After my rebirth, I was the most favored person in Beijing

"Miss, should we remind you about the things that the second lady is sending to the palace?" Chunhua has been watching from behind in recent days. The more she watches, the more frightened she becomes. The things that Lin Yuanyue sends to the palace are all contraband.

No one expected that under the current circumstances, Lin Yuanyue would actually dare to send things to Concubine Ruan's palace.

Lin Xi shook his head and said bluntly: "Let's put this matter aside for now, and don't act rashly. You will know later."

"Oh no, Miss. The old lady is dying." Aunt Xu stumbled in.

Lin Xi's hands panicked and she accidentally dropped the cup on the ground. She quickly ran to Old Lady Lin's yard, where everyone had a sad face.

Xu and Lin Hewen had already been waiting in the room, while Lin Yuanyue was wiping away tears.

Lin Xi hurriedly asked the doctor: "Grandma, how is she now?"

The doctor just shook his head, waved his hand and said, "My condolences, the old lady is about to die, so prepare for her funeral in advance!"

Lin Xi was on the verge of collapse. How come her grandmother had only been in the capital for a few days, her time was suddenly up?

She did not believe what the doctor said, so she told Chunhua, "Go and call the maid who serves Miss Yueru."

Chunhua immediately understood what she meant and left the room when no one was paying attention.

Lin Xi knelt in front of Old Mrs. Lin's bed, looked at the dying old lady, and shed tears.

Seeing this, Lin Hewen couldn't help but his eyes turned red. He comforted Lin Xi and said, "This is the end of the old lady's life. Lin Xi, don't cry beside her bed anymore."

As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Xiu walked in from outside, "Brother, how is mother?" Although she wanted to take advantage of the old lady, he was indeed the child she raised, so naturally he was thinking about her.

Everyone in the house was crying. Lin Xi said, "Father, mother, aunt, grandma needs to rest now. Why don't I stay by her side? You guys go and rest for a while and then come to see her, how about that?"

Lin He originally thought it was troublesome to stay by the window, but now that Lin Xi said so, he naturally nodded and agreed, "Lin Xi, you stay by grandma's bedside, so naturally I will be fulfilling my filial duty."

But Xu did pinch Ru Ru for a long time before she said, "No, I have to stay by my mother's bed and watch over her."

She would have to watch the old lady die before she could feel truly at ease.

The old lady lying on the hospital bed had a deathly pale face and was barely breathing, as if she was about to die. Xu had been watching her secretly, and only when she saw her like this could she be sure that the medicine had worked.

She had used that medicine only once back then, and it was supposed to be completely destroyed, but she kept a copy, and she never thought that it would work at this time.

When Lin Xi heard what Xu said, she looked up and said to Xu: "Mother, you are pregnant, so it is not appropriate for you to be here. Why don't you let your sister accompany you back? Grandmother will have someone to take care of her, so naturally nothing big will go wrong."

Lin Hewen couldn't help but nod when he heard this, and said, "What Lin Xi said is not wrong. You are pregnant now and can't work hard. What's more, you can ask Madam Wen to serve you. You can go back and rest first!"

When Xu heard Lin Hewen mention Madam Wen, her expression changed. She never thought that Lin Hewen would start to be partial to Madam Wen, that bitch.

After she finishes dealing with this old lady, she will go and deal with her properly.

Xu nodded and let Lin Yuanyue help her out.

After everyone in the room had left, Lin Xi clenched his palms, looked at his pale grandmother in front of him, his eyes became very sharp, and said, "Quick, let someone take a look again."

This time, Lin Xi not only asked the maid who knew medicine to come and take a look, but also asked Aunt Xu to find someone outside the mansion to ask Chen Xun to send someone to take a look.

After waiting for only three incense sticks, Chen Xun sent not only a doctor but also An Liang in disguise. He brought a quick-acting heart-saving pill and said, "Miss Lin, this is the only quick-acting heart-saving pill that the Third Master got from outside. It can save even a dead person."

Lin Xi's expression became much more serious, and he nodded and said, "Thank you."

As soon as the doctor entered the room, he frowned and asked, "Did the old man eat anything today?"

"I didn't eat much, just two vegetarian dishes from the mansion and a mutton soup. Today, the old lady said that the mutton soup was delicious and much better than the one in the countryside. Apart from that, I didn't eat anything else."

