Chapter 324 The Person Who Could Not Bear to Hurt Her

Inside the Hengyuan palace, Xuezhu was sitting at the bottom of Yinn Yue's seat. There were no servants in the palace. It was obvious that the two of them had something private to talk about.

Raising his head, he glanced at Yinn Yue, who had a bulging abdomen. A hint of sadness flashed in Xuezhu's eyes, and then a calm expression appeared, as if he had been completely relieved of the pain of losing his son. Yinn Yue, on the other hand, was pale and did not see the ruddy complexion of a pregnant person.

"There are so many sisters in the palace, and now two of them are pregnant. Does the empress not want to do anything?" The words sister were especially bitten by Xuezhu, and her face was also grim.

"Those are the emperor's flesh and blood. Concubine Xue had better not be bothered by them. Otherwise, don't tell me if the emperor will spare you. Retired Emperor and Empress Dowager are the first to tolerate you." Yinn Yue's face changed slightly and he opened his mouth wearily.

"What about the emperor's flesh and blood? Did I not conceive a dragon heir? The empress will not forget that you fell into the water a few days ago?" Xuezhu's mocking eyes fell on Yinn Yue and sneered, "There will be a second time one day. Does the empress think that your kindness can bring back their conscience and stop them from doing that evil thing?"

Yinn Yue subconsciously hugged his stomach, and his body shivered. His eyes were full of vigilance when he looked at xuezhu.

"If I wanted to harm the empress, I wouldn't have waited until now. Only Retired Emperor and Empress Dowager really cared about the heirs in her womb. If not, they wouldn't have taken the risk to harm you, would they?" Xuezhu's voice was clear and cold, "The empress is very considerate. As long as the empress is willing to cooperate with me, I will make those who should not exist disappear completely and give others a warning. As for why I will help the empress, I think the empress knows."

"Why?" Yinn Yue asked in a trembling voice, "Why did you help her when you wanted to kill her at the expense of your life, even if I wanted to save her?"

Xuezhu smiled bitterly and looked at Yinn Yue, "I was bewitched. Su Mianyue was the only one in the world who treated me sincerely. Even if it didn't end well, I would avenge her. I would avenge her for your help."

"The emperor is not a magnanimous person. Aren't you seeking your own death by doing so?" Yinn Yue frowned worriedly.

"Even if I don't, do you think Wanyan Lin will give me a chance to live?" Xuezhu laughed out loud, her eyes misted with water, "You've never known Wanyan Lin before, so you don't know that Wanyan Lin and I are very similar in Su Mianyue's affairs. We couldn't tolerate her, but we couldn't tolerate anyone who hurt her."

After saying this, Xuezhu got up and wanted to leave. Before she left, she looked back and said, "The empress had better not leave Phoenix Palace so easily before she makes up her mind, let alone trust anyone, including those around you."

Xuezhu's thin back hurt Yinn Yue's eyes as he watched her leave. Even if Xuezhu was not in Wanyan Lin's favor, Yinn Yue would never forget how beautiful and energetic she was when she first met xuezhu. Was she envious at that time?

But now...

Looking down at her swollen belly, Yinn Yue was in a state of struggle. Even though she had been in the palace for more than half a year, she still didn't want her hands to be stained with blood. But could she have any other choice for the child in her belly?

In the imperial study, Wanyan Lin was lying on a wooden bed in the back hall. This room was once a place where Su Mianyue had been trapped for more than a month and where they had been fighting. Now that the decorations had been changed, there was no smell of Su Mianyue, but Wanyan Lin was still used to coming and lying down every day. Talk to the empty space next to you for a while.

While the civil and military ministers in the imperial study were waiting for the holy decree, Wanyan Lin was hiding here alone.

"If you are still here, you must be discussing a plan to resist the enemy with me at this moment. With your ancient spirit, you will have a good plan to resist the enemy and will give me the greatest help, so that I have no worries at all, right?" He stroked the empty bed with his big hand, and yan lin spoke with her eyes closed, her lips curling up in a mocking arc.

Su Mianyue would never willingly return to him in this life. Wanyan Lin knew better than anyone else, but how could he give up willingly?

After a moment of silence, Wanyan Lin suddenly opened his eyes, only a fierce look in his eyes, and he quickly got up and left.

The ministers thought they would be exhausted again today, but Wanyan Lin's sudden appearance made them stand up and tidy up their appearance and salute Wanyan Lin in unison.

"All of you need not be too polite. The border war is urgent, and we urgently need your advice." Wanyan Lin sat in front of the imperial court, opened a mountain of memorials and went up to his room with a copy of the big red urgent report. He opened a random book and said, "The east ridge, the south su, and the Tianlan launched an army attack. Which side do you think is the most important?"

As the father-in-law, even if lord yin was not a military talent, he would have to stand up and speak now. "Your majesty, I thought that I could send someone to negotiate with dongling and south su. The main force of the entire army should be fighting against the Tianlan. It is difficult to guarantee that the foreign enemy will not be able to escape from the territory of the Hengyuan for a day. As long as those two people want to keep the small court, they will stop the war at this time, so that my army will have a chance to breathe."

"Lord yin says it's easy. Who should we send to negotiate? I'm afraid there will be no return. Besides, when it comes to war, not to mention that our army is not as good as the tiger and wolf division of the Tianlan, it can't be supplied with military supplies alone. Without enough food and weapons, does lord yin want those soldiers to go to war hungry and unarmed?" The person who spoke was the minister of war, and his daughter was now one of the pregnant concubines in the harem. The harem of the previous dynasty had always been involved and had to fight the Yin Family.

Ministry of Revenue shangshu also stood up and said, "The Ministry of Revenue can now raise at most 100,000 troops a month's worth of grain and grass. The successive natural disasters are not only the emptiness of the national treasury, but also those large families do not have much surplus food in their hands. The ordinary people are waiting for the court's relief."

The Ministry of Revenue's words were true, but the war was imminent and everyone was saying that there was no way to continue. Wanyan Lin wanted to lose his temper on the spot. He had some spare money all these years, but how long could he keep fighting like this?

Before the autumn harvest next year, the Hengyuan soldiers will face the situation of having no rice to put in the pot. If there is another disaster year, it will force the soldiers and civilians of hengyuan country to surrender automatically.

"The decree has been passed down that from today onwards, the palace will set an example for two meals a day, with no more than two dishes to eat, no new clothes to be distributed before the end of the war, and all the frugal spending will be used to support the front line. The ministers, merchants, and the people will also set an example for the palace, and the whole country and the communist party will fight against the national disaster."

Wanyan Lin immediately issued an oral order, ignoring the advice of the court officials, and wrote an imperial edict. He knew that there were disadvantages in doing so, but he had to do it.

Some of the officials in the imperial study supported Wanyan Lin's decision, but everyone knew that even if the imperial palace did act under the imperial decree, it would save a portion of food and silver. Besides the people who needed the help of the imperial court, how many of them could act under the imperial decree?
