"I know perfectly well whether the servants in the palace have robbed or stolen anything since I left. It's not too late to mend things now. If we wait until things come to a head, it will be too late to clean up the mess."
Lin Mama felt a tightness in her chest. The Empress was too calm. She was a completely different person from the young lady who had teared up in front of the Princess on the eve of her wedding. But she had to admit that Linghu Lan was right. This was the demeanor of an Empress.
After a long silence, Lin Mama bowed and said, "Yes, Your Highness, I will deliver the letter to you immediately."
"Okay! Go ahead!"
Linghu Lan lowered her head again, intending to reply to Jun Zhe with a sweet message: The sweet message has been delivered and stored in my heart. You can retrieve it by entering the correct password. Password: Hidden.
Linghu Lan smiled for a while after looking at the note, then ordered a young eunuch to deliver it to Jun Zhe. She then sat down quietly to look at the splashed-ink landscape painting by Zou Qiuyuan, a famous artist from the previous dynasty.
This landscape painting was the one that hit the Empress Dowager. After it fell off the wall, it was banished to the cold palace of the treasury. It was Jun Zhe who knew that Linghu Lan liked landscapes, so he specially found other landscape paintings and gave them to her so that she could study and learn from them.
This move greatly pleased Linghu Lan; with the weapon that struck the Empress Dowager in hand, he felt invincible.
However, such leisurely days, which can be stolen from a busy life, are few and far between.
In the afternoon, she received a visiting card from Yuehuangyin's mother, the Princess of Qinyang, requesting that she enter the palace the next day to pay her respects to the Empress.
Linghu Lan looked at the visiting card and pondered for a long time. Then she looked towards the direction of Xiankun Palace. Since he liked to bully others by relying on his power, then she would first remove his wings and then eliminate him in one fell swoop. Since Jun Zhe had already become suspicious, then no matter how unbelievable the subsequent events were, they would be the only truth.
Faced with Lin Mama's eager gaze, Linghu Lan nodded and agreed to let the princess enter the palace. Only then did Lin Mama leave happily.
Granny Lin was a maidservant brought by Princess Qinyang from her maiden home. She was extremely loyal to the princess and always cared deeply about the rise and fall of the royal family.
In the evening.
The emperor has arrived.
After the two had their meal, they sat together on the couch and played chess.
Jun Zhe suddenly blurted out: "Blocked."
She blushed as soon as she finished speaking.
Linghu Lan was stunned for a moment, then something was censored.
Jun Zhe's flushed face showed a hint of anxiety. "Where's my love letter delivery? You said I could retrieve it by entering a password, and I need it now."
Linghu Lan recalled the note she had written back to Jun Zhe, and her face flushed slightly. She teased him with a smile, "I love you!"
Jun Zhe's blood rushed to his head, his face flushed crimson, and his eyes seemed to be filled with tears. He said again, "It's blocked!"
"I love you!"
"Blocked!"
Linghu Lan: "..." You, you, you, you, that's enough!
Do you think I'm a broken record?
Jun Zhe snorted: "Looks like not every password entry is useful after all!"
Linghu Lan: "I! Love! You!"
They brought this on themselves, they deserve it!
If only I had set the password to "I love you," I would have made you say sweet nothings to me every day.
Jun Zhe's face darkened. "Such clenched teeth, it doesn't sound like sweet talk at all."
Linghu Lan: ""
Whose brat is this?! I want a refund! Seriously?!
The gloating system: Yours!
Linghu Lan: So I'll sleep with him even if I have to kneel down, to show him what I'm capable of! Humph!
System: Your dirty talk is known to everyone in the entire ano community.
