Chapter 37 Guiding Concubine Shu to Investigate Concubine Hui
Realizing that Concubine Shu had misunderstood, Xu Xiyue immediately said, "How could that be? Your Majesty was afraid that Xiyue would be bored staying alone in Tinglanxuan, so she invited Xiyue to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. How could she have thought that Xiyue would get into trouble?"
After hearing this, Concubine Shu smiled with relief.
Life in the harem is lonely and hard, and it is even more rare to have a friend who treats you sincerely, so Concubine Shu does not want to create a rift with Xu Xiyue because of what happened today.
"Xiyue, take this opportunity to tell Concubine Shu that what happened in the Imperial Garden was not an accident. Please help you find out who did it."
Hearing the fairy's words, Xu Xiyue was a little confused.
Why did the fairy ask Concubine Shu to investigate? And since she knew it was Concubine Hui who did it, why didn't she just say it out loud?
Although she was confused, Xu Xiyue still did as she was told, "My Lady, Xiyue's slip was not an accident."
When Concubine Shu heard this, she was a little surprised. "You mean..."
The two looked at each other and understood each other's meaning.
Xu Xiyue's eyes darkened, "Yes, someone wanted to make Xiyue slip. When Xiyue slipped, she noticed that there was oil on the ground, which was obviously man-made."
"How can this be possible? Who could be so vicious?" Concubine Shu was furious, her beautiful eyes spewing anger.
Xu Xiyue said, "The queen was worried about Xiyue at the time, and she probably didn't notice that there was a palace servant hiding nearby. When the queen sent Xiyue back, Xiyue saw the palace servant heading towards Youlan Garden."
"Youlan Garden..." Concubine Shu frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
Ting He who was standing next to him interrupted, "Your Majesty, Youlan Garden is the closest to Lanxi Palace, could it be..."
"Don't talk nonsense!" Concubine Shu scolded, and Ting He immediately lowered his head and said nothing more.
Concubine Shu patted the back of Xu Xiyue's hand and said, "Don't worry, sister. No matter who did it, I will find that person. Murdering the heir to the throne is a serious crime."
Xu Xiyue smiled, "Thank you for your concern, Madam."
The two exchanged a few more private words, and then Concubine Shu left. Luluo respectfully saw Concubine Shu out on behalf of the young lady.
With no one else in the room, Xu Xiyue couldn't help but ask, "Fairy, why didn't you tell the Emperor and the Empress directly that Huipin had ordered the palace servants to harm Xiyue? And why did you ask Concubine Shu to investigate Huipin?"
Not knowing which direction the fairy was, she looked around the house.
Lin Yuejiao was sitting opposite her. "This is simple. You and Huipin had a feud over the cat incident. If you directly expose that it was Huipin who did it, the emperor and the queen will not believe it. Instead, they will think that you have bad intentions and are taking the opportunity to frame Huipin."
"I'm asking you to guide Concubine Shu to investigate Huipin. First, I'm doing a favor to Concubine Shu. Concubine Shu doesn't like to compete. The emperor hasn't been to Concubine Shu's palace for a long time. If Concubine Shu finds out that Huipin harmed you, the emperor will go to Concubine Shu's palace to accompany her because of her merits."
"Second, you are pregnant now, so it is inconvenient for you to sleep with the emperor. Concubine Shu can help you to consolidate the emperor's favor. Whenever the emperor comes to you, you can mention Concubine Shu's good points intentionally or unintentionally. If Concubine Shu is favored, she will definitely remember your good points. When you give birth to a child in the future, with Concubine Shu's help, you will soon be favored by the emperor again."
Xu Xiyue suddenly realized, "Fairy, your intentions are good, Xiyue is grateful."
The fairy was thoughtful. She had never thought that after she became pregnant and could not sleep with the emperor, the emperor would soon forget about her and go to another palace.
If Concubine Shu helps her to consolidate her favor, the Emperor will always remember her even if she cannot sleep with him.
"However, Xiyue just intentionally directed Concubine Shu to investigate Concubine Hui. Would Concubine Shu think too much about it? Would she think that Xiyue was using her to deal with Concubine Hui?"
