The imperial concubine favors the crown of the harem

"Your Majesty is bothering you. I don't know much about this matter. I'm afraid I have to go back and report to Concubine Yi to make a decision. As for the princess's marriage, this slave is out of my control. Please forgive me."

Ruan Ming's words did not scare Concubine Lin Gui back.

Instead, she added.

"Bengong's body may not be able to survive this winter. Therefore, if Concubine Yi really wants to, she should make a decision as soon as possible. Otherwise, I don't know who it is after I give up the position of concubine." Can sit in this position, after all some concubines are very favored by the emperor!"

In a word, although it is not stated explicitly, the meaning is already very clear.

Ruan Ming knew it well.

So he nodded and said.

"The slave will definitely bring this word to you, and I ask the imperial concubine to be at ease."

There was no affirmative answer throughout the whole process, until Ruan Mingren left, Concubine Lin Guifei softened her body.

Lean on that throne.

Reluctantly touching the carved red sandalwood throne that symbolizes the power of a noble concubine, she shed two lines of tears.

Looking back on so many years, my painstaking efforts were in vain.

And the worst decision she made was to agree to send Lin Wanyi to the palace.

It caused me to end up like this.

But there is no one in the world who regrets taking medicine.

Since there is no way to regret it, then even if she dies, she will cause some disasters for Lin Wanyi.

Fortunately, watching her suffer underground can be comfortable and carefree.

It's just that she doesn't know that the news in the palace cannot be hidden.

She had just finished talking to Ruan Ming about the matter, and then the news was sent to the emperor by Geng Caiyou, the school secretary.

Concubine Lin probably forgot that the emperor is the last master of the palace.

Therefore, when the emperor found out that Concubine Lin Guifei and Concubine Yi planned to join forces to bring the Zeng family into the camp of the third prince, he felt a little sullen.

After all, the prince's fight for power and profit is still subtle.

If it wasn't for their mother's family who kept instilling these ideas in them, how could there be troubles between brothers and the royal family.

Therefore, the emperor would not allow his sons to follow this path.

So, he gave Dong Yuzhong a wink.

"Let's arrange it. It's useless to keep her."

Dong Yuzhong quickly understood what the emperor meant.

He nodded and said "yes," and then hurried down to make arrangements.

Concubine Lin Gui probably didn't expect that her words became a poison to send her away.

Even before Yifei's answer, he had already fallen into a long sleep in the palace.

The bowl of medicine Lin Guifei drank that day was bitterer 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, she never got up again.

On April 19th in the [-]th year of Yuanhe, Concubine Lin Gui, who had been ill for half a year, died suddenly.

He was 27 years old.

In Linzhi Palace, the grand maids Qinliu, Qinhe, Qinqinzhu, Qinrong, and the chief eunuch Jiang Heqing all took poison and died for their master.

Such a big event has caused rumors outside.

It is said that Lin Guifei has a lot of resentment, so she wants to take away those close to her.

So go underground and serve her too!

It's just that Dong Yuzhong suppressed the rumor before it spread too much.

As for those servants and maids who gossip behind their backs, they are all doing hard labor in Yeyou Court at the moment.

For a while, no one dared to speak nonsense.

The Secretary of the Inner Court acted very quickly, and the news of Concubine Lin Guifei's death didn't take long.

Everything is arranged in an orderly manner.

The manager Quan Fu couldn't help sighing when he looked at the once glorious Linzhi Palace.

The wind in this palace always blows strangely.

Sometimes the east wind overwhelms the west wind, and sometimes the west wind overwhelms the east wind.

What they can do is to see in advance where the wind is going to blow, so that they can move their bodies.

Either avoid the limelight, or ride the wind.

These are things that he will soon think about.

When the news of Lin Guifei's death was sent to Yihua Palace, Lin Wanyi was sewing sachets for the children for the Dragon Boat Festival.

When he heard it, the needle and thread in his hand paused.

Then he looked up at Xia An, with some disbelief in his eyes.

"Really dead?"

"Go back to your mother, Concubine Lin Gui has indeed passed away. Eunuch Qin sent someone to send the news, and the Inner Court Secretary has already rushed to set up a coffin for her."

Such words, of course, are dead through.

Otherwise, there would be no talk of a spirit ritual.

But when she suddenly heard the news, Lin Wanyi couldn't tell what emotion she was in.

Just like when I found out that Princess Rongkang and the second wife's mother and child were gone, it wasn't more joy, but an indescribable complexity.

If you say hate, Lin Wanyi really hates it.

Especially when his younger brother was injured and almost died, he wished to set a fire and burn those who harmed him to death.

But now, when they are really dead, the resentment in her heart seems to dissipate.

People die and the lights go out.

They have enjoyed the glory and wealth in this life, and they have also suffered pain and torture.

Probably even they themselves didn't think about it, and it would end up like this in the end.

Those past love and hatred, kindness and resentment seem to be worthless in the face of life and death.

When is the time for retribution, even if Lin Wan wants to pursue it, there seems to be no one to pursue it.

You can't go to your hometown, and kill Lin Xiangye and Lin Erye's family.

So, she stopped her needlework.

After a moment of silence, Lin Wanyi spoke.

"Let everyone in the palace keep their mouths shut and don't go outside to inquire about it. The funeral ceremony in Linzhi Palace will naturally be decided by Concubine Yi. We will send a mourning gift when the time comes. The grievances with them, Let's end here, I'm not very happy about her death, but I can't pretend to be sad, when His Majesty sends a message, let's go for a walk, as for the rest, let's just leave it at that."

Listening to Lin Wanyi's instructions, Xia An nodded and said immediately.

"Well, the servant knows, let's arrange it now."

There are rules for mourning between concubines and concubines, how to send it in Yifei Palace, and Yihua Palace generally give a copy.

It's not difficult.

It is more difficult to restrain the mouth of a servant.

It's just that with Qiu Ming here, it's easy to leave this matter to him.

Thus, Concubine Lin Gui died, but Yihua Palace was under martial law.

Fortunately, the people inside were carefully selected by Qin An, and carefully tempered by Qiu Ming, so there were no mistakes.

I just heard that Princess Ming Ruo passed out from crying in the Empress Dowager's Palace after hearing the news.

When Lin Wanyi heard the words, she didn't say a word.

She has a kind heart, but it doesn't mean she is really a Bodhisattva.

I said before that I don't know Guan Mingruo, so it's the same today.
