Chapter 399 Hateful Request
Chapter 399 Hateful Request
Lin Junxue listened silently to Concubine Chen recalling the past and watched her suddenly come to her senses.
The reason why she was willing to help Concubine Chen this time was not because she was a saint.
It was because Concubine Chen did not get along with the original queen.
But, in the final analysis, I have not really used any inferior means to calculate, nor have I killed anyone.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have thought of taking advantage of the situation to save Concubine Chen's life.
Sun Manrou finished speaking
Lin Junxue handed her a handkerchief and said calmly, "Only cowardly and incompetent people would recall the past. Concubine Chen, you should think about what to do in the future now."
Sun Manrou is powerless
"Future? Queen, what future do I have? Sun Qing assassinated the emperor. The emperor will not let the Sun family go. I am a member of the Sun family and I will die too. Queen, don't give me hope."
Lin Junxue looked at Sun Manrou, who looked like she was dying.
"Who said you have no future? Today, I came here to give you a way to survive. As for this way of survival, whether you take it or not is your own choice."
A glimmer of hope suddenly appeared in the eyes of the concubine.
She knew she had no way out, so she gave up on herself.
Now, the Queen Mother said, does she really still have a way to survive?
"I, your concubine, can really still survive?"
Lin Junxue smiled slightly and spoke calmly.
"Of course, the matter of Sun Qing's assassination has caused a lot of discussion in the court and the public, but the emperor has not yet issued a direct decree to deal with your Sun family. The Sun family has been stationed in the southwest for many years and has hundreds of thousands of troops. This is the biggest bargaining chip. Now, you can sacrifice the car to save the king. As long as you write a letter to your father and ask him to take the initiative to apologize and hand over the military token, insisting that he had no knowledge of Sun Qing's assassination and that it was all done by Sun Qing alone. The military token is the way for your Sun family to survive. As long as the Sun family hands over the military token, not only will you not die, but you can also keep your current position as a concubine."
Sun Manrou suddenly felt a chill in her heart. She was silent for a long while and did not speak.
Lin Junxue didn't rush her. Some things needed to be figured out by one.
For example, why did she come here now? Why did she give her this chance to live?
Only Sun Manrou understood that all this was done under Xie Yu's instructions.
She wanted Sun Manrou to see clearly that it was Xie Yu who caused her family to be destroyed.
Xie Yu thought that Concubine Chen was stupid and easy to control, but he didn't know that even a rabbit will bite when it is cornered.
Never underestimate a woman's cruelty and determination.
Because once a woman becomes ruthless, she can do anything and dares to do anything.
Sun Manrou slowly raised her eyes, bloodshot, and spoke in a low voice.
"Empress, the Emperor sent you here so that I can write a letter to my father and ask him to hand over the military token and apologize, right?"
Lin Junxue paused
"Since you already know, why bother asking again? Concubine Chen, some things should be kept in your heart. I will pretend that I have never heard of you."
Sun Manrou's heart is bleeding, so that's it
Assassination by Sun Qing?
That's it
In an instant, Sun Manrou figured it out. It was all a dream. It turned out to be a conspiracy.
Hate is everywhere
At this moment, her heart seemed to be cut open, bleeding and full of holes.
Your Majesty, you have such a cruel heart!
Guyu came in with the medicine and said, "My Lady, I will serve you the medicine."
Sun Manrou guessed the truth of the matter and had hope of survival. She did not refuse.
Guyu stepped forward and fed the medicine to Sun Manrou, then stepped back.
Sun Manrou looked at Lin Junxue with a scrutinizing look in her eyes.
"Empress, today, you come and tell me the truth. Aren't you afraid that the Emperor will know?"
Lin Junxue smiled
"So, what did I say?"
Sun Manrou paused. She really couldn't understand the Queen now.
The whole person is like a fog, and it is impossible to see her intentions.
Sun Manrou clenched her fists tightly
"Even if I knew, what can I do? What can I do to the emperor? It will only make me more miserable. The emperor did so much just for the military power of my Sun family. In the future, even if my father handed over the military power and the emperor kept my position as the concubine, what can I do? Won't I still live under the emperor's nose?"
Lin Junxue said, "As a concubine in the harem, you should live under the emperor's nose. I will pretend that I didn't hear anything you said today. Be a good concubine. If you have made up your mind and written a letter, please send it to Zhonghe Palace. I will rush it to the southwest at an expedited speed of 800 miles. You should know that if you delay for another day, the Sun family will be in more danger."
Sun Manrou gritted her teeth
"What if I don't want to? Even if the Sun family dies, they are unwilling to give up the military power and live in disgrace. I don't want the position of Chen Fei. It's better to just die like this and put an end to it all."
Lin Junxue stood up, looked at the unwillingness hidden in Sun Manrou's eyes, and said softly
"All over? Why deceive yourself? You are unwilling to accept this. Have you ever heard of the saying, as long as you are alive, there is hope? There are also four words, there is a long way to go. What you cannot do today does not mean you cannot do it tomorrow. If you do not believe in yourself, who will believe in you?"
Sun Manrou shrank back, there is still a long way to go?
Seeing her lower her head and remain silent, Lin Junxue knew that she had figured most of it out.
People, especially women, should never underestimate yourself.
Especially someone like Concubine Chen, Xie Yu thought she was stupid, so he would be even less guarded against her.
This is not a disadvantage, but rather Sun Manrou's greatest advantage in the future, but she is not aware of it yet.
Now, we need to add another fire
Lin Junxue said again, "Empress Chen, do you know why you haven't been pregnant for many years? And I am pregnant, but I can't keep it? You have taken so many tonics, but they are of no use. Maybe it's not your problem at all."
Sun Manrou was shocked, her expression gradually became stiff, and even the muscles on her face were trembling slightly.
"Queen, you are, what do you mean? You mean I have been infertile for many years, it's not me, it's not me"
Lin Junxue paused, but did not look back, and then left.
Today, she seemed to have said everything, but in fact she said nothing at all.
She will never drop any handle
But Sun Manrou should have figured everything out.
Less than an hour after returning to Zhonghe Palace, Concubine Chen's personal maid arrived.
He brought a message saying that the Concubine could write a letter back to the southwest to persuade Sun Hua to hand over the military token and take the initiative to plead guilty.
She had only one request, which was to go to the prison and see Sun Qing in person, to fulfill their sisterly love.
Of course, this is just an excuse.
Lin Junxue knew that Sun Manrou wanted to find out with Sun Qing what happened in the royal palace that night?
Did she really assassinate Xie Yu?
Lin Junxue went to Taiwu Hall in person and told Xie Yu about Sun Manrou's request.
Xie Yu agreed readily, and Lin Junxue knew there was something fishy going on.
Sure enough, in the evening, Sun Manrou went to the prison.
Then he saw Sun Qing, who had been tortured beyond recognition, had his tongue ripped out, no healthy flesh on his body, his legs broken, and was mad and emaciated.
But in just three days, Sun Qing had been tortured beyond recognition.
Even though Sun Manrou hated Sun Qing, she was stunned for a moment when she saw this scene, and felt a chill in her heart.
