Happy Emperor

Chapter 118 Three Women, One Drama

But Lin Tian has not yet obtained any actual evidence of Lin Zhen's collusion with Yanyu Pavilion.

Even if Situ Ming, Zhen Niumeng and others were controlled at that time, it would be of no use.

Those are just minor roles.

As long as Lin Zhen refuses to admit it, Lin Tian will have no choice.

Besides, Lin Tian couldn't do that at that time.

Because after alerting the enemy, Lin Zhen will hide even deeper.

Even if he could persuade King Pingdong to surrender, it would still be difficult to get rid of Lin Zhen without King Pingdong's help.

But as long as Lin Zhen exists, he will be a hidden danger sooner or later.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about it anymore, let's take it one step at a time."

Lin Tian rubbed his temples with his hands and thought to himself.

He also wanted to say goodbye to the Queen and others. He didn't know if he could come back alive after leaving.

"Eunuch Cao, set up the harem."

Lin Tian whispered an order to Eunuch Cao beside him.

"According to the order."

After Lin Tian traveled through time, he spent most of his time walking back and forth in the palace.

He was a little uncomfortable with being served by others.

Not long after, the dragon chariot was ready.

"Your Majesty, shall we go to that lady's chamber?"

Eunuch Cao stood under the dragon chariot and asked in a low voice.

Lin Tian then remembered that he had only said that he was going to the harem, but had not yet said where specifically he was going.

"The Queen's side in Kunning Palace."

Lin Tian thought about it and replied.

After a while, they arrived outside Kunning Palace.

Lin Tian got off the dragon chariot, and the eunuch Cao beside him shouted as usual, "The emperor has arrived."

Then the eunuchs in the queen's bedroom started shouting, and their voices spread like drums and flowers, reaching the inner room.

Lin Tian smiled and shook his head, then strode inside.

He really couldn't understand why there were such useless rituals in ancient times.

Is it to prevent the emperor's wife from having an affair and to avoid the embarrassment of being caught in bed by the emperor?

"Welcome Your Majesty."

Lin Tian didn't wait to walk into the room.

Then I saw Queen Ji Lan, An Cai'er and Batu Jin walking out of the room together.

Of course, there is also the little girl Lin Ruxue.

However, when she saw Lin Tian coming, she greeted him and left tactfully.

"Get up, why are you guys all here?"

Lin Tian asked a few people with a smile as he walked.

"I just came back from His Majesty's visit, and we went to my sister's room to discuss some things."

An Caier's eyes were a little misty and she replied in a low voice.

"Discuss something? Do you have any secrets to hide from me?"

Lin Tian sat down on the main seat and asked with a relaxed smile.

He could clearly see that the three of them were in a bad mood.

Moreover, An Caier's eyes were a little red, as if she had been crying.

"Your Majesty, are you going to lead your army into battle tomorrow?"

An Caier's voice was choked with sobs as she tried hard to hold back her tears.

"Sister Cai'er!"

Ji Lan hurriedly reminded her, "The harem is not allowed to interfere in government affairs."

Although Batujin didn't say anything, he looked at Lin Tian with concern, waiting for an answer.

Lin Tian looked at the three beauties and waved to the servants around him.

After everyone had left, he slowly spoke.

"I am not only the emperor of Daxia, but also your husband."

Lin Tian stood up, walked to An Caier, put his hand on her face and gently wiped away her tears.

He pretended to be relaxed and said with a smile, "You are worried about my safety, but I will not blame you for it. What did you discuss just now? Tell me."

"Your Majesty, could you please not go to the battlefield? Even if you only defend these three provinces, you are still my emperor."

An Cai'er leaned on Lin Tian's arms and pleaded in a low voice with sobs: "Swords on the battlefield are blind, I am afraid..."

The other two did not speak, but looked at Lin Tian with anticipation.

"You two think so too?"

Lin Tian did not answer An Caier's words, but looked at Batu Jin and Ji Lan and asked in a deep voice.

"Yes." Batujin nodded slightly, then shook his head hurriedly.

"I know you are a sage monarch of all ages, and you will certainly not watch Daxia divided like this. I agree with your majesty's campaign to unify Daxia, but..."

Batujin has been well-read since childhood and is not satisfied with the current situation of Daxia.

Her thoughts were definitely different from An Caier's. How could she possibly agree with Emperor Li being content with being in one of the three provinces and not striving for progress?

"Go on, I'm listening."

"But what Sister Cai'er said makes sense. On the battlefield, swords are merciless. I'm afraid Your Majesty will get hurt. Even..."

Batujin mustered up his courage and said, "The three of us have yet to give birth to a son for Your Majesty. If Your Majesty... we will be sinners for eternity."

"Hahaha."

Lin Tian laughed loudly, looked at Batu Jin and asked, "Do you mean to wait until you have children before I go to unify Daxia?"

"That's not what I meant." Batujin blushed slightly. "I know it was Prince Pingdong who wanted the Northern Expedition, and Your Majesty had no choice. It's just...it's just that Your Majesty could command the troops from Shengjing instead of leading them in person. In ancient times, not all emperors would personally participate in wars."

"Okay, I know what you mean."

"What about the Queen? Do you agree with Cai'er's idea or Jin'er's idea?"

Lin Tian is now starting to feel a little overwhelmed.

No wonder ancient emperors did not allow the harem to interfere in politics.

Even if these "bedside companions" did not seek personal gain for their own families, their suggestions one by one would be enough to give the emperor a headache.

Of course, this doesn’t mean that all women in the harem are incompetent.

Let’s not talk about Wu Zetian for now, there are also Empress Ma who was beside Emperor Taizu of the Ming Dynasty, Empress Dowager Xiaozhuang of the Qing Dynasty, etc.

If these people were male, they would have been high-ranking officials in ancient times.

"I and my two sisters have different ideas."

Ji Lan whispered.

"different?"

Lin Tian smiled bitterly and thought to himself.

It’s really a drama involving three women!

"So you agree that I should lead the army in person?"

"I agree. Although I don't know why Your Majesty would take the risk of personally going to the battlefront, since Your Majesty has made this decision, you must have your reasons."

After listening to this, Lin Tian nodded with satisfaction.

Queen Ji Lan has always done a good job in this regard.

Although she was unable to offer advice and suggestions by his side, she would silently support him in everything.

Take the incident of the Northern Huan cavalry’s night attack on the imperial palace that day for example.

The incident happened suddenly at that time, and the queen didn't know why everyone was gathered in the cold palace, but as soon as Lin Tian's order arrived.

She started organizing without saying a word.

The Queen played an indispensable role in gathering all the harem together so quickly that day.

Moreover, Lin Tian also heard that a fight broke out outside that day.

Because the noise of the muskets was so loud, there was some commotion inside the cold palace, and some people wanted to open the door and escape.

It was also the Queen's organization that calmed the people down.

Being able to remain calm in the face of danger and share the worries of men.

Ji Lan can definitely be said to be a 'good woman'.
