The harem is full of gossip, Your Majesty, you are being cheated Ch. 232

If it was before, she would be angry for Yue Lin, thinking that Empress Dowager was so partial.

But now, she was just curious.

When one day, Empress Dowager found out that Yue Hua was not her biological son at all, and that her son was strangled to death by the late Emperor just a few days after he was born, in order to give way to Yue Hua, how would Empress Dowager feel?

"Empress." Nanny Fang bowed and said with a stern face, "Empress Dowager invites you."

Jiang Zhimiao patted the cake powder on her hands and stood up slowly, "I will go there right away."

"I will go with the Empress." Concubine De also stood up.

Other concubines also stood up.

Seeing this, Nanny Fang snorted coldly, "Empress Dowager only invited the Empress."

Jiang Zhimiao smiled at the concubines in a soothing way, and then said, "Nanny Fang will lead the way."

Jiang Zhimiao only brought Zuiyue and Yunxiang with her.

She had nothing to fear.

Now most of the people in Shou'an Palace were the Emperor's people.

Empress Dowager had no power, so she couldn't make any waves.

Shou'an Palace.

As soon as Jiang Zhimiao came in, she saw Lin Qingqing standing weakly beside her.

Jiang Zhimiao was stunned for a moment.

She almost forgot about this person.

Putting away her thoughts, Jiang Zhimiao saluted flawlessly.

She bent her knees and kept the saluting posture.

After waiting for a while, Empress Dowager didn't mean to call her up.

Jiang Zhimiao raised her eyebrows and straightened up.

"Does the Empress Dowager have any instructions?" Jiang Zhimiao asked.

Empress Dowager couldn't help but flash a trace of anger in her eyes.

Lawless.

Really lawless.

Yue Lin and Jiang Zhimiao, now they don't take her seriously at all.

Empress Dowager suppressed her anger and said coldly, "Empress, I came here today because I have something to ask you."

Jiang Zhimiao's expression moved slightly.

Empress Dowager came here aggressively today, as if she had caught something.

What could this handle be?

Jiang Zhimiao lowered her eyes and said softly, "Please speak, mother."

Empress Dowager looked at Jiang Zhimiao, and a sharp light flashed in her eyes, "As the master of a palace, you should be tolerant! I was not feeling well a few days ago, and I closed the palace to recuperate for a few days. As a result, you tortured Lady Lin into this half-human and half-ghost appearance because of jealousy! Do you plead guilty?!"

Half-human and half-ghost?

Jiang Zhimiao was stunned for a moment and looked at Lin Qingqing again.

She was shocked when she saw it.

Although Lin Qingqing still looked weak, her originally fair skin color had darkened for some reason. When she stood there, she always looked shaky and unstable.

"What happened to Lady Lin?" Jiang Zhimiao asked.

"How dare you say that!" Empress Dowager angrily slammed the table, "Lady Lin is a girl in the boudoir, and you asked her to run around Chenghu Lake 30 times every day! If she can't run, someone will force her to run."

Jiang Zhimiao remembered.

Yue Lin seemed to have given such an order before!

"Don't shirk responsibility and say that this is the Emperor's order! If it weren't for you, how could the Emperor give such a weird order." Empress Dowager sneered, "Empress, you are really powerful in the harem now. The whole harem follows your lead, and Lady Lin, the only one who doesn't know how to please you, is punished by you to death! This is the palace! Do you really think this is your Jiang family's back garden?!"

Empress Dowager said angrily.

Jiang Zhimiao's eyes moved slightly.

She had a subtle feeling in her heart.

Could this be the handle that Empress Dowager had seized?

This was not right. Lin Qingqing had been running for more than one or two days, and everyone in the harem knew that this was an order from the Emperor himself.

Empress Dowager wanted to use this excuse to blame her, which was unreasonable.

Empress Dowager herself should know it.

Jiang Zhimiao's mind turned quickly, and her face was just aggrieved, "If you think so, mother, then I have no way to defend myself. Mother, just punish me."

Empress Dowager was stunned for a moment.

You have no way to defend yourself?

She was still waiting for Jiang Zhimiao to defend herself so that she could move on to the next topic.

Jiang Zhimiao looked like he accepted the punishment, which made Empress Dowager a little confused.

The previous words sounded serious, but in fact they did not constitute any actual evidence of a crime. If this was used as an excuse to punish Jiang Zhimiao, it would not be tenable on the one hand, and Yue Lin would probably go crazy with her.

Empress Dowager took a deep breath and said coldly, "You are certainly wrong about Lady Lin. However, your rebuttal also makes sense. Let's put this matter aside for the time being."

Jiang Zhimiao: "Mother, I have no rebuttal!"

Empress Dowager pretended not to hear it. She narrowed her eyes, "Today, Lady Lin fainted by the Cheng Lake and was seen by Nanny Fang, who took her to Shou'an Palace to rest. It happened that there was an experienced Nanny in my palace. When she saw Lady Lin, she saw something big!"

Jiang Zhimiao's eyes moved slightly.

Empress Dowager went on to say, "This Lady Lin has followed the Emperor for many years. After ascending the throne, she was favored by the Emperor for three months. Guess what? She is still a virgin!"

Jiang Zhimiao's expression became slightly serious.

She knew what Empress Dowager was going to say.

Empress Dowager was probably going to bring up the Emperor's impotence.

But for an Emperor, this was really a fatal matter.

Jiang Zhimiao had many thoughts in her mind, but her voice was very calm, "Maybe that person was wrong."

Empress Dowager sneered, "I thought so too, so I specially asked someone to carefully check Lady Lin's body, and it was indeed a virgin."

Jiang Zhimiao glanced at Lin Qingqing.

Lin Qingqing stood by, lowering her head and showing a shy and annoyed expression.

Obviously, the process of this examination was not so pleasant.

This matter was probably not said by Lin Qingqing herself.

After all, Lin Qingqing has always been confident. She would not think that Yue Lin had a problem, but that she was unwilling, so Yue Lin chose to respect her because he loved her too much.
