Chapter 178 Almost Something Happened?
Lin Junxue sipped her tea leisurely, looking at Xie Wuji sitting opposite her.
"Come here, Xiao Cheng, and report to me about the concubines entering the palace in half a month."
Xie Wuji nodded
"Your Majesty, I have heard that the most outstanding girl in this year's show is the granddaughter of the Minister of Rites, Zhang Yuyan."
Lin Junxue nodded calmly
"Among the girls in this year's show, Zhang Yuyan is the most outstanding in both talent and appearance."
Xie Wuji paused
"Empress Dowager, aren't you worried about her entering the palace? Perhaps, we can think of some way to prevent her from entering the palace."
Lin Junxue looked at Xie Wuji who was worried about her and sighed in her heart.
Xie Wuji's character and pattern still need to be cultivated, it is not enough!
Seeing Lin Junxue remaining silent, Xie Wuji swallowed the rest of his words.
"My Queen, did I say something wrong?"
Lin Junxue nodded slightly
"Do you really think that if I stop Zhang Yuyan from entering the palace, I can win the emperor's favor? Wuji, the queen tells you that even if there is no Zhang Yuyan in the harem, there will be a second and a third one. So, it is meaningless to stop this. Let's take a step back. What if your father finds out about this?"
Xie Wuji's heart sank, his face looked regretful.
"Your Majesty, I was too narrow-minded in this matter. You are right in teaching me this."
Lin Junxue stood up, walked to Xie Wuji, stretched out her hand, and patted his head gently.
"Wuji, you have to understand one thing. If the problem is not solved from the root, then no matter how much you do, in the end, it will be useless."
Xie Wuji immediately understood what Lin Junxue meant.
"I understand, thank you for your teachings, Madam Queen."
The Empress Dowager was telling him that instead of fighting with the concubines in the harem, it would be better to hold on to his father's favor.
With the favor of her father, even if there are a hundred Zhang Yuyans, the Empress will still be her father's favorite, and no one can surpass her as the Queen.
Lin Junxue looked at Xie Wuji's expression of sudden enlightenment and curled her lips.
A child can be taught
Such talents are worth taking risks to invest in, waiting for the day when they grow into towering trees.
After Xie Wuji left, Qiao Xin came in holding a bowl of milk soup.
"My Lady, I saw that the Crown Prince looked thoughtful when he was leaving. I guess what you said must have touched his heart."
Lin Junxue sat on the chaise longue and said calmly, "The eldest prince is teachable. He has a good character and intelligence."
As they were talking, Danzhen hurried in with a strange look on her face.
"Your Majesty, something happened to Concubine Lan, please go to Liuguang Pavilion."
Liuguang Pavilion
Li Shiwen sat on the chair, still looking a little frightened.
Chun'er beside him also looked nervous.
It was not until the eunuch's announcement came that Li Shiwen came to his senses and quickly stood up.
Chun Er stepped forward and supported her.
"Your Majesty, don't worry, the Queen is here, don't be afraid, don't be afraid"
Next second
Lin Junxue came in with Qiaoxin and Danzhen, and Li Shiwen stepped forward.
"May the Queen be blessed with good health and happiness"
Lin Junxue looked at Li Shiwen in front of her, who looked unhappy.
"Get up first. I already know what happened. Don't worry."
On the way here, Lin Junxue had already learned what had happened from Danzhen?
It turned out that just now, Li Shiwen was taking a walk in her palace when she was bumped hard by a palace maid who was cleaning her palace.
If Chun'er hadn't been quick-witted, Li Shiwen would have lost the baby in her belly.
There must be someone behind this, otherwise how could a palace maid dare to bump into her master's belly openly? Is she determined to die?
Li Shiwen was still frightened. He looked at Lin Junxue and held her hand tightly, but his hand was still shaking.
Just now, the palace maid hit her with such force that if Chun'er had supported her a little later, the baby in her belly would have been lost.
"My lady, I was really scared just now."
Lin Junxue nodded slightly and comforted Li Shiwen with a few words, asking her to not be so emotional.
"Shiwen, calm down. Don't let this matter affect the baby in your belly. What about the palace maid? Where is she now?"
Li Shiwen shook his head, his face pale
Chun Er stepped forward and said, "Empress, after the maid hit us, she bit the poison in her mouth and died."
A glimmer of understanding flashed across Lin Junxue's eyes.
The person has committed suicide by taking poison, but the person behind it was very cautious and didn't leave any evidence.
Lin Junxue said, "He committed suicide by taking poison. Now there is no evidence. I'm afraid this is the only way to end it."
Li Shiwen also knew that since the person was already dead, nothing could be found out.
Li Shiwen suppressed her emotions and said, "Your Majesty, I know that once the maid died, I couldn't investigate this matter even if I wanted to. There are too many people who want to harm me and don't want my dragon fetus to be born. I have been careful enough and have been hiding in my own palace. Why can't you let me go? How dare you use such a despicable method to plot against the child in my belly?"
Lin Junxue looked at the somewhat excited Li Shiwen
"Shiwen, in this harem, the favored concubines and the pregnant concubines cannot escape these conspiracies and calculations."
Li Shiwen was stunned, then sighed
"But Madam, I don't want to compete for favor, I don't want to scheme, I just want to take care of my child and live a peaceful life. Why is it so difficult?"
Lin Junxue comforted Li Shiwen for an hour, and then asked Xiao Gongzi to report the matter to Taiwu Hall.
There was no evidence that Li Shiwen was deliberately pushed by a palace maid, although the maid committed suicide by taking poison.
But Xie Yu must be informed that someone is going to harm the baby in Li Shiwen's belly.
Lin Junxue asked Li Shiwen to go to Taiwu Hall in person to cry to Xie Yu about the incident and express her fear.
As Li Shiwen cried and complained, Xie Yu became furious and ordered a thorough investigation of the harem.
Of course, the palace maid who hit the man is now dead, and further investigation will not reveal anything.
This move can only make those who are ready to make a move dare not have any more thoughts. For the time being, they dare not act rashly and attack Shenguang Palace.
This is why Lin Junxue asked Li Shiwen to go to Taiwu Hall in person to cry to Xie Yu.
at night
In order to appease Li Shiwen, Xie Yu first went to Liuguang Pavilion and had dinner with her before going to Zhonghe Palace.
"Your Majesty's Blessing"
Xie Yu helped Lin Junxue up and said, "Jun'er, you've worked hard today."
Of course Lin Junxue knew that Xie Yu was talking about Li Shiwen.
She shook her head and said softly, "Your Majesty, I am not tired. But today, Concubine Lan was frightened. Can Your Majesty go and see her?"
Xie Yu nodded, took Lin Junxue's hand, walked to the couch and sat down.
After Danzhen and Guyu served the tea, they stepped aside and waited with Gao Cheng.
Xie Yu said in a deep voice, "I just had dinner with Concubine Lan. She didn't have a good appetite and her face didn't look good. I think she was really frightened."
When Xie Yu thought of Li Shiwen being blatantly plotted against by a palace maid in his own palace, his brows furrowed and his eyes darkened.
Lin Junxue glanced at Xie Yu's face
"Your Majesty, Concubine Lan was so frightened that she almost lost the baby in her belly. She is naturally scared and needs time to recover. Your Majesty, please don't worry."
