escape to the end

Chapter 97. Secret and Great

Tonight is starry.

Lin Chi is three months pregnant, and the most dangerous days have passed, and her stomach has a slight bulge, although it will not start to affect activities, but it will indeed make people more careful.

She is like this, and Zhou Jin is even more like this.During this period of time, unless necessary, Zhou Jin would not leave Lin Chi easily. She guarded Lin Chi like a lion guarding its own territory.

Because of this, Lin Chi did not find the opportunity to implement his plan for a long time.

When the queen died, she was still young, at the age of sixteen or seventeen, and hadn't managed her own power yet, but she was very clear about the queen's underground power.

Because of this, she also has the same questions as the old prime minister.

□□ years ago, after the coup that shocked the government and the public, Lin Chi was temporarily imprisoned in the deep palace by Zhou Jin.She saw Zhou Jin kill her father with her own eyes, and soon after that she heard the news that her mother had also gone. She was sad and grieved, and many things were vague and she did not notice.

At that time, she wanted to escape from the palace, but she didn't even have a familiar confidant around her. Under Zhou Jin's instruction, all the capable palace people around her were replaced again, and those strange faces came and went in and out of her every day. The palace, however, did not listen to her commands at all. Although it took good care of her, no one dared to respond to her orders.

But even in such a predicament, Lin Chi had successfully persuaded a palace servant to help her escape. Although she did not escape that time, the news that the palace servant spread outside the palace finally reached the empress who was hiding in the dark. In the hands of the party, after that, there was the escape across the stars.

During those days, Lin Chi had been imprisoned. She couldn't hear the news from the outside world, and naturally she didn't know what was going on between the ruling and opposition parties at that time.Later, with a breath of unwillingness, she joined her loyal subordinates who came to rescue her, and boarded the transport ship bound for the Federation without daring to stop outside the palace, and she didn't even know what the current situation of Yaori was.

At that time, she took it for granted that Zhou Jin had spent so much effort and killed so many members of the royal family, and her intention to usurp the throne had been revealed. In a few days, she would definitely ascend the throne when she completely cleared the court and the opposition.As for the loyal subordinates of her father and mother, they should have all been killed and exiled.

She was not mistaken, the fragmentation of the imperial party proved this point.

But...... Compared with the royalists who were vigorously suppressed, the queen's power has not been damaged at all, but has grown step by step in these years. In the current ruling and opposition parties, except for those who pledged their allegiance to Zhou Jin The military faction, and a large part of it is the queen's power.

After Lin Chi came back, he gradually found clues in various news.

When the queen mother passed away, she did not have time to receive her own power from the queen father and the queen mother, but she was raised by the queen since she was a child. Although the queen never taught her to plot, every time an important person asked to see her in private, or The video came, and the queen never avoided Lin Chi.Over the years, Lin Chi also knew how far the Queen's hand had been stretched and how deep her influence had been managed.

Just because he knew it, Lin Chi was deeply puzzled when he saw familiar faces sitting on some important positions in the court one after another.

It stands to reason that since Zhou Jin has ruthlessly wiped out the imperial party, she should not let the queen's power go. But now it seems that she not only did not suppress these people, but reused them. This is the first doubt.

The second point of doubt is that if Lin Chi xx years ago could not understand how the queen can control people's hearts, then Lin Chi xx years later is definitely not like this. She knows how loyal the people who were loyal to her mother back then were. , But why after the queen passed away, these people didn't even have the slightest thought of avenging the queen, but they were willing to do things for the enemy who killed the master?This is very strange.If it is said that the queen believed in the wrong people back then, it is impossible for everyone to believe in the wrong people. Besides, many of these people have received the empress's great kindness. Some of them were promoted step by step by the queen from the bottom, and some It is the important family members who have received the favor of the empress... If such kindness can't be exchanged for even a little resistance, then there is no loyalty in this world.

In addition, there is the most puzzling point.

The queen has been in charge of Fengyin for more than [-] years, and has held the real power in the harem for more than [-] years. She has already managed the former emperor's harem as a monolith. If you secretly cultivate your own power with your own hands, then in the harem, it is undoubtedly the queen's world.Having been able to sit firmly in the back seat for so many years and single-handedly allowed Zhou Jin to be qualified to marry Lin Chi, this queen empress is undoubtedly not a fool.But after her death, the harem she had run for more than [-] years couldn't find anyone who dared to help the princess who was imprisoned in the deep palace. Is this normal?In such a huge harem, there are thousands of palace people in the palace, but there is not a single buried stake?There is not a palace guard to protect the lord?

