At this moment, within the Imperial Palaces study, the Empress felt her heart in great turmoil. The secrets she had hidden for so long had unexpectedly been discovered by the officials. How could she face their countless questions in the future?

Would they mock her behind her back? Especially when she thought about the fact that even her beloved Lin Beifan knew about this, she wished she could find a hole to hide in, never wanting to see anyone again. The more she thought about it, the more chaotic and upset she became.

Staring at the piles of memorials in front of her, she couldnt read a single one.

At this moment, an old eunuch brought a bowl of ginseng tea and smiled, saying, Your Majesty, please have some tea!

The Empress finally snapped out of her daze, Oh alright tea! She then immediately lowered her head to drink the tea but ended up drinking too quickly and choking on it.

Cough, cough

Your Majesty, no need to rush, drink slowly!

Oh alright!

And then, she really began to sip it slowly.

As she brought the teacup to her lips and took a gentle sip, her gaze suddenly became distant and she held that pose for a long time.

No one knew what she was thinking; she was deeply lost in thought. The old eunuch couldnt help but chuckle as he observed this. He had watched the Empress grow up, and he could see right through her whenever she had something on her mind.

Bowing, he said, Your Majesty, regarding the marriage between you and Prime Minister Lin, although there has been much discussion among the officials, overall, they are very supportive! After all, under the heavens, only Prime Minister Lin is worthy of you.

The Empress, now more composed, expressed a hint of delight, Is that so? Do the officials really think that way?

Yes, how could I dare to deceive Your Majesty? the old eunuch laughed and continued, It is said that after the court session ended, the officials all gathered around Prime Minister Lin, congratulating him and even expressing their desire to attend your wedding banquet!

The Empresss expression visibly brightened, and she happily took another sip of tea, It seems that the courtiers still have me in their hearts! Lets forget about the year-long penalty!

Yes, on behalf of the officials, I thank Your Majesty!

But then, the Empress became nervous again, What about the common people? How do they view me?

The old eunuch bowed and smiled, Actually, the common people are even more supportive! They say the union between you and the Prime Minister is a match made in heaven! They hope the two of you will marry soon and continue the imperial bloodline.

Very well! The Empress was greatly pleased, Then, let there be a three-day holiday to celebrate with the people!

Yes, on behalf of the common folk, I thank Your Majesty for your benevolence!

However, the Empress began to feel uneasy again, What about Sir Lin how does Sir Lin view me? After asking this question, her palms were sweaty, fearing an unfavorable response.

After all, Lin Beifan was the real party involved. If he didnt agree, there was no use in forcing it.

Your Majesty, as of now, this old servant has not received specific information from Prime Minister Lin! However, I heard from the little princess that most people in the Prime Ministers residence are generally supportive!

Very well! The Empress became happy again.

No! Tell him Im very sleepy right now and need to rest, I dont want to see anyone! The Empress pretended to be half-asleep.

Yes, Your Majesty! The old eunuch retreated once more. Soon, he returned again, Your Majesty, Prime Minister still hasnt

In this way, both sides communicated through the old eunuch. One desperately wanted to meet, while the other desperately wanted to avoid. The old eunuch caught in the middle was truly in a dilemma, almost running his legs off, exclaiming, What is this, both of you young people with your matters have tangled me up! What a predicament

Once again in front of Lin Beifan, the old eunuch bowed and said, Lord Prime Minister, Her Majesty has said that she has already gone to sleep and wont receive any guests, no matter who comes. Its best if you leave for now!

Is she really asleep? Lin Beifan chuckled, his mental power scanning inside, making it clear.

The Empress was wide awake, dressed properly, and not at all asleep. It was evident she wanted to avoid him.

Lin Beifan felt very wronged; this Empress was too overbearing! She had taken charge of his marriage without consulting him, leaving him with no freedom in the matter. Now she was refusing to see him, not giving him a chance to voice his objections. What kind of reasoning was this?

Although he was her subject, he had his dignity, right?

Liu Gonggong, go in again and tell Her Majesty that if she doesnt see me today, I will never agree to this marriage!

The old eunuch was shocked, Lord Prime Minister, you absolutely mustnt do that! The fact that Her Majesty has chosen you is a blessing from your past life; you should cherish it! If you resist the decree, it could cost you your head!

Lin Beifan raised his head, Humph! Do you think Im that afraid? See if I dare or not.

The old eunuch hesitated. Lin Beifans courage was known throughout the entire court. He had only just entered government service and had boldly opposed the entire court of civil and military officials. His daringness could be described as boundless!

The old eunuch was genuinely afraid that Lin Beifan might act impulsively.

Liu Gonggong, just go in and tell Her Majesty this! Lin Beifan urged.

Ah, well

So, the old eunuch had no choice but to convey Lin Beifans words to the Empress. After hearing them, the Empress trembled with anger, That Lin Beifan, how dare he use this matter to threaten me? Hes truly audacious and disrespectful, not placing me in his eyes at all! This is unreasonable!

Your Majesty, Prime Minister may have acted impulsively; please calm down, the old eunuch pleaded.

The Empress was furious, Can he say such things just because he acted impulsively? Does he think he can threaten me this way? Hmph! Absolutely impossible! I am the ruler of this realm; how could I easily yield? Liu Gonggong, go and tell him to come in!

What? The old eunuch was puzzled.

The Empress, annoyed, said, Why are you standing there blankly? Hurry up and call him in!

Yes, Your Majesty! The old eunuch bowed.

Wait! The Empress called out once more.

The old eunuch turned around and followed, asking, Your Majesty, is there anything else youd like to instruct?

The Empresss face looked somewhat unnatural as she said, Have the palace maids help Lin Beifan tidy up in the Dragons Blessing chamber, and then assist him in changing into sleeping robes

The old eunuch was perplexed: ???
