Empress Dowager Lin was silent for a while. The atmosphere in the palace fell to the freezing point.
After a long time, Lin Yueying couldn't estimate how much time had passed. Empress Dowager Lin finally said,""How does Ying Er want me to answer?”
"I…of course I don't want that to happen. But, whether or not it happened, it's all in my aunt's past. Who hasn't done something wrong when they were young?”No matter how wrong he was, he couldn't be more wrong than Chu Huaijin. A newbie killed his own child.
"Well done, this widow had just entered the palace at that time and had a sharp personality in the Lin family. In the palace, she was the main consort, so it was inevitable that her status was high.”
In fact, it wasn't Empress Dowager Lin's intention to fight. However, she had been in the palace for several years. Other than the first child she gave birth to, she had died before she was a month old. After that, she had failed to stand up every time she became pregnant.
"This widow killed her, do you know how many children this widow sacrificed?”If it weren't for those vicious concubines in the harem, how could she not have a biological child to inherit the throne? To the extent that she had to take a fancy to Chu Huaijin's mother, who was born in such a poor and lowly family and wasn't very favored.
Originally, she only wanted to quietly take the child over and raise him on her knees. She was the empress and had no children. Countless concubines who had given birth to princes tried their best to send their children to her, but she did not fancy any of them. She only picked Chu Huaijin. That child looked honest, but reality proved that he only looked honest on the surface and was not honest at all.
"If this widow had known that this day would come…why would she have done so?”
She might as well follow the Emperor's wishes and choose a concubine's child to raise under her knees. It didn't matter if the person was the Empress Dowager or not. In any case, her position as the Empress Dowager of the main palace couldn't escape.
But what was the use of saying all this now? The Lin family was about to be destroyed. Those who didn't know the truth would probably think that it was destroyed by Chu Huaijin. However, in reality, it was destroyed by people like them who kept saying that it was for the good of the Lin family and that they would bring glory to the Lin family.
"Power is something that comes from nothing, and from having it to greed. It's like a disease in a person's body. If it happens and is not treated, it will only get worse and worse until it eventually becomes an incurable illness.”Bai Ze listened very seriously. Seeing that Lin Yueying was a little sad after listening, he quickly patted her shoulder to comfort her.
Empress Dowager Lin looked at Bai Ze approvingly and raised her hand to give him a thumbs up.""The Bai family brat is still able to see through it.”
Back then, the Bai family was also a big family, but the Bai couple did not care about the power of the Bai family's ancestors at all. They led the entire Bai family into seclusion.
Although they didn't live in the garden like other retired officials, they were hidden in the forest and in the city. They were clearly in the field of official interests, but they could still keep their hearts and only do things to treat the sick and save people. This was true wisdom and open-mindedness.
Bai Ze's face turned red from Empress Dowager Lin's sudden praise. He lowered his head and his eyes flickered. He was extremely embarrassed.
"This widow is about to die. There is one more thing, this widow feels sorry for you…This widow knows about your body, child…Is this the fate of our Lin family's daughter, to not be able to take care of her own child?”
The pregnancy of the Lin family's daughter was probably at odds with the Chu family's royal palace. None of the Lin family's daughters who had married into the Chu family had ever given birth to their own children.
However, over the years, their Lin family had sent in several daughters intermittently, and almost all of them had a tragic ending.
Originally, Empress Dowager Lin was already the best, but now that she was going to die like this, how could she be considered good?
There was also Lin Yueying. Once the protective umbrella that had been protecting her fell, she, the empress, would be even more miserable.
"Originally, this widow found the child-avoiding soup that Chu gave you, so she asked Granny Li to change it to another kind of tonic soup. She thought that no matter what, that kid with the surname Chu would not make things difficult for his own flesh and blood…"
Unfortunately, Chu Huaijin did not feel happy just because Lin Yueying was pregnant with his child. Instead, in a fit of anger, he personally fed Lin Yueying the abortion medicine. This became something that Lin Yueying could never forget for the rest of her life. Even after thinking about it for many years, it was still a big knife in her heart. She would bleed if she touched it easily.
"It was actually done by him. What exactly is his heart made of? Yue Ying's body…was completely harmed by that avoiding child soup and that bowl of crocus.”She would never have children again.
Chu Huaijin, ah, Chu Huaijin. His heart was hateful, and his heart could be killed. Bai Ze clenched his fists and gritted his teeth.
He thought that they were truly in love, which was why Yue Ying, who was indifferent to fame and fortune, was willing to enter the palace for him. Therefore, he was also willing to retreat and pretend that he had never appeared in Yue Ying's life.
However, what did he get in return for his concession and help?
It was Yue Ying's injuries, and the heart marks and wounds that would never recover.
"This is also aijia's fault. If aijia knew that he hated our Lin family deeply, aijia would not have taken the initiative to change the bowl of child-avoiding soup and would not have killed nanny Li and Ying 'er's blood.”She had lost her own child before and knew the despair of losing a child all too well. Not to mention, Lin Yueying was kissed by the man she loved the most. The pain of losing a child would increase exponentially.
Seeing Empress Dowager Lin crying so much despite her age, even if there was any resentment in her heart, it had already turned into tears.
" Aunt, it's not Aunt's fault. It's not your fault. If you want to blame someone, blame it on fate. It's God who wants to tease us like this…"
Waves of suppressed sobs overflowed from the inner room, covering the hurried footsteps outside the hall.
It wasn't until the footsteps had reached the door of the inner room that Qing Li saw who it was. She shouted,""Who is this person? This is the Empress Dowager's bedroom and you dare to barge in.”
"Humph, shameless slut, you can't even recognize your master after following Empress Lin for a few days?”Shen Pan 'er slowly walked out from the crowd of palace maids with a cold smile on her face.
"This servant pays her respects to Consort Lian." Qing Li's face stiffened, and she immediately greeted him loudly.
"Despicable thing, pull him down. You shouted so loudly. I don't believe that there's nothing fishy going on.”Shen Pan 'er pushed away the two palace maids standing at the door and kicked the door open.
The inner room was a palace with light and darkness. It was separated by a beaded curtain in the middle. Shen Pan 'er kicked the door open and thought that she could see everything in the inner room. Her heart was in her throat and she used all her strength. She was just waiting to see a joke. Unfortunately, all she saw was a screen made of golden nanmu and a beaded curtain.
"Charge in." It was so tightly covered. Hmph, it seemed that someone had come to report that the matter of a man outside the palace hiding in the palace was true.
The palace maids behind her rushed in aggressively.
Qing Li's heart jumped as she watched. She tried to break free from the palace maid's restraint and come forward to stop them.
" No…Empress…"
The bead curtain shook and Shen Pan 'er's person had already pulled it open…
