Seizing the throne, abolishing the adopted son, the imperial concubine rose to prominence

"Master seems to be particularly interested in Lin Yunu?"

Tan Yin hesitated.

She knew that Lin Yunv was quite scheming and had tried to use her master as a scapegoat several times, but Lin Yunv was not favored by the emperor and had no foundation in the harem, so she was indeed not a threat to her master.

“People who are cruel to others are scary, but they are within people’s expectations. However, people who are cruel to themselves are the most unpredictable.”

Gu Youning paused and continued, "The incense that Miss Lin burned in her room today should have the function of preventing pregnancy."

When she was in the Gu Mansion, her mother often tinkered with spices and sold them outside. Gu Youning was influenced by her and had some knowledge of the types and characteristics of spices. When she was by Lin Yunv's bedside, she faintly smelled the scent of lingxiang.

"How is this possible? The Imperial Hospital diagnosed that Miss Lin would not be able to conceive an heir for at least a year. Moreover, with her injuries, she probably won't have the chance to serve the emperor for another month, so there's no need for her to avoid pregnancy."

Tan Yin blurted out.

"She uses this contraceptive incense to show her loyalty to her partner."

Gu Youning said.

At the same time, inside Tingyuxuan.

"Thank you, Queen, for your concern."

Lin Yunv held Shanhu's hand and tremblingly stood up to express her gratitude.

"Ms. Lin, there's no need to be so polite. Your Majesty doesn't care about these etiquettes."

Standing in front of the bed was Zhichun, the senior palace maid of Fengyi Palace, with a cold expression.

"Even if Your Majesty doesn't care, I should still thank You for Your grace."

Lin Yunv shook her head, but still knelt on the ground with difficulty, and kowtowed towards the direction of Fengyi Palace with a look of sincere gratitude.

Seeing this, Zhichun's expression softened a bit. Seeing the burning incense burner beside the bed, he even stepped forward to help her. "Your Majesty has always known that the imperial concubine is a good person, but the hearts of people in the harem are like this. Your Majesty can protect you once, but she may not be able to protect you every time. You should also think of some way to save yourself."

"It is my fault for making Her Majesty worry. Please ask Aunt Zhichun to tell Her Majesty that I will not let her down."

The action just now made Lin Yunv break out in cold sweats due to the pain, but her face always had an appropriate expression of humility and flattery.

Zhichun was obviously very satisfied with this, and said several caring words in the name of the queen.

Lin Yunv responded respectfully with a look of gratitude.

Shanhu on the side tried to speak several times, but was stopped by Lin Yunv by pinching her hands.

"Master, why don't you let me tell you that besides Cao Yunu and the others, everyone in the Shanggong Bureau and the Ministry of Internal Affairs has also begun to treat you poorly in just one night. Today, there's no charcoal fire, and in a few days, I'm afraid even food will be cut. Master, you should ask Aunt Zhichun to make a decision for you."

"Otherwise, if we allow these palace servants to abuse our Tingyu Pavilion in every possible way, the master won't be able to recover from his injuries."

As soon as Zhichun left, Shanhu couldn't help but say.

"The Empress is in charge of the six palaces, and she has a myriad of things to deal with every day. It's already a great honor for her to send Aunt Zhichun to help me out today. How can I trouble the Empress with these trivial matters?"

Lin Yunv leaned on the pillow, her face pale and she shook her head.

"But Master..."

Shanhu wanted to say that these were trivial matters, but her master had always been kind and gentle, always thinking only of others. Even servants like them were probably more important than herself in the eyes of the master, and would definitely not agree with her. If she said too much, it would make the master even more uneasy.

"It's just that you suffered for me."

Lin Yunv said with guilt

"Master, rest assured. No matter how others treat you, the three of us will stay by your side and never leave you."

Coral lay on the edge of the bed, her face full of determination.

Since the master values ​​them so much, they naturally cannot let the master starve or freeze. Isn't there Concubine Wen in Zhaoqing Palace?

Lady Wen was impatient and was most impatient to argue with them. She hoped that they would swallow their pride and ask for some charcoal and food for their master.

……

In the bedroom of Fengyi Palace, the charcoal fire in the copper stove carved with dragon and phoenix patterns was burning very brightly. Empress Cui was leaning on the couch, with a mink blanket covering her knees, reading the proposals sent from various places in the inner palace.

"master."

Zhichun walked forward and bowed.

"How's Lin Yu-nu doing?"

Empress Cui's eyes were still fixed on the petition in her hand.

"As you instructed, I only gave Miss Cao a few mild words of advice, without saying anything harsh."

"But Miss Lin is truly sensible. Not only has she been using the spices Her Majesty gifted her, she has also been thanking Her Majesty profusely for her grace."

"She has no one to rely on, either inside or outside the palace, so she has to rely on you, Your Majesty."

Seeing his master put down the proposal, Zhichun hurriedly handed over the teacup prepared by the palace maid beside him: "Ms. Lin Yu also said that she would not let you down."

"That's good! I don't keep useless people here."

The queen lifted the lid of the tea and took a leisurely sip.

"By the way, how's that going?"

The Queen didn't care much about Lin Yunv. Although she was a chess piece that could be cultivated, if she was wasted, it would not be difficult to find another one.

"I've already found a reason to take the person into custody. Xiao Luzi is still interrogating him. We should be able to get the list in three days at the latest."

Zhichun replied.

"Ignore other things for the next few days and focus on this matter."

The Queen stood up.

"I understand. However, after paying respects today, Lady Wen invited Concubine Gu to Zhaoqing Palace, saying she was going to visit Lady Lin. However, I asked Lady Lin and she said Concubine Gu only stayed in Tingyu Pavilion for half a cup of tea. Moreover, after noon, Concubine Gu's personal maid Tan Yin went to Jifang Pavilion again."

"Also, I've watched with a cold eye as Lady Wen has been speaking up for Concubine Gu from time to time these past few days. Although there are reasons for all of this, it's just too much of a coincidence."

"Lady Wen has lost the emperor's favor over the years and has been unkind to him. However, the Wen family was the foremost family back then. If she becomes friendly with Concubine Gu, it will be disadvantageous for Empress Yu to try to recruit members of the Wen family."

Holding the Spring Road.

"Doesn't Miss Gu Si still have a bottle of warm wine?"

"Your Highness wants to push the matter of the love wine onto Concubine Gu, but after what happened last night, the Emperor and everyone in the harem knows that the Gu sisters are not on good terms. How can Concubine Gu be willing to help her younger sister?"

Zhichun suddenly realized that this plan was not feasible.

"What if it's for her biological mother? Her biological mother's life is in the hands of others. How can Concubine Gu not do her best to plan for her legitimate sister?"

The queen's smile became more graceful.

"Your Majesty, this is a good plan. Madam Gu will definitely be willing to help for her daughter. Moreover, Concubine Gu's mother was promoted from a lowly concubine to a noble concubine in just a month, and now she has been promoted to a co-wife. Madam Gu is from the Wen family and is arrogant. I'm afraid she has long hated people."

"Slave, let's do it now."

Zhichun also laughed.
