Get pregnant quickly: Jiaojiao relies on giving birth and is favored by the boss

Chapter 367: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (12)
The imperial physician of the Imperial Hospital checked it out and found that the contents were all common medicinal herbs, which indeed had a calming effect. It would have a very good therapeutic effect when you sleep at night.

But for ordinary palace maids, the medicinal materials inside are indeed a bit rare. In this palace, people are not allowed to walk around freely, so it is still a bit difficult to make them by yourself, let alone collect these medicinal materials.

What's more, how did she, a little palace maid, know this recipe?
"To answer your Majesty, I would read some books in my spare time, so I learned a little. When I was a child, I learned some words outside the school. After coming here, a nanny also taught me." This also explained why she could recognize words and had books to read.

In an ordinary family, a book is hard to come by. Besides, their energy is spent on how to live, so how could they spend it on such useless things? It’s not useless, but it’s useless to them.

To support a student, most of the family's resources must be used up. The whole family tightens their belts and lives, and the only hope they can have is that the student can succeed in his studies.

However, there are quite a few people in the palace who can read. There is no rule that prohibits palace people from learning to read, but some people still cannot read as usual. One reason is that they are too old to learn, and the other is that they are not that talented and do not have the time.

So when she heard Lin Yan say that she knew how to read, Concubine Shu looked at her in surprise. In her opinion, a little third-class palace maid would never be able to get such a skill, right?
"You are eager to learn." She reached out and touched the armor on her fingers, looking lazy. Then she changed the subject and said, "You will serve me in the future. As for that sachet... forget it, your embroidery is really crude. Just prepare the materials. If you please me, there will be rewards!"

Lin Yan was excited, and knelt on the ground with a look of joy, looking delicate and cute, like a little child. "Your servant thanks Madam Shufei!"

This little guy has no ulterior motives at all, and all his emotions are exposed. He can be seen through at a glance, he has no scheming, and people don't care about him that much.

The doctor left the materials and left. As for how the sachet was made, he had no interest. It was just something for women. Did a grown man like him need to learn how to make it?

Although the sachet has a calming effect, he can make it himself, so there is no need to learn from a little palace maid. It is better to think about those difficult and complicated problems by yourself and hone yourself.

Before Lin Yan stood up from the ground, a senior palace maid came in, whispered something in Luo Mei's ear and stood aside. Then Luo Mei frowned slightly and whispered a few words in the ear of Concubine Shu.

Based on the subtle changes in the other person's eyes, I can roughly guess something. I don't know what it is, but it is definitely not of any benefit to me.

In order not to expose her ability to read people's expressions, she pretended to be ignorant, kneeling stupidly, not daring to look directly at her master's face. She just stayed there, waiting for the superior to let her stand up.

The armor of Concubine Shu knocked on the table, making a "da da da" sound, and then scratched the table a few times, making several harsh sounds, which made people couldn't help but get goose bumps.

"Your name is Vanilla, right? Who is that Xiangguo to you?"

Her tone sounded calm, like a normal question, nothing special. But if you look closely, you can see that her fingertips are slightly white, and a different light is reflected in her pupils.

Obviously, there are a lot of objections to the name Xiangguo.

If Lin Yan was a young maid who had just entered the palace, she could actually escape unscathed, but she might not be put to good use. But she was different. She took some effort to get to the side of Concubine Shu, in order to make it easier for herself to move around in the future.

Some things should be exaggerated. And moderation is also the most important rule. She needs to gain the trust of Concubine Shu. If she can improve her status, she will be able to do things more smoothly in the future.

"To answer your Majesty, Xiangguo and I used to be good sisters who grew up together in the palace." She lowered her head and spoke without noticing the expression of the person at the top. But one could guess that at this moment, the expression was a little scary and a little gloomy. Even the palace maids around her had strange expressions.

But she lowered her head, looking at the ground, not knowing what was happening to the others. And she was still talking to herself, "But we were just sisters once."

When I said this, I felt extremely sad. It was like recalling the past, but now it turned into regret.

"What's going on? Tell me about it." Concubine Shu supported her chin and looked at her with interest, hoping to hear some useful information from her.

Lin Yan took a deep breath and calmly recounted what happened that year, "...it was Xiangguo's indifference that caused Xiao Yuan to lose his life. Although I know she did nothing wrong, I cannot forgive her. What's more, she was the one who betrayed our friendship first. Between her and I, we can never go back to the way we were before."

In this story, Xiangguo is a person who will do anything to climb up the social ladder. She is a person who stupidly watched her friend get promoted, but watched her friend drift away.

There was a hatred in his tone that could not be ignored.

It should be hateful. They had agreed to leave the palace together after growing up. But because of the indifference of one of them, the other lost his life. In any case, this friendship was broken.

What Concubine Shu cared more about was that Lin Yan had developed hatred in this relationship.

It's good to have hatred, because hatred proves that this person is not so stupid. The former sisters turned against each other, what a classic drama!

"I heard that Xiangguo came to see you a few days ago. What did you talk about?" This is what she cares about most.

The two people had just met, and now they appeared in front of her, which inevitably aroused suspicion.

Of course, she couldn't rule out coincidence, but she had to investigate the matter thoroughly. She was just a palace maid, and she could be strangled to death easily.

There was a faint smile hidden in Lin Yan's eyes. She guessed that it was because of what happened a few days ago.

There are so many people in the palace, and it's not surprising that many things can be easily exposed. The saying "walls have ears" is indeed true.

"To answer your Majesty, I don't know what Xiangguo wants to do. She said she wanted to reminisce with me. But I didn't want to stay with her any longer, so I left without saying a word."

The people who were following them must have known about this kind of thing, because they did indeed part ways after chatting for a few words, and only stayed for a while because of the little episode with Jiu Qiansui.

The person sitting at the top didn't speak for a long time, as if he was thinking about the truth of his words.
