The queen is spoiling the king and madly criticizing him for spoiling her

Gu Jianchu frowned and asked, "What do you mean, elder sister?"

Xie Qingzhi walked down from the stands and helped Lin Ling, who was kneeling on the ground, to her feet. He glanced at the already guilty Censor and said, "Have you, Her Majesty, forgotten that this girl is the sister of Lin Qi, who was expelled from Yousong Academy for fighting? We met Lin Qi on Suzaku Street at that time and later rescued this girl Lin Ling from Lin Qi's clutches. Lin Qi and his mother wanted to send Lin Ling to a mansion to be someone's concubine, but we rescued her. Lin Qi and his mother were imprisoned in the Dali Temple, and Miss Lin Ling was also rescued."

"I remember now." Gu Jianchu said as he glanced towards the Chief Censor again.

The Chief Censor could no longer deceive himself after hearing the names of Lin Qi and Lin Ling. He panicked and knocked the teacup next to him to the ground, breaking it. The noise attracted the attention of everyone nearby.

The Left Prime Minister frowned and looked at his son-in-law, "What happened to you today? How could you be so careless that you could even break a teacup? Didn't you get enough rest?"

The Chief Censor's face was filled with guilt, and even his voice trembled slightly as he spoke. "I stayed up too late last night dealing with official business, so I didn't get enough rest. I hope everyone will forgive me."

As the Chief Censor said this, he went to pick up the broken pieces of the teacup that he had dropped on the ground. Perhaps because he was distracted, his finger was directly pierced by the sharpest part of the fragment. Bright red blood instantly seeped out of his finger. The Chief Censor withdrew his hand in pain and instinctively put it to his mouth to suck it.

"There shouldn't be anything important on the Emperor and the Empress's side. Do you want to go back and rest for a while?" The Left Prime Minister still felt sorry for his son-in-law, so he lowered his voice and made a suggestion.

"No need." The Chief Censor shook his head repeatedly.

Zuo Xiang nodded and said, "Since it's not needed, be careful."

Just as the Chief Censor bent down to pick it up again, the young eunuch who was serving beside him stepped forward and whispered, "Master Zhang, please let me do it."

The Chief Censor nodded nervously, but he couldn't help but look in the direction of Lin Ling. A bad premonition kept lingering in his heart.

No matter how capable Lin Ling was, it was impossible for her to escape from among the dozen guards.

It seems like there is a hand in the dark fanning the flames, but there is no evidence.

The Chief Censor's suspicious gaze fell on the emperor and empress. There were too many strange things happening to the emperor and empress during this period, and they were all difficult to explain.

Soon the Chief Censor shook his head again. He acted in secret and even if the emperor and empress were very capable, they would not be able to know.

[I've never done anything wrong in my life, and I'm not afraid of ghosts knocking on my door during the night shift. The Censor-in-Chief's expression clearly shows that he's been terrified.]

Gu Jianchu asked lazily, "*** already helped you back then, what grievances do you have that require the help of this palace and the emperor?"

Lin Ling glanced at Xie Qingzhi and saw him nod at her. She knelt down again and looked at Gu Jianchu with red eyes. "Your Majesty, the Queen saved me from a dangerous situation and gave me some money to support myself. I knew I couldn't just sit there and do nothing, so I went to an inn to help out and earn some money. Who knew that after that beast Lin Qi was released from the Dali Temple, he would target me again."

"Lin Qi took advantage of my inattention and tied me up again. At night, he took me to a courtyard and assigned dozens of people to guard it. No matter what I tried, I couldn't escape. To survive, I had no choice but to flatter that man while looking for an opportunity to sneak away. Recently, I overheard that man say that he was coming to the palace to hunt and would stay for half a month. I knew this was my chance to escape."

"I used food incompatibility to release the guards who were guarding me, and escaped under the cover of night. This person has considerable influence in the court, so I dared not go to the drum to report my actions, fearing that he would recapture me before I could even see the Emperor and Empress. I had no choice but to risk my life and come to the palace to see the Emperor and Empress and ask them to help me."

Lin Ling was indeed quite resilient and intelligent. She knew that resistance would only make the Chief Censor look at her more sternly, so she decided to flatter him and try to find a way to escape. Therefore, she spent all this time flirting with him, trying to please him. He withdrew half of the guards, but he was still worried and left more than ten people on guard in shifts.

However, Lin Ling was given a little freedom. She could ask the cooking nanny to buy whatever she wanted to eat or drink.

Before Lin Ling's mother got into trouble, Lin Ling had been learning some pharmacology from her mother. Before her mother fell into prostitution, her father was a doctor. Lin Ling's mother had been influenced by her father, so naturally she knew a little bit. Lin Ling's mother was also a perceptive person. She knew that given Lin Ling's status as a concubine, even if she married, she might not be able to marry into a good family. Even if she could, she would only be a concubine. So, Lin Ling's mother taught Lin Ling some pharmacology knowledge in advance, hoping that when Lin Ling got married in the future, she would be able to rely on these knowledge to protect her life.

[After all, in those harem fights, mastering some pharmacological knowledge can save your life.]

[I didn't expect these things to actually save Lin Ling.]

Lin Ling had already begun planning this, having the Nanny help her buy some incompatible foods. She then personally cooked large quantities, claiming the food was uneaten and giving it to the Nanny and the guards. This was partly to maintain good relations with them, and partly to allow them to poison her over time without them noticing.

After Lin Ling learned that the Chief Censor would be accompanying the Emperor to the palace, she prepared to act. Under the pretext of making soup, she asked the nanny to buy some herbs for her. She then ground them into a powder, dug up some wild herbs from the yard, and blended them into a pot of chicken soup, which she served to the guards and the nanny. The guards, after drinking it, developed diarrhea, which lasted all day, leaving them exhausted. Lin Ling then prepared a meal of complementary and mutually beneficial dishes for them to eat.

After eating, all the people fainted. Lin Ling took the opportunity to change into a guard's uniform, left the courtyard, and ran all the way to the palace.

[When Wenzhu and the others went over to look for her, they discovered that Lin Ling had already run away.]
