Chapter 152 Concealing the Truth as a Concubine

"Do you suspect it's Xie Guifei?" Ling Xiao couldn't help looking out of the window. The original bleak garden had gradually shown vitality, but she was hesitant when she opened her mouth, "My sister suspected that Xie Guifei bought Zhu Lian and let her secretly damage Ling Yuechan's body?"

Lin Xuanyu didn't say anything for a long time. He frowned slightly, hesitated and said, "It's not impossible. Just looking at Zhu Lian's private things makes people feel very suspicious. In addition, although Xie Guifei still doesn't pay attention to Ling Yuechan, the biggest thing involved in this matter is the queen, which can't be figured out. But Zhu Lian is Ling Yuechan's close maid of honor. She has been with her since she was a child. Let alone human feelings, the interests of the two are also tightly bound. It can be said that they will be in the same boat for the rest of their lives.

Although she didn't say much about the following words, Ling Xiao also understood. Common interests are the most reliable link between alliances. Since they are two people with common interests, how can they be stupid enough to help outsiders? Even if Princess Xie promised her great benefits, she wouldn't be so short-sighted, would she?

Moreover, there is another problem. If that thing was really done by Xie Guifei, that is, she instructed Zhu Lian to assassinate Ling Yuechan, but there is no problem with Ling Yuechan's miscrection itself, so how can she look very well?

Thinking of this, Ling Xiao suddenly thought of something else and asked Lin Xuanyu, "Oh, by the way, sister, how could Dr. Hua tell you such a thing? Do you know each other well?" If you want to live longer in the palace, you'd better control your mouth. According to her contact with Hua Wensheng, he doesn't look like the kind of person who is open-mouthed.

Lin Xuanyu's face suddenly looked a little strange. He grinned, as if he didn't know what to say. At this time, Zhu Xiang, who had been standing on the side without saying a word, suddenly interrupted, "Mrs. Zhaoyi, it's like this. The little master's body was not very good a while ago. After suffering a little cold, he bothered Dr. Hua a few more times. I saw that the doctor Hua Tai was good and took good care of the little master, so I chatted with him a few more words. The relationship was not bad. Once when I was talking about Xiao Ronghua, Dr. Hua accidentally spilled the beans, and the maidservant wrote it down.

Did you accidentally spill the beans? This reason is really far-fetched. However, Ling Xiao quickly suppressed the hesitation in his eyes. With his relationship with Lin Xuanyu, if she really didn't want to say it, it must be really inconvenient to open her mouth. Anyway, she won't hurt herself. This is also a point of comfort for Ling Xiao. No matter what happens, she believes that there will be no rift between her and Lin Xuanyu.

"So that's it." Ling Xiao smiled gently and was scolded, "My sister is really. She doesn't tell Xiaoer when she is uncomfortable. Although my sister must not want me to worry, now she knows it, but she is uneasy."

Lin Xuanyu was a little shy and sincerely apologized, "It's all my sister's fault. I won't do it next time." She still felt very uneasy about it without telling Ling Xiao, but it was not a trivial matter. She didn't want to involve Ling Xiao together.

The weather is getting warmer, and the two are still secretly staring at Ling Yuechan and Xie Guifei. Ling Yuechan is superficial. Since she sent someone to keep an eye on her, there is no big secret about her every move. It's just that Xie Guifei is not good to each other, and Ling Xiao and others don't dare to do too much.

Since the Empress Dowager has been in charge of the harem, there has not been much disturbance in the palace. On the surface, it is still harmonious. In private, there are occasional short and long stories, and it is inevitable to be jealous. At first, the suspicion was very popular for a while. When he saw that Feng Yuqi had no plan, he gradually stopped.

But there is still no progress in the queen's death. The only thing that can be sure is that the queen was wronged and humiliated and chose to kill herself. And the person who wronged the queen, is it Xie Guifei or Ling Yuechan, or someone else? Ling Xiao didn't know anything.

On this day, Er Lan came to Ling Xiao with a happy face. Er Lan has always been calm and moderate, and will never be so happy and angry. When Ling Xiao saw it, he retreated left and right, only allowing the green fog to stay.

"Mother, Mother Zheng actually eats with the noble father-in-law of Chengde Palace!" Erlan said the matter in a low and hasty voice.

This is indeed a big news, but it is not only because of this matter itself. The most important thing is that Mother Zheng is a person who is close to Xie Guifei and has a close relationship with Zhu Lian.

"M Mother Zheng is more than 40 years old, and your father-in-law, if I remember correctly, she has just reached 30." Qingwu couldn't hide his inner surprise at all. Seeing that there was no one around, he said bluntly.

Ling Xiao thought in his heart that Mother Zheng was the family of Xie Guifei. She has been serving since she was a child. In the early years, she heard that she had also been married, but she was a widow at a young age. After that, she did not marry again and followed Xie to the palace. There is only one son left. Now at the age of twenty-four or twenty-five, relying on the Xie family, he is willing to make progress, but he is also doing well. He has become a knife-catching official under Jing Zhaoyin.

"Mother, Mr. Zheng has a bright future now, and it's the time to have the most face." Erlan has something to mean.

Qingwu also quickly understood what Erlan meant, and his eyes suddenly lit up. He looked at Ling Xiao with hope and said, "Mother, this is a once-in-a-lifetime good time. You have to make up your mind quickly."

There is a trace of hesitation in Ling Xiao's heart. Speaking of which, Mother Zheng is also a poor person. It's hard to have such a son, and she is quite competitive, but she wants to blackmail things that others cherish more than their lives. But on the other hand, there was no other way. He gritted his teeth and nodded.

