Chapter 360 Eavesdropping Secrets
Lin Baoer did carry a medicine box on her back. These were all the excuses they had prepared in advance. After all, those smart people would not really think that Lin Zhishen would bring two more maids to a palace banquet. This would be more suspicious.
"So the Seventh Prince was injured? Where was he injured? Someone actually tried to assassinate the prince. Did the Seventh Prince go to the Dali Temple to find Lord Guan? I think he will definitely find the assassin for the Seventh Prince and punish him severely!"
"Thank you, Fourth Prince. The assassin has been caught. Don't worry."
"That's good. You said that you had to bring your own people to a palace banquet. As a prince, wouldn't it be better for you to call a doctor?" The Fourth Prince's attention seemed to be no longer on Lin Baoer, and he was still chatting about family matters.
"I'm used to it..."
They chatted and laughed all the way until they arrived at the palace banquet.
At a glance, there were at least hundreds of people. Lin Baoer looked around and felt a little scalp-tingling.
With so many people, where could she find the princes?
Fortunately, after she sat down, she found that on both sides of the main seat, except for the second prince and the fourth prince, the others sat down in order.
Just like Lin Zhishen, he was in the middle.
"The third, fifth, seventh, and tenth." Lin Zhishen whispered in Lin Baoer's ear.
Lin Baoer nodded and stared at these people intently.
When the banquet started, the empress spoke a few words on behalf of the emperor, and then left in a hurry. Although the whole palace banquet was held for the emperor, it was actually just a bridge for those princes to make connections. With so many civil and military officials, they could always find some opportunities to pull them together at this time.
"Sister Baoer, the sixth prince seems to have left." Jiang Yuzhi quietly approached Lin Baoer and said, wondering whether she should follow him.
Lin Baoer was about to say that she would go, but she saw the people around the fourth prince said something to him, and then he hurried away.
Seeing this, Lin Baoer didn't care about much, and said: "I will follow the fourth prince, you go with the sixth prince."
At the moment, Lin Zhishen was entangled by another person and couldn't leave, and she couldn't ask for his opinion, so she could only go first.
Jiang Yuzhi nodded without hesitation and left the palace banquet soon.
Following the direction where the fourth prince left, Lin Baoer quietly moved over. She pressed the restless Xiaofen in her arms and whispered, "Don't move, be careful not to be discovered."
Originally, she didn't want to bring Xiaofen to the palace banquet, but Xiaofen insisted on following her, and she also thought that Xiaofen might be helpful, so she brought her.
Following the man's trail all the way to a garden, the man disappeared immediately.
"Where is the person?!" Lin Baoer looked around, frowning.
How could she not see him after following him for so long?
Didn't she see the man walking in this direction just now?
But before she could continue looking, she heard a voice coming from not far away.
"Xiao Ju, be careful, this is what His Majesty wants to use."
"Hey, what's going on? The palace banquet is so lively, but His Majesty..."
"Isn't the Empress here? We don't have to worry too much. We just need to take good care of them. Let's go and deliver the things first."
"Okay."
Lin Baoer hid behind a tree and watched the two palace maids leave quietly. After thinking about it, she followed them.
Lin Zhishen told her that he had tried to see the emperor since he came back, but was rejected again and again, which he found very strange. This was one of the reasons why he wanted them to come to the palace banquet together.
After leaving the garden, they came to a palace.
Lin Baoer squatted on the edge of the wall, feeling very strange.
Why is there no one guarding this palace?
The emperor's palace should be guarded by many people, especially when the emperor is seriously ill.
The more Lin Baoer thought about it, the more she felt something was wrong. She pursed her lips, and after a long struggle, she chose to sneak in.
Until she was almost at the main hall, she didn't dare to go in again, and let out Xiaofen in her arms, "Xiaofen, go and take a look at how many people are inside." Xiaofen
didn't hesitate, and quickly followed those corners and crannies to get in.
Looking around, Lin Baoer felt so nervous for the first time.
This was her first time to sneak into the emperor's bedroom. She wouldn't be caught as an assassin, would she?
Not long after, Xiaofen came out, climbed up Lin Baoer's trouser leg and onto Lin Baoer's hand, silently stroking her palm twice.
"Two?" Lin Baoer was shocked.
"Only two people?"
It shouldn't be like that? Didn't the maid just go in? Are there only those two maids in there?
Xiaofen seemed to see her doubts, climbed down from her again, and slipped to the other side.
Seeing this, Lin Baoer followed.
It was a side door, which was in a very remote location. It was not easy to be noticed, but you could still see the situation in the palace clearly.
After getting closer and seeing clearly, Lin Baoer realized that what Xiaofen said was true.
There were indeed only two people in there, and they were not the two maids, but the emperor and the empress!
Lin Baoer was terrified, but she suppressed the turmoil in her heart, moved forward a little, and her ears slowly stood up.
"Your Majesty, it's time to take the medicine." The Queen slowly picked up a bowl of medicine, blew on it, and passed it to the Emperor's mouth.
But the Emperor did not appreciate it. Although she could not see his movements, Lin Baoer could still hear his faintly angry voice, "How long are you going to keep me trapped here?! Cough cough cough cough..."
"Your Majesty, don't be excited. I just want you to recover from your illness." The Queen's tone was calm, and she didn't seem to be afraid of the Dragon's anger.
"Recuperate?!" the emperor gritted his teeth, "You put me under house arrest here, is that recuperation?" "
House arrest? How can your majesty think so." The queen pretended to be surprised and sad, "If your majesty wants to go out, you can naturally go out, but... your majesty, you can't go out? I take care of you day and night. After all, I have no merit but also hard work. How can your majesty think that I am under
house arrest?" "Haha, don't pretend with me here. Is it fun to act like this all the time? I just trusted you wrongly! That's why I have ended up like this!" The emperor was furious and coughed bitterly. He pointed at her and couldn't speak.
"Your Majesty, please stop struggling. The more you struggle, the more painful it will be. Why bother?" The Queen tucked the quilt for him and chuckled, "Today is a special day. You must see with your own eyes how my Rong'er ascends the throne, right?"
"Rebel! Traitor! You! You! Cough cough cough... poof!"
A mouthful of blood spurted out, and the emperor fainted again.
The Queen wiped the blood off her body slowly, her face was not tense, but she smiled, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you have been the emperor for so many years, isn't it time to abdicate?... What a man!"
