Chapter 296 Conspiracy

"Baolin also saw it. After returning to the palace, she was pregnant. The first thing she asked for was an imperial edict to move out. Our empress thought to herself that it would be good for her..."

"You mean...my child is her?" Meng Baolin's face changed greatly.

"In the past few months, the empress has also asked people to check, and even spent money to send people to the palace. Although everyone around Zhang was gone that day, it was not impossible to find. I dare not say that there is very strong evidence, but She indeed asked that girl to instigate Zhang's many things. I'm afraid it's difficult to find out, but how can the things in the palace be so coincidental? I'm afraid that on that day, she was jealous of the empress' recommendation to see you, which is not nice to say. Yes, if you give birth to an heir first, Leshou Palace is no different. I only have so much love for you, and I will always protect you first. However, she has been following your mother for many years, so she is afraid of injustice."

Dou Su has said so much, but the only thing that caught Meng Baolin's ears was one key point. Why did Wen Meiren move out when she was pregnant?

She thought carefully about what happened that day, and the girl next to Zhang was indeed suspicious, but unfortunately there was no way to investigate.

"Baolin, please don't show it. In fact, it's okay if our lady doesn't tell you. I just feel sorry for you. If you still don't know the truth..." Dou Su said.

Meng Baolin slowly shook his head: "Thank you for my Majesty, of course I am willing to know."

"Nowadays, everyone is fine, but you are the only one who is like this. Our queen is heartbroken to see you. I just hope that you will get better and that you will not make other people too proud in the future. It's just that today's matter, after all, our queen can't explain it. We have a lot of evidence, please Baolin to keep it a secret. If these things are found out someday, our empress and the third prince will not dare to agree... I hope you understand."

"Yes, of course. I know, and I am grateful to the empress." Meng Baolin wiped his tears: "I understand what the empress means. Just go back and recover. I just pretend that I have never heard of this."

Dou Su said some more comforting words, got up and left.

Qi'er and Qin'er came back to see Meng Baolin crying, and nervously asked what was wrong.

Meng Baolin just shook his head.

After a long time, she asked: "Qin'er, last time you said, is there any medicine that can cure me?"

"This..." Qin'er flashed: "Baolin, that medicine can cure diseases, but it... can also hurt the body."

"It doesn't matter." Meng Baolin smiled: "Just tell me where to find it."

 In the Leshou Palace, Concubine Kangde was doing needlework while listening to Dou Su's reply.

"I think she's already moved. Qin'er told her about those things a long time ago, so she must be using them soon."

"Although I am not sure about this matter, I have known what kind of temperament that Wen Mei has a long time ago. Now she is getting her wish. She has climbed to the status of beauty. Depending on her ability, sooner or later she will take the position of the ninth concubine. Yes. It’s better to bury a nail for her.”

"Yes, the empress has all her plans, but... I don't understand. Even if Wen Meiren climbs up, it won't be the same, right? She..." Dou Su was puzzled.

"I suppressed her for many years, how can she not hate me? It's okay if she can't stand out. If you stand out, how can you not think of the humiliation in the past? Be prepared. If she didn't do anything, then it doesn't matter to me." Concubine Kande He gently blew the fur on the embroidered flower in his hand: "I have supported Meng Baolin for a while, so it's hard to waste my support, right?"

Dou Su sighed in his heart and responded with a smile on his face.

Meng Baolin's matter was not made public after all. She did not go to greet her because she was seriously ill.

 So no one knew that she had begun to recover. Of course, it was impossible for her body to recover well. Just taking that medicine can make you feel better in a short time. As for how long it lasts, it depends on her body.

 The days in the palace slipped into May, and the weather suddenly became very hot.

  I won’t go to the palace this year, and ice cubes have been supplied everywhere.

Shen Chuliu has children here, so he naturally gets a lot of them, enough for daily use.

 The Sixth Prince is getting better and better at running now. Shen Chuliu only doesn't allow him to go out at noon, nor can he stop him in the morning or afternoon.

This child doesn't like to cry, but if he insists on going out, the howling will be quite annoying.

Zizhu and Zirui were packing Shen Chuliu's new clothes. They washed them briefly and hung them out. The two of them arranged them carefully. "The emperor has not been to our place for more than twenty days, and he has not asked the master to go." Zi Rui was a little worried.

"Yes, I haven't heard of any major events in the previous dynasty these days." Zi Zhu frowned: "These days, the emperor doesn't stop entering the harem."

  Recently, Su Cai and Xue Baolin have been serving the emperor more.

 “Let’s not think too much about it, the master is not worried.” Zi Zhu said.

"Master, when have you ever been worried? As a palace maid, I have a lot to worry about." Zi Rui sighed.

"You have been following the master since you were a child, and you don't know about him? Everything is settled. Besides, the fragrance is far away and the smell is near, so there is nothing wrong with not seeing the emperor for a while. We have no shortage of rewards in Cuiyunxuan. Meals. The room and the service bureau don't dare to neglect. Were there not many gifts of jewelry the day before yesterday?" Zi Zhu said with a smile.

"It doesn't matter, you and the master have similar thoughts. After all, there is a sixth prince. It was me who overthought it." Zi Rui said.

"You are the master's son, and I am also the master's son. There is nothing to think about too much. I think it's almost time. After the Dragon Boat Festival, it's time to come." Zi Zhu comforted.

Zi Rui nodded with a smile and ironed her clothes carefully.

The two of them were wondering when Qi Yixiu would come, but they didn't expect something was going to happen.

Early on the third day of the Lunar New Year, as soon as I went to Fengzao Palace to say hello, I felt that the atmosphere was not right.

Shen Chuliu frowned slightly, feeling something was wrong. Sure enough, after the greetings were over, the queen said: "Jing Xiuyi and Shen Baolin will stay here first. The emperor will come later and has something to say. Concubine Feng Shu and Concubine Kangde should also stay. The rest of them should go back first and don't talk nonsense."

Everyone looked at each other and left.

 Shen Chuliu was not in a hurry to speak, just waiting.

 Concubine Feng Shu had a hint of gloating on her face, but she was holding it back and refused to say anything.

 Concubine Kangde can't see anything here.

 Not long after, Qi Yixiu arrived.

 He first saw Shen Chuliu and then the queen.

After several people greeted him, Qi Yixiu sat down and said, "I got some news yesterday."

 Shen Chuliu looked at him.

“Eight hundred miles north of Xinjiang, we are rushing to send some letters.” Qi Yixiu paused and said, “The Marquis of Jing’an conspired with the Crown Prince of Chao to secretly overthrow our country, Da Yi.”

As soon as these words came out, Shen Baolin's legs went weak.

Shen Chuliu also thumped, stood up and knelt down: "Your Majesty, can this letter be confirmed?"

It’s strange that the emperor hasn’t come for so long.

 So that’s why? The letter is on the side, I'm afraid there has been news before, right?

“What is my concubine’s statement...confirmed? So what if it’s not confirmed?” Qi Yixiu smiled playfully.

  Good night, it’s very cold, take care of yourself.
