After all, no matter whether Concubine Qian is innocent or not, she will never be favored again after today.
But... this time when the Crown Prince is choosing a concubine, the Crown Prince's concubine is a member of the Qin family, and is the niece of Concubine Qin.
Isn't it a bit of a coincidence?
"There's something even more interesting."
Dong Ling'er brought over the ginseng soup that had been left to cool for a while and was now at just the right temperature. She fed it to Lin Chunhuan in small sips and said, "Lin Chunuan's position has been raised to become the Crown Prince's concubine."
"What?"
Lin Chunhuan sat up straight, his eyes full of disbelief, "It's not Ling'er, and I don't have any other intentions."
"What I'm saying is, next time we talk, can we focus on the important points first?"
"Ah?" Dong Ling'er was stunned for a moment.
Her focus has always been on the restaurant, and the little she has left is also spent on teaching housekeeper Lin Chunhuan. She doesn't pay any attention to anything else.
If she hadn't been worried about her master getting into trouble in the East Palace today, she would have rushed back to the restaurant immediately and would not have followed him at all.
She had heard some about Lin Chunhuan's family affairs, but that was all about the entire Lin family. As for whether the relationship between the sisters was good or bad, and how bad it was, she had no idea at all.
The way of doing things of the aristocratic families is still deeply engraved in her mind.
Dong Ling'er only thought that no matter how bad the relationship between sisters was, they would share the same fate when they went out, even if they hated each other so much in private that they wanted to strangle each other to death.
When you go out, you should also hope for the other person's well-being.
Therefore, Dong Ling'er never thought that Lin Chu Nuan becoming the prince's concubine was a bad thing from the beginning to the end. She still remembered that her own princess had a bad relationship with her family, so she deliberately did not bring it up in advance.
She also had no idea that the relationship between Lin Chunhuan and Lin Chunuan was no longer just about pulling hair and slapping each other, it was a fight to the death, and they wanted to kick each other into hell all the time!
"never mind."
Seeing Dong Ling'er's puzzled look, Lin Chunhuan sighed, "Go on, tell me what's going on with Lin Chunuan, and how does this matter relate to her."
"Concubine Qin has done something like poisoning. Her position as Concubine Qin will definitely be lost."
Lin Chunhuan nodded. She could think of this. In this way, the position of the Crown Prince's concubine would be vacant, but a concubine was not the Crown Princess, so it didn't matter if it was vacant temporarily.
Dong Ling'er smiled and said, "At this time, His Majesty is worried about how to deal with Concubine Qian. Today, there are not many people, but it is not too few, but it is not decent to spread the news about his concubine and son."
"It was Miss Lin Er who stood up and delivered a long and eloquent speech arguing that the victim was not guilty. Everyone was stunned by what they heard."
"The Emperor originally had no intention of doing anything to Concubine Qian. After all, they had been through hardships together. Lin Chunuan's words hit the mark. When he learned that she was the newly elected Crown Prince Chenghui, he immediately issued an edict to elevate her position, filling the vacancy left by Concubine Qin."
Victim innocence?
Lin Chunhuan blinked and listened to Dong Ling'er repeating those words.
For example, Concubine Qian was the one who was persecuted, and the harm she suffered should not be a reason for her to be punished.
For example, Concubine Qian was drugged, and everything she did was not controlled by her subjective consciousness.
Although Lin Chunhuan thinks these statements are correct.
But the problem is, there are many words in these remarks that she can understand but has never heard of before!
Could these words really be said by the Lin Chu Nuan she knew?
Lin Chunhuan slowly lay back on the raised head of the bed and pondered.
She felt that things were gradually getting out of her control, and her brows were furrowed so tightly that they could kill a fly.
After a long while, Lin Chunhuan finally sat up straight, "Ling'er, help me pack up, we'll go over and take a look."
"Princess, are you going there too?" Dong Ling'er was stunned for a moment. "But the prince has instructed you to rest well and he will take you back to the palace as soon as he finishes his work."
"You just woke up. For the sake of the baby in your belly, let's not make any more trouble."
Although she said this, Dong Ling'er's hands did not slow down at all. When Lin Chunhuan sat in front of the dressing table, she had already picked up the comb and started combing her hair.
Lin Chunhuan pursed her lips and said nothing. She knew that the baby in her belly would be fine, but regarding Lin Chu Nuan's matter, she had to confirm it in person!
She must make sure whether Lin Chunuan's situation is the same as Xiao Jinan's!
…
"Thank you, Father!"
In the main hall of the Eastern Palace, rounds of concubine selections were still going on during the day, with many beautiful women and a bustling atmosphere. But now that night had fallen, everyone looked exhausted.
Lin Chu Nuan kowtowed in the hall, her face flushed slightly with excitement.
In the first seat, the emperor, who was already in his forties or fifties, had an upright figure. Although he had wrinkles on his face, there was a majestic righteousness between his brows.
However, at this moment, His Majesty's expression was also mixed with fatigue. He waved to Lin Chunuan and looked at Xiao Cen beside him, "Fortunately, you are here this time."
"Otherwise, I will lose face!"
Xiao Cen also took a deep breath, and after a while he asked, "Brother, how do you plan to deal with Concubine Qin? She is the only daughter of Prime Minister Qin. If she is executed, I'm afraid..."
"Xiao Cen!"
Before Xiao Cen could finish his words, Concubine Qian stood up with red eyes. "Qin Wushuang has ruined my innocence and brought bad reputation to the Crown Prince. She deserves death. How many benefits has Prime Minister Qin given you? And you still want to speak for her!"
"A cold-blooded and heartless person like you who kills so many people deserves to never have children in your life!"
"Oh, right." Seeing Xiao Cen's slightly furrowed brows, Concubine Qian not only showed no sign of restraining herself, but instead became even more aggressive. "Your newly married little princess is pregnant, right?"
"How could this be such a coincidence? The imperial physician said you were infertile, so where did your princess's child come from? Prince Pingyang, don't you think you've been cuckolded?"
"For someone like you, if that child is really yours, it will probably die in the womb before it's even born!"
“Bang!”
As Concubine Qian roared, a loud slap landed directly on her face, so fast that no one could react.
"Princess...Princess."
Dong Ling'er was shocked. They heard Concubine Qian's remarks just as they arrived at the door. When she came to her senses, her princess's slap had already landed on Concubine Qian's face. She called out timidly and didn't know what else to say.
As for Lin Chunhuan himself, his chest was heaving violently, he was gasping for breath, and the look he gave Concubine Qian was ice-cold without a trace of warmth.
"ah!"
It took Concubine Qian a long time to recover, and then she burst into screams, "How dare you hit me, how dare you hit me!"
"Rebellion! Are you people from Prince Pingyang's Palace planning a rebellion?"
