The strange female partner in Quick Wear is too sexy

Chapter 387: Seizing the Minister’s Wife 39

After Lin Mingyue was thrown into prison, the first person to become restless was not the empress dowager, but the forces she had secretly cultivated.

The Queen Mother was in the palace and didn't learn the news so quickly.

After learning the news, the leaders of several major forces gathered together and began to discuss how to rescue Lin Mingyue.

The night was dark, and the moonlight sprinkled in the quiet courtyard, adding a bit of mystery to this quiet night. In a secret room, the leaders of several major forces sat around a table, their faces solemn and the atmosphere tense.

"The princess is imprisoned, what should we do?" A leader broke the silence first, his voice low and full of anxiety.

"The princess is our common pillar. If she falls, our power will be greatly affected. This is what happened when the eldest princess died. We must not let anything happen to the princess this time!" another person added, his eyes flashing with determination.

"We can't just sit there and do nothing. We must find a way to rescue the princess." An older leader said in a deep voice, his words revealing an unquestionable majesty.

Everyone nodded and began to discuss the rescue plan. However, Lin Mingyue was imprisoned in the imperial palace prison, which was heavily guarded, so it was not easy to rescue her.

"We can start from the inside and bribe the jailer to give the princess a chance to escape." A leader suggested.

"This method is too risky. If it is discovered, all of us will be implicated." Another person immediately retorted.

"Then why don't we attack the palace directly? The princess has her own private soldiers anyway. Rescue the princess and kill that damn emperor!" someone else suggested.

"Attack the palace? Isn't that a rebellion? Besides, we are not ready yet. Doing so will only lead to our own destruction." The older leader flatly rejected the proposal.

Everyone fell into deep thought, and for a moment they could not think of a better solution. At this moment, a young voice broke the silence: "Perhaps, we can start with the Queen Mother."

Hearing this, everyone looked at the person who spoke. He was a young leader named Chang Ping, a leader among the new forces secretly cultivated by Lin Mingyue.

Chang Ping continued, "The Queen Mother dotes on the Princess. If we can convince her to intervene, the Princess may have a chance to escape."

Everyone's eyes lit up and they thought this was a feasible solution. The Queen Mother held an extremely important position in the palace and her words had an influence on the Emperor that could not be ignored. If the Queen Mother could come forward to plead for Lin Mingyue, then Lin Mingyue's situation might improve.

"But will the Queen Mother help us?" someone asked.

The Queen Mother had no idea of ​​the Princess's ambitions, and she had cultivated so many forces.

Chang Ping smiled slightly and said, "The Queen Mother probably doesn't know about the Princess' imprisonment yet. We can secretly send someone to inform the Queen Mother of this matter and emphasize the Princess' filial piety to the Queen Mother and her loyalty to the royal family. The Queen Mother loves the Princess and will intervene once she learns of this."

Everyone nodded, thinking that this plan was feasible.

So they decided to take immediate action and sent someone to the palace to report the matter.

In the complex corridors of the palace, the people in the Princess's Mansion walked hurriedly. She knew the urgency of this mission.

After passing through layers of palace gates, she finally arrived at the Queen Mother's bedroom.

The palace gate was closed, and she knocked on the doorknob gently without having time to catch her breath.

After a while, a palace maid opened the door and came out. Seeing that it was her, she asked, "What's the matter?"

She quickly produced the token and whispered, "It's urgent. I need to see the Queen Mother."

Seeing that it was a token from the Princess's Mansion, the palace maid did not dare to neglect her and immediately took her to see the Queen Mother. The Queen Mother was taking a nap on the couch, and when she heard that someone from the Princess's Mansion was coming, she immediately opened her eyes.

"Mingyue, what brings you to me?" asked the Queen Mother, with a hint of concern in her voice.

The people in the Princess's Mansion told the Queen Mother everything about Lin Mingyue's imprisonment, and emphasized Lin Mingyue's filial piety to the Queen Mother and his loyalty to the royal family.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother's face changed suddenly. She had never imagined that her beloved granddaughter would be imprisoned by the Emperor.

"Is this true?" the Queen Mother asked.

"It is absolutely true. The princess is suffering in the palace prison right now." The person from the princess's mansion replied.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother was filled with anger. She stood up and said to the palace maid, "Prepare the sedan chair. I want to go see the Emperor."

The palace maid did not dare to delay and went to prepare immediately.

After a while, the empress dowager went to the emperor's bedroom in a sedan chair.

"Mother, what important matter has brought you here so late at night?" Xie Lan asked.

Xie Lan asked this question even though he knew the answer. He certainly knew the reason why the empress dowager came to his bedroom so late at night. It was because of Lin Mingyue.

"I heard that Mingyue was imprisoned. Is this true?" The Queen Mother asked in a questioning tone. Her eyes were fixed on Xie Lan, trying to see some clues from his expression.

Xie Lan nodded slightly and replied calmly, "Yes, mother. Lin Mingyue has committed a serious crime and has been imprisoned by my order."

After hearing this, the Queen Mother's face darkened and she said angrily, "A serious crime? What serious crime could she have committed? Your Majesty, are you being too harsh?"

Xie Lan smiled faintly and explained, "Mother, Mingyue and her horse kidnapped my queen and tortured her. Do you think I should lock her up?"

After hearing this, the Queen Mother was silent for a moment, then slowly said: "I know that you value Sheng Rao, but she has a reason to do this. After all, Sheng Rao is not worthy of being the Queen, and Ming Yue is my granddaughter after all. She is still young and inevitably a little impulsive. Can't you give her a lighter sentence for her loyalty to the royal family?"

Loyal to the royal family? Ha, Xie Lan sneered in her heart, maybe Lin Mingyue has already started thinking about rebellion.

"Mother, I know you love Lin Mingyue, but the country has its laws and the family has its rules. As a princess, she should know the law and abide by it instead of acting recklessly. As for the queen, she is my queen. I will handle it myself and there is no need for others to interfere." Although Xie Lan's voice was calm, there was an unquestionable majesty in her tone.

"Are you really going to disobey me for that woman? Now you're even arresting your own niece?"

The Queen Mother was extremely angry. As soon as she finished speaking, the atmosphere in the bedroom suddenly became tense.

There was a flash of determination in Xie Lan's eyes. He knew very well that his decision had touched the bottom line of the Queen Mother, but he knew even more clearly that in order to maintain the stability of the royal family and the order of the court, he must deal with Lin Mingyue and must not let her go!

"Mother, the crime committed by Lin Mingyue not only concerns her personal honor and disgrace, but also the reputation of the royal family and the stability of the court. I cannot sacrifice public interests for personal gain, and I cannot ignore the safety of the court for my own selfish reasons." Although Xie Lan's words were calm, they revealed an unquestionable firmness.

"Isn't it just that Sheng Rao was kidnapped? Isn't that woman fine? How can you be so cold-hearted!"

The Queen Mother was furious and began to blame Xie Lan, blaming him more for disregarding family affection.
