Traveling through another world to stir the emperor's heart

After the court session, Jun Lingyuan, dressed in a dragon robe, looked cold and majestic, and hurried towards Feng Qingyue's bedroom.

Just as she passed through a corridor, she was stopped by Lin Xier. Lin Xier was dressed in pink today, looking charming and charming. The moment she saw Jun Lingyuan, her eyes were full of surprise. In her mind, Jun Lingyuan had previously lived in the general's mansion with Feng Qingyue and was unaware of the emperor's disappearance. She walked forward with joy, bowed, and said with a shy smile on her face, "Your Majesty, you are finally back. Xier has lived in this palace for a long time. Your Majesty, have you told your father when you will marry Xier?"

When Jun Lingyuan heard this, he paused, as if he had heard something extremely absurd. He looked at Lin Xier with a cold gaze, as if he was looking at an alien. Lin Xier was panicked by his gaze and involuntarily took a small step back.

Jun Lingyuan turned his head and ordered the eunuch beside him: "Go and tell her to pack up and return to the Prime Minister's Mansion." The eunuch accepted the order and bowed slightly to Lin Xier.

Lin Xier was stunned for a moment, her eyes wide open, looking at Jun Lingyuan in disbelief, and asked in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty, this... why is this happening? What did Xier do wrong?" Tears were already welling up in her eyes.

Jun Lingyuan snorted coldly and said, "Go back and ask your good brother what your father did in the court today." After that, he didn't look at Lin Xier again, walked around her and continued to walk towards Feng Qingyue's bedroom.

Lin Xier stood there, tears welling up in her eyes. She couldn't understand why the emperor, who had been fine before, had suddenly become a different person. She bit her lip, her heart filled with grievance and confusion, but she didn't dare disobey Jun Lingyuan's orders. She could only walk towards her residence in a state of despair.

Jun Lingyuan arrived at Feng Qingyue's bedroom, took a deep breath, and his stern expression softened slightly. He gently pushed the door open and walked in. A faint fragrance filled the bedroom. Feng Qingyue was sitting by the window reading a book. Seeing Jun Lingyuan come in, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes. She put down her book and stood to greet him.

Feng Qingyue asked softly, "Your Majesty, did everything go smoothly at court today?"

Jun Lingyuan walked over to Feng Qingyue and sat down next to her, briefly telling her what had happened in the court.

Feng Qingyue frowned slightly after hearing this, then shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, Prime Minister Lin would be considered a treacherous minister in ancient history books. Such people would resort to any means necessary to achieve their goals, forming cliques for personal gain and even attempting to control the government. However, throughout history, such people often have long lives, so this situation is quite normal."

Jun Lingyuan found her serious expression somewhat amusing. He reached out and pinched Feng Qingyue's nose, saying, "My beloved, what you said is quite amusing, but I will not allow him to continue to be so arrogant."

Feng Qingyue raised her head slightly, looking at Jun Lingyuan with bright eyes, and boasted, "Of course! Our Majesty is a wise and enlightened ruler, but Prime Minister Lin has many followers, so Your Majesty needs to proceed with caution."

Jun Lingyuan looked at her with relief and said, "Don't worry, my beloved concubine. I have a plan in mind. Today in the court, he so blatantly tried to frame the general. I will not forgive him easily."

Lin Xier returned to her bedroom in a state of despair. Seeing her like this, her personal maid hurried over and asked anxiously, "Miss, what's wrong? Why are you crying like this?"

Lin Xier threw herself into the maid's arms and burst into tears: "The emperor...he wants me to go back to the Prime Minister's Mansion. I don't know what I did wrong."

The maidservant patted her back and comforted her: "Miss, please don't be sad for now. Did you have any misunderstanding with the emperor?"

Lin Xier sobbed and shook her head: "I don't know either. The emperor just told me to go back and ask my brother what Dad did in the court today."

The maidservant's heart trembled: "Miss, could it be that the Prime Minister offended the Emperor in the court?"

Lin Xier bit her lip and said, "I don't know either, but how could Daddy offend the Emperor?"

The maid frowned and thought for a moment, then her eyes suddenly lit up: "Miss, we don't know what happened right now. Why don't we go and ask to see the Queen Mother? The Queen Mother has always loved you, and maybe she can give you some advice."

A glimmer of hope flashed in Lin Xier's eyes. She wiped her tears and said, "Yes, let's go see Auntie."

So, Lin Xier and her maid hurriedly tidied up their appearance and went to the Queen Mother's bedroom. When they arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom, Lin Xier respectfully asked for an audience.

When the Queen Mother heard that it was Lin Xier who came, she let them in. Seeing that Lin Xier's eyes were red, as if she had just cried, the Queen Mother frowned and asked with concern: "Xier, what's wrong? Why are you crying like this?"

Lin Xier bowed deeply and choked up as she told him what had happened, including the emperor's request that she return to the Prime Minister's residence and inquire about the Prime Minister's affairs in the court.

Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother understood that this situation was unfavorable for Prime Minister Lin. However, she also considered that Jun Lingyuan currently had no solid evidence against the Prime Minister and assumed he would not do anything to him. However, she remained calm and sighed softly, saying, "Xi'er, your father did go too far in the court today. He teamed up with several ministers and tried to put pressure on the Emperor by falsely accusing the general. This is framing a colleague, a serious offense for the Emperor."

Lin Xier's eyes widened, and she said in disbelief, "Aunt, why would Daddy be like this? He must have some hardship."

The Queen Mother shook her head. "Xi'er, the affairs of the court are complex and ever-changing. Your father has been in officialdom for many years, so it's inevitable that he has some concerns. But this time he chose the wrong approach. The Emperor has already imprisoned him and is awaiting his fate. You can no longer stay in the palace."

Lin Xier was panicking: "Aunt, what should I do? Will something happen to my father? You must help Xier."

The Queen Mother looked at Lin Xier, a barely perceptible coldness flashing in her eyes as she said, "Xier, you should return to the Prime Minister's Residence first. Your aunt will find a way to deal with your father's affairs. The disputes in the court are not something a little girl like you can get involved in."

Lin Xier knew she had no way of staying in the palace, so she could only thank the Queen Mother and slowly leave the palace with her maid. She was worried about her father, but she also felt resentful. Why would he do such a thing in the court, putting herself in such an embarrassing situation? At the same time, she also felt a hint of resentment towards Jun Lingyuan. No matter what her father had done, how could he treat her like this?

The Queen Mother looked at Lin Xier's departing back. Although she felt a little worried, she also felt that Jun Lingyuan did not have sufficient evidence and should not pose too much of a threat to the Prime Minister.
