Qiao Xin and Dan Zhen looked at Lin Junxue with a faint smile on their faces, and the trace of worry in their hearts gradually dissipated.

Since the queen slapped Liu Cairen in the face today, she must have left a way out.

Qiao Xin suddenly remembered five years ago when she was sent to the palace by the young lady.

The young lady once said that if the day came when the queen woke up from her dream, that would be the day when the Lin family would have a glimmer of hope.

Qiao Xin looked at Lin Junxue, and she seemed to understand what the young lady meant.

Xie Yu was busy all day and didn't come out of Taiwu Hall until the evening.

Recently, the Governor-General of Guangdong and Guangxi was accused of embezzling military pay issued by the court. This matter involved a wide range of people and the relationships within the court were confusing and complicated.

In recent days, the number of cases filed against Xie Yulong has been increasing.

The court officials expressed their own opinions, and the camps were in chaos.

Xie Yu took Gao Cheng and went directly to Xianya Palace

Originally, today was the day when Lin Junxue was released from house arrest. Logically, he should go to Zhonghe Palace to see

However, Xie Yu was still thinking about Chen Xier, so he went to Xianya Palace.

When I arrived at Xianya Palace, I saw Chen Xier sitting on the chaise longue. She looked not very well, with a pale face.

"Your Majesty's Blessing"

Chen Xier came up to him immediately and said with a smile, "Your Majesty, why didn't you let Eunuch Gao tell you in advance that you were coming? I can prepare myself for that."

Although Chen Xier was smiling, it was obviously a forced smile.

Of course Xie Yu could see it and put his arm around Chen Xier's shoulders.

He asked with concern, "Xi'er, what's wrong? Are you unhappy? Did the servants in the palace provoke you?"

The servants in the palace were so frightened that they immediately knelt down.

Chen Xier reluctantly shook her head and said in a pretentious manner, "Your Majesty, I am fine."

That's what he said, but the grievance on his face was almost overflowing

Xie Yu frowned slightly, looking at Chen Xier who refused to speak, and then looked at Zi Shuang who was standing beside him.

Zi Shuang quickly knelt on the ground and told him everything that happened today.

After Xie Yu heard this, a hint of shock and suspicion flashed in his eyes.

Obviously, he didn't believe what Lin Junxue did today.

Zi Shuang glanced at Chen Xier's face and added fuel to the fire.

"Your Majesty, you don't know that the two maids Danzhen and Guyu beside the Queen came to the private storehouse and picked out the two items that the Queen liked the most. The Queen was frightened in Zhonghe Palace today. After returning, she didn't even eat breakfast."

Xie Yu's face turned cold

Could it be that after being confined to her room this time, Lin Junxue really became so cruel and ruthless?

Xie Yu no longer wants to be intimate with Chen Xier.

Chen Xier looked at Xie Yu and said, "Your Majesty, please don't take Zi Shuang's words seriously. Today, it was Concubine Liu who didn't know the rules, and it was right for my sister to punish her. As for those two objects, I didn't like them much either. I was scared because I was timid. It's really nothing. Your Majesty, please don't take your anger out on my sister because of this. My sister and I just cleared up a misunderstanding, and I don't want my sister to misunderstand again. Can you just pretend you don't know?"

Gao Cheng stood aside and lowered his head silently. The imperial concubine was so scheming.

When Xie Yu heard this, his expression became even more grim. Just as he was about to speak, he heard the eunuch's announcement at the door.

"Your Majesty, in Ganquan Palace, the maidservant beside the Concubine Chen said that the Concubine Chen would like to invite you to come over."

Xie Yu happened to have the same idea, so he went to Ganquan Palace.

Let’s see if Liu Cairen was beaten as badly as Zi Shuang said?

Chen Xier saw what Xie Yu was thinking, and she said sympathetically, "Your Majesty, please go and have a look at Sister Chenfei. I think not only I, but Sister Chenfei was also frightened today."

