Chapter 839 A Deliberate Act as a Warning
“Yes, they are pretty good and beautiful. However, all of them are hard nuts to crack. If Yu’er marries any of them, it will bring trouble. I’m not going to put him in a difficult situation into which his father had once fallen. I just hope Yu’er could marry a trendously beautiful and virtuous girl. Apart from this, I don’t have any other requirents for the girl Yu’er is going to marry,” Mada Jingrou said.
Lin ngya knew that her words ant more than what she said.
Could it be that she had chosen a girl she was pleased with as Xiaoyu’s wife but was afraid that Xiaoyu would not consent to marry the girl?
After thinking for a while, Lin ngya said, “Mada, you are right, but I’m wondering which lady could win your special favor.”
Of course, Lin ngya preferred Xiu to be Xiaoyu’s wife. If it were not for the fact that Xiaoyu was her brother, she would have tried to bring them together in every possible way.
When it ca to this, Lin ngya was always on the side of her family mbers rather than the side of justice.
Moreover, Xiu and Xiaoyu were really a perfect match.
One of them was as bright as the sun, while the other was as gentle as the moon.
They just needed a miraculous chance to fall for each other.
Moreover, Lin ngya believed that they would definitely have a tender feeling for each other over ti, just like Long Tianyu and her who had been hostile to each other but eventually beca a loving couple.
It required a chance to develop a relationship.
“Do you really have no idea?” Mada Jingrou stared at the girl in front of her and asked with doubt.
Could it be that her silly son hadn’t ntioned anything about this to Helan yet?
Seeing Helan shake her head, Mada Jingrou thought it a pity.
As Xiaoyu’s mother, she was not supposed to ntion this.
If she did, she would seem to be constraining Helan to consent to marry Xiaoyu.
Alas, it seed that her son dealt with a relationship in the sa way as that of his father.
“Nothing. I’m just saying that. Furthermore, His Majesty and I are not anxious about his marriage. We should carefully choose a girl as his wife. As you can see, there have been a multitude of sordid things happening in the imperial palace. I don’t want my son to fall into the sa situation,” Mada Jingrou said.
Lin ngya agreed with this very much.
In fact, she found many of Mada Jingrou’s views were beyond the cognitive range of ancient people.
Mada Jingrou lived up to her reputation as the chosen witch who had been trained since her childhood. Both her views and other ideas were so advanced that Lin ngya thought the sa as she did.
Moreover, now Xiaoyu was still too young to get married.
Lin ngya had a brainwave, wondering if it would be better to ntion Xiu to Mada Jingrou.
With the great help of Mada Jingrou, she believed Xiu would be able to win Xiaoyu’s heart sooner or later.
She said, “Mada, you are right. Nevertheless, I once t a noble lady, who lived in the capital city, outside the imperial palace. She is lively, adorable, simple .and kind. I think she and Xiaoyu will make a perfect match!”
Hearing Lin ngya’s words, Mada Jingrou suddenly beca interested.
Won were born with an enthusiastic interest in this kind of thing.
But before Mada Jingrou asked about the lady, she recalled the quarrel between Xiaoyu and his father that day and involuntarily lost her spirits.
At present, Xiaoyu was infatuated with Helan in front of her.
If she brought Xiaoyu and another girl together, Xiaoyu, who was stubborn, probably would be even more unwilling to marry the girl.
As such, she said, “Forget it. Yu’er is still young, so we are not anxious about his marriage. If he falls in love with soone after growing up, I’ll bring them together.”
Lin ngya was about to ntion Xiu’s na, but Mada Jingrou broke the thread of her discourse.
Despite her puzzlent, Lin ngya understood why Mada had this reaction.
Just like her intelligent mother, every mother wanted her children to live happily.
Her mother had sacrificed everything and made arrangents with painstaking effort for her brother and her so that they could grow up safely.
If it weren’t for her mother’s painstaking efforts to protect her brother and her, they probably would have been killed by those people with ulterior motives as soon as they were born.
This was the reason why she admired Mada Jingrou so much.
In so ways, Mada Jingrou was very similar to her mother.
She and Mada Jingrou had a chat about their daily lives until the Emperor’s personal eunuch ca out to summon Lin ngya.
Lin ngya had no idea what the Emperor and the officials were talking over.
But her appearance attracted the attention of quite a few officials.
Very few of them knew she was Miss Helan.
“Greetings, Your Majesty,” Lin ngya said, kneeling on the ground and bowing respectfully.
She lowered her head, trying hard to avoid attracting attention.
Obviously sensing that the Emperor was looking down at her, Lin ngya remained humble without changing her expression.
“Have you found out the truth of the deaths of the four palace maids?” the Emperor asked directly, pointing out her purpose of coming here today.
She lowered her head even more, because she sensed that almost everyone fixed their eyes on her.
In fact, it was unpleasant to be in the spotlight.