This is also very abnormal.

But at that time, Lin Chi only had hatred in his heart, and only the child that Zhou Jinqiang "stuffed" into her belly ignored this abnormality.Now that I think about it, there are really doubts everywhere.

What kind of thinking does the queen mother have?

Lin Chi tempted Grandpa with words, but Grandpa didn't want to talk to her at all, so he resigned in a hurry. She didn't believe that this old man, known for his wisdom, couldn't see the prosperity of the power that once belonged to the queen over the years, and she didn't believe in people's hearts. It was so indifferent, those people, those who were willing to go through fire and water for the queen, were by no means such wolf-hearted people.

These days, the more Lin Chi investigated, the more frightened he became.She saw that the ministers of culture and governance that have emerged in recent years are almost all from the Queen's faction, and she also saw how convinced these people are of Zhou Jin's orders, as if...they have never taken refuge in Zhou Jin from the beginning to the end. The enemy, as if Zhou Jin was the one they really wanted to be loyal to!

How could her mother raise such a group of spineless subordinates?

This question has been planted since the news about Lin Hen was read on the miniature spaceship, and now he just needs a pair of hands to help Lin Chi clear the clouds and see the truth.

She had a hunch that once she uncovered the reason why these people who should not have betrayed their royal family were loyal to Zhou Jin, she would be able to find out the truth back then.

What was the truth back then?

What role does her mother play, the rumored virtuous and virtuous empress?

The more Lin Chi thought about it, he felt that there was a shocking secret hidden behind it.She knew how Zhou Jin respected her mother, and she also knew that her mother had been taking care of Zhou Jin. She used to think that it was because she was already engaged to Zhou Jin.

But... thinking about it now, I'm afraid it's not that simple.

Zhou Jin hasn't come back yet, she's getting more and more busy, busy handing over the elite troops guarding Japan's territory to Lin Chi, and busy commanding the war on planet a3, the Federation people are a little restless these days, there are already several troops Trying to land on star a3, even though the defense system on the first layer cannot be broken, it also shows that Zhou Jin has to speed up the pace of returning to a3.

Lin Chi stood in the yard waiting for Zhou Jin, and also waiting for someone's reply.After her grandfather left that time, she found a way to summon the old man several times, got an encrypted communication chip from him, and successfully connected with the person she wanted to contact the most through an unfamiliar network.

Originally, her most ideal helper was her grandfather, but for some reason, the old man has lost the desire to fight against Zhou Jin. These days, he has been persuading Lin Chi not to pursue what happened back then, but how could Lin Chi Can you let go?

She can only retreat and find another ally.

Liu Yuan, Master Liu.

If she remembers correctly, this lord has always been upright, and he was the one who led the way to protect her from the palace. She trusted him.

And she, in fact, only needs him to do one thing for her.

Looking at the watch that suddenly lit up, a smile appeared on the corner of Lin Chi's mouth.

There is a line of words on it: Your Highness, waiting for dispatch.

Got in touch.

Lin Chi's heart was half settled, and the moonlight fell behind her, as if comforting her. At this moment, she heard hurried footsteps. The sound was short and fast, and she knew it was Xiao Hen of.

The little girl should be chasing after Zhou Jin, who has a big stride, that's why she looks impatient, but Zhou Jin, she has always walked as silently as if she was stepping on cotton.

Lin Chi changed the chip, and sure enough, a woman with cold eyes appeared in front of her eyes. After a busy day, she was still in good spirits. Even her hair was not messed up in the slightest. The moonlight shone on her face. It showed her banished fairy-like face very clearly.

"A Chi."

"Auntie."

One big and one small spoke at the same time, it was the home Lin Chi was looking forward to, she stroked Xiao Hen's soft hair, and naturally stretched her other hand into Zhou Jin's, feeling the coolness of the woman.

"Why are you standing outside again? It's windy at night, and you should have a headache after blowing for a long time." Zhou Jin reached out to touch Lin Chi's forehead, and when she touched the cold, her thin lips pursed.

"How can I be so delicate?" Lin Chi shook his head, feeling that Zhou Jin was getting more and more nervous recently.

"Mom, let's go back quickly, the baby can't blow the wind." Lin Hen followed Zhou Jin's footsteps and scolded her mother.

Lin Chi smiled and said nothing.
