Your Younger Brother Bows and Begs You, Empress Dowager, for Blessings and Peace

When the emperor learns that the Fourth Prince, Jing Qing, has been seizing land in the southwest, he flies into a rage. To save himself, Jing Qing doesn’t hesitate to abandon the Marquis of Wu’an, who has loyally supported him all along.

That naturally includes his childhood sweetheart, Lin Yanmo, the marquis’s legitimate daughter!

In the imperial prison, the crown prince deigns to offer the women of the marquis’s household a way to survive.

“Miss Lin, the day the decree arrives is the day you enter the Crown Prince’s residence as a servant. Remember, for the rest of your life!”

Lin Yanmo bows respectfully. “This servant will obey Your Highness’s words.”

Two years later, the emperor dies and the crown prince ascends the throne. Lin Yanmo is made a consort.

Three years after that, the emperor overrules all opposition and personally names Lin Yanmo empress.

In the imperial study, Jing Qing falls to his knees. “Your Majesty, I humbly wish Your Majesty the Empress a long and happy life!”

Lin Yanmo pulls out a handkerchief, glances back with a smile, and says, “Your Majesty, he’s calling me Empress Sister-in-Law?”

The emperor curls his lips and sweeps her into his arms, seating her on the dragon throne. “If you don’t like it, shall I have him beheaded?”
