Only their trusted aides were left in the hall. Lady Jingrou pretended to mention it by accident, but the meaning behind it was self-evident.
Lin Mengya pricked up her ears and obediently retreated to Madam's side to be a human background.
"Yes, although Li 'er is young, he is still Big Brother's son. I really can't compare to him in terms of talent and intelligence. "
Xin Luan's tone was quite sincere when he praised his nephew.
"Li 'er's innate talent isn't bad, but her temperament is a little impetuous. If the position of the High Priest falls on his shoulders, I don't know if it will be a blessing or a curse. "
After Madam Jing Rou finished speaking, both of them fell into silence.
After a long time, Xin Luan let out a long sigh, as if he had let down his guard.
"It's a good thing that you escaped from the Xin Family, sister. Otherwise, you'd be in the same predicament as me. Sister, since you've given up on the Xin family, then you should try not to get involved in the Xin family's affairs. The Xin Family of today was no longer the Xin Family of the past. If it's possible, I also want to be like my sister and leave that place. "
Xin Luan's words contained a lot of helplessness.
He seemed to be very envious of his wife, but there was also a hint of warning in his tone.
"Of course I'm aware of that. Back then, when I gave up the position of the Gu Poison Lady, it also meant that the Xin Family no longer had any connection with me. However, you should know better than me what Xin Li and Big Brother are thinking. With their wild ambitions, they might just ruin the entire Xin Family. "
Feeling a little excited, Lin Mengya raised her eyes and looked at the two men.
Madam Jing Rou rarely showed such emotions. Her eyes were glistening with tears. It looked like she wasn't completely heartless towards the Xin family.
After all, it was the family that had raised her. It was normal for Madam to be so worried.
"Sigh, Big Brother and Li 'er's ambition is too great. It's not something that you and I can convince. Sister, we can only rely on His Majesty and Yu 'er for this matter. "
Did this mean that he was refusing to cooperate?
Lin Mengya was slightly surprised. She knew very well why Madam was here today.
Apart from visiting an old friend, he was also here to test the High Priest's stance.
However, the High Priest's words were watertight. No matter how she looked at it, there were no flaws. She believed that even Madam would not be able to do anything to him in a short time.
However, Lin Mengya felt that Xin Luan was not as desireless as he claimed to be.
Madam Jingrou walked out of the Virtuous South Hall with a heavy expression. Her steps were hurried, and her mind was full of worries.
Xin Luan, the legendary High Priest of the Xin Clan.
She had initially thought that Xin Luan was an ambitious and ruthless person with a lot of money and power.
She didn't expect him to be such a refined and honest man who cherished old friendships.
Even though Xin Luan and Madam's words did not reveal any useful information.
Lin Mengya was sharp enough to capture some information.
Xin Luan did not have a good relationship with Xin Li, but it made sense. Xin Luan was in an awkward position now.
He was in the prime of his life, and he already had an outstanding successor. He had worked so hard for his position for so many years, but he still lost to a child from the main family.
Also, Xin Luan was definitely related to the king.
Although there was no conclusive evidence, when they first entered the South Sage Hall, there were so many books piled up. It was not something that people who lived here for a day or two would prepare.
Unless he planned to live here for a long time, otherwise, these books could not be moved here by the two of them.
If Xin Luan was related to someone else, he would definitely not live in the palace.
Lin Mengya was even more certain of the possibility that she had guessed at the beginning.
When she stopped thinking, she saw that Madam Jingrou had stopped in front of her.
Ning Qiu had already walked up to her. He looked at the intersection and then at his wife.
"Madam, are you going to Linqiu Pavilion?"
At the intersection, one led to Fengyu Garden, and the other led to Linqiu Pavilion.
The Queen had been well for a few days. Logically speaking, Madam Jingrou should go to see the Queen.
But they all knew how difficult it was to deal with the Queen. If they arranged for Madam to go this time, she would be in trouble again.
Madam Jingrou lowered her eyes and hid her expression. No one knew what she was thinking.
After a while, she raised her head. Lin Mengya felt that the Madam at this moment seemed to be a little different from before.
"Go to Linqiu Pavilion."
There was a hint of firmness in her soft voice. Although Lin Mengya couldn't tell what the specific changes were, she seemed to be calmer and more at ease than before.
It was strange. She just went to South Sage Palace and saw Xin Luan. Why did the Madam change so much?
"Helan, come here."
When Madam called her name, Lin Mengya immediately rushed to Madam Jingrou's side and stood respectfully with her hands by her side.
"In a while, you will follow me and act according to the situation. Do you understand?"