She said, “Your Majesty, I have found out the truth through a thorough investigation. The four of them were murdered, but I haven’t found the murderer yet.”
In fact, her answer almost gave no useful information.
The officials, who were staring at her, were obviously displeased, seeming to feel deceived by her.
However, the Emperor was aware of the implied aning of her words.
He asked, “Well, who do you think is the murder?”
Lin ngya had no idea why the Emperor asked her about this here.
However, she believed he did this for a reason.
After hesitating for a mont, Lin ngya said slowly, “Your Majesty, I haven’t found out the murderer. But I’m sure the murderer must have sothing to do with the royal family.”
As soon as she said that, a few officials, who were staring at her around her, beca slightly panic-stricken.
The murderer had sothing to do with the royal family. This was a serious accusation!
“How dare you, a humble palace maid, doubt the noble royals! Your Majesty, don’t listen to her irresponsible remarks!” an official said.
Hearing her view refuted, Lin ngya neither said anything else nor defended herself hurriedly.
In fact, she had prepared for this situation when she decided to say that.
Now hearing the discussion of the officials around her, Lin ngya finally realized why the Emperor asked her to report here.
He presumably needed to warn so of the officials here.
“Your Excellencies, you don’t have to be overco with emotion. Your Majesty, I think it would be better to let this lady finish her words. Besides, she only said the murderer had sothing to do with the royal family, but she did not say what the murderer had to do with the royal family. Your Excellencies, you don’t have to be so anxious,” there ca a voice from Xin Luan who ca in earlier than her.
Lin ngya did not expect this, but why did Xin Luan speak up for her?
“Okay, go ahead,” the Emperor said indifferently.
Hearing his cold tone, the officials shut up obediently.
Lin ngya said, “Okay. Thank you, reverend sir. In fact, the four palace maids got killed with their left hands cut off and the blood drained. Finding it strange, I consulted so historical records and ancient works, and I found it only happened to the slaves buried with deceased royals. Besides, very few people know this system after the late Emperor abolished it. So I assu the deaths of the four palace maids must have sothing to do with the royal family.”
In fact, after the late Emperor abolished this system, he not only killed the officials of different ranks who conducted the ceremonies under this system, but also gave an order to burn the docunts related to this outrage.
At present, this system could only be found in the rare works collected in the imperial palace.
Moreover, without the Emperor’s permission, very few people could read the works.
In this situation, the murderer was either a royal aware of this system or soone with an ulterior motive who intended to challenge the royal family.
But in either case, the murderer had sothing to do with the royal family.
Lin ngya just played with words, but the officials beca panic-stricken.
It could be seen that her speculation was right. The Emperor probably wanted to warn them.
“So that’s how it is. Your Majesty, soone may intend to curse you!” an official said.
The false alarm caused cold sweat to trickle down the foreheads of the officials.
The Emperor, sitting behind the desk, glanced inadvertently at Helan, who was kneeling on the ground, with a flash of appreciation in his cold eyes.
He kept Xin Luan here simply because he wanted Xin Luan to cooperate with him.
Unexpectedly, Helan was so quick-witted.
Looking down, he had a preliminary understanding of why his silly son was so infatuated with her.
However, it didn’t an that he had accepted Helan to be his daughter-in-law.
“You can leave now,” he said.
“Okay,” Lin ngya said, as if she had been granted an amnesty.
As soon as she got the Emperor’s permit, she left obediently.
Gosh, she believed if she continued staying here, the officials would feel profound hatred for her.
After getting out of the study, she saw Mada Jingrou seed to be about to go out.
Lin ngya imdiately ca up to Mada Jingrou and exchanged glances with Ningqiu tacitly. Then Ningqiu handed over Mada Jingrou’s hand to her with a smile and said, “Thank you for accompanying Mada, sister.”
Lin ngya nodded, knowing that things had changed now.
Ningqiu, who opened the door for her back then, had beco the chief steward of the imperial palace.
Mada Jingrou didn’t care about going out with Helan instead of Ningqiu.
Knowing that Ningqiu had a lot of business to handle in the imperial palace, she thought it a good idea to go out for a walk with Helan.
Mada Jingrou and Helan walked out of the Emperor’s resting palace and headed for the garden, followed by a group of palace maids.
Although Mada Jingrou was indifferent to position, she, as the Emperor’s favorite concubine, had to be followed by a multitude of palace maids.
After the palace maids in the Fengyu Court returned from the Emperor’s resting palace where they went in a hurry to serve Mada Jingrou in the dayti, Lin ngya had heard them smilingly ntion how much the Emperor adored Mada Jingrou.
But Lin ngya knew it was a sweet burden to Mada Jingrou.
This was also the case for her when she stayed with Long Tianyu.
Therefore, she could empathize with Mada Jingrou who had the sa experience.
They arrived at the garden with a large group of palace maids.
At present, no other imperial concubines were as highly favored as Mada Jingrou.
However, so imperial concubines were keenly aware of this, while so were still not.
