Lin Yüan's past work experience told her that killing the donkey after it had ground the grain wasn't a good thing, and would instead bury hidden troubles. Now, she should speak of integrity, Ye Xiu Xin helped her out greatly, so she should also repay according to their agreement.
Ye Xiu Xin was a bit beyond her expectations. She originally only knew that Xu Rong Hua was a smooth talker, and when Shen Fei became the gentle concubine, she was everywhere, supported by the imperial family, and secretly got on the pirate ship of Xiao Huang Hou. After Shen Fei's death, not only did she not get implicated, but her chances of being favored also increased compared to before, and it is unknown who she is secretly serving now.
Now Ye Liangyuan is in no way inferior to Xu Ronghua. On the surface, Ye Xiu Xin looks gentle and weak, but in reality she is a clear-headed person who doesn't have a small temper. Now that she has become pregnant and gained the favor of the Emperor's mother, and also received the protection of Empress Xiao, it seems like everything is going well for her, but what will happen after giving birth?
The child was taken away by Xiao Hou, and as the birth mother, she would only be a hindrance to Xiao Hou's eyes. In the future, when the child grows up and wants to acknowledge her biological mother again, how can that be good? Not to mention that mothers rely on their children for prestige, it will be a luxury if Ye Xiu Xin can barely survive at that time.
At first, in order to deal with the still Shang Fei's Upper Officer Li, Lin Wan and Ye Shi secretly got together. In front of everyone, they pretended to be jealous of each other and couldn't get along. Later, when Ye Shi became pregnant and moved to Changxin Palace, she didn't forget about Lin Wan. Ye Shi was very clear-headed; she wasn't blinded by the wealth and glory in front of her. She knew how to leave a way out for herself.
She obeyed the Empress Xiao's words and moved into the Changxin Palace according to her orders, just to protect her own child. If she didn't enter the Changxin Palace, she would probably miscarry within three months and the murderer wouldn't be found out. After entering the Changxin Palace, if she wanted to save her life, she had to rely on Lin Yin's move. Although with Lin Yin's power, it was still far from being able to contend with the Empress, at least it was a way out, and at critical moments, it could still be of help.
So when Lin Wan was injured and Dr. Feng was neglecting his duties, she borrowed a female doctor from her side to often take Lin Wan's pulse. The female doctor also had the surname Ye and was a distant relative of the Ye family. She had been working as a palace doctor for much longer than Ye Shi had been in the palace as a concubine. Later, Ye Shi found her and acknowledged their relationship, and only then did she come to serve Ye Shi.
This time Lin Wan felt dizzy and uncomfortable, so she quietly found her to take a look. After knowing that she was pregnant, she also made a plan with Ye Shi to kill Empress Xiao. This plan from start to finish is a trap, a trap filled with poison.
That Wu Yuanyi was not a "good conscience" but Ye Xiu directly told him that Lin Wan was pregnant, forcing him to board Lin Wan's pirate ship. Wu Yuanyi is the person of Xiao Huang Hou, but since he was appointed by Ye Xiu to take care of Lin Wan's pregnancy, Ye has been trying every means to control him.
The last time, Wu Yuanyi used medicine on Ye Shi to pretend to be seriously ill and deceive the emperor. At that time, Ye Shi was dizzy but insisted on letting Ye Yigui play tricks under the eyes of the empress, secretly leaving the dregs of the medicine to grab Wu Yuanyi's handle, and threatening him with it later. This time, when Lin Huan's matter came out, Ye Shi told Wu Yuanyi about Lin Huan's idea, and as a result, Wu Yuanyi thought that this matter could be done, he and Concubine Wei and Consort Liang sang the same tune, even if they offended the empress severely, the empress would also be suspected by the emperor because of this matter and would not dare to kill him.
Wu Yu thought for a moment, this matter has no risk, it's just jumping from the empress's boat to Lin Yuan and Ye Shi's boat, and can still gain the emperor's appreciation, not losing out. Thinking again, Ye Shi had his own handle in hand, gritted his teeth, and joined forces.
Wu Yu Yi was pulled in by Ye Liangyu, while the two female doctors were truly loyal to the Empress and had been deceived by Ye Liangyu. When Ye Liangyu ordered them to harm Lin Yu in the name of the Empress, the order she gave was not to make Lin Yu lose favor, but "Lin's family is pregnant, the Empress orders to cover up the fact and wait for an opportunity to take action". The two female doctors did not feel surprised at all after diagnosing the pregnancy, and they faithfully followed Ye Liangyu's instructions to report back to the Emperor.
As for going to the Changle Palace later to invite the Empress Dowager, it was also an early arrangement. Lin Wan was just a birth tool in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, how could she labor her to personally come over to save, as a result, the Empress Dowager heard that Lin Wan was pregnant, her eyes began to shine, as if her grandson was in front of her, and immediately stepped on her small feet with a cane from Changle Palace.
So this matter, from start to finish, was just Lin Yuan and Ye Shi secretly plotting together, and Jing Fei really had nothing to do with it.
The whole thing was a mix of truth and falsehood, full of absurdity, to the point where even Empress Xiao was misled, ultimately leading to Consort Jing being wrongly accused. Lin Yin initially hadn't included Consort Jing in her calculations, but later when she found out about the misunderstanding between the Empress and Consort Jing, she couldn't help but feel secretly delighted watching the two intelligent women fiercely quarreling with each other.
