"Get up, I don't blame you for anything." He just knew her true identity.
Seeing that Su Mengyan really had no intention of blaming him, Lin Xiaoxiang stood up.
"Not only do I know your identity, I also know that you want to enter the palace." Su Mengyan said with a smile as she looked at Lin Xiaoxiang who was feeling uneasy beside her.
I didn't expect that the Queen could even understand my thoughts clearly.
Now that she was given the opportunity, she would naturally seize it.
"Yes, I do wish to enter the palace as a concubine. I hope the Empress will grant my wish."
"It's not impossible for you to enter the palace as a concubine, but..." Su Mengyan said this and deliberately glanced at Lin Xiaoxiang.
"Just what?" Sure enough, Lin Xiaoxiang took the bait immediately.
"There is already a Concubine Lin in the palace."
On the other side, Lin Xiangru was angry in his palace. The damn Lin Xiaoxiang actually dared to attack him. With his current status, how dare she?
What's even more ridiculous is that she still has the delusion of becoming the emperor's woman and a part of the harem, without even realizing what she is.
Lin Xiangru looked down on Lin Xiaoxiang a thousand times, ten thousand times, even though she was his sister.
"What happened to Concubine Lin? Who dares to make our Concubine Lin angry? Damn it." Xu Chuchu came in from outside and saw Lin Xiangru looking aggressive. She said this deliberately, hoping to win Lin Xiangru's favor.
When Lin Xiangru saw Xu Chuchu, he looked at her with disdain. She was just a maid, yet she dared to act like the master in front of him. She really deserved to be beaten.
"What are you doing here?" He had never had any contact with her, so why did she suddenly come to him?
Xu Chuchu smiled and said flatteringly, "I came to your place to ask for a cup of tea. You won't refuse, will you?"
Rolling his eyes, Lin Xiangru controlled his temper and had someone serve her tea, hoping that she would drink it and leave quickly.
As if she hadn't noticed Lin Xiangru's unwelcome expression, Xu Chuchu drank her tea leisurely. "I heard someone came to my sister's house?"
"Hmm." Lin Xiangru hummed coldly and didn't want to say too much.
"My sister's sister doesn't seem to have a good relationship with my sister."
"So what?"
"Sister, how can you survive in the palace alone without help? How about you and your younger sister work together?"
Hearing this, Lin Xiangru finally understood Xu Chuchu's purpose today. Did she want him to cooperate with her? Lin Xiangru's face was full of disdain: "What qualifications do you have for me to cooperate with you? Get out of here quickly. I have my own way. I don't need you."
On the other side, Lu Xian was reflecting on her mistakes. The bonsai she gave to Su Mengyan was obviously the one she raised with her own hands.
I remember that day my mother came to the palace to visit me, and only after entering the palace did she learn that the Queen was pregnant.
Since I knew about it and happened to be in the palace, I naturally wanted to visit him.
But her mother came in a hurry and didn't bring anything with her. Lu Xian looked at the bonsai she had planted and said, "Why don't you give one to the Queen?"
The mother thought it was a little too ordinary, but she had no other choice but to give the bonsai from her own palace to the Empress.
It was clearly a bonsai that I planted myself, so how come there is musk in it?
Lu Xian was puzzled. Since she shut herself in to reflect on her mistakes, she has been thinking about this matter every day.
Where does musk come from? Why would someone in his own palace have a bonsai with musk?
Finally, Lu Xian remembered something. Not all the bonsai in her palace were planted by herself. She remembered that when she first entered the palace, the prime minister's wife came to her and said that everyone had just entered the harem and should help each other, so she gave each person entering the palace a bonsai.
Because of the Prime Minister's wife's status, no one was willing to refuse, and since it was just a bonsai, no one thought there would be anything inside.
But the current situation tells Lu Xian that things may not be that simple.
Could it be that there was something wrong with the bonsai that the Prime Minister's wife gave him?
No, if it was the bonsai given by the Prime Minister's wife, there should only be one in my room, but my mother took one away and gave it to the Empress, and it was found to contain musk, and I also have bonsai with musk in my palace.
What on earth was going on? Lu Xian was a little confused, but she knew that this matter was definitely not that simple.
No, no matter what the situation is, I must tell this matter to the Queen.
If it really was the Prime Minister's wife who put musk in her bonsai, then the Prime Minister's wife's heart was as clear as Sima Zhao's, and everyone knew it.
Her own daughter also entered the palace, and the concubines who entered the palace at the same time as her daughter would naturally block her daughter's way.
Musk can make people infertile. If the concubines who entered the palace at the same time cannot get pregnant for a long time, but her daughter is safe and sound, when her daughter gives birth to a prince and her position as the emperor is stabilized, people like her will never be able to compare with her.
I didn't expect that I would be plotted against by others since I entered the palace. I have to say that the Prime Minister's wife was very thoughtful and foresighted, and she had tricked everyone else.
When they received the bonsai sent by the Prime Minister's wife, they even thanked her. They felt like they were being treated like fools. Thinking of this, Lu Xian could no longer bear it.
"Someone, go tell the Queen that I have something to tell her."
"Oh, she has something to tell me? Could it be about the musk bonsai?" Su Mengyan murmured to herself: "Forget it, let her come and tell me what she wants to say."
"I heard that you remembered something and wanted to tell me?" Su Mengyan asked.
Lu Xian told the Queen Mother about the bonsai the Prime Minister's wife had given her, but she did not mention the Prime Minister's wife. She knew that the Queen Mother might not believe her just based on what she said.
Finally, she said, "If your majesty does not believe what I say, you can go to the palaces of other concubines and search. If nothing unexpected happens, they should also have a bonsai with musk in their palaces."
If things are really as Lu Xian said, then this matter will never be let go easily.
Su Mengyan thought for a moment and called Bixia over: "Take your men and search all the palaces to see if there are any bonsai with musk."
Soon, Bixia came back with her people, and several palace maids behind her were holding a bonsai pot in their hands.
"Your Highness, I have searched every palace and indeed everyone has a bonsai with a musk scent. However, strangely, there is none in the air of Concubine Lin's palace."
Oh? Su Mengyan seemed to understand something.
"Go and ask the emperor to come over and tell him that I have something to say." Su Mengyan ordered Bixia.
She knew that the emperor must know about this matter. Sending musk bonsai to concubines was a vicious act, intended to make the emperor heirless. How could she not tell the emperor about such a thing?
