She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

Chapter 454 I Don’t Know Whether to Ask

Concubine Lin suddenly felt a pain in her head. She was indeed indecisive about this matter.

"My Lord, when you return home, I will naturally deliver my thoughts to you."

Concubine Lin spoke slowly, suggesting that it would be better to send the person in front of her away for now.

He is an outsider and this is the inner palace. It is inappropriate for him to appear in such a place with his identity. If the emperor hears about it, everything will be over.

"I'll take my leave." Shaoqing immediately stood up and walked outside. Concubine Lin gave a look and the palace maids behind him immediately followed him.

About half a cup of tea later, a palace maid came in from outside, walked to her, knelt down and kowtowed, "Madam, the man has already left the palace, and no one saw him on the road."

Concubine Lin finally breathed a sigh of relief. It was best if no one saw it, otherwise she would not be able to explain it clearly.

"Carry a box of silver and send it to Shaoqing's mansion." She spoke slowly. There were several hundred taels in this box. This money could appease them for a while.

"Hua Ying, how is the imperial concubine doing?" Ye Xuwan rocked on the recliner. This chair was really comfortable to sit on. You could rock it without falling. It had to be said that the craftsmen here were quite smart.

Hua Ying shook her head slightly. There was no other news from Concubine Lin.

How could she be so calm? Ye Xuwan was surprised. According to Concubine Lin's temperament, she should have reported it to the emperor by now, but she remained calm today.

If this matter were to be reported to His Majesty, it would not be as simple as it is now.

"Hua Ying, go to the storehouse and get some things. Let's go see the Imperial Concubine." Ye Xuwan got up from the recliner, sat in front of the mirror with a smile on her face, and adjusted her clothes.

At a time like this, I should go to the Imperial Concubine's house to cause trouble, but I don't know if she will see me.

"Your Highness, if you take so many things every time you go, won't you lose everything?"

Hua Ying felt a little distressed holding the box in her arms. There was a lot of money in it. If she sent such a box to Concubine Lin every time, the warehouse of the Eastern Palace would be emptied sooner or later.

What's more, His Highness sent a box of night-shining pearls a few days ago. Those pearls are very valuable, and even the Eastern Palace doesn't have many of them.

"Hua Ying, you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing a child." Ye Xuwan spoke slowly. She was of course distressed, but Mo Yunzheng could still bring her some rare treasures, so he was the one who should be distressed.

There is no shortage of gold, silver, jewelry and jewels in this palace, which are the most common items.

When the palace maid saw the Crown Princess' carriage approaching, she immediately went in to report.

"Your Highness, the Crown Princess is here."

Concubine Lin was already a little angry, and when she heard the palace maid say that someone had come again, anger immediately appeared on her face.

"No! Just say that I'm tired and have already rested."

The palace maid immediately went out to reply, and Ye Xuwan seemed to have expected such an outcome.

She went outside and stood looking toward the house.

"Since the royal concubine is tired, I will wait here for a while." She spoke very loudly, deliberately letting the people in the room hear.

I guess Concubine Lin doesn't want to see me at all at this moment, she is just avoiding me.

However, in order to verify the rumors outside, Ye Xuwan already had a plan in mind.

She just stood outside the door until the people inside couldn't wait any longer and invited her in.

"If Your Majesty feels tired, I can wait for you outside." Ye Xuwan walked in and bowed to the person on the couch. She must have felt unhappy behind the screen.

Concubine Lin's tone became heavier and then she spoke: "You don't have to come to pay your respects every day." She never came to pay her respects before, but she has been coming more frequently these days, coming every day and even having someone send a box of things to her afterwards. She is really attentive.

Considering the rumors outside, Concubine Lin didn't want to see her, but who knew that she would refuse to leave.

The weather outside was getting hot. If she got a heat stroke in her own palace, she wouldn't be able to explain it even if she had a mouth. "All of you go out."

As soon as Concubine Lin spoke, the palace maids in the room immediately put down what they were holding and left.

Then she made an uncomfortably sound and looked at the person behind Ye Xuwan.

"You go out too."

Hua Ying was slightly stunned, then looked at Ye Xuwan's expression before leaving.

The relationship between Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine and Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess is now as hostile as fire and water. If they were allowed to stay in a room alone, something might happen.

There were only two of them left in the room. Concubine Lin pulled up the curtain in front of the bed, stood up, walked around the screen and came to her.

"Your Highness should also put on some clothes to avoid catching a cold."

Ye Xuwan smiled and spoke. She knew that the person in front of her could not sit still, but she was not afraid because she had no way to deal with herself.

There are too many things in the palace that are restricted by status, and if she dares to touch me now, she will not be able to escape the consequences.

"Ye Xuwan, what are you going to do? Do you think that by tying me up with you, you can get away from this?"

Sure enough, she lost her patience.

Ye Xuwan smiled faintly. This method was told to her by Mo Yunzheng. She didn't expect it to be so useful.

As long as you don't care about your face, you will be invincible in this harem.

"Your Majesty, I don't want to do this. I just want to be more filial." Ye Xuwan spoke slowly. She didn't think the same way as Noble Concubine Lin.

Concubine Lin should have known what she was thinking a long time ago, but she reacted too slowly and it was too late.

"Your Highness, I have a question, but I don't know if I should ask it."

Concubine Lin frowned, she wished she could tear the face of the person in front of her to pieces, but she knew she couldn't do that.

She is Ye Xuwan, the Crown Princess, and the owner of half of the Eastern Palace.

"explain."

Concubine Lin's tone revealed a lot of helplessness. She really had no way to deal with the person in front of her.

The only way for her to act is to find the real murderer and give him justice, so as to clear herself of the suspicion.

"My Lady, did you kill that person?"

The atmosphere in the room dropped to freezing point, and the two looked at each other in silence.

It was Concubine Lin who laughed first. It turned out that the person she had been suspicious of was herself.

"Ye Xuwan, you are so smart, but you still have times when you guess the wrong person? Why do you think I went to so much trouble to get someone into the East Palace?"

Concubine Lin spoke helplessly. Her plan was in vain and she ended up getting into trouble.

Ever since this woman appeared beside Mo Yunzheng, she has been losing. She can't beat him in any aspect.

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for clearing up my doubts." Ye Xuwan said with a smile.

She also always felt that it was not Concubine Lin, but she really couldn't find anyone to suspect.

Could it be that Ye Qingwan was the one who murdered? Did she ask the assassin to pin the crime on her?
"Your Highness, I didn't hire anyone to kill anyone. Please help me find the murderer."
