Chapter 282 Awakening in the middle of the night
When Lin Junxue heard Xie Yu's words, her expression did not improve at all.
She forced a very reluctant smile and sighed softly.
"Your Majesty is right. Perhaps I haven't seen my brother for many years and I missed him so much that I had a nightmare. I wonder how my father and brother are doing at the border. Have they changed?"
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue with nostalgic eyes, his eyes slightly deep.
The father and son of the Lin family have been stationed at the border for many years and have made great contributions. They are meritorious officials.
However, the Lin family controls one-third of the dynasty's military forces, and their prestige among the people is even greater than that of the emperor.
How could he tolerate it?
As an emperor, he absolutely could not tolerate the growing prestige of the Lin family.
If the father and son of the Lin family really had any inappropriate thoughts one day, it would be extremely dangerous.
Therefore, he could not gamble whether the Lin family would one day become ambitious enough to rebel.
In the future, he will only feel at ease if the Lin family is convicted and the military power is taken back.
Xie Yu put away his thoughts, took a sip of tea, and asked casually, "Jun'er, in the past few years, have you never received any letters from your father and brother?"
Lin Junxue shook her head, with no abnormal expression on her face.
"Your Majesty, after I entered the palace, my father and brother went to war over the years, and no letters have been sent to my Zhonghe Palace. Naturally, I miss them. In fact, to be honest with Your Majesty, on the day I was crowned Queen, my father and brother told me that they would not send me any letters in the future, and only asked me to do my duties as Queen and not to worry about them."
As she spoke, Lin Junxue started to cry. Qiao Xin quickly handed over the handkerchief, and Lin Junxue took it.
"I miss my father and brother so much that I can't control my emotions. I'm sorry to make you laugh, Your Majesty."
Xie Yu waved his hand, Lin Junxue stood up, walked to Xie Yu and sat down
Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue with deep eyes.
"Jun'er, don't cry. In five years, your father and brother will be able to pacify the border for me. When they return to the court in triumph, I will definitely reward them handsomely."
Hearing this, Lin Junxue lowered her head slightly, her eyes slightly narrowed, and a hint of deep thought flashed in her eyes.
Five years?
It seems that Xie Yu intends to use the Lin family father and son to quell the war on the border.
Finally, Xie Yu used the name of reward to frame some crimes with certain means to wipe out the Lin family.
Xie Yu, ah Xie Yu, you are really calculating.
This is to use up a person completely and then destroy him. This person's heart is really dark and vicious to the extreme.
Lin Junxue said softly, "Your Majesty, my father and brother have spent their entire lives fighting on the battlefield, determined to serve you and the dynasty, and to protect the safety of the people. These are what my father and brother should do. Your Majesty, please do not ask for a heavy reward, lest it arouse jealousy. My father and brother are upright in character, and even the most valuable reward is nothing more than a possession to them."
Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "Jun'er, don't worry. Who dares to be jealous of my reward? It's what your father and brother deserve. Don't refuse. Okay, I won't accompany you today. Come back in the evening."
Lin Junxue stood up
"Since Your Majesty has political affairs to attend to, please go back first. The weather is cold and the road is slippery. You must ask the servants who carry the dragon chariot to be careful."
As he spoke, Lin Junxue looked at Gao Cheng, and Gao Cheng hurried forward with the cloak in his hand.
Lin Junxue took the cloak from Gao Cheng's hand, put it on Xie Yu herself, and finally tied the belt.
"The Emperor is so handsome"
Xie Yu reached out his hand, gently pinched Lin Junxue's nose, and said with a smile, "You are just sweet-mouthed."
Lin Junxue rubbed her nose, and spoke with a very serious expression.
"Your Majesty, what I said is all true."
Lin Junxue's serious expression and admiring eyes immediately pleased Xie Yu and made him very happy. When he left, there was a smile in the corner of his eyes.
Lin Junxue sent Xie Yu to the door, watched him go away, turned around and returned to the bedroom.
Lin Junxue called Danzhen and whispered something in her ear. The more Danzhen listened, the wider her eyes opened.
evening
Xie Yu arrived at Zhonghe Palace, had dinner, and then went to bed.
Maybe it was because Lin Junxue had chest pain during the day and her face didn’t look very good.
Xie Yu did not let her sleep with him. Instead, he held her in his arms and fell asleep.
midnight
Xie Yu heard Lin Junxue screaming beside him while he was sleeping.
"No, brother, don't get into trouble, brother, save people, save them quickly"
Xie Yu woke up with a start, turned around, and saw Lin Junxue in a nightmare, with sweat on her forehead and a frightened look on her face, as if she had had a nightmare.
Xie Yu quickly woke up Lin Junxue, "Jun'er, wake up, I'm here, wake up"
Next second
Lin Junxue suddenly opened her eyes wide. When she opened them, her eyes were dull and out of focus, and her face was paler than in the daytime.
Lin Junxue paused for two seconds before realizing that she was having a nightmare.
She turned her head to look at Xie Yu beside her, and immediately threw herself into Xie Yu's arms, stretched out her hands, and hugged his waist tightly, her body trembling slightly.
"Your Majesty, I dreamed of my brother again. His face was covered in blood. He asked me for help, asking me to save him. No matter how hard I tried, I couldn't touch him. I was so scared. Brother, brother, has something happened to him, Your Majesty?"
When Xie Yu heard Lin Junxue's words, he felt her fear and his eyes became deep.
If it was a one-day nightmare, it would be just a coincidence, but Jun'er had nightmares for two consecutive days. Could it be that something really happened to Lin Xuxuan? Is he sick?
Jun'er and Lin Xuxuan have a deep brother-sister relationship, so Lin Xuxuan appeared in her dream. This is not impossible.
Thinking of this, Xie Yu's face turned even uglier. Even if he wanted to take action against the Lin family, it would not be now.
Lin Xuxuan is a fierce general. Now the border is not stable yet, and the father and son of the Lin family are still needed to guard the border. Lin Xuxuan cannot get into trouble.
Lin Junxue looked at Xie Yu without saying anything and guessed what he was thinking?
Then, Lin Junxue spoke again with a trembling voice.
"Your Majesty, my brother and I are from the same mother and have had telepathy since childhood. Perhaps my brother is really sick, otherwise why would I have dreamed of him for two consecutive days, covered in blood and lying in bed? I am so scared."
Xie Yu came back to his senses, lowered his head, looked at Lin Junxue in his arms, and comforted her.
"Jun'er, it won't happen. Xuxuan has been fighting on the battlefield for many years. He is brave and powerful. It is not something that ordinary people can hurt. Maybe he is sick and the soldiers are not taking good care of him. Nothing will happen. If there is really something wrong, there will be an expedited letter sent to the palace. Don't be afraid."
Lin Junxue grabbed Xie Yu's pajamas and looked up again, her eyes were already full of tears.
Xie Yu's heart softened and he reached out to wipe Lin Junxue's tears, but Lin Junxue still shook her head.
"No, Your Majesty, my brother must be ill. There is no one around to take care of him. Unfortunately, my sister-in-law is pregnant and it is not even three months yet. The fetus is unstable and it is not convenient for her to travel long distances. Otherwise, my sister-in-law can go to the border to see my brother and take care of his daily life. Then I can rest assured."
Xie Yu's eyes flashed
Ye Yushuang is less than three months pregnant and the fetus is unstable.
If so, he would use Jun'er's nightmare as an excuse to order Ye Yushuang to go to the border to take care of Lin Xuxuan.
Ye Yushuang had traveled a thousand miles and if she slipped, that was her own business.
