"Eat more if you like." Lin Su's words were faint, but they made Wang Liulian almost jump. She let out a suppressed exclamation, and when Si Hui looked at her uneasily, she could only look at Lin Su with pleading eyes.
Lin Su pursed her lips and laughed, "Eat, I'll keep your mother's share for her." With that, she sat back in her place, looked at Wang Liulian's changing face with a smile, and said in a low voice: "I really can't imagine that one day I will see you change color and no longer be able to disguise." ”
Wang Liulian looked at Lin Su with an ugly expression, and only after half a sound did she suddenly get up and kneel at Lin Su's feet, "The concubine is guilty, the imperial concubine wants to fight or kill the concubine, but the child is innocent...... Hui'er has always been well-behaved and clever, so she begged the imperial concubine to forgive her, right? ”
Si Hui on the side was ignorant, although she didn't know what was going on, she also obediently put down the pastry in her hand and knelt beside Wang Liulian, looking up at Lin Su. "Imperial concubine, don't punish your mother......" Her childish voice was covered by Wang Liulian at the beginning.
Wang Liulian looked up at Lin Su, but saw that Lin Su was still smiling.
"Why should you do that? Hui'er is the emperor's daughter after all, and it's too ......late for me to love her," Lin Su said, pulled up Si Hui and hugged her in his arms, then looked down at Wang Liulian, "Get up and sit and talk well, you and I are sisters, why should you be polite." ”
Wang Liulian slowly got up at this time, and looked at Lin Su with a complicated expression and sat down slowly. "The imperial concubine is now above 10,000 people, so why bother with me, a person who is struggling to survive? Even if the concubine made a mistake, after all, it did not cause any irreparable situation, and asked the imperial concubine to be magnanimous and forgive the concubine's temporary ......"
"If you make a mistake, sometimes it's irreparable." Lin Su handed Si Hui to the nurse on the side and motioned for them all to go down, and then looked at Wang Liulian, "I'm afraid you never thought that your conspiracy with the queen would be heard in your ears......
Wang Liulian's face turned pale, and her whole body trembled slightly.
"Imperial concubine......" she said in a dry voice, "The concubine and the concubine are just forced, just a chess piece in the queen's hand......"
"What about Concubine Jing's first child? And Zhao Yuexin, when you conspired with the queen to frame me, did you ever think that one day these things you did would be revealed? Lin Su got up and looked at Wang Liulian coldly, "Don't worry, I won't do anything to you, and I won't do anything to the second princess." ”
"Imperial Concubine......" Wang Liulian looked up at Lin Su, "Why ......?"
"Don't you think it's sometimes more painful to be alive?" Lin Su sneered, "You never know when I'll get tired of such a thing and poison you...... Concubine Lian, unless you are bold enough to attack me again, otherwise, you will live in such horror for the rest of your life. Worried that I'm going to do it to you, or to your daughter......"
She got up, walked towards Wang Liulian step by step, and finally stopped in front of her.
"Unless, you kill me, Concubine Lian. Otherwise, you will live in such a panic for the rest of your life......" Lin Su looked at Wang Liulian and provoked the corners of his lips, "It's just, now you, do you dare?" ”
Wang Liulian didn't dare to look at Lin Su when she looked down, but her hands were tightly gripping her nails and sinking into the tender skin, oozing a trace of blood.
"Concubine Lian, I'm waiting for you to make a decision." She sneered, then turned around and walked out of the room, and went outside to help Xia Yan's hand out of the entire palace. I didn't take a sedan car, but slowly walked along the path and looked at the flowers and plants along the way, walking in a daze.
"Master, why do you ...... today" Xia Yan hesitated a little and looked at Lin Su, "The emperor will naturally not let Concubine Lian go easily, just wait patiently." The master put himself in danger, if it was really Concubine Lian who did something to the master......"
"Then I naturally won't give her any more chances!" Lin Su pursed his lips and smiled, turned his head and walked to sit under a gazebo, looked at the blooming flowers, and then said in a low voice: "I don't know why the emperor would be afraid of a Wang Liulian, maybe it's just for the decency of the second princess, so ...... It's just that she was able to cooperate with Zhou Shuxian to murder Ah Fu and Ah Lun for the sake of the second princess, so what about the future? If she had a son of her own...... How can I rest easy? ”
Xia Yan was slightly stunned for a moment, and then pursed her lips and stopped talking. Lin Su glanced back at her and said with a smile: "I know that it is a pustule, if I don't dig it out, then it will definitely be fatal in the future." ”
Xia Yan thoughtfully, nodded her head and said in a low voice: "Then the slave will go back and go through all the people in the Fuliu Hall by the way, just be careful." ”
Lin Su nodded, let out a long sigh of relief, and stopped talking.
However, to Lin Su's surprise, Wang Liulian spent the rest of her days as if nothing had happened, staying in the palace all day to take care of the second princess and the second prince, and occasionally going to the palace of the Empress Dowager Zhao to take the second princess and the second prince to talk to the queen mother. Other than that, there was no other action.
Until the second princess's birthday, Si Yue took Lin Su to personally hold a banquet for the second princess to celebrate her birthday in the harem, and even the Empress Dowager Zhao passed. In the middle of the banquet, Wang Liulian suddenly got up and knelt in the center.
"What's going on?" Empress Dowager Zhao was holding the second princess and teasing her, and when she saw Wang Liulian kneeling down, she was slightly surprised, so she turned her head to look at Si Yue and motioned for Si Yue to deal with it.
Wang Liulian kowtowed, and then said in a low voice: "The concubine is always restless these days, and she can always hear a burst of Sanskrit sound after nightmares at night, so she wants to ask for a grace and be able to go to the royal temple to practice, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue for the second princess and the second prince, and seeking the blessing of the Buddha." ”
What she said was still a bit blunt, so everyone present was stunned. The twin sisters Chang Xing and Chang Yue couldn't help but get together and muttered in a low voice.
Lin Su looked straight at Wang Liulian who was kneeling in the center, and couldn't help but admire this woman in his heart. Wang Liulian's move can be described as a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle, if she goes out of the palace to practice, then Lin Su can naturally rest assured. And when she left the palace, she was afraid that the second princess would only be able to be raised by the queen mother's side like the third princess, and Lin Su would naturally not be able to do anything to her, and in this way, the second princess would be saved.
Such a solution, such a ruthlessness to oneself, is really not something that ordinary people can do.
Lin Su thought about it, and heard Si Yue say, "You said you want to go to the royal temple to practice?" ”
"Yes, the concubines want to shave as nuns, pray for the emperor, for the queen mother, and for the emperor's heirs, and it will not be in vain for the emperor and the queen mother to take care of the concubines over the years. The concubine has made up her mind, and she also asks the emperor and the queen mother to fulfill it. ”
As she spoke, she kowtowed hard again, and with a "bang" her head slammed on the floor, Lin Su's heart trembled.
