Xu Chu heard Yuehua's voice and knew that the emperor would definitely go to Chuxiu Palace to visit the imperial concubine. She had to take this opportunity to let someone inform the queen.
She didn't expect that the queen would actually send someone to find her, saying that she had some doubts in the Buddhist scriptures that she wanted to discuss with her.
Xu Chu quickly washed up and went to see the queen before Song Jingyan arrived.
"I pay my respects to Her Majesty the Queen."
Lin Sangyu simply said, "Get up."
"Come here, please take a seat."
"If I hadn't had any doubts about the Buddhist scriptures, I wouldn't have specially invited my sister to come and discuss it."
"I know my sister just had a miscarriage, so I also prepared some supplements for her."
Xu Chu knelt down and saluted, "Thank you very much, Your Majesty, for your kindness."
The Queen saw that the show was enough, so she dismissed her attendants and said, "All of you, please leave. I want to discuss Buddhist scriptures with Concubine Xu and don't want anyone to disturb me."
After everyone had left, Lin Sangyu spoke, "Xu Chu, I heard that you wanted Yuehua to be adopted by me."
"You clearly know that I hate Yuehua and the Imperial Concubine and her daughter the most, so how could you adopt Yuehua to me?"
"Lin Sangyu, let me ask you, do you still want to leave this world?"
Lin Sangyu rolled her eyes and sighed, "No."
Xu Chu was disappointed when he heard this, but when he thought that since the Queen cared enough to register Yuehua under her name, it was obvious that she was not a person without desires.
"Lin Sangyu, you can fool me, but can you fool yourself?"
"You mind that Princess Yuehua is registered under your name. You still have hatred in your heart, don't you?"
"I...I didn't." Lin Sangyu denied.
Xu Chu knew that Lin Sangyu would not admit it, so she asked, "Lin Sangyu, if that's the case, then why did you call me over?"
"Yes, I hate them." Lin Sangyu finally admitted, "They are simply not human. I originally thought I was about to give birth to a prince, but for some reason, I drank a tonic soup made by a palace maid and my stomach hurt. I wanted to use the pregnancy-preserving pill, but the system didn't have it."
"I really don't know what happened. Everything was gone overnight. The emperor didn't even come to visit me when he saw that I had lost my prince."
"Do you know how much pain I'm in?"
"My baby is gone."
"My baby is full-term."
"In another week or two, he will be born safely."
"But I'm gone, and the emperor hasn't even come to see me again."
"It's just because my mother's family holds military power, otherwise he would have wanted to destroy me a long time ago."
"Later, I just wanted to pray for my baby."
Xu Chu heard Lin Sangyu crying silently, and every word she said was a cry for her past.
She quickly patted Kalin Sangyu on the back and said, "Lin Sangyu, since you are heartbroken, you should repay them a thousand times over and make their lives worse than death."
Lin Sangyu let out a breath, and a deep hatred flashed in his eyes.
"What do you want me to do?"
Xu Chu whispered, "You have to agree to let Yuehua be adopted into your name. When the time comes, Yuehua will live and eat with you, and you will have the final say on everything."
"There is another crucial point. The emperor will choose a husband for Yuehua. You can also use the power of your family to ask them to help choose someone from your family."
"More importantly, the emperor did this, firstly to protect Yuehua, and secondly to be under your control and provide support for Yuehua."
After hearing this, Lin Sangyu suddenly understood.
"He's really cruel."
Xu Chu looked at Lin Sangyu sympathetically, "Lin Sangyu, do you understand now?"
"You're just a stepping stone for him."
"He has no heart, and we don't need to be heartless."
As soon as she finished speaking, she looked at Lin Sangyu, but saw that Lin Sangyu was crying and looked very weak.
"Okay, now is not the time to cry. Besides Princess Yuehua's matter, we have other obstacles."
Lin Sangyu immediately understood, "Are you talking about the Prime Minister?"
When Xu Chu heard this, his eyes widened.
She thought Lin Sangyu was a weak person who couldn't take care of herself, but she didn't expect that she was also a clear-headed person.
"Yes, Lin Sangyu, you are still very smart."
Lin Sangyu snorted softly, "That's just because I've closed myself off."
Xu Chu immediately gave a thumbs up, not holding back her praise at all.
"Lin Sangyu, if we want to get rid of Lin Sangyu, then we need you to play a key role. You must take back the power of the harem, and then use the power of your family to betroth Concubine Ning to the young master."
When Lin Sangyu heard this, he frowned slightly, as if thinking about something.
"Xu Chu, will the emperor agree?"
Xu Chu chuckled and whispered, "In fact, the emperor is already unhappy with Concubine Ning, but he just hasn't found a suitable excuse."
"But I see that the young master likes beautiful women, so he naturally won't refuse."
Lin Sangyu scratched his head and asked again: "Will the Prime Minister agree?"
Xu Chu explained word by word, "The Emperor has issued an edict. Even if the Prime Minister has great power, he cannot disobey it."
"only……"
Xu Chu hesitated for a moment, "The Emperor will not allow a Ning concubine to marry off. He may then allow your Lin family's daughter to marry off."
"Yes, I understand."
Xu Chu thought about it and felt that if this happened, the two families would naturally have some complaints, and then the emperor would inevitably take away certain rights.
"Anyway, the Emperor won't favor either of you, and naturally won't allow either of you to get too close to the Emperor's uncle."
"Yeah, I understand."
At this time, Xu Chu saw a sneaky figure outside. She whispered to Lin Sangyu, "Lin Sangyu, if you want the emperor to hand over power to you, then start by rectifying your harem and find out the spies."
Lin Sangyu originally just wanted to disappear into thin air as soon as possible and let them monitor her, but now that she has decided to go against the Imperial Noble Concubine, it is naturally impossible for her to allow them to stay by her side.
"The emperor will be here soon, so you should act quickly."
"The rest is up to you. Remember to take him alive." Xu Chu reminded.
"Yeah, I understand."
Xu Chu knew that the emperor was about to arrive and she was about to withdraw.
However, the queen will suddenly change, and Song Jingyan will definitely become suspicious.
"By the way, we need to check the contents of the Buddhist scriptures to prevent Song Jingyan from noticing anything amiss."
Only after Xu Chu and Lin Sangyu checked everything word by word did she leave Kunning Palace.
That night, she heard that the emperor had returned the power of managing the harem to the queen.
That night, she was picked by Song Jingyan again.
She was wrapped in a brocade quilt and sent to the bedroom behind the Hall of Mental Cultivation.
