Traveling to the ancient harem

Chapter 337 Shi Yaoyao's Visit

Cining Palace.

Xu Rou waited until the two palace maids walked away before she and Qiu Die came out from behind the rockery where they were hiding.

Although she was also angry in her heart and hated the two palace maids for talking about Concubine Lin being favored, she was more excited.

Concubine Lin had diarrhea all night, and just listening to it was so satisfying.

She came here just to ask the Queen Mother if she could go to Qingyue Palace to watch the joke, preferably in the name of the Queen Mother.

Xu Rou also knew that as she was now a concubine, it would be tantamount to seeking death if she wanted to go to watch a concubine make fun of herself.

You know, it is very easy for a concubine to torture a concubine.

After listening to Xu Rou's narration, Shi Yaoyao thought rapidly in her mind. As far as she knew, Concubine Lin was not someone who would suffer a loss.

Then what was the reason that allowed her to endure such a huge loss?

There are only two possibilities. One possibility is that she can't afford to offend the person who made her suffer.

Another possibility is that someone got hold of something against her and blatantly drugged her, but she dared not speak out out of guilt.

Furthermore, the person who drugged me clearly wanted to make this matter public so that everyone would know about it.

She was not like Xu Rou, that fool. She believed that she had heard these things by chance. You should know that if the palace maids were caught talking about concubines behind their backs, they would be severely punished.

I have to say that Shi Yaoyao guessed it right. She is actually a very smart person who can keep her composure and humble herself.

She was wondering if she could make a breakthrough in this matter, and a plan gradually formed in her mind.

Xu Rou was still chattering.

"Aunt, this Concubine Lin has been jumping up and down since the Queen was deposed. Let's take advantage of this incident to teach her a lesson and let her know that that position is not something she can dream of."

The Queen Mother looked at Shi Yaoyao, wanting to hear what she had to say. She had now become accustomed to relying on this person.

Shi Yaoyao shook her head.

"I think that Concubine Lin can be used by us. She is scheming and resourceful, and she has the Queen Mother's support behind her..."

She looked at the Queen Mother.

"Then she is the most powerful knife. It is most appropriate to use her to deal with Ye Jieyu."

She knew very well that the Queen Mother would lose her mind whenever Concubine Lin was mentioned.

The Queen Mother's eyes turned red with hatred again.

"That Concubine Lin, wasn't she too sick to get out of bed before? How come she suddenly has this ability?"

Although she hated Huang Ye to the core, the Queen Mother was still skeptical about Concubine Lin's abilities.

"She used to pretend to be ill and hibernate, but now it's different. She is smart and favored by the emperor. As long as she can be used by us..."

"Then if she gains power with the help of her aunt, wouldn't the position of queen be hers?"

Xu Rou couldn't stand the look on Shi Yaoyao's face in front of her aunt and couldn't help but interrupt her.

"As long as Concubine Ye is killed, Concubine Lin will no longer be of any use to her. It will only take the Queen Mother's words to decide the matter."

Shi Yaoyao suddenly felt that as long as she planned properly, she could also think about that position.

"If the Queen Mother believes in me, I am willing to go to the Qingyue Palace."

Shi Yaoyao felt more and more that her plan would succeed.

Both the Queen Mother and Xu Rou are too stupid. She needs more help to bring down Concubine Ye.

As long as it could kill Concubine Ye, the Queen Mother would agree. She nodded hatefully.

"Okay, go talk to Concubine Lin. If you need anything, just ask. I only have one condition, and that is to make Concubine Ye die."

"I will definitely live up to the Queen Mother's trust."

Shi Yaoyao was full of confidence. Many things were determined by human effort. She had been looking for a breakthrough, and now she had finally found it, right?

Qingyue Palace.

Concubine Lin lay weakly on the bed. Her face no longer had the rosy color she had cultivated over the past few days, but instead was a frighteningly pale color.

"How is my aunt?"

She asked the palace maid who served her, and the one with the softest voice had to get closer to be heard.

"Your Highness, I just went to see Aunt Yan. She said she is much better now. Please don't worry."

The palace maid replied respectfully.

"That's good…"

Concubine Lin closed her eyes weakly. This time she was not pretending. Anyone who stayed up all night without medical treatment would become extremely weak.

It would be a lie for her to say she wasn't panicking at this moment. This matter...it was clearly something that had been exposed, and it was a warning from Concubine Du to her.

She didn't know whether Eunuch Hu was dead or alive, how much Concubine Du knew, or whether the emperor knew about this or not...

So she forced herself not to ask for the imperial physician last night. She understood that Concubine Du did not want her life, but was just trying to give her a taste of her own medicine.

Lin Jieyu slept in a daze until noon, and only regained some strength after lunch, but she still lay in bed and did not go out.

The last poisoning and this time's drugging caused great harm to her body. She needs to take good care of herself to get her body back to health.

"Your Highness, Mr. Shi outside said that he wanted to come in and talk to you."

At this time, a palace maid came in to report, interrupting her thoughts.

"Shi Cairen?"

Concubine Lin was a little surprised. This person had been the least noticeable person since she entered the palace. She had never even looked at her straight in the eye.

"Tell her to go back and tell her that I am not in a position to see guests now."

Concubine Lin did not suspect that Shi Yaoyao came to laugh at the joke. As a talented person, she probably didn't have the courage to do that.

She simply didn't want to see this person, and the key point was that she didn't have the energy to talk to anyone right now.

The palace maid went out and came back after a while.

"Your Highness, that Shi Cairen is not leaving. She said she knows what you want and she can help you as long as you see her."

"Oh…"

Concubine Lin signaled to the palace maid to help her sit up and lean against the head of the bed.

If she remembered correctly, this talented lady Shi used very dishonorable means to enter the palace.

Also, her father was the Minister of Personnel, but she entered the palace as a talented person. There was something complicated going on.

Her people reported that Concubine Shi had been going to the Cining Palace frequently recently, but she didn't take it seriously at the time.

The Queen Mother has been put under house arrest. Even if she tries to curry favor with her, what benefit can she get?

So what was her purpose in coming to Qingyue Palace today?

"Let her in."

Lin Jieyu thought that instead of guessing here, it would be better to listen to what she said face to face.

Shi Yaoyao was led to the reception room of Qingyue Palace. She drank two bowls of tea before she waited for the late Concubine Lin.

"Sister has met Sister Lin."

When Shi Yaoyao saw Concubine Lin come in, she quickly stood up and bowed respectfully.

"Sister, please stand up."

Concubine Lin gave him some support.

Shi Yaoyao stood up tactfully and sat down in the seat where she had just sat.

Lin Jieyu naturally sat in the main seat. She had obviously re-groomed herself and her makeup was very delicate.

If Shi Yaoyao hadn't known this long ago, she might have been deceived by her peaceful appearance.
