The Legend of Rebirth of the Demon Empress

Chapter 263 The Depths
Lin Zisu thought that the meal would be peaceful, but when a maid came to pour wine for her, she knocked over the glass of fruit wine in front of her.

All the bright red juice hit Lin Zisu's body, and immediately there were bright red stains on her dress.

Seeing this scene, Princess Jingle couldn't help gloating and said: "Oh, Miss Lin, you are so careless!"

Lin Zisu stood up, ignored the court lady's begging for mercy, turned to the emperor and walked over.

She saluted, and said in a flat voice: "Your Majesty, empress, please go back and change your clothes."

The emperor's face sank immediately, and he looked at everyone in the banquet one by one, and finally stopped on Princess Jingle.

Princess Jingle shuddered in her heart, and she quickly argued: "It was Lin Zisu who was careless, and I didn't plan on her!"

The emperor ignored Princess Jingle, glanced outside the hall, and said flatly: "Su Yatou, you go down for now, I will order people to send the food to Changping Palace later."

Lin Zisu backed out as she said, and as soon as she walked out the door, she looked around vigilantly.

During the banquet today, she was very careful in every move she made. The action of the court lady knocking over the wine glass just now was definitely intentional.

I don't know who is the person behind this maid. If she dares to play such a small mind in front of the emperor, she is either confident or stupid.

She walked forward unhurriedly, led by an eunuch, and two other court ladies followed closely behind her

Sure enough, within a few steps, an elderly court lady blocked Lin Zisu's way.

The eunuch walking in front of Lin Zisu scolded softly: "Which palace are you from? Don't you have eyes?"

The palace maid bowed to Lin Zisu, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "My maidservant in Changning Palace, by order of your empress, I invite Miss Lin to come and talk."

Changning Palace is the palace where Concubine Zhang Xian is in charge, so the "mother" in the mouth of the maid is naturally Concubine Zhang Xian.

The eunuch usually has a relatively calm temperament, even if Concubine Zhang Xian is now out of power, when he heard that Concubine Xian summoned Lin Zisu, he neither dared to agree nor refused, and looked at Lin Zisu hesitantly.

"I have never had any contact with the concubine Xian, I don't know why the empress called me to go?"

Lin Zisu glanced at the court lady with interest, pointed to the wine stain on her clothes and said, "Your Majesty, please, I dare not refuse, but today is so inconvenient, can we talk about it another day? "

The palace maid smiled and said: "What does the lady want to say, the slaves don't dare to inquire, but the lady has said that what she wants to say is related to the past of His Royal Highness Dun, if Miss Lin doesn't go, don't regret it in the future."

Lin Zisu pondered for a moment. Normally, she would only take such words as a joke, and would never rashly follow a stranger.

But when the other party mentioned Xie Xi, Lin Zisu wanted to hear what the concubine Zhang Xian, who had lost her power, wanted to say to herself.

Besides, this was in the imperial palace, and Concubine Zhang Xian invited her in an open and aboveboard manner, even if she went to Changning Palace, there would definitely not be any accidents.

Lin Zisu immediately turned around, led by the maid, and the group walked towards Changning Palace.

When we arrived at the gate of Changning Palace, we saw more than a dozen imperial guards guarding there.The court lady pointed at the imperial guards, and smiled at Lin Zisu: "Miss Lin, His Majesty has taken notices these days to prevent too many people from entering or leaving. The father-in-law and those two maids by your side should stay here. "

Lin Zisu hesitated for a moment, and said to the eunuch behind him, "I'll go in first and have a few words with your majesty. If you don't see me coming out after a quarter of an hour, please go and invite His Highness King Dun to come over."

The maid said with a smile: "Miss, don't worry, it's just a few words, and it won't take too much time for you. Besides, the empress is not feeling well these days, so she can't talk for so long."

Lin Zisu felt at ease, and followed the maid into the gate of Changning Palace, but the maid did not lead Lin Zisu to the main hall, but walked around in a circle and went straight to the depths of Changning Palace.

Logically speaking, as the lord of the first palace, Concubine Zhang Xian usually only receives guests in the main hall.

Besides, in the side hall, Concubine Li lived, Concubine Zhang Xian would never lower her status and talk to herself in an inconspicuous place.

Lin Zisu sensed something was wrong, stopped immediately, and shouted sharply: "Who the hell are you? Where's the concubine Xian?"

The palace maid pointed her finger not far away, and said with a smile: "The empress is right in front, does the girl look familiar to that place?"

Lin Zisu looked along her fingers, and there was a small courtyard in front of her. There was also an attic in the small courtyard, which was very conspicuous.

"This is the Star Picking Pavilion?"

Lin Zisu remembered that Xie Xi had brought him to this place before. At that time, he also mentioned that his mother had lived in Zhaixing Pavilion before her death.

And that attic is also of great significance to Xie Xi.Lin Zisu was even more puzzled, and asked, "Is Xianfei in the Zhaixing Pavilion at this time?"

"The empress mentioned by the servant girl is not the concubine Xian, but the concubine of His Highness King Dun, Concubine Li."

When the maid said this, she smiled at Lin Zisu again, and made a "please" gesture.

Lin Zisu's hairs were almost standing on end, even looking at the maid's smile, she felt a little abnormal.

The palace maid didn't realize it at all, and said: "Miss Lin, time is a little tight, you come with this servant, let's make a long story short, and go out as soon as possible after finishing."

What Lin Zisu didn't know was that since she entered Changning Palace, someone had reported her whereabouts to the emperor.

After the emperor listened, he ordered the messenger to return to Changning Palace to guard, and then turned to Xie Hui and asked, "Hui'er, is it too harsh for the emperor to make your mother and concubine think about their mistakes behind closed doors?"

Xie Hui said in a low voice: "Father did this to keep mother and concubine away from disputes between right and wrong, but unfortunately, mother and concubine did not understand father's painstaking efforts. My son thinks that mother and concubine should reflect on themselves."

After Xie Hui finished speaking, his face was still icy, and no one could see any expression.

The emperor nodded and said: "Your mother and concubine are women, so don't pay attention to her for now, as long as you can understand my intentions. I see that you brothers, you only care about yourself on weekdays, and your feelings have faded a lot. Today I summon you Together, I hope that you can get along in harmony in the future, and there must be no such thing as brothers fighting against the wall."

Several princes and princesses solemnly said yes, and the emperor turned his head to the queen and asked, "Queen, do you have anything to say?"

The empress was always in a trance. After the emperor asked, it took a few breaths before he realized it and said, "Your Majesty is right, my concubine has nothing to say."

The emperor snorted and said sharply: "Queen, you dare to perfunctory in front of me, are you dissatisfied with me?"
