Chapter 103: Becoming a Demon
After Jiang Qiyun left, Chu Mochen and Chu Muhan sat down and talked for a while, and then went to the previous court to handle government affairs. After Chu Mohan left, Mrs. Lin took Chu Wanxiang's hand and asked: "Queen, what are you doing?"
What do you think of your imperial brother?"
"I'm not familiar with him, but his character is pretty good and he's worth relying on," Chu Wanxiang said.
"If your words are heard by the emperor, he will be extremely happy." Mrs. Lin joked.
Chu Wanxiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, mother and concubine, I know what's appropriate."
"I feel relieved if you can understand this." Mrs. Lin said happily, "Although your surname is not Chu, you are my granddaughter. I don't ask you to have a successful career, I only hope you can be happy."
"My son understands."
Lin Mansion.
Concubine Lin was walking in the courtyard, her eyebrows relaxed.
"Miss, you are finally discharged from the hospital." Qiu'er, the maid, said with a smile.
Seeing her bright smile, Concubine Lin couldn't help but raise her eyebrows: "What happy event makes you so happy?"
"Today, when I went to the dining hall to get food, I saw the second lady crying, as if she had been wronged in some way."
"Oh?" Lin Guifei was very interested, "Who made her angry?"
Qiu'er said: "It's Aunt Lin. I heard that she was woken up by a nightmare when she was sleeping last night and cried miserably."
Aunt Lin is the mother of concubine Lin Shuanghua. New
"She is quite capable of being a monster." Concubine Lin sneered, her face darkened, "She is a bitch herself, so don't expect sympathy from others."
After that, he changed the subject: "I heard that the emperor went to the queen's place today?"
"yes."
"The Emperor really dotes on the Queen. He even visited her during the national mourning period." Lin Guifei's eyes flickered and her tone was slightly sarcastic.
"The emperor and the queen have a very good relationship. Isn't this well known to everyone?"
"Oh, the queen is really good at it. In just a few years, she has won over all the emperor's thoughts." Concubine Lin sneered, "It's a pity that this kind of method can be used against others. It's a fool's errand to shake the foundation of this palace in the harem!"
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is very loyal to you." Qiu'er flattered.
Concubine Lin smiled: "Go and find out what the emperor said when he went to Fengqi Palace."
"Yes." Qiu'er took the order and left.
Concubine Lin stood in the middle of the waterside pavilion in the garden, looking up at the rough waves of the lake, the wind blowing, and the ripples on the green lake. Suddenly, a handsome and resolute face passed through her mind, her eyes suddenly turned red, and she murmured
: "Brother Han, why are you so cruel? You promised that you would take care of me for the rest of your life. Did you lie to me?"
Nanny Lin stood beside her and persuaded: "Your Majesty, the Emperor always keeps his word."
"He is so alienated from me just because of the Queen. Once the Queen dies, he will immediately drive me out of the palace." Lin Guifei's eyes were red and tears rolled down her face. "I worked so hard to plan all this for him, but I couldn't bear it."
But a few words from the queen. Even if I die, I won’t be willing to do it!”
"My Majesty, don't be discouraged. The Queen is not that good. She can't beat your Majesty."
"I tried every means to enter the palace in the first place because I wanted to avenge my father. But...the emperor has a deep love for the queen, and I had no choice at all."
Nanny Lin whispered: "Your Majesty is the emperor, and it is normal for an emperor to have three palaces and six courtyards. Why are you so persistent? There are many good men in the world, and I can choose a better man to be your husband."
"So what? They are not Brother Han." Lin Guifei said coldly, "Brother Han is not the kind of person who wants to court Qin Muchu." "Empress, the woman your Majesty likes is you."
Concubine Lin shed tears and was filled with sorrow: "I know he likes me, and I also know that Brother Han is the best person in the world. But..." But she will never see him again.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the Emperor's birthday party?" Nanny Lin said suddenly.
"Remember, what's wrong?" "Today is the emperor's birthday." Concubine Lin was stunned.
Chu Muhan and Chu Mochen are both grandsons of the Chu family, so their birthdays are naturally grand and lively.
On the day of my birthday, the entire Chu Mansion was busy
.
As a queen, Chu Wanxiang is naturally busier, but she is used to having to prepare for a long time before every birthday banquet.
She changed all her clothes, jewelry and other items into plain ones.
"Your Majesty has arrived -" the sound of singing came from outside the palace.
Chu Wanxiang packed up and walked to the main hall. Chu Muhan led the queen in slowly.
At the end of the Chu Dynasty, Xiang Fu greeted him with greetings: "See you, Your Majesty."
"Get back on your feet." Chu Mochen held the queen's hand, "I was just discussing something in the royal study. I heard that you were sick today, so I came here to see you."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty. I am fine." Chu Wanxiang said with a smile, "My body has recovered a lot, and I want to go to the imperial garden today."
"Yes." Chu Mochen held her soft and slender waist and took her for a walk slowly in the Queen's Palace under the envious gazes of the concubines.
Lin Wanxiang was favored by his favor, and everyone in the palace knew that the emperor doted on the queen to the extreme.
"Your Majesty—" Concubine Lin suddenly called out shyly. Chu Mo glanced at her coldly.
Chu Muhan was very interested in Concubine Lin's appearance, "Ms. Lin, I've been so busy recently that I forgot to invite you to bed. Just stay at Fengluan Palace tonight."
"I obey!" Concubine Lin's face turned red and she lowered her eyes in response.
Mrs. Lin immediately said: "Your Majesty, now that the Queen has recovered, should she be in charge of the affairs of the Sixth Palace?"
The emperor looked at Chu Wanxiang. Chu Wanxiang smiled slightly: "My daughter-in-law is not very talented and has little knowledge, so she may not be qualified for this responsibility. Why not let the queen do it for her, and then let the queen assist her after she is familiar with the Sixth Palace. What does the queen think?"
She declined politely. Although the emperor loved her, he had not appointed her as queen after all. If she rashly interfered in the affairs of the Sixth Palace, it would cause other people to talk.
However, Mrs. Lin insisted: "Your Majesty, this matter is not urgent. Let the Queen control the affairs of the palace first."
Chu Muhan pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Just do as the Queen said, wait until the Queen is familiar with the Sixth Palace before handing it over to the Queen."
After he finished speaking, Concubine Lin immediately showed a joyful smile: "Thank you, Your Majesty for your grace." This matter has come to an end for the time being.
Mrs. Lin asked the imperial doctor to check Chu Wanxiang's body again, and she felt relieved after confirming that he was really recovered.
Lin Wanxiang accompanied Chu Muhan to have lunch together.
"Your Majesty, I asked them to send this year's new tribute tea to Fengyi Palace for you to taste." Concubine Lin served diligently.
Chu Mohan nodded lightly: "Concubine Laolin, thank you for taking the trouble."
"What do you think happened to those people today?" Chu Wanxiang frowned slightly, thought for a while, and said, "Maybe they came here in a hurry after hearing about the emperor's assassination. As for the others... I'm afraid they still need to be investigated.
.”
What Chu Wanxiang said was reasonable. It not only showed that she was not involved in the assassins' actions, but it also hinted that those assassins were done by Lin. After all, there were only Lin and herself in the room at that time.
