Lin Qingyuan pulled down the blinds and sighed softly. She felt refreshed and energetic.

Long Chi had been deposed and lost his title of Crown Prince. Lu Yunshuang would surely be unable to accept this. Lin Qingyuan wondered what was left for Lu Yunshuang to rely on now.

She was eagerly waiting to witness the downfall of Lu Yunshuang.

Just as she was thinking about how Lu Yunshuang was now in a terrible predicament, the shutters in her carriage were suddenly yanked open.

Her father, Lin Zhenshu, bent slightly to enter the carriage.

“Father?” She looked at him with slight surprise.

Her mother was pregnant and did not come along to the Autumn Hunt this time. Meanwhile, her father had been riding his horse, which was why she had been sitting alone in the carriage.

Her father had suddenly entered the carriage and sat down. She was not sure what was on his mind.

Lin Zhenshu chose to sit down opposite his daughter and he gave her a rather complicated look.

He knew very well that she had gotten very close to the Empress recently.

He wondered if this was a good or bad thing.

He was silent for a while before suddenly asking, “What do you think of everything that happened over the past two days?”

Lin Qingyuan was taken aback. She had never expected her father to ask her such affairs.

She knew what events he was referring to.

She paused a little before saying, “Father, don’t get involved with taking sides. If you really need to pick a side, pick the Empress’.”

Lin Zhenshu frowned at her. “What do you mean?”

Lin Qingyuan went closer to him and said in a low voice, “The Empress has only been in the Palace for a short time, and don’t you know what happened to those concubines in the end? Of course, what happened to them had nothing to do with Her Highness. His Majesty was the one who wanted to clear out the imperial harem for her. As for the Crown Prince being deposed, it would have happened sooner or later. Although I didn’t expect it to be so soon.”

“His Majesty had deposed the Crown Prince for the Empress?” Lin Zhenshu raised an eyebrow.

Lin Qingyuan hugged his arm and said, “You have no idea how much His Majesty dotes on the Empress. The title of Crown Prince would definitely belong to the Empress’ son in the future. He is the only one who is allowed to take the title.”

Lin Zhenshu went deep into thought when he heard this.

Quite some time passed before he continued, “Don’t you think you are being too confident when it comes to the Empress?”

“To be honest, Father, I am the Empress’ supporter. Nothing will go wrong by sticking to her,” Lin Qingyuan said firmly.

Lin Zhenshu had no idea how to respond to this.

He stared at his beautiful daughter opposite him for a long time and finally said, “There is a good opportunity now that the imperial harem is empty.”

Lin Qingyuan was snacking on some sunflower seeds when she almost choked at his words. “Cough, cough, cough…”

She coughed violently.

Startled, Lin Zhenshu quickly poured a cup of water for her.

Once she calmed down, he frowned and lectured her, “How can you still be so careless when you’re all grown up!”

Lin Qingyuan had tears in her eyes as she looked pitifully at him. “Father, your words were too shocking. Tell me honestly, do you no longer want me as a daughter now that Mother is pregnant?”

Lin Zhenshu was stunned. “What are you saying?”

“Well, you were saying something ridiculous!” Lin Qingyuan said with slight unhappiness.

“Have you forgotten what happened to the Prudence Consort and the Virtuous Consort? If I were to marry into the Palace, I would end up just like that. Father, are you trying to harm me with your suggestion?”

Lin Zhenshu sighed. “Aren’t you close with the Empress? If you can enter the Palace, won’t you have someone to take care of you?”

“Do you think I should enter the Palace and fight her for His Majesty just because I’m close to her? His Majesty doesn’t like me anyway, and I don’t like him either. You shouldn’t repeat those words you said today, otherwise, the Empress might have a falling out with me and maybe even get the Lin Family in trouble. If that happens, it will be the end of your career.” Lin Qingyuan had never expected that her Father would harbor such a thought.

He must be tired of living!
