Allure Ugly Concubine

Chapter 97 What I Want Is Freedom
After lunch, Lin Zijiang enjoyed his first nap since coming to the palace.

Because she was too tired these days, she slept for a full two hours, and it was already evening when she woke up.

Originally, Lin Zijiang still didn't want to wake up, but when she suddenly remembered that she had to face Aunt Qin, she immediately lost sleepiness.

"Oops, how could I forget about this!"

With that said, Lin Zijiang got up in a hurry, dressed as quickly as possible, and hurried towards the direction where Qin Qiushuang lived.

As soon as he walked into the courtyard where Aunt Qin lived, Lin Zijiang's eyes were all attracted by the vegetable garden beside him.Looking at the cabbage that I used to stay up late to take care of is now growing lush and green, I feel a sense of accomplishment spontaneously.But when he thought of the bones of so many people buried in this cabbage field, Lin Zijiang couldn't help but shudder again.

"These cabbages are already ripe. If the princess likes them, she can pick some and eat them." At some point, Qin Qiushuang had appeared behind Lin Zijiang.

Hearing Aunt Qin's voice coming from behind, Lin Zijiang's heart trembled.However, she still turned around calmly on the surface.

"No, I don't like cabbage very much." Lin Zijiang replied politely.She doesn't want to eat human cabbage!
Qin Qiushuang glanced at her meaningfully, then went straight to the point and said, "Three days are up, is the princess going to give the servant an answer now?"

"Eh..." Lin Zijiang took a deep breath and said, "Before that, I want to ask you a question, auntie."

"Princess, please tell me." Qin Qiushuang raised his right hand.

"Since the concubine and the prince are mother and son, shouldn't they stand on the same side? Why should I choose one of them?" Lin Zijiang said.This question has always baffled her. Chu Yue seemed to avoid it on purpose last night. Even if she came to Aunt Qin, she would definitely not give her an answer.But she is asking this question now, not for the answer, but just to ask the question.If she said that she chose the concubine without asking, she would definitely be suspected, because after all, this question should be a problem too much.

Hearing this, Qin Qiushuang's complexion changed slightly, and he asked, "What? Do you know that the person behind me is the Empress Dowager?"

"I didn't know it at first. But when I visited the empress dowager in the palace yesterday, she reminded me on purpose, so I guessed it." Lin Zijiang said.

"Yes." Qin Qiushuang nodded and said, "It's good to know, anyway, you will know sooner or later. The empress dowager took the initiative to remind you, which means that you are very important."

After a slight pause, Aunt Qin continued: "However, you'd better not ask about some things you shouldn't know. Although the concubine and the prince are close relatives, there are times when they have different positions. What you have to do , just choose a master to follow. However, I can remind you that there is only one correct choice, and the concubine can make the prince become a prince, and she can also make him not a prince..."

Hearing this, Lin Zijiang was even more puzzled.What does it mean to make Chu Yue a prince and also make him not a prince?Does it mean that they hold the antidote to Chu Yue's poison?
"Thank you, Aunt Qin, for your reminder. You helped me prove that my choice is indeed correct." Lin Zijiang squatted down halfway, and said, "From today on, Zijiang will definitely follow the lead of the concubine."

"What is this for? You are now the concubine of our palace. Such a big gift, a servant can't bear it alone." Qin Qiushuang made a gesture to help her up.

"Where is the girl? Jiang'er knows that if it is not for the grace of the concubine, I will not be considered a princess. So I have decided to obey the orders of the concubine from now on. And aunt, you are an old man beside the concubine. It's her right-hand man again, so it's only natural for Zijiang to salute you as a new subordinate." Lin Zijiang complimented her.

Hearing this, Qin Qiushuang nodded triumphantly.But he still said: "The concubine can make such a wise decision, and the slave is also happy for the concubine. But since you follow the empress, then we are all her subordinates, and there is no need to come first. And your current status is Wangfei, if others see you saluting to me, it may cause suspicion, so Wangfei better get up quickly."

"Yes." Lin Zijiang stood up.

"However, I have a question. Since you are already a concubine, as long as you cling to the prince, you will have power and wealth. Why do you want to cling to the concubine at a distance?" Qin Qiushuang asked a little worried.

"Power and wealth are not what I want." Lin Zijiang looked into Aunt Qin's eyes and said, "Since Auntie intends to win me over, she must already know what I want."

Qin Qiushuang raised the corners of her mouth when she heard the words, and said with a mysterious smile: "Indeed. Since you entered the palace, I have been observing you. I still remember that when you first came, you didn't want to get close to the prince, but thought about it. Escape from the palace. What you want is freedom, right?"

"Yes." Lin Zijiang replied affirmatively.

Qin Qiushuang took a few steps forward, turned his back to Lin Zijiang, and said, "You and the prince are married by the emperor, and the purpose of the marriage is to make the prince resist the order. The prince is very clear about this. Now his relationship with the emperor You are walking on thin ice, so he would rather let you be the princess than disobey the order. Moreover, from the time you entered the palace to yesterday's birthday banquet, your value to the prince has become greater and greater. The prince is a smart person, so he will not Give up on you, as long as he is here, you will always be Princess Yue, and you will always be his pawn, without freedom."

"Yes! So I clearly know that following the concubine is the right choice." Lin Zijiang said firmly, but her eyes flickered.Although she was just acting on occasion, she had to admit that what Aunt Qin said made sense.Although Chu Yue had promised that she would let herself go after three years, time has changed and the things she has done for Chu Yue have become more and more important, as smart as him, how could she let herself go so easily?Then, is it right for me to choose to help Chu Yue?
Lin Zijiang was caught in a tangle, seeing Aunt Qin suddenly turned around, she quickly regained her composure.

"Don't worry, as long as you help the concubine do things well, the concubine will help you achieve what you want," Qin Qiushuang said.

"Yes. Jiang Er remembered." Lin Zijiang replied respectfully.She is not sure whether Chu Yue will fulfill his promise, but what is certain is that the words of the concubine and Aunt Qin are absolutely unreliable!

"By the way." Qin Qiushuang's eyes flashed suddenly, "I heard that the prince is going to stay in your other courtyard tonight? This is a good opportunity. You must seize it." Aunt Qin said.

"Uh... yes."

"Looking at you, you seem very reluctant?" Qin Qiushuang asked.

"No...no, I just think the task...is difficult." Lin Zijiang replied.

"Don't hide it, I know you're a little bit reluctant, and I know what you're worried about." Aunt Qin took out a pill from her bosom and handed it to Lin Zijiang, "Come on, take this."

Lin Zijiang took the pill and sniffed it close to her nose. Immediately, a strong medicinal smell poured into her nose, which made her frown.

"What is this?" Lin Zijiang asked.

"This is an anti-birth pill. As long as you take this pill after having intercourse with the prince, you don't have to worry about getting pregnant, so you can also work for the concubine without any scruples."

"Auntie, you... are really thoughtful." Lin Zijiang said with a smile, trying his best to hide his inner displeasure.In fact, she knew in her heart that Aunt Qin was afraid that she would become pregnant. She was actually afraid that she would be shaken if she was related to Chu Yue by blood. She really was an old fox.

"Okay, don't stay here with me all the time. Go back and get ready. Next time something happens, I'll let you know."

"Yes, then I'll go first."
