The system extends my life, and all my husbands want me to be the empress

Deep inside the palace.

Concubine Lin came out of the bedroom with a complex expression of surprise and worry on her pretty face.

Supported by the palace maid Liao Lan, she gently stroked her still flat belly, took light steps, and hurried to the imperial study where Emperor Lin Moyun was.

"Your Majesty, I have something important to tell you." Concubine Lin's voice was somewhat anxious. Without waiting for the eunuch to report, she broke into the imperial study on her own.

Emperor Lin Moyun was sitting at his desk with a memorial in his hand. Concubine Lin's voice interrupted his thoughts and his brows furrowed slightly.

He raised his head, a hint of displeasure flashed across his face. He saw that Concubine Lin was wearing a light pink palace dress, which made her look even more charming.

However, at this moment, her beautiful face had lost its former calmness and charm, and her eyebrows and eyes were filled with worry and anxiety.

"My beloved concubine, why are you so panicked?" Lin Moyun's brows relaxed. He put down the memorial in his hand, stood up and greeted Concubine Lin.

Concubine Lin walked quickly up to him, snuggled in Lin Moyun's arms, and tears instantly filled her eyes.

"Your Majesty, I just found out that I'm pregnant. It should be a great joy. But who would have thought that in my bedroom, Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan, only drank a few sips of tea and was... poisoned!"

Hearing this, Lin Moyun's face darkened.

Concubine Lin's delicate body was shaking from crying: "I think someone must have wanted to harm me and the heir to the throne! The princess...she has protected me from disaster!"

Concubine Lin burst into tears and tightly grasped the emperor's clothes with both hands: "Your Majesty, please make the decision for me..."

Lin Moyun's face suddenly changed, and a sharp light flashed in his eyes. He quickly hugged her tighter and whispered to comfort her:

"Don't cry, my beloved concubine. Don't cry. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and give you an explanation."

Concubine Lin leaned in the emperor's arms and sobbed, "Your Majesty, I am extremely scared. The people in this palace are treacherous, and I am afraid that my baby and I will be in danger any day."

She raised her head and looked at the emperor with tearful eyes, her eyes were full of fear and helplessness.

Lin Moyun's heart suddenly softened, and he gently wiped away the tears on Concubine Lin's face, and said firmly: "Don't worry, my beloved concubine, I will never let anyone hurt you and your son."

Concubine Lin nodded slightly, her eyes full of gratitude. "Your Majesty, I believe in you."

After saying this, she slowly stood up from the emperor's arms and bowed to him, "I will take my leave first, so as not to disturb the emperor from handling government affairs."

Lin Moyun smiled and nodded, "My beloved concubine, please have a good rest and don't worry too much."

Concubine Lin wiped her tears with a handkerchief, smiled and nodded.

After Concubine Lin left the imperial study, Emperor Lin Moyun sat back at his desk, his face terribly gloomy. He clenched his fists, his knuckles turned white, and the anger in his heart burned fiercely.

"How dare someone in this harem be so bold and presumptuous!

If someone wants to poison Lin Wanwan but hurts the unborn prince in the imperial concubine's belly, I will never forgive them!" Lin Moyun said with gritted teeth.

He stood up and paced back and forth in the imperial study, thinking about the possible mastermind behind the incident.

"Is it the queen? Or other concubines? Or forces outside the palace?" The figures of suspects flashed through Lin Moyun's mind one after another.

"Someone come here!" Lin Moyun shouted loudly.

A eunuch hurried into the imperial study and knelt down to receive orders.

"Pass on my decree and order Minister Ouyang to thoroughly investigate the plot to murder the royal heir. You must give me a result within three days!" Emperor Lin Moyun's voice was full of majesty.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" After receiving the order, the eunuch hurriedly retreated.

Lin Moyun sat back at the desk and picked up a memorial, but he couldn't read it. He was always worried about Concubine Lin and the child in her belly!

At the same time, after returning to her bedroom, Concubine Lin was also in a state of confusion. She sat on the couch, tightly clutching a handkerchief in her hand, her eyes full of worry.

At this time, all the needles on Lin Wanwan's back had been removed by Situ Liuyun. She said goodbye to Concubine Lin on the grounds of feeling unwell: "My Lady, Wanwan is feeling unwell, so I will return home first."

Concubine Lin looked at her weak appearance and looked at Liao Lan beside her: "Go and make arrangements for the princess to lie on the couch I used when I traveled back home."

"Yes." Liolan gave the order, and after a while, Lin Wanwan lay on the couch and left the palace.

"Your Majesty, don't worry too much. His Majesty will definitely find out the truth." The personal maid Liao Lan comforted softly.

Concubine Lin sighed, "Liao Lan, who on earth wants to harm me? I am usually kind to everyone, why did I suffer this disaster?"

Liao Lan shook her head. "Your Majesty, the hearts of people in this palace are treacherous. Perhaps someone is jealous of your favor, or is fighting for a place in the harem."

Concubine Lin frowned, and a hint of ruthlessness flashed in her eyes: "No matter who it is, I will not let him go!"

……

Not long after Concubine Lin left the imperial study.

The fifth princess Lin Meihua finally memorized the answers on the test paper today. She dressed in gorgeous palace clothes and hurried into the palace.

In the imperial study, Emperor Lin Moyun was sitting upright on the dragon throne with a dignified look on his face, reviewing memorials.

After Lin Meihua bowed respectfully, Lin Moyun said, "Meihua, why did you come here on your own initiative?"

