Seeing Chu Huai's face of disbelief, Lin Yun knew that he had already believed him.
Lin Yun continued, "It is indeed unexpected, but it is the truth. The empress once joined the Shenxiao Sect as an honorary disciple and took the opportunity to curry favor with Shenxiao's connections. She also secretly befriended the Saintess of Guanghan Palace. Before anyone realized it, she had brought both major sects to her side.
Not only that, as a member of the Imperial Clan, she also won the recognition of the imperial elders. After the war, the Orthodox Sects did not want to weaken their strength through another civil conflict and were unwilling to fight to the death against the Imperial Clan. That's why they compromised, supported Zhao Lingyu's rise to power, and changed the dynasty to Great Qin."
Lin Yun explained with convincing details that stood up to scrutiny, and in the face of such an account, Chu Huai no longer doubted him. He was likely so shocked that he fell silent for a moment.
