The harem is full of gossip, Your Majesty, you are being cheated Ch. 134

"Don't say such things, mother. The imperial physician will definitely find a way." Yue Lin sat down beside the bed and tentatively held Empress Dowager's hand.

Empress Dowager's hand was really hot.

This fever... seemed to be quite severe.

Yue Lin's brows were tightly knitted.

Based on his understanding of Empress Dowager, this disease was probably problematic.

But he couldn't see what the problem was.

"I have lived for most of my life, and I don't care about these things anymore." Empress Dowager said softly, "Emperor, please let others leave. I have something to tell you."

Yue Lin waved her hand.

Everyone else left.

Lin Qingqing was about to stand up.

Empress Dowager said, "Lady Lin, you should stay too."

"Yes." Lin Qingqing responded softly.

"Emperor." Empress Dowager said softly, "I have lived to this age, and I don't care about life and death. The only thing I can't let go of is you and Hua'er. I originally wanted to see Hua'er get married, but now it seems that I may not be able to see it. He is your younger brother. After I am gone, please forgive his mistakes for the sake of our brotherhood, choose a marriage for him, and then let him leave the capital."

A strange look flashed in Yue Lin's eyes.

Empress Dowager's words seemed to create an atmosphere of a dying person speaking kind words.

But, why was he so unconvinced...

In Miaomiao's heart, Empress Dowager lived a little longer than him.

Three years later, when he died suddenly in the palace, it was Empress Dowager who summoned Yue Hua to the palace first.

At that time, she was very energetic.

If he hadn't heard Miaomiao's heart, he might have really been deceived by Empress Dowager's appearance.

Now... just treat it as a joke.

"I know that you have always resented my favoritism towards Prince An He. But this is because I have high hopes for you and hope that you can become a wise ruler, so I will be a little harsh on you."

Empress Dowager slowed down her tone.

Yue Lin could not deny, "Your son understands."

He was neither moved nor cried bitterly.

Empress Dowager's expression stiffened. Why didn't her tried-and-true self-torture trick work this time?

It's not necessarily.

Her eldest son was the best at hiding. Perhaps, he just didn't show it on his face.

Empress Dowager said softly, "I will leave your brother's side to you. I have something to let go of here."

Empress Dowager showed a trace of worry, "Since the Empress entered the palace, she has been domineering and abused her power in the harem. The whole harem is full of complaints and resentment."

Yue Lin: "..."

Were you talking about those concubines who drink tea and eat melon seeds all day and complain and resent?

"Your Majesty, you still leave the harem empty and dote on her blindly. The harem is closely connected with the former dynasty. If you do this, I'm afraid it will cause a shock in the court." Empress Dowager looked earnest.

"So what? What does mother mean?" Yue Lin tried.

Empress Dowager coughed twice, "This time when I was sick, only Lady Lin took the trouble to serve by my bedside. I think she is a good child. And she has been with you the longest, there is some affection between you. Empress's exclusive favor is a way to disaster, Emperor, it's time to share the rain and dew equally."

Empress Dowager said meaningfully.

Lin Qingqing lowered her head shyly.

She felt a little sour in her heart.

This time, Yue Hua specifically told her to do everything she could to win favor and keep Yue Lin's heart with her.

Yue Hua also told her implicitly.

If...

If other methods don't work.

Let her devote herself to Yue Lin for him.

Her body and heart were all prepared to be left to Brother Hua.

But now Brother Hua needed her, and she had no choice but to do so.

Brother Hua said that he knew her efforts and would not despise her in the future.

Yue Lin's eyes narrowed slightly, and a faint smile appeared at the corners of her lips.

Empress Dowager's illness this time turned out to be because of this.

"My mother's words are getting more and more interesting." Yue Lin said, "I used to favor Lady Lin, and the previous dynasty was in a mess, but my mother didn't say a word. Now I have only favored the Empress for a few days, and the previous dynasty has not had time to react, but my mother keeps saying that this is a way to bring disaster. I can't figure out the reason for this."

Empress Dowager's face changed slightly.

What's wrong with this emperor!

Why was he so difficult to deal with now.

Didn't he like Lin Qingqing very much? She gave him a way out, but he didn't go along with it?

Empress Dowager couldn't help but glance at Lin Qingqing.

This calculation was actually nothing more than the emperor's heart.

At this time, it depended on Lin Qingqing's own ability.

Lin Qingqing's heart trembled slightly, and she raised her eyes with tears in her eyes.

"Your Majesty, are you still resenting me?" Tears dripped down her cheeks, and Lin Qingqing's voice trembled, "I admit that I was wrong before. I shouldn't have met with Prince An He privately because I admired his talent. But after being confined for so long, I really know my mistake."

Lin Qingqing looked at Yue Lin with tears in her eyes, "Once, I mistakenly took that kind of admiration as love, and made His Majesty wait for so long. But after this incident, I completely figured it out."

"In fact, I have already fallen in love with His Majesty. I am just grateful and admiring to Prince An He."

"Your Majesty, I finally recognized my heart, but you... don't want me anymore?"

Lin Qingqing looked at Yue Lin pitifully.

This was the first time she had shown weakness in front of Yue Lin!

In the past, she always put on airs and waited for Yue Lin to coax her and please her.

But now—

The situation was different.

For Brother Hua's plan, she could only wronged herself!

"Your Majesty, everything I said today is from my heart." Lin Qingqing leaned closer to Yue Lin, "I..."

Yue Lin narrowed his eyes, he stood up and avoided him directly.

Lin Qingqing did not give up, she also stood up, and leaned against Yue Lin softly.

"Empress Dowager!"

Suddenly, a cry rang out.

"Empress Dowager, why didn't you tell me that you were sick! Empress Dowager, I brought my sisters to see you!"

This voice...
