Chapter 198 Concubine Lin’s Betrayal
After Concubine Lin lay down after serving Mr. Lin, who was suffering from an old illness, she raised her hand and waved to the other maids serving in the palace, "You all can go down. I'll be here to guard you."

The maids in the palace all responded in low voices after hearing the words, and after bowing, they filed out of the palace.

The palace quickly became quiet.

Concubine Lin stared at Old Master Lin who was lying quietly on the bed for a long time, then she lowered her eyes and slowly stood up and walked to the table, picked up the cup of herbal tea on the table and poured it into a flower pot beside her.

Tea is just an ordinary cup of tea, but there are some things added to it that can induce Old Mrs. Lin's old illness.

At this time, the sound of flapping wings suddenly sounded outside the window. Concubine Lin opened the window, and a gray pigeon cooed and skillfully got in, standing on the window sill and walking back and forth.

Concubine Lin frowned slightly, and when she was about to drive the pigeon out, she suddenly saw a small bamboo tube tied to the pigeon's left leg.

She was stunned for a moment, as if she remembered something, she reached out and grabbed the gray pigeon. The pigeon didn't struggle and just let her grab it casually, as if she was used to it.

This time, Concubine Lin did not hesitate too much. She took off the bamboo tube and stuffed it directly into her sleeve. At the same time, she took out an almost identical bamboo tube from her sleeve and tied it back to Gray Pigeon's leg.

When she just hung the bamboo tube back on the gray pigeon's leg, the figure of the Imperial Master suddenly appeared at the door of the hall. As soon as the two of them met, the Imperial Master saw the gray pigeon in Concubine Lin's hand.

After seeing the Imperial Master, the gray pigeon suddenly screamed excitedly, struggled to break free from Concubine Lin's hands, and flew onto the Imperial Master's shoulders.

As soon as it landed, the Imperial Master saw the bamboo tube tied to its feet. It was clean, but there was no sign of it being opened.

"Since you are here, Imperial Master, I will ask you to take care of my father. I have to go and see Yang'er's condition."

With that said, Concubine Lin bowed to the Imperial Master as usual and prepared to leave, but just as she was about to step out of the door, the Imperial Master suddenly stopped her and said, "Concubine Lin, please stay. "

Concubine Lin stopped in her tracks suddenly, and subconsciously tightened the veil in her hand slightly.

Fortunately, the Imperial Master stood behind her and did not see her little movements. By the time the Imperial Master came around to her, Concubine Lin had already regained her composure.

The Imperial Master bowed respectfully to Concubine Lin, lowered his head and said in a warm voice, "My benefactor has a sudden illness. I just heard from the imperial doctor that it may be difficult to get out of bed these days. In the next few days, I may have to trouble Concubine Lin to attend the morning court." Queen, so that the prince can calm down and not be restless."

It turned out that it was just for this matter... She almost thought that someone had discovered what she had just done.

Thinking of this, Concubine Lin secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but the expression on her face did not change. When she heard this, she just smiled and said hello.

Hearing Concubine Lin's response, the imperial master also stepped aside to make way. Concubine Lin bowed again, and then Shi Shiran left with the maid waiting at the entrance of the palace.

The Imperial Master stood at the door and watched Concubine Lin disappear around the corner before the Imperial Master returned to the palace.He took off the small bamboo tube from the gray homing pigeon's leg, stood under the oil lamp and carefully checked it again to confirm that there was no trace of movement, and then took out the note from the bamboo tube.

There were only a few words written on it, but the general idea was that everything was going according to plan.

After seeing it, the Imperial Master no longer took it to heart. He put the note on the table and took some food to feed the gray pigeons.

On the other side, after Concubine Lin confirmed that the Imperial Master could not see her, her legs suddenly went weak. Fortunately, the palace maid next to her was clever and quickly supported her.

She waved her hand to indicate that she was fine, raised her hand and took out a small bamboo tube from her sleeve, scratched the beeswax on it with her fingernails, took out a small piece of paper, unfolded it and read it.

