378 Emperor asked

Lin Su's confession completely softened the Empress Dowager Zhao's expression. She comforted Lin Su in a low voice, "The emperor has always spoiled you, and there will still be children in the future."

"The concubine understood in her heart, but..." Lin Su barely squeezed her lower lip and smiled, took out a veil and gently wiped the corners of her eyes. Then she whispered, "It's my concubine who lost her temper. Please forgive me."

"You just lost your son, which is reasonable." Empress Dowager Zhao gently patted the back of Lin Su's hand, "You shouldn't have bothered about these things. You just need to take good rest..."

"..." Lin Su looked up and looked at the Empress Dowager Zhao with tears in her eyes. "I just want to know who killed my child!"

Empress Dowager Zhao was silent for a moment before she let go of Lin Su's hand.

"So, who do you think poisoned the queen?"

Lin Su hesitated for a moment, and then whispered, "I don't know that anyone can do it. Even, my concubine suspected that it was the queen who poisoned herself to avoid being suspected.

She finally made this bold guess. The Empress Dowager looked at her in surprise, and Lin Su just shook her head, "I don't want to think so, but who else can hurt her in the cold palace?"

"But..." The Empress Dowager hesitated, and Lin Su shook her head. "My concubine knew in her heart that the emperor locked the empress in the cold palace not only annoyed her, but also to protect her... The people around the empress are her confidants, and it is impossible to be bought by anyone..."

"You mean..." The Empress Dowager shook her head, "Yes, no one has any reason to poison her. She has fallen out of favor and been imprisoned in the cold palace, and even the second prince she raised has been returned to the name of Princess Lian.

Lin Su nodded, "What I can't understand most is why would someone instruct Li Qiulan to murder the emperor? What's the purpose of doing this?"

The Empress Dowager's face became a little difficult to look. Lin Su looked at her and did not continue to talk. The two sat in the pavilion and were silent for almost two quarters of an hour. Then the Empress Dowager took a deep breath and said, "The mourning family is tired. Send the mourning family back to the palace."

Lin Su got up and helped the empress's hand and left the pavilion. The chariot outside the path was waiting. The empress dowager ordered an old woman beside her to summon Si Yu, saying that Lin Su was eating at her side today.

Lin Su hesitated for a moment and then laughed, "My concubine may not have had dinner with A Ling and the others for a long time. If the Empress Dowager doesn't mind the concubine and those children..."

"Just ask someone to take them over and eat together." Empress Dowager Zhao answered with a smile, and then helped Lin Su's hand into the carriage.

I thought it was lively enough to have a group of children, but I didn't expect that Si Yu would also come at dinner.

"I heard that my mother took Suer to visit the queen today?" Si Yu sat aside, and A Ling immediately rushed over with a smile. He hugged A Ling and looked at Empress Dowager Zhao and Lin Su with a smile. "He also asked someone to invite Zhang Yu's doctor, but... Is there anything wrong with the queen?"

Lin Su hesitated for a moment and looked at the Empress Dowager. Si Yu raised his eyebrows slightly and also looked at the Empress Dowager.

"Mother, but what's wrong with the queen's body?"

Empress Dowager Zhao sighed and said, "Let's eat first, wait until we finish eating, and then talk about these things." When the Empress Dowager said so, Si Yu did not insist. First, she hugged A Ling and asked A Fu's homework, then asked Allen what she was doing in recent days, and finally asked the third princess's wet nurse what the third princess had eaten today.

Lin Su asked A Ling to sit next to her, wash her hands carefully, and looked at A Fu, who helped Allen wash his hands, and smiled.

"Afu is becoming more and more like a brother. It seems that he teaches very well." Lin Su praised in a low voice and motioned Xia He next to Afu to take a veil, and then got up to serve the Empress Dowager to wash. Then roll up the sleeves for the Empress Dowager and Si Yue Bucai.

"You're not well yet, just sit down and eat together." The Empress Dowager looked at Lin Subu's two chopsticks and ordered her to sit down, "Sit down, this jade bamboo duck soup was specially sent by the royal chef. Try it. It's the best way to mend your body.

Lin Su sat down with a smile. After listening to the order of the queen, the maid immediately filled a bowl of soup and sent it to Lin Su.

"Try it." The Empress Dowager smiled and ordered. Lin Su answered in a low voice, picked up the spoon and tasted it and smiled, "This soup is really mellow. I thanked the Empress Dowager for her love."

The Empress Dowager smiled and motioned to the maid beside her to make a bowl for everyone, which made the maid around her cook for herself.

After eating a meal, it was also speechless. After the meal, the maid withdrew from the table and brought fruit plates and refreshments. Si Yu teased Allen to eat some fruit, so that the wet nurse took them down to rest.

After the empress dowager, Si Yu and Lin Su were left by the master in the palace, Si Yu put down the teacup and said lightly, "The queen has been raising her body in the palace these days, and the imperial concubine is also empty. Why did she get interested in seeing the queen today?"

"If the imperial concubine hadn't reminded her family today, I'm afraid that the queen would have died in the harem." The Empress Dowager snorted coldly and then put down the teacup in her hand. Hearing a crisp sound from the teacup, Lin Su's hand trembled slightly, and the tea inside almost spilled out.

She took a deep breath, put down the cup in her hand, and whispered the Empress Dowager's words. Zhou Shuxian's appearance was indeed shocking, and she whispered clearly about the previous situation.

"...The empress dowager also pityed the queen, so she moved out of the cold palace. Now she is letting Dr. Zhang take care of her carefully."

Si Yu nodded slowly, "The queen is poisoned in the cold palace?"

The Empress Dowager nodded her head and frowned and said, "According to the mourning family, I'm afraid that the slaves around the queen should be judged clearly first. The mourning family has had someone to arrest those people before. Does the emperor want to see it?"

Si Yu nodded and hesitated before getting up and saluted, "Mother, you'd better rest first. It's better to leave these things to the minister and the imperial concubine."

The Empress Dowager nodded tiredly and turned her head to call Mother Zhang, "Let her follow you there. No matter what letter there is, I always need to know."

Si Yu nodded and answered, and Lin Su immediately stood up and saluted and retreated. When he walked out of the hall, Si Yu asked in a low voice, "Why is Xia He the only one to serve, where is Xia Yan?"

"My concubine thought about the queen's poisoning, but I was afraid it was a little strange, so I left Xia Yan to serve..."
