After returning to the capital to farm, the abandoned concubine made a comeback.

Lin Qin and Zhu Ling arrived at the Empress's palace. The Empress was as gentle as ever, seemingly unaware of everything.

"Your Highness, Your Highness, it's so late, what brings you here?" The Empress put down her teacup, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Lin Qin with a half-smile.

“Your Majesty, let’s not beat around the bush,” Lin Qin said bluntly. “I don’t need to tell you who you’ve been in contact with lately, do I?”

The Empress's expression changed slightly, but she quickly regained her composure. "What does the Princess Consort mean by that? I don't understand."

"Don't understand?" Lin Qin sneered. "Then I'll teach Your Highness to 'understand'."

No sooner had she finished speaking than a commotion erupted outside the palace, followed by a group of guards rushing in and surrounding the empress.

"Your Majesty, you are suspected of colluding with rebels and plotting a rebellion. Please come with us!"

The Empress's face changed drastically. Pointing at Lin Qin, she said in a trembling voice, "It was you! You framed me!"

Lin Qin shrugged. "Framed? Your Majesty, the evidence is conclusive. You'd better plead guilty."

After the empress was taken away, the palace was in an uproar, with all sorts of rumors flying around.

At the same time, Lin Qin's business was also attacked by a mysterious force. Her shop was smashed, her goods were stolen, and she suffered heavy losses.

Lin Qin stood in front of the shop, which had been smashed to pieces, her face terribly gloomy.

"Your Highness, it seems they're serious about playing me."

Zhu Ling held her hand, his eyes firm. "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Lin Qin took a deep breath, her eyes gradually sharpening. "Since they want to play, then we'll play along to the very end!"

That night, Lin Qin's room was brightly lit.

She sat at the table, looking at the task prompts given by the system, a cold smile curling at the corner of her lips.

"The game has only just begun." Lin Qin closed the system interface, got up and walked to the window, gazing at the dark night sky, muttering to herself, "Just you wait and see, I'll make you pay the price..."

Following the prompts from the mini-system, Lin Qin secretly investigated the Empress's movements and discovered that the Empress had close ties with a mysterious organization outside the palace.

This organization is the mastermind behind the constant harassment of Lin Qin's business and even the attempt to kidnap her son.

Lin Qin organized the evidence and presented it to the emperor.

The emperor was furious and ordered a thorough investigation into the matter.

The investigation revealed shocking evidence that the Queen had colluded with rebels and plotted a rebellion.

The emperor was heartbroken and ordered the empress to be banished to the cold palace, never to rise again.

The news caused an uproar throughout the court. Everyone admired Lin Qin's wisdom and courage, and the palace was filled with a joyful atmosphere.

With the crisis resolved, Lin Qin's business returned to normal, even more prosperous than before.

She integrated modern business concepts into ancient commerce, creating a new business model that made her incredibly wealthy.

The little system was overjoyed and kept giving Lin Qin new tasks to help her reach the pinnacle of her life.

At the celebration banquet, Zhu Ling embraced Lin Qin tightly, his eyes filled with burning love.

"Qin'er, you are truly my lucky star." His voice was deep and magnetic, with a slight, almost imperceptible tremor.

Lin Qin's cheeks flushed red as she sensed Zhu Ling's deep affection, and the atmosphere around them became ambiguous and passionate.

She leaned gently against Zhu Ling's chest, feeling his heartbeat, and a happy smile unconsciously appeared on her lips.

Suddenly, Lin Qin felt dizzy, her vision went black, and she collapsed to the ground.

"Qin'er!" Zhu Ling exclaimed in alarm, quickly picking up Lin Qin and his face changed drastically. "Quickly, summon the imperial physician!" He held Lin Qin tightly, feeling her gradually cooling body, and a nameless fear welled up in his heart...

"Qin'er, wake up, don't scare me..."

Lin Qin was awakened by Zhu Ling's exclamation.

She felt like she had a very long dream, in which she spun around like a top, and when she woke up, her whole body felt weak and limp.

She opened her eyes and saw Zhu Ling's handsome face, which was filled with worry.

"What's wrong with me?" Lin Qin's voice was a little hoarse and weak.

Zhu Ling quickly helped her sit up, her voice full of concern: "You suddenly fainted, it scared me to death."

Lin Qin looked around and realized that she had returned to her palace. She immediately understood seven or eight parts of the situation.

She looked at Zhu Ling, a slight smile playing on her lips. "I'm fine, just too tired."

Indeed, during this period she was like a wound-up machine, never daring to relax for a moment.

Having to outwit and outmaneuver the Empress while also managing the business, even the strongest person couldn't handle it!

Now that the crisis is over, she feels a huge sense of relief and just wants to get a good night's sleep.

