Xiao Zi’an’s voice sounds warm and gentle. Every word and every pause was just right in place. The ordinary thing in the scenery, when it came out from his mouth, has become a wonderful thing. Lin Chujiu didn"t listen in the beginning, but later on, she accepted his kindness and occasionally asked one or two questions.
The two happily talked to each other. Xiao Zian sent Lin Chujiu out to the palace gate and then turned back into the palace.
In Lin Chujiu and Xiao Zian"s point of view, it was just an ordinary conversation along the way. A large group of palace maid and eunuch were also following behind them. Those people didn"t say a word that should not be said, it’s just… …
The two were honest, but other people didn"t think so.

When the empress received this news, the smile on her face disappeared instantly. “I thought he really came for Little Seven. It turned out it just hypocrisy."
Even Imperial Concubine Zhou was mad.
She had said many times to Xiao Zian not go and see Lin Chujiu… … Lin Chujiu was his savior, but she already paid this favor. Xiao Zian simply doesn"t listen.
“How can I have such a stupid son!” Imperial Concubine Zhou was so angry that she almost vomited blood. She wanted to go to the emperor to explain, but she was afraid to end up looking for self-defeat.
What the empress and Imperial Concubine Zhou always think about was, how to deceive the eyes of the emperor. It"s just, such a trivial matter became well-known to everyone. Fortunately, the emperor refused to believe the "truth" on the surface.
“Check this matter, is it a coincidence or the truth?” The emperor told the eunuchs around to investigate, and then called his secret spy, and asked: “Lin Chujiu entered the palace to cry, who made her use this trick?"
The emperor knew that Lin Chujiu was different from the rumors outside the capital, but he didn"t believe that Lin Chujiu could have thought and skill.
The spy leader said in a low voice: "Su Cha went to Xiao w.a.n.gfu today. In addition to him, the housekeeper of Meng Family also came and meet Xiao w.a.n.gfei. According to other spies, Lin Furen sent meals to the Meng Family from time to time. It happened that today, she also sent foods."
It sounded like nothing has been cleared, but in fact, everything was answered.
“Lin Xiang? Hmph… …He had a different mind. It seems that zhen was too generous to him.” Anyone can support Xiao Tianyao, but Lin Xiang absolutely can"t.
Lin Xiang was a dog he raised. He will not let his dog bite him. How dare he rebel against him.
The emperor waved his hand for the spy to leave, then she should recruit recalled his eunuch: “Go and tell the empress, that its time to choose the rightful imperial concubine for the crown prince." As to not let the Lin Family give birth to delusions that they shouldn"t have.
However, the emperor was used to throwing a bone to his people, and so he said: "Let the empress also pick two companions for the seventh prince. It"s good if she will pick Lin Xiang"s younger son."
In this way, even if there is no marriage between Lin Wanting and the crown prince, Lin Xiang was still tied to the imperial family, and he will not support Xiao Tianyao.
In this order, not only the empress was very happy, but also Lin Xiang: "Huangshang still has me in his heart. The seventh prince is the empress"s favorite son. Even if the crown prince ascends to the throne, the seventh prince"s influence is limitless."
Most importantly, it"s safer to follow the seventh prince. He is young and not involved in a power struggle.
As for catching Lin Chujiu"s heart? Lin Xiang has long forgotten about it.
As for Lin Furen?
She didn’t know whether she should laugh or cry. Of course, she was happy for her son"s future, but what about her daughter?
What should she do about Lin Wanting?
