The weak prince's queen

Sunlight filtered through the carved window lattices and spilled onto the ground, creating patches of dappled light and shadow. Lin Ruoyun and Madam Lin walked into the room slowly, arm in arm, affectionately.

As soon as she entered the door, Lin Ruoyun gently let go of her mother's arm and said in a soft voice, "Mom, I'm a little tired today. I really don't have any energy. I really want to rest for a while." As she spoke, she rubbed her temples with her hands, and a trace of fatigue appeared on her face.

Mrs. Lin looked at her slightly tired daughter with pity and replied softly, "Okay, my dear girl, then mother won't disturb you. Go to bed and have a comfortable sleep." After that, she patted Lin Ruoyun's shoulder gently and turned to leave.

Lin Ruoyun didn't say anything more, just nodded slightly in agreement. After Mrs. Lin's figure gradually faded into the distance, she slowly walked to the bedside and gently sat on the edge. At this moment, the room was silent, with only the occasional crisp bird song coming from outside the window.

Lin Ruoyun sat quietly, her thoughts surging like a tidal wave. She couldn't help but recall her recent conversation with Xiao Zixuan, wondering: Why would the Crown Prince be so concerned about that bitch Lin Ruoxue? He'd even considered asking her father to report this! What kind of mystery was hidden in this?

At this thought, Lin Ruoyun suddenly jumped up from the bed, as if she had suddenly understood something. Her eyes lit up, the corners of her mouth curled up slightly, and she muttered to herself, "So that's it! He's trying to use this incident to get my father to impeach the Prince of Jin. Humph, I knew the Crown Prince wouldn't defend that bitch Lin Ruoxue for no reason. Haha... If that's the case, then I can't miss this opportunity. I must help the Crown Prince achieve his wish."

Having made up her mind, Lin Ruoyun immediately raised her voice and shouted, "Xiang'er, Xiang'er..."

Soon, a pretty little maid dressed in emerald green came running in. When she came close, she bowed respectfully and asked, "Miss, what do you want me to do for you?"

Lin Ruoyun frowned slightly and asked in a soft voice, "Xiang'er, where is Daddy right now?"

Xiang'er bowed slightly and replied softly, "Miss, judging by the time, the master must be in the study handling matters right now."

Lin Ruoyun nodded slightly and said with her red lips: "Okay, let's go find daddy now." After that, she took light steps and walked towards the study with Xiang'er.

Not long after, Lin Ruoyun's graceful figure appeared in front of Master Lin's study. She gently pushed the door open, stepped inside, and carefully closed it again. Then, she walked to the desk and called softly to Master Lin, who was busy writing, "Dad..."

Upon hearing this, Master Lin slowly raised his head, a kind smile instantly appearing on his face. He replied, "Oh, it turns out to be my Yun'er. What brings you here to see me today?"

Lin Ruoyun hurried forward, stretched out her slender hands, and gently placed them on Master Lin's shoulders. While massaging them, she said coquettishly, "Daddy works hard all day, and I'm very worried about you. So, today I have nothing to do, so I came to see you. I hope you don't overwork yourself."

Upon hearing this, Mr. Lin laughed heartily and said repeatedly, "Okay, okay, my dear daughter is the most caring!" As he spoke, he closed his eyes comfortably, enjoying his daughter's warm care and consideration.

At this moment, Lin Ruoyun's hesitant voice suddenly rang out from the quiet study: "Dad, there's something going on in the city lately. I'm not sure if I should mention it to you."

Master Lin sat upright on the armchair, looking ahead with a serious expression, and slowly said, "Speak." His voice was not loud, but it revealed a sense of majesty.

Lin Ruoyun, who was standing aside, bowed slightly and said softly: "Recently, the people have been talking about this matter a lot! They all say that Prince Jin beat the eldest sister in the street. This matter is almost spreading throughout the capital!" As she spoke, she carefully observed her father's expression.

Upon hearing this, Master Lin frowned slightly, a hint of displeasure showing on his face. He said angrily, "You are a girl in the boudoir. Why don't you stay in your room all day doing needlework or reading poetry? Why are you asking about these things? Don't meddle in so many trivial matters!"

Seeing her father's anger, Lin Ruoyun quickly stepped forward and explained anxiously, "Father, please calm down! I don't mean to meddle in other people's business. It's just that this matter has become so serious now. If you turn a blind eye to it and do nothing about it, I'm afraid you'll be criticized and gossiped about, and people will make sarcastic remarks about you!"

Master Lin snorted, waved his hand, and said impatiently, "Don't pay attention to these rumors. This matter is far more complicated than you imagine, and the waters are very deep! You just need to do your duty and do what a lady of a noble family should do!"

However, Lin Ruoyun did not give up. She bit her lip and mustered up the courage to continue, "Father, what if all this was instigated by the Crown Prince?"

Master Lin's half-closed eyes suddenly opened. He turned around, staring at Lin Ruoyun with a sharp gaze, and asked in surprise, "Crown Prince? How are you related to the Crown Prince? How did you get to know His Royal Highness?"

Lin Ruoyun lowered her head slightly, her slender white fingers restlessly twisting the corner of her clothes, and she replied in a voice as thin as a mosquito: "Father, the thing is, I met the prince by chance. At that time, he did not reveal his identity to me directly, but when we were having a good chat, he vaguely and indirectly revealed some relevant information..." Halfway through her words, she timidly raised her head and glanced at her father, only to see that her father had a slightly frown on his face, as if he was concentrating on thinking.

Lin Ruoyun's heart tightened. As smart as she was, she seemed to have instantly understood her father's concerns, so she hurriedly continued, "Father, there is actually no need for you to personally come forward and take the trouble to deal with this matter..." As she spoke, she moved lightly forward, approached Master Lin, put her red lips close to his ear, and whispered softly in a low voice.

Master Lin was stunned at first, then a thoughtful look appeared on his face. After a moment of silence, he slowly said, "Well, you can leave first. I will consider this matter again."

When Lin Ruoyun heard this, she understood that her father had already made some plans. She immediately smiled and replied in a sweet voice, "Then I'll take my leave first. I hope father takes good care of himself and has a good rest." After that, she bowed, turned around and left the study with brisk steps.

After Lin Ruoyun's figure disappeared from his sight, he leaned back in his chair, closed his eyes, and began to think carefully about what his daughter had just said.

On the other hand, Lin Ruoyun returned to her boudoir in an extremely happy mood, happily preparing to have a good rest.
