Imperial Study
Zhu Jingchen ignored Lin Qihua and his wife, as well as Lin Jitong, sitting below him, and quietly reviewed the memorials. He was already aware of what had happened yesterday.
Was Xu Heming's action intentional?
Why would Lin Qihua not be after someone else's wealth?
He wouldn't believe it if there wasn't someone with ulterior motives, but considering that Consort Lin had recently become pregnant, Zhu Jingchen wasn't too surprised that the Lin family wanted to make a move.
However, most people do things discreetly, but the Lin family is different. Lin Chang just got pregnant, and it's still uncertain whether she can give birth.
They actually started acting tough.
Do they really think the Lin family owns the entire capital?
The thought that the Lin family's plan had failed and the Li family's vast fortune would fall into his hands, and that the Lin family had essentially done a favor for him, made Zhu Jingchen feel a little better.
"Your Majesty, Consort Lin requests an audience," the young eunuch said softly as he entered, his head bowed.
Zhu Jingchen frowned. This was exactly what he had hoped for. It seemed that Consort Lin had known all along that Marquis Ruan and his wife had arrived.
What does she want to do by coming here at this time?
To let himself take charge of the Marquis of Ru'an's mansion?
It seems that Consort Lin may have been involved in the Marquis of Ru'an's actions.
Thinking of this, Zhu Jingchen put down his pen and said somewhat displeasedly, "Let her in!"
Zhu Jingchen then gestured to a eunuch beside him to invite the Empress over.
As the head of the six palaces, the Empress was in charge of the affairs of the concubines.
Lin Chang is just a lowly servant; he's not worth my time.
"This humble servant greets Your Majesty. May Your Majesty enjoy boundless blessings and peace." Consort Lin touched her slightly protruding belly and bowed to Zhu Jingchen.
"Hmm, what brings you here?" Zhu Jingchen asked, glancing at Lin Changzai with some displeasure.
"This humble servant has not seen my parents for a long time. I only dared to come and see them after hearing that they had entered the palace. I hope Your Majesty will forgive this humble servant for coming uninvited." Consort Lin said these words to Zhu Jingchen to forgive her, but her hands never left her stomach. Obviously, she thought that since she was carrying the emperor's child, the emperor would not do anything to her.
"Consort Lin is certainly well-informed," Zhu Jingchen scoffed, then said with a hint of sarcasm.
"It was someone in the palace who knew that I missed my family, and that's why I let it slip." Consort Lin, however, failed to understand the hidden meaning in Zhu Jingchen's words.
Lin Qihua, on the other hand, was a little anxious. He didn't want his daughter to get involved.
After all, my daughter is now pregnant with the emperor's child, so she shouldn't have to worry about such a trivial matter.
However, considering that their opponent was Prince An, he then sent a letter to his daughter.
It's important to understand that if they can't get their hands on the Li family's things, the one most affected will actually be their daughter.
Although my daughter is in the palace, what kind of place is the palace? She needs money to bribe people everywhere.
They certainly didn't want their daughter to remain a lowly concubine for life. Although she was pregnant now, they were certain that her rank would be elevated once the imperial grandson was born.
However, at most she would be a Noble Lady, and at best a Concubine. It would be extremely difficult for her to become a Consort.
As I am getting old, it is basically impossible for me to achieve any military success on the battlefield, and as for any other political achievements, there is almost no chance.
Therefore, managing the affairs of the daughter in the palace was also very important.
Thinking of this, Lin Qihua quickly winked at his daughter, but at this moment, Consort Lin had not seen the Emperor for a long time, and her eyes and heart were filled with longing for the Emperor, so she could not care about Lin Qihua.
