Although Imperial Concubine Zhou helped Xiao Tianyao to do this, she has no intention to conceal it to the emperor.

Without waiting for the emperor to ask, Imperial Concubine Zhou repeated her three paragraphs, but at the end, she said: “This concubine truly like Princess Nannuo Yao’s straightforwardness, but this concubine’s mind has always been slow, how can she think about those ideas? The reason is, this concubine listened to Xiao Wangfei’s words. This concubine felt that those words are reasonable, so this concubine let Princess Nannuo know.”

“Xiao Wangfei?” Was it Lin Chujiu again?

“Yes, it’s Xiao Wangfei, she asked someone to give me a message today.” Imperial Concubine Zhou knew that the emperor hated Lin Chujiu, she doesn’t want to put this matter over Lin Chujiu’s head, but… …

If the emperor learned she has a connection with Xiao Tianyao, she will be miserable.

In the matter of life and death, Imperial Concubine Zhou can only plant this thing to Lin Chujiu.

“How come you associate yourself with Xiao Wangfei?” The emperor’s eyes squinted, obviously, he was unhappy.

Imperial Concubine Zhou sighed and said: “Huangshang, have you forgotten that Zian’s illness has been cured by Xiao Wangfei. No matter what her reason to cure Zian, it is an undeniable fact that she is a good doctor. This concubine owes her a favor, so this concubine also does her a favor.”

Imperial Concubine Zhou smiled and showed a shy look on her face.

This statement was not false. If it wasn’t for paying favor, Imperial Concubine Zhou was really reluctant to deal with Xiao Tianyao and Lin Chujiu.

People with discerning eyes could see that the emperor truly hates Xiao Tianyao. So as the emperor’s woman, how could she try to have a relationship with them?

She’s not stupid like the crown prince, who thinks Xiao Tianyao will truly help him.

“You have a heart.” The emperor nodded his head in satisfaction: “You have done a good job in this matter.” The Southern Emperor has three sons, each one has a different mother. If they start fighting each other, that is worth seeing.

Imperial Concubine Zhou easily resolved the emperor’s suspicion of her and transferred the emperor’s dissatisfaction to Lin Chujiu.

Lin Chujiu doesn’t have any idea, that her sins to the emperor increase because of Xiao Tianyao!

After Xiao Tianyao left, Lin Chujiu stayed silent in Xiao Wangfu for three days. And then, she sent a message to the Meng Family to make preparations. Saying she can cure Meng Xiuyuan any time they want.

Although Xiao Tianyao reminded her to drag Meng Xiuyuan’s treatment so that she will have another means of protection. Lin Chujiu was unwilling to do so.

She is not stupid. If she do that, the Meng Family will really protect her until she cured Meng Xiuyuan’s disease, but they will also doubt her character.

The Meng family were all scholars. With their standard, such treatment will make them unhappy. Unless she will drag back Xiao Tianyao early and give Meng Xiuyuan’s cure. If not, Meng Xiuyuan will be cured, but after that, the Meng Family will surely draw a line with her, which is not worth the effort.

When Meng Daren received a letter, he was quite surprised: “I thought Xiao Wangfei will deliberately delay the schedule of treatment. I didn’t expect a scholar like me ended up, to gauge the heart of a gentleman with one’s own mean measure.”

Meng Xiuyuan smiled, and the look in his eyes became gentle. But, he didn’t express any opinion.

Not all the people in this world are stupid. Lin Chujiu is so kind, so their Meng Family will naturally return the favor.

Meng Xiuyuan personally wrote a letter to Lin Chujiu. The two sides agreed on a specific time and place. The Meng Family prepared the things needed one by one, then wrote another letter asking Lin Chujiu if there are still missing.

Meng Xiuyuan’s letter was very simple and clear, but it can be seen the words and phrases were very exquisite. Lin Chujiu could barely understand 70% to 80% in it.  And because she couldn’t understand completely, she asked her four maidservants.

When she heard the answer from her four maidservants, Lin Chujiu wanted to say that the books she studied for more than 10 years were much easier.
