"The Queen Mother is the mother of the Emperor, and Lin Zhi is just a humble commoner. The Queen Mother wants to punish Lin Zhi, and Lin Zhi can only bear it." Even though he was kneeling, the man's chest and back were still straight. His voice was neither humble nor arrogant, which made people feel that he was sleeping in the palace.
It was suddenly bone-chilling inside and outside.
Although it is midsummer, there is not enough sunshine. Almost all the moist water vapor squeezed out by the clouds has gathered on the ground.
Empress Dowager Zhang's bedroom does not face the sun, and the moisture on the bluestone floor becomes thicker and thicker. Kneeling on it, it only takes a moment to get tired of the sweat all over your body.
Lin Chu half-squinted her eyes. The relationship between Queen Mother Zhang and Lin Zhi was very strange. She couldn't explain how she felt, but they were definitely not monarchs and ministers!
Could it be... She took a deep breath. It was Queen Mother Zhang who fell in love with Lin Zhi?! So... he is still unmarried, so... Aunt Gui would be so affectionate towards him.
OMG!
The room was so quiet that you could hear the needle drop in the Changchun Palace. It became even more clear that when the small-leaf red sandalwood rosary beads in the hands of Queen Mother Zhang turned, the sound they made was clear and distinguishable.
"Guifen." In the palace, the agarwood in the old sterling silver and gilt hollow flower incense burner swirled around twice. Then Queen Mother Zhang slowly opened her mouth and looked at Aunt Gui standing to one side with her half-narrowed eyes.
.
"Have you ever visited the Yangxin Palace?"
"If you dare to forget your Majesty's instructions, of course I've already asked about them."
Empress Dowager Zhang sneered and pointed at Lin Zhi and Lin Chu with her fingers wearing red gold armor: "Tell them."
Aunt Gui stood up straight as she said: "Since the marriage was granted to Princess Hualing of Southern Xinjiang yesterday, the Emperor smashed a whole set of dishes, eighteen in total."
"Did you hear that?" Queen Mother Zhang threw the rosary beads in her hand at Lin Zhi: "These are all good things done by your Lin family!"
Lin Zhi was unable to move as he was hit by a Buddhist bead. The solid wood bead was very heavy and left a crimson mark on his cheek.
"Mom, please calm down." Aunt Gui was shocked. She immediately picked up the Buddhist beads and handed them to the Queen Mother Zhang: "I'd like to teach you that ministers are trivial and your body is the most important thing. Don't get angry over irrelevant things."
"This evil beast!" Empress Dowager Zhang pointed at Lin Zhi fiercely: "No matter what the emperor and the Ai family want to do, he will definitely do it against each other. You will be a disaster to Xi Chu if you live, why don't you die!"
Lin Chu frowned and suddenly looked at Lin Zhi. The man's body was still upright, and there was no emotion on his unparalleled handsome cheeks. But the storm was clearly fixed in those narrow phoenix eyes, which seemed to have a cold glow, which made people feel uncomfortable.
Suffocating despair.
"Are you Lin Chu?" Queen Mother Zhang drank a cup of tea and raised her eyes to look at Lin Chu. The fierceness in her brows dissipated instantly, leaving a graceful and peaceful look.
"Queen Mother!"
"Shut up!" Queen Mother Zhang frowned and glared at Lin Zhi: "Don't speak without the will of the Ai family, otherwise you will kneel outside for the Ai family. No one can protect her then!"
Lin Zhi was furious, with dark hatred rolling in his eyes. After all, he looked away.
Empress Dowager Zhang flicked the rosary again and looked at Lin Chu with sharp eyes: "I heard that it was you who ruined the marriage between Yan'er and the Emperor of the Eastern Tang Dynasty?"
"When will Princess Rongmin get married?" Lin Chu raised his head with astonishment in his eyes: "Lin Chu didn't hear about it."
"..." Queen Mother Zhang paused while holding the rosary beads in her hand: "You are used to acting, and you are worthy of being the son of that old fox Lin Guanru."
"Take this thing and take a look at it." Empress Dowager Zhang winked at Aunt Gui.
