377 Doubt and Doubt
"My family's health is not good these days, and I haven't been out to go out for a walk for a long time. Now the palace is full of flowers, but I have some interest in walking around. Let the carriage go back first and leave Mage Gui and Mother Zhang to serve. The rest of the people go back."
Out of the cold palace, the Empress Dowager Zhao turned her head and looked at Lin Su without even getting on the carriage.
Lin Su hurriedly saluted and said, "How can the empress dowager be less than the people around her? The concubine is willing to serve the left and right and accompany the Empress Dowager to the garden.
She also asked the people around her to leave first, and personally came forward to hold the hand of Empress Dowager Zhao and accompany her forward.
Empress Dowager Zhao did not walk fast, and Lin Su served on one side carefully and did not dare to make any negligence. The two old matan clearly knew that the Empress Dowager had something to say to Lin Su, so she naturally walked slower, hanging behind not far away, and also served at any time.
When the group of people turned out of the cold palace and looked at the maids coming and going, Empress Dowager Zhao opened her mouth lightly.
"How can the queen be poisoned?" She turned her head and looked at Lin Su, "Who poisoned her, and who might poison her?"
Lin Su was stunned and then thought about how to answer the question of the Empress Dowager. Of course, it can't be said that she doesn't know, which will make her look too incompetent. However, knowing too much will also make the Empress Dowager doubt...
"My concubine believes that the person who is most likely to poison the queen silently is naturally by her side, so that she can poison her silently..." Lin Su hesitated for a moment and then continued, "But now the people serving by the queen are all trustworthy. If she thinks so, she doesn't feel much. Maybe it's the frightened hands of the people around her.
"Doctor Zhang said that the poison on the queen's body was slowly taken down. If it weren't for the people around her, who would it be?" Empress Dowager Zhao's eyes were sharp and cold, and Lin Su was stared at by her and only felt a burst of coldness all over her body.
"A few days ago, Lianfei often took the second prince to visit the empress, saying that the second prince was getting weaker and weaker because he missed his mother..." She subconsciously said the only thing she thought of, and then realized what she was talking about. I, the Empress Dowager, I'm not... I..."
She looked nervously at the Empress Dowager and slowly let go of her hand.
"It can't be Lianfei's... She..."
Even if she knew that there must be some agreement between Wang Liulian and Zhou Shuxian, Lin Su still did not want to believe that Wang Liulian would poison Zhou Shuxian.
In his opinion, the biggest possibility is that Zhou Shuxian poisoned herself just in case. Of course, in case this happens now. Li Qiulan failed. Although this fire only burned Wei Tiantian on the surface, the two most powerful people in the world were doubting her.
However, Zhou Shuxian's own poisoning changed things. Empress Dowager Zhao seemed to be dissatisfied with Zhou Shuxian's attitude and didn't even want Dr. Zhang to tell the truth about Zhou Shuxian's poisoning. However, the more so, the more it showed her attitude.
She doubted whether Zhou Shuxian was also a victim, but it was pulled out to deal with the last important nail arranged by Lan and Zhou in the royal family.
And such a result, although Lin Su wants, is endless. After that, I'm afraid that the Empress Dowager and Si Yue will investigate who poisoned Zhou Shuxian. And such a thing can't be investigated clearly. After thinking about it, she, the last beneficiary, will become the biggest suspect.
Once such a suspicion exists in the hearts of Si Yu and Empress Dowager Zhao, I'm afraid she will not survive.
She wants revenge in her life, just to forget the shadow of her last life and live well. If you have managed to complete the sacrifice to your own children in your previous life, but die meaninglessly, is everything you did before still meaningful?
She can't be the object of suspicion...
Thinking of this, Lin Su looked up at the Empress Dowager, "I believe that Lianfei is definitely not the one who poisoned the empress. Even though she took the second prince to visit the queen repeatedly, it has not been nearly a month..."
"You are willing to say something for others." Empress Dowager Zhao hummed softly, and then reached out to signal Lin Su to continue to help herself move forward. I also believe that Lianfei doesn't have the courage. As for Concubine Jing, even though Li Qiulan confessed that Concubine Jing instructed her to poison the emperor, Concubine Jing has always been alone and has not had deep contact with the concubines in the harem. As for the cold palace, it has never been close.
"Concubine Jing will not do such a thing..." Lin Su answered in a low voice, waiting nervously for the Empress Dowager's final conclusion.
At this time, Empress Dowager Zhao seemed to deliberately hang Lin Su and stopped talking. Lin Su was as nervous as a cat, but he did not dare to act rashly. He could only accompany the Empress Dowager along the path.
It was not until the two entered a pavilion, and the maids and eunuchs serving outside immediately sent cushions to serve them to sit down, and the Empress Dowager slowly opened her mouth.
"I remember that you married the emperor as a side concubine when you were 13 years old, right?"
Lin Su was stunned, and then whispered, "That year, my concubine was fifteen years old, and she was indeed thirteen years old." She didn't understand what the Empress Dowager meant at this moment, so she didn't dare to say anything more.
The Empress Dowager showed a nostalgic smile when she heard the words, "At that time, your father Lin Zhuoyan was not of high grade. Do you know why you and Li Moshan were chosen as side concubines?
"Is it because... it will not make the queen's heart unswerving..." Lin Su whispered that the selection of concubines in those years can be said to be a compromise between the royal family against Lan and Zhou. In the end, after the election of the main concubine, two other side concubines were set up. On the surface, it was to let Si Yu make branches and leaves for the royal family. In fact, it was just that the royal family wanted to fight back to the Lan and Zhou families, but they were afraid that the status of the elected side concubine was too high and really angered the Lan and Zhou families.
Speaking of which, as an emperor, it is the greatest sadness in the world that he can't grasp the government with one hand.
"Your nature has always been loved by my family." Empress Dowager Zhao didn't know what Lin Su was thinking. Seeing that she was panicked at this time, her tone softened. "It's just that sometimes, you are too cautious. Can't you believe what you are?"
"Empress Dowager..." Lin Su looked up at Empress Zhao, "My concubine is just for the three children, Ah Fu, Allen and A Ling. The Empress Dowager should know more about the things in the harem than her concubine. My concubine only wants to live a stable day. In the future, I can watch Ah Fu and Allen get married, and A Ling will also marry a good husband..."
"The concubine has dreamed of the unstined child yesterday, thinking that if he could be left, it must be happy with two brothers and one sister on it..." Lin Su said, and two lines of tears flowed down her thin cheeks.
