The weak prince's queen

"Princess, we have arrived at the Lin Mansion." Mo Feng reported outside the carriage.

"Yeah." Chu Xiyue replied, and then she got off the carriage with Dong'er's support.

Just now, Mr. Lin and Mrs. Lin had already discussed it.

"Master, Xue'er will be back soon. What will you do?" Mrs. Lin looked at Master Lin with a sad face and asked worriedly.

"I will continue to lie in bed pretending to be sick. You go and bring her over. As for what the Queen instructed, I will tell her in detail." Mr. Lin frowned and said to Mrs. Lin in a low voice.

"What if she doesn't agree?" Mrs. Lin asked worriedly.

"That's not her call, unless her last name is not Lin!" Master Lin widened his eyes, slapped the edge of the bed hard, and answered firmly.

"Okay, I'll do it right away." Mrs. Lin nodded, turned and left the room.

At this time, Madam Lin had been waiting in the main hall for a long time, feeling extremely anxious. When she heard the servant come to report, she immediately stood up and walked to the door to greet him impatiently.

"Xue'er, you are finally back. The master has been waiting for you for a long time." Mrs. Lin couldn't help shedding tears when she saw Chu Xiyue. She walked forward while sobbing.

"Stop, let's talk about it." Chu Xiyue looked at the woman in front of her with indifference, but she was thinking in her heart, what is going on?

Seeing that Chu Xiyue was not buying it, Mrs. Lin quickly wiped away her tears and said with a fake smile, "Xue'er, your father is very ill and has been lying in bed. He wants to talk to you. You should go and see him." After saying that, she sighed in a pretentious manner.

Chu Xiyue frowned, wondering what Madam Lin was up to. Was she really just asking her to go see her father? She decided to go see what was going on first. So, she followed Madam Lin to Master Lin's room.

"Commander Mo, our master wants to have a private conversation with the princess. Please wait outside." Mrs. Lin said.

"This..." Mo Feng hesitated. He knew that he could not disobey the prince's order, but he did not want the princess to be harmed.

"Don't worry, Commander Mo, the princess is going to see her father, not anywhere else." Mrs. Lin said with a smile.

"Okay then." Mo Feng agreed reluctantly. He watched the princess walk into the room, still feeling a little worried.

Seeing that Mo Feng and Dong'er were stopped outside the door, Chu Xiyue immediately became alert and walked into the room cautiously.

"Is it Xue'er?" Master Lin said pretending to be weak.

Chu Xiyue followed the sound and saw Master Lin lying on the bed. He looked very weak, his face pale, his lips chapped, and his eyes closed. She couldn't help but frown, wondering what was wrong with this man? Was he really sick? Although she didn't have a good impression of Master Lin, he was Lin Ruoxue's biological father after all, so she couldn't help but ask, "Father, what's wrong with you?"

"Xue'er, you're finally back." Master Lin said hypocritically while wiping his tears.

"Hmm." Chu Xiyue asked with a puzzled look.

Master Lin asked, "So how is your relationship with Prince Jin now?"

"It's okay." Chu Xiyue couldn't help blushing when she thought of Xiao Yichen taking good care of her last night.

Mr. Lin keenly caught this detail and was secretly delighted: "It seems that the relationship between them is better than I imagined."

"If that's the case, then father is relieved." Master Lin said, "However, you should also pay more attention to Prince Jin. If you can gain his favor, our Lin family will be saved."

"Save?" Chu Xiyue couldn't help but frown after hearing what Master Lin said. She looked at him suspiciously and asked in a slightly indifferent tone, "Why save?"

Seeing Chu Xiyue's reaction, Master Lin sighed helplessly and explained, "Alas, you don't know. The Queen is very dissatisfied with you and believes that you have not fulfilled your responsibilities as a princess. If you cannot win the favor of Prince Jin, my Lin family will be implicated."

Chu Xiyue couldn't help but feel unhappy after hearing what Master Lin said, but she suppressed her inner dissatisfaction and anger and asked calmly, "So?"

Master Lin sensed Chu Xiyue's change of mood and continued cautiously, "So, Father hopes you can do us a favor. Can you tell Father about Prince Jin's situation? For example, has he encountered any trouble recently? Or where has he been? This information is very important to our Lin family."

Chu Xiyue sorted out her thoughts and understood Master Lin's intention. She immediately said angrily: "Okay! After talking for so long, you just want me to be a spy! Let me tell you everything about Prince Jin, right? Humph!" She suddenly remembered that the Queen Mother had made a similar request before, and suddenly felt that all this was just taking advantage of Lin Ruoxue.

"No, Xue'er, you have to understand that your surname is also Lin. You are always a member of the Lin family and you should do something for the Lin family." Master Lin said to Chu Xiyue earnestly, trying to persuade her to accept his arrangement.

However, Chu Xiyue shook her head and replied firmly: "No, father, you can't treat me like this."

"Oh, why are you so stubborn? Don't you know this is for your own good?" Mr. Lin frowned, with a hint of dissatisfaction in his tone.

Chu Xiyue's heart sank, and a trace of helplessness and anger flashed in her eyes. She took a deep breath and decided not to remain silent any longer.

"Father, I have married into the prince's mansion and become his concubine. Now you want me to be a spy. How can this be considered a good thing?" Chu Xiyue questioned, her voice full of grievance and disappointment.

"I know you don't want to, but don't forget that you are a member of the Lin family and it is your responsibility to contribute to the family." Master Lin's face darkened and he spoke in a serious tone.

"But father, have you ever considered my feelings? It was already too much for you to marry me to that sickly prince, and now you want me to be a spy. Have you really not thought about the consequences? What should I do if I am discovered in the prince's mansion?" Chu Xiyue looked at Master Lin viciously.

Mr. Lin was unmoved and said coldly: "It is your honor to be born into the Lin family and sacrifice for the Lin family."

Chu Xiyue's eyes widened, her whole body shaking with anger. She stood up abruptly, glaring at Master Lin and shouting, "Humph... Bah... Go to your Lin family, goodbye! Don't come to the palace to see me unless you have something to do." With that, she turned and left, leaving Master Lin in shock.

Chu Xiyue hurried out of the room, feeling incredibly heavy-hearted. She hadn't expected Lin Ruoxue's biological father to be so heartless, completely disregarding her safety. At this moment, she simply wanted to return to the Prince's Mansion as quickly as possible, away from all this turmoil.

"Princess, what is this?" Mo Feng asked curiously when he saw Chu Xiyue walking out angrily.

Chu Xiyue gritted her teeth and said, "Let's go back to the palace." Then she walked forward without looking back.

Mo Feng hurried to catch up with Chu Xiyue, secretly pondering what had just happened. It seemed that there was some conflict between the princess and Master Lin. As he thought about it, he followed Chu Xiyue carefully, fearing that he would trigger her anger.
