The man she imprisoned was a white-skinned

"Since the Queen likes this kind of game, then this prince is ready to play anytime. However, the Queen sends as many people to assassinate me as there will be as many bloodstains on Xie Jingce's body the next day."

Yu was stunned by the threatening words. Xie Lin had always lived under her suppression. When had he ever threatened her like this?

Yu's chest rose and fell, as if she was suppressing great anger.

"Do you know how miserable the death of that little palace maid was? Someone in my palace dared to approach the emperor deliberately and even won his favor. But so what? The emperor doesn't remember her at all."

"So I sentenced her to be torn apart by five horses. Do you know the pain of having your body torn apart alive? And you still have a little consciousness left to feel the pain."

Empress Yu knew best what kind of words would hurt Xie Lin, and it was undoubtedly his biological mother whom he had never met.

"Unfortunately, I had her tongue cut off a long time ago. She had to endure such great pain that she didn't even have the right to scream. What's more, it was the day after she gave birth."

"Your biological mother risked her life to keep you alive, but you didn't even know she existed from the beginning. Kneel down and worship me, respect me, and become my child."

"If the spirit of that little palace maid in heaven saw you, would she want to kill you in her stomach? Or, your appearance was a mistake in the first place."

Queen Yu had calmed down, and her eyes suddenly became gentle and nostalgic, as if she had remembered something extremely interesting.

The next moment, the person who was still at the bottom of the stairs had already arrived in front of her. Queen Yu didn't even see him move, and Xie Lin had already grabbed her neck like a ghost.

His cold lips turned pale and gray, and his sinister and cruel eyes gradually turned red.

There was no expression on his ghostly face, and he seemed to be looking at Queen Yu as if she were a corpse.

Queen Yu didn't believe that Xie Lin would kill her openly in her own palace. She widened her eyes and unconsciously held Xie Lin's hands, as if she wanted to push them away.

But they were like the shackles of a poisonous snake, tightly stifling one's breathing.

He seemed like the Black and White Impermanence that came to claim his life in a midnight dream, with violent murderous aura roaring around him, wanting to end the Queen's life once and for all.

Seeing that her struggle was futile, Queen Yu dropped her hands.

She was already feeling dizzy from lack of breath, but a hint of joy appeared at the corner of her mouth.

It was this triumphant smile that made Xie Lin suddenly sober up.

He loosened his hand slightly, and Queen Yu's body fell to the ground like broken willow catkins.

Yu had already fallen to the ground unconscious. If Xie Lin had let go a few seconds later, she would have been a corpse.

It was the smile on her lips that made Xie Lin let her go temporarily.

Empress Yu died here, and Xie Lin could not escape the blame. In the end, he had to hand over the throne to Xie Jingce, and Empress Yu's wish was fulfilled.

But how could Xie Lin let them have their way?

He put away the murderous intent in his eyes and casually stretched out his hand. A powerful internal force covered Queen Yu's neck, dissipating his five scarlet fingerprints.

But this is only on the surface. The queen will still suffer the pain she deserves, but others will not be able to see it at all.

Xie Lin understood that Queen Yu said these words deliberately to provoke him.

But after all, little is known about his biological mother. Empress Yu wanted to provoke him and revealed all her secrets.

For the sake of her own reputation, Queen Yu did not leave anyone alive in the palace, so even if Xie Lin almost killed the queen, no one would know.

He clapped his hands in disgust, took out a handkerchief and wiped it carefully again and again, as if he had touched something dirty.

"Your Highness, are you okay?" Xie Lin came out of Fengyi Palace. Yan Qing had been waiting outside for a long time.

His Highness's complexion did not seem to be well, and Yan Qing was a little worried.

"What does the Queen want to do? Is she summoning His Highness to the palace to pay respects just to anger His Highness and put herself to death?"

Yan Qing couldn't guess what Queen Yu was thinking, but he felt from the bottom of his heart that this matter was far from as simple as it seemed.

"Do you still remember Yu Shengan?" Xie Linkong's leisurely voice came.

If things go as he expected, Yu Shengan, who has been guarding the border, will have to return to Beijing.

He was the great general of Beiliang, holding important military power. He had been guarding the border. However, Xie Lin's high-profile return to the palace this time was bound to arouse the fear of the prince's party.

As it happened, the Three Pass Battle planned by Meng Ziyan resulted in a great victory for Yu Shengan’s army.

The great general who already had great military achievements became even more prominent at this time, and he almost became an invincible and heroic figure in the hearts of the people.

I'm sure that this time when he comes back, he will not let Xie Lin have an easy time.

When he was still a fledgling, Yu Sheng'an would throw knives at him openly and secretly.

He played an indispensable role in the dangerous situation in Beiliang, and Yu Shengan issued a death order to his subordinates during the Battle of Pingliang, which was to make sure that Xie Lin died "accidentally" on the battlefield.

Yu Shengan took such good care of him, how could Xie Lin not reciprocate?

A faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. Unlike his usual sneer, this smile was like the warm sun in winter, gentle but not bone-chilling.

Seeing his highness showing such a strange expression, Yan Qing couldn't help but take a step back.

It looks like Yu Shengan is going to die miserably soon.

"It will take some time for Yu Shengan to return to the capital. The Queen angered me just to divert my attention so that Yu Shengan's return will not be a surprise."

Unfortunately, Yu Shengtang’s idea was wrong.

If Xie Lin was really such an impatient person, how could he have survived under their clutches to this extent.

I don't know if they have ever regretted it. The little ant that could be easily crushed to death has grown into a ferocious tiger. They can no longer bear the hatred that Xie Lin has endured over the years.

"I received the secret guards' intelligence a few days ago, and my letter must have been delivered to Xie Yu. Notify the Imperial Guards and order the secret guards to ambush on the way back to Beijing. I will go to Yangzhou in person."

Xie Lin casually threw the military token to Yan Qing.

After Yan Qing saw clearly what it was, he hurriedly caught it. Only his highness could throw away such a valuable thing carelessly.

Everything that rises must fall, and great achievements will shock the ruler. Yu Shengan did not understand such a simple truth, and his glorious return to Beijing was just the beginning of the Hongmen Banquet.

After all, he is a military general and doesn't have these thoughts.

But the imperial family is the most suspicious and the most ruthless.

The Three Passes are located at the junction of Qizhou and Yangzhou. Although Yangzhou is nominally a city of Nanmeng, its close border with Beiliang has attracted merchants from all directions.

Qizhou has already ambushed secret guards. If Yu Shengan escapes to Yangzhou, it will be inconvenient to take action.

Therefore, Xie Lin will go to Yangzhou in person to make full preparations and intercept Yu Shengan at the entrance to Yangzhou.

Xie Lin led Yan Qing to the main gate of the imperial palace. His inky black robe fluttered as he walked slowly down the long street leading away from the palace.
