In just a short moment, Lin Yimiao drank the whole pot of tea and his expression looked a little better. He looked at Lin Chunhuan with a look of surprise and doubt, and he didn't know how to start.
Lin Chunhuan was not in a hurry either. The conversation between the prince and the marquis would not end so soon, so she still had time.
"You are not Lin Chunhuan... who are you?"
After being silent for such a long time, seeing that Lin Yimiao's first words were actually this, Lin Chunhuan couldn't help but laugh, "Big sister, what you said is not right."
"It doesn't matter whether I am Lin Chunhuan or not, and it doesn't matter whether you are the current Lin Yimiao or not."
"That's not important."
Lin Yimiao realized that her thoughts had been led astray by the person in front of her, and she felt a little annoyed, but at the moment she had no way to take back the initiative and could only wait for Lin Chunhuan to speak.
Raising his eyelids, his smiling face stung Lin Yimiao, and he slowly said, "Of course the engagement with the Eastern Palace is important. You know better than anyone how much your father values this marriage."
"It's not enough to just convince Mother. Besides, Big Sister hasn't been able to completely convince Mother yet."
Lin Yimiao's face looked a little ugly.
Lin Chunhuan was right. It seemed that his mother was in charge of all matters big and small in the Marquis' Mansion, but whenever something important happened, his father's approval was required.
This naturally includes the marriage of children.
In the Marquis's Mansion, the other concubines' daughters had to be used for marriage, so as for the marriage of her, the only legitimate daughter, it was even more impossible for her to decide on her own.
Seeing Lin Yimiao's grip on the teacup gradually tighten, the curve of Lin Chunhuan's lips deepened a little, "Big sister should know better than anyone, if father is determined to get married, don't just say you are refusing. Even if you die by hitting your head against the pillar, your body will be sent to the Eastern Palace."
"This is our father, isn't it?"
Lin Yimiao's face turned even paler. It took him a long while to catch his breath. He raised his head and looked at Lin Chunhuan with burning eyes. "You said you wanted to help me. Why and how?"
"Big sister, the order of these two questions is wrong. I will answer the second one first."
Lin Chunhuan raised his hand and poured himself a cup of tea.
The fragrant aroma of tea wafted to her nose. She had to admit that the treatment of a legitimate daughter was much better than that of her, the neglected fourth daughter. "You don't want to go to the Eastern Palace, but I do, so... I'll marry for you."
"As for why, I think big sister should be able to guess it. It's not easy to be a concubine's daughter in this marquis's mansion." Before Lin Yimiao could recover from her shock, Lin Chunhuan's flawless face was already close to her ear, "If it weren't for me, my sister, risking my life to drag big sister into the water yesterday."
"I'm afraid I, the fourth daughter of the Marquis' Mansion, would have died long ago, right?"
Lin Yimiao bit her lip.
Of course she knew what Lin Chunhuan meant. Not to mention that this was in the Marquis' Mansion, in any wealthy family, even a merchant family, a concubine's son might have a better life, but a concubine's daughter... even if she was favored by a concubine, her life would not be much better.
What's more, someone like Lin Chunhuan lost his aunt early. To put it bluntly, his life is in the hands of others. They just ignore him because he is not a threat and he is treated like a toy.
Such people, with the body of a lady and the life of a maid, if their master is in a bad mood, their life will be harder than the grass stuck in the cracks, and their life will be thinner than paper.
From Lin Chunhuan's perspective, helping her, the daughter of the first wife who doesn't want to get married, and marrying into a wealthy family herself can be considered the best way out.
But soon, Lin Yimiao sneered and shook his head, "I thought Fourth Sister was a smart person, but now she looks stupid."
"That's the East Palace, that's the Crown Prince!"
"Who are you? You can marry me off just like that? Not to mention that the Crown Prince would never allow a concubine's daughter to become the Crown Princess. If my father knew about this, I'm afraid he would beat you to death!"
"Does Big Sister still have a choice now?"
Lin Chunhuan didn't respond at all, and didn't even take Lin Yimiao's words to heart.
Before coming here, she had already thought through all the possibilities. She would not do anything that she was not sure of. "You don't want to get married, but I do, so I will help you."
"Big sister, the most important thing you should do now is to think about how to help me get what I want. After all, if my wish comes true, you will be completely free from the nightmare of the cage, right?"
Lin Yimiao pursed her lips and asked, "How do you want me to help you?"
After hearing this, Lin Chunhuan felt slightly relieved.
In fact, Lin Yimiao’s situation is certainly not as serious as she said. After all, in countless reincarnations, Lin Yimiao has succeeded countless times.
Lin Chunhuan simply took advantage of the fact that Lin Yimiao had just been reborn and had not yet paved his own way, and created an information gap.
But it doesn't matter. As she said, this is a win-win choice. Even if Lin Yimiao comes to his senses later, he will not stop her.
"Big sister, you must know a lot during your 21 years in the Eastern Palace. I don't care about the rest. I only know one thing: what happened when the Crown Prince was kidnapped? Why does he have such a deep fear of women? Just tell me this, and I will ensure that your wish comes true."
Now that things have come to this, there is no need to hide anything anymore.
Lin Yimiao took a deep breath. "I do know some inside information about this matter, but Lin Chunhuan, don't think it's too simple. Even if you know the root of the prince's illness, it's impossible to cure him!"
"That's not something that big sister should be concerned about."
Seeing Lin Chunhuan's nonchalant look, Lin Yimiao was furious, but after a while, he still spoke, "This matter is a secret in the palace, I can tell you."
"But you have to keep it rotten in your stomach!"
Lin Chunhuan sat up straight and nodded slightly.
"That year, the Crown Prince was nine years old. He wasn't even a Crown Prince at the time, and his birth mother wasn't some noble lady of prominent birth. She was a foot-washing maidservant of Concubine Li."
"It's said that one day, Imperial Concubine Li got angry and locked His Majesty outside. Perhaps His Majesty was irritated and deliberately made things difficult for Imperial Concubine Li, or perhaps he was just hitting her on purpose. In any case, that day His Majesty favored a foot-washing maidservant of Imperial Concubine Li and later gave Zhao Xun his position."
"Just that one time, Qin Zhaoxun gave birth to a prince, and... he was the only prince in the entire harem."
Lin Chunhuan nodded slightly. In fact, the current emperor had quite a few children. Concubine Li alone gave birth to three princesses, and the queen also had two princesses.
Many other concubines also gave birth to children.
But without exception, they are all princesses.
But it was that idiot Qin Zhaoxun who gave birth to the emperor's only prince.
