After the New Year, when the Lantern Festival was approaching, Lin Jingmo's injury was almost healed. Unlike other maids, she had no intention of working and was always thinking of ways to go to the residence of Qi Xuanyi and Chen Minran. Although she already knows what Qi Xuanyi's purpose is, she has never been able to figure out one thing. There is no army in Chenzhou, and there are only a thousand soldiers in Prince Zhao's palace. It is not easy to be the emperor. Who else is behind him? After Lin Jingmo could get out of bed, the most common thing she did was to walk around the palace. Although she was just a maid, she always used Madam Qing's name to snoop around because she had Madam Qing's support behind her. p>
The place she went to most often was the Fragrant Garden. Looking from the outside in, the yard was not too big. She had never understood why the princess was willing to live in a place dedicated to growing flowers and plants. Is it just because Mrs. Qing was fond of flowers and plants?
Allergic?
On this day, Lin Jingmo came to the gate of Fragrant Garden again. She stood looking at the two stone pillars at the gate for a long time, until someone opened the gate. The maids and mothers came in and out every day, and no one cared about hiding behind them.
Lin Jingmo in the corner waited until noon. People inside stopped coming in and out frequently. They must have been taking a nap.
Lin Jingmo sat bored on the stone steps opposite the door, hesitating whether to try to go in. But Chen Minran knew him, so what should he do if he went in rashly and met her?
At this moment, the sound of crying babies in the hospital broke the afternoon tranquility.
Lin Jingmo ran towards the door of Fragrant Garden, first looked outside the door and looked inside. After waiting for a while, he still kept crying.
Lin Jingmo felt a little uneasy: Isn't the child in this yard the son of Mrs. Qing? How come he cries like this and no one cares about him?
She couldn't help but raised her feet and was about to go in to find out. After thinking about it, she backed out: Prince Zhao, not to mention the wet nurses around him, there should be five or six, even the mother and maid next to the princess.
There are more than ten people there, how could no one take care of it? Could it be that they are deliberately luring people in?
But hearing the child's crying sound getting louder and louder, Lin Jingmo couldn't help but walk in.
What she didn't expect was that the garden was really fragrant, with all kinds of exotic flowers and plants, and fragrance from all seasons. It was completely opposite to the deadness in winter. Everything in the fragrant garden was full of life, but there was no one in the garden.<
/p>
Lin Jingmo didn't think much and followed the sound and pushed open the wooden door of the main room. Sure enough, she saw the young prince lying in the cradle crying non-stop. She walked quickly to the prince's side and was about to find out what was going on. Chen Minran suddenly walked out of the door.
Outside walked in.
"I heard that there is a new maid in Qingzhu Courtyard who is good at being a prostitute. I think it's you, right?" Chen Minran walked to Lin Jingmo's side, stretched out her hand to shake the prince's cradle, waved her hands, and the wet nurses left.
Came in and took away the young prince.
Lin Jingmo watched them take the prince away. Chen Minran saw this and sat on a chair. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip, saying: "Jingmo, we have been learning female needlework together since we were young. How can I not recognize your needlework?"
Come out?"
Only then did Lin Jingmo realize that Chen Minran had known it was her for a long time. She raised her head and looked at Sister Chen, whom she had grown up with since childhood, and asked: "You knew it was me and you framed me for hiding a needle in my clothes?
”
Chen Minran put down the tea cup and smiled slightly: "How could it be? We grew up together. For Kong Qing's sake, I won't harm you! If I wanted to harm you, how could you survive to this day?
Today? Even if I am not favored, I am still the legitimate princess in Prince Zhao's palace!"
Lin Jingmo naturally didn't believe her in her heart. Chen Minran had been lying since she was a child. Apart from the Lin sisters, she had no friends at all. She was a kind-hearted person with inconsistent words and deeds.
But thinking that if he could stay by Chen Minran's side, he might be able to find some evidence, so Lin Jingmo said: "Sister Chen, we have known each other since childhood, and I naturally believe you. However, the prince is still young, so you really shouldn't take advantage of her.
His safety is used as a means for you to fight for favor."
"Fighting for favor?" Chen Minran smiled and said: "What are you talking about, Jingmo? Why do you think I will do such boring things as fighting for favor? I am already a princess, and my son is still the heir! Do I need to fight for something? Fight for
A man's love? It's ridiculous. What are you doing with such useless things? I just really found needles in the clothes. My child was not injured. I searched for it when I was dressing him.
It’s a fact that there are needles inside.”
Lin Jingmo was a little confused when she heard this, but she never believed Chen Minran.
Chen Minran raised her hands and tilted her head on the table, and continued: "Jingmo, I know everything that happened to the Lin family in Beijing. Uncle Lin is dead, Kong Qing and her children are also dead. I thought that after so many things, you should
Now that I have grown up, I didn’t expect that you are still so innocent. You are such a silly girl. I really don’t understand why daddy has to kill you..."
The implication is that Chen Minran did not want to kill her.
Lin Jingmo looked at Chen Minran in surprise: She knew everything, she knew everything. So there must be letters between their father and daughter...
Unexpectedly, Chen Minran saw through her thoughts as if he could read her mind, and said one step ahead of her: "Dad and I have always exchanged letters, how could I not know about these things? They are just family letters, our Chen family
We were family friends with the Lin family before, but as the two adults became more and more powerful, the relationship between the two families became weaker and weaker. Isn't it surprising that dad mentioned this in his letter home?" p>
Hearing this, Lin Jingmo said calmly: "In that case... I really appreciate the princess's concern for our Lin family."
Chen Minran smiled slightly and said lightly: "You must hate my father very much, right? But my father is not the murderer of Uncle Lin, let alone the murderer of Kong Qing, isn't he?" She paused, sat up and walked over.
Next to Lin Jingmo, he whispered: "My father did not want to kill your family. The real culprit was never our Chen family."
Lin Jingmo tried her best to control her emotions, because she understood that only by gaining Chen Minran's trust could she stay by her side, find evidence of their collusion, and find out the truth about the tragic death of her father and sister!
She raised her head and tried her best to smile, and said: "Then who does Sister Chen think killed my sister and my father?"
Chen Minran looked at Lin Jingmo with an innocent face, covered her mouth with her long sleeves in surprise, and said: "How could I, a harem woman, know this? Even His Majesty didn't find the murderer, and I don't have three heads and six arms.
