Chapter 539 First Taste of Power

When yin yue returned to Shou' an Palace, Retired Emperor and Wanyan Lin were talking.

Yinn Yue waited in the side hall, wondering when Wanyan Lin woke up.

However, knowing Wanyan Lin's taboo, Yinn Yue did not ask Wanyan Lin when he woke up, but asked a few questions about Wanyan Lin's physical condition to show a little peace of mind. He also wanted to take care of Retired Emperor's physical condition.

At the end of her ugly days, Wanyan Lin came out of Retired Emperor's room, but this time he was carried out by his shoulder and looked tired, and could faint again at any time.

Yinn Yue hurriedly went up to greet him. Wanyan Lin just waved his hand and said, "The father has rested. The queen will reply after daybreak."

"Yes." Yinn Yue nodded.

Seeing that Yinn Yue had finished obeying his purpose, Wanyan Lin only felt a surge of irritation in his heart. Thinking about what Retired Emperor had just said to him, he endured the annoyance in his heart and said as calmly as possible: "I have to take care of my health for a while, and Retired Emperor is not in good spirits. The empress will have to worry a lot about the affairs of the harem. The empress can also take care of some things in the previous dynasties. All she has to do is report the important matters to Retired Emperor."

"The harem is not allowed to do politics, and the concubines dare not forget their ancestral teachings." Hearing this, Yinn Yue hurriedly knelt down and expressed his attitude in fear.

"This is what my father wants. I believe you can do it." Wanyan Lin raised his hand and gave him a weak hand, "The crown prince is a reserve monarch. Although he is still too young to handle the government, he can also learn a thing or two together. As the birth mother of the crown prince, you should know very well what to teach him."

"Concubine..." Yinn Yue tried to refuse, but was interrupted by a gesture from Wanyan Lin.

"I am tired. Does the empress want to disobey the decree?" After a night of anger, Wanyan Lin had run out of patience and his voice became cold.

"I will do my best to help Retired Emperor and the emperor." Yinn Yue quickly bowed his head and agreed, but this time there was no more prevarication.

Wanyan Lin took a deep look at Yinn Yue and realized that he did not seem to know the first wife well enough, at least not as well as his father.

But even though Yinn Yue was different, he didn't have the heart to look at anything. Life is so strange. Some people have never changed, but they have to find their differences at a certain time. Now Wanyan Lin had no choice but to trust Retired Emperor's ability to know people.

After Wanyan Lin left, Yinn Yue told the servant in Shou' an Palace, "When Retired Emperor wakes up, he must inform the palace and serve Retired Emperor well. If the palace finds someone slack off, it will not be easy."

Yinn Yue's attitude did not change, but the eunuchs who heard Wanyan Lin's holy will were afraid.

Now, Yinn Yue was not only the queen of a country, but also the regent. Such a queen could take their heads and even the lives of their families outside the palace with one word.

Salute in the direction of Retired Emperor's bedroom. Yinn Yue then took his men back to the palace. Even if Retired Emperor could not see it, he still had the courtesy. This was one of the reasons why Yinn Yue had been able to stand firm in the harem for so many years.

In fact, Retired Emperor did not rest. While Wanyan Lin was talking to Yinn Yue, he already knew what Yinn Yue had done before. Yinn Yue's arrangement did not make any mistakes, and he was more convinced that his decision was right. If the Hengyuan were to be handed over to his son, it would only become history.

"Lin' er, don't blame your father, emperor Wuqing. Since you can't defend this country, let the capable live there." Retired Emperor closed his eyes wearily. He knew that he had reached his limit. Even if he was not willing to be afraid, he could not hold on for long. What he could do was very limited.

When Yinn Yue returned to the palace, he collapsed on the couch like he had been drained of his strength. Nanny Zhaang and Caiping both came forward worriedly, but Yinn Yue stopped them from summoning the imperial physician.

"It's all right. This palace just feels a little tired. Now there is only one person in this palace who can take charge of the overall situation except the crown prince. At this time, there must be no news that this palace is not feeling well, or else those crafty people will take advantage of it." Yinn Yue said wearily.

"Mother, it's been hard. The old slave went to pour her a cup of ginseng tea to calm her down." Nanny Zhaang's eyes turned red, and he turned around in pain.

Caiping sat on the footstool and sat on top of Yinn Yue, rubbing his calf. After a long time, he asked in disbelief, "Mother, did the emperor say something to let her take charge in Shou' an Palace?"

"Yes." Yinn Yue replied.

"Is that lady a regent..."

"Shut up," Yinn Yue said in a low voice, "This palace is just an assistant manager. Caiping, you will give orders after dawn. If anyone dares to act like a tiger in the phoenix palace, they will be punished according to the rules of the palace and will not be merciful."

Caiping shrank, immediately understood the meaning of Yinn Yue's words, and quickly apologized on his knees: "It was a slip of the tongue, please punish the empress."

"Since you are the first offender, I will only pretend that I did not hear you. You are the accompanying female official who enters the palace with me. You should know very well what the royal family is most afraid of. If you do it again in the future, don't blame me for not caring." Yinn Yue's voice was slightly cold.

"It was the servant who was momentarily happy and confused. The servant should be strict with himself in the future. He would also take good care of all the people in Phoenix Palace and definitely not let those tongue-tied people harm his mother." Caiping repeatedly promised.

"Get up." Yinn Yue said helplessly: "This palace knows that you are wholeheartedly doing good for this palace, and that you are happy for this palace. But power is a double-edged sword. If you use it well, you can hurt the enemy but not yourself. The more powerful you are, the more you have to pay attention to your own words and actions. Don't let others take advantage of your mistakes and bring trouble to you. You can be a great person in the future. How can you forget yourself for a moment of pride?"

"I've noted it down, thank you for your advice," Caiping said gratefully.

Not to mention the taste of power on Yinn Yue's side for the first time, Su Mianyue and his party would let the locals know what Wanyan Lin had done wherever they went.

This made the officials who escorted Empress Dowager and the Imperial Guard lose face. The people felt that they could not raise their heads. Empress Dowager was even more angry that he could not even eat at the beginning.

However, Empress Dowager would not have kindly prepared a snack for Su Mianyue if she had lost her temper. After two days of starvation, she could only pretend that she could not hear the laughter and abuse, lest she starved to death and could no longer enjoy Empress Dowager's honor.

Along the way, Su Mianyue and Ji Xun were surprised to see that there was no crisis at the border.

It was already rare for Wanyan Lin to hold back his anger and not do anything, but he did not expect the people behind the abduction of Biwu and the others to do nothing either. Was it because they were too preoccupied with their own problems, or because they had ulterior motives?

In any case, it would be best if they were safe. Su Mianyue only struggled for a moment and then let go of the problem. Instead, he focused on the war between the two countries.

The closer they got to the border, the more refugees they encountered, and the more homeless the people were because of the war. This was not what Su Mianyue wanted to see.

But compared to the Yan Country's displaced people, she would rather suffer from the people of the Hengyuan, which is the selfish nature of human nature.

Those who had tried hard to protect were now bullied by their own people and could only sigh at the manipulation of fate.

"Yu, how long will this war last? Do you want to annex the Hengyuan?" While resting, Su Mianyue looked at the people not far away with their bags on their backs and their faces turning yellow and asked reluctantly.

"As long as the Hengyuan stops, the army of the Hengyuan will withdraw." Ji Xun didn't want to start a war, but he didn't want to sit back and wait. It all depended on the attitude of the Hengyuan.
