Lin Zhaozhao stood up and looked outside to make sure no one was watching.
Quickly send away the people outside and close the door tightly.
"What's going on? Why does my mother have to go there in person?
What will happen if someone finds out?"
His tone was not as gentle as before, and looking at Xiao Ning'an's expression, he felt a little impatient.
Xiao Ning'an knew this was for her, so she couldn't help but tighten the veil.
He squeezed out a smile, trying to lighten the mood.
"Zhaozhao, I really can't leave the palace.
I was afraid that you would be anxious while waiting, so I asked someone to send a letter to Madam.
If you want this thing, can you just send it to the palace?"
If she hadn't really had no other choice, she wouldn't have made such a move.
Zhou Yixiu felt something was wrong when she saw Lin Zhaozhao treating Xiao Ning'an like this.
He quickly stepped forward and took Lin Zhaozhao's hand.
"Zhaozhao, the princess is also doing it for your own good.
Without her, you would have had many difficulties in this harem.
Besides, it was mother who wanted to see you, so..."
"Nonsense..." Lin Zhaozhao pushed Zhou Yixiu away and frowned.
"It took a lot of effort for me to gain a foothold in the harem, and now I am quite favored by the emperor.
There are a lot of eyes in the harem staring at me. If you are like this, I will be misunderstood.
Just the slightest mistake and I will be killed by you.
Okay, give me the things and leave quickly..."
Lin Zhaozhao reached out to Zhou Yixiu, although Zhou Yixiu felt that Lin Zhaozhao's attitude now was completely different from before.
But I think it was because I was teased a lot in the harem, so that’s why I was like this.
Instead of being angry, I felt quite guilty.
She took out the medicine and handed it to Lin Zhaozhao.
"Zhaozhao, then mother is leaving first..."
Before he finished speaking, he heard a bang from outside.
The door was knocked open and several eunuchs rushed forward.
Behind her came Xu Yingying.
Lin Zhaozhao was shocked and instinctively stuffed the medicine under Xiao Ning'an's skirt.
Xiao Ning'an was stunned and didn't react at all.
Xu Yingying walked in slowly and couldn't help but chuckle when she saw the expressions of several people.
"Hey, what day is it today?
Is it so lively in the cold palace? Princess Changping didn't say anything about it.
Why is the wife of the Zhenyuan Marquis Mansion also here?
You came to visit Meiren Lin? Have you been summoned?"
Zhou Yixiu's face turned pale and she could barely maintain her dignity.
"I have seen Concubine Xian. She is a thousand years old.
I haven't seen Miss Lin for a long time, and I feel really worried about her.
Today, I begged the princess for a long time before I asked her to let go.
He agreed to take me to see Lin Meiren secretly, but I knew it was unreasonable.
I will go to the Emperor with the Marquis to apologize, and I hope the Emperor can understand our love for our daughter."
No matter how bad Zhou Yixiu is, she is still the only wife of Zhenyuanhou Mansion. Without the title of Zhenyuanhou, she can still earn some face in front of the emperor.
If he just went to the palace to visit Lin Zhaozhao, this would be such a crime.
Naturally, there was no need for Xu Yingying to make a big trip, so she curled her lips coldly.
He looked around the three of them with his eyes and slowly sat down.
"The emperor is concerned about government affairs and has not yet established a queen in the harem.
It's just that I haven't taken care of all the affairs yet. Originally, I didn't want to make this trip.
But I heard that the drug used to kill the emperor's dragon body appeared here in Lin Meiren's house.
I was really worried, so I had to come here.
In order to prove Lin Meiren's innocence, I want to search here today.
If I misunderstand Miss Lin because of this, I will go to the Emperor to apologize."
As she spoke, Xu Yingying nodded towards the eunuchs and nuns.
Several people immediately rolled up their sleeves and stepped forward and began to search everywhere.
After rummaging around, they didn't find what they were looking for.
"Mother, everything is clean.
No traces of banned drugs were found..."
Lin Zhaozhao was about to breathe a sigh of relief when he heard this.
"Since I haven't found it, please ask the empress to be able to do what she says.
Later, remember to go to the emperor to apologize.
Although my status as a concubine is not as high as that of the empress, I cannot tolerate such slander."
Since Xu Yingying dared to make this trip, she was naturally confident.
She looked around and caught a glimpse of Xiao Ning'an, who had been standing there without moving since she came in.
"What's wrong with Princess Changping? When you meet me, you can't even greet me at the most basic level?"
Xiao Ning'an was afraid that if she moved, Xu Yingying would discover the medicine under her skirt.
He could only look at Xu Yingying stiffly and nodded slightly.
"Concubine Xian Jin An..."
Xu Yingying raised her eyebrows slightly when she heard this.
He winked at the nanny beside him.
"Changping, I am serving the Emperor Duo Nian in the palace.
I understand your temperament and know that you are simple-minded and can easily be instigated to do bad things..."
Before she finished speaking, grandma had already grabbed Xiao Ning'an's hand and pulled her away.
The packet of medicine under her skirt was completely exposed.
"Ah..." Xiao Ning'an screamed, her face as pale as paper.
Grandma picked up the medicine and handed it to the imperial doctor who was waiting outside.
The imperial doctor only took it, smelled it, quickly wrapped the medicine and threw it into the bucket.
"Your Majesty, the effect of this medicine is very overbearing.
It's not something you see in the palace, it's something common in folk fireworks and willow alleys.
If it is contaminated even a little bit, it will make people forget their consciousness.
I have completely become a puppet of this medicine. If I use it too much, I might damage the emperor’s foundation.”
Xu Yingying nodded, indicating that she understood.
"The imperial physician must present this evidence to the emperor.
Let the emperor take a closer look at how Lin Meiren's favor is obtained."
After hearing this, Lin Zhaozhao still didn't understand anything.
Xu Yingying came here well prepared, otherwise it would not have been such a coincidence.
Now that there are witnesses and physical evidence, if the emperor knows about this.
She will be executed for sure, she doesn't want to die.
It's all the fault of the stupid Xiao Ning'an, if she hadn't been smart enough to write a letter inviting her mother to enter the palace.
He would not be caught by Xu Yingying, Lin Zhaozhao gritted his teeth.
Suddenly, I heard a eunuch singing and shouting outside: "The emperor has arrived..."
Now not only Lin Zhaozhao, but also Zhou Yixiu's legs became weak.
He knelt down slumped on the ground, knowing that he might not be able to escape today.
Xiao Xiguang strode into the door and frowned as he saw the situation in the room at a glance.
Looking at Xu Yingying sitting beside her, she stepped forward and asked.
"Concubine Xian, why are you here with Meiren Lin?
And why are Madam Houfu and Ning An both here?
What happened?"
I don't know if it was a habit of breaking time, but he came to Lin Zhaozhao as soon as possible after going to court.
Who would have thought that when he came, he would actually see this battle.
Xu Yingying did not expect Xiao Xiguang to come suddenly, but she quickly recovered.
He motioned for the imperial doctor outside to come in and said what he just said exactly.
Xiao Xiguang's face darkened little by little as he listened.
After Xu Yingying finished speaking, she deliberately sighed.
"Your Majesty, if I, my concubine, have been too busy these days to take care of me.
I didn't know that Lin Meiren was so brave.
I think she grew up in the countryside and doesn't understand the rules of the palace.
When he entered the palace, he specially allowed his grandma to go to the Marquis Mansion for a few days to learn.
Therefore, it is impossible that she does not know the rules in the palace.
Do not use such means to compete for divine favor.
But she still used such methods, clearly wanting to murder the emperor..."
