Tragic death and rebirth, the daughter of a general poisoned the government and the country

Lin Yushu stepped down from the sedan chair and saw the magnificent and golden Purple Palace standing majestically before her.

The palace banquet had not yet begun, and groups of young ladies from aristocratic families on the left were standing in the hall and talking.

On the right is the men's seat, where several ministers gathered to discuss state affairs.

Mrs. Pingyang brought Lin Yushu and Nan Shuning into the hall. There was a moment of silence in the hall.

Then everyone bowed and greeted Lady Pingyang and Princess Ning'an Nan Shuning.

Lin Yushu could see clearly that the young ladies from the aristocratic families and the court officials looked at Nan Shuning with a mixture of inquiry and unfriendly eyes.

The news that Great Zhou and Northern Liao had gone to war on the Yanzhou border had now spread throughout the capital.

Nan Shuning is half Northern Liao royal family bloodline. In the eyes of everyone, Nan Shuning is not of our race and is an alien with ulterior motives.

Nan Shuning noticed the strange looks from people around her, and her delicate face turned pale in an instant.

Lian Pingyang's face turned pale, and his hands clenched into fists at his sides.

No matter how much she was favored by the Empress Dowager and Emperor Ming, no matter how well she got along with the imperial concubines in the capital and how highly respected she was, she could not stop these troublemakers from harming Nan Shuning!

Lin Yushu took a step forward to block those inquiring and scrutinizing gazes.

"Shuning, you haven't been eating well these days. Even the Queen Mother has sent someone to ask about it. Do you have a good appetite today? You should eat more..."

The Queen Mother actually cares about such a small matter as Nan Shuning's poor appetite!

The people around finally backed down and turned their heads away, not daring to look at Nan Shuning anymore.

If their gazes affect Nan Shuning's appetite, I'm afraid the Queen Mother will be angry...

Oh, a bunch of shameless people who bully the weak and fear the strong!

Nan Shuning was stunned at first, but then she understood what Lin Yushu meant. She nodded and smiled and started talking to her, no longer looking at the people around her.

Pingyang *** was very pleased. Lin Yushu was indeed a capable and protective person.

The Queen Mother did send someone to ***'s mansion a few days ago, but it was just to deliver some warming and tonic medicine to Pingyang ***.

Some of those medicines were also for Nan Shuning to regulate her spleen and stomach. Lin Yushu directly over-interpreted the meaning of the Queen Mother sending the medicine and completely shut these people up.

Pingyang *** cheered for Lin Yushu in her heart!

Lin Yushu walked to her seat and was about to sit down when she was stopped by Nan Shuning.

"You sit with me."

Lin Yushu subconsciously looked at Pingyang Palace. Everyone's seats were arranged according to their rank.

A young lady from an official family without any rank like Lin Yushu can only be ranked behind the ladies and wives of officials with rank according to her father's official position.

If a lady is from a mansion, she can be seated according to the highest-ranking official in the mansion.

Therefore, Lin Yushu should sit behind Lin Qingrou, in the back of the hall.

And thanks to his status in the hearts of the Queen Mother and Emperor Ming, Pingyang Xia could sit directly before the princess!

Lin Yushu's identity does not qualify her to sit under the eyes of the emperor, the empress and the queen mother.

Pingyang *** understood Lin Yushu's concerns.

"It's okay, you sit next to Shu Ning."

With Pingyang ***'s words, Lin Yushu walked to her seat with Nan Shuning with confidence.

Immediately, a clever eunuch moved Lin Yushu's seat next to Nan Shuning.

The ladies who had just stared at Nan Shuning with unfriendly looks immediately showed envy and jealousy towards Lin Yushu on their faces.

There are nine dragon-shaped pillars in the main hall, with colorful lanterns decorated with golden roofs hung on them. The edge of the roof is covered with ventilation holes, and breezes often blow into the hall.

