It turned out that the Queen Mother came to talk to him about this matter! Lin Xiangru stopped what he was doing.
She didn't know why Su Mengyan insisted on cooperating with her. Did even Su Mengyan think her sister was threatening?
Thinking of his sister's ridicule just now, Lin Xiangru had long forgotten the idea of solving his sisters' problems on his own.
Sister, since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust.
"Empress, I agreed to cooperate with you only temporarily. After this is over, we will have nothing to do with each other." Hatred prevailed in Lin Xiangru's heart.
Even if that person is my sister, if she threatens me, I will fight back without hesitation.
Lin Xiangru has always been like this, but her parents did not realize this characteristic of their daughter for many years.
This is also one of the reasons why Lin Xiangru was able to successfully plot against Lin Xiaoxiang.
"Deal." Su Mengyan didn't care whether it was a temporary cooperation or a long-term cooperation. As long as the goal was achieved, she didn't care about it.
Now that the two people have reached a consensus, this matter naturally cannot continue like this.
"I will find a way to get you out." Su Mengyan said to Lin Xiangru. This was also to let Lin Xiangru see her sincerity!
Lin Xiangru naturally wanted to leave here.
After Su Mengyan returned, she thought of an excuse and asked someone to invite Situ Yao over.
Situ Yao has been quite busy recently and hasn't been to Su Mengyan's place for a while. When he heard that someone around Su Mengyan came to invite him, he thought that Su Mengyan wanted him to come, so she asked him to come over. Without saying a word, he followed the palace maid over.
"Yan'er, I've been very busy recently and forgot to come see you. You're not angry with me, are you?" As soon as Situ Yao came over, he explained the reason why he hadn't come during this period.
This made Su Mengyan smile. No matter how many people were in the harem, at least Situ Yao still had her in his heart.
"Your Majesty, how could I be angry? I asked you to come here today because I have something to tell you."
Something happened, and it turned out that the person wasn't thinking about him. Situ Yao felt a little disappointed, but he adjusted his mentality in an instant.
Love between young people is indispensable, but business is more important, so Situ Yao asked what was the matter.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember the musk bonsai?" Su Mengyan asked tentatively. Situ Yao frowned. How could he not remember? This thing almost killed his child. How could he forget it so easily?
"Of course I remember, Yan'er, but do you have any clues?"
Seeing Situ Yao's serious expression, Su Mengyan raised her hand and touched his brow, trying to soothe his worries. Under Su Mengyan's comfort, Situ Yao's brow gradually relaxed.
After Situ Yaofang arrived, Su Mengyan spoke up, "Well, this matter was actually a misunderstanding. It turns out that the Prime Minister's wife gave the bonsai to the ladies in the hope that they could get along well and help Concubine Lin. However, she didn't expect that the bonsai she received would be placed next to musk wood. Over time, they naturally acquired the scent of musk."
This was what Su Mengyan had thought of, and only by saying it this way could Situ Yao believe it.
After all, Situ Yao would not believe that Su Mengyan would speak well of someone who deliberately hurt her and the baby in her belly.
"So that's how it is." Situ Yao really believed Su Mengyan's explanation: "If that's the case, then it was an unintentional mistake on the part of the Prime Minister's wife."
"Yes, Your Majesty, I have thought that since the Prime Minister's wife did not do it on purpose, and Concubine Lin has been locked up in the woodshed for some time, and she has learned her lesson, I am afraid that if she is kept locked up any longer, it will be difficult to explain to the Prime Minister." Su Mengyan deliberately mentioned Lin Xiangru.
She promised Lin Xiangru that she would find a way to get Lin Xiangru out of that damn woodshed, but she couldn't just let Lin Xiangru go for no reason, so she deliberately spoke in front of the emperor, hoping that Situ Yao would ask him to release Lin Xiangru.
Hearing the Prime Minister's words, Situ Yao remembered that he really needed the Prime Minister's help. Thinking that he had already taught Lin Xiangru a lesson, and that this matter was not intentional, and seeing that Su Mengyan no longer cared, Situ Yao said, "Yan'er is right. It is naturally not good to keep Lin Xiangru locked up now. It is better to let her go!"
Finally, Situ Yao looked at Su Mengyan and said, "I know you were wronged in this matter, and it almost harmed our child. It was all my fault for not protecting you."
Su Mengyan nestled in Situ Yao's arms, not saying a word. At this time, there was no need for her to say something to make Situ Yao not care. She pretended to be generous and just stayed quiet, which would make Situ Yao feel more sorry for her.
Sure enough, Situ Yao was filled with heartache and guilt towards the silent little woman. He thought that by becoming the emperor, he could make Su Mengyan happy, but who knew that Su Mengyan's originally peaceful life would be disrupted.
In the woodshed, a eunuch opened the door and said to Lin Xiangru inside: "Lady Lin, the Emperor and the Empress have told you to return to your own palace to reflect on your mistakes."
What? Go back, Lin Xiangru stood up all of a sudden. Can he really go back? Looking at the father-in-law at the door, Lin Xiangru couldn't believe it.
If she had known that she could cooperate with the Queen, she could have left. Why did she waste so much time and suffer so much?
Su Mengyan and Situ Yao stayed in the room for the entire afternoon. When it was almost time for dinner, Su Mengyan looked up at Situ Yao, her eyes full of pleading: "Your Majesty, it has been a long time since I last had a meal with you."
Looking at Su Mengyan like this, Situ Yao felt a trace of guilt in his heart. Yes, he had not had a good meal with Su Mengyan since he inherited the throne.
No wonder Su Mengyan was so well-behaved today. It turned out that she wanted to have dinner with me.
"Well, today, I will have dinner at Yan'er's place."
As soon as he finished speaking, Situ Yao saw the joy in Su Mengyan's eyes, and he couldn't help feeling a little satisfied. She was so happy just by having a meal with her.
At dinner, Situ Yao put a piece of fish into Su Mengyan's bowl. Unexpectedly, Su Mengyan looked at Situ Yao awkwardly.
"What's wrong? Don't you like it?" Situ Yao was a little confused. Didn't Su Mengyan say before that this fish was delicious?
Before she could answer Situ Yao's words, Su Mengyan felt an uncomfortable feeling rising up her throat. She hurriedly left her seat and ran to the side. Only after the fishy smell was away from her did she no longer feel like vomiting.
Situ Yao seemed to understand something. Yes, Su Mengyan is pregnant now. Things are different now. Naturally, she doesn't like to eat some things.
