Chapter 362: Reply Lose Face
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 Yaos straightforwardness, but this concubines mind has always been slow, how can she think about those ideas? The reason is, this concubine listened to Xiao Wangfeis words. This concubine felt that those words are reasonable, so this concubine let Princess Nannuo know.
Xiao Wangfei? Was it Lin Chujiu again?
Yes, its Xiao Wangfei, she asked someone to give me a message today. Imperial Concubine Zhou knew that the emperor hated Lin Chujiu, she doesnt want to put this matter over Lin Chujius 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 emperors eyes squinted, obviously, he was unhappy.
Imperial Concubine Zhou sighed and said: Huangshang, have you forgotten that Zians 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 wasnt 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 emperors woman, how could she try to have a relationship with them?
Shes 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 emperors suspicion of her and transferred the emperors dissatisfaction to Lin Chujiu.

Lin Chujiu doesnt 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 Xiuyuans 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 Xiuyuans 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 Xiuyuans 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 didnt expect a scholar like me ended up, to gauge the heart of a gentleman with ones own mean measure.
Meng Xiuyuan smiled, and the look in his eyes became gentle. But, he didnt 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 Xiuyuans 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 couldnt 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.
* To gauge the heart of a gentleman with ones own mean measure (Idiom) Judging unfairly a noble person with own despicable mind.
After reading the letter, Lin Chujiu write a reply. Her words were straightforward and very simple. Feicui inadvertently took a glance, then whispered: Wangfei, if we sent out this letter, wont Meng Gongzi think that you despised them?
Feicui tried to persuade Lin Chujiu to save her face. but Lin Chujiu didnt bother to listen at all: I can only write this way. She was lucky enough that she didnt make any mistake while writing.
Or Wangfei, should this slave try to write? You can just dictate them again. If this letter was sent out, their Xiao Wangfu will lose a face.
Lin Chujiu was about to nod, but then she changed her mind. She thinks it was unnecessary: It doesnt matter. My writing is only at this level. The whole capital knows that I, Xiao Wangfei is good for nothing. So, I dont think I need to pretend as a talented woman. Meng Family will understand. Its not that Lin Chujiu was scared to pretend, but more like, she was afraid of revelation.
Feicui wanted to open her mouth again, but seeing Lin Chujius face looked firm. She only took the letter silently, then folded more than a dozen piece of papers and put it in the envelope, but
The letter was too thick, she cannot put them all on the envelope!
Left without other choices, Feicui personally made an envelope and sent out the letter. She also specifically looked for Housekeeper Cao to ask him to order a large envelope, so that their Wangfei can use it whenever she wants.
Feicui thinks that their Wangfei only has this kind of ability to write letters. Maybe she stayed like this in this life. At least, they are prepared the next time.

Without question, when Meng Xiuyuan saw the thick stack of the letter, he was scared.
Xiao Wangfei still have so many requests? Meng Xiuyuan said inside his heart, the way he opened the letter was still as elegant as ever, but obviously, this time, his actions were much faster than usual. However, after reading, he doesnt know whether he should laugh or cry
Only a few words were written on a paper, Lin Chujiu wrote a simple paragraph in the letter but the characters were very large. A single piece of paper doesnt have much content.
In the end, the rumor about Xiao Wangfei could only recognize a few characters were true.
Meng Xiuyuan admired Lin Chujiu. Even knowing that she lacks the talent to write, she personally wrote the letter, she didnt look for someone else to write.
However, looking at Lin Chujius simple, but straightforward words. Meng Xiuyuan finds it more interesting and comfortable than those people with a hard and obscure way of writing.
When Meng Xiuyuan wrote a reply to Lin Chujiu, he no longer used an exquisite line of vocabularies. He only writes as if he was chatting with her, which he also find easy and comfortable, so his reply was much thicker than before.
How thoughtful. When Lin Chujiu saw Meng Xiuyuans reply, she knew he considered her shortcoming, so he tried to be considerate.
Feicui bowed her head and didnt say anything. She only said inside her heart: Sure enough, their face was thrown away.

The relationship between Lin Chujiu and Meng Family was not a secret. The emperor received the news on the same day. For Lin Chujius behavior this time, the emperor doesnt know whether he should praise her cleverness or think that she was stupid.
Meng Xiuyuans illness is good protection to her, those who give Meng Familys a face are afraid to make a move.
However, because Lin Chujiu has a high status, the Meng Family will just sit idly. They will only watch until the end, who will play high.
Xiao Tianyao was not in the capital, so the things in the capital became more interesting.
The emperor was in a good mood. When Imperial Doctor Qin finished checking his pulse, he asked: Imperial Doctor Qin, speak, when do you think Tianyao will find out that he has a problem in his body?
The earliest is after three months. The poison was invented by Imperial Doctor Qin, so he has absolute confidence.
Three months, the time is just right. Zhen hopes he could hold it until he wins the war. When he remembered the battle in the front line, the emperor couldnt help but sigh. He appreciates Xiao Tianyaos ability, but he couldnt let him grow wings again
