So Su Mengyan had no say in this matter. She could only ask Situ Yao what he thought about it.
This matter was originally a matter within the harem, and it would be most appropriate for Su Mengyan to handle it. However, this matter concerned the child in her belly, so Situ Yao had to give some advice.
"Since this matter is true, then demote her rank as a punishment." Situ Yao said. After all, he couldn't really punish Lin Xiaoxiang physically, but demoting her rank could be said to be the biggest punishment for Lin Xiaoxiang, because her current rank was only a concubine. If it was demoted again, it would mean that a concubine of this level was not qualified to raise her own child, so after Lin Xiaoxiang's child was born, it could only be raised by other concubines.
Think about it, Lin Xiaoxiang was only thinking about consolidating her position and making her status rise sharply after her child was born. But if she couldn't even raise her own child, wouldn't that be the biggest punishment for her?
After hearing Situ Yao's words, Su Mengyan suddenly understood. Just when Su Mengyan wanted to issue an order to make this punishment public, Situ Yao stopped her and said, "If you issue this order, Lin Xiaoxiang will bear a grudge against you, so it's better for me to issue this order."
Seeing that Situ Yao still remembered to care about her at this time, Su Mengyan's heart softened involuntarily.
Soon, Situ Yao announced his plan, and an imperial edict came to Lin Xiaoxiang. When Lin Xiaoxiang learned that her status had been reduced to that of a concubine, she had no place to vent her anger.
After receiving the imperial edict, Lin Xiaoxiang was completely distraught. When the palace maids saw her, they immediately shrank back and tried to minimize their presence, fearing that Lin Xiaoxiang would get angry with them.
At this moment, a palace maid hurried in, came to Lin Xiaoxiang, bowed to her and said, "Your Majesty, guess who I just met?"
This palace maid didn't know that Lin Xiaoxiang had been demoted and was very happy.
Lin Xiaoxiang found the smile on the palace maid's face extremely ironic, so she raised her hand and slapped her.
The palace maid was slapped for no reason and fell to the ground, covering her face with her hands, somewhat incredulous.
"Do you think there is any good news for me now?" Lin Xiaoxiang glared at the palace maid fiercely as if she would pounce on her and tear her to pieces if she smiled again.
The maid didn't dare to laugh anymore and immediately knelt on the ground, trying to minimize her presence. But thinking of the person she had just met, she couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, I really have something to say. I just met Xiangling."
After hearing the maid's words, Lin Xiaoxiang's expression was stunned for a moment. What did she just hear? Did she hear the maid say that she saw Xiangling?
"Is everything you said true?" After coming to her senses, Lin Xiaoxiang stared fiercely at the palace maid on the ground.
If this palace maid did not lie, then it means Xiangling was not dead. Then why did the palace maid named Lu Ping slander herself and force Xiangling to be desperate and commit suicide by jumping into the lake?
"Yes, everything I said is true. I dare not tell a lie." The palace maid knelt on the ground with her head lowered, not daring to look up for fear that Lin Xiaoxiang would slap her again.
Okay, okay, Lin Xiaoxiang now completely understood that Xiangling was not dead at all, and she was just trapped in Li Emi's trap.
She was talking about the palace maid named Lu Ping. Why didn't she go to the Empress Dowager, but instead went to Li Aimi and let Li Aimi make the decision for her? You know, wouldn't it be more effective to directly talk to the Empress Dowager, the mistress of the palace, about such matters?
So Lin Xiaoxiang now realized that this matter was entirely instigated by Li Eimi with the purpose of ruining her reputation. Now she has got what she wanted. She has been demoted and will never be able to raise her own children again.
Thinking of the imperial edict just now, Lin Xiaoxiang suddenly became angry.
Her current situation was entirely caused by Li Aimi. Why should she be demoted and unable to raise her own child, while Li Aimi should be the ultimate beneficiary of this matter?
This thought kept rolling in Lin Xiaoxiang's mind. Lin Xiaoxiang could no longer control his temper and went straight to Li Aimi to ask for an explanation.
"Explanation? What explanation can I have? You can only blame yourself for not being clean enough. If you had been more honest, you could have killed Xiangling right in your palace, but you didn't do it. You let her escape, and that's when I got this opportunity. In the final analysis, isn't all this your own fault?" Li Eimi glanced at Lin Xiaoxiang coldly.
Ever since Lin Xiaoxiang became pregnant, she has been arrogant and domineering, relying on the child in her belly, and has not given him any face. Now that his status is higher than hers, he has nothing to be afraid of even if she is pregnant.
Thinking that she had only put in some thought and used a small trick to cause Lin Xiaoxiang to end up like this, Li Eimi couldn't help but want to laugh out loud.
After hearing what Li Eimi said, Lin Xiaoxiang was extremely angry. Although she was annoyed, she also knew in her heart that what Li Eimi said was indeed true.
Just as Li Yuanmi said, if she had acted faster and gotten rid of Xiangling before Lin Xiangru arrived, the consequences today would not have happened.
Thinking of this, Lin Xiaoxiang felt regretful and hateful, and felt a little uncomfortable in his stomach.
Feeling uncomfortable in his stomach, Lin Xiaoxiang immediately came up with a plan.
Since she was feeling a little uncomfortable in her stomach, he simply used some tricks on Li Aimi, angered her, and let Li Yuanmi push him in a hurry. Then he sat on the ground and said that he was not feeling well, in order to frame him.
Thinking of everything Li Eimi had done to him, Lin Xiaoxiang felt that his plan was a tit-for-tat, which was excellent.
So, she immediately shouted, "What you said is nonsense. This matter clearly has nothing to do with me. It was you who had to let them frame me, you bitch."
Lin Xiaoxiang's face was full of surprise and confusion just now, but now it was full of anger. How could Li Eimi not see that Lin Xiaoxiang had a plan in mind.
Looking at Lin Xiaoxiang's belly, Li Aimi thought that the trick Lin Xiaoxiang wanted to use now was nothing more than the child in her belly. As long as she didn't touch it, no matter what happened to her, it had nothing to do with her.
