Chapter 169 Declining Trust
"Your Majesty, have you seen clearly today? The hearts of these people have long been crooked."
In Wanyan Palace, Shen Ruyu slowly mixed the calming incense with a faint smile on her lips.
But when the words came out of her mouth, there was a hint of resentment, "If it weren't for General Ying who brought people to find out at that time, maybe..."
She didn't say the rest of the words, half-hiding, leaving room for people to imagine.
The emperor leaned on the bed with a gloomy face, his eyes half-closed, and his expression was uncomfortable.
"Is the incense ready?" His voice was a little hoarse, and he could not hide his fatigue.
At this moment, a pair of hands were placed on his temples, rubbing them slowly for him.
Shen Ruyu's gentle and charming voice came from above his head, "It's ready. Your Majesty should not feel headache after you get used to it."
After a while, the emperor's frown finally relaxed, and his face became much more relaxed.
"I heard that Lord Lin's daughter was also abducted by assassins today, but somehow she came back on her own. The maid who saw her said that she found that Miss Lin had been to Wende Hall." As soon as
the last three words came out, the emperor's eyes suddenly opened, and there was a gloomy look in his eyes.
"Where did she go and what did she do?"
Shen Ruyu shook her head. "I don't know. The palace maid said that when she found out that she had gone in, she wanted to follow her in and bring Miss Lin out, but when she thought of your majesty's order, she didn't dare to go in and could only wait outside."
"But after waiting for a long time, Miss Lin didn't come out, so she had to go find the female official."
"In the end, Miss Lin ran back to Yu Garden by herself. Your majesty, do you think this is rare?"
"A two-year-old girl can dodge so many people and return to Yu Garden. She is really amazing. She is worthy of being Lord Lin's children. Each of them is a dragon among men."
The emperor did not respond to her words, but asked: "Where is she?"
Knowing what she was talking about, Shen Ruyu sighed: "She is still the same as before, neither human nor ghost. Your Majesty is kind-hearted, so you didn't burn her to death. It's good to leave her there to linger. After all, she is alive."
The emperor lowered his eyes and said nothing. He buried his head in Shen Ruyu's arms.
Shen Ruyu gently touched his head, but there was disgust in her eyes.
She also discovered the matter of that crazy woman by accident. Everyone in the palace was very careful about it and dared not talk about it.
She noticed that the emperor treated the crazy woman differently, and tried again and again, but found that no matter how she hypnotized him, the emperor said nothing about it, which made her curious.
Unfortunately, the effect of the tranquilizer was too short, and Shen Ruyu had to give up investigating it for fear of being too late.
She only knew that the emperor wanted the crazy woman to die, but didn't want her to die, so in the end he tied her up in the Wende Hall like a dog.
...
Since the assassination of Qi Qiao, the emperor has obviously become much more cautious. Not only did he stop holding banquets in the palace, he also asked the imperial guards to stay in the palace for the next month, and ordered the Dali Temple to investigate the matter personally.
However, all the assassins were dead, and there was no result.
At the same time, Crown Prince Song Mo was impeached by court officials for various reasons, which angered the emperor, who stripped him of all his powers and transferred his right-hand men out of the East Palace.
The people on the Crown Prince's side were the first to get restless, and they made one plea after another to defend him, which only displeased the emperor and he punished them all.
If this trend continues, perhaps all the helpers around the Crown Prince will be stripped away.
This makes everyone alert.
However, these things should naturally be the concern of those related to them, while Lin Baoer and Lin Ruqian are in full swing.
The opening of Wuyun Pavilion attracted a large number of people. In addition to those rouge and powder, Lin Baoer specifically asked Lin Ruqian to add some other business.
The modern makeup industry is far behind the ancient times. As for makeup tools, powder puffs, eye shadow brushes, foundation brushes, eyebrow brushes, blush brushes, mascara, etc., are enough to clean up the makeup tools of the ancient times.
Of course, some tools may not be available in the ancient times, but as long as there is enough money and skills, other things can be used as substitutes.
Not only that, whitening cream, acne cream, wrinkle cream, perfume, fragrance, etc., there is nothing that Lin Baoer can't think of.
Once these came out, Wuyun Pavilion made a lot of money on the first day of its opening.
In order to prevent the products from being sold everywhere, Lin Baoer even resorted to hunger marketing and raised the prices to the highest level. After all, what Yanjing City lacked the least was rich people.
Chu Jingchen, Wei Zhixu and others also came to Lin Baoer for this reason, hoping that she could give them a backdoor.
Lin Baoer was naturally generous to her future sister-in-law, and directly gave her the beauty pills and acne creams redeemed from the system. As for other people, she had no control over them.
After all, her system points were limited, and she couldn't redeem every box from the system mall. If she encountered danger later, wouldn't she just wait to die?
For this reason, she went to charity and rescue the wounded during that time, just to earn more points.
Unfortunately, the points she got for helping to avoid murder were pitifully few. She couldn't go to the Dali Temple for this, so she could only sit back and take things as they came.
In the end, the remaining points were enough to save her life, and she didn't ask for anything else.
It was mainly because she was lazy. As long as she could live safely, she could handle the rest.
After Wuyun Pavilion became popular, there were inevitably people who copied it. But no matter how they learned, they couldn't achieve the effect of Wuyun Pavilion, so they had to give up.
...
Shuiqing Building, third floor.
The semi-open platform had long been built by Lin Ruqian into a large open private room, separated from the outside by a door, which was their own secret space.
When you want to barbecue, you can barbecue. When you want to party, you can party. It's so comfortable.
"Ruqian, your acne cream is so useful. It's really gone!" Wei Zhixu held his face, smiling, approached Lin Ruqian and nudged her with his elbow, "Can you sell two more boxes to the sisters?"
Lin Ruqian shrank her arms, "The ones for the sisters were made by Baoer herself. I don't have any extra ones."
Several people looked at each other and widened their eyes.
So what he meant was that the ones for them were different from those sold in Wuyun Pavilion?
"No wonder Sister Qi's acne cream doesn't seem to be as effective as mine." Wei Zhixu whispered, secretly happy but also worried, "But it's almost used up, what should I do next?"
Song Qingqing also touched the smooth skin on her face and pursed her lips.
Since Lin Mobai left, Lin Baoer has been running to Ronghe Mansion every few days. She also brought some freckle cream before, saying that it is very useful.
She applied it for about half a month with doubts. One day, she suddenly found that the spots on the tip of her nose were gone, which surprised her.
It turned out to be really useful.
Now it seems that all of this was done intentionally by Lin Baoer.
