"Really? Maybe it's just my imagination."
Hua Xin had no choice but to put aside the doubts in her mind.
Inside the Phoenix Palace.
The Empress and the Second Prince had been waiting for a long time.
Upon hearing footsteps, she immediately came out to greet them, supported by her personal maid.
"Mrs. Lin, you've arrived."
"This humble woman greets the Empress."
The Empress smiled and helped her up, saying, "Please sit down. There's no need for such formalities between you and me."
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"Wanwan, how about coming to Aunt Empress's place?"
The Empress took out a small toy and teased Lin Wanwan.
Lin Wanwan danced with joy.
[Okay, okay, Wanwan likes it with food and fun.]
The Empress smiled upon hearing those words.
She likes the child because he is intelligent and perceptive.
"Oh my, you've lost weight these past few days."
"Looks like those people captured you and starved you, didn't they?"
I don't eat human flesh.
She poured out her heart, and even waved her little hand.
I saw the deceased son of the Grand Commandant's aunt.
[And there was also the deceased daughter of the imperial aunt.]
Oh, and there's also Consort Zhao's deceased daughter.
So many!
She stretched out her two little hands, making them look very big.
During this time, she even showed her tiny little teeth, which was incredibly cute.
The bell in the Empress's hand fell to the ground with a clatter, startling Ye Lanyin, who hurriedly picked it up.
"Your Majesty, what's wrong?"
"It's okay." She picked it up and continued to cheer her up.
Did Consort Zhao have a daughter?
How come she never noticed?
Wasn't it suicide out of fear of punishment?
Or is there something His Majesty hasn't told her?
[Hehe, Uncle Huang got cuckolded!]
He dared not speak, dared not speak.
If he knew Consort Zhao had a daughter, would he be so angry that he'd throw her remains to feed the dogs...?
The Empress shivered.
Has His Majesty been cuckolded?
Therefore, Consort Zhao did not commit suicide out of fear of punishment, but was ordered by His Majesty.
Thinking about it that way...
Her entire mammary glands are now clear.
The concubine whom His Majesty has cherished for many years is actually someone else's mistress?
She forcefully suppressed the urge to laugh.
"Madam Lin, I wish to make Wanwan Junli's younger sister. What do you think?"
Before Ye Lanyin could recover from her shock, she was startled by the Empress's words.
"Your Majesty, we can't bear to part with her. Wanwan is just a child; how can she receive such favor?"
"Moreover, he has several older brothers in the household; such ostentation might..."
Seeing through Ye Lanyin's anxiety, the Empress sighed.
She had already guessed it.
There is ample time.
So be it.
Hehe, no need to acknowledge him, Junli is my older brother.
Hehe, my father is the regent.
[The black market, I saw it! I smelled the ambergris!]
Lin Wanwan was so happy that she kept drooling.
"Pfft~"
Upon hearing this, Ye Lanyin was so startled that she spat out the water in her mouth.
"I'm sorry, Your Majesty, I didn't mean to." She hurriedly squatted down and tried to wipe it with a handkerchief.
But because of her nervousness, she couldn't hold the handkerchief properly and it fell to the ground.
That's incredible.
That's incredible.
Seeing her reaction, the Empress understood something.
Even though she was shocked, she dared not show it now.
It seems her younger brother has quite a few secrets…
"Madam Lin, please don't be nervous, please get up."
"Someone, tidy this place up."
[The Empress is so kind.]
It's a pity; even the best don't live long.
The Empress's nemesis is about to appear...
The empress was taken aback.
bitter rivals?
The fake crown prince is dead, and the female lead's target has shifted to the second prince.
If she really marries the Second Prince, she will definitely poison you.
Female lead?
[They're slandering you for having an affair and cuckolding the emperor.]
"If you die, the next one will be the emperor..."
The queen trembled.
I wanted to ask whose it was.
But they dared not make a sound.
Looking at the little one in my arms who falls asleep so easily.
The longer Ye Lanyin stayed, the hotter her buttocks felt.
Using the excuse that Lin Wanwan needed to sleep, he went back.
She was so frightened that she fled in panic.
Oh my god.
She actually had an affair with the regent.
That ruthless and cold-faced prince.
"Your Majesty, Madam Shen from the Minister's residence requests an audience."
The Empress suppressed her panic, straightened her clothes, and then said, "Let her in."
Before long, a woman dressed as a noblewoman slowly approached.
She curtsied and said, "This humble woman greets Your Majesty."
"Madam Shen, please rise."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
"What brings you here to see me today, Madam Shen?"
"Your Majesty, I am here today to bring you rouge."
As she spoke, Madam Shen took out an exquisite box from her bosom, on which was embroidered a lily.
"This is the rouge that I, your humble servant, queued for a long time at the Rouge Pavilion to buy. I've heard it can nourish and beautify the skin."
With the Empress's permission, Granny Ji took the rouge from Madam Shen's hands.
The Empress opened it with great delight.
A faint floral fragrance wafted over.
"Hmm, not bad. I thank Lady Shen."
"Your Majesty is too kind."
"Sit down." She waved her sleeve.
Madam Shen was about to sit down on the pear wood chair next to her.
A palace maid then brought a small stool and placed it in front of her.
"Madam Shen, please have a seat."
She coughed awkwardly, a hint of dissatisfaction rising in her heart.