The doctor nodded and continued to give Mrs. Lin acupuncture. After finishing, he came out and wiped the sweat off his forehead. Then he said, "The old lady has been poisoned. The poison is called Wanhuahong. The poisoned person will die of natural causes. However, the body will have a hot flash. If you hadn't mentioned the mutton soup just now, I wouldn't have dared to conclude."

"I don't know, could you give me the leftover mutton soup so I can check it again?"

Lin Xi nodded and waved to have the medicine brought up. She had doubts in her heart when she saw Xu again, and now when she heard the doctor say this, she was even more certain.

The subordinates were quick and nimble, and soon brought up a small bowl of the remaining mutton soup. The doctor just sniffed it lightly, then used the silver needle to jump up, and saw the red flowers floating on the soup. He shook his head and said, "This Wanhonghua is made by mixing ten kinds of colorless and odorless poisons together, exposing them to the sun for 49 days, and then staining the daylilies that people usually eat. The color of the daylilies changed from yellow to red. The person who poisoned it probably saw that the old man liked to eat daylilies, so he added it to the soup."

"Will my grandmother's health be okay?" Lin Xi asked.

The doctor went on to say, "Of course it can be cured, but in this situation, I'm afraid my life will be shortened. You have to find out who has this poison. Otherwise, if someone uses this thing to harm people again, my body won't be able to withstand a second ordeal."

Lin Xi's expression became serious. It seemed that she had to go faster.

······

Mrs. Xu didn't expect that Old Mrs. Lin could still survive. She was worried for several days and just stayed in her own yard. She always felt that someone wanted to harm her.

Only when she saw Lin Yuanyue again could she feel safe, but Lin Yuanyue became less and less willing to come to her yard. She now often went out to buy medicine for Concubine Ruan.

Xu became more and more suspicious, always feeling that someone wanted to harm her. Lin Hewen, who had not been to Xu's yard for a long time, also went to Madam Wen's room more and more often because he didn't like setting foot in her yard.

The holy monk was also unwilling to appear in front of her, but this time he appeared again somehow.

As soon as he arrived, he stared at Xu and asked fiercely, "How could you use Wanhonghua? Didn't I ask you to get rid of it all back then?"

When Xu saw the holy monk suddenly appear in front of her, she fell to her knees and said in horror, "Holy monk, am I useless?"

She wanted to argue, but when her eyes met the holy monk's, she lowered her head in fear, "Holy monk, I was wrong. Wan Huahong has been dealt with. It's all gone now, really gone."

The holy monk looked at her with some disgust, rubbing his Buddhist beads in his hands, and said, "If you dare to do it behind my back, I have plenty of ways to make you live a life worse than death."

"Back then, you used the safflower to kill Lin's first mistress, Mrs. Xie. I helped you achieve your wish, but you actually hid it behind my back? If you didn't use it this time, I wouldn't have known about it. Mrs. Xu, do you want to die in my hands?" The monk, who seemed to be amiable, revealed his expression at this moment. He squatted down, and the pill in his hand rolled on the ground: "Since you want to kill her, you have to kill her completely like you killed Mrs. Xie."

Xu picked up the pill with trembling hands. If she were to kill Old Madam Lin now, people would definitely notice something was wrong, but she didn't do it...

She looked up and heard the cold voice of the holy monk coming from above her head: "If you don't do it, I will no longer care about Lin Yuanyue's wish to be the prince's consort."

When Xu heard this, she could only hold the dark red pill in her hand with tears in her eyes.

Upon seeing this, the holy monk turned around and disappeared into the black secret passage. After walking through the dark corridor, he turned around again, opened a small button on the wall that would not attract attention, entered another corridor, and finally walked out of the Lin Mansion.

And the end of this road is actually the Ninth Prince’s Palace.

No one knew when he had met the Ninth Prince, but when the Ninth Prince saw him, he was like seeing a benefactor. He had been drinking tea and eating grapes, but he quickly stood up and respectfully gave up his seat to him.

"Holy monk, please take a seat."

In the past few days, ever since he had the holy monk by his side, his father had been full of praise for his work, and now his mother had also agreed to let him take Lin Er as a concubine. He was now truly living a happy life.

“Ninth Prince, I have already said this. If you want more, I will naturally be willing to help you. If you just want to be a leisurely prince, then I can only look for another wise master.” The holy monk said this with a smile.

