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

Lin Yushu immediately knelt down and declined.

"The Queen Mother is the mother of all people in the world. It is my honor to save her. I do not deserve even a word of thanks. Moreover, this hairpin is gorgeous and noble. I am really not worthy of it."

Although it was a gift from the emperor and could be worn by people of higher rank, this hairpin was too ostentatious and Lin Yushu had to decline it.

"If I say you deserve it, then you deserve it. If you don't reward me for my meritorious service, it will chill the hearts of my subjects. I am also trying to appease my subjects, so you can keep it."

Pingyang *** echoed: "The elder's gift cannot be refused, Shu'er, you should accept it."

It would be rude to refuse again, so Lin Yushu accepted it obediently.

Lady Pingyang called Nan Shuning and Lin Yushu and talked with the empress dowager for a long time until the empress dowager returned to the harem due to fatigue, and then she returned to the banquet.

Lin Minglang smiled and drank with his colleagues at the banquet, but he kept thinking in his mind that this great victory was of extraordinary significance to the Great Zhou, but he knew Emperor Ming's temper well.

Emperor Ming was absolutely unwilling to cultivate a general who held military power and would threaten his imperial authority, and Lin Minglang would never let Lin Mingyue influence his career.

In order to prevent Lin Mingyue from becoming too powerful, the best way is to have no wars to fight, so that the military power in his hands can be slowly taken back.

Thinking of some of the discussions in the court in recent days, Lin Minglang had an idea in his mind.

"Your Majesty, I heard that the Northern Liao envoy will return to the capital with my brother. By then, Northern Liao and Great Zhou will have a good relationship. Our two countries can build prosperity together. This is really cause for celebration."

After saying this, he drank a glass of wine. Emperor Ming gave him enough face and also drank a glass of wine.

"I personally think that if we want the two countries to have a long-term friendly relationship, it would be better to use the envoys coming to Beijing this time to form an alliance with Northern Liao."

As soon as these words were spoken, the banquet fell silent, leaving only the sounds of string music.

The marriage proposal had long been proposed in the court, but Emperor Ming remained noncommittal, which made these ministers dare not speculate on the emperor's intentions, for fear that saying too much would displease the emperor.

Unexpectedly, on New Year's Eve, at the palace banquet, Lin Minglang actually brought up the old things again. He was really bold.

Emperor Ming looked at Lin Minglang thoughtfully, which made Lin Minglang sweat coldly on his back. After a moment, Emperor Ming smiled heartily.

"Lord Lin, it is rare for you to share the country's worries, but today is a palace banquet to welcome the new year and we will not discuss state affairs."

Lin Minglang quickly retreated and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, but he couldn't stop feeling happy in his heart.

Judging from Emperor Ming’s reaction, he made the right bet!

Emperor Ming was indeed inclined towards the marriage. Regardless of whether the marriage could be accomplished in the future, at least he allowed Emperor Ming to see the attitude of the second branch of the General's Mansion.

After Emperor Ming finished speaking, he inadvertently glanced at Pingyang *** and Nan Shuning's relief.

No one else noticed, but Lin Yushu kept staring at Emperor Ming's reaction. Her fingers holding the wine glass couldn't help but tighten. The marriage was coming as expected!

Emperor Ming is still planning on Nan Shuning!

Lin Yushu prayed silently, hoping that her father and brother in Yanzhou could help...

The cups were clinking and the wine was already half drunk.

Nan Shuning suddenly felt a sharp pain in her stomach, her face turned pale in an instant, and she supported the maid beside her with trembling hands.

"I'm going to get some air."

Nan Shuning whispered something to Pingyang Lady and Lin Yushu, then got up and left, walking towards the guest room.

Nan Shuning had just left when Lin Yushu accidentally glanced at the dishes on her table. Half of the soy milk with a strong bean aroma had been drunk.

This is……

Lin Yushu immediately turned around and hurriedly ordered Leng Dai, "Hurry up and follow Princess Ning'an!"

Leng Dai saw the worry and anxiety in Lin Yushu's eyes, and without saying a word, she turned around and walked quickly in the direction Nan Shuning left.

At today's palace banquet, each lady can only bring one maid with her. Lin Yushu brought Leng Dai with her just to deal with emergencies.

Lin Yushu thought for a moment and found that there was nothing wrong with the smell of the soy milk, but the color was a little darker.

The other party should have been targeting her, but knowing that she was difficult to deal with, he turned to attack Nan Shuning.

All the dishes delivered to Nan Shuning and Pingyang *** would pass behind Lin Yushu, and she would smell each one carefully when it was delivered.

Her poison skills have always been her biggest trump card, so even Nan Shuning only thought that she was proficient in medical skills.

In this way, she could not openly check the dishes they ate, but after all, it was a palace banquet, and few people had the courage to harm others at this time.

But now someone has taken action.

There was no problem with the smell of that soy milk, and the slight difference in color was due to the addition of a small amount of croton.

It can't be considered poisoning, and even if it's discovered, there won't be a severe punishment.

The person behind the scenes probably just wanted to lure Lin Yushu out, and the real killer move should be arranged outside the hall.

Sure enough, after a cup of tea, Nan Shuning still hadn't come back.

Lin Yushu said hello to Pingyang *** and walked in the direction Nan Shuning left.

It was late at night, and on the tall pines and cypresses outside the Zichen Palace hung countless festive red lanterns, swaying gently in the cold wind and emitting a bright and eerie red light in the dark night.

The path outside the temple was extremely quiet. After walking along the path for a while, a low hut hidden behind the bushes appeared in front of us.

This is Gong's room.

It was here that Lin Yushu threw away the cat hair on her cloak at the last Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.

As I approached, I saw a fat figure slowly walking out of the darkness between the pines and cypresses.

The second prince Nan Heying!

Lin Yushu was not surprised. She looked at him coldly, "What can I do for you, Your Highness the Second Prince?"

Nan Heying seemed very satisfied with the current situation. He had several guards following him, and was not afraid of what Lin Yushu, who was alone, could do.

"County Lady Shuyi, why don't you reconsider my proposal?"

Lin Yushu's expression remained unchanged, but she couldn't help but worry about Nan Shuning.

If Hu Ruzhen took action, given her cowardly personality, she wouldn't dare to do anything to Nan Shuning, but the same could not be said for the Second Prince.

Years of fighting for the throne had already made the princes lose their humanity, not to mention the second prince who defeated the crown prince in this fight.

"Where is Nan Shuning?"

The second prince showed a cruel smile on his chubby face, "Don't worry, Ning An is my cousin, I will never harm her."

The second prince was still waiting for Lin Yushu's answer, to answer whether she was willing to be his concubine.

"What if I agree, what if I disagree?"

Lin Yushu stared at the Second Prince with burning eyes. If he made any unusual movement, she would immediately use her internal strength to climb over the wall and escape.

No one knew that she had some basic kung fu skills. As long as she caught the enemy by surprise, Lin Yushu could definitely escape from the guards behind the second prince.

"If you agree, then everyone will be happy. You will be my concubine, and I will promise you the Lin family's wealth and glory."

"If you don't agree..."

The second prince's smile faded, and murderous intent flashed in his sinister eyes.

"Then you will become the murderer of Nan Shuning!"

Lin Yushu's heart tightened violently.

Nan Shuning, dead?!
