Lady Lu was horrified and fell to the ground. She didn't know how Zhao Chen knew about it. At this moment, there was only one thought in her mind, that she was exposed!
Lady Lu had no intention of resisting Zhao Chen: "Your Majesty... please spare me."
Zhao Chen said nothing, watching people dragging Lady Lu away. Lady Lu's nails grabbed the ground, and the broken piece fell to Lin Zhiya's feet.
Lin Zhiya's face was full of confusion. What was going on? How did Zhao Chen know what Lady Lu was thinking?
He disliked living with Yuan Cainü, so he found a way to push Yuan Cainü into trouble. If Zhao Chen had made up this reason out of thin air, he could have gone out and drawn a book to sell for money.
What’s even more strange is that Lady Lu admitted it. Her attitude just now was clearly what Zhao Chen had predicted.
Lin Zhiya felt very disappointed and was full of fear towards Zhao Chen because she found out that she didn't even know Zhao Chen!
If one wants to find out Zhao Chen’s secret, all one needs to do is send a secret guard over there. Unfortunately, Lin Zhiya no longer has any secret guards.
Lin Zhiya regretted that she shouldn't have wasted one on Lin Yiyuan.
...
...
Yuan Cainu was so excited that her face turned red: "Thank you, Your Majesty, and thank you, Concubine Wan, for proving my innocence."
This was the first time that Yuan Cainu saw Zhao Chen in person. The last time she entered the palace, she hid among several other maids and didn't even dare to raise her head. She only saw Zhao Chen's boots embroidered with auspicious clouds.
【Take my lotus leaf and go back to cook pearl rice. 】
Lin Zhiya was picking and choosing beside the pond. Her moon-white skirt half-covered her embroidered shoes, revealing only the tip of the shoe.
[This lotus leaf has a hole bitten by an insect, what a pity. 】
Zhao Chen said suddenly: "I haven't eaten either, let me go back with my beloved concubine."
Lin Zhiya readily agreed, and the two walked side by side on the path.
The palace maids and eunuchs also followed the two men, and the pond soon became deserted. Only Yuan Cainü was left, staring obsessively in the direction where the two men disappeared.
How favored Concubine Wan is.
Her father once said that she had a chance to become the queen, and that the emperor would choose one from among them, but Yuan Cainü found out that it was not the case, and the emperor had no such intention at all.
Then who will be the queen...Will it be Concubine Wan? Is Concubine Wan what the emperor has in mind?
Lin Zhiya and Zhao Chen returned to Xuanzhu Palace, and the system popped up an upgrade at the right time: rewards were obtained for reorganizing the harem, and the majesty value increased by 10.
Lin Zhiya checked the data and found that because of the addition of 10 twice, a majesty value of 39.5 was still needed.
Zhao Chen was wondering: "Will my beloved concubine cook for me later?"
Lin Zhiya: "...I don't know how to cook, so let the maid do it for me."
The pearl rice was wrapped in lotus leaves, and the color made people's appetite whet. Lin Zhiya called Zhao Xiaoxiong as well, and the three of them sat under the tree to eat.
Zhao Chen accidentally caught a glimpse of Lin Zhiya wiping Zhao Xiaoxiong's hands, and the doubts that had been in his mind for a long time came to his mind again.
After the meal, Zhao Xiaoxiong didn’t want to go back to the tutor to study, and stuck to Lin Zhiya like a little tail.
Lin Zhiya saw the unused kite in the house, and suddenly an idea came to her mind: "Mom will take you to fly a kite."
Zhao Xiaoxiong jumped for joy, carefully grasping the corner of his mother's clothes, his eyes full of desire: "Can we go to the small garden? Third brother's mother also took him to the small garden to fly a kite."
Lin Zhiya prepared some water in case Zhao Xiaoxiong got thirsty on the way, and the mother and son set off.
The area around the small garden is more spacious, unlike the imperial garden which is planted with various precious flowers and plants, and it is also more spacious to walk around.
The kite looked like an ordinary swallow. Not long after Zhao Xiaoxiong released it, the string got stuck on a treetop.
Zhao Xiaoxiong called out to his mother reflexively: "Mom!"
Lin Zhiya asked the nimble young eunuch to climb up and reach the kite, but the eunuch broke the string and the kite was slightly blocked by the tree and almost flew away.
Zhao Xiaoxiong was anxious: "Let me go up, let me do it myself."
Lin Zhiya naturally disagreed with her son climbing the tree. If he fell, would Zhao Xiaoxiong be able to bear it? "Mom will find you another kite to play with. We don't want this one."
Zhao Xiaoxiong shook his head: "It's the first time I fly a kite with my mother, I don't want to throw it away."
Lin Zhiya held his hand, feeling helpless and compassionate: "Mother, ask the guards to go up and get it."
Lin Zhiya called the guards over, but at this time a gust of wind blew, and the kite with a broken string swayed, as if it was about to break free from the tree and fly away.
Zhao Xiaoxiong quietly took off his shoes and climbed up the tree while Lin Zhiya was not paying attention.
"Little Panda, be careful." Lin Zhiya panicked and opened her arms to catch Zhao Xiaoxiong.
Just when Zhao Xiaoxiong reached the kite and was about to come down, black spots suddenly appeared in front of his eyes and he felt dizzy. Zhao Xiaoxiong grabbed the tree trunk tightly to avoid falling.
But at that moment, what he saw changed. The neat palace walls became bloodstained, and the palace maids standing on the ground knelt down and trembled while crying... Everyone was terrified as if a knife was at their neck, and the garden was turned into ruins.
Lin Zhiya held the dazed Zhao Xiaoxiong in her arms, and the imperial physician pinched Zhao Xiaoxiong's Ren Zhong.
Lin Zhiya's palms were sweating from anxiety. How could she let Zhao Xiaoxiong climb a tree? Zhao Xiaoxiong was still so young.
Zhao Xiaoxiong is her only concern in this world besides her mother.
Fortunately, it didn't take long for Zhao Xiaoxiong's dull eyes to return to normal, and he leaned dependently in Lin Zhiya's arms.
Zhao Xiaoxiong: "Mom, I seem to have seen something."
Lin Zhiya was puzzled: "What did you see?"
Zhao Xiaoxiong couldn't say anything. He thought it might be an illusion. Telling his mother would only make her worry. Maybe he could tell his father. It would be okay for his father to worry... but his father might kick him.
Zhao Xiaoxiong immediately closed his mouth, indicating that he saw nothing.
Zhao Xiaoxiong vaguely felt that what he saw was the future. He was unwilling to believe that the future would be like this, so he suppressed it in his heart.
A simple carriage drove into the palace gate. No one questioned her. Concubine Nian was handcuffed and taken to an unused hall.
She raised her head and looked at this place which felt so unfamiliar even though she had only been away for half a month.
Nian Zhaoyi's anklet fell to the ground with a loud noise. She walked forward a few steps dragging the anklet and saw Zhao Chen standing high up on the steps.
Zhao Chen was holding a piece of paper in his slender hand, not squeezing it very hard. He lowered his eyes and looked at Nian Zhaoyi calmly.
He is the first one who is heartless and cold-blooded.
Nian Zhaoyi was deeply aware of this at this moment, but she still said softly: "Your Majesty, what do you want to ask me?"
Zhao Chen let go of his hand, and the paper floated to the feet of Nian Zhaoyi. He said briefly: "I have always wondered, are you really the one who approved me in Jingchen Temple?"
Nian Zhaoyi's originally stable expression suddenly cracked, and she lost her voice: "What?"
