Marrying Gold and Jade

After hearing this, the deepest thought in Emperor Xianzhen's mind was: from the beginning to the end, he only regarded her as a subject, and never as the woman he admired.

The biggest mistake he made in his life was that he wanted to sit on the throne and live with the woman he loved for the rest of his life.

He didn't mention those things back then, but he knew them very well.

But he took the blame on himself, and the queen was like Lu Yusheng. She made mistakes, but he turned a blind eye and was not harsh. Because to him, she was a good "queen".

A good queen should not scream at herself hysterically like she did today.

"Then what do you want? Ling Fei is no longer alive. Don't you know why the Sixth and Seventh Brothers' biological mothers died?"

He had no intention of arguing with her today. He just wanted the Queen to bow to her son and seek his forgiveness. When he was provoked by this, Emperor Xianzhen could no longer sit still and stood up and strode out.

He only paused at the closed palace door and said, "Queen, I have been tolerant enough towards you."

After saying that, he pushed the door and left.

The palace maids waited for a long time outside the hall. As soon as the emperor left, Liang Rui hurried in and happened to see the queen sitting on the ground.

"Miss!"

"He's right," the queen was mumbling, "He's been very tolerant of me by letting me sit on the throne for another twenty years."

"He dealt with Lu Yusheng, and the next one is me, me..."

Liang Rui wanted to advise her something, but the Queen just kept mumbling these words and didn't listen to a word he said.

Another day passed, and Pingyao was about to reach the imperial city. That night, Lin Yu was suddenly awakened and heard the palace servants shouting something.

Wangyue Pavilion is so remote, yet someone can run here and shout in the middle of the night. It must be no small matter.

She sat up on the couch, and soon Mingyuan pushed the door open and came in.

Tell her: "The queen committed suicide."

The news was so sudden that Lin Yu pinched her thigh secretly, wondering if she was dreaming.

He rushed to Kunning Palace in the middle of the night, but found Xu Jinxuan standing there early, separated from the emperor in front, just watching coldly under the eaves of the palace.

Inside the palace, the chief steward Liang fell to the ground and cried, "The queen has been restless for years, and she often burns calming incense to fall asleep. I also advised the queen to call the imperial physician, but the queen refused!"

"After His Majesty left that day, Your Majesty was doing fine as usual. Who would have known, who would have known that tonight..."

Lin Yu saw the empress's phoenix coronet and bridal robe, with a red silk ribbon next to her head, and her face had turned ashen. He thought that she must have committed suicide with the red silk ribbon.

It is clear that I will be able to see Pingyao tomorrow.

Pingyao had made great military achievements and could have protected her, but she chose to commit suicide tonight.

Lin Yu would never believe that no one interfered in this.

Her eyes fixed on Xu Jinxuan standing at the entrance of the palace, and she immediately had an idea: Gu.

She had been troubled by the love Gu, and had also seen other Gu that could manipulate people's hearts in the Gu cases she had read before.

Ming Yuan, who was standing beside him, saw all this and his expression was indifferent. He didn't look sad, let alone happy.

He only said to Lin Yu: "If you don't want to watch it, just pretend you don't know and go back to sleep."

Lin Yu was speechless, he just shook his head, indicating that he wanted to stay here.

She saw Emperor Xianzhen squatting beside the empress, his brows lowered, making it impossible to see his expression.

It was also at this time that Xu Jinxuan turned around, and Mingyuan's eyes met his. The tacit understanding between the two of them had now disappeared.

Now that the queen has been removed, they no longer have a common enemy and will only be rivals from now on.

When Pingyao rode his horse to the outside of the palace gate, he saw a white banner hanging at the Donghua Gate.

The only thing that can make the imperial palace see the truth is a national mourning.

She pulled the reins to the horse, turned the horse's hooves, and asked loudly, "What's the matter?"

The eunuch in charge of decoration did not even recognize the person in front of him. Seeing that the woman was wearing a tight red outfit and her face had rough and yellow skin, he thought she was just passing by.

He replied impatiently: "The queen passed away last night, why don't you take off your red dress!"

Pingyao's body swayed on the horse's back. The reins were too tight, and the horse neighed loudly, almost throwing her off the horse's back.

On the other side is the Moon-Watching Pavilion.

Lin Yu had just stood up and changed into plain clothes when she saw Xu Jinxuan in purple, pushing open the door of the main hall without any hesitation.

Lin Yu was not surprised that he refused to mourn for the Queen.

But he still couldn't help asking, "You were willing to go to the Queen's palace to see her before, was it to put a curse on her?"

Lin Yu knew that he wanted to do this kind of thing silently, and he still didn't know when he was planted with the love poison.

Xu Jinxuan came here to bring people today. Seeing that she asked, he did not deny it. "Back then, she framed my mother and used poison to harm the royal heir. My mother did not do it. Now it's my turn, so I will naturally do what I said."

"It's a pity that planting a Gu is difficult. When I produce a Gu, I need someone to help me get close to it."

Hearing the footsteps approaching from behind, Xu Jinxuan said again: "I originally wanted to torture her for a while longer, but I didn't expect that someone would light calming incense in her palace every day."

Mingyuan also entered the main hall, and both of them focused their eyes on him at the same time.

Xu Jinxuan said, "My Gu only brought out the thing that worries her most. The tranquilizing incense can actually make her go crazy sooner."

Hearing him say this, Mingyuan met Lin Yu's gaze, lowered his eyes slightly, and did not refute.

Lin Yu naturally understood that the queen was indeed poisoned by a Gu, but the Gu was planted by the two of them together.

Compared with Xu Jinxuan, Mingyuan is more likely to get close to the queen and has a greater chance of influencing the incense lit in her palace.

They wanted revenge, and Lin Yu shouldn't have said anything, but when she thought about Pingyao coming back today, she always felt depressed and indescribably uncomfortable.

Xu Jinxuan, who was dressed in purple, urged: "I let you live out before, now it's time for you to come back with me."

After all, from today on, he is no longer an ally. It is difficult to get rid of the queen, because Xu Jinxuan wants her to be tortured, just like his mother.

As for the prince who is isolated and helpless, there is no need for him to join forces with others.

Seeing Lin Yu standing there in a daze, Xu Jinxuan wanted to go forward and pull her away, but his other hand, which was obviously rougher and larger, pulled her over first.

"She lives here with me."

Facing him, Xu Jinxuan's face was cold, "Let her go."

"Fifth Brother was able to plant the love poison in her silently, so does he also want to get rid of me silently?"

Love Gu was also a knot between the two of them, and when it was suddenly brought up by an outsider, Xu Jinxuan's brows suddenly frowned.

"I said let her go."

"okay!"

Lin Yu was very confused, she knew that the two would become enemies in the future and fight to the death for the throne.

But she didn't want to be caught between these two people, and she didn't want to see either of them die in front of her.