The wind made the colorful lanterns spin non-stop, creating colorful and bright lights that illuminated the hall.

But Lin Yushu felt that no matter how fast the colorful lanterns turned, they could not be as fast and colorful as the faces of those people who flattered the powerful and looked down on the weak in front of her.

In the blink of an eye, several princes and Prince Jin's son Nan Rongjing walked into the hall one after another.

These people's faces were quickly replaced with flattering and infatuated smiles, which made Lin Yushu feel nauseous.

After everyone entered the hall one after another, Emperor Ming walked in with the Empress Dowager and the Queen.

Suddenly, all the officials came to pay their respects and shouted "Long live the emperor" three times.

"Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. I am celebrating with all the ministers. There is no need to be polite. Please stand up."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet begins.

As the ceremonial music started playing, a group of dancers wearing pale yellow gauze skirts, long white silk ribbons around their waists and with faces like full moons walked to the center of the hall and danced gracefully to the music.

Prince Zhao was sitting next to the emperor, holding a wine glass and watching the dancers intently.

"I heard that my tenth brother is getting married? Why didn't you tell me and the Queen Mother about such an important event?"

When King Zhao heard Emperor Ming's words, he reluctantly withdrew his gaze.

"It's just getting married, it's not a big deal."

The King of Zhao felt very upset when he thought about the fact that he had to go to the stupid woman whom he had almost beaten to death.

Emperor Ming smiled cheerfully, "Marrying a bride is not a big deal. What can be considered a big deal? I heard that it is the daughter of the Lin family in the General's Mansion?"

When King Zhao heard the words "General's Mansion Lin Family", he became even more angry.

"She is just an ignorant little girl. I just married her for fun."

King Zhao looked impatient and waved his hand, causing the wine jug on the table to fall to the ground with a bang.

The fine wine mixed with white porcelain pieces splashed everywhere.

"Be careful, Your Majesty!"

Chang Xi, the chief eunuch beside the emperor, immediately stood in front of the emperor and blocked a few pieces of porcelain.

The hall suddenly became quiet and the dancers retreated one after another.

The King of Zhao immediately knelt down in fear and kowtowed to apologize, "I was reckless and almost hurt my brother. I deserve to die!"

Emperor Ming examined the King of Zhao's expression, and after a moment he said, "It's alright, my tenth brother did it unintentionally, how can I bear to blame him."

"Get up, keep playing, keep dancing."

King Zhao wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and returned to his seat.

Outsiders all thought that Emperor Ming valued his younger brother very much, but only King Zhao knew it clearly.

In Emperor Ming's heart, there was never any blood relationship, only the value of being used.

The value of King Zhao lies in proving that Emperor Ming is a man who is friendly and respectful to his brothers, rather than a man who kills his brothers in cold blood.

Emperor Ming seized the throne from the third prince. After the third prince was defeated, he was executed by Emperor Ming who ascended the throne.

In order to avoid criticism from the people of the world, King Zhao, who had made great contributions to the emperor, was brought to the public by Emperor Ming and was given great favors.

Just like Princess Pingyang, even though she was Emperor Ming's biological sister, the reason why Princess Pingyang and Princess Ning'an were loved by Emperor Ming was because they were hostages of Northern Liao in the past. Now the Eighth Prince of Northern Liao is competing with the Crown Prince of Northern Liao for the throne.

The Prince of Zhao and the Prince of Jin knew Emperor Ming's temper.

Therefore, the Prince of Jin, who was of no use, left the capital early and guarded the border for Emperor Ming, which ensured the current safety of Prince of Jin Nan Rongjing.

Emperor Ming pondered King Zhao's reaction and sneered.

"Since I already know that my tenth brother is going to get married, then I, as his royal brother, cannot but show him some grace."

"I will issue an imperial decree to grant you and the fourth young lady of the Lin family a marriage, and hold a grand wedding banquet for you."

King Zhao clenched his wine glass instantly.
