Qiao Xin nodded and said, "It is fate. Your Majesty has understood it clearly. I was just stupid for a moment."

Lin Junxue added, "So, Shen Huachun took on this matter all by himself, just waiting for Chen Xier to save her. Unfortunately, Shen Huachun has no idea what kind of person Chen Xier is. This dream is probably going to be shattered. Chen Xier has been able to reach her current position step by step, from the legitimate daughter of a low-rank official to the current favorite concubine. If she wasn't ruthless, how could she have achieved her current glory?"

Guyu said, "Madam, do you think Shen Huachun will not survive this night?"

Lin Junxue nodded calmly and said three words: "I won't survive."

Danzhen was a little angry.

"Your Majesty, this time, it was clearly Concubine Xi who masterminded it, but in the end, only Shen Huachun was sent to the cold palace. This servant thinks it is really unfair."

Lin Junxue picked up another lychee and looked at Danzhen who was standing up for her.

"Has the word fairness ever been mentioned in this palace?"

Qiao Xin and the other two were unable to refute Lin Junxue's casual remark.

This harem has never been a "fair" place!

Danzhen couldn't help but ask, "Then, Madam, is this the end of Concubine Xi's plot to have Shen Huachun frame you?"

Lin Junxue picked up the handkerchief and wiped her hands slowly, with a gleam in her eyes.

"Is it over? I am indeed too easy to bully."

The three of them looked at each other after Lin Junxue finished speaking and then lowered their heads to continue eating lychees.

It seems that the queen has other plans in mind.

The three of them stood aside, waiting for Lin Junxue to finish eating the lychees and wash her hands.

Then, Lin Junxue said to Guyu, "Find the peony embroidered silk shirt that the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent last month."

Guyu nodded and said, "My lady, I will get it for you right away."

Lin Junxue turned around and told Danzhen, "Tell the kitchen not to cook the dishes that the emperor likes today, and change them all to the flavors that this queen likes."

Dan Zhen was stunned, then said, "I will tell the kitchen right away."

Then, Lin Junxue looked at Qiao Xin again and said, "Ask Xiao Gongzi to guard the door. If you see the emperor's chariot later, come in and report it in advance."

Qiao Xin leaned forward and said, "My lady, I will go and ask Xiao Gongzi to watch over him now."

Lin Junxue nodded and said, "Go ahead."

Qiao Xin took two steps back, then turned around and left the bedroom.

Finally, only Lin Junxue was left standing there, looking at the branches swaying in the wind outside the window, her eyes slightly deep.

Today, she bet that Xie Yu would definitely come to her Zhonghe Palace.

What happened with Shen Huachun in the morning turned out like that. Xie Yu never believed her from the beginning.

After the truth came out, Xie Yu would naturally feel a little guilty, so he would come to Zhonghe Palace at night to comfort her.

Hehe...Lin Junxue smiled coldly.

She really didn't need this so-called slap in the face and then a sweet treat. This matter couldn't just be let go like that.

And Chen Xier, the person who actually set up the scheme, wants to stay out of it and suffer no losses. That is absolutely impossible?

night

Just as Lin Junxue thought, Xie Yu's dragon chariot just appeared around the corner.

Xiao Gongzi, who was guarding the gate of Zhonghe Palace, had received instructions long ago and hurried in to inform Lin Junxue of the news.

After Lin Junxue asked Xiao Gongzi to go down, she picked up the chopsticks but did not move, with a distraught expression.

Qiao Xin and the other two understood what was going on and stood aside without saying anything.

The atmosphere in the entire bedroom suddenly became depressing.

As usual, Xie Yu did not ask anyone to pass the message. He walked in with Gao Cheng and saw Lin Junxue holding the chopsticks in the air.

She was motionless, her face no longer had the cuteness it once had, her eyes were sad and slightly red, and she looked like she had been crying.

Xie Yu stood at the door, his eyes deep and complicated.

Of course he knew why Lin Junxue was so sad.

Today, regarding Shen Huachun's frame-up, he really shouldn't have disbelieved Lin Junxue from the beginning, and he even yelled at her in front of everyone.

He noticed Lin Junxue's sad and upset expression several times.

But, at that time, when he heard that Shen Huachun was poisoned in Zhonghe Palace and the dragon fetus in her belly could not be saved, he was really angry.

Thinking about it now, it was he who hurt Lin Junxue's heart, and he really shouldn't have had that attitude.

Xie Yu coughed lightly, and Qiao Xin and the other two quickly knelt down and paid their respects.

Lin Junxue seemed to be frightened by the sound of Xie Yu's cough, and she widened her almond eyes slightly.

But at this moment, those eyes no longer had the former bright and lively look, but instead were a little more cautious.

Seeing such a look, Xie Yu's heart softened, and his guilt increased a lot.

Lin Junxue stood up, but did not go to greet him. Instead, she stood in front of the table and bowed respectfully.

"Your Majesty's Blessing"

Although Lin Kaikouxue looked fine, she was no longer as close to Xie Yu as before, and she no longer acted like a spoiled child.

At this moment, Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue like this, feeling a little uncomfortable and frowned.

Then, Xie Yu sighed and walked in front of Lin Junxue.

Xie Yu first took a look at the dishes on the table. There was not even any meat, nor were there any of his favorite dishes.

It seems that this time, he really hurt Lin Junxue's heart.

Xie Yu said to Qiao Xin who was standing aside, "What's wrong with the imperial kitchen? There's not even any meat in the dinner."

Qiao Xin took a step forward calmly and leaned over to explain, "Your Majesty, the Queen has a poor appetite today, so I specially asked the kitchen to make something light."

Lin Junxue raised her eyes and looked at Xie Yu, with a distant look on her face and the sadness and sorrow in her eyes that could not be concealed.

"Your Majesty, you don't have to blame Qiao Xin and the people in the kitchen. I really can't eat anything today, so I just asked the kitchen to make something light."

Xie Yu looked at Lin Junxue's distant look, reached out and took Lin Junxue's hand, only to find that her hand was a little colder than usual.

Xie Yu thought again of how she calmly looked for evidence for herself and argued her case today.

He originally thought that Lin Junxue had made preparations early on. Now, he was afraid that Lin Junxue was definitely not as calm and composed as she seemed at the time. She was also afraid in her heart, but she was just holding on. She must have been afraid afterwards.

Xie Yu blamed all the mistakes on Shen Huachun, saying that the bitch was so vicious that she used a fake pregnancy to frame the queen.

Xie Yu was more gentle than ever before. He pulled Lin Junxue to the chair, sat down, and looked at her affectionately.

"Jun'er, today, I did misunderstand you."

When Gao Cheng heard this, his eyes deepened.

This was the first time that the emperor took the initiative to surrender in front of the concubines in the harem. Even Imperial Concubine Xi had never been treated like this before. Was she just trying to please the emperor?

Lin Junxue listened to Xie Yu's words and looked at Xie Yu's face. Her expression was still indifferent, but she forced a far-fetched smile.

"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? How could I blame you?"
