Chapter 155 Sachet
Lan Xin saw that she heard this and breathed a sigh of relief: "One person does things and one person does it. Since you have caught me, I have no regrets, whether I am punished or scolded."
"But I heard that the sachets you made at that time were not only for me. Did I harm your good sister with others?"
"This...this is not." Lan Xin shook her head.
"Then why does the Queen's sachet have the same spice."
"My sister doesn't know. If she wants to take revenge, she will be respectful at any time. Today... I will say goodbye first." Lan Xin couldn't resist Su Hao's aggressive offensive and got up and was about to leave, but was blocked by Su Hao, who was expecting her to give the answer in person.
Just kidding, there is only one last sentence left! How can you just leave like this?!
"I mean, who the hell did you make this sachet?"
"It's really just my sister's idea."
"Don't think I don't know anything." Su Hao didn't have much patience. After all, this was what the emperor ordered! And in this way, no one would doubt the emperor. As long as he insisted on Lan Xin in the end, Lan Xin would die again
"I just want my Qianru... to grow up healthy and safely."
"If you don't say it, how can she grow up safely? Are you willing to have a timid mother? What should you do if you ask Qianru? If you don't say anything, who will save you?"
Su Hao slapped Lan Xin in the face, Lan Xin fell to the ground and whispered: "I'm sorry."
Children have always been the weakest part of a mother's heart.
Since then, Su Hao has mastered the handles of the three main characters "by coincidence". While sighing that the system is really powerful, he also feels sorry for Concubine Su.
Tsk, how come you can't see so many good props that can be dug out in just one step? I deserve to be used...
Lan Xin is tough on the surface, but in fact she is very weak inside. She had to protect herself and not participate in any struggle. It was only after the good sister's child was killed that she became vengeful. However, she had not thought of the plan yet, and was afraid that she would backfire, so she never took action. Once when she was sleeping, the emperor accidentally saw her sewing half of the sachet. Because Lan Xin knew medical skills, she came up with a sinister plan.
I have to say that the emperor really thought of a good plan to kill two birds with one stone. In this plan, Lan Xin became his scapegoat. Once the queen and the imperial concubine discovered it, they would definitely pursue the extremely honest Lan Xin, and the emperor also promised to give her a way to protect herself.
The emperor promised Lan Xin that her way to save her life was to be a child. The emperor also knew that Concubine Su was jealous. If Lan Xin's child could avoid her eyes, if she was a prince, she would probably still be unable to escape the fate of premature death.
No matter what, from the beginning, the emperor never thought of letting the queen and Concubine Su live in the palace safely. The family they represented behind them was really too threatening. If the emperor wanted to stabilize his throne, he had to eradicate all obstacles on the road ahead.
If the power of the Empress and Concubine Su could be absolutely used by him, he would not have been like this. Moreover, since the incident between the Bing Meiren, the emperor no longer wanted to be controlled by women in a wronged manner. Why was he so anxious to let Concubine Su and Concubine use each other? It was because he wanted to concentrate all his power on himself. In this way, he could truly carry out drastic reforms.
People don’t want to live by the life of relying on others’ faces, let alone the emperor.
Lan Xin sobbed and said something in Su Hao's palace.
But fortunately he did not forget the serious matter. She said to Su Hao: "Sister, you already know the truth of the matter. How are you going to punish me?"
"If you don't prepare, your child will not come back even if you punish it." Su Hao is not going to do anything to her at the moment: "I just hope that you can take good care of the emperor and don't give anyone the chance to poison the emperor."
Lan Xin thought for a moment and said seriously: "If you kill my good sister's child, even if you are equal to the revenge I have committed against you."
Su Hao snorted coldly: "This cannot be equal. My identity determines the status of the child. What if he is the future prince of the country, can you afford it?"
"This... is not something I can decide." Lan Xin shook her head. In her opinion, this method was already merciless.
"Sister, we are both women. Do you think it's so good?" Su Hao took a sip of tea with dissatisfaction.
"But since you said... why do you still want me to protect the emperor?" Lan Xin was puzzled.
...
If he dies first, I will abuse whom I will be able to do so? The good show has not yet been staged, Beiyi has not come yet, and the queen has not been suppressed and sent to jail for treason. How could he be killed like this?
Su Hao thought to himself, peeled off the lychees with her slender fingers and fed them into her mouth. After chewing them slowly, she said: "The emperor is your child's father. I don't believe you will give up on him like that." Su Hao still wants to pretend to be a good person on the surface.
"…I didn't say I wanted to give up on him. I just..."
Su Hao sneered: "Is he unwilling to find out that he was exploited?"
"I don't know what to say..." Lan Xin seemed to be hesitant and struggled: "Sister, what are you going to do? Since you already know this... My sister must also treat the emperor..."
