Chapter 390: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (35)
"I didn't know that you had such great ability and you actually found Lord Ye as your backer. I thought you were a simple person, but I didn't expect that I was wrong."

Concubine Shu sat at the head seat with a gloomy look on her face. She lowered her eyes to look at the palace maid kneeling on the ground, with a hint of coldness in her tone.

Lin Yan pursed her lips and trembled. When she looked up, her deer-like eyes were filled with tears. "My queen, I don't know what you are talking about. Last night, I was looking for herbs and accidentally saved Lord Ye who was being hunted, so I came back a little late. But, I didn't know that he actually recognized me as his sister."

She looked extremely uneasy, her body trembling as she knelt on the ground, and she looked a little distressed. She was distressed as to why she had won the favor of Lord Ye, and why she had become like this.

She was a powerless palace maid, not very beautiful and not having any particularly outstanding abilities. Even if she saved someone, how could she have made such a great contribution?

There must be some unknown secrets waiting to be discovered.

Concubine Shu has always been a person who does whatever she wants, but she hesitated at this time. Not because of anything else, but mainly because everyone now knows that Lord Ye has a newly recognized sister who is still working in her palace.

She was not afraid of this little palace maid, but was even more angry that she seemed to have been fooled by this little palace maid. But she was afraid of the little palace maid's backer, the Nine Thousand Years Old, Lord Ye.

The emperor might be afraid of the power behind her, and would also think of their old friendship, so he would not dare to act rashly in front of her. But Lord Ye was different. If he found out something, he would not care about their friendship, and would handle it impartially!
If he knew that the girl he had just adopted was bullied by someone, wouldn't he have offended that person?

Thinking of this, Concubine Shu sneered in her heart. She thought she was a little palace maid who could be manipulated at will, and her main use was just to make her sleep more peacefully. Unexpectedly, she was still a little naive.

I spent all day hunting birds, but one of my eyes was pecked by a bird. I am really blind.

"Get up. It's cold kneeling on the ground. I'm not an unsympathetic person." Her cold voice sounded like a blessing, making people thank her.

"You can find a strong backer, that's your ability. But I don't like being deceived, so it's inevitable that I have a temper. I like your sachets very much. Keep making them in the future. I'll need them."

What this means is that you should just be a good perfume bag, and as long as you don't provoke her, everyone will be safe. Living in peace is the best, and no one should provoke anyone else.

But she was still the master, so every day she stayed in the Xianyang Palace was like being a slave. She would be wary, but not too scared.

Lin Yan understood her implication, but she still acted as if she was confused. "I will definitely make good sachets in the future, and I will definitely let the queen sleep peacefully."

"Well, let's go down. If you want to find something next time, just ask someone to accompany you. Don't get lost in this forest again."

"Yes, madam!"

Lin Yan retreated, and the tent fell into a brief silence.

Luomei brought the brewed tea over, poured a cup and handed it over.

"My lady, she is so scheming, why do you keep her? I used to think she was an ignorant lady, but she is extraordinary to be able to climb up to the level of Lord Ye."

It doesn't matter how it was before, it's what's happening now. Obviously, everything has changed.

Concubine Shu took a look at the tea in the cup. It wasn't actually tea, but water made from herbs. It tasted sweet and had the effect of keeping the fetus safe. She took a sip, her expression somewhat mysterious, "I know she may not be as simple as she seems, but I'm not stupid to let her go."

"What does your Majesty mean?" Luo Mei was a little confused.

If such a cunning person stays in their palace, if something happens one day, maybe she can't be traced back to her. But what if she is the mastermind behind it?
Isn't it best to kick the person out just in case? After all, who wants someone with ulterior motives to appear in their territory?
Concubine Shu sneered and said, "It would be useful for me to keep her. Since she can get on the boat of Lord Ye, maybe I can use her to get on the boat as well. Lord Ye was a dog beside the emperor before, so why can't I make him my dog?"

I think no one would refuse a loyal dog, right?
If she hooked up with Ye Xiao, it would mean that she had his support. If she gave birth to a prince in the future, she could compete for the throne.

Luo Mei was also a smart person. After hearing this, she understood that this meant treating people as chess pieces.

"So, instead of driving her away, we have to win her over?"

"A little palace maid is not worthy of my winning over, but the person behind her is worthy." Concubine Shu said very proudly.

"Your Majesty is so noble that a palace maid cannot afford her blessings. Let me do this, and I will make sure she will not have any second thoughts about the Xianyang Palace."

If you want someone to be devoted to you, there is only one condition, that is to be good to her. Make her feel like she is back home, even if it is just an illusion.

Concubine Shu didn't care much about servants, so she had killed many palace servants before. But she was not a fool, and she could make the right judgment after understanding the current situation, so that she could live more peacefully in the palace.

So when Lin Yan returned to her tent, there were some more rewards on the table. They said it was sent by Luo Mei, who was beside Concubine Shu, to congratulate her for finding her family in this palace.

Very thoughtful words, they are family, not a backer.

She knew that Concubine Shu was trying to win her over.

Ye Xiao's power was very strong, and winning him over was equivalent to having a 50% chance of winning. No matter what, Concubine Shu would not let her go.

Therefore, she will be very comfortable in the future life in Xianyang Palace, and no one will want to provoke her. This kind of reward is actually not bad.

She had never thought about giving herself to him. After all, given that man's vigilance, it would take a long time for him to let down his guard.

It’s good to be a younger sister. At least I can use this as an excuse to care about him and give him some warmth from time to time.

While he was thinking this, he didn't expect the young eunuch beside Ye Xiao to come over.

"Sister Vanilla, Lord Ye is looking for you. Come with us."

"Please lead the way."
