Finally, Bixia said, "Don't you look down on palace maids? If you don't want to leave, then just be a good maid in the palace!"
Bixia's words made Lin Xiaoxiang stunned. Being a palace maid? How could this be possible? She was going to be the imperial concubine.
However, she thought of what Bixia said, that if she wanted to stay, she had to be a good palace maid. This meant that if she didn't be a good palace maid, she would be kicked out of the palace immediately.
No, she had finally entered the palace and refused to leave no matter what.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxiang had no choice but to swallow her anger. At this moment, she hated Bixia very much in her heart, and thought that if she became a concubine one day, the first person she would do would be to cause trouble for Bixia.
The hatred grew deeper and deeper. A rich lady like Lin Xiaoxiang would never consider others and would only feel that others had wronged her.
Humph, they actually dared to treat me like this. I even helped them capture my own sister. Since the Queen Mother ignored my kindness, there is no need for me to go against my own sister.
For a moment, Lin Xiaoxiang's mind was filled with a thousand thoughts. She made up her mind to release Lin Xiangru and cause some trouble for the Queen to let her know the consequences of doing so.
The matter of the musk bonsai has been largely clarified, but the bonsai was sent by Mrs. Lu after all. As one of the parties involved, Mrs. Lu cannot escape the blame.
At that moment, Su Mengyan ordered someone to invite Madam Lu over. Madam Lu, who received the news, still didn't know what had happened.
Following the eunuch to Su Mengyan's palace, she bowed to Su Mengyan and said, "Then your Majesty summoned me here today. What is the matter?"
Su Mengyan looked Madam Lu up and down, smiled slightly and said, "That's not a big deal. I still remember the bonsai that Madam gave me last time. I thought it was very beautiful, and I just wanted to ask Madam where it came from."
It turned out that she was asking about the bonsai. Until now, she didn't know about the musk bonsai. At this time, she simply thought that the Queen thought the bonsai was beautiful and wanted to ask for another one.
Thinking of the origin of the bonsai, Madam Lu was also proud for a moment, and said with a smile: "If this is the case, why would Her Majesty summon me here? Just go to my daughter's palace and get a few pots."
In this case, the bonsai that Mrs. Lu gave to him was indeed taken from Lu Xian's palace, which proves that Lu Xian did not lie.
"I'm ashamed to say that when I entered the palace that day, I didn't know that the Empress was pregnant. It was only after I entered the palace that my daughter told me about it. However, I didn't have anything with me at the time, so I took a bonsai from my daughter's palace, thinking of offering flowers to Buddha." Madam Lu told what happened that day.
Sure enough, what Lu Xian said was exactly the same as what he said.
"Then, did Lu promise that all the flowers in the palace are grown by herself?" Su Mengyan continued to ask.
"Yes, my daughter has always liked flowers and plants, and she has planted quite a few flowers." Mrs. Lu's eyes were full of smiles when she talked about her daughter.
Suddenly, she realized that things were not that simple. If she really wanted bonsai, why would she ask whether those flowers were all taken care of by her daughter?
"By the way, I remember that some of them seemed to be sent by Concubine Lin's maternal family. It is said that all the concubines in the palace have them." Mrs. Lu thought of this matter and said it hurriedly, thinking that she must not cause any misunderstanding because of her silence.
Oh, it’s true. Everything is just as Lu Xian said.
At this time, Lu Xian also knew the news that Madam Lu was summoned to the palace.
"You mean the Queen summoned my mother into the palace?" After hearing what the palace maid said, Lu Xian stood up suddenly.
What should I do? The Queen probably summoned my mother into the palace because of the musk bonsai incident.
My mother knows nothing about this matter. What if the Queen Mother blames her?
Thinking of this, Lu Xian could no longer sit in her palace and immediately asked someone to follow her to the Queen Mother.
He thought that if the Queen wanted to make things difficult for his mother, he could still plead for her.
However, when Lu Xian arrived at the Queen's palace, the scene she imagined of her mother kneeling on the ground and begging Su Mengyan for forgiveness did not appear.
"Your Majesty is knowledgeable and I admire you." Madam Lu was chatting with Su Mengyan, and she sincerely admired Su Mengyan's knowledge.
What was going on? When Lu Xian entered the room, she saw the two of them chatting happily.
At this time, Lu Xian's impression of Su Mengyan was further improved. She felt that maybe this queen was not a bad person.
After seeing off Lu Xian and her daughter, Su Mengyan sat on a chair, tapping the table with her fingers, thinking about something in her mind.
Now everything points to Lin Xiangru's mother. Lin Xiangru knows nothing about this matter. Perhaps it is time to have a good talk with Lin Xiangru.
"Someone, please invite Lady Lin over."
After a while, Lin Xiangru was brought out of the woodshed.
Looking at the slovenly Lin Xiangru in front of her, Su Mengyan was a little surprised. She just asked someone to put her under house arrest, but she didn't expect that she would be thrown into the woodshed.
However, she was not concerned about Lin Xiangru's current situation.
"Lady Lin, I have asked many people about the musk bonsai, and they all point to your mother. How do you explain this?" Su Mengyan told Lin Xiangru the results of her investigation.
"I don't know. Let me go!" Lin Xiangru had been in the woodshed for a while and was tortured. When he heard the Queen talking about this, he hurriedly pleaded for mercy.
Suddenly, Lin Xiangru remembered something. Sister, by the way, didn’t sister say that she changed something?
"Empress, this was done by my sister. It has nothing to do with me." Lin Xiangru thought of the crux of the matter and immediately excused himself.
This answer surprised Su Mengyan a little. She didn't expect that this matter would involve Lin Xiaoxiang.
"How do you know?" If it was really Lin Xiaoxiang who did it, then why did Lin Xiangru know about it? Or was this just an excuse for Lin Xiangru to exonerate himself?
Lin Xiangru told Su Mengyan about the conversation between her and her sister that day, but the one-sided statement could not make Su Mengyan believe her.
"This was done by my sister. Her purpose was to frame me. Your Majesty, please don't be deceived by her." In a short period of time, Lin Xiangru instantly figured out the ins and outs of the matter.
At the same time, her hatred for Lin Xiaoxiang also increased sharply. Damn it, she had already entered the palace as a concubine, but why did Lin Xiaoxiang still not let her go? She didn't know when she had resorted to such means to make her suffer like this.
