Quickly wear salted fish, she won by lying down

As for explaining where the money came from...

This also makes sense - Linlang didn't spend any money to flip the cards at the beginning, she was promoted by the empress dowager's grace (unless those people dared to offend not only the eunuchs who flipped the cards, but also the empress dowager, otherwise, they would not say that the empress dowager's grace was bought by people around the empress dowager, in which case, at least she didn't spend any money at the beginning), and she was promoted later, and it was also the first time she was promoted by the empress dowager.

If we investigate the eunuchs who flip the cards, we will definitely find out that this is the answer.

Only then will money be paid to the eunuch who flips the card.

At that time, it was already the end of last year. A year had passed and she had some money in her hands. It was normal for her to buy a position from the eunuch.

As for where the money came from to buy a spot this year...

She could have just said that someone from her family had brought her some money.

As for why her family has money... Isn't it because of so many promotion ceremonies? Isn't it because of this money?
Although palace concubines were not allowed to make friends with outsiders, they could still keep in touch with their natal family.

Therefore, even if a concubine really exposed this matter, she could explain where her money came from.

Of course, this kind of thing basically would not happen, because, as Linlang said before, no eunuch would tell this matter, and if there was a concubine who wanted them to come forward to testify or harm a concubine, they would even kill that concubine to silence her, in order to prevent the other party from persuading some fool to come forward and say that they had taken money, thus affecting their financial resources.

Look, Linlang found out that there was a Chu Zhaoyi who, after investigating, discovered that her family had no money, and she was sure that she had no money either. She thought it was too suspicious that she had money to give money to the eunuch who flipped the cards, so she planned to persuade the eunuch to testify against her, and then she would investigate the source of her money. In the end, if it was found out that Linlang had no money but had money to give money to the eunuch who flipped the cards, she would tell this to the emperor, saying that Linlang had a large amount of money of unknown origin, and let the emperor investigate the source of Linlang's money. If Linlang could not explain by then, it was estimated that she gave money to the eunuch who flipped the cards, and the source of the money was unknown, then she could destroy Linlang.

The reason why Chu Zhaoyi hated Linlang so much, to the point of wanting to kill her, was because she was a selected lady who entered the palace with Concubine Li in the previous session, and was also the daughter of an official, so she was given the title of Talented Lady as soon as she entered the palace.

I thought that with her looks and superior background, she was no better than those country girls who might not even know a few words. But, suddenly, a beautiful concubine named Li appeared. She also had a beautiful face and superior background. She surpassed her in all aspects and soon became the best among the newcomers, and she was on top of her career.

As for her, she only got some soup to drink. Although she was promoted to Zhaoyi, she could not compare with Concubine Li.

This naturally made her hate Concubine Li to the extreme.

But she couldn't do anything to Concubine Li, so she planned to wait until the emperor got tired of Concubine Li, and then she would compete for the emperor's favor. She felt that the emperor couldn't always like Concubine Li, and there would always be a day when he would get tired of her. After all, he was the emperor, so how could he always eat the same dish? He would always have to change his taste. But before the emperor got tired of Concubine Li, Sun Linlang appeared. She saw that even if the emperor got tired of Concubine Li and Concubine Li was out of favor, she would have a chance to take the throne. Now that she had Sun Linlang, she was afraid that she would not be able to take the throne. So she began to be wary of Linlang, even if Linlang didn't show how favored she was, but was promoted after being favored by the emperor. She was still so wary. After all, the continuous promotions showed that the emperor was satisfied with Linlang, so even if the emperor didn't look for Linlang much, Chu Zhaoyi was also wary and wanted to deal with Linlang.

Because she heard that Linlang came from a poor family, Chu Zhaoyi felt that it was impossible for Linlang to have the money to bribe the eunuch who turned the cards to put her card in front. She clearly had no money, but still had money to give to the eunuch who turned the cards. This situation was very wrong, which meant that Sun Linlang's money came from an unknown source, so she began to investigate the matter.

Sure enough, she guessed correctly. Sun Linlang's background was indeed not good. According to the information obtained from the investigation, the eldest branch of the Sun family was extremely poor before Linlang became a concubine. They had no money to give to Sun Linlang for her to spend in the palace. However, Sun Linlang still had money to give to the eunuchs, who put her name card in front, and then let the emperor choose her. Obviously, something was wrong.

So Chu Zhaoyi immediately went to find the eunuchs who flipped the cards and tried to get their words to see if anyone would be willing to point out that Linlang had paid to flip the cards.

There is no need to ask the result. Who would admit to this and go and identify Linlang? Isn't that like using a knife to chop yourself? It would be strange if anyone would be willing to do that.

Seeing that no one was willing to admit that this happened, Chu Zhaoyi felt distressed and went back to think of a solution.

She didn't know that while she was still trying to find a way to get these people to identify Linlang, those people gathered together and discussed the fact that Chu Zhaoyi had paid them money to identify Linlang.

"I didn't expect that Chu Zhaoyi would also look for you. I originally thought that she only looked for me, and I didn't want to harm everyone, so I refused. Unexpectedly, she also looked for you. What is she planning to do? Does she want to kill us?" One of the eunuchs came out and said.

This person was the first one to tell the story of what Chu Zhaoyi had done. His original intention was to get the chief eunuch to praise him for not being blinded by money and doing such a thing. However, as soon as he said it, other people also followed suit. Everyone then discovered that Chu Zhaoyi had also contacted other people. When everyone gathered together, they couldn't help but discuss the matter and wanted to know what Chu Zhaoyi was planning to do.

"She must want to harm Concubine Sun. Aren't there enough women in the palace who have harmed people?" said another eunuch with a disdainful curl of his lips.

To be honest, if he had not become a eunuch and could not marry, or, after seeing how those women in the palace harmed people, he would not have dared to marry, because they were too scary. Who knows if he would offend them one day, or hinder their interests? They could even kill their husbands. Who would dare to marry them? After all, life is more important.

However, the others did not fully agree with what this person said. Another eunuch said, "Although her purpose is indeed to harm Concubine Sun, she wants us to point out that Concubine Sun bribed her. Isn't this harming us? Once one of us really stands up to testify about this, we will all be in trouble."

"So we can't be stupid and do such a thing just for the little money she promised. We all need to understand clearly. If we tell this, we will definitely lose our heads. After all, Your Majesty, think about it, if we dare to fool even him, how can we still live a good life?" The chief eunuch warned everyone.

"Don't worry, sir. We are not stupid. We understand. We would never do such a stupid thing. After all, our money is a long-term income, while her money is only available once. Besides, if we tell her, we will lose our life and money. Who would be stupid enough to tell her?" (End of this chapter)
