Chapter 1268: Secret Conversation Between the Emperor and the People

Translator: Lonelytree

When Lin Yuelan heard this, she frowned slightly. Then, she shook her head and said,” Your Majesty, I’m just a commoner, a peasant girl! I might not be able to help Your Majesty much!”

“That’s why I made you a princess! “Yuwen Longyan’s voice was solemn and dignified as he said,” The army has Jiang Zhennan, and the people have Lin Yuelan. If I have you and your husband to cooperate and help me, I believe that I will definitely be able to do it in my lifetime!”

Lin Yuelan listened to Yuwen Longyan and stared at him with a sharp gaze. Yuwen Longyan also looked at Lin Yuelan seriously.

After an unknown period of time, Lin Yuelan suddenly stretched out a hand.” Give it to me.”

Yuwen Longyan was stunned when he saw her hand suddenly reach out.” What?”

Lin Yuelan said bluntly,” The death-exemption medallion and His Majesty’s promise! ”

Yuwen Longyan narrowed his eyes and frowned.” A death-exemption token? A promise?” Then, his eyes widened in surprise.” Girl, you’ve agreed!”

However, he immediately asked in confusion,” Why do you want the death-exemption medallion and my promise?”

Lin Yuelan extended her hand and said very naturally,” The heart of a monarch is unpredictable!”

Yuwen Longyan immediately understood. He asked in surprise,” You mean 1 will burn the bridge after crossing the river!”

Lin Yuelan shook her head and said,” Your Majesty, I didn’t say that.

However,” her expression changed and became sharp and direct,” I still want such a guarantee! Brother Nan has soldiers, and I have talent and wealth. It’s inevitable that the emperor will be on guard! Once this thought appeared, the safety of this woman and Brother Nan would not be guaranteed!” Therefore, she still had to give herself a guarantee of safety!

Yuwen Longyan’s pupils constricted slightly when he heard Lin Yuelan’s direct and sharp words. His expression became even more serious. He stared at Lin Yuelan quietly as if he was thinking deeply.

After some time, he asked,” Then can you guarantee that you won’t have the intention of rebelling and replacing me? You said it yourself, Zhennan has an army, and you, Lin Yuelan, are talented, rich, and resourceful. With your intelligence and wisdom, it won’t be a problem for you to help Zhennan seize the throne!”

He was very direct!

Both sides directly came forward and put the problem on the table!

Therefore, when the two of them were in Taoyuan Village, they became friends regardless of age!

Lin Yuelan’s eyes were sharp, and her expression was serious. She said,” Your Majesty, I like farming, freedom, and a carefree life. I don’t want to be bound in such a cage.

“If he, Jiang Zhennan, suddenly had such ambition, then this commoner would be the first not to let him off! If he does anything treasonous in your lifetime, I will personally present his head to Your Majesty’s throne.

After Lin Yuelan smiled, she told Yuwen Longyan with a serious expression,” Your Majesty, if he really has any ill intentions, 1 have my own ways to control him! So, Your Majesty, where is your death-exemption medallion and your promise?”

Yuwen Longyan nodded and said,” The death-exemption medallion is fine, but what kind of promise do you want me to make?”

Lin Yuelan thought for a moment and said,” Yes, as long as Your Majesty promises that no ruler will be able to make things difficult for Jiang Zhennan and me in our lifetime! It’s so simple!”

Hearing Lin Yuelan’s words, Yuwen Longyan secretly sighed.

This girl said it was easy, but it was very difficult. It included surveillance, imprisonment, framing, and so on.

Was this still simple?

However...

Yuwen Longyan thought for a moment and said,” Alright, girl, I promise you! Uh, girl, what are you doing?”

“I’m helping you grind the ink!” Lin Yuelan walked to Longyan’s table and took the inkstone and black ink on the table. She began to grind the ink and said,”

No promise is more important than a piece of paper, especially Your Majesty.

Your imperial edict is the most important!”

Yuwen Longyan was speechless.

In the end, he could only smile and take the brush from Lin Yuelan. Then, he took a blank imperial edict and wrote down the promise.

As soon as Yuwen Longyan put down his pen, footsteps came from outside.

Then, he heard Eunuch Zhang say,” General, you’re here!”

Today, there was a sudden wave of rumors in the capital.

“l heard that the Great General’s wife is a bloodthirsty female thug! They had not even moved into the Duke’s estate yet, and they had already beaten the servants of the Duke’s estate to death! More than half of the hundred people in the Duke’s estate had died, and the rest were seriously injured. It was still unknown whether they could survive.”

“What?” The person who listened was shocked.” This... How was this possible? So many people died?”

“Didn’t you see the people coming out of Duke’s estate today? All of them were injured. Moreover, according to them, their injuries were light. There were dozens of people in the estate who were seriously injured and could not get up! The rest did not come back to life.”

“Is there really such a thing?” The person next to her was surprised, but then he said angrily,” If that’s the case, then the General’s wife is really too much.

How could she be so vicious?”

“l heard that she was conferred the title of ‘Princess’ by the Emperor.. She can do whatever she wants with her status as a princess!”
