Lin Chunhuan, as the ace strategist of the Quick Transmigration Bureau, is just one last reincarnation away from accumulating enough points to return to the real world.
But this final one... ...
She is still waiting.
Waiting for a verification, even if such a verification is successful, it may cost the lives of the two children in her belly.
But even so, she couldn't really put all her suspicions on the emperor based on a few words from Concubine Shu, even though the emperor's various behaviors during this period seemed abnormal to her.
Stretching her body and lying on the soft couch, Lin Chunhuan let out a long breath, the look in her eyes dark and unclear. She was also worried that all the abnormalities she noticed were caused by her subjective doubts.
Claiming to be smart and firmly believing in what you have decided is not being tough and independent-minded, it's just being reckless.
And such recklessness would never happen to her.
The emperor still came every day, but he never mentioned Yuntao. It seemed as if he had completely forgotten about that person. However, Yuntao had been an extremely important female official by the emperor's side.
The possibility of being forgotten is really too small.
The most important thing is that she hasn't seen Xiang Ma for a long time, not even Zhuxi.
"Your Majesty, I am now well again. Yuntao is used to serving you. Although I am reluctant to let her go, I would be very uneasy if I let her stay in Changchun Palace and take away your beloved one."
The emperor's smile faded a little after hearing these words, but his eyes were still full of tenderness. He raised his hand to tidy up Lin Chunhuan's fallen hair.
He looked affectionate and honest, "What's wrong? Did she not serve me well?"
"How could that be?"
Lin Chunhuan immediately sat up straight, "She is someone close to you, so she is naturally the best."
"It's just that Yun Tao has always been by your side, serving you. Now she is staying with me like this without any status. It's really unfair to her."
The emperor twitched his lips indifferently, his eyes turning cold. "But what did she say in front of you?"
"You're just a servant, yet you want a title? Don't you even consider your own status?"
Hearing the obvious anger in the emperor's mouth, Lin Chunhuan lowered his eyebrows and concealed his expression well.
Before the emperor came today, she deliberately sent Yuntao away and asked Chunyu to serve her so that it would be convenient for them to talk. Now it seems that the effect is quite good.
Revealing just the right amount of weakness and jealousy, a soft sigh escaped from her lips, and Lin Chunhuan's eyelashes trembled, "You can't say that. After all, Yun Tao...she is different from others."
"no the same?"
Grabbing Lin Chunhuan's hand and holding it with a little force, the emperor was somewhat helpless. "They are all palace maids, what's the difference? Please explain it to me in detail."
Even though things had gotten to this point, Lin Chunhuan had no intention of pressing the issue. Instead, he turned his head away and refused to say anything more.
But her appearance not only does not make people feel spoiled, but because of her eyes full of spring love, her whole person is lively and cute.
In response, the emperor just smiled, raised his chin and looked at Chunyu who was waiting not far away, "Since your master is unwilling to speak, then you can speak."
"I am terrified!"
Upon hearing this, Chunyu immediately looked frightened. She flopped to her knees, her face pale with fear. "Miss Yuntao is certainly different."
"This servant... This servant dare not make up stories!"
Although the emperor did not take Lin Chunhuan's words seriously just now, Chunyu's reaction at this moment really made him interested.
There is no other reason.
The emperor believed that he knew Yun Tao well enough and trusted her loyalty enough, otherwise he would not have sent her to Changchun Palace. In the emperor's eyes.
Yun Tao may be more trustworthy than Lin Chunhuan, the person next to her.
So he didn't believe that Yun Tao would do anything against his will.
There was a brief silence in the room. The emperor's eyes flickered between Lin Chunhuan and Chunyu several times before he finally frowned. "Speak as I tell you to. If there's even a single lie in your words,
"Death."
Those two simple words made Chunyu shudder. "Yun... Yuntao, Yuntao treats the Imperial Concubine with great respect. There's nothing wrong with that. It's just..."
Naturally, Yuntao had more eyes than just one in Changchun Palace. The emperor believed the first half of Chunyu's words and was just silently waiting for her to read the rest.
Lin Chunhuan moved her body uncomfortably. As the month progressed, she felt uncomfortable even lying down. She just stared at the ground with her eyes lowered, looking aggrieved.
She absolutely believed that the emperor's decision to sentence her to death was not a casual remark.
I absolutely believe that if Chunyu lies, he will be discovered.
But... they had no intention of lying from the beginning!
"Your Majesty, please forgive me. Miss Yuntao serves you personally, and of course she is no match for a servant like me. The three palaces and six courtyards often flatter Miss Yuntao because of this matter. Even the Imperial Concubine sometimes feels uncomfortable and has to be more patient when she hears this, let alone a servant like me."
"In this Changchun Palace, Yuntao, Miss Yuntao... is the second master!"
Chun Yu said the last sentence with great emphasis, and even kowtowed with fear, as if she would really die if she didn't say it. "What this servant said is absolutely not false. I hope Your Majesty will understand!"
Yun Tao was born as the emperor's bed-warmer. Even though she is now a female official with some power, she still does the job of bed-warmer.
Moreover, there has never been another bed-warming maid in the palace over the years.
During the days when the emperor did not enter the harem, he was always surrounded by Yun Tao's gentle beauty.
No one in the harem was not jealous of this, but the emperor protected her so much that all the masters in the palace were helpless against this servant.
The emperor was silent.
He neither lost his temper nor made a single word to defend Yun Tao. At this moment, Lin Chun Huan's arms, as white as jade, wrapped around his waist. "Your Majesty, I understand the importance of Yun Tao. As long as you like her, it doesn't matter if I suffer a little."
"Even the Empress can endure this grievance, so I can endure it too. I just want you to understand that my feelings for you are no less than any other sister in the palace!"
However, in the face of such deep affection, the emperor remained silent.
He naturally had his own reasons for protecting Yun Tao.
Before Lin Chunhuan entered the palace, Yun Tao had always been cautious and prudent, and had never made any mistakes in what she said or did.
But in the six months since Lin Chunhuan entered the palace, the conflicts between them have indeed increased...
Most of the eyes stationed in Changchun Palace focused their attention on the master Lin Chunhuan, and they did not pay much attention to the interactions between the servants.
In addition, as Chunyu said, the emperor has always known that all the palaces are trying to please Yuntao.
Not only knowing, but also acquiescing.
