Yue Qingyin was not afraid at all. She looked at Linghu Lan with a smile and said, "Sister has always liked rainy scenes. Since I have nothing to do, I came out for a walk. Where are you going, sister?"
"The Empress Dowager is ill, and I am going to visit her. We are sisters, why don't you come with me?" Linghu Lan's eyes flickered slightly, and her delicate eyebrows were even more graceful in the misty rain.
Yue Qingyin's heart couldn't help but flutter. She lowered her eyes and said, "Your Majesty, I have already visited the Empress Dowager, so I won't go with you. The roads are slippery in the rain, so please be careful!"
Linghu Lan smiled slightly, "These are the words I wanted you to say to your sister. She has always been delicate and frail, so you should be careful not to catch a cold."
Yue Qingyin's expression turned cold. "Your Majesty, I will be careful."
Linghu Lan raised her hand, and the sedan chair continued forward.
Yue Qingyin snorted coldly, got into the sedan chair, and soon the two sedan chairs went in opposite directions and finally disappeared.
After a while, they arrived at Xiankun Palace and the sedan chair stopped.
A young eunuch caught up with the sedan chair and whispered in Linghu Lan's ear, "Your Majesty, the Consort Xian's sedan chair has gone to His Majesty's Yong'an Palace."
Linghu Lan: "..."
Granny Lin said softly, "This is a diversionary tactic."
Linghu Lan: "..."
This was a scheme orchestrated by the Empress Dowager and Yue Qingyin. One lured her away, while the other seduced Jun Zhe. It must have been quite a hassle for them to go through so much trouble.
"It's alright! I know what I'm doing."
Linghu Lan smiled brightly, for the higher she climbed now, the harder she would fall later.
She stepped into Xiankun Palace, but her foot slipped, and she lost her balance and was about to fall.
Lin Mama hurriedly called out, "Your Majesty, be careful!"
"Your Majesty, watch your step!" Everyone exclaimed in alarm, and people immediately came to their rescue. However, as they stood there, their feet slipped, and several people fell to the ground, tumbling into a heap.
No sooner said than done, Linghu Lan quickly braced herself with her hand, spun around, and stood steadily in another place.
Looking at the crowd of people who were falling and yelling in front of him, he felt a surge of anger.
Palace intrigue!
They'll use any trick in the book!
The entire place was smeared with oil, and this trick was only used after they arrived at Xiankun Palace. It seems that the Empress Dowager is not afraid of being held accountable later.
Or perhaps she wasn't afraid at all that Jun Zhe would cause her trouble. In her mind, Jun Zhe was an easy-to-deal-with brat, no match for her at all.
If I had slipped and fallen without warning, I would have likely broken my arms and legs and been bedridden for months.
The Empress Dowager wasn't really asking people to attend to her illness; she was clearly trying to create a sick person out of the blue.
Granny Lin hurriedly stepped forward to help Linghu Lan up and down. After checking her over and making sure she was alright, she gave the people from Xiankun Palace a cold look. With such a commotion here, not a single person from Xiankun Palace had come out to offer any greetings. They all seemed to be deaf and mute.
Lin Mama was filled with rage; this was truly going too far.
"Your Majesty the Empress was just frightened; please summon the imperial physician to take a look!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Yun Nian came out from inside with a smile.
"Your Majesty, this servant greets you. What is wrong with you? The imperial physician is currently in the Empress Dowager's palace. Would it be better if he could examine Your Majesty?"
Linghu Lan smiled.
Just because I'm not showing my power doesn't mean I'm some kind of sheep!
Let me show you what it means to invite a god but find it hard to send him away.
