Chapter 875: How Dare You Side With Shen Qingdai Always

Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows. “Made to kneel for punishment?”

Xi Lin nodded. She then told Feng Tianlan everything about the incident.

Apparently, Luo Shiyun had met Shen Yunya. When Luo Shiyun walked past her, she fell down. She then accused Shen Yunya of pushing her, causing her to twist her foot, which resulted in her having a swollen ankle.

The two of them then brought this to the Empress, which then led to Shen Yunya having to kneel as a punishment.

“Tianlan, recently, Shen Yunya has not been living an easy life. On the first day she entered the palace, she was asked to kneel for three hours due to various reasons. Besides, my brother did not stay with her that night. Since she is just a concubine, she has been subdued by Luo Shiyun. Her life is extremely miserable”

Xi Lin continued telling Feng Tianlan about other incidents regarding Shen Yunya. However, it wasn’t satisfying enough for her to simply tell the stories. She took Feng Tianlan’s hand and said, “Let’s go. I am bringing you to come and see her.”

“Sister Lin, I’m not going,” Feng Tianlan said.

“Why?” Xi Lin looked at Feng Tianlan, who was still seated and showed no signs of moving, with confusion. “Shen Yunya is being punished. It will be a delight to watch.”

“There is no point in watching. Besides, I believe that Shen Yunya will retaliate very soon. It’s too early for us to be enjoying the show right now.” Besides, if Sister Lin were to bring her into the palace just to see Shen Yunya’s embarrassment, Shen Yunya would start to suspect that Sister Lin knew Feng Tianlan’s true identity. That would not be good for Sister Lin.

If Shen Yunya were to go on a rampage, she wouldn’t care about any past friendships. She would definitely set her sights on Sister Lin by then.

Xi Lin let go of Feng Tianlan’s hand and sat back down. “You’re right. However, my brother has been pampering her quite a lot recently. I don’t know what he is thinking.”

“I heard that He Lianhuang has returned. Did you send him off that night?” Feng Tianlan asked as she raised her head and looked at Xi Lin.

When Xi Lin heard the name He Lianhuang, her body stiffened. She couldn’t help but clench her fists. Her expression seemed weird as well. However, she returned to normal after a short while. “I turned in early that night. How could I have met him? Besides, just let him leave. It would be improper for the king of a country to stay here for so long,” she said.

“Sister Lin, did something happen?” Feng Tianlan asked worriedly when she noticed Xi Lin’s expression.

Xi Lin shook her head as she forced a smile. “Nothing. What could have happened? As you know, it’s impossible for anything to happen between us. I will still feel disappointed from time to time.”

Even though that incident had passed, the memories left were good enough for her. This was good enough.

“Sister Lin…”

Xi Lin stood up. “I have been away from the palace for quite some time now. I’m going to head back.”

Feng Tianlan couldn’t help but frown as she looked at Xi Lin as she left. Did something happen between Sister Lin and He Lianhuang?

However, Sister Lin refused to say anything. All Tianlan could do was stop asking to prevent her wounds from being exposed once again.

Xi Lin rushed back to Zhaoyang Palace. She then opened her shirt slightly and looked at the bright and affectionate hickey on her left breast. Seeing it made her think about that intense night once again. She closed her eyes while curling her lips slightly. Such memories were all she needed.

“Princess, The Crown Prince’s Common Consort wants to see you.”

At that moment, she heard the voice of her personal imperial maid call to her from outside.

Xi Lin adjusted her clothes immediately. “Tell her that I am still asleep. Let her wait outside.”

Her personal imperial maid replied with a ‘yes,’ then conveyed Xi Lin’s message. “Lady Common Consort, the Princess is still taking a nap. Please wait outside.”

Shen Yunya’s face was already pale. After hearing what the imperial maid said, she felt quite angry. However, after considering her current predicament, all she could do was quietly accept what was happening. After kneeling for two hours, her legs were trembling. Since Xi Lin didn’t come out, she didn’t dare to take a seat, either. She could only force herself to stand while waiting for Xi Lin.

A hint of hatred flashed in her eyes. Xi Lin, how dare you always side with Shen Qingdai!