What did this mean? Lin Mengya raised her head and stared into Madam Jingrou's eyes for a few seconds before she nodded.
She seemed to have made up her mind. Even Lin Mengya felt that such a Madam made her feel inexplicably at ease.
She had some doubts in her eyes, but there was one thing she was sure of. This time, they would not be bullied like before when they went to Linqiu Pavilion.
The Queen's Linqiu Pavilion was as before. It was richly ornamented and lively.
Perhaps it was because she had just recovered from a serious illness, many imperial concubines who were on good terms with her in the past were even more attentive in sending all kinds of tonics to her sleeping palace.
When Lin Mengya and the others arrived, one of the imperial concubines told a joke, which made everyone in the sleeping palace tremble with laughter.
Madam tidied up her expression and once again put on her usual gentle smile as she walked through the door.
"But I came at the wrong time. I don't know that all my sisters are here joking with my sister, the Queen. You won't blame me for coming uninvited, right?"
His voice was gentle, and there was not the slightest hint of hostility.
Lin Mengya tilted her head slightly and looked at Madam Jingrou in front of her.
She had thought that the Madam seemed to have gained something. Now it seemed that she had gained some fighting spirit.
She hid the smile on her face. In fact, with Madam Jingrou's intelligence, it was just a matter of time for her to defeat these small shrimps in the harem.
But she was very curious. What on earth could make the Madam change so much?
"Hmph, there are many people who come uninvited. I don't lack you, my sister."
On the bed, the Queen, who was in a good mood just now, looked gloomy when she saw Madam Jingrou.
She said this bluntly, and the atmosphere suddenly became cold.
But the Madam didn't immediately apologize like before.
Instead, he calmly walked up to the Queen with a warm smile on his face.
"Yes, since you don't lack me, then I will disturb you."
The surrounding imperial concubines all looked as if they had seen a ghost.
Seeing that Madam Jingrou was minding her own business and sat closest to the Queen, they couldn't accept this change for a moment.
"What are you doing here?"
Like the others, the Queen didn't fly into a rage, but just asked in confusion.
"This concubine naturally came to see if Elder Sister's illness has recovered. You scared me this time. Although there are many things in the palace, you still have to take care of yourself. In the future, don't bother the Queen with those unimportant things. Do you understand? "
The last sentence was for the people in the palace to hear.
For many years, Madam Jingrou had been in charge of the harem in name.
However, the Great King Empress relied on her status to interfere in many things.
The Madam couldn't be bothered and could only let her be.
But now, Madam Jingrou's gentle words with thorns made the people in the palace who depended on the Queen feel a little uneasy.
What did this Madam Jingrou eat today? How dare she treat the Queen like this?
"You … How dare you! Men, take her down for me! "
Lying on the bed, the Queen, who was so weak just a moment ago, was now furious.
Her beautiful eyes were wide open, as if she was going to eat Madam Jingrou.
Everyone was shocked, but no one dared to move.
Because Madam Jingrou stood up and glanced at them with her gentle eyes. The threat in her eyes made those restless palace servants stop in their tracks.
"What are you talking about, sister? In terms of rank, I am a first-class noble lady. What rank are you? Moreover, the King has already ordered me to be in charge of the affairs in the harem. You are kind and can't bear to let you work so hard, so you take care of things for me. Unexpectedly, you fell sick from exhaustion. In the future, I will do everything by myself so that you don't have to worry about me. Recuperation is the right way. "
Now, not only was the Queen angry, but even Lin Mengya was surprised.
She used to think that Madam Jingrou was gentle and lovely. She didn't expect that when she spoke, her words were like knives that could kill people!
Everyone in the bedroom was dumbfounded.
Everyone was dumbfounded. No one would've thought that Madam Jing Rou, who usually didn't even dare to say half a word, would actually be so ruthless when she spoke such harsh words to the empress' heart.
For some reason, no one dared to refute.
It was as if the woman standing by the bed with a gentle face was the most distinguished woman in the harem.
"Sister, you don't look well. You should eat more ginseng and bird's nest to recuperate, so that everyone won't worry. Especially those priests who were implicated by you. "
"Hiss —" Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. One must know that this matter was currently the Queen's greatest taboo.
Yesterday, because a palace maid spread such gossip, she was caught by the Queen and immediately brought out and beaten half to death.
Now, Madam Jingrou said it without hesitation. She was really going to fall out with them.
"All of you serve Her Ladyship well. If there's anything she needs, feel free to take it from me."
She was domineering and calm, as if she was the mistress of the palace.
