I traveled through time with my best friend.

Chapter 205 I like Jiang Xue.

Lin Yiyi tensed up her nerves, looked at Jiang Jian, and said with a smile: "Nothing can be hidden from uncle."

Jiang Jian smiled helplessly and said, "Since Xue'er returned to the capital, everything has gone wrong. On one side is the Queen Mother, and on the other side is King Cheng. There has been news from the palace that the Queen Mother is doomed, so the only person who can touch Xue'er at this moment is King Cheng."

Lin Yiyi lowered her eyebrows and smiled without saying anything. Jiang Jian looked at Lin Yiyi and sighed, "Alas, it is me who is sorry for Xueer. I sent her to Baishan when she was very young, which caused her to be in this situation now."

"Uncle, please don't say that. You are also considering Xue'er's health. King Cheng wants Xue'er to be his queen, so Xue'er's life will not be in danger for the time being."

Jiang Jian nodded in relief after hearing this. Thinking of the fake Jiang Xue in the prison, he became worried again. "In the current situation, Cheng Wang has the initiative. He wants the fake Jiang Xue to become the murderer, and then..."

Jiang Jian stopped talking, a look of disbelief flashed in his eyes, he looked at Lin Yiyi and said: "He wants Xue'er to..."

Lin Yiyi also suddenly realized and followed Jiang Jian’s words, “He wants Xue’er to not be Jiang Xue from the General’s Mansion!”

Jiang Jian's eyes flashed with coldness, and he said in a cold voice: "This King Cheng actually wanted to replace the pillars under the noses of so many people. Does he think that this general is dead?"

Lin Yiyi frowned, she always felt that this matter was a bit strange. It turned out to appear here. She couldn't help but admire Li Lingxuan's scheming. Most people would not be able to do such a thing without confidence.

"Uncle, please don't be angry. I will definitely rescue Xue'er, and King Cheng's plan will not succeed."

Jiang Jian looked at Lin Yiyi with a determined face. He had a rough idea of what the others had done outside, and he also knew that Lin Yiyi now had such ability.

His legs and feet are not convenient now, which hinders him from doing anything. Now he can't help at all.

Finally, he could only say worriedly: "King Cheng is thoughtful, you must be careful."

"Uncle, I understand. I'll take you back to rest first."

"Okay." Jiang Jian forced a smile on his somewhat old face.

The next day.

early morning.

Li Lingchen sat on the high seat with a serious face, while Hong Fu next to him was reading the imperial edict.

"The Queen Mother has issued an order. As I am ill, I will no longer be in charge of government from today. All court affairs will be handled by Your Majesty."

After Hong Fu finished reading it, the officials below were surprised and looked at each other, none of them understood why the empress dowager would suddenly give up power.

There was a chorus of surprise from the audience.

Li Lingchen's voice sounded with majesty, "Alright, the Queen Mother is ill, I am very worried, from now on, I will recruit good doctors and do my best to treat the Queen Mother."

With just a few simple words, the doubts in the court were stopped, and everyone bowed and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."

It was hard to tell whether Li Lingchen's expression was good or bad. Seeing that Li Lingchen didn't say anything else, Hong Fu shouted to the audience in a shrill voice: "If you have something to say, please report it. If not, please leave!"

"Yes."

The Queen Mother gave up power for no reason. Some people were terrified, some were happy, and some were gossiping. No one had the heart to attend court at this time.

After the court was dismissed, many people began to use their connections to find out what had happened to the Queen Mother.

Chaozheng Palace.

Hong Fu respectfully reported, "Your Majesty, after the court session, some ministers began to ask people in the harem, and Concubine An was the first to go to Yixiang Palace."

Li Lingchen looked a little unhappy, frowning slightly, and said directly: "Pass the decree down, Concubine An disturbed the Queen Mother, causing the Queen Mother's condition to worsen. From now on, she will be demoted to a talented person, punished with six months of service and confined to her house for three months. If anyone dares to disturb the Queen Mother again, I will never forgive her easily."

Hong Fu's expression changed, and he immediately bent down and nodded, "Yes."

After Hong Fu quickly left, Pei Zhijin walked in from outside.

"Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!" Pei Zhijin bowed.

Li Lingchen raised his hand slightly, and when he saw that it was Pei Zhijin, his expression instantly became serious, and he said softly: "Get up."

"Yes."

Pei Zhijin raised his head and saw Li Lingchen's serious expression. He knew it was inappropriate to talk about Jiang Xue at this time, but he was extremely anxious and could not just break into the palace, so he could only come to see His Majesty.

Without waiting for Pei Zhijin to speak, Li Lingchen stood up, picked up a memorial on the table, and walked towards Pei Zhijin.

"This is King Cheng's memorial. Please take a look."

Pei Zhijin frowned, reached out to take the memorial and opened it with some doubt.

After a moment, Pei Zhijin closed the memorial heavily, looked at Li Lingchen and said, "Your Majesty, Brother Gu saved my life, and Miss Han is Brother Gu's beloved woman. There is no love between us."

"Alas." Li Lingchen sighed slightly and said, "Of course I know that you don't like Miss Han. This is what King Cheng did on purpose. Now that the Queen Mother has given up power, I thought the matter would come to an end, but I didn't expect King Cheng to...Alas..."

Li Lingchen stopped talking, but Pei Zhijin asked, "Your Majesty already knows about Jiang Xue?"

"Yes." Li Lingchen put his hands behind his back, "King Cheng has expressed his feelings to me. He wants Jiang Xue to be his queen, and you..."

Pei Zhijin clenched his fists and said, "Your Majesty, I will not take care of Miss Han in any capacity. I came here today to tell Your Majesty that the person I like is also Jiang Xue."

Li Lingchen frowned and asked in surprise: "You like her?"

"Yes."

Li Lingchen looked gloomy and was in a dilemma. On one side was his younger brother, and on the other side was his brother. They both liked the same person. What should he do?

Li Lingchen looked at Pei Zhijin uncertainly and asked again and again: "Are you really in love with her?"

"Yes."

"But didn't you say she was just a chess piece? How could you fall in love with a chess piece?"

Pei Zhijin was stunned for a moment, then his expression became depressed, and he said: "I know I shouldn't be emotionally attached to a chess piece, but... I am attracted to her."

Pei Zhijin spoke every word seriously, but his heart began to ache violently because of his emotion. He could only endure it silently. Although he could not be moved, he still wanted to try his best to taste the feeling of being moved.

Soon, Pei Zhijin's handsome face was covered with a thin layer of sweat.

Li Lingchen looked at Pei Zhijin's expression and nodded helplessly, saying: "I will not interfere in the matter between you and King Cheng, but...you can't go too far."

Pei Zhijin bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Go down."

Pei Zhijin bowed slightly and prepared to leave. Li Lingchen's voice sounded again, "Zhijin, a murder case similar to that five years ago has occurred in the capital recently. You must feel...uncomfortable, right?"

Pei Zhijin's body trembled slightly, and he nodded slightly with his back to Li Lingchen.
