Chapter 401 (1/2)
Dongyoujie looked at Yan Xiaoxi with appreciation and knew whether she would let him down and nodded.
”I think Princess Lin has been busy recently. It's better to relieve her boredom. In this way, I'll leave the matter to you.” Dong Youjie made a decision and walked away.
He believes that Yan Xiaoxi's intelligence will handle it properly and give him a desired result.
Yan Xiaoxi wants to cry without tears. He doesn't understand how he got involved in this dispute. Shouldn't he speak?
In this way, didn't she have to offend one side anyway?
”Sister, are you satisfied with this result?” Yan Shuzi glared at Yan Xiaoxi angrily and turned away.
”The palace believes that Princess Lin knows what to do?” all the decisions are in the hands of Yan Xiaoxi. The queen feels that this is a struggle in Dongjing country. There are both human and material evidence. She can't be partial to the imperial concubine. Did the emperor make such a decision on purpose this time?
Yan Xiaoxi and the empress looked at each other and understood what she wanted to express. Then the empress left. The other concubines didn't hurry to flee. Soon there were only two people left at the scene.
A bright smile appeared on the corner of the imperial concubine's mouth, walked to Yan Xiaoxi, patted her on the shoulder and asked, ”tell me, what do you want to do?”
”What does the imperial concubine mean by this?” Yan Xiaoxi asked puzzled.
”Princess Lin, don't pretend to be silly with this palace. Didn't you mean it?”
”Deliberately what?”
”Deliberately let the emperor leave the matter to you.”
”Oh, why would I do that?”
”Don't you have to ask Princess Lin?” the imperial concubine could see that Yan Xiaoxi had another purpose.
However, it's also good to help her clear her suspicion and remove unnecessary trouble.
”The imperial concubine is really smart.” this means to admit the imperial concubine's guess.
The imperial concubine winked at Yan Xiaoxi. She was in public and had a lot of people. It was not suitable to talk.
Yan Xiaoxi understood and followed the imperial concubine step by step. They returned to the palace where the imperial concubine lived, walked into the room and sat at their tables.
”Please.” the imperial concubine poured Yan Xiaoxi a cup of tea. She was very polite.
Yan Xiaoxi picked up the cup, took a sip and said, ”good tea.”
”Princess Lin knows that this palace is not a roundabout person. Since you will help me, you will prove that you won't hurt me. Therefore, if you have anything to say, you'd better say it directly.” to tell the truth, the imperial concubine appreciates Yan Xiaoxi and is invincible to her.
Yan Xiaoxi didn't expect the imperial concubine to be so free and easy. She said, ”the imperial concubine thinks I have another purpose to help you?”
”Isn't it?” asked the imperial concubine.
Yan Xiaoxi smiled and continued, ”what does the imperial concubine think her purpose is?”
”If I can guess, do I have to ask you?” the imperial concubine glanced at Yan Xiaoxi.
Yan Xiaoxi was amused by the imperial concubine's behavior and said with a smile, ”why does the imperial concubine think I won't harm you? Our friendship is not deep, is it? I'm the sister of imperial concubine Shu. Aren't you afraid of our collusion?”
”I said before, didn't I? You seem to have a good relationship with Princess Shu, but actually your relationship is not as good as that between me and the queen? Words may be deceptive. A person's eyes and body language can easily reveal information. I'm sure Princess Lin is the kind of person who doesn't work with annoying people.” these words are groundless and rely on speculation.
Yan Xiaoxi was speechless, more convinced that the imperial concubine was a smart woman, but she was not cruel enough, otherwise the harem would have been her world.
