Lian'er listened to Lin Qingqing talking to herself and felt that Concubine Xian might have gone crazy.

She lowered her head and said nothing, thinking she was half dead, until Lin Qingqing said to her coldly, "Go to the Ministry of Revenue and find my father. I want to see him."

Lian Er was silent for a moment, then said softly, "Several adults have already gone to the Ministry of Revenue, but Master Lin has always refused to see them. If I go again, I'm afraid..."

"No matter what you think of, I must see my father today," Lin Qingqing interrupted her, raised her chin with her hand, and looked down at her, "If I don't see my father, then you don't have to live."

Lian'er took a deep breath and said in a deep voice, "Yes, I will definitely invite Master Lin to come."

She got up and walked out of the palace. She first went to Lanyin Palace. She could not see Lin Jiuqing, but she still saw Yingyue beside Lin Jiuqing. After saying a few words, Lian'er turned around and hurried to the Ministry of Revenue.

When they arrived at the Ministry of Revenue, they found it was closed as expected. The lights were still on inside, but no matter how Lian'er knocked on the door, the person inside did not answer.

Lian'er pursed her lips, and could only kneel down at the door with a plop, and shouted: "Your servant Lian'er, begs to see Master Lin."

After shouting three times, the person inside still didn't move at all, obviously not wanting to see Lian'er.

Lian'er was helpless and could only say: "Master Lin has watched Lian'er grow up since she was a child. Lian'er dares to ask Master Lin to have mercy on Lian'er this time. If Master Lin is unwilling to see Lian'er, then Lian'er's life may not be saved."

In the room, Minister Lin sat behind the desk. The account book spread out on the table had been stuck on this page for a long, long time.

A younger official followed him, glanced outside the door, and asked softly, "Master Lin, are you really gone?"

Lian'er is a person close to Concubine Xian, and Minister Lin has always loved this daughter.

Minister Lin closed his eyes for a long time before opening them. He looked at the young man beside him and said slowly, "It's not that I won't see you, it's that I can't see you."

As he said this, his eyes were bloodshot and he looked much older and tired.

The young man was startled and said softly, "Everyone knows that Lord Lin loves his daughter dearly. If Lord Lin wants to see her, it's not..."

Minister Lin shook his head and said firmly, "No."

The young man stopped talking and just stared at Minister Lin.

"Your Majesty is clear about rewards and punishments, and he appoints people based on their merits. He is a rare wise ruler." Minister Lin pursed his lips and said word by word, "He has only been on the throne for a short time, but he has already surpassed his predecessors and created great achievements that will last for generations. Such a person has every bone in his body hard."

Minister Lin smiled bitterly, his voice much lighter: "Qingqing has been spoiled by me. She is too self-willed. She doesn't know that except me, no one will respond to her every request. She has been too smooth sailing, which has led to her developing this paranoid character. She must get what she wants. But she doesn't know that she is no longer a girl in the boudoir, not someone's jewel in the palm, she is the concubine of His Majesty, she must understand what it means to be with the emperor like a tiger!"

"She wants me to use this as an excuse to achieve her goal... This is simply impossible. If I really go to see her, I'm afraid the entire Lin family will be implicated."

If he stayed in the Ministry of Revenue honestly today and did not get involved in anything, then His Majesty would certainly understand the righteousness of the matter and would still use him and treat everyone in the Lin family well.
