Chapter 174: So That's What Happened



"It takes three days. Can it be faster?"

The imperial physician was slightly stunned and said, "Zhaoyi, this is already the fastest way!"

After hearing this, Lin Luwan waved her hand and asked the imperial physician to leave.

"What a quack! It'll take another three days!"

After Cailian sent the imperial physician away and returned, Lin Luwan looked outside and said, "Cailian, come here, I have something to ask you!"

"Zhaoyi, what's the matter?"

"Besides the monthly routine, are there any other ways for you palace maids to leave the palace?"

Lin Luwan thought for a moment and asked quietly, "Can you help deliver the letter?"

The Queen was also sleeping in her bedroom, and the busy ones were the Queen Mother and the Emperor who was attending the morning court. When the Queen Mother woke up early in the morning, she also heard about the excitement in the harem last night, and the nanny told her all the information she had collected.

"I didn't lie. It's true. I heard that the one from Jufangyuan climbed up to the roof not long after the queen left. He said some very disrespectful things like the queen was immoral. Many people in the harem heard it!"

"Yes, the Queen wanted to stop it at that time, but Your Majesty ignored her!"

"The Queen Mother guessed wrong!"

The Queen Mother blew on the teacup, the expression on her face could not be seen clearly in the hot steam from the tea, and she said in a light tone: "The Queen is so old, but she is still so impatient in handling things!"

It is said that the imperial physicians in the palace are capable, but it takes three days.

When she was in the general's mansion before, she saw Rong using it and the effect was very good. If a pimple appeared on her face, it would go away the same day after applying it.

"Yes, send it to my mother's house in the general's mansion!"

"I heard that His Majesty heard about it in the previous court and asked Eunuch Zhang to investigate. The Empress believed that she had failed in her management of the harem, so she conducted a strict investigation!"

Thinking of this, Lin Luwan endured the bitterness of the medicine, drank it in one gulp, and poured the medicine into her stomach with a painful look on her face.

"Yes, I heard that His Majesty ignored the Imperial Concubine for a long time. At that time, the Imperial Concubine was just a virtuous concubine!"

"That's right. The Queen didn't get what she wanted. She was very angry when she left. When it was almost dawn, she went to invite His Majesty over!"

Cai Lian did not lie about this matter. This incident happened a few years ago and everyone who had been in the palace for a long time knew about it.

Lin Luwan touched her face. She just wanted an acne cream from Rong’s.

Cai He brought the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician, which had already been boiled, and said, "Zhao Yi, please drink the medicine!"

"Hmm? Did the Emperor really say that?"

Cai Lian quickly picked up the candied fruit and asked Lin Luwan to put it in her mouth!

Cai Lian then whispered, "Every ten days, the inner court will send people out of the palace to make purchases. If the palace maids and eunuchs want to buy something, we can ask them to go out and help!"

Lin Luwan was a little surprised after hearing this, and asked in disbelief: "No way, is it so serious?"

The nanny quickly advised: "Queen Mother, His Majesty is your own son, how could he go against you? He must have no choice!"

"Money is not a problem, just tell me what you can do first!"

Cai Lian then said, "Zhaoyi didn't sleep well the whole night, hurry up and take a rest!"

Cai Lian and Cai He were waiting at the door, and Wanxiang Palace was quiet.

The nanny was indeed very thorough in her inquiries and was able to find out even the smallest details.

"No, Zhaoyi, I'm not trying to stop you. It's best to find someone you can trust to do something like delivering a letter. Otherwise, if you're discovered, not to mention what His Majesty will do, even the Empress won't let you go easily!"

"After the Queen invited His Majesty over, she probably wanted to severely punish the one in Ju Fangyuan, but for some reason His Majesty finally said that Ju Fangyuan could be restored to her full capacity as a servant and could move freely in the palace!"

After a while, Lin Luwan had to stop thinking and said, "I know!"

The Queen Mother was somewhat surprised when she heard this and asked, "Is this true?"

It can be said that the harem was the quietest today, with no big noise.

The Queen Mother sneered and said, "No wonder the Emperor was invited. The Queen has made a very good plan!"

"The Queen might be anxious. I heard she went to Jufangyuan to check very late at night!"

"Zhaoyi, if you really want to send a letter, then tell the Queen, she will definitely agree!"

Mammy gave an appropriate reminder.

"Wrong? Why?"

After hearing Cai Lian’s serious words, Lin Luwan didn’t dare to think further.

This was the first thing the Queen Mother thought of when she heard this.

"Sending a letter?"

"The Queen is such a fool. Why would she make such a big fuss over a thief who stole food from the imperial kitchen? She is causing unrest in the harem!"

Lin Luwan fell asleep after drinking the medicine. She hadn't slept all night, but now she was sleeping surprisingly quietly.

Lin Luwan understood what Cai Lian meant. Since it was not something shameful, she could tell the Queen. She would definitely allow it. If she did it secretly and it was exposed, she would be severely punished no matter what the reason.

"Is the Emperor trying to slap me in the face?"

Cai Lian said truthfully.

Lin Luwan asked.

Cai Lian frowned slightly and said, "There are other ways, but they cost some money!"

"Cai Lian, is there no other way?"

What if His Majesty comes one day and sees her like this?

Cai Lian advised from the side.

The Queen Mother paused and asked, "Jufangyuan?"

"I have no choice?"

The Queen Mother was a little shocked!

You must make the right choice between what is more important.

"No way?"

“Why is this medicine so bitter?”

"Before, the Imperial Concubine always sent her personal maid to deliver things back to her mother's house. Later, His Majesty reprimanded her for encouraging the evil spirits of her mother's family in the court. He scolded her severely. Since then, the Imperial Concubine rarely let her personal maid leave the palace. Zhaoyi, you want to deliver a letter back to the General's Mansion. This is too risky!"

The black medicine in the white jade porcelain bowl was still steaming. Lin Luwan suddenly lost her appetite. However, she had no way to get the ointment at home. If she didn't take the medicine, the pimples on her face would not go away.

"It's good to suffer, it will heal quickly!"

The empress dowager asked back, her anger growing even stronger, but she then remembered what the nanny had just said, and asked the emperor to go to Jufang Garden at dawn.

That should be the time when the court officials came to the palace for the morning audience. Lin Jiuxi shouted all night until the emperor passed by. In other words...

Is it possible that the ministers of the previous dynasty have also heard the news?

If the emperor continues to keep it secret at this time, it will only lead to speculation and cause unrest in the harem.

Not only could he not execute Lin Jiuxi immediately, he also had to appease the suspicions of the ministers of the previous dynasty! "No wonder, no wonder!"
