LINJIA VILLAGE, NEAR NORTH BORDER

Lin Yu, the former Princess Consort of the second Prince of Siam Empire, Prince Haii, killed himself before arriving at Yuan. He would rather choose death than be a slave of another Empire.

He admit, he admired Empress Han the most and respected him to the core, but he was silently against the idea.

Thinking that he died after drinking poison, Lin Yu woke up again, and he found out that he was already in the body of a lady from a village chief's family.

Lin Yue, the sickly lady, died after she got drowned in the river.

This lady had a habit of strolling in the riverbank to divert her boredom and if she missed her fiancé.

Lin Yu, former Princess Consort Lin, saw the memories of the former Lin Yue, which is why he found out that there was an Empress Regent named Lin Yu as well.

He is somewhat happy about the outcome.

He missed Yuli, but this is for the best.

Lin Yu was the apple of the eyes of her family, she was loved and pampered thus Lin Yu did not want to go back to claim that she was the real Consort Lin and not the one in the Palace.

What for? He already experienced the pain of loving a man who tends to have more wives and lost his attention.
He is contented with what he has now.

He has family, friends, and lover.

The lover was a second rank general of the Imperial Guards, Bo Lin.

After she got this body, she helped everyone much more her fiancé and showed her interest in the Empire.

Just recently, Lin Yu accepted a letter from her fiancé saying that she should be careful because the Palace opened a Concubine selection and all unmarried ladies should participate.

Though they are engaged, they are not bound in marriage yet, and a beauty like Lin Yu is at risk.

Lin Yu hid away when Imperial Guards roamed village by villages to get girls, which shocked her the most.

What happened to Emperor Ling?
She remembered when she met him in a banquet back then in Siam, he was kind and reserved. He is definitely not vulgar!

Lin Yu refused to believe it!

Emperor Ling was friends with Emperor Jong Sunwoo of Siam, so they had something in common, and that is, they are kind to their people.

But now, something is definitely off.

This suspicion was answered when Lin Yu strolled in the riverbank again after hiding from the Imperial Guards and found someone washed by the waters.

Out of curiosity, she approached and almost choked in shock when she saw it was the Emperor!

If Emperor Ling was here, who was that person snatching women in the villages?

An impostor?

Lin Yu opted to help Emperor Ling and call her shadow guard to carry him secretly.

As the only daughter of the village chief, Lin Yu is fortunate.

Linjia village is wealthy, and most of the Imperial Guards' families lived here.

"Mother!" She called out when she arrived, and her shadow guard already sent the Emperor to her chamber.

Madam Lin was pulled away even before she could even answer her daughter.

"An engaged lady like you behaves this preposterous way!" She reprimanded her but gently.

Eversince Lin Yu woke up after being drowned, she changed a lot bit this change even made her family happy.

"Mother! No matter what you see in my room, don't shout! I will explain everything, then we will send a secret letter to my fiancé. The people in the palace are probably in danger as we speak!"

Madam Lin frowned, "What's going on?"

Lin Yu pushed the door of her chamber, and it revealed the Emperor, who was already dry and cleaned.

The shadow guard did it, of course.

"Who is that man?! You are keeping a man in your chamber despite you are about to be married? You really had the guts?! Wait until I tell your father about this!" Madam Lin became furious.

"Mother, this is the Emperor!" Lin Yu hot frustrated.

Madam Lin's jaw almost dropped.

"H—he... what?!"

"I saw him unconscious in the riverbank. He was shot by an arrow on his leg. He was poisoned, but Lin Yi already handled it."

Lin Yi was the shadow guard.

Madam Lin was still stunned.
"H—how did you know he is the Emperor? Xiao Yue, don't be ridiculous."

"I just know! My fiancé secretly drew a portrait of him for me to see. Besides, we are near five villages away from the North border. The Emperor was probably assassinated and fell in the river, someone was posing as him thus this commotion happend! We need to warn Bo Lin!"

Bo Lin is the second rank general of the Imperial guards personally arranged by Emperor Ling right after he ascends to the throne. So his loyalty cemented to Emperor Ling only.

Of course, Lin Yu can not tell Madam Lin that she personally knows the Emperor. Hence, she won't stop asking.

"Then... then how is he?"

Madam Lin was still scared silly.

This is a matter of the Imperial family! This bigshot lying on her unmarried daughter's bed!

Lin Yu checked him, "For now, he is fine. Lin Yi already administered treatment. We will wait until he wakes up so we will know what to do. Mother, you should tell father about this but not to the other women."

The village chief has two concubines.
The first one was virtuos and kind, while the last one was a shrew and a trouble-maker, but Madam Lin subdued them with her benevolence.

After a few days of being unconscious, Emperor Ling woke up. Lin Yu filled him up with the information she gathered.

HEAVENLY HALL

"Your Majesty, Imperial Consort Lin declined Your Majesty's invitation."

Tang Xie, who was posing as the Emperor, sweeped the memorials on the table.

"That bitch!" He is beyond angry.

The only person he failed to get was Imperial Consort Lin.

Everything Emperor Ling had, he successfully got it.

From the Empire, Empress, throne, power, wealth, his harem had been slowly filled with beauties, he already created chaos to the ministers purposely destroying Emperor Ling's reputation.

But he failed on Imperial Consort Lin.

She is like a nut, so hard to crack.

He can not even enter Moon Palace if he wants to.

It was heavily guarded.

The 100 assassins Imperial Consort Lin got from Tang Sect was already brainwashed and now willing to die for her.

"Then, that leave me without a choice. Arrest the entire Lin and Chun family for treason, create evidences and pin the treason to Imperial Consort Lin. Arrest Honoured Concubine Chun as well for colluding with her. Imperial Consort Lin wanted to remain as the Empress Regent and get the throne. Thus, they need to be executed! Infiltrate Moon Palace and kill everyone who dares to stop you."

The general of the Imperial guards frowned.

Bo Lin, who was waiting on the side, frown as well.

This is not the normal thing to do.

Emperor Ling doted and loved Imperial Consort Lin to the core, resorting to this method, which will make her hate the Emperor.

Bo Lin finds a way to send a white pigeon with a secret coded letter to his fiancé. Lin Yu had a lot of ideas regarding this matter.
