The whispered voice woke up Lin Su, she sat up slightly straight, looked in the direction where the voice came from, and vaguely seemed to hear the person who spoke mention the words "imperial concubine" and "queen", and was slightly stunned in her heart, and got up and walked to the window like a ghost, wanting to listen carefully to what the people outside were saying.

“…… The imperial concubine is now more and more favored by the emperor, the former queen has been gone for more than half a year, you even give her such a thing, and you are not afraid that one day the imperial concubine will be ruthless to find out, you can't finish eating and walking! ”

"I'm afraid, too, but who can I tell about this?" The second voice was thin, with a palpable panic. The two of them paused for a moment, and then the voice remembered again, "But at the beginning, we all thought that the emperor would immediately stand on the side of the imperial concubine, but now there is no movement, but I am afraid that ...... The emperor doesn't really favor the imperial concubine, so why should I mess around and panic......"

"You're still stubborn, if it weren't for the fact that we have such a little kinship, I would have just left you alone!" The eunuch who spoke before was angry and annoyed, and only after half a sound did he whisper again: "You don't want to think about it, who else is still alive with the favored concubines in this harem?" ”

"Isn't there still a lotus concubine? Besides, the moon concubines and star concubines are not also good. Although Concubine Lan is not favored now, she is also living comfortably......"

"Shut that mouth of yours!" The eunuch laughed angrily, "Do you think the masters you said are doing well? Don't talk about others, let's just talk about Concubine Lan, who entered the palace at the same time as Concubine Lian. Now Concubine Lian is already a concubine, not to mention the second princess by her side, and she still has the second prince, what about her concubine? lives alone in a corner of the harem, and it is rare to see the emperor on weekdays......"

"Then the second uncle ......" The little palace maid hesitated for a moment and said in a low voice: "At least there is not a lotus concubine...... She is now a concubine, and she has children and daughters......"

"But look at it, how many times has the emperor seen her now?"

"Isn't this busy around the Chinese New Year......"

"Don't be stupid, I got the news here, the emperor is only afraid that after the Lantern Festival, he will reprimand the people of the Wang family...... Do you say that this is the emperor's favorite concubine? She was able to climb to the current concubine position because she was valued by the imperial concubine back then. If you want to say that in this harem, the people who were valued by the imperial concubine at the beginning, except for the current Concubine Lian, that is, Concubine Jing......" The eunuch said and sighed in a low voice, "The imperial concubine values Concubine Jing more, and Concubine Jing is good." When I was on an errand with her, I never saw her harshly criticize her subordinates......"

"Why did Concubine Jing die inexplicably...... I heard that before Concubine Jing's accident, the imperial concubine sent someone to take the third princess by her side......"

"Don't talk nonsense!" The eunuch looked around cautiously, Lin Su subconsciously dodged, and then heard the eunuch lower his voice again: "What do you know at a young age, if it wasn't for the imperial concubine who found out early and stopped the third princess, I'm afraid that the three princesses will all disappear with Concubine Jing...... Where will there be a life to be by the Queen Mother's side now......"

"Concubine Jing once inadvertently told me that the imperial concubine seems to be ruthless, but she is a gentle person, as long as she does not have the heart to harm her, she will never take the initiative to harm others. The most important thing is that the imperial concubine is not taboo at all that the harem concubine is pregnant, if it is not for the protection of the imperial concubine, you think that the children of Concubine Lian and Concubine Jing can be born, think about the late concubine, it was still the queen who was in charge, but the final result is not the same 'go to the mother and keep the child'......"

"Didn't you say that it was the hand of the imperial concubine at that time? I heard that at that time, the emperor also ordered the feet of the imperial concubine to be banned, so the second prince would be sent to the former queen to raise, how could I hear the second uncle say, it seems to be the queen's hand......"

"The selfishness in this harem, how can you see it. There are some things that depend on the final beneficiary, and you will only notice it when you think about it after time has passed......" The eunuch sighed, "Now that Concubine Jing is gone, I have only transferred to the dining room...... You are young, and the time you have served in the Chaofeng Palace is short, and the imperial concubine will not bother with you as a little girl......"

"Could it be that the second uncle really wants me to go to the imperial concubine to confess?" The little palace maid's voice trembled as she spoke, "This is a great crime to murder the imperial heir...... I...... The queen is dead, in case the imperial concubine blames me...... I can't afford it......"

"This is ......" The eunuch seemed to want to say something, but someone shouted in the distance, and the two of them dispersed in a hurry, leaving only Lin Su in the room leaning against the wall in a daze.

The great crime of murdering the emperor's heir......

Now there is only one headless mystery left, that is, the incident when Ah Fu and Ah Lun fell into the water......

If the "great crime of murdering the emperor's heir" mentioned by the little palace maid refers to this matter, it seems to be related to Zhou Shuxian?

She slowly leaned against the wall and straightened up, and walked back to the bed step by step to lie down, although she closed her eyes, she no longer felt a little sleepy. Lin Su's mind kept recalling the conversation between the two before, and finally thought of some clues.

The Lantern Festival feast ended smoothly, although there was a little accident in the middle, but after all, it had little impact, and no one took it to heart. No one even knew that Lin Su had ever heard such a conversation, and after resting for a few days, Lin Su privately called Xia Yan to speak and sent her to investigate a eunuch in the restaurant.

"I used to stay in Concubine Jing's palace, but after Concubine Jing was gone, she was transferred to the dining room. The age is about thirty or forty years old......" Lin Su recalled the voice of the eunuch and hesitated slightly, "Forget it, it doesn't count age, as long as it is in Concubine Jing's palace, you can write it down and tell me." ”

Although Xia Yan didn't know why Lin Su suddenly wanted to investigate a eunuch, or the eunuch who had served by the late Concubine Jing's side, she didn't say much, and responded in a low voice, and then said: "Father-in-law Chang came before, saying that the emperor said it, come over for dinner tonight, and let the master prepare." ”

Lin Su was slightly stunned, and after careful calculation, in addition to Si Yue's busy days of political affairs, he had been staying in her Fuliu Hall for half a month...... If you extrapolate further, it seems that since she miscarried, Si Yue has never favored the other concubines in the harem......

Thinking like this, the first thing that sprung up in her heart was not the dissatisfaction of favoring the six palaces in the past, but a sweetness. Lin Su didn't even notice when Xia Yan left, just thinking about the menu for the evening in his heart.