Erlan and Qingwu are both happy. They just feel that the things that have been secretly pursued in the past few months are finally about to bear fruit.

Since Erlan found this matter, she has always been calm and capable, and the subsequent matters are still up to her.

Ling Xiao spent two days in uneasiness. Er Lan did not let her down, but in only two days, she took something out of Mother Zheng's mouth.

Although the maids and eunuchs are not a big deal about food, and they have not explicitly banned it, it is not very honorable to say, especially a decent old man like Mother Zheng, not to mention that she and the noble father-in-law are so different in age. Once it is known, it is very embarrassing.

Of course, since this matter can be known by Erlan, there is always some news. Anyway, as long as it is not on the surface, it is actually nothing. The key is that Mother Zheng's son is a thousand times heavier than her own life, if it is spread out...

People have weaknesses, and once this weakness is known, it is not difficult to deal with. Mother Zheng dares to do this kind of thing. Of course, she thinks that she has done a good job of confidentiality, but also because she is the person around Xie Guifei. Who dares to deal with her?

What's more, even if she wants to have an operation on her son, in the deep palace compound, even the queen does not have the freedom to enter and exit the palace at will, not to mention other people, who has this ability? So... Ling Xiao? Of course not. Don't say that the Ling family's foundation is not deep. Even if it can help Ling Xiao, it can't quench their thirst.

Well, what we are fighting at this time is psychological warfare. Ling Xiao did not hide the appreciation in his eyes and encouraged Erlan to continue.

"Although Mother doesn't believe it, if Mr. Zheng hears about this one day, I don't know what it is like in the eyes of his colleagues..." Er Lan said, "M Mother Zheng is still holding on, but she can't stand it when she hears it. Although she hates her maidservant, she doesn't dare to take her son's face. Bet on the future."

"Then, the maidservant persuaded her a few more words." Er Lan repeated what she said at that time to Ling Xiao, "To be honest, we maids of honor have no hope in this palace. It's really difficult to be alone. It's really not easy to have a good one for ourselves. If you are worried about offending the Xie family, you can rest assured that this matter will never come out of your mouth.

Ling Xiao nodded. Er Lan's work was indeed watertight. She stopped asking those details and went straight to the point, "What's going on with the queen? How much does she know?"

Er Lan's expression also became solemn, and she subconsciously looked around. Then she said, "Xiao Ronghua framed the queen and gave up herself."

In just a few words, Ling Xiao felt cold in his ears. Although he had doubts for a long time, he was also psychologically prepared, but when he really heard it, he still felt unbelievable.

"The reason why Xie Guifei bought Zhu Lian is indeed intentional, but she also knows that it is unlikely to let Zhu Lian attack Xiao Ronghua, so she just uses her as an eyeliner. If there is anything wrong, she will inform Mother Zheng in time. Xiao Ronghua's fetus was not directly handed by Xie Guifei, but Zhu Lian to instigate her and sacrifice the unknown fetus in exchange for the possible position of queen.

Seeing Ling Xiao listening carefully, Er Lan continued: "According to M Mother Zheng, when everyone knew that when Xiao Ronghua went to see her on the day of her mini birth, the reason why she was a little wrong was that there were some problems. The original plan was set a few days ago. The queen had ordered people to spread the message, saying that she was going to visit Ningxiao Hall at noon. Who would have thought that the queen, who had always been majestic, would suddenly change her mind. Although there was a reason for the incident, Xiao Ronghua had already taken the medicine at that time.

Ling Xiao has already understood that of course, Ling Yuechan will not sacrifice her children in vain. Now that she has done it, she simply does everything, hides things and looks for another opportunity, and Xie Guifei is naturally happy to see it.

"Go and invite Xuan Xiaozhu over." After a long time, after Ling Xiao calmed down a little, he ordered someone to invite Lin Xuanyu over.

When Lin Xuanyu heard about this, she couldn't believe it and said, "Just because of the instigation of a maidservant, can a woman be so cruel?"

No wonder she didn't believe it, but Ling Xiao nodded and said, "With my understanding of Ling Yuechan, she may not be able to do it."

Mother Zheng kept a hand in this matter. After all, she is the old woman in the palace. She has experienced so many big winds and waves. How can she capp the boat so easily? She said the matter half-truth and half-false. She not only gave an explanation to Qi Luantang, but also pushed the responsibility to Ningxiao Hall. If there is anything in the future, it is also Xiao Ronghua's fault.

However, what she and Xie Guifei don't know is that their current nonsense is practically feasible. At the beginning, if Xie Guifei did not take action herself, as Mother Zheng said, she would not have succeeded if she just deceived Ling Yuechan with bait. In that case, the risk of Xie Guifei is even smaller.

"What are you going to do?" Lin Xuanyu looked at Ling Xiao and asked seriously.

I don't know how long it took Ling Xiao whispered, "If the emperor knows about this, Yue Chan will have no way to live. After all, she is mine, sister."

You think she is a girl, but she has never regarded you as a sister. Thinking about it, he had to blurt out, but in the end, Lin Xuanyu just sighed and swallowed back what he wanted to persuade. She doesn't have sisters, and maybe she doesn't understand the feeling of blood connection between sisters.

"Let's go to Ningxiao Hall." After Lin Xuanyu left, it was getting late, but somehow, Ling Xiao suddenly felt cold and especially wanted to see Yue Chan.

Maybe it is doomed in the dark. This temporary idea brought Ling Xiao a devastating blow.
