Chapter 525 Lin Concubine
Su Yue didn't recognize this Concubine Lin, so she asked Murong Li, "Who is Concubine Lin?"
"Princess Lin?"
Murong Li was stunned when he heard this, and immediately searched his mind before remembering Lin Bin.
He said, "Princess Lin is the younger sister of the Lin family master. She has been in the palace for about ten years, but she has never had any children. Only recently was there a rumor that she was pregnant."
The main reason was that Concubine Lin was too low-key and never competed for favor with others. As time went by, everyone seemed to have forgotten her existence.
After he finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something and asked hurriedly: "Did Yue'er discover something?"
Su Yue shook her head: "I didn't notice anything, but when the guards came to pay their respects to her just now, they thought she looked familiar."
Only then did Su Yue realize that Concubine Lin and the head of the Lin family did have similar features and eyebrows. No wonder they looked so familiar.
But Concubine Lin's reaction was very normal, not unusual at all.
However, since she is the sister of the head of the Lin family, it is impossible for this person to ignore her.
And the absence of abnormalities is abnormal.
Concubine Lin is the younger sister of the head of the Lin family. She has been able to survive safely in the cruel and complicated harem and is even pregnant. She is not a simple character.
The guards found nothing in Huayang Palace, so they went to search the next palace.
Seeing that Lin Pin looked relieved, Su Yue fell asleep.
Seeing this, Su Yue withdrew her mental power and stopped monitoring Lin Bin. She believed that even if she was the murderer, she would not take any action tonight.
Then the two chatted for a while. When it was almost midnight, the host master came. He personally fed Yun Fei a glass of water with the ashes of a yellow talisman he had drawn himself in the water.
"My two benefactors, the Imperial Concubine will wake up within an hour and will need some time to recuperate."
Murong Li: "Thank you, Master. I will give it to you."
The abbot clasped his hands together and said, "Your Highness, there is no need to see me off. I need to go to the Emperor."
Murong Li pursed his lips and nodded: "Okay."
The master was then escorted out of the Xihe Palace, and a eunuch was sent to take him to the emperor's Taigan Palace.
The abbot and the emperor had a secret conversation for an hour, and then left the palace. Su Yue had no way of hearing what they talked about.
On the other side, after the guards searched the palace, they found nothing and returned to report the results to the emperor. The emperor was obviously very disappointed and only strengthened the defenses before falling asleep.
He didn't even come to see Concubine Yun, as if he had forgotten that Concubine Yun was under a witchcraft spell.
Su Yue looked down on him, and realized that he was indeed a heartless person.
An hour later, Concubine Yun slowly awoke. She saw Murong Li and Su Yue guarding her bedside. Just as she was about to ask a question, Murong Li said, "Mother, please don't move. You're still weak. Just lie down and rest. The spell on you has been lifted. You'll recover after a few days of recuperation."
As Concubine Yun was the first person in the harem, Murong Li naturally would not hide the secret from her, and he told her in a concise manner how she had been bewitched.
After hearing this, Concubine Yun took a long time to come back to her senses. She looked at the two of them and said, "Let Nanny Chen come in. You two have worked so hard for so long, go and rest."
Murong Li nodded, called Nanny Chen in, and after giving Nanny Chen some instructions, he and Su Yue left Concubine Yun's bedroom.
The palace gate had been locked long ago, so the two of them found a guest room in a side hall of Xihe Palace to stay in.
In Concubine Yun's bedroom, Concubine Yun drank a bowl of porridge and asked Nanny Chen some questions.
After Nanny Chen finished speaking, she advised, "Your Highness, I can see that the Prince and Princess care deeply about you. They have been here to protect you, and the witchcraft you have was removed by the Prince himself who asked the abbot to come and remove it. Your Highness should let go of everything that happened in the past."
Concubine Yun answered irrelevantly and asked, "Has the Emperor been here? Have the guards caught the murderer?"
Nanny Chen sighed. She feared the grudge between Concubine Yun and the prince would never be resolved in this lifetime. She replied truthfully, "While the queen was unconscious, the emperor stayed here for an hour and then went back. He didn't send anyone to inquire about her afterwards.
The guards searched the entire harem but did not find the murderer."
After hearing this, Concubine Yun pursed her lips and said calmly, "I know. I'm tired. You all should go down."
Nanny Chen said helplessly, "Yes, Madam, if you need anything, just call me. I'll be waiting outside."
Concubine Yun nodded and then closed her eyes.
Upon seeing this, Nanny Chen tucked in the quilt for her and left the bedroom with the palace maids.
This night was peaceful, yet restless.
Some people sleep peacefully until dawn, while others stay awake all night.
The next day, Murong Li and Su Yue got up at dawn. After washing and having breakfast, they came to Concubine Yun's bedroom.
Yun Fei has woken up. After the witchcraft on her body was lifted, she rested for another night. She is in much better spirits today than yesterday.
He looked like he was dying yesterday, but today there was a hint of blood on his pale face.
Seeing the two people coming, she glanced at them calmly and said to Su Yue: "I need to recuperate during this period of time, so you can take care of the affairs of the harem on my behalf."
"This? Mother, this is a little inappropriate. There are four concubines in the palace."
Su Yue was quite surprised that Concubine Yun asked her to manage the harem.
Everyone knew that Concubine Yun disliked her.
"Princess, please agree to the Queen's request."
When Nanny Chen saw that Su Yue wanted to refuse, she immediately said that she had never thought that Concubine Yun would let Su Yue manage the harem. This showed that Concubine Yun no longer blamed the prince and princess in her heart.
This is a good thing. It is such a good opportunity to repair the relationship between mother and son. Nanny Chen doesn't want Su Yue to refuse.
Moreover, the right to manage the harem must never fall into the hands of outsiders. After Murong Li ascends the throne, the right to manage the harem must be given to Su Yue.
So this is also to let her practice in advance.
Su Yue glanced at Murong Li, who nodded. He knew that Concubine Yun was trying to ease the relationship between them, so Su Yue reluctantly said, "Okay, then. Mother, take good care of yourself during this time. I will take care of the affairs of the harem for you for the time being. I will return it to you when you are better."
When Concubine Yun saw that she agreed, she showed no expression. She waved her hand and said, "Then you can go out. Nanny Chen will tell you what to do later."
"Yes, daughter-in-law, take your leave."
Su Yue watched Murong Li and Nanny Chen come out of the bedroom, leaving the mother and son alone.
"Sit down."
There were only Murong Li and his mother in the bedroom, Concubine Yun pointed at the stool in front of the bed.
Murong Li nodded, sat down, and asked, "Is mother feeling better?"
Concubine Yun looked at Murong Li. This was the first time that Concubine Yun looked at him so seriously after Murong Li grew up. She realized that her son was so noble and handsome.
Concubine Yun took a deep breath and asked, "Do you blame Mother?"
