Chapter 2051: Finale
Because of Lin Yuelan, Longyan Country had long built a cement road. The road was smooth and flat. The journey that took half a month in the past could now be reached in three to five days!
Lin Yuelan and Jiang Zhennan’s pupils constricted when they heard that. Then, they frowned.
Zhou Wencai continued,” The late Emperor was injured. When he passed away, His Majesty strictly forbade him from giving orders. He sealed off the news and prevented it from reaching your ears, Princess.”
There was a lot of information in those words. Zhou Wencai couldn’t say for sure what His Majesty’s goal was, but from the looks of it, it was probably to deal with Lin Yuelan.
He didn’t dare to use his real identity to pass the message, so he could only pretend to be Liu Jiaying’s maid.
Lin Yuelan’s eyes turned fierce when she heard such important news. Then, she said seriously,” Yes, I understand. Thank you for taking such a huge risk to inform us. I, Lin Yuelan, will remember your kindness!”
Zhou Wencai shook his head and said,” Princess, if it weren’t for you back then, I wouldn’t be the person I am now, much less the wealth of the Zhou family. And Jiaying and I are getting married, thanks to you. I’ve always remembered your kindness. I hope that one day, I can repay you!”
He had already become a third-grade official, and the new Zhou family had gradually become a noble family. It was no longer like before, where it was just a vassal of the original Zhou family.
Originally, Lin Yuelan arranged for him to take an official career just to help her take care of her business.
However, unexpectedly, Lin Yuelan became acquainted with the former emperor in a single leap and even became the adopted daughter of the former emperor. She was conferred the title of Princess Gu. He could not help at all. On the contrary, Lin Yuelan secretly took care of him and the Zhou family.
Liu Jiaying said excitedly,” Sister, we can’t repay you for your kindness to me, Liu Jiaying, and my husband. This time, big sister might be in trouble. Even if I have to risk my life, I have to see big sister safe and sound.”
Six hours had passed, but the Emperor still did not move!
In the temple hall, the old nanny beside the Empress Dowager said,” Your Majesty, His Majesty has been kneeling outside for six hours. Kneeling down like this will damage his dragon body.”
The empress dowager closed her eyes and said calmly,” If he wants to kneel, then kneel. If he doesn’t want to kneel, then leave!”
The old nanny shook her head and did not try to persuade her.
She did not know what had happened between the empress dowager and the emperor, which would have made the empress dowager refuse to see the emperor.
Six hours later, the doors of the temple hall finally opened. A palace maid came over and said,” Your Majesty, the Empress Dowager has invited Your Majesty in!”
The Emperor was pleasantly surprised. He wanted to stand up as soon as he left, but he had been kneeling for too long, making his head dizzy. However, he quickly returned to normal.
The moment he entered, he knelt before the empress dowager and said,” My son pays his respects to mother!”
The empress dowager only said lightly,” If you have something to say, just say it!” She did not show any love for her son at all.
The Emperor hesitated for a moment and looked at the others in the hall. Then, he ordered,” All of you may leave!”
“Yes, sir!”
His Majesty’s orders were the imperial edict.
Even the Empress Dowager’s people didn’t dare to disobey.