The palace maid was stunned for a moment, then quickly looked at the surrounding environment, and immediately turned her back to Concubine Lin to block the only direction where she could be seen.

There were only a few words on the note - the Huaili military camp was helping the King of Huai, and if there was any rebellion, he should be punished.

But Concubine Lin suddenly beamed with joy, and the smile on the corner of her mouth couldn't be hidden.

A few days ago, when Mrs. Su gave her son's life in exchange for her secretly sending the Su family to Northwest Huaili, she had already vaguely guessed something.

After all, she's just cowardly, not stupid.

So in order to verify her suspicions, she took the risk today to let Mrs. Lin's old illness relapse, so that she could see first-hand military reports.

In fact, in the beginning, Mrs. Lin did not hide important matters from her when discussing important matters with others. It was only because of her repeated objections, especially after her strong objections regarding Li Xuanzhi's matter, that he began to avoid her.

Now that General Chen has no cover, he openly leads his troops to help. I am afraid that in addition to being entrusted by his old friend Su, he is more likely to be General Chen who has guarded the frontier all his life. He sees another person guarding the country for Chen. The young general was heartbroken to be treated like this.

This was also the reason why she strongly opposed some of Old Mrs. Lin's practices.

You should be the most benevolent and righteous in your conduct and work. Only in this way can you last long. Otherwise, if you make others feel cold, it will be at least a criticism through writing, and at worst it will be a change of political power.

Now, if Li Xuanzhi has the help of Old General Chen, I am afraid that once they raise their troops, the day when they invade the imperial capital will be just around the corner.

And once this battle breaks out... the imperial capital will definitely be in chaos.

But the more chaotic, the greater the chance of her and Yang'er escaping by hiding their eyes and ears.

At this time, the palace maid standing in front of her suddenly said, "I have met Eunuch Hong Xi. I hope you are safe, Eunuch."

Concubine Lin suddenly stopped smiling when she heard the sound. She raised her hand and stuffed the bamboo tube and note back into her sleeves and pinched herself tightly. In the blink of an eye, she turned pale in pain.

When Hong Xi walked up to the palace maid, he saw Concubine Lin standing behind the palace maid. He was slightly stunned and hurriedly saluted, "I have seen Concubine Lin."

Concubine Lin waved her hand towards him and said warmly, "I must be a little busy and tired these days. I haven't eaten dinner today. I was a little dizzy just now, so I stood for a while."

As soon as Hong Xi heard that Concubine Lin was feeling unwell, he hurriedly said, "Then, why don't I ask the imperial dining room to bring some food to the empress later?"

Concubine Lin did not refuse, and after saying hello, she held the maid's hand and walked towards her palace.

Hong Xi looked at Concubine Lin's back for a while, and finally turned around and headed to the imperial dining room.

When Concubine Lin asked someone to secretly bring a message to Mr. Su, Mr. Su was writing furiously under the oil lamp. Gu Jinyu stood by the table and took a quick glance, only to see a few big words written in thick ink at the front. Prince Huai's message spread across a whole piece of paper.

Gu Jinyu suddenly laughed. He raised his eyes and looked at Mr. Su and said, "Mr. Su, could it be that he is an undercover agent? Why is it that what he has written now is actually asking for an apology from Prince Huai?"

Mrs. Su laughed cheerfully, "Suppress it first and then raise it. Suppress it first and then raise it."

"Mr. Su, when do you plan to use this message?" Gu Jinyu smiled and said, "Mr. Su, you probably have no intention of nailing Prince Huai to the pillar of shame for being a traitor, right?"

Mr. Su put down his pen, stroking his beard, squinting his eyes and smiling calmly.

After laughing for a while, he said leisurely, "Then it depends on Concubine Lin. I just wrote an article a few days ago and gave it to her as a return gift for arranging for the Su family to leave the imperial capital safely."
