Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 356 Xuanyuan Jing ~ Nanzhao Kingdom

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

When Concubine Lin came in, she saw Huang Ye and the emperor sitting at the table drinking tea.

It's just like…

The couple's daily routine is the same, it's really an eyesore to watch.

What they drank must have been the same green tea that she had drunk in Ningyuxuan at noon.

"Concubine, please see the emperor."

Concubine Lin bowed deeply.

She knew she had a tough battle tonight.

If she wins, she'll be fine. If she loses...

Then she would lose not only her own life, but also the lives of her family members in her mother's family. Maybe...

And the lives of the nine members of the Lin family.

So she couldn't lose, she didn't want to die. She had successfully avoided a dead end last time, so why should she die?

"Get up."

The emperor had no expression on his face and nothing could be seen.

But Concubine Lin knew that he was angry.

It must be that bitch Ye Jieyu who said a lot of bad things about her in front of the emperor when she was not here.

Looking at the person from the Ministry of Punishment who came in with her, Concubine Lin made up her mind.

She doesn't want to go to the Ministry of Punishment, she wants to live.

Not only does she want to live well, she also wants to sit on the supreme position.

"What do you have to say about Concubine Shu?"

The emperor was the first to break the silence.

"I don't know what the emperor means."

Lin Jieyu fell to her knees with a thud and spoke in a trembling voice.

The emperor knew her character more or less. Even if he caught her in this matter, she would still make excuses.

He glanced at the person who brought Concubine Lin in.

"Lin Jieyu, your Aunt Yan in Qingyue Palace is Concubine Shu, don't you know that?"

The man walked up to Concubine Lin, looked into her eyes, and asked word by word.

Lin Jieyu suddenly felt as if she was enveloped by a negative energy, and she couldn't help shivering.

"I don't know. I...what about my Aunt Yan? Where did Aunt Yan go?"

Concubine Lin knelt down before the emperor and hugged his thighs.

"Your Majesty, you must trust me. I really don't know anything. Concubine Shu..."

"How could Aunt Yan be Concubine Shu? Where is Aunt Yan?"

She was in tears and was really sad.

Huang Ye watched Lin Jieyu's performance with great interest.

She felt that Concubine Lin's acting skills needed to be improved.

She cries so beautifully, this is because... she wants the emperor to be soft-hearted and protect her.

The emperor was not fooled by her pitiful appearance.

On the contrary, he felt very disappointed, very, very disappointed.

"Lin Jieyu, when you came in just now, I was still thinking, if you were honest and explained the matter clearly...

He lowered his head and looked at Concubine Lin who was crying with tears in her eyes.

"Perhaps I will suppress this matter because of our friendship over the past few years."

Looking at Concubine Lin who was stunned, he shook his head.

"It's a pity that you think I'm a fool. You think you're smart and can get away with anything wrong..."

"I was wrong. I shouldn't have kept it secret from the emperor. At that time... I was afraid of death..."

Lin Jieyu was really crying at this time, she was so scared.

She felt that she must have been blinded by confusion, otherwise why would she think that the king of a country was someone who could be easily fooled.

"Are you admitting that you knew Aunt Yan was Concubine Shu?"

The person from the Ministry of Punishment asked.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to tell you everything. I only ask for your forgiveness..."

Concubine Lin ignored the people from the Ministry of Punishment and just looked at the emperor sadly.

Huang Ye couldn't help but burst out laughing, and she quickly covered her mouth with her hands.

This Concubine Lin is really interesting.

Even at this point, she is still bargaining with the emperor. I wonder what she is thinking?

Is the Emperor a man who can bargain?

"Since she doesn't want to talk, take her to your place and let her talk."

The emperor was extremely disappointed when he saw Concubine Lin, who refused to repent, and he said to the people from the Ministry of Punishment.

"No...I don't want to go to the Ministry of Punishment..."

Lin Jieyu screamed in fright.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to go to the Ministry of Punishment. I will tell you everything."

Concubine Lin held the emperor's legs tightly, fearing that the people from the Ministry of Punishment would take her away.

"That day...that night, Concubine Shu came to Qingyue Palace with a masked man, and the masked man twisted Aunt Yan's neck..."

Concubine Lin was trembling with fear.

"The Concubine Shu has disguised herself as Aunt Yan, and I am very scared... I am afraid of death, afraid that I will never see the emperor again..."

"So you told them about the connections that the deposed queen gave you, and asked them to frame me?"

Huang Ye took over and asked.

"Your Majesty, you have to believe me. If I hadn't obeyed them, I would have died."

Concubine Lin avoided answering Huang Ye's question and just looked at the emperor begging.

"I really feel that if I don't detoxify you so early, you might still be determined to die and won't compromise..."

The emperor said tiredly.

Huang Ye felt that the emperor was overthinking it. Concubine Lin was a person who valued her life very much.

As long as there is hope for one day, she will never give up.

"Jieyu Lin, collaborating with the enemy is a serious crime punishable by the execution of all nine generations of your clan."

Eunuch Yu, who had been silent since Concubine Lin came in, suddenly said something.

Hearing Eunuch Yu say this, Concubine Lin became even more frightened.

"I beg Your Majesty to let me go. I will never dare to do it again. Please, Your Majesty..."

Concubine Lin kowtowed continuously, and from beginning to end, she never pleaded for mercy for her family.

Everyone in the room was shocked by her coldness, but she was still unaware of it and was still begging the emperor for mercy.

"Take the person back first and find someone to watch over him. I need to think carefully about what to do about this matter."

The emperor waved his hands in pain and said to the man from the Ministry of Punishment.

Concubine Lin, who was dizzy from kowtow, fainted when she heard the emperor's words.

~~~~

Not to mention the ups and downs in the imperial palace of the Great Xia Dynasty.

And in the far south, the Nanzhao Kingdom, famous for its poison, also welcomed the person that the Emperor of Nanzhao had been waiting for for a long time.

Nan Zhao harem.

Xuanyuan Jing and Lin Huishan were taken into a hall.

Looking at the person sitting in the upper seat who looked somewhat like herself, Xuanyuan Jing bowed down.

"Jing'er greets uncle, uncle, I wish you good health."

Lin Huishan knelt behind him and kowtowed.

"Jing'er..."

Emperor Nan Zhao walked over quickly and helped Xuanyuan Jing up.

"Good, very good... Uncle is really happy that you can come back safely."

He patted Xuanyuan Jing's shoulder. This child looked very much like him and looked very gentle.

"This must be Jing'er's princess, get up quickly."

He looked at Lin Huishan with a kind look, like a kind elder.

Lin Huishan kowtowed again quickly.

"…Kowtow to uncle, wishing good health to uncle"

She didn't know how to address herself for a moment, so she just kowtowed.

Emperor Nan Zhao raised his hand with a smile, motioning her to get up.

"You are all good children. You have worked hard along the way. In the future..."

He paused.

"From now on, this Nanzhao Palace will be your home."

"Jing'er thanks uncle."

Xuanyuan Jing choked up.

"But, mother... I don't know how she is now. Jing'er is worried day and night..."
