222 Empress Dowager Zhao

Concubine Chen's request stunned everyone. Lin Su looked around hesitantly, and finally looked at the Empress Dowager Zhao and whispered, "Empress Queen, I'm afraid this matter is going to be reported to the emperor, right?"

Empresses Zhao came to her senses, nodded, used this excuse to send Concubine Chen, and then showed a smile of appreciation to Lin Su, covering her lips and making a tired look. All the women were exquisitely thoughtful, and they immediately stood up to say goodbye one by one. Lin Su originally wanted to leave with her, but she was left behind by Empress Dowager Zhao.

"Empress Dowager?" Lin Su was a little surprised. When the Empress led the maid to withdraw all the things in the hall and brought a pot of new tea and refreshments, she sat next to the Empress Dowager Zhao according to the other party's instructions and blinked her eyes uncertainly, "Is it because of Concubine Chen?"

Empress Dowager Zhao showed a look of satisfaction, nodded slightly and motioned Lin Su to drink tea.

"You have been tired all day, and you should have let you go back to rest." Empress Dowager Zhao pinched a piece of tea, took a bite and gently put it on the edge of the plate, and whispered, "However, what Concubine Chen did today made me worried. She... She has always been quiet in this harem and light with anyone, but only you have some friendship with her. So, I want to ask you if you know what she did today?

Lin Su lowered her head and meditated for a moment, and then looked up at the Empress Dowager Zhao and whispered, "I heard Concubine Chen mention this matter earlier..."

Speaking of this, she stood up again and looked up at Empress Dowager Zhao.

"I remember that at that time, Concubine Chen said that she had slightly dreamed about the little things she got along with the emperor, saying that she also heard the emperor ask her why she didn't continue to raise that little sparrow..."

"Little sparrow?" Empress Dowager Zhao raised her eyebrows slightly and looked at Lin Su doubtfully.

Lin Su nodded with a smile and said, "According to Concubine Chen, that little finch is a puppy given to her by the emperor at the beginning, and she has been kept by her side. Since the death of the previous emperor, the little sparrow has not eaten or drunk, and finally died.

"It's a loyal dog." Empress Dowager Zhao made a faint comment, but her face remained unchanged. She continued to look at Lin Su and motioned her to continue.

Lin Su put down the teacup in her hand and looked up at the Empress Dowager and said, "Concubine Chen said that she has always dreamed of what happened in those years these days, and she was also a concubine who talked a lot. She said that she would definitely have dreams every day and night. Who knew that this made Concubine Chen in a bad mood and hurriedly left the Fuliu Hall.

"So, is Concubine Chen's previous statement true?" Empress Dowager Zhao bowed her head and meditated.

Lin Su took a look and ate a snack hesitantly, and then opened his mouth as if he had summoned up courage.

"My concubine didn't dare to confirm this. Perhaps, Concubine Chen just deliberately mentioned this in front of me, just to prepare for today's speech in front of the Empress Dowager. Her face was hesitant and uneasy, which made Empress Dowager Zhao smile.

She reached out and patted Lin Su's shoulder gently, "You child, you are still too careful. In front of me, I don't have to be so cautious. I naturally have a conclusion in my heart about which is right or wrong.

"Yes, I remember." Lin Su nodded with a smile, and her face looked better. After sneaking a look at the Empress Dowager Zhao, she said tentatively again, "However, my concubines don't understand that although there are royal family members buried in the imperial mausoleum, and there are maids and honors guarding the mausoleum all year round, but compared with the palace, it is a bitter cold place after all. If Concubine Chen used her mind in front of her concubine before, what is she for? Do you want to leave this richly dressed palace and want to guard the mausoleum for the emperor?

Empress Dowager Zhao looked at Lin Su with satisfaction, "Your mind is very delicate. No wonder the emperor always value you." She nodded with a smile and motioned the M Mother beside her to give Lin Su more tea, and then continued, "Think about it again."

Lin Su was slightly stunned and didn't expect that when it came to this, Empress Dowager Zhao was not satisfied. Thinking about this, she could only bow her head and continue to pretend to be meditate. After a long time, she whispered, "Concubine Chen is tired of the days of this palace...so...so..."

After two consecutive "so", she didn't dare to say the rebellious idea, but just looked up at the Empress Dowager Zhao.

"So what, say it. I won't blame you."

Lin Su muttered that if the two were not close, even the Empress Dowager Zhao would not have heard her words.

"So, it's just an excuse for her to leave the palace and go to the imperial mausoleum?"

Empress Dowager Zhao took a deep breath and stared at Lin Su. Lin Su only felt that she seemed to be treated as a prey by some beast. Only then did she really understand that she could survive in the battle in the harem and make her son become the emperor's woman. How could she not see anything?

She looked at the empress dowager almost with some difficulty, and her lips moved slightly, "The empress dowager... It's my concubine who lost her words, and please atone for the empress dowager..."

When Empress Dowager Zhao saw her look scared, her eyes gradually softened. She picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, and then whispered, "It's late. You have been tired all day, but I'm afraid you haven't come back to see the two little guys. Go back and have a rest."

"This..." Lin Su immediately got up and looked at the Empress Dowager Zhao hesitantly. Then he knelt down and withdrew from the hall.

Chunyan and Xia Yan are guarding outside, and Xia Yan came from behind. After all, the other concubines returned to their respective places, but only Lin Su did not come back. She was uneasy and explained everyone's affairs in the Fuliu Hall and hurriedly came.

When she went out, she saw that Xia Yan was also waiting. Lin Su thought there was something wrong with Fuliu Hall. After listening to her, she realized that she was worried about herself. She was a little warm in her heart but didn't say much. She just held or grabbed Chunyan's arm and walked in the direction of Fuliu Hall.

Lin Su didn't have a good rest that night. All she dreamed about was being held in the palace in the palace in the end until she finally lost her child... She screamed and woke up from her sleep.

I got up and looked outside, but I saw that it was still dark outside.

I didn't wake up the spring sparrow that was guarding outside. She got up and poured herself a cup of herbal tea and drank half of it. Then she felt more comfortable. She lay back back ** and looked at the dark and dazed outside.

Today, Empress Dowager Zhao's reaction was really unexpected. She always felt that she seemed to have done something wrong. However, according to the situation at that time, if she didn't say much, I'm afraid that Empress Dowager Zhao would be disappointed in her. In the harem, Zhou Shuxian and Zhou Shude have the support of Empress Dowager Lan. And she struggled to make the imperial concubine become the current Empress Dowager Zhao. If she turns to support the rest of the harem, I'm afraid that she will really become a joke and will never have a chance to really compete with Zhou Shuxian and the Zhou family and the Lan family behind her.
