Yu Shu was reluctant to dig into the already empty treasury, and she said this without any pressure. It was just a pity that once Lin Jiyuan came back, she could not let Lu Wenyu help her share at least hundreds of memorials every day.
She was not making groundless speculations. In the dream, because she had never been taught the way of an emperor, it was difficult for her to even read the memorials, and she did not dare to ask the Grand Master for advice. She had no choice but to ask Xuan Ping for help.
But she was soon discovered by Lin Jiyuan, who killed Xuanping with a fierce expression and looked at her expressionlessly. From then on, she was unable to access the memorials, and the memorials submitted by the ministers every day were taken to the Regent's Palace.
Lin Jiyuan told the courtiers about the eunuch's review of the memorial without any secret. From then on, all the courtiers were disappointed with her as the empress. Even the palace officials felt that she was unworthy of being an emperor. She gradually lost the last bit of power as a puppet emperor and became the leader of the entire dynasty. The laughing stock.
Yu Shu didn't want to be caught by Lin Jiyuan and take the opportunity to deprive her of her power, so Lu Wenyu, the long-term worker, should let go for the time being.
Lu Wenyu, who used the scornful tactics to please the empress before, heard the empress's lustrous and alluring lips gently parting and said such words. Lu Wenyu's heart dropped, and he moved and seemed to still have some traces hidden under his sleeves. Holding the soft hands of the empress' jade feet, he raised his head and asked the empress, who still looked naturally charming, without realizing at all that her words were off-kilter.
"Your Majesty won't let me come to the palace again. Is it because of the Regent?"
Yu Shu thought that Lu Wenyu knew about Lin Jiyuan's intention to seize the throne, and secretly sighed that Lin Jiyuan's intention might be known to all the courtiers, and then nodded and said in a cryptic way.
"What Prime Minister Lu came to my palace to do was not appropriate for the Regent to know. The Regent is about to move into the palace. It is even more inconvenient for me to get along with Prime Minister Lu other than in the court."
If Lin Jiyuan knew that she was dating an important minister like Lu Wenyu, Yu Shu was very worried that before he could win over Shen Qingzhuo and obtain the tiger talisman, he would be trapped in the palace by Lin Jiyuan, unable to do anything.
The cryptic words spoken by Yu Shu, who was wary of the ears across the wall, fell on Lu Wenyu's ears. He glanced at the beaded hairpin in the empress's hair that the regent personally wore, curled his fingers, and lowered his drooped eyelids to hide the gloominess in his eyes that might scare the empress.
"I will obey your Majesty's words. However, your Majesty is the head of a country. Even the regent has no right to restrain you. Your Majesty does not need to take him into consideration when acting."
Yu Shu lamented how sincere her words were. It was a pity that she didn't even have anyone she could use now, so she had to take Lin Jiyuan into consideration.
Seeing the regret on the empress's face, as if she was dissatisfied with Lin Jiyuan's too many restrictions, Lu Wenyu looked slightly relaxed. Without forcing the empress to promise anything, and without asking for any rewards, he took the initiative to resign and leave the palace.
The Regent's Palace didn't know that the craftsmen they hired were so motivated, so they started work overnight. Lin Jiyuan took his confidants and moved into the palace. He ignored the speculations from the outside world. For dinner, he went to the empress's palace to meet him for dinner on the grounds that the imperial dining room did not prepare his meal. The empress had dinner together.
Looking at Lin Jiyuan who was serving soup and shaving fish bones for her, knowing that she loved to eat fish, Yu Shu bit her jade chopsticks with her pink lips. She wanted to know if this man was going to use gentle methods to erode her defenses and wait for her to trust him. Okay, another fatal blow.
Because of the existence of precognitive dreams, facing the possibility of killing her for her own life, she became a little suspicious. She simply did not believe that the regent, who was the most ambitious emperor to be the emperor, would sincerely treat her well.
The tricks Lin Jiyuan learned from his confidants to please women were destined to have no effect at all.
"The meals prepared by the royal chef for your majesty are very good, which greatly increases my appetite. I wonder if I might come to your majesty's place to dine again in the future?" Lin Jiyuan said as if he liked these meals very much.
