Chapter 307: Concubine Lin regains favor
Ningyuxuan.
"The Queen's move is a brilliant one. She knows the truth has been exposed, and she wants the Emperor to let her go for the sake of the eldest princess."
Fanghua said hatefully, this queen is so cunning.
"Don't worry, she can't escape."
In the letter that the prince brought back last night, Qingyuer's people confirmed the news. Now, it depends on whether they can get in touch with Aunt Lanruo.
The people from the Ministry of Punishment acted quickly, but the key was that Xiu'e was afraid of death, and she told everything she knew before the people from the Ministry of Punishment started the execution.
This also includes the fact that Wang Yuan's mother gave Wang Yuan aphrodisiac incense and pregnancy-preserving medicine.
Wang Yuan was executed along with Xiu'e because she used the royal heir to murder the concubines in the harem.
Wang Yuan's family was also imprisoned because of their involvement in this matter.
Although it was later found out that only Wang Yuan's mother was involved, the emperor still issued an edict that Wang Yuan's entire family was exiled and was not allowed to return to Beijing for life.
Doctor Song was too old to stand the torture of the Ministry of Punishment, so he confessed that he had helped the empress to murder the eldest prince.
The emperor was furious and had the entire family of Imperial Physician Song executed, but his family was not implicated.
All the Queen's actions were reported to the Emperor by the Ministry of Punishment. The Emperor did not say anything, but the Kunning Palace had been under house arrest and there was no sign of the Queen being released.
Now the concubines are blessed. They no longer have to pay their respects to the queen early in the morning and can sleep until they wake up naturally.
It can be said that everyone in the harem was happy.
Qingyue Palace.
Concubine Lin has been very excited these days. The queen finally fell ill. This Concubine Huang is really worthy of her choice.
Look, didn’t she get what she wanted?
Now, she had to serve the emperor as quickly as possible and win his heart back to her. She had always believed that the emperor treated her differently.
"Aunt Yan, is the blood swallow I asked you to stew this morning ready?"
Concubine Lin asked.
"It's ready, Madam. Do you really want to send it to the Emperor? I heard that... the one sent by Concubine Du, the Emperor has never eaten it..."
Aunt Yan said worriedly.
The point is, she's worried it might backfire.
Is her queen too confident? After all, there is another concubine Huang in the harem who is more beautiful than the queen.
"Okay, go and bring it over. I know what I'm doing."
Concubine Lin knew what she was worried about. She didn't take the young Concubine Huang seriously.
She was able to escape this time because she was lucky and met the emperor who was strolling in the lotus pond.
How could a young concubine who had just entered the palace compare to the affection she had for the emperor for several years?
Lin Jieyu looked in the mirror. It had been a few years, but she seemed to have been forgotten by time. She was still as charming as she was a few years ago.
After putting the blood swallows brought by Aunt Yan into an exquisite food basket, Concubine Lin looked in the mirror again.
The person in the mirror was naturally good-looking, and Concubine Lin walked out of Qingyue Palace with full confidence.
The Hall of Nourishing Heart.
The emperor was holding a book and reading it, but only Eunuch Yu knew that the emperor had been holding the book for who knows how long and had not turned a page.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Lin is outside asking for an audience. She said she has brought food to Your Majesty."
Eunuch Yu reported carefully.
The emperor has been feeling upset these days. The queen is so vicious that she even teamed up with Imperial Physician Liu to attack the pregnant Concubine Yi, which led to the eldest prince's weak body.
To be honest, Eunuch Yu felt that if the Queen's crimes were considered serious, any death sentence would not be excessive.
But the queen is the eldest princess' biological mother. If the queen is pulled down...
The emperor obviously loved his children, but he was also afraid that the children would be sad, and for a moment he didn't know how to deal with the matter of the queen.
When Concubine Lin came over at this time, she didn't know what the emperor's attitude was.
The emperor was awakened from his thoughts by Eunuch Yu, and he was a little surprised.
"Lin Jieyu?"
"It's Concubine Lin. She said she came to bring food to the emperor."
The Emperor was obviously not in the right state of mind just now, so Eunuch Yu had to repeat it again.
"Xuan."
Xiao Yinzi walked to the gate with a smile and bowed to Concubine Lin.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor wants you to come in."
Concubine Lin smiled proudly. She knew that the emperor would not forget her. Now, she was the number one person in the harem.
As for the fact that Concubine Du is in power now, that is not a problem. A concubine who is not favored by the emperor can be manipulated in any way the emperor wants.
"Concubine, please see the emperor."
Putting down the food basket, Concubine Lin bowed to the emperor in a delicate manner.
Then she raised her head and looked at the emperor lovingly. No man could refuse the affection in her eyes.
"Get up."
The emperor looked at Concubine Lin with interest.
After all, she was the woman he once loved, so the emperor did not mind her coming to the Yangxin Palace. She had also been here a few years ago.
"I stewed blood swallows for His Majesty to nourish his body."
As Concubine Lin spoke, she took out the blood swallows from the food basket.
"Your Majesty, please eat it while it's hot."
Concubine Lin scooped a spoonful and handed it to the emperor's mouth.
When Eunuch Yu saw this situation, he knew what was going on. He quickly stepped out and stood outside the door.
This Concubine Lin is a scheming person. It seems that she feels that she has no chance of becoming the queen, so she might as well try for that position.
In the inner hall, the emperor looked at the blood swallow that Concubine Lin handed to his mouth.
If she didn't want to eat, Concubine Lin would be reluctant to refuse her kindness.
If he ate it, he felt that it would definitely not be as delicious as the food sent by the yellow leaves.
The emperor's taste has become more sophisticated and he is no longer interested in ordinary food.
Seeing Concubine Lin looking at him eagerly, the emperor reluctantly opened his mouth and swallowed the spoonful of blood swallow.
He felt that the blood swallow had a strange smell, and he didn't like the smell anyway.
Seeing Concubine Lin scoop up another spoonful, the emperor waved his hand.
"I don't really like eating these things, you can eat them yourself."
Concubine Lin was a very smart person and she knew very well that the emperor didn't like to eat it.
She quickly put down the bowl and picked up the handkerchief beside her to wipe the emperor's mouth.
"It's all my fault. I am also worried about the emperor's health..."
Concubine Lin put on a shy look.
"I have been well for half a year now, and Your Majesty has never visited me once, Your Majesty..."
The emperor knew what she meant. His heart warmed. He stood up and took her hand. The two of them walked towards the Qingyue Palace hand in hand.
The news that Concubine Lin had regained favor spread throughout the harem in a short time, and even the empress who was confined in Kunning Palace knew about it.
Kunning Palace.
"Lin Jieyu, seeing that I'm in a bad situation, she's jumping up and down again. Nanny Yang, go get Lan Ruo over here. I have something to ask her."
Since the queen was confined to her house, she has been sitting almost all day long, and even the eldest princess rarely sees her.
Nanny Yang is also regretting her decision now. She originally thought that Queen Bashang would be able to become a superior person in the future, but she didn't expect this mistake to happen.
She vaguely felt that the owner of Kunning Palace might be changed.
