Chapter 502 The Road Ahead is Long and Long
As she spoke, she pinched the bracelet and passed her fingers through it.
Lin Zhiqing frowned.
No ordinary person would hold a bracelet like this.
Before she could take a closer look, the nanny put the bracelet into her sleeve.
Seeing this, the Queen did not blame her: "Madam, you are very thoughtful. In this case, I can only send the bracelet to the Inner Court another day."
Her tone was calm, but a little lower than before.
The situation is a bit complicated... Lin Zhiqing frowned and nodded, thanking the Queen again.
She couldn't help but wonder in her heart, is the Queen really the number one person in the harem?
Why did she always feel that the nanny was the queen, and it seemed that the queen had to look at the nanny's eyes before doing things?
But this feeling was not strong, and no one else reacted. It seemed that only Lin Zhiqing could see it.
Because she is better than others at capturing micro-expressions and micro-movements.
"When I was young, I lived with my father in the borderland. It was extremely cold and harsh there. It was really unfair to Second Miss Lin." The Queen spoke softly.
There was a hint of regret in her tone, and her eyebrows drooped as she spoke, showing that she really felt sorry for Lin Zhiqing.
"What are you talking about, Your Majesty? Marrying into Daliang is a blessing that no one else can obtain. Even my niece Bai Ling is on the list of marriages." Concubine Xian said with a smile.
Niece?
Maybe she is not your biological niece, so you don’t feel sorry for her.
Lin Zhiqing did not discuss the issue of marriage too much.
This is the imperial palace. It doesn't matter if others say something wrong, but if she says something wrong, she may very likely be killed without a burial place.
Lin Zhiqing knew the virtuous concubine's position a long time ago.
But her mother's family, the Scholar's Mansion, did not express support for the marriage, so Lin Zhiqing did not waste time persuading Concubine Xian.
She secretly cast her gaze on Concubine Shu.
Concubine Shu was a little absent-minded.
Her eyes swayed left and right, not falling on the Queen and others, as if she wanted to observe her surroundings so that she could leave the place quickly.
As expected, before they could say a few words, Concubine Shu began to ask for her leave.
The queen was also easy to talk to. She just waved her hand and let the person go.
"The Empress is still too kind-hearted." Concubine Xian said unintentionally.
The queen then smiled and said, "Too many people are trapped within these palace walls. If we are not kind, how can we survive here?"
Um?
I'm afraid this is not true.
If you want to gain a foothold in the cannibalistic palace, the worst thing you can do is to be kind-hearted.
Strange!
So weird!
"Your Majesty is right." Concubine Xian didn't say anything more, but asked about the emperor's condition:
"Empress, is the Emperor alright?"
"It's still the same." The Queen sighed, "The illness hasn't improved, and the person is confused."
Upon hearing this, Concubine Xian's expression was not very good.
Lin Zhiqing could see that Concubine Xian must have feelings for the emperor, but he didn't know how deep this affection was.
"Empress, the wind is blowing. The Emperor will be looking for you later." The nanny spoke.
The Queen smiled faintly, her gaze falling on Lin Zhiqing again: "Second Miss Lin's name begins with the character 'Qing'. This character 'Qing' is very nice, and it reminds me of some people."
Hearing this, Lin Zhiqing's heart moved.
Lin Zhiqing also knew someone whose name also contained the character "Qing".
Empress Wu Qing!
But Lin Zhiqing was not sure whether the Queen was talking about the same person. However, as far as she knew, there was only one person with the word "Qing" in his name.
However, what did the Queen mean by mentioning this?
Before she had time to think carefully, the queen left with her people.
"Farewell, Her Majesty." Lin Zhiqing looked at the Queen's back, with doubts in his heart.
Until she returned to the Lin family, she was still recalling the queen's every frown and smile.
Today's experience was really bizarre.
First of all, apart from a quick glance at the palace, Lin Zhiqing had no interaction with the queen.
The Queen was very kind to her at the Thousand Carp Pond today and had been showing her goodwill.
Why is this?
Could it be that the queen also has a mental illness that is difficult to talk about?
But if that's the case, wouldn't it be better to just let Lin Zhiqing go and treat him? Why spend so much time talking about useless things?
Useless words?
Lin Zhiqing carefully pondered every word the Queen said, and it seemed that they were indeed just some polite remarks.
If I have to single out some of them, there are only two sentences that have some profound meaning.
The first thing is that Lin Zhiqing's name is very good, like someone.
But the meaning of this sentence is too broad. Even though Lin Zhiqing guessed that the queen might be talking about Wu Qing, he could not be sure, and he could not understand the deeper meaning of it.
Secondly, the queen said that only by being kind-hearted can one gain a foothold in the palace.
This statement is full of contradictions.
Logically speaking, there has been no news of any major disputes in the harem since the emperor became seriously ill.
At least that's what Lin Zhiqing heard from Lu Huai.
Could it be that people with active minds are not welcome in the palace?
Does such a peaceful harem really exist?
Lin Zhiqing shook his head. This information was too confusing.
The Queen is a somewhat strange person.
Could it be that because she is young, she is under the control of the nanny beside her?
The virtuous concubine, the virtuous concubine and the others did not think that the nanny's repeated interruptions were wrong. It was obvious that they had long been accustomed to the way the queen and the nanny got along.
But is it really that simple?
Lin Zhiqing pursed her lips. If she had the chance next time, she would definitely pay close attention to the Queen.
But now her target is still Concubine Shu.
Lin Zhiqing recalled that Concubine Shu was a person who was not good at speaking. Most of the time she didn't like to speak, and her every move revealed aloofness.
Maybe after entering the palace, he closed his heart and locked away his love, and no longer had any ambition?
There are so many women in the emperor's harem, and each one has a very different personality. Lin Zhiqing has only met a few of them, and he's already having a headache.
She took a deep breath. It was a pity that there was no progress after meeting Concubine Shu today.
I'll have to find another opportunity next time.
By the way, does Concubine Shu have any mental illness?
As soon as this thought came to his mind, Lin Zhiqing knocked his head.
If she sees patients everywhere she goes, she should start to wonder if there is something wrong with her.
A doctor has a kind heart, and she shouldn't always hope that others will get sick.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing sighed.
The road ahead is long and arduous, so we have to take our time.
There are only ten days left until the one-month deadline, so we have to speed up.
The virtuous concubine's mental condition has improved a lot recently. Lin Zhiqing is thinking that perhaps more treatment places should be set up near the Thousand Carp Pond.
In this way, the probability of meeting Concubine Shu by chance is higher.
But after the chance encounter, if I can't attract Concubine Shu's attention, it will be all in vain.
Lin Zhiqing frowned. Perhaps she should find something that could attract Concubine Shu's attention.
For example...things related to my nephew who is the chief academic officer of the Imperial College.
After all, she is an old lover, so she should have some weight.
Thinking of this, Lin Zhiqing secretly made a decision in his heart.
