"Your Majesty, I've taken the trouble. I don't know much about this matter. I'm afraid I have to go back and report it to Imperial Concubine Yi before I can make a decision. As for the princess's marriage, this is beyond my control. Please forgive me."
Ruan Ming's words did not scare Concubine Lin away.
Instead, she added another sentence.
"I estimate that my body may not be able to survive this winter. Therefore, if Concubine Yi really has this wish, it is better to decide as soon as possible. Otherwise, after I give up the position of the noble concubine, I still don’t know who it is.
To be able to sit in this position, after all, some concubines are very favored by the emperor!"
In one sentence, although it is not stated clearly, the meaning is already very clear.
Ruan Ming knew it well.
So he nodded and said.
"I will definitely bring this message to you, please be patient and calm."
There was no affirmative answer throughout the whole process, and it wasn't until Ruan Naruto left that Concubine Lin softened.
Lean on that throne.
Reluctantly, she touched the carved red sandalwood throne that symbolized the power of the imperial concubine, and shed two lines of clear tears.
Looking back on all these years, I feel that all my hard work has been in vain.
And the worst decision she made was agreeing to send Lin Wanyi to the palace.
It made me end up like this.
But there is no regret in taking medicine.
Since there was no way to regret it, even if she died, she would still create some trouble for Lin Wanyi.
Fortunately, watching her suffer underground was so relaxing.
But she didn't know that the news in this palace could not be hidden.
After she finished talking to Ruan Ming about the matter, the news was sent to the emperor by Geng Caiyou from the School Department.
Concubine Lin may have forgotten that the emperor is the final master of the palace.
Therefore, when the emperor learned that Concubine Lin and Concubine Yi planned to join forces to bring the Zeng family into the third prince's camp, he felt a little bit sullen.
In the final analysis, the princes' struggle for power and profit is still subtle.
If their mother's family hadn't been instilling these ideas in them, how could they have caused the brothers to fight against each other and the royal family to be at war with each other.
Therefore, the emperor would not allow his sons to embark on this path.
So, he gave Dong Yuzhong a wink.
"Go and make arrangements, there's no use keeping her here."
Dong Yuzhong quickly understood what the emperor meant.
He nodded "Yes," and then hurried down to make arrangements.
Concubine Lin probably didn't expect that her words would become a poison that sent her away.
Before Concubine Yi could even wait for her answer, she had already fallen asleep in the palace.
The bowl of medicine that Concubine Lin drank that day was more bitter than before.
But she drank too much bitter medicine these days, so she didn't notice any difference.
So after drinking it, he fell asleep.
Unexpectedly, after falling asleep, I never got up again.
On April 16, the 19th year of Yuanhe, Concubine Lin, who had been ill for half a year, passed away suddenly.
He died at the age of twenty-seven.
In the Linzhi Palace, the eldest maids Qinliu, Qinhe, Qinqinzhu, Qinrong, as well as the chief eunuch Jiang Heqing, took poison and died for their master.
Such a big event caused a lot of rumors outside.
It is said that Concubine Lin was very resentful and wanted to take away those close to her.
So I can serve her underground!
However, this rumor was suppressed by Dong Yuzhong before it spread very far.
As for those servants and maids who gossiped behind my back, they are all doing hard labor in Yeyouting at the moment.
For a time, no one dared to talk nonsense anymore.
The Inner Chamber's hands and feet were very fast, and the news of Concubine Lin's death came out not long ago.
Everything was arranged in order.
The manager, Quan Fu, couldn't help but sigh when he looked at the once glorious Linzhi Palace.
The wind in this palace is always blowing strangely.
Sometimes the east wind prevails over the west wind, and sometimes the west wind overpowers the east wind.
What they can do is to see in advance where the wind is going to blow, and then move around.
Either avoid the limelight or ride the wind.
These are all things he will have to think about soon.
When the news of Concubine Lin's death was sent to Yihua Palace, Lin Wanyi was sewing sachets for the children for the Dragon Boat Festival.
When he heard this, the needlework in his hand paused.
Then he looked up at Xia An, with some disbelief in his eyes.
"Really dead?"
"Going back to your Majesty, Concubine Lin has indeed passed away. The news was sent by Eunuch Qin, and the Inner Court Department has already rushed to arrange a spiritual ceremony for her."
To say it this way, it is obviously dead.
Otherwise, there would be no such thing as a spiritual ritual.
But when she suddenly heard the news, Lin Wanyi couldn't describe her emotions.
Just like when I first found out that Princess Rongkang and her second wife, mother and son, were gone, I wasn't happy, but felt an indescribable complexity.
When it comes to hate, Lin Wanyi really hates her.
Especially when his younger brother was injured and almost died, he wanted to set a fire and burn those who had harmed him.
But now, after they are all really dead, the resentment in her heart seems to have dissipated.
When a person dies, the light goes out.
They have enjoyed glory, wealth, and suffering in this life.
Probably even they themselves never thought that this would be the end result.
Those past loves, hates, grievances and grievances seem to become unworthy of mentioning in the face of life and death.
When will the injustice be repaid? Even if Lin Wan wanted to pursue the case, there seemed to be no one left to pursue him.
We can't go to our hometown and kill Prime Minister Lin and Second Master Lin's family as well.
So, she stopped sewing.
After a moment of silence, Lin Wanyi said.
"Let everyone in our palace keep their mouths shut and don't go outside to inquire. Concubine Yi will naturally take charge of the funeral ceremony in Linzhi Palace. Let's send a condolence gift then. The grudges we have with them,
That's the end of it. I'm not too happy that she died, but I can't pretend to be sad. When His Majesty sends the news, we'll just go for a trip. As for the rest, that's it."
After listening to Lin Wanyi's instructions, Xia An nodded and said immediately.
"Well, I know this, so I'll make arrangements now."
There are rules for mourning gifts between concubines. How to send them in Yifei Palace, and how to send them in Yihua Palace according to the general rules.
It's not a difficult thing.
On the other hand, it is more difficult to restrain a servant's mouth.
But with Qiu Ming here, it would be easy to leave this matter to him.
So, Concubine Lin died, and it was the Yihua Palace that was under martial law.
Fortunately, the people inside were carefully selected by Qin An and polished by Qiu Ming, so there were no mistakes.
I just heard that after Princess Mingruo learned the news, she cried and fainted in the Queen Mother's Palace.
When Lin Wanyi heard this, she didn't say a word more.
She has a kind heart, but that doesn't mean she is truly a Bodhisattva.
I said before that I would not take care of Mingruo, and it is the same today.
