Chapter 355: Killing Machine
Early the next morning, Xie Shiyun had just stepped out of the room when she heard a little girl report that the daughter of the Lin family had hanged herself last night and left a suicide note to her parents.
Xie Shiyun immediately asked Sixi to investigate more carefully.
Lin Yawen hanged herself in her room last night, and the content of the suicide note she left behind probably said: How Lin Yawen and the actor in the capital love each other, and have begged her father and mother not to blame her daughter's unfilial piety, take good care of her body, and finally Lin Yawen also told Xie Shiyun that she was misunderstood, and gave her an innocence.
"Princess, people can't be resurrected after death, don't be sad."
After Xie Shiyun heard the news of Lin Yawen's suicide, she stood by the window alone for almost an hour, and Sixi was afraid that she would be too sad and wanted to come forward to persuade her.
"I'm fine, Sixi, you don't have to worry too much."
"But Miss, seeing you like this, Sixi is a little scared."
Xie Shiyun didn't speak, still leaning against the window, looking at the scenery outside.
She didn't expect Lin Yawen to be so affectionate and righteous, originally she thought that by disposing of Gu Mianmian, Lin Yawen would be able to forget the past and start over, but she never thought that she really followed her lover and passed away.
"Sixi, after a while, you sent someone to send the body of Miss Lin's sweetheart to the Lin Mansion, and asked Lin's father and Lin mother to bury him together regardless of their previous suspicions, and also forget their fate, since they can't live together, I hope they can die together."
The Lin family's parents were already remorseful at this time, and they never thought that their daughter would really be martyred, they knew it was so, so why bother in the first place.
After the old man of the Lin family got the body of the actor, he immediately asked the Taoist priest to choose an auspicious day for the zodiac to bury him with his daughter.
Lin Yawen's suicide note before her death helped Xie Shiyun prove her innocence in front of Emperor An He, and it also made the prince even more suspicious of Emperor An He.
He summoned the ministers of the former dynasty several times to go to the imperial study to discuss matters, but did not allow the prince to enter, but instead asked Xie Wen to accompany him and discuss national affairs.
Xie Wen's temperament has always been more down-to-earth and steady than that of the crown prince Xie Yuan, and most of them only listen to the discussions between Emperor An and the ministers, while he himself rarely speaks, because he is more and more valued by Emperor An He.
Xie Wen's favor and the child in the queen's womb made Xie Yuan very uneasy, for fear that the crown prince would be taken away by others.
"Eniang, you must help Erchen this time, my father has favored Xie Wen recently, and he is not as close to Erchen as he used to be, and even often reprimands Erchen, if this continues, I am afraid that Erchen's position as the prince will not be kept."
Xie Yuan originally wanted to see Emperor Anhe, but Emperor Anhe said that he was unhappy and did not want to see the prince, so the prince came to the mansion of his mother-in-law, Concubine Shuniang.
"Do you still mean to complain to Eniang here, how did this palace give birth to such an uncompetitive thing as you, why was it hurt by the girl of the Gu family, do you know that now the people in the entire palace are laughing at you behind your back."
"Eniang, Erchen knows that he is wrong, but you must help Erchen! The queen is also pregnant with a dragon fetus, if the queen successfully gives birth to a prince this time, she will be the first concubine of Da Chen Kingdom! ”
"Okay, don't worry, this palace will plan for you."
Concubine Shu is the biological mother of the crown prince, and her son's situation is threatened, so she naturally will not stand idly by.
Xie Wen has already grown up, not to mention that he has been hiding deeply, if he wants to deal with him, I am afraid it will take more effort, and even if he is favored by the emperor again, after all, he is a concubine, and his friendship with the ministers of the previous dynasty is not deep.
However, if the queen gives birth to a concubine in one fell swoop this time, it will be a great disadvantage to the status of the prince.
The queen's mother's status is prominent, and she is also majestic among the ministers, so thinking about it, Concubine Shu decided to attack the dragon fetus in the queen's belly first, and get rid of this elbow and armpit problem, so as to keep the position of the prince.
Previously, Concubine Shu took the initiative to befriend the queen, just to let the queen relax her vigilance against her, so that she could have a chance to succeed.
"Niangniang, the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming well today, so the slave maid should accompany Niangniang to take a look."
Ruyu was dressing up for the queen in front of the mirror, and the queen was just staying in the palace these days, she was afraid that the queen would be stuffy, so she had a proposal.
"Yes, it's just spring, and I didn't expect the flowers in the imperial garden to bloom early." The queen is facing the mirror, choosing the phoenix hairpin to wear.
"The servants also heard from the little eunuchs yesterday that this year, there are a lot of flowers in this imperial garden that have been paid tribute from outside, and now they are all blooming, lush, pink and tender, very beautiful."
The queen just smiled when she heard this, and neither said yes nor did she not agree, but asked about the recent situation of Concubine Shu and the crown prince.
"Niangniang, these days, the emperor has been avoiding seeing the prince, but the emperor attaches great importance to the eleventh prince, not only several rewards, but also ordered the eleventh prince to accompany him a few days ago to discuss state affairs with the ministers. As for the lady concubine, there seems to be no movement. ”
When the queen heard this, she smiled meaningfully: "It seems that some people are afraid that they will not be able to sit still." Ruyu, since you said that the scenery of the imperial garden is good today, let's go with the palace to have a look. ”
"Yes."
Concubine Shu was sitting in the palace drinking tea after finishing her makeup today, and a little eunuch rushed in from outside in a panic to report: "Niangniang, the queen mother and the accompanying palace maids are in the imperial garden at the moment. ”
"Really, the Empress is now in the Imperial Garden?"
"Yes, sis. The minions see it with their own eyes, and there will be no fakes. ”
"Great, the person who came immediately prepared to prepare, the main palace is going to the imperial garden now."
In the past few days, Concubine Shu has been thinking about how to get close to the queen, but the queen has always claimed that she is not feeling well after being pregnant, not only exempting the concubines from asking for peace, but also refusing everyone's visits, she can't find any suitable opportunity to get close to the queen.
Now the opportunity has finally been waited for by her.
Concubine Shu immediately took the palace maids to the imperial garden and deliberately pretended to meet the queen by chance.
"Concubine, please say hello to the queen."
The queen didn't seem surprised to see Concubine Shu, and said with a smile: "Sister, please get up, I didn't expect to meet my sister here." ”
"My sister heard that the flowers in the imperial garden are blooming brightly these days, so I wanted to come here to have a look, but I never thought that I happened to meet the queen's mother."
"It seems that our sisters are also a little clear-hearted, and this palace heard that the flowers in the imperial garden from outside are blooming beautifully, and I want to come here to relax. Besides, a few days ago, the doctor said that the fetus in the womb of the uterus was stable and could come out and walk around. ”
After the queen finished speaking, she deliberately touched her stomach.
"In that case, it's better to let my sister accompany my sister for a walk."
"That's fine," the queen specially branched out of the accompanying palace maids beside her, saying that she wanted to talk to Concubine Shu about herself, not letting other idlers and others get close, and only letting one Ruyu serve around.
