Chapter 257 The Emperor Protects the Queen

The emperor and the queen both thought they could reconcile and put aside their past grievances and start a good life. As night fell, the lights inside and outside the imperial city were like stars, reflecting the splendor of the palace. The emperor and the queen strolled in the imperial garden, and the atmosphere between them seemed more harmonious than ever before. The emperor gently combed the queen's hair, which was ruffled by the breeze, with deep tenderness in his eyes. "I remember that when you first entered the palace, you were also so green." The emperor smiled, as if he was trapped in distant memories. The queen gently leaned on the emperor's shoulder and whispered, "I also remember that the emperor was still a young man in his prime at that time." The two smiled at each other, as if the past grievances had disappeared with the passage of time. They all knew that there was still a gap in their hearts, but they were willing to try to let it go for the stability of the country and the future of the prince. However, on this quiet night, the prince paced anxiously in his bedroom. He heard the spy's report and learned that the emperor and the queen intended to reconcile, and he couldn't help but feel a strong anger in his heart. He felt that his mother had died in vain, the queen's evil deeds had not been punished as they should be, and his father was still protecting her.

Yesterday, the prince heard his spy tell him about this matter. His hands were shaking with anger. He thought to himself, did my mother die in vain? Did the Queen do so many evil things, and my father still protected her? General Lin's evil deeds are about to be announced, and I am about to succeed, but I can't resist a word from the Queen. I think I am a joke. No, I must take revenge. I can't let them do this. I want everyone to be buried with my mother.

Actually, Zhang Biao is the prince's man. The prince sent Zhang Biao just to make the Zhao family and the Lin family become enemies and kill each other, and then report to the emperor. Zhang Biao has been undercover in the Lin Mansion for many years. Yesterday, General Lin did not intend to kill Zhao Cheng at all. It was just the prince's order that they must become enemies. The prince felt that he would succeed, but he did not expect that the queen's words would calm the matter down.

The prince was unwilling to accept this, so he asked the imperial physician beside him to secretly give the emperor a chronic poisoning drug. He did not want to see his father gradually favoring the queen and the queen's brother.

Although the imperial physician was reluctant, he had to obey the prince's order. He secretly mixed poison into the emperor's daily medicine, hoping to realize the prince's plan without anyone noticing. However, things did not go as smoothly as the prince imagined. Although the emperor was getting weaker and weaker, he still did not find any signs of poisoning. The prince also began to feel a little uneasy. He was worried that his plan would be exposed, and even more worried that his mother would not be able to rest in peace in the underworld.

In this palace full of conspiracies and intrigues, everyone is fighting for their own interests. But in this seemingly calm contest, who can truly control their fate? Perhaps only time can give the answer.

Outside the palace, Lord Zhao had brought his servants to the Lin residence. General Lin was not afraid at all because he had found his sister yesterday. His sister and the elite soldiers sent by the emperor were hiding on the roof ready to shoot arrows. Lord Zhao was about to kill his enemy when suddenly many assassins came out from the roof and shot Lord Zhao and the servants he brought with him to death.

Lord Zhao never closed his eyes until his death. General Lin looked at Lord Zhao and his servants who had fallen to the ground, but his heart was calm. He knew that all this was the work of the prince, but he also knew that he could not act rashly. He had to wait for the right time. In this palace full of conspiracy and hatred, everyone was fighting for their own interests. However, in this seemingly calm contest, who can truly control their fate?