Tuoba Hong covered Lin's cheek with his palm and coaxed her in a gentle voice: "Yuan'er, you don't have to be afraid. I won't let those scoundrels bully you. As for Ye Shi..." His face clouded over as he spoke: "Xiao Shi has made a good calculation, thinking that she can gain an imperial son, at least during Ye Shi's pregnancy, she will do her best to protect him, and it just so happens to save me the trouble. When Ye Shi's child is born... Hmph."
What followed was left unsaid by Tuoba Hong, and Lin Wan heard only a cold snort at the end, but in her heart, she just smiled.
Ye Xiu Xin had once begged her: "As long as this child doesn't fall into the hands of the Empress, I'll have a way to survive and in the future, there will be time to plan."
Xiao Huanghou is still daydreaming. It's unknown who will benefit from this child in the end. Lin Yuan actually wanted Ye Shi to raise the child herself, because once adopted, the adoptive mother must be of high status, and there are only a few people in the palace who meet the requirements. After raising the imperial son, her power would grow even more, which wouldn't be beneficial for Lin Yuan.
But for now, looking at Ye's ability, it is limited, and it is extremely difficult to climb above Rong Hua.
"Although Ye Liangyu is pitiful, the two female doctors Wang and Sun are evil and hateful, and the concubines all detest them. They even ask Your Majesty to have them executed." Lin Yu buried her head in Tuoba Hong's chest and said slowly.
The lives of the palace maids were not worth noticing in the eyes of Emperor Taizong of Northern Wei. Upon hearing Lin Yu say this, he thought she was so angry that she wanted to kill the two slave girls to vent her anger, and immediately agreed, saying: "This is natural! Not only should they be killed, but they should also be punished severely!" He beckoned to his attendants and ordered: "Go to the Ministry of Justice and issue an order to have those two female doctors executed by being torn apart by carts."
Lin Wan smiled contentedly and said no more.
The two princes cannot stay any longer. Empress Xiao's mind is still muddled, thinking that the two medical girls are too stupid to make a mistake. When she comes to her senses, she will go to the Ministry of Punishment to find the two medical girls for questioning.
The matter is settled, but this tail still needs to be swept clean.
Tuoba Hong had no political affairs today, so he accompanied Lin Yu in the Brocade Smoke Building until dusk, and the two of them had dinner together again.
At night, Tuoba Hong still didn't want to leave, and he hugged Lin Yuan together on the bed, laughing and saying that even if he couldn't sleep with her, it was good enough to just hug her like this. Lin Yuan reached out and gently pushed him, advising: "Your Majesty loves children so much, you should go to another sister's palace, maybe in a few days you'll get another dragon fetus! If the concubine can't bear fruit here, isn't that a waste?"
Tuoba Hong's body moved slightly, his arm wrapped around her tightly: "The matter of the child is not urgent. I want to accompany you, and our children. I will give him more imperial blessings, when he is born, he can be even better than ordinary children."
Lin Wan lowered her head, but the smile on her face was gone. She said in a low voice: "The concubines all know the emperor's intentions... But I'm afraid. I've been harmed by others because of the emperor's excessive favoritism."
This way, Lin Wan had never mentioned it to Tuoba Hong before. She didn't dare say it in the past, fearing that Tuoba Hong would not like it. This kind of trash emperor, always decided everything around him based on his own preferences, if you said "for my own good, please don't spoil me too much", it was just nonsense to his ears. He thought he could give you as much as he wanted, when did it become your turn to decide? And thinking about letting him consider for himself, didn't she see if she was worthy or not?
It's often the case that when an emperor appears to be cold towards a woman he likes, it's probably true love, and he'll go so far as to set up a shield for her. But Tuoba Hong is made of stone and doesn't know what true love is.
Lin Wan is now pregnant, carefully calculating the intensity of her feelings for Tuoba Hong - serving him warmly and considerately in the palace for a year, skilled in bed, constantly emphasizing that he is her male god and everything to her and being believed by him, taking an arrow for him a few months ago and almost dying. Then her arch-nemesis Shangguan Li falls behind midway and is forced to leave the palace. Hmm, the situation looks quite optimistic.
Different situations have different things to say. Lin Yanshi thought, for the sake of a better future, it's best to take advantage of good timing and say what needs to be said.
As expected, Tuoba Hong listened to this and didn't show any signs of annoyance on his face. Instead, he began to feel sympathy for Lin Yuen. He held Lin Yuen in his arms and sat up, saying slowly: "The harem is not at peace, troubles keep arising. Yuen, you've really suffered, but from now on I'll protect you, see who dares to bully you again."
Lin Yuanchen placed her hand on her belly and said softly, "Your Majesty is concerned about the concubines, we all know that." In her heart, she was just disdainful, with so many women for Emperor Taizong to protect, what position did she hold?
Look, Xiao Huanghou was so excessive, but she still safely became his empress. Tuoba Hong feared her maternal family and cherished the affection they had in the beginning. Overly sentimental yet ruthless, this is exactly the kind of person Tuoba Hong was.
Tuoba Hong eventually left the Brocade Smoke Building. He had taken Lin Wan's words to heart, and although he couldn't devote himself solely to her, he could still try to make this pregnancy easier for her by being considerate of her feelings.
When he left, he also threw out a sentence, ordering Lin Yuan to be promoted to Pin. According to the ancestral system, all pregnant concubines would be rewarded with a title, even if they were not favored by the emperor, and Empress Dowager and the empress would grant them a title if the emperor forgot. Lin Yuan was not surprised at all when she heard this decree, but only felt fortunate that Emperor Taizong of Northern Wei did not promote her two ranks at once, it seemed that he had indeed listened to her words.