"I know you don't dare to say it, so I will ask you one thing. Do you still have affection for him? People like this can betray you for your own benefit at any time, and will still use your hand to harm others. Are you still willing to live with him? Even if he is the father of the child?" Su Hao's expression was serious.
"Because he is the father of the child and is also my support... So, for the sake of the child, I will forgive him." Lan Xin thought for a while, and this was indeed the best choice she could make.
"So what if you didn't have to rely on him to live?" Su Hao tempted her a little bit, as he had done to the queen before. He was to convey the idea of "why women must rely on men".
"What?...I can't. I am a palace concubine, what can I do? I can't do anything." Before entering the palace, Lan Xin knew that she might become a domestic canary, without freedom, or even a future.
"Have you forgotten? You are a famous doctor. You are the helper that our concubines in the palace want the most."
"Are you the same? Want me to help you?" Lan Xin didn't call her sister this time. Su Hao knew that her cordon was getting lower and lower.
"Although we are even, now I have evidence to gain the upper hand. I don't like to kill everyone, so I want to ask my sister to do a favor."
"Is it like the way the emperor asked me to 'help' him before?"
"Sister, do you desire freedom?" Su Hao looked at her with a gentle look.
Lan Xin saw the light there.
The emperor recently successfully put a chess piece into the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion, but he had not tied him to the Duke of Zhenguo Mansion to death. It was such a wonderful move. As long as you collect evidence, you will be done.
With a prosperous country and a stable people, he felt that he was truly a wise ruler in this kind of life.
But the most regrettable thing is that his beloved woman is not here.
The last time the banquet of Concubine Su was very successful, and the emperor became closer to Concubine Su. His father-in-law, Prime Minister Su, looked very bad. Recently, because of the flood season, the imperial envoys sent to control the water were all from the Duke Zhenguo Mansion. In the court, the emperor also praised the young people under the Duke Zhenguo's men and guessed that the ministers also began to discuss whether Concubine Su would go to the next level.
Perhaps the most important thing now is to give Concubine Su a child, and everything will be natural.
The emperor thought so and drank the soup made by Lan Xin by himself and asked for another bowl. Lan Xin looked unbearable, but the emperor did not notice anything unusual while drinking the wine. Instead, he highly praised Lan Xin's skills.
"Thank you for your praise... I just did what I can." Lan Xin looked weak and sometimes wavered, but once she convinced her, she would find that she was extremely firm.
"What's wrong with you, beloved?"
"nothing."
"Is it because of Ah Hao? I feel so distressed when I see this slap in the face."
Lan Xin lowered her head silently and made a seemingly disagreement as Su Hao wished.
The emperor seemed to be clear: "Don't be afraid, if you feel wronged, I will make the decision for you."
"Your Majesty, I am not wronged."
The emperor seemed a little proud: "Even if you are wronged now, you don't have to endure it for too long. As long as the time comes..."
Why does this sound so similar to Su Hao? Could it be that Su Hao is really a god? Isn’t the emperor meant...
"The Emperor's health and well-being is my greatest blessing. I dare not say anything I want." Lan Xin was particularly well-behaved.
"You can talk." The emperor held her in his arms and patted her on the shoulder.
Qiuyue reported the eavesdropping at Lan Xin one by one. Su Hao touched her stomach, smiling at her with a smile, squinting her eyes as if she was very leisurely.
"Empress, every time you smile like this, Qiuyue feels that something big is going to happen."
"Isn't that true? Something big happened in the palace recently."
"Empress do you mean?"
"Prince Beiyi is coming to our place and has a friendly exchange." Su Hao happily swept the last lychee into his stomach.
Perhaps because Su Hao was moving very quickly, the emperor's actions were also intensified. It was the autumn harvest season, and the prince of Beiyi brought his envoys to meet the emperor, and then the emperor was about to take action.
As the mother of a country, the queen must participate in such important activities, so she presided over the overall situation this time, and the Prime Minister's Mansion survived for a while. The queen had to coach the prince alone, so in fact, half of the work was done by Su Hao.
It's too hard to take care of children, there's no time to enjoy it, and there's no room for death without scruples, and you'll be careful in everything you do. The prince was temporarily taught by the Grand Tutor and Lan Xin.
Lan Xin has been running hard these days and has never forgotten to give the emperor soup. The emperor also feels much more comfortable. Whenever he is tired, he has such a kind-hearted person to protect him, making him happy physically and mentally. It seems that the safest place in the palace is the place of the empress dowager.
The emperor's satisfaction with Lan Xin was also expected by Su Hao. After all, his wives were fighting and they were tired of watching. This time, there was an unpretentious Lan Xin who had a lotus in clear water. Su Hao felt that he probably wanted to stay with Lan Xin more.
It would be even better if she could fall in love with someone else and was dumped by Lan Xin again!
