The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem

Chapter 25 - Warning

She wondered if there was a spy around her, but then she realized it must have been recorded in the daily logs.

What was originally a private matter between two people in the boudoir had become a public affair recorded daily and reviewed by others in the palace.

Lin Wanyi found this both annoying and helpless.

She could only bow her head and listen to the reprimand.

"The Lin family looks glamorous, but it's only because Grandfather is still in the court, and Grandmother, being a princess, still has some residual influence. But to ensure the Lin family's stability and reputation for generations, you and I must work together."

"Getting pregnant early is the only way out for the Lin family and for us, do you understand?"

Lin Wanyi sneered inwardly. After all this talk, wasn't it just to tell her to continue serving the emperor well and give birth to a child as soon as possible?

And it had to be a prince!

But by then, her fate would probably be the same as Su Fei's.

She understood this clearly, but she couldn't show it on her face.

Since Lin Guifei had said this, she wasn't afraid of her guessing the underlying meaning.

No wonder she kept mentioning the Dragon Boat Festival earlier. It turned out she was using her elder brother's future and her younger brother's future as threats to make her submit.

Indeed, she was the granddaughter personally raised by Princess Rongkang. Even her methods of threat were the same.

There was never any talk of behind-the-scenes scheming; it was always about grasping the opponent's weakness accurately and decisively.

Lin Wanyi felt powerless. Whether she wanted to or not, she was already on this path, and she couldn't see the way out.

"I understand."

Lin Wanyi couldn't even remember how she walked out of Linzhi Palace, only feeling the indescribable bitterness of human suffering.

Xia An, who was accompanying her, saw her lady's worsening complexion and asked worriedly.

"What's wrong, my lady? What did Lin Guifei say to you?"

Lin Wanyi shook her head, not intending to tell Xia An.

Since Lin Guifei had sent all the palace staff away, it was clear she didn't want anyone else to know about this.

The less Xia An knew, the safer it was for her.

"I want to take a walk in the Imperial Garden. I don't want to go back to the palace."

At this moment, she needed time to calm down. If she returned to Yihua Palace and Mu Daying noticed something was wrong and started asking questions, it would be troublesome.

Xia An knew that when her lady was in a bad mood at home, she liked to sit in the corridor and bask in the sun.

But in the palace, the sunlight in the left hall was not as good as in the Imperial Garden, so it was normal to go for a walk.

The last time she came here, Lin Wanyi was accompanied by the chattering Mu Lanchun, and the two of them were talking and laughing, making it lively.

But now, walking alone in this garden full of spring colors, it felt much lonelier.

The ground was paved with smooth pebbles in different patterns, probably symbolizing good fortune, prosperity, longevity, and happiness.

The potted flowers were vibrant and lively.
