296 Truth
Lin Su's sudden change of the topic made Wang Liulian cold, and there was a flaw on her face. She quickly covered it up. However, when she saw that Lin Su's eyes were staring at herself and knew that she could no longer hide it, she slowly lowered her head and said, "The Empress came out of the whirlpool of right and wrong, if she is rolled up again. What's the point of going in?"
As she spoke, she looked up at Lin Su and looked at her quickly. She saw that Lin Su did not look at herself, but seemed to leisurely fiddle the tea leaves in the teacup with her hand, and her expression darkened.
However, she still doesn't want to give up like this.
"Don't the Empress think about Prince Afu, Princess Aling, and Prince Allen?"
Lin Su paused and slowly looked up at Wang Liulian. Wang Liulian was secretly relieved when she saw that her statement worked. As a result, before she could work harder, she saw Lin Su turn her head and look at herself.
"Is it the queen, or the person you are more afraid of - the Blue Empress Dowager?"
"Madam, this is not what my concubine said." Wang Liulian was so scared that she immediately slipped off the chair and knelt at Lin Su's feet. "My concubine, my concubine..." was so panic that she didn't know what to say.
Lin Su looked at her and smiled softly. She got up and helped Wang Liulian get up in person. She said softly, "Of course, you didn't say anything, but you just broke the truth by me. Now that things have come to this point, what do you have to hide?
Wang Liulian was put back in her position, and Lin Su did not sit down. She stood condescendingly and looked down at the other party. "Tell me, how much do you know about this matter?"
Wang Liulian looked up at Lin Su. Seeing that it was not true, she smiled with a decadence and bitter smile, and told everything she had seen and heard that day.
It was the afternoon before Zhao Yuexin pulled Wei Tiantian down together. Because she had a nightmare while taking a nap, Wang Liulian left the maid beside her and wandered around in the garden of the harem. As a result, I unconsciously went to a remote garden near the Empress Dowager's palace. She was sitting behind a bush in a daze, but she faintly heard a voice of flattery.
She originally wanted to come out, but another voice made her hesitate.
Wang Liulian recognized that the voice was the empress dowager. As for the voice of flattery, I just thought about it for a moment and realized that it was Zhao Yuexin.
And the conversation between the two made her dare not show up. Knowing that the two had left for a long time, she trembled and climbed out of the thickets. Looking at the empty garden, she thought that she had fallen asleep in the bushes and had nightmares before.
However, the dialogue between Empress Dowager Lan and Zhao Yuexin kept echoing in her ears, so when she came out of the Chaofeng Hall the next day, she subconsciously opened some distance from Zhao Yuexin. But she didn't expect that it was precisely this that let her escape the fate of being pulled to the ground.
"You mean, the Empress Dowager said to the late Shufei that if the emperor only had her children, she would naturally not be paid attention to her and her children by other emperors?" Lin Su repeated Wang Liulian's previous words in a low voice. Seeing Wang Liulian nodded, she took a step back and fell down and sat down, "If you dare to lie to me..."
"If my concubine has a lie, he won't die." Wang Liulian immediately raised her hand and swore. Seeing her like this, Lin Su slowly relaxed and reluctantly smiled at her, "It's late. I'm also tired. You have been out for so long, I'm afraid the second princess will miss you.
Wang Liulian immediately stood up and saluted and retreated. Lin Su quickly asked Chunyan to send her away, and then leaned against the head of the bed and pulled the quilt over her body to recall what Wang Liulian had said before.
Wang Liulian's words were not flawless. At least Lin Su absolutely did not believe that she overheard the reason for the dialogue between Empress Dowager Lan and Zhao Yuexin. Wang Liulian is calm, responsive, and thoughtful. The only one who will be awakened by nightmares and walk around the palace may be a brave and resourceless blue heart, not a scheming woman.
However, Lin Su also believes that at least half of what Wang Liulian said to her is credible, and the most important half.
It's just that she didn't expect that it was Empress Dowager Lan, not Zhou Shuxian? Or, she never thought that Empress Dowager Lan would take action for Zhou Shuxian after Lan Xin entered the palace.
There was a sound of footsteps outside. Soon, Chunyan opened the curtain and entered the room first. First, she looked at the charcoal basin and added some new carbon. Then she poured a cup of hot water into Lin Su's hand and whispered, "I have sent Lianchen back."
Lin Su nodded and made no sound. Seeing this, Chunyan hesitated for a moment before whispering, "Master, is Lian Chenfei's words credible?" The relationship between the Empress Dowager Lan and Shufei was not close. Why did she make suggestions for Shufei?
Lin Su looked down at the steaming teacup in his hand, pulled a smile and said sarcastically, "It's just killing people with a knife." After a short pause, she let go of one hand and gently held Chunyan's cold hand and whispered, "I thought there was only the queen behind these things, but I didn't expect that there would be Empress Dowager Lan. I'm really too careless..."
"Master, you have done a good job." Chunyan held Lin Su's hand, looked up at Lin Su's face seriously, and whispered, "At least this time, we didn't let them succeed. Even, if we can deepen something more and don't need the master's own hands, we can let Grandpa Chang deal with those people ruthlessly."
Lin Su looked a little heavy. She pondered for a moment, pulled her hand out of Chunyan's hand and took a sip of warm water, and then whispered, "Go back to explore Xia Yan's thoughts. If she wants to go out of the palace and live a good life, don't say anything messy. If she really wants to stay with me and doesn't know what to do because of this matter..."
She paused here and hesitated for a long time before saying, "Just ask whether it is a brother-sister relationship between her and Grandpa Chang, or..."
Lin Su couldn't say that in the end, and Chunyan looked at her embarrassed and took the initiative to say, "Master, don't worry, I know what to do. After all, I grew up with Xia Yan. Naturally, I sincerely hope that she can live a good life.
Lin Su nodded, handed over the cup in her hand, and whispered, "I'm a little tired. Go down."
Chunyan cleaned up the house and then gently went out of the door. Lin Su heard her footsteps getting farther and farther away before opening his eyes again.
She knows better than anyone else's ability to be rich. Although he is just a eunuch, he will be Si Yu's right arm in the future. If he can stand on his side...
