The strange female partner in Quick Wear is too sexy

Chapter 388: Seizing the Minister’s Wife 40

"Mother, you should know how many wrong things Lin Mingyue has done and how many times I have let her go. But this time is different. Sheng Rao is the queen I am going to marry soon. Do you know how Lin Mingyue is going to deal with Sheng Rao?"

Thinking about it now, Xie Lan felt a little scared. If his secret guards had not discovered and informed him in time, Sheng Rao would have been...

"Lin Mingyue drugged Sheng Rao and asked her men to rape Sheng Rao. If I hadn't arrived in time, Lin Mingyue would not have died a hundred times!"

"A princess can use such vicious and dirty means to deal with an unarmed woman. If we forgive her this time, will everyone in the court follow her example next time?"

"Mother, I know you love Lin Mingyue, but as the king of a country, I must be responsible for the stability of the court and the well-being of the people. Lin Mingyue's behavior has violated the law. I cannot tolerate her just because she is your granddaughter." Xie Lan's voice became more and more firm, and his eyes were full of determination.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her expression became more solemn. She knew that her words could not change Xie Lan's decision. But she was still unwilling to give in. After all, Lin Mingyue was her granddaughter. How could she watch her suffer?

"Your Majesty, I know your difficulties, but Mingyue is my granddaughter after all. Can you..." The Queen Mother was interrupted by Xie Lan before she could finish her words.

"Mother, I know what you mean, but this time it really won't work. Lin Mingyue must be punished as he deserves to serve as a warning to others." Xie Lan's tone was unquestionable. He knew that this was for the stability of the court and the well-being of the people, and he had to stand firm.

After hearing this, the Queen Mother was silent for a long time and was deeply heartbroken.

"I only have this one granddaughter. Can't you let her go? I beg you one last time."

Her eldest princess has died, and she cannot afford to lose her granddaughter again. No matter what, she must make sure Lin Mingyue is safe.

"Your Majesty, there is no need to say more. I will not tolerate it this time!"

Xie Lan's attitude was so firm that the empress dowager almost couldn't breathe.

The Queen Mother suddenly felt dizzy and was about to fall to the side. If the palace maid beside her had not been quick to catch her, she would have fallen to the ground.

"Empress Dowager, are you okay?" the maid asked anxiously, signaling other maids to quickly call the imperial physician.

The Queen Mother waved her hands to indicate that she was fine, but her face was extremely pale, and it was obvious that she was very angry about Xie Lan's words. She took a deep breath, calmed herself down, and then looked at Xie Lan again with a hint of pleading in her tone.

"Your Majesty, I know Mingyue has made a big mistake, but she is my granddaughter after all. Can you give her a chance to reform for my sake?"

As soon as the Queen Mother finished speaking, Xie Lan's brows knitted together. He naturally understood the Queen Mother's feelings, but the nature of this matter was too serious, and he could not sacrifice public affairs for personal reasons.

"Mother, you know my difficulties. If I let Lin Mingyue off easily this time, how will the court's discipline be maintained in the future? How will the safety of the people be guaranteed?"

"Why won't you let Ming Yue go? You should know that she is your niece. Is she not as good as Sheng Rao? Do you really disregard family affection?" The Queen Mother questioned Xie Lan excitedly.

"Mother, just for Lin Mingyue, are you going to disregard even the last bit of mother-son relationship?"

Xie Lan looked at the Queen Mother with the same excitement.

His words were full of helplessness and heartache. He had never thought that one day he and his mother would come to this point because of Lin Mingyue.

When the Queen Mother heard this, her heart ached. She also wanted to protect her son, but she could not bear to see Lin Mingyue suffer. A trace of determination flashed in her eyes, and she knew she had to make a choice.

"Your Majesty, I know your difficulties, but Mingyue is the apple of my eye. I cannot watch her suffer. If you must punish Mingyue, I would rather give up the position of Queen Mother and protect her."

Xie Lan was shocked by the Queen Mother's words. He had never thought that the Queen Mother would give up her position for Lin Mingyue.

"Okay, okay, come here, the Queen Mother is not feeling well and needs to rest. Send her back to the palace immediately. Do not disturb her without my consent!"

Xie Lan's voice trembled a little. He had never thought that the Queen Mother would go to such lengths for Lin Mingyue.

Following his order, the palace maids and eunuchs immediately took action, and the atmosphere in the entire palace suddenly became tense, as if something big was about to happen.

"Xie Lan! How dare you! You can't do this to me! I'm your mother!"

The Queen Mother understood that Xie Lan had confined her, so she immediately started yelling at Xie Lan, completely disregarding her status as the Queen Mother, just like an ordinary unreasonable old woman.

The Queen Mother was taken away by palace servants. Xie Lan stood there, looking at the Queen Mother's departing back with deep eyes, feeling mixed emotions.

Xie Lan had never thought that the relationship between her and the Queen Mother had been torn apart because of Lin Mingyue's incident, and that this rift might never be mended.

However, he was more aware that as the king of a country, he could not sacrifice public interests for personal ones.

Lin Mingyue's behavior has violated the law of the country, and he must be given due punishment. This is not only for the stability of the court and the welfare of the people, but also to maintain the dignity and authority of the royal family.

It seems that we need to quickly find evidence that Lin Mingyue has private soldiers. He has locked Lin Mingyue up and punished her, so she will probably speed up her actions.

Xie Lan guessed correctly.

When Lin Mingyue's followers learned that the Queen Mother had failed to persuade the Emperor, they immediately took action.

Chang Ping bribed the jailer of the Ministry of Justice and came to the prison alone, wanting to see Lin Mingyue.

Changping was originally an official within the imperial court.

The jailers received benefits from Chang Ping, so they naturally did not dare to neglect him and immediately took him to Lin Mingyue's cell.

The cell was dark and damp, with the air filled with the smell of mold and decay. Lin Mingyue sat in the corner, her face pale and her hair disheveled. Her former beauty was long gone. When she saw Chang Ping, a hint of surprise flashed in her eyes, but then dimmed again.

Huo Changwen was locked up in another place, which gave Chang Ping and Lin Mingyue the opportunity to talk away from others.

"Chang Ping, why are you here?" Lin Mingyue's voice was weak and trembling.

Chang Ping squatted down, his eyes full of concern and anger: "Princess, I heard that you were locked up by the emperor. We are really worried about you."

"You shouldn't act rashly." Lin Mingyue said in a low voice.

"Princess, even the Queen Mother couldn't persuade the Emperor. It seems that the Emperor is determined to punish you this time."

Chang Ping's voice was filled with anger.
