The man she imprisoned was a white-skinned
Chapter 113 Don’t do this next time
"You should be satisfied now." The Emperor of Beiliang had a calm expression.
With the Beiliang Emperor's intelligence, how could he not see that it was all planned by Xie Lin.
But Xie Jingce really disappointed him too much. Brothers in the royal family have always been fighting each other. It doesn’t matter what Xie Lin does, the Emperor of Beiliang can just turn a blind eye.
But this time, the fact that Xie Jingce loved a man was made public, which not only damaged the reputation of the Yu family, but also the reputation of the royal family.
"Father, I have already had the news of this matter blocked. No one present today will reveal it."
Xie Lin lowered his eyes. He was slapped in the face for no reason, but he didn't seem to feel anything.
Knowing what the Emperor of Beiliang was angry about, Xie Lin had already made all the preparations.
If he wanted, he could just distance himself from this matter, and even the Emperor of Beiliang would not be able to find out who was responsible for it.
He did this in order to negotiate terms with the Emperor of Beiliang.
"You are the only prince who is qualified to inherit the throne. I will not make you the crown prince." The Emperor of Beiliang suddenly suppressed all his expressions, and many white hairs suddenly appeared between his hair.
He watched Xie Jingce grow up, and the Northern Liang Emperor placed a lot of hope on him. However, he did not expect that he would be wrong in the end, and it was Xie Lin who really won the war.
"I don't dream of such a status."
Although everyone knew what Xie Lin was thinking, he still had to act like a filial son in front of Emperor Beiliang.
The Emperor of Beiliang waved his hand, seemingly not making any comment.
"Starting tomorrow, you will serve as regent of the state as the prince. I have been feeling unwell recently, so you will govern the country on my behalf."
The Emperor of Beiliang sighed. The world will always be dominated by young people, as the new generation will always push the old generation forward.
Although Xie Yu's face looked the same as usual, his body was already very weak. Xie Lin knew the reason why even the imperial physician couldn't diagnose his pulse.
In the past six months, Xie Lin has been increasingly favored by the emperor, while Xie Jingce has been neglected. Yu Shi looked calm on the surface, but in fact, she could no longer sit still.
It was difficult for them to attack Xie Lin directly, and no one could get close to Xie Lin.
So the Queen turned her target to the Emperor of Beiliang. A husband and wife should be bound by love for a hundred days, but in the face of such great imperial power and wealth, everything is just empty talk.
The concubine that the Northern Liang Emperor had obtained recently was young, lively, graceful and charming, and she pleased the Northern Liang Emperor very much.
But from the beginning, she was the Queen's person. Working hard for Yu, every time they had sex, the chronic poison in her body would invade the Beiliang Emperor's internal organs.
It must be said that the Queen is a shrewd person, she can keep her composure like this. The poison of the Northern Liang Emperor has penetrated deep into his bones, and will break out in less than half a year.
For the queen, the best strategy now is to let the Emperor of Beiliang "die unexpectedly" and push the crown prince Xie Jingce to that position legitimately. Even if it means poisoning the emperor, she is willing to take the risk of being exposed on her own.
But Xie Lin was one step ahead of her and deposed the crown prince before the Northern Liang Emperor died of poison.
In this way, even if the Emperor of Beiliang died in front of him now, he would be the only one qualified to inherit the throne.
If the Queen knew that the opportunity she gained by taking this risk was just a favor to Xie Lin, she would probably be so angry that she would vomit blood.
That night, the Emperor of Beiliang knew that the outcome was a foregone conclusion, so he made a deal with Xie Lin.
After his death, he will leave a will to legitimately help Xie Lin take the throne. Even now, he can hand over the full power of the government to Xie Lin.
All Xie Lin needs to do is promise him one thing, and that is Xie Jingce's life.
"I can satisfy you with everything you want, except Ce'er's life. You must promise me that you will let him live out the rest of his life in peace. After you ascend the throne, you must not kill him."
The Emperor of Beiliang was not a heartless person. How could he bear to watch Xie Lin take the life of his little son, whom he doted on and had watched grow up under his knees?
