The dim back

Lin Xuefeng's eyes were sharp, and he instantly caught the change in the Queen Mother's expression. His smile quickly appeared on his face like a spring breeze, with a hint of flattery and concern. His voice was gentle and low, like a gentle breeze: "Your Highness, your face seems a little wrong, is there something bothering you?"

The Queen Mother's eyes were slightly cold, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly, but she didn't say anything. Lin Xuefeng's heart tightened. He knew the Queen Mother's temper very well, so he stepped forward and said humbly, "Your Highness, if there is anything I can do for you, please tell me." His eyes revealed sincere concern, and his hands trembled slightly, as if he was waiting for the Queen Mother's instructions.

The empress dowager frowned slightly and opened her lips: "Lin Xuefeng, do you know why I am upset?" There was a hint of majesty in her voice, making people dare not neglect her in the slightest.

Beads of sweat oozed out of Lin Xuefeng's forehead. He lowered his head and said softly, "I am stupid, please enlighten me, Your Majesty." His body was trembling slightly, and he secretly guessed what the Queen Mother was thinking.

The Queen Mother looked at Lin Xuefeng, a hint of dissatisfaction flashed in her eyes. She said slowly: "There are so many trivial matters in the palace recently, and I am exhausted both physically and mentally." Lin Xuefeng breathed a sigh of relief and said quickly: "Your Highness the Queen Mother has worked hard, and I will do my best to share your worries." His face was full of smiles, trying to make the Queen Mother feel a little better.

The empress dowager nodded slightly, her tone still cold: "Well, you go and deal with those trivial matters." Lin Xuefeng felt as if he had been pardoned. He kowtowed repeatedly: "Thank you, Your Highness the Empress Dowager. I will do it right away." After that, he turned and left. His steps were a little hurried, but he was secretly complaining in his heart.

Lin Xuefeng was secretly delighted, thinking that he had successfully escaped a disaster. However, before his smile could fully unfold, it was frozen on his face by the words of the Queen Mother.

The Queen Mother's voice was cold and majestic, as if it could penetrate his soul, causing him to shudder. "Since you dare to use my majesty, I think you really don't want to live." These words were like a sharp sword, piercing Lin Xuefeng's heart.

His face turned pale as paper in an instant, and a layer of fine beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He stared at the Queen Mother with wide eyes, looking at her in disbelief, his eyes full of fear and despair.

The cold eyes of the Queen Mother were like an insurmountable mountain, which made him breathless. He began to regret what he had done and realized that he had made an irreparable mistake.

At this moment, Lin Xuefeng seemed to have lost all his strength, his legs became weak, and he almost collapsed to the ground. He was filled with despair and didn't know how to face the Queen Mother's anger.

Lin Xuefeng knelt on his knees with a thud, bowed his head and kowtowed, saying: "Your Majesty the Queen Mother, please enlighten me! I really don't understand, what did I do wrong?"

The Queen Mother smiled coldly, staring at Lin Xuefeng with eyes as sharp as a knife, and said in a cold tone: "Now on the playground, everyone says that you are capable of ruling the world. Although you are respectful to the emperor on the surface, you have ulterior motives in private. Could it be that... you have the intention of rebellion?"

These words were like a sharp sword that pierced Lin Xuefeng's heart. However, he immediately denied it, with cold sweat dripping down his forehead, and said in a trembling voice: "I am loyal to the Queen Mother and have no second thoughts! You must not believe these nonsense! I am willing to swear my loyalty to the Queen Mother until death!"

The Queen Mother narrowed her eyes slightly, stretched out her jade hand and gently pinched Lin Xuefeng's cheek, saying with a smile: "Humph, you are just a lover of mine. It's as easy to kill you as it is to kill an ant. Don't take advantage of the fact that I still have some interest in you and start to act recklessly. Remember your identity well!"

Lin Xuefeng could only sit on the ground in anger, holding his hands tightly on the ground and said, "Please rest assured, Queen Mother, I am just a dog beside the Queen Mother."

While Lin Xuefeng was speaking, he actually imitated a dog's barking twice, which made the Queen Mother laugh heartily: "My baby is almost one month old, it's time for me to go out for a walk, then I'll get everyone talking about it."

As she spoke, the Queen Mother stood up. Lin Xuefeng hurried forward and followed behind her humbly: "Please take care of yourself, Queen Mother."

The Queen Mother did not stop and took the opportunity to walk outside.

Zhang Yulu and Liu Zhongqing who were waiting in the garden saw this.

Zhang Yulu began to sigh: "I didn't expect that Lin Xuefeng is so eloquent now. He can make the Queen Mother less angry with just a few words."

Liu Zhongqing shook his head: "You are still too shallow. The Queen Mother has many lovers, and Lin Xuefeng is just one of them. But I am very surprised that the others have only been with the Queen Mother for half a year at most, while this Lin Xuefeng has been with her for almost two years."

Zhang Yulu had an idea in her mind: "Then why don't you report this situation to the emperor and take the opportunity to grant Lin Xuefeng a marriage."

Liu Zhongqing thought it was a good idea: "You are right. How could I have forgotten about this? Then just leave it to me."

Liu Zhongqing came to the emperor. Upon hearing the news, the emperor said, "I know very well that Lin Xuefeng has formed a group and the majority of people in the court are on his side. What do you want me to do?"

Liu Zhongqing expressed his opinion: "Let me put it this way. I think Minister Tao's daughter, Princess Taohua, is also of marriageable age. I heard that Princess Taohua is very sturdy and weighs 200 kilograms. Let's marry her to our Lin Xuefeng."

The emperor also became happy: "If I were to explain how powerful Chengpo is, I believe the Queen Mother would not be able to refute it. If the chief of Taohua County knew that their Master Junma had an affair with the Queen Mother, it would be very interesting."

After the two of them finished talking, they threw their heads back and laughed out loud.

The emperor sent someone to summon Lin Xuefeng.

When Lin Xuefeng heard the news, he was more convinced: "Thank you, Emperor, for granting me the marriage. I will go back to the palace and prepare for it immediately."

Lin Xuefeng had just walked out of the door when Zhang Yulu came towards him.

Zhang Yulu said to Lin Xuefeng, "I think you must be very happy to think that you are the same as before when you traveled through time and space, and now you are about to become Junma Ye."

Lin Xuefeng nodded: "Finally, I can turn the Lin family around, and at the same time, I can become the young master of the Lin family."

Zhang Yulu said in a gloomy tone: "Don't forget, there is also the Queen Mother. What are you going to do?"

Lin Xuefeng was also a little embarrassed: "I really don't know what to do. If you don't worry about me, I know you are worried about me too."

Liu Zhongqing came out from the back and said, "Stop flattering yourself. This is my princess."
