Chapter 399: Meeting the Ninth Thousand Year Old (44)
A friend who is almost forgotten suddenly comes to you, asks you for help, and even asks for forgiveness in a hypocritical manner. This sounds hypocritical and disgusting.

From the moment Xiangguo asked for the sachet, Lin Yan understood what she was planning.

Because of her pregnancy, Concubine Shu's sleep quality was not very good at night. After using the sachet, her sleep quality improved. She also felt less tired during the day, making her feel a few years younger.

The emperor had to review memorials, handle state affairs, and occasionally mediate minor disputes among his officials during the day. This led to his already insufficient sleep, and because of these things, he didn't sleep well all night.

It was not until he settled down at the Xianyang Palace, feeling the warmth and softness of the bed, that he felt as comfortable as if he were soaking in a hot spring. He felt extremely relaxed and slept until almost dawn. If the chief steward hadn't called him, he would have wanted to continue sleeping.

Later, he learned that this was due to the sachets, so he asked Concubine Shu for a few.

She slept very soundly for several days in a row, which made the emperor very happy, and he stayed at Concubine Shu's place for several days in a row. This also allowed Concubine Shu to regain some of her previous favor, and also suppressed Concubine Li.

People from small places are not worthy of being on the stage. Even if she could seduce the emperor for a while, she is still just a lowly creature after all!
There is nothing to hide about this kind of thing. Anyone with a little bit of intelligence will know the inside story. It was nothing more than a talented person around Concubine Shu who cured the emperor's sleep disorder.

Is Lipin jealous? Of course she is jealous, otherwise why would she want the sachet?

But is it just because of poor sleep? That’s not necessarily the case.

There are actually some particularities about scent bags. Women's scent bags are something that is close to the body. If they fall into the hands of men outside, it will be an unexpected disaster.

Even if Lin Yan had mixed the materials for the sachet, it would not be a sachet made by her, after all, she was not very good at embroidery.

Moreover, if one concubine had poor sleep quality and wanted to ask for something from another concubine, why didn't she ask directly, but let one palace maid ask another palace maid?
Between doing it openly and sneaking around, the latter seems more strange no matter how you look at it.

Lipin and Shufei didn't have a good relationship, so it was understandable that she couldn't get the sachets if she asked directly. But if she acted coquettishly to the emperor, the emperor might ask Shufei to give her a few sachets.

So what is the purpose of sneaking around?

Lin Yan's conspiracy theories never let her down. Sometimes, if you think things are a little worse, you won't be too panicked when dealing with them.

Therefore, Xiangguo's purpose is not to ask for the sachet, but to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

The sachet came from the Xianyang Palace. If other effects occurred after Concubine Li used the sachet, who would be blamed for the crime?

The two of them didn't get along, so isn't it normal to mix medicine in the sachet? Who would believe that Lipin would harm herself? It must have been the arrogant and domineering Concubine Shu who did it!
Because the sachet came from the Xianyang Palace, Concubine Shu would have no way to defend herself. Who would she push out to get away with it?
That must be Lin Yan. Why should I care about the life of this little palace maid? Even if I lose her, my sleep will return to the way it was before, so what? It's better than losing the Holy Heart.

It is better to let a little palace maid bear all the blame than for her to suffer the injustice herself.

At that time, the emperor would criticize Concubine Shu and plant seeds of doubt in her heart, causing a rift in their relationship. Concubine Li, because of her injury, would receive the emperor's pity and thus gain his favor.

It's a matter of killing two birds with one stone, except that the two little palace maids are the most critical and the least worthy of care.

Doesn't Xiangguo know about these conspiracies? Not necessarily. It's very likely that she is the one who made this plan!
After all, who would want to keep someone who knows her dark history and is inferior to her in every way but lives a good life? Her heart has become perverted, so she doesn't care about the lives of friends or not. Lin Yan thought, if it was the original owner, she would have foolishly handed over the sachet. After all, the original owner who valued friendship was simple, kind and stupid.

But she was not the original owner, and she knew much more than Xiang Guo. The palace was a big dye vat, and even the most pure and flawless things would eventually turn into various colors.

The autumn wind is so cold.

In the Xianyang Palace, Concubine Shu was leaning on the imperial concubine couch, while Luo Mei was peeling an orange carefully, tearing the veins apart bit by bit. After peeling, she put it on the plate and pushed it over.

"My queen, no matter what, your health is the most important thing." She comforted him while peeling an orange.

Concubine Shu sneered and kicked away the maid who was massaging her feet. "I have always hated betrayal. If I knew about this, I would make sure you guys would pay the price."

The palace maid who was kicked knelt on the ground, not daring to make any complaints. Even though she was in pain from being kicked, she did not dare to act rashly, let alone check her injuries.

Seeing the little palace maid's timid look, Concubine Shu felt annoyed and thought she was useless. When she raised her eyes, Luo Mei knew what she meant and sent her away.

"Your Majesty, why do you have to be angry with a little palace maid? If you feel uncomfortable with it, just deal with it."

Just as he finished speaking, a young eunuch walked in from outside the door, "Madam, Miss Xiangcao wants to see you."

Concubine Shu raised her eyelids, a hint of interest flashed in her eyes, "Let her in."

When Lin Yan entered, the atmosphere seemed to be okay, not too depressing at all. But for her, it didn't matter whether it was depressing or not.

After seeing Concubine Shu, she bowed directly and said, "Greetings, Your Majesty."

"What's the matter?" Concubine Shu picked up a slice of orange with a silver fork and put it into her mouth.

There is a lot of juice and the taste is sweet. The fragrance of orange fills your mouth and even your breath.

"Your Majesty, Miss Xiangguo, who is beside Concubine Li, came to see me today." Just by hearing this address, one can tell that the two sisters have already broken up.

If they were familiar with each other, they would never use such words to summarize as those around the young lady or Lipin. Only if they were distant would they speak in such detail.

"Oh? You two sisters haven't seen each other for many years. Why did she come to you to reminisce about the past and tell me all this?" There was some inquiry and some ill intention in Concubine Shu's eyes.

One of her hands couldn't help but scratch her hair with her armor. People who knew her well knew that she was impatient, but they had to patiently ask.

Lin Yan didn't know this, but she knew that what she was going to say next would interest Concubine Shu very much. "Xiang Guo wanted to ask me for a few sachets on behalf of her concubine Li, but I thought that there was absolutely no reason for her to come after me secretly, so I rejected her request."
