When Lin Su took Xia Yan and the wet nurse holding the third princess to comfort Empress Dowager Zhao, Empress Dowager Zhao had just woken up and was drinking tonic.
Lin Su realized that she was a little unfortunate, but she came up with an excuse while saling.
"The concubine felt better today, and remembered whether Afu and his three children had quarreled with the empress dowager, so she came over rashly. I have disturbed the Empress Dowager's recuperation, and please forgive me.
Empress Dowager Zhao didn't seem to pay attention to it and asked Alan and A Ling to come over, and then said, "Let these three children be raised by me, but I'm worried that you have to worry about them when you are sick. If you are in good physical body, you can naturally come to see the child at any time.
As she spoke, she looked at the wet nurse standing behind her, and the smile on her face converged slightly. She whispered, "I heard that something happened to Jingfei?"
Lin Su sighed when he heard the words. He got up and took over the beauty in the hands of the maid beside him. He half knelt by the bed. While pounding the Empress Dowager Zhao's legs, he whispered, "Empress dowager, is this good?"
Empress Dowager Zhao nodded and said inadvertently, "Go and make a pot of good tea, send some snacks and fruits by the way, and talk to the imperial concubine."
Naturally, the maids of honor who can serve Empress Dowager Zhao have their own eyes. Hearing this, the Empress Dowager immediately saluted and retreated.
Lin Su turned her head and looked at the wet nurse standing on one side, and Xia Yan immediately understood. He stepped forward and saluted, "It's almost time for the third princess to breastfeed, and the maidservant and the wet nurse retreated first to take care of the third princess."
Empress Dowager Zhao waved her hand, "The side hall next door is fine. The third princess is still young and needs to be carefully served."
Xia Yan answered, pulled the wet nurse and retreated out with her.
It's just a few words, and there are only two old sisters who have served the Empress Dowager Zhao all year round in the whole bedroom. Lin Su naturally knew that the two mistresses were the confidants of the empress dowager, so she was no longer pretentious and briefly told the story. Of course, it is also cleverly mixed with some of her own ideas.
Empress Dowager Zhao listened to Lin Su's words carefully and whispered at the end: "Concubine Jing's family is still impressive. Although the rules are not good, she is still a good person. He has a cheerful nature and doesn't like to do some messy things. However, you know how important it is to murder the emperor and the imperial concubine. The mourning family felt that since there was no evidence to prove that she was innocent, it was necessary to lock her up.
"I understand." Lin Su bowed her head and beat the Empress Dowager's legs without even stopping. She understood what Empress Dowager Zhao meant and had already guessed it.
The matter is related to the life and death of Si Yu, and he would rather kill by mistake than let it go.
Therefore, her head is lower, and her voice is soft and slow.
"My concubine didn't come here to plead for Concubine Jing, but..." Lin Su looked up at the Empress Dowager Zhao, "My concubine said something transcendent. This time, the concubine lost her womb child, but there is no one who wants to attack the concubine. Both the Empress Dowager and the emperor should know this. Although the concubine is blunt, the empress dowager and the emperor should also have suspicious people in their hearts..."
Empress dowager Zhao suddenly straightened up. She looked down at Lin Su kneeling by the bed. After a while, she slowly leaned against the head of the bed and squinted and said, "Go on."
"I just want to ask, if it's really that person, why hasn't Li Qiulan panicked at all these days after she was arrested? Is she confident, or..."
Lin Su hesitated, looked up at the Empress Dowager Zhao in panic, and even stopped the movements of his hands.
The two looked at each other for a while, and then the Empress Dowager Zhao suddenly sat up straight. However, this time, she did not go to see Lin Su again. Instead, she turned her head to the old mother beside her and said, "Get a sedan chair. The mourning family wants to... The mourning family and the imperial concubine are going to visit the queen in the cold palace!"
The Mother who listened to the order made a salute and retreated. Lin Su lowered her head and beat the Empress Dowager Zhao's legs again. About two quarters later, the M Mother came back and said that the chariot was ready to stop.
Lin Su got up and personally helped Empress Dowager Zhao go out. After Empress Dowager Zhao got into the chariot, she left Lin Su to serve alone. Unexpectedly, she didn't even bring the two sisters.
The carriage shook slightly. In the sound of bells outside the car, Empress Dowager Zhao slowly narrowed her eyes and seemed to be in low spirits.
"Tpeak your guess?"
Her voice was calm and with an old fatigue, but Lin Su's heart trembled and hesitated. Seeing that the Empress Dowager Zhao seemed to close her eyes like this, she was not anxious at all. Then he whispered, "The concubine's guess is the same as that of the empress dowager. I'm afraid that the empress will change in the cold palace."
Empresses Zhao didn't respond to the words and seemed to be really asleep. Lin Su only felt that her heart was pounding harder and harder, as if she was about to jump out of her mouth.
Empress Zhao has been regardless of things for many years. Since the death of Empress Dowager Lan, Zhou Shuxian has been banned. Lin Su is in charge of all the affairs of the harem. Over time, she naturally relaxed her vigilance. Now it seems that Empress Dowager Zhao, as Si Yu's biological mother, can exert strength for Si Yu in the battle for the throne, and it is not a simple person.
She quickly went through what she had said to Empress Dowager Zhao in her mind, and then tried to speak calmly.
"My concubine is bold. Since I woke up, I have been thinking about who is so bold that I dare to instruct Li Qiulan to poison the emperor's diet." She whispered, "I wonder who can instruct Li Qiulan. After thinking about it, except that Li Qiulan's family has a rebellious heart, it must be someone in this harem..."
Lin Su's tone slowed down and looked up at the Empress Dowager.
"Well, go on." Then the Empress Dowager slowly opened her eyes and glanced at Lin Su and said, "You should be smart first. It's right to think of these."
Lin Su quickly lowered her head. Since she had revealed something in front of Empress Dowager Zhao, she could no longer be too modest, otherwise it would be annoying.
"When my concubine thought so, she felt that there were too few people in this palace who could make Li Qiulan do this regardless of the fate of the whole family of the Li family." She said calmly, "I'm afraid there are only three people. The first is the concubine. My concubine is in charge of the six palaces and the division of the imperial concubine. It's easy to embarrass her as a nobleman.
"You are really frank, and you are not afraid that your family will really doubt you."
Lin Su smiled bitterly, "My concubine is just a matter of fact. Naturally, my concubine knows that it's not me..."
