Chapter 318 Have I Become Stupid?
The longer Jinzhong served Hongli, the more he understood what kind of person his master was.
Suspicious, conceited, and born into a very humble yet noble family, he is sensitive and tolerant, but he is also narrow-minded and vindictive, yet he still likes to pretend to be magnanimous.
The best way to get along with such an emperor is to make him look down on you a little, but never let him doubt your ability to plot against him.
Concubine Chun was just coveting the position of Imperial Noble Concubine, but he suspected that she wanted to support her son to become the crown prince, so she wanted to compete for the position of Imperial Noble Concubine. He directly scolded her for being unworthy of the position, and he has not visited her palace until now.
Because of his suspicion of Concubine Chun, the Emperor treated the Third Prince and the Sixth Prince sternly on the surface but was actually full of suspicion. He often tested them with words, and after his two sons left, he became gloomy and difficult to serve.
Jinzhong always reminded himself not to be like he did in his previous life and not to quarrel with Ling Zhuer anymore, and not to be so self-righteous as to make decisions for her.
But he was really scared.
She was afraid that once the emperor suspected her, her life would be difficult in the future, and she might experience the same ups and downs as in her previous life.
Why suffer that pain?
It was obvious that she had already walked on the easiest path. Even though the emperor was crazy about Concubine Xian, he never let Concubine Xian step on Master Ling'er's head.
If you really feel sorry for the Queen, then kill Koriyete.
If he feels that it is not enough to vent his anger, he can find a way to help Ling Zhuer get rid of the entire Koriyet clan.
Jinzhong said softly, "Master?"
In her previous life, she broke up with him many times for Ling Yunche.
Ling Yunche didn't even do a good deed in the beginning, and his master even broke up with him because of him. Now he met the Queen Mother, and he felt a surge of anger in his heart.
Yan Wan pinched his chin: "Why are you panicking? I know the emperor's temper."
Jinzhong felt as if a drowning man was suddenly grabbed, and the breath that was pent up in his chest suddenly became smooth: "Master Ling is planning to..."
He looked at Yan Wan nervously, his handsome face showing a cautiousness that he himself was not aware of.
Yan Wan felt a pang in her heart. How badly had she treated him that made him so cautious and dare not even say a word of rebuttal. His eyes, which always smiled, were filled with despair, and he still did not dare to say anything more.
She touched Jinzhong's cheek gently, just for a moment, and it was like a feather brushing against his ear, causing him to move slightly in uneasiness, and his long neck seemed a little stiff.
"Jinzhong, I know you only care about my best."
Jinzhong's Adam's apple rolled: "Master..."
He looked at her greedily and restrainedly, with too much emotion in his eyes, but he suppressed it forcibly, fearing that he would say something he shouldn't say and make her break up with him again.
Yan Wan's voice was gentle, as if bewitching: "I have thought about it. Sister Mei and Yong Qi are great helpers to me. For the sake of Sister Mei, I cannot let Hai Lan die in my hands.
But if Hailan really killed the queen's child, then she must die. Then, at whose hands should she die?"
Jinzhong followed her words and thought: "It would be best if she died at the hands of Concubine Xian."
A smile appeared in his dark eyes. As long as his master was always stable, his brain would always work best:
"Princess Xian loves Xiao Lingzi very much, and Keliyete is Xiao Lingzi's lover. If these two were to have an affair, concubine Xian would be burning with jealousy.
But Concubine Xian likes to be respectable the most, she will definitely not do anything to Keliyete openly, she will only use small tricks to torture Keliyete. "
He showed a meaningful expression: "Koriyete's health is very bad."
Yanwan smiled faintly. She knew that as long as she gave a start, Jinzhong would understand what she meant.
She whispered softly, "Jinzhong, I know that you are the only one in this palace who can understand my thoughts."
Jinzhong's eyes lit up, the emotion in his eyes was really hard to conceal, a little bit of it poured out like a moth to a flame, but he immediately suppressed it again.
"The slave will satisfy the master."
Yan Wan chuckled and said, "Jinzhong, I went to Sister Mei's place today. Both children liked me very much. I... felt a little happy."
Jinzhong's heated mind gradually calmed down. He looked at the embroidery on her sleeves tenderly and said softly, "Times are different now. Your wishes, no matter how big or small, will always be fulfilled in unexpected ways."
Yan Wan looked at him with a smile on her face: "Aren't you here to have supper with me?"
She stretched out her hand: "Help me up."
Jinzhong liked to see her eating with relish the most, so he immediately reached out and took her hand with his wrist, but she gently held his hand.
Jinzhong shuddered all over. Even though he was already on the bed, he couldn't help but blush when he was held by the hand.
Yan Wan glanced at him, a deep smile appeared in her eyes, and her ears felt a little hot for some reason.
The two of them sat and stood together sweetly, ate something together, and talked in low voices for a while. Then Jinzhong reluctantly left.
Yan Wan looked at his broad shoulders and narrow waist and felt a little regretful. She had to wait for more than 20 years before she could bring him to her side and raise him.
Chunchan came over with a smile and washed her: "The master's worries have been resolved."
Yan Wan yawned lazily: "I have to embarrass him again."
Chunchan's smile deepened: "If you don't embarrass him, he will probably be really embarrassed."
Yanwan called Chunchan in a reproachful manner, but she also started laughing. Thinking of Jinzhong's companionship in two consecutive lives, she sighed slightly in her heart.
She has become more and more soft-hearted recently.
If it were in her previous life, or if it was when she just came back, she would have directly interrogated Hai Lan to get a confession, and then brought her before the Empress to execute her, without caring about Concubine Mei and Yong Qi at all.
At that time, she was always very confident that what she did would not be leaked.
Perhaps it's because her life has been too smooth, with more and better people around her, that she can't help but always look back and forth.
She looked at Chunchan hesitantly: "Chunchan, have I become stupid?"
Chunchan was stunned for a moment, and said with amusement and helplessness: "Why would the master ask that?"
Yan Wan lowered her eyes and said, "It was originally just a matter of killing a person, but I took a long detour because I was worried about Yongqi."
Chunchan felt sad and said, "My dear, you are a soft-hearted person. If it weren't for the need to survive, you would still be as soft-hearted and kind as before.
Even though you have reached such a high position now, you have never taken the lives of servants lightly. Everyone says that you have a kind heart, which shows that except for your position, your original intention has never changed. "
Yan Wan suddenly realized: "Compared to Concubine Xian, I am indeed an excellent master."
After she finished speaking, she also laughed out loud: "Maybe it's been too long since I did anything bad, I actually feel weird. Go tell Sister Mei to ask her to make time tomorrow. I want to go with her to find trouble with Concubine Yizha."