Although the crisis had come to an end, Lin Qin felt a faint sense of weariness.

She recalled when she first transmigrated, she was demoted to a concubine and lived in a dilapidated farm, struggling every day just to have enough to eat.

Now look at her, she has not only established herself in the palace, but her business is also thriving. She is simply a role model of a successful comeback.

However, Lin Qin did not become arrogant because of this.

She knows that she is able to get to where she is today not only because of her own efforts, but also because of Zhu Ling's support and help.

And that cute little system, although it can be a pain at times, it's actually quite useful in crucial moments.

Thinking of this, Lin Qin's mood improved again.

She turned to look out the window. The night had faded, and the faint light of dawn shone on the window frame, carrying a touch of warmth.

After the crisis was resolved, Lin Qin did not exterminate the Empress's supporters.

She gathered those who had been deceived, reasoned with them, and appealed to their emotions, giving them a chance to reform.

This action took everyone by surprise. The people in the palace were shocked by Lin Qin's magnanimity and expressed their admiration.

Now, Lin Qin's position in the palace is even more secure.

No one expected that a demoted concubine could end up like this.

Just when Lin Qin thought everything was settled, a maid rushed in, looking flustered, as if she had encountered something terrible.

"Your Highness, something terrible has happened! Young Master Sima..." The maid gasped for breath, her face pale.

"What's wrong with Young Master Sima?" Lin Qin asked hurriedly, her heart tightening.

The maid clutched her chest, trembling as she said, "He...he...he suddenly said he...he's fallen in love with you, and he said he...he wants to marry you!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Qin was stunned. She looked at the maid and then at Zhu Ling.

Zhu Ling's face darkened instantly, and the temperature in the room seemed to drop several degrees.

"Is this guy out of his mind?" Zhu Ling said through gritted teeth, her eyes filled with danger.

Lin Qin couldn't help but rub her forehead. She had a feeling that even bigger trouble was about to begin.

Lin Qin's mouth was practically stretched to the sky as she looked at the mountain of gold and silver jewelry in front of her. She felt like she was the ultimate winner in life!

The emperor waved his hand and bestowed not only gold and silver but also various privileges upon her, treating her like a national treasure.

Lin Qin stood in the center of the palace, receiving the homage of civil and military officials. The feeling was simply amazing!

The little voice inside her was already laughing hysterically, hands on hips, "I am the queen, my confidence shines!"

However, after the initial excitement subsided, Lin Qin calmed down. Although the crisis was temporarily averted, she still felt that something was about to happen, like the calm before the storm, which made her uneasy.

It feels like after completing a game, the system prompts: "High energy ahead, please take precautions."

She looked up at the sky and silently sighed to herself, "Life is more exciting than a TV series, with one wave after another!"

Just as she was preparing to go back and get a good night's sleep to recharge for the challenges ahead.

An old eunuch ran incredibly fast, almost knocking his dentures out, and came panting as he reached Lin Qin, shouting in a shrill voice, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"

Lin Qin's heart skipped a beat, and she thought, "No way?"

How many days has it been quiet?

Are they about to stir things up again?

She steadied herself and said to the old eunuch, "Don't panic, speak slowly. If the sky falls, the tall ones will hold it up. No, right now I'm the tallest one. So, what's wrong?"

The old eunuch swallowed hard and said, "His Majesty...he bestowed upon you...you were granted the title of..." He stammered "you" for a long time, but couldn't get the gist of it.

Lin Qin frowned impatiently. "What are you banning me for? Stop beating around the bush and just say it!"

The old eunuch finally managed to utter a sentence, "His Majesty has appointed you as... as 'Imperial Farming Official'!"

Lin Qin was stunned when she heard this. What the hell was this?

Imperial farmhand?

Is she to grow vegetables for the emperor?

This emperor has a truly unique way of thinking!

Zhu Ling, standing to the side, couldn't help but twitch his lips. He stepped forward, patted Lin Qin on the shoulder, and gave her a "good luck" look.

Lin Qin felt utterly overwhelmed. Looking at Zhu Ling, she was on the verge of tears. "Tell me, is this old emperor playing a trick on me? I finally managed to turn the tables, and he's making me a farming official? Is he mocking me?"

“Perhaps…perhaps he thinks you’re very good at farming?” Zhu Ling stroked his chin and analyzed seriously.

Lin Qin rolled her eyes, too lazy to pay him any attention.

Just then, the voice of the mini-system suddenly rang in her mind: "Ding! System notification: A new crisis has been detected. Please prepare yourself!"

Lin Qin's smile froze on her face. She looked at Zhu Ling, who was filled with worry, and slowly said, "It seems that the palace is about to be in turmoil again..."