Lin Meihua took a deep breath and replied, "Father, I have thought for a long time about the questions raised by the envoys from Yunhai Country at the Queen Mother's Thousand Years Banquet. I finally came up with a concrete and feasible plan this morning."

"Oh?" Lin Moyun's eyes darkened when he heard this. He was very interested and put down the pen in his hand. "Tell me about it."

"Yes." Lin Meihua spoke confidently.

“Question 1: The Xuanyue Dynasty has a strong army, but if it is attacked by the armies of the Yunhai Kingdom in the east and the Zijin Kingdom in the west at the same time, how should it respond?

First of all, we should maintain strategic determination and not be intimidated by the enemy's alliance. Quickly launch the intelligence collection system to learn in detail about the enemy's troop deployment, strategic intentions, logistical supplies, etc.

Question 2: The Xuan Yue Dynasty has a prosperous economy, but if there are natural disasters, poor harvests, and frequent wars, how can we protect people's livelihood, stabilize prices, and save the people from disaster?

Faced with this complex situation, the first thing to do is to activate the emergency disaster relief mechanism, deploy national reserve grain and supplies, and give priority to ensuring the basic living needs of the people in the disaster-stricken areas...

Question 3: If both of the above problems occur, and Xuanyue Kingdom is in chaos on its borders and has internal public discontent, how should it choose to ensure the stability of its country?

In this extremely difficult situation, we need to take a holistic approach. In the process of solving the problem, we must focus on balancing the interests of all parties, flexibly adjust strategies according to actual conditions, gradually resolve the crisis, and ensure the stability of the country..."

Lin Moyun was sitting on the large dragon throne, his brows slightly furrowed, his eyes deep and majestic, carefully thinking about Lin Meihua's answer.

In the imperial study, the scent of sandalwood curls in the air, creating a quiet and solemn atmosphere.

Lin Meihua talked for a long time and finally memorized all the answers on Lin Wanwan's test paper. She stood respectfully below with a slightly expectant look on her face.

soon.

Lin Moyun's eyes flashed, and his face, which was originally tense due to thinking, gradually relaxed. A look of satisfaction appeared in his eyes. He couldn't help but smile and said:

"Meihua, your answer is clear and insightful, which is exactly what I like."

When Lin Meihua heard the praise from His Majesty, she heaved a sigh of relief, a humble smile appeared on her face, and she bowed and said:

"Your Majesty, thank you for your praise. I have been doing my best these past few days and have not dared to slack off in the slightest."

The emperor nodded slightly, his eyes full of satisfaction, and said:

"You were able to think proactively this time, and you took the initiative to answer the questions, and your answers were so outstanding. This shows your intelligence and courage. You have the demeanor of a royal child."

Lin Meihua responded respectfully: "Thank you for the compliment, father."

Lin Moyun smiled and said, "Very good, very good, Meihua, what do you want me to give you?"

Lin Meihua smiled and said, "Father, I would like to ask you to grant me a marriage with Ouyang Qingyu, the Minister of Rites."

"This matter." Lin Moyun thought for a moment, "After I discuss it with the imperial concubine, I will talk to Minister Ouyang."

"Thank you, father!" Lin Meihua was delighted.

Inside the imperial study, the atmosphere became relaxed and cheerful because of the emperor's praise. Just as the two of them were chatting about family matters, an eunuch hurried in.

"Your Majesty, Minister of Justice, Ouyang Qingyu requests to see you."

"Summon him into the hall." After saying this, Lin Moyun sat on the dragon throne, looking very majestic.

Ouyang Qingyu, dressed in official uniform, walked into the hall and saluted.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you."

"Get up." Lin Moyun glanced at him. "I just ordered you to find the person who murdered the heir to the throne. Is there a result so soon?"

Ouyang Qingyu got straight to the point and said, "Your Majesty, Princess An Ning, Lin Wanwan, is suspicious of her ranking in the special examination and wants to review the test paper."

Lin Moyun frowned: "Recheck the test paper? No need. I've seen her test paper, it's bullshit, it's reasonable for her to fail."

Ouyang Qingyu said again: "Your Majesty, please check again."

Lin Moyun was slightly stunned: "What? You don't understand what I'm saying? Are you still wasting time here? Can Lin Wanwan's exam be compared with Concubine Lin and the heir in her belly? Get up, take your people from the Ministry of Justice to investigate."

Ouyang Qingyu knelt down and said, "I ask Your Majesty to review the test paper. If the test paper is correct, I will voluntarily resign and investigate."

"Dismiss and investigate?" Lin Moyun's eyes were stern, "Ouyang Qingyu, are you forcing me?"

Ouyang Qingyu remained silent.

Lin Moyun was furious and slammed the table heavily. "Check! Check it at the Golden Palace tomorrow morning! You should be satisfied, right?"

Ouyang Qingyu smiled and said, "Satisfied."

"Someone come!" Seeing Ouyang Qingyu's attitude, Lin Moyun said angrily, "Tomorrow morning court! Tell Li Da to bring Princess An Ning's test paper to the palace, and all officials related to this special examination, all come to the palace!

Also, summon Princess An Ning to the palace for a confrontation!"

Lin Moyun looked at Lin Meihua and said, "Meihua, you will come to the palace together tomorrow morning. I don't believe that her answer can be better than yours. Is it worth Minister Ouyang's doing this?"

Ouyang Qingyu's eyes were deep and he remained silent.

At this moment, Lin Meihua felt a chill down her spine. She looked at Ouyang Qingyu who was still kneeling on the ground, and was very confused. Why did he help Lin Wanwan in this way?

She tried to be brave enough to believe that as long as Li Da could take the responsibility for the incident, she would still be innocent.