The Emperor of Beiliang understood that given Xie Lin’s hatred for the Yu family, he would definitely wipe them out once he ascended the throne.
So he wanted Xie Lin to promise him that it didn't matter how he took revenge on the Queen, he must leave Xie Jingce a way to survive.
Xie Lin nodded slightly, agreeing to the condition of Emperor Beiliang.
"I don't want to take Xie Jingce's life. If he can stay in another tribe and behave himself, I will not tolerate him." Xie Lin said without hesitation.
He and Yu Shi were at loggerheads, but Xie Jingce never attacked him.
Although Xie Lin himself does not have any brotherly love, as long as Xie Jingce behaves honestly in the future, he will not lose the support of the people.
Emperor Beiliang felt relieved after hearing Xie Lin's words.
The next day, the news that the general was beheaded and the prince was deposed spread throughout Chang'an, naturally including the queen in the harem.
Yu Shengtang fell onto the phoenix chair in disbelief, as if he had lost his soul.
Why? It’s only been half a year since that little beast came back, but things belonging to their Yu family have undergone earth-shaking changes.
She regretted deeply, why did she keep Xie Lin back then? And why did God let her have her own child after keeping Xie Lin?
Over the years, she had been lenient towards Xie Lin. Perhaps she should have strangled him completely from the beginning when he was still young.
There is no use regretting, the dust has settled.
Everyone in the harem looked at the queen with sympathy, they were all waiting for news.
But the imagined punishment did not come, and Yu Shengtang's life did not seem to be disturbed. On the surface, she was still the noble queen and the master of the harem as usual.
But inside, things were completely different from before, and what she had been desperately pursuing had been shattered.
Her glory as a member of the Yu family also disappeared when Yu Shengan was beheaded.
Even if she still retained the position of empress, what was the point? Everyone avoided the Yu family, fearing that the Northern Liang Emperor would get angry and implicate their family.
Xie Lin and Yu's identities changed quietly, and the court officials all tried to curry favor with Xie Lin.
Even the court officials from Xie Jingce's faction severed ties with the Yu family and defected to Xie Lin.
However, the person involved did not seem to be happy about such a victory. His face was still as expressionless and lifeless as before.
"Congratulations, Your Highness. Everything went well." Li Chuan had already learned the news that night and was happy for Xie Lin from the bottom of his heart.
She looked at Xie Lin. There was no joy in his expression, and no one could tell what he was thinking.
"Your Highness, Miss Lichuan has been with you all the way. You should also give her a response."
Seeing that the dust had settled, Yan Qing was no longer as vigilant as before and started to joke with the two of them.
Upon hearing this, Li Chuan lowered his head in embarrassment, a blush appearing on his face.
"There is little that Lichuan can do. Your Highness is wise and intelligent. Even without Lichuan, Your Highness will succeed one day."
With his sweetheart right in front of him, Li Chuan was overwhelmed with joy.
She had never done anything inappropriate towards Xie Lin, but now in the darkness of the night, she suddenly became bolder.
Li Chuan's hand suddenly wrapped around Xie Lin's waist, and the sweet fragrance from the woman instantly surrounded Xie Lin.
The moment the fragrance approached, Xie Lin subconsciously thought of the delicate fragrance he smelled in the princess's mansion.
The fragrance is lingering and refreshing without a trace of sweetness.
It was this sudden sense of fragmentation that made him push Li Chuan away reflexively.
The force was quite strong and Li Chuan didn't have time to react. He was quickly pushed away from Xie Lin and fell straight to the ground.
"Your Highness." Yan Qing looked at this scene in astonishment. It seemed that his own Highness had always been distant from Li Chuan.
"Miss Lichuan, don't be angry. His Highness has never been interested in women."
Yan Qing went over and supported Li Chuan, who looked very hurt.
As the goddess of Wuxian, she was revered by everyone in the tribe. This was the first time she took the initiative to throw herself into Xie Lin's arms, but was directly pushed away by Xie Lin, which greatly frustrated her self-esteem.
Yan Qing explained to Li Chuan in a gentle voice, but the instigator said nothing.
"Don't do this next time." Xie Lin said this and ignored the two people behind him.