Thinking of this, Xu Xiyue felt a little worried.
Lin Yuejiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, Concubine Shu is smart. Not only will she not misunderstand you, she will also be grateful to you."
Lin Yuejiao guessed correctly. Concubine Shu did not misunderstand Xu Xiyue's intention. Instead, she was grateful.
But Ting He didn't understand Concubine Xu's intention, and when she came out of Tinglan Pavilion, she couldn't help but say:
"Your Highness, from what Miss Xu said just now, it's clear that she already knows who poured oil on her in the Imperial Garden. Why did she still lead you to investigate? Wouldn't it be better to just tell the Empress or the Emperor directly?"
Concubine Shu walked slowly and calmly, the hairpins in her hair swaying slightly, and her demeanor was dignified and elegant.
After hearing Tinghe's words, she paused and raised her hand to poke Tinghe's forehead.
"You girl, you've been idle for so long that your brain has lost its function? Can't you see what Concubine Xu is up to?"
Ting He blinked, but still didn't understand.
Concubine Shu laughed, paced a few steps, looked at the beautiful flowers blooming beside her, and said, "Mrs. Xu is giving me a chance to show myself before the Emperor. As long as I find out who harmed Mrs. Xu, the Emperor will remember my merit, and I will have more opportunities to sleep with him."
"Ah? That Concubine Xu is quite nice!" Ting He murmured.
Having seen the intrigues and deceptions in the harem, Ting He didn't believe that there was any true sisterhood between the ladies and the concubines in the various palaces, but only calculations and exploitation.
Concubine Xu was an exception, she actually helped the empress gain favor.
Concubine Shu smiled without saying anything, knowing in her heart that Xu Xiyue did this just to use her to consolidate his favor.
She doesn't care either!
Life in the harem is too boring, so what if I just help Sister Xu to gain favor?
Since you're idle anyway, you might as well find something to do.
Concubine Shu smiled, picked a flower and took it back to Jinxiu Palace.
Lin Yuejiao probably couldn't have imagined that the actions she taught Xu Xiyue today would make the usually noncompetitive Concubine Shu start to compete for favor in the future.
But Concubine Shu did this simply because she was bored!
…………
Not long after staying in Tinglanxuan, Lin Yuejiao was called away by Xu Zhiyu using a conch shell. Before leaving, she told Xu Xiyue about her cooperation with Xu Zhiyu in opening a store.
Xu Xiyue was deeply moved. The fairy not only helped her win favor and gain power, but also helped her make money. She was truly a selfless fairy with great love.
When she is in a high position in the future, she will definitely build a statue of the goddess and let her family members worship the fairy from generation to generation to express their gratitude for her kindness.
"Ah-"
As soon as she arrived outside Xu Zhiyu's shop, Lin Yuejiao sneezed violently.
I wonder who is talking about her behind her back?
She rubbed her nose and didn't think much about it. She walked into the store and found that it was crowded. In the blink of an eye, she was almost deformed by the crowd.
Although she is invisible, her physical body has traveled to the ancient times, so others can still touch her.
Fortunately, there were so many people and they were crowded together that no one noticed anything was wrong.
"Everyone, take your time to choose. Once you've made your selection, go to the counter and line up to pay."
Lin Yuejiao looked up and saw Xu Zhiyu standing on the table and talking. Maybe there were too many people and he had no place to stand, so he climbed up.
In addition to Chang'an, there were a few other waiters in the store, all of whom were called from Xu Zhiyu's house to help.
Xu Zhiyu really didn't expect that so many people would come after the flyer given by the fairy was sent out. He really made a fortune.
In order to help the ancients recognize those products, Lin Yuejiao gave a detailed introduction to each product on the flyers.
So there is no need to ask what the products are used for. Everyone can just take the flyers and buy the products they need.
Since these were things that everyone had never seen before, everyone was curious and excited, and wanted to buy everything to study them, so the store became a hit as soon as it opened.
Xu Zhiyu was shouting like a peddler, and the conch in his arms suddenly started to ring.
"Xu Zhiyu!"
