Chapter 371 Deliberately doing it
After returning to the palace, Lu Shengyuan asked Lin Wanqing to go back and rest first.
"You're tired today, go back and have a good rest." Lu Shengyuan said softly, "If you have anything to say, we can talk about it tomorrow."
Lin Wanqing nodded, but hesitated.
"Your Highness, I always feel that this matter is a little strange." She frowned. "How could they all suddenly die out of nowhere? And it happened right after we found the evidence."
When Lu Shengyuan heard this, his eyes flashed slightly.
"You mean, someone did it on purpose?"
"I'm not sure." Lin Wanqing shook her head, "But I always feel that this matter has something to do with Su Qiaoer."
"Su Qiao'er?" Lu Shengyuan frowned slightly. "She's just a concubine. She shouldn't have the guts to do that, right?"
"I also hope that I am overthinking it." Lin Wanqing sighed, "But, I always feel that this matter is not that simple."
Lu Shengyuan looked at her, a hint of worry flashing in his eyes.
"Wanqing, don't worry too much." He patted her shoulder gently. "No matter what, I will be by your side to support you."
Lin Wanqing looked at him, and a warm feeling suddenly surged in her heart.
She nodded, turned and left.
As the night deepened, the palace was filled with silence.
Lin Wanqing lay in bed, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
The events of last night kept echoing in her mind, and she felt vaguely uneasy.
What role did Su Qiaoer play in this matter?
And were the deaths of those people coincidental or were they intentional?
The more Lin Wanqing thought about it, the more upset she became, so she simply sat up from the bed.
She opened the door and walked out of the room.
The sky was already getting light, and the palace was quiet.
Lin Wanqing took a deep breath and tried to calm herself down.
At this time, the maid Pei'er came over and was shocked when she saw Lin Wanqing.
"Princess, why are you up so early?" Pearl asked in surprise, "Did you not sleep well last night? Why are your dark circles so heavy?"
Lin Wanqing touched his eyes and smiled bitterly: "It's okay, I just thought too much last night."
Pei'er looked at her, a little worried: "Princess, please don't overwork yourself. Your health is important."
"I'm fine." Lin Wanqing shook his head. "I'm going to go see how the old lady is doing today."
"Yes." Pei'er responded, "Then I will prepare it for you right away."
Lin Wanqing nodded and turned to walk towards the old lady's yard.
As she reached the door, she saw the magnificent mansion coming into view, its high threshold highlighting its majesty and dignity.
And on the threshold stood a kind figure, it was the old lady.
Her silver hair looked particularly dazzling in the sun, as if it was a witness to the passing of time. Although her face was full of wrinkles, her eyes were still bright, revealing a wisdom that came from having experienced many vicissitudes of life.
"Wanqing, you're here." The old lady showed a kind smile on her face, and that smile was like the rising sun, warm and gentle.
She stretched out her hand, motioning Lin Wanqing to come in quickly.
Lin Wanqing looked at the old lady and felt a little warm in her heart.
She stepped over the threshold and walked into this mansion full of antique charm. The furnishings in the mansion were elegant and solemn, and every brick and tile revealed a heavy sense of history.
"Madam, how are you feeling lately?" Lin Wanqing asked with concern.
She looked over the old lady carefully, not missing any details.
"Much better." The old lady nodded, a satisfied smile on her face. "Thanks to the herbs you sent me, otherwise I don't know how long my old bones could have held out."
Upon hearing this, Lin Wanqing immediately breathed a sigh of relief. The worries in her heart were like a huge stone falling to the ground, and she felt much more relaxed.
"Don't say that, old lady." She smiled, and that smile bloomed like a spring flower. "As long as you can get better, I am willing to do anything."
The old lady looked at her, a touch of emotion flashing in her eyes.
She held Lin Wanqing's hands. Although those hands were covered with wrinkles, they were still warm and strong.
"Good boy." She said softly, "I'm really happy that you are so filial."
Lin Wanqing smiled and said nothing. She took out an exquisite box from her arms and handed it to the old lady.
The box was made of fine wood and carved with exquisite patterns, and it looked very valuable.
"Madam, this is a small gift I brought you," she said softly, "I hope you like it."
The old lady took the box with some surprise, opened it and saw an exquisite jade pendant inside.
The jade pendant was emerald green all over and crystal clear, as if it were a piece of fine jadeite. It was carved with a lifelike phoenix, and each feather of the phoenix was clearly visible, as if it would take off into the sky at any time.
"This..." She looked at Lin Wanqing, "Isn't this too expensive?"
"It's not expensive." Lin Wanqing shook her head. "This is what my mother left me. I'm giving it to you now."
The old lady was stunned when she heard this.
She didn't expect that this jade pendant was actually a relic left by Lin Wanqing's mother, and she didn't expect that Lin Wanqing would give it to her.
She looked at Lin Wanqing, her eyes full of emotion.
"Wanqing, this...how can I accept this?" She stuttered, her voice trembling. "This is what your mother left for you. You should treasure it."
"Madam, please accept it." Lin Wanqing smiled. "If my mother knew that I gave this jade pendant to you, she would definitely be very happy."
The old lady looked at her, a hint of emotion flashing in her eyes.
She nodded and put the jade pendant away.
"Okay, I'll take it then." She said with a smile, "Thank you, Wanqing."
Lin Wanqing looked at her and felt a warmth in his heart.
Although this jade pendant is precious, it is all worth it if it can make the old lady happy.
The two chatted for a while, and Lin Wanqing suddenly remembered something.
She turned to look at Su Yao beside her and asked, "Senior Su Yao, how is the old lady's health now?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yao immediately walked over.
"Princess, the old lady is now fine." Su Yao stood in front of Lin Wanqing with a gentle smile on her lips, like a spring breeze blowing on her face.
Hearing this, Lin Wanqing breathed a sigh of relief. She looked at Su Yao with eyes full of gratitude: "That's good, Senior Su Yao, thank you for your help during this period."
Su Yao scratched his head a little embarrassedly, a slight blush on his face: "You are too polite, Princess. This is what I should do."
"Su Yao, your medical skills are truly amazing," the old lady said with a smile. There was a hint of weakness in her voice, but she couldn't hide her admiration for Su Yao. "If it weren't for you, I would have been buried long ago."
The house is filled with a light herbal aroma, which makes people feel at ease and peaceful.