Xie Yu pondered for a few seconds and nodded, "Xi'er, be generous. I will come again tomorrow. Today, I will go to Ganquan Palace to see Concubine Chen. You should rest early. If you are still not feeling well, ask the imperial physician to come and see you."

Chen Xier said with a gentle and affectionate look, "I understand. Your Majesty, please go quickly and don't let your sister Chen Fei wait."

Xie Yu has always been comforted by Chen Xier's generosity.

Among so many women in the harem, only Xier is so considerate.

After Xie Yu took Gao Cheng away, Chen Xier no longer had the gentle and lovely look she had just had, and her face was gloomy.

If it weren't for today, she would need the instigation of that fool Concubine Chen, and no one would be able to snatch the emperor away from her Elegant Palace.

When Xie Yu arrived at Ganquan Palace, he saw the beaten Liu Cairen.

Sun Manrou burst into tears in front of Xie Yu, accusing Lin Junxue of her behavior today, and her noisy quarrel gave Xie Yu a headache.

Xie Yu stayed in Ganquan Palace for half an hour and then left.

Sun Manrou tried her best to get Xie Yu to stay overnight, but Xie Yu had no intention at all.

After Xie Yu left, Sun Manrou took out her anger on the palace maids.

Every time Xie Yu did not stay overnight, several palace maids in Ganquan Palace would suffer and were miserable.

Zhonghe Palace

"The Emperor has arrived"

Following the eunuch's announcement, Xie Yu and Gao Cheng came in.

Lin Junxue slowly got up from the chaise longue and went to greet him.

Tonight, she was wearing an emerald green gauze skirt, a golden gauze cape, and a simple bun with a pearl and jade hairpin. She looked very plain.

But that face looked like peach blossoms in March, with a fragrance like that of orchid.

In fact, this was the second time Lin Junxue met Xie Yu since she traveled to this dynasty.

The first time was the night a few days ago.

To be honest, Lin Junxue didn't look at Xie Yu carefully at that time.

Now taking a closer look, Xie Yu is handsome and has the demeanor of an emperor.

His eyebrows are high and straight, and just his eyebrows give people a sharp and eye-catching feeling.

If this appearance were to happen in modern times, it would probably be a wolf-dog type.

However, no matter how handsome Xie Yu is, Lin Junxue, who has seen countless handsome men in modern times, has long been immune to these.

Although Lin Junxue thought so in her heart, a hint of surprise immediately appeared on her face, and there was even some surprise hidden in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, why are you here?"

When Xie Yu saw Lin Junxue, he was stunned for a few seconds.

Although Lin Junxue's appearance has not changed much, for some reason, Xie Yu was always unconsciously attracted by Lin Junxue's appearance and temperament during these two times.

Xie Yu came here to call for punishment, so naturally his attitude became cold.

However, when he saw the excitement and anticipation in Lin Junxue's eyes, he was silent for two seconds and ultimately did not get angry.

His eyes fell on the dinner on the table again, and he said in a deep voice, "I came to see you. Haven't you had dinner yet?"

Lin Junxue's eyes are as bright as stars

She just looked at Xie Yu like she was looking at some precious treasure.

Xie Yu looked up at Lin Junxue in front of him and frowned.

"Why is the Queen looking at me like this? Since you haven't had your meal yet, it's just right. I don't have one either, so let's eat together."

Next second

Lin Junxue blurted out, "I look at the emperor because he is handsome."

As soon as this word comes out

The entire Zhonghe Palace fell silent.

Gao Cheng, Qiao Xin, Dan Zhen, and Gu Yu had never expected Lin Junxue to say something so shocking.

Who in the whole world, in the former court or in the harem, dares to praise the emperor like this?

Xie Yu was the same, with a hint of surprise in his eyes.

He had never heard such straightforward and bold words.

What shocked him even more was that these words came from Lin Junxue, who was always silent in front of him.

Normally, no concubine, not even Xi'er, dared to be so bold in front of him.
