187 temptation

"Master." As soon as Xia Yan entered the door, she immediately saluted Lin Su. Chunyan handed her a bowl of herbal tea. She drank it in one breath and then said, "I have figured it out. After the master left, everyone else also left one after another. Although Zhou Meiren is a few steps later than others, she is not much worse. On the contrary, Lan Concubine didn't come out of it until about half an hour after Zhou Mei left.

"Blue Concubine stayed in the empress dowager's palace for half an hour?" Lin Su frowned slightly, took a sip of the tea beside him, and then whispered, "After that, where have they gone?"

"Beauty Zhou went to the Queen's Chaofeng Hall. As for the blue concubine, she seemed to take a detour back to Ruifuju where she lived." Xia Yan responded in a low voice, looked around, and whispered, "According to the maidservant, I'm afraid that the blue concubine deliberately bypassed the lake. Master, it seems that last night's 'haunted' really scared out the guilty people.

Lin Su glanced at Xia Yan and said, "It's not advisable to be complacent. What's more, we don't have real evidence. Maybe the blue concubine is just less bold than ordinary women. This doesn't mean anything. Xia Yan, in this harem, you should be cautious and speak cautiously.

"I know." Xia Yan nodded and playfully spit out her tongue at Chunyan beside her. Then she took two steps forward and whispered, "Master, tonight, will you..."

Lin Su shook her head, interrupted her words, and prevented her from continuing to talk.

"Xia Yan, remember that once you force your opponent too tightly, it is easy for them to make a choice to die together in a situation. We just want to defeat our opponents, not go to a dead end with our opponents. Lin Su smiled faintly, "Only a loosening and tight can make people really despair."

Xia Yan was slightly stunned, and then whispered, "I know."

Lin Su waved casually, and then changed the question and said, "What's the situation now?"

"I heard that Lord Lan is in good health every day. A few days ago, he ate half a bowl of porridge more than usual, and he has been able to say some simple words vaguely." Xia Yan looked straight and quickly answered Lin Su's question, "Concubine Chen's side, the maidservant just went to visit yesterday. She looked much better. I think of what the royal doctor Feng said when he saw her."

Lin Su thought about this and hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Feng Jing is not that kind of person. When he is not sure about something, he will not tell Concubine Chen or anything." After a slight pause, Lin Su's eyes slowly lit up. "Maybe it's because Dr. Feng has got what everyone wants."

It's just, what the hell is that?

The property of the Lan family, or did the Lan family rob the property of the Su family?

If it is only money, Si Yu, as the king of a country and has had large and small natural disasters everywhere since his accession to the throne, may be moved. But Lin Su knew in his heart that if it was just like this, his father Lin Zhuoyan would never be moved.

He must be for something more important.

Thinking of these things, Lin Su suddenly felt a burst of upset in his heart. He casually threw aside the things in his hand and motioned Xia Yan to help herself get up. Then he whispered, "How's the queen now?"

"Empress, the queen is now low and young. She looks gentle in front of the Empress Dowager or the emperor. This month, in addition to the first and fifteenth day of the first lunar month, the emperor also went to the Feng Hall for two nights." Xia Yan knew everything Lin Su wanted to know. When she heard Lin Su's question, she immediately responded without any hesitation.

"It's just four times. It's nothing." Lin Su answered faintly and held Xia Yan's hand and walked towards the door, "Accompany me out and walk around."

"Speaking of which, Lan Xin has also served four or five times this month, right?"

Xia Yan answered in a low voice, "It's five times. In addition, there were two times on the side of Zhou Meiren, and once on the side of Zhao Shuren and Wang Shuren. In addition, I rested in the study for six nights, and the rest of the days were on the master's side.

"Most of the emperor came here to see Afu and A Ling, but even because of this, I'm afraid that some people in the harem regard me as a thorn in the flesh. Today, the Empress Dowager has made her words clear. She only hopes that the rest of the harem will open more branches and leaves for the emperor, so as to share the emperor's favor with Afu and A Ling.

Lin Su looked at the blooming flowers in the yard and only felt that the boredom in his heart gradually dissipated, so he went to the eaves beside him, sat casually on the railing, leaned against the pillar, and whispered, "However, the queen now looks like to keep her light and recuperate just for the emperor. I'm afraid that a woman like this harem will forget that she is the queen and the lord of the six palaces after all. Even if she is the Empress Dowager, you can't underestimate her too much. Otherwise, in this harem..."

With a soft smile, Lin Su showed a tired look on her face and whispered, "Now in this harem, a queen is still needed."

"Master, what you mean..." Xia Yan, who followed Lin Su, didn't understand and asked in a low voice. However, Lin Su just smiled and did not explain deeply.

Only the next day, after Lin Su went to the Empress Dowager's place early in the morning to give her a bow, she turned a corner on the way back and walked towards the Feng Hall.

Wang Liulian and Zhao Yuexin, who were following her all the way, were stunned for a moment, stood behind and looked at each other, and then followed them together.

"The virtuous concubine, today is..." Zhao Yuexin was not as calm as Wang Liulian, and subconsciously asked. Lin Su looked back at her and said with a smile, "I haven't seen the Empress for many days. I only heard that she is not feeling well, so I can't go to say hi to the Empress Dowager. However, even if we concubines occasionally disturb the Empress, we should go and say hello.

What she said was simple and clear. Although Zhao Yuexin still had some things that seemed to understand, Wang Liulian vaguely understood something and whispered, "What the Empress said was that the concubines were usually lazy to do such a rude thing."

As she spoke, she gently pulled Zhao Yuexin, and the two followed Lin Su to the Chaofeng Hall.

Zhou Shuxian has long hated Lin Su. Lin Su also understood in her heart, but she knew better what Zhou Shuxian cared about more than hating herself.

"Speaking of which, when I greeted the empress dowager yesterday, the empress dowager also specially asked Lan and Zhou Meiren to take good care of their bodies so that they could spread their branches and leaves for the emperor." Lin Su held the teacup and said lightly, and the expression on her face was also faint, but Zhou Shuxian was so angry that she secretly gritted her teeth.
