Chapter 240
On the way back, Lin Nianzhi still couldn’t help but cry as she said, “I told her not to interact with Imperial Concubine Mei! It was clear that she was not a good person! Mother Concubine was provoked by her and in the end, she backstabbed her and caused her to fall!”
Bayou was heartbroken to see the sight of the princess in this state. She convinced and consoled her throughout the entire journey back to the Yaohua palace, where Lin Nianzhi gradually stopped sobbing as they got nearer.
Baoyou suddenly asked, “Princess, that seems to be the Fifth Princess standing there?”
Lin Nianzhi snapped out of her thoughts and looked up. Sure enough, she saw a small figure standing under the big tree at the intersection. She was hiding behind the tree and poking her head towards the Yaohua Palace. It seemed like the little girl wanted to go over, but was also reluctant to do so.
After hesitating for a long time, she finally turned her head down, looked at the pink sachet in her hand and left with a depressed expression.
Just a few steps away, she saw Lin Nianzhi standing at the intersection.
The little girl’s expression became tense as her eyes visibly portrayed panic. She glanced around as if she wanted to find a place to hide. But there was only the same big tree that she hid behind just now; otherwise, there were no other places to hide and she was standing in plain sight.
Lin Feilu stood there blankly, not daring to move forward or backwards as she didn’t even dare to look at her.
Bayou had asked Lin Nianzhi before, wondering if she hated the Fifth Princess.
Lin Nianzhi was sick at that time and felt uncomfortable in both her body and soul. Her thoughts were full of fury, rhetorically asking why wouldn’t she hate her? She hated the girl so much and she hated Mingyue Palace as well!
But after lying on the bed for a long time, there was nothing for her to do every day, so she opened her eyes and gave it some thought. She remembered her first encounter with the Little Fifth Princess, reminiscing the fact that the little princess had always treated her well. She also remembered that time in the Begonia Flower Garden where she sat on the ground, crying and kicking as she asked why she was avoiding her in a very pitiful way.
In fact, what did the Little Fifth Princess do wrong?
When the Little Fifth Princess was born, the drug conspiracy happened eight years ago and she was even implicated innocently. After so many years of misery, she finally went through so much trouble to obtain her Father Emperor’s paternal doting and was even surviving an assassination attempt by her Mother Consort at the time.
From beginning to end, she, herself, did nothing.
Lin Nianzhi’s Mother Concubine’s pathetic downfall was also due to Imperial Concubine Mei’s counterattack.
Lin Nianzhi may have a grudge against her, but she was definitely not resentful.
Especially now that Lin Nianzhi felt amused to see her being overwhelmed and pitiful.
What are you nervous about? Shouldn’t it be me who should be nervous and guilty?
Lin Nianzhi took a step towards Lin Feilu’s direction.
The little girl took two steps back subconsciously before she stopped again timidly. Her little head slumped and her lips were pressed into a thin line. When Lin Nianzhi approached closer, the girl called out, “Eldest Imperial Sister.”
Lin Nianzhi’s voice was somewhat abrupt, “What are you doing here?”
