Qingning Palace and Yongshou Palace have been very close recently, and Changchun Palace has fallen behind. People in the palace said that Yun Zhining broke off relations with Changchun Palace because she was resentful of Madam Shanglin for what happened last time.

After hearing this kind of talk many times, and seeing that Yun Zhining really ignored her, Mrs. Lin was very worried and kept trying to find a way to explain to Yun Zhining.

But she couldn't see Yun Zhining at all, so she had no choice but to send the second prince out to find out Yun Zhining's whereabouts.

The second prince might be the legendary son of destiny. Not long after he left the palace, he ran into Yun Zhining who was out playing with Little Grape.

He also learned to be smart. After discovering Yun Zhining, he did not rush over immediately, but went back home and told the news to Mrs. Lin. Mrs. Lin took him and rushed over without stopping.

Yun Zhining:!!!

"Mrs. Lin, how did you know I was here?"

"How dare you say that? Come here!"

Madam Lin pulled her towards a secluded place. Qingzhu wanted to stop her but was glared back by Madam Lin. Yun Zhining gave her a look that told her not to worry. Qingzhu then breathed a sigh of relief and took the Second Prince to play with Little Putao.

There was no one around here, so Yun Zhining pulled her hand away and chuckled.

"How did Sister Lin know I was here?"

"You still have the nerve to say that."

Mrs. Lin glared at her and said unhappily.

"What have you been doing recently? Why don't you want to talk to me? Is it really like what people say, that because Little Grape was poisoned at Feng'er's birthday party, you hold a grudge against me and refuse to be friends with me anymore?"

"Of course not."

Yun Zhining had known that this day would come, but she didn't expect it to come so soon.

"Do you still remember the maid who poisoned my food that day and caused Little Grape to be poisoned?"

"Of course I remember. If you hadn't asked for her first, I wouldn't have let her go."

She ruined Feng'er's birthday party, almost killed Xiao Putao, and affected her relationship with Yun Zhining. Madam Lin wanted to kill her.

"I went to the palace that night and used some tricks to finally pry her open. But just as she was about to reveal the mastermind, a silver needle suddenly flew in from outside the door and took her life."

"Based on her lip movements, I determined that the mastermind behind this was Concubine Wende, so I set a trap to trap Concubine Wende and make her dig her own grave."

Mrs. Lin took a breath.

"I suddenly thought of something."

"If the mastermind behind this incident is Concubine Wende, then your falling from the high platform might have something to do with her. It's possible that your getting into danger in the Imperial Garden was also related to her. Otherwise, how could she show up in time and take you to Yongshou Palace for delivery?"

"If you give birth to a prince, there is a high possibility that he will be taken away by her directly."

The more Yun Zhining listened, the more frightened she became. Her palms were sweaty and sticky, just like her mottled heart.

"But it was Sun and Zhang who were responsible for the danger in my Imperial Garden. They admitted it at the time, so they shouldn't be wrong."

"How did you know about this?"

Yun Zhining hesitated for a moment, but still told the truth.

"Princess Song told me."

"Her cousin Li Ru was from the same batch of concubines as Yun Fulan and Sun. Yun Fulan originally wanted to poison Sun, but was seen by Li Ru. She knocked Li Ru unconscious and falsely accused her of poisoning Sun. Li Ru was executed, and Concubine Song began to hate Yun Fulan and Sun."

"It was she who poisoned the queen before, and it was she who told me that the danger in the Imperial Garden was caused by Sun who instructed Zhang to do it."

"What? Was it Concubine Song who poisoned the Empress?"

Mrs. Lin was very shocked.

But after a moment, she calmed down.

"No, even if Concubine Song really wanted to kill Yun Fulan and Sun, she wouldn't dare to do such a shameless thing, and she also implicated Concubine Qi. There must be someone behind her who is instructing her!"

"Could it be, ..."

The two looked at each other and said in unison.

"Princess Wende!"

Yun Zhining's face became more and more ugly.

"I never thought that everything that happened since I entered the palace was related to her."

"It is said that Concubine Wende participated in the selection with the Empress. The late emperor liked Concubine Wende, but Empress Dowager Xiaoyan and Empress Dowager Xiaoci both liked the Empress, so the Empress became the prince's consort and Concubine Wende became a concubine. So she has been unwilling to accept this all these years, and it is normal for her to have such thoughts."

It turned out to be the case.

If she remembered correctly, when Empress Dowager Xiaoyan and Empress Dowager Xiaoci passed away in the previous life, Concubine Wende was still alive. Could it be that she killed the two Empress Dowagers?

If everything was as she predicted, she would get rid of Concubine Wende even faster. Otherwise, it would be even more difficult to deal with her after she became the queen.

Now the closeness between Little Grape and Concubine Wende is just a play between the mother and daughter to confuse Concubine Wende, but she can't let Little Grape act all her life!

Only after completely solving the problem of Concubine Wende can we feel at ease.

Seeing Yun Zhining's heavy expression, Mrs. Lin couldn't help feeling distressed.

"Everyone says there is no real friendship in the harem, but I don't think so."

"Maybe it's because I don't have strong ambitions. I don't want to replace the queen and become the queen mother, nor do I want Feng'er to become the crown prince or even the king of a country. So I don't need to be so competitive. I just need to take good care of Feng'er, watch him grow up safely and healthily, marry him a gentle and virtuous wife, have a few smart and lovely children, and be a rich and noble prince in peace and stability."

"So, Aning, you can trust me completely. If you encounter something unhappy, you can tell me. If you encounter a problem that you can't solve, you can also come to me. One person's shortcomings are better than two people's. Even if I can't help you solve the problem, at least I can help you share some of your worries."

"Sister Lin, thank you. Meeting you is the happiest thing in my life."

"What about the orb?"

Yun Zhining gave a dry smile.

"Sister Lin, we are still good sisters even though we know the truth."

"Okay, tell me, what are your plans next?"

Yun Zhining leaned close to her and said something.

Mrs. Lin's eyes changed as she looked at her.

I thought the two of them would finish their conversation quickly, but it was almost half an hour and they still hadn't come out. Qingzhu was a little worried that Madam Lin would do something bad to Yun Zhining, so she asked the wet nurse to take care of Little Grape and the Second Prince, and she went in to find Madam Lin and Yun Zhining.

But as soon as she took a step, she saw Yun Zhining and Madam Lin coming out one after another.

One of them had disheveled clothes and hair, and red eyes. The other one looked like a mad woman, with several scratches on her face. Both looked in a miserable state.
