Everyone in my harem is talented

The next day.

Linlang, the personal maid of Concubine Lin Gui, hurriedly ran towards the bamboo forest outside the Ningxin Hall of Jing'an Palace in small steps.

She looked around, leaned close to Concubine Lin Gui's ear and whispered:

"Your Highness, our people in Ci'an Palace sent us news that for some reason, something happened to the Queen Mother. The Ci'an Palace was quietly surrounded, and the palace people inside could not get out. Our people used the food that was still transported normally every day to spread the news. Should we ask outside what happened?"

Concubine Lin Gui was kneeling in the bamboo forest of Jing'an Palace, copying Buddhist scriptures. Upon hearing this, her hand trembled and the pen and ink swept across a whole page of the scriptures.

Her eyes suddenly became sharp, she frowned, slowly raised her head, and stared at the head maid in confusion for a moment.

"What kind of loser is this who is so eager to take credit from you? Don't act rashly when something happens. Pretend you don't know anything about things that have nothing to do with us!" Concubine Lin Gui suppressed her impatience and spoke softly in a calm tone.

"Your Majesty, what if, what if what we did with the help of the Queen Mother is exposed, what should we do? I think we should find out what happened so that we can make preparations in advance." A cruel light flashed in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, we have all done something extremely outrageous once, so what's the harm in doing it again?" Linlang continued.

"Did I tell you? Don't act rashly. Don't act rashly. Can't you hear me? Or do you not want to hear me?"

"Your Majesty, I didn't. I was just telling you my shallow thoughts. There has never been a time when I didn't listen to you. I always listen to you." She said with tears in her eyes, somewhat aggrieved.

"Okay." Concubine Lin Gui patted the head palace maid's hand helplessly.

"Just pretend you are deaf, blind, and lame, and don't worry about anything."

"Your Majesty, someone in Ci'an Palace spread the news outside. The other party contacted Lin Gui's personal maid Linlang." said Wei Zhun, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.

"Zhang Deli, serve tea to the commander of the guards."

"Has the background of Concubine Lin Gui been found out?" Qin Zhi was holding a Persian cat with mandarin duck eyes and combing its white fur with his fingers.

Wei Zhun said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I have found out that Lady Lin Gui was selected as the daughter of the Marquis of Tong and entered the Eastern Palace. However, she is not the biological daughter of the late Marquis of Tong, but his adopted daughter. Few people know this.

Concubine Lin Gui was actually the granddaughter of the last King of Qi of the previous dynasty and a cousin of the late emperor.

Before your Majesty was born, after the death of the late emperor's first wife, Empress Yuanhe, all matters of the Eastern Palace were managed by Concubine Lin Gui. Concubine Lin Gui also assisted Empress Chen, the first emperor, in managing many matters of the harem. Therefore, the news that the Eastern Palace wanted to make Concubine Lin the Crown Princess spread among the six palaces.

Later, because the Empress Dowager was pregnant again, the imperial physician diagnosed that it was likely a boy, and the news in the palace was suppressed by Empress Chen, the founder of the Taizu clan.

As the granddaughter of the last King of Qi of the previous dynasty, Concubine Lin Gui was a cousin of the late emperor. Her relationship was with Emperor Taizu. Emperor Taizu was not born into a commoner family, nor was he a descendant of a noble family. He was a member of the royal family of the previous dynasty, the son of a princess of a fallen country.

"Later, when my mother became the Crown Princess, she began to worship Buddha sincerely?" Qin Zhi held up the Persian cat with both hands and handed it to Zhang Deli, motioning Zhang Deli to take the cat away.

Wei Zhun, the commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, shook his head and said, "Since entering the Eastern Palace, Concubine Lin Gui has been very aloof and often loves to worship Buddha and copy scriptures, so she has never been well received by the late emperor. It was not after that."

"After the Empress Dowager became the Crown Princess, she took over the affairs of the Eastern Palace from Concubine Lin Gui. Concubine Lin Gui did not make things difficult for her, but she became more reclusive after she stopped caring about things."

"I know everything that happened afterwards. For some reason, she and Concubine Chen got along very well." Qin Zhi sneered.