However, the Ninth Prince did not feel much warmth at all, and even felt vaguely threatened by the monk. He seemed to be afraid of the monk without even realizing it.

He didn't seem to know where he came from, but Lin Er told him to meet someone who could help him, so he went to meet him.

We felt like old friends at first sight.

"Holy monk, isn't my goal to be a leisurely prince?" The Ninth Prince blinked. He was not like his mother, who insisted on becoming an emperor. He didn't want to be an emperor in his heart, especially when he saw that his father had to go to court every day and that there were ministers bothering him every day.

The holy monk continued, "Ninth Prince, if you don't fight, someone will force you to fight."

After saying that, he left again.

······

This was the first time that Lin Yuanyue was summoned to Fengzao Palace by Concubine Ruan, and she was carrying the anti-aging cream presented to the queen.

It's said to be an anti-aging cream, but actually it contains powder made from poisonous insects. However, only she and the monk knew this secret, and she didn't even tell her mother.

Moreover, these poisonous insects were carefully fed by her with human blood, and their anti-aging effects were a hundred times more effective than ordinary beauty products.

Concubine Ruan has always been favored in the harem for her beauty, so naturally she cares about her appearance. She has made the right choice. Now Lin Xi will always be under her feet.

Whenever she thought of this, she always felt inexplicably comfortable in her heart. Moreover, under the current circumstances, if the Ninth Prince could become the emperor with the help of the holy monk, then she would be the concubine, or even the queen.

He is the one that all women worship.

The more Lin Yuanyue thought about it, the higher she raised her head, and the harder she walked on the steps of Fengzao Palace.

The palace maid in palace dress who led her into the palace stopped at the gate of Fengzao Palace, and then another person appeared in front of her. It was the most favored and trusted nanny beside Concubine Ruan. When she saw her squatting and bowing, she led her in and said, "The queen also knows that Miss Lin has worked hard and made great contributions. She specially invited the young lady to meet today and talk for a while, just to keep in touch with her."

Lin Yuanyue clenched the box in her hand tightly. When she heard what the nanny said, she couldn't hide the smile on her face and said, "Thank you so much, Your Majesty."

The nanny also nodded and let her go in.

Ever since Concubine Ruan used the anti-aging cream sent by Lin Yuanyue, not only has her face returned to its youthful appearance, but her body also seems to have become younger. His Majesty has been doting on her alone these days.

She also rewarded him with a lot of gold, silver, and jewelry, and in addition to being the ninth prince's prince, she allowed him to stay in Kyoto. This kind of favor was something that neither the queen nor the other princes had ever received.

Concubine Ruan was full of pride. She raised her hand, looked at her red nails, and looked at Lin Yuanyue with contempt. Her eyes finally fell on the box on her. She asked, "You said you have a better anti-aging cream for me to use?"

"Your Majesty, yes." As she said that, Lin Yuanyue handed the box in her hand to the nanny beside her.

The poisonous insect this time was fed by her using her own blood. In order to avoid attracting attention, she had been feeding it secretly for some time.

Her own blood is younger and more delicate, so the poisonous insects she raises will naturally be more effective.

She could imagine that if Concubine Ruan used the powder made from the poisonous insect, she would definitely reward her handsomely.

Concubine Ruan's eyes never left the box. After she saw the nanny take it, she stood up lazily, put on a gold-threaded coat, and said, "Zong Ze is a kind-hearted child. He loves you, and I have no choice. It is not an insult to you to be his concubine, don't you think?"

Lin Yuanyue stood there in a daze. She didn't expect that after working so hard for so long, she would only be the Ninth Prince's concubine?

Shouldn't she be a concubine?

How could she be just a concubine?

Didn’t the Ninth Prince speak up for her?

If others knew that she was the Ninth Prince's concubine, she would certainly be laughed at by everyone in Kyoto.

Concubine Ruan saw that she hadn't responded for a long time: "You don't want to?"

Lin Yuanyue came back to her senses and knelt on the ground: "Your servant, of course I am willing."

Concubine Ruan nodded and said, "That's good." After saying this, she asked the nanny to apply the ointment on her face.

After waiting for a long time, she suddenly felt a burning pain on her face. She opened her eyes wide, looked at herself in the bronze mirror, and screamed.
