Chapter 222: Taking Advantage of the Situation



However, the Empress Dowager liked quietness. Apart from talking to the Queen for a few words each time, she ignored the other concubines and let them go early.

Lin Luwan was wearing a light pink dress and her makeup was not heavy, except for a slight smudge of rouge at the corners of her eyes, which made her look a bit weak.

Everyone in the palace is a shrewd person, otherwise they wouldn't have gotten to this position. They all know that Lin Luwan had sex with the emperor in broad daylight yesterday afternoon. There have always been too many monks and too little meat in the palace, right? The only one is the emperor. Now that Lin Luwan has taken the lead, even if the others express disdain and think that this is against women's virtues, I'm afraid only they themselves know what they are thinking.

The emperor and the others didn't dare to say much, but Lin Luwan was no big deal.

With such a family background, General Lin might be worthy of praise in front of outsiders, but in front of these proud girls, he was just an incompetent coward who climbed the social ladder. And Rong's family background was even more humble and pitiful.

In front of the Queen Mother and the Empress, they dared not say much, but dispersed and left.

Several people with high positions held hands and chatted together, their voices neither too loud nor too quiet.

Another tall girl fanned the room and said, "Sister Du is well-educated and polite. Of course, she finds this unbearable. But some people may not think so. I'm afraid they are looking forward to it and are very proud of it. No matter what we say, they won't care. Besides, we heard that their family is so jealous that they even don't let go of the child in the concubine's belly."

"Sister, are you talking about yourself? If you can't do it, others are not allowed to do it either. Sister is really extraordinary and has quite some self-awareness." Lin Luwan said with a smile, her tone so sincere as if she was really praising someone.

Lin Luwan followed them and listened for a long time. Even though she knew they were talking about her, and they almost mentioned her by name, she was no longer the little girl who would get angry to death for a few words. Instead, she was indifferent and felt that their fighting ability was much worse than Lin Jiuxi's.

But fortunately the emperor did not pursue the matter, right?

"Who wants to be your biological sister? Just a traitor's wife like your biological sister! Do you think everyone is like you? You two sisters are equally disgusting..." Liu Zhaorong wanted to say more, but noticed that the atmosphere around her had become much colder. She turned around and saw the emperor standing not far from her.

Lin Luwan suddenly had an idea and decided to take advantage of the situation, tears streaming down her face again as if she didn't want any money.

Lin Luwan had already thought it through clearly. Fame or not, what was more important than the real business rights? What was the point of pleasing the emperor? Why bother about a few empty words? Lin Luwan didn't care much about what other people said, but what bothered her now was that the queen seemed to be a little concerned.

"How can it not be true? It seems that it's because her mother, who is already this old and still has no son in her belly, can't stand seeing other people getting pregnant. Sister Liangshan may not understand that some people have such dirty hearts. They don't allow others to do things that they themselves can't do." The tall Liu Zhaorong spoke harshly.

Having a brother-in-law who is a traitor is embarrassing in itself. Unexpectedly, the sister suddenly became a traitor, which is even more disgraceful.

"Apart from you, who else could be such a shameless person? You snuggled into the arms of His Majesty in broad daylight. Who doesn't know how disgusting you are? It's really polluting the ears of all of you sisters just by talking about it." Liu Zhaorong had a good figure, but her appearance was not as good as Lin Luwan's. However, the two of them were both in the second rank and had always disliked each other.

Yes, Gu Ran and Lin Luwan were not self-disciplined, but the emperor must also be somewhat responsible. Otherwise, no matter how hard the others tried to seduce her, what could they do if the emperor refused?

Liu Zhaorong sneered: "I have self-awareness, but I'm afraid some people don't!"

"Oh, sister, are you talking about me?" Lin Luwan pretended to be surprised, her round eyes widened.

"Don't think that it doesn't matter if His Majesty protects you now. Once General Lin takes care of your sister, do you think you can still have the good life you have now?" Liu Zhaorong humiliated her as usual.

Even though he didn't say anything, the emperor slapped them in the face with his actions.

Except for Liu Zhaorong who dared to make a sarcastic remark or two occasionally, everyone else kept quiet, believing that the best approach was to keep a low profile and protect themselves.

The other people in the harem were so angry that they could do nothing about it.

Lin Luwan stood there, originally with a nonchalant and relaxed face, but suddenly her eyes turned red, her shoulders shook, and tears dripped down her face.

The delicate tone was artificial: "I have always respected and cared for Sister Liu as if she were my own sister, but I didn't expect that Sister Liu felt so bad about me..."

"Some people, whose mothers have low status and don't teach them well, let themselves fall into depravity. It's happening in broad daylight and it's enough to make people's ears dirty. I really don't know what these people are thinking. They dare to think that's a good thing and even wear hairpins on their heads swaggeringly." The person who said this was Shuyi, whose surname was Du. Her grandfather was the Minister of Revenue and he also had a very high status in the court.

After Lin Luwan was taken away by the emperor, she was loved and favored again.

"Are you serious? I've heard people talk about it, but I just can't believe it." The round-faced Concubine Yi interrupted and asked.

So not long after, news of Lin Luwan's favor came again.

Liu Zhaorong's face turned pale, and she finally realized where she had said something wrong.

Liu Zhaorong was startled, but when she carefully recalled what she had said, it seemed that nothing would displease the emperor, so she put her heart back in her chest and saluted the emperor.

"Excuse me." The emperor's tone was a little cold, but he didn't say much to them. He just reached out and pulled Lin Luwan away.

Liu Zhaorong had been tricked by her once, so this time she reacted very quickly. She looked around immediately, but did not see the emperor or his men.

So I was very confused about what Lin Luwan was doing.

Lin Luwan's eyes were red, and she turned and ran into the Queen's Palace.

"Empress, please make the decision for me..." Lin Luwan held a small handkerchief and cried even harder.

The queen is in charge of palace affairs, so naturally she is also responsible for coordinating and appeasing the concubines.
