Lin Chu narrowed his eyes and bent down to pick up the palace gauze fan.
"Master Hua, your..."
When I poked my head out, it was quiet inside the courtyard. Where could I find Hua Yi?
Lin Chu retreated into the room, glanced at the palace fan in his hand, his expression changed suddenly, and he clenched the palace fan tightly.
"This...this is...?"
Under the sun, the palace fan held by Lin Chu's fingertips was small and delicate.
The surface of the fan resembles a five-petaled plum blossom in full bloom. The fan handle is carved from ebony, and is decorated with a full-bodied Panlong jade jade. The tentacles are smooth, and it is obvious that it has been played with frequently.
Lin Chu's eyes were firmly locked on the five-petaled plum fan in his hand.
The silk fan is light and thin, with a lifelike embroidered picture of a beautiful woman viewing flowers.
No matter how you look at it, this is a fan of excellent workmanship. But it is just an ordinary fan that can be seen everywhere in the palace.
However, if you take a closer look, you will find that this fan is full of weirdness.
On the fan, peonies are in full bloom, and flowers are in clusters. Among the flowers, blooms are faintly visible on the highest branches.
The peonies are very gorgeous and eye-catching. Although the hibiscus only shows through the cracks of the peonies, it cannot conceal its beauty and proudness on the branches.
In front of the flowers, the back of a slim woman in palace clothes jumped up, hooking the lotus with one hand, and clearly holding a shining golden scissor in the other hand, approaching the lotus without hesitation.
Behind her, a thin young man hid under a tree and watched. He seemed dissatisfied with his posture, but in the end he said nothing.
This embroidery...
Lin Chu took a deep breath, and his eyes flashed with red light.
This fan has a lot of meaning!
Peonies are delicate and noble flowers, and only queens and queens in the harem can use them for decoration.
The hibiscus is originally aquatic. It emerges from the mud and is unstained by nature. It is noble and pure. It stands abundantly among the peonies, making it look abrupt and eye-catching.
The Princess Protector of Western Chu has always loved hibiscus, and the hibiscus in Princess Protector's mansion was a popular sight in Beijing many years ago.
So, the hibiscus that towers over the peony is the protector of the country?
The woman in palace clothes wants to cut off the hibiscus, which is a clear metaphor for getting rid of the Princess Protector, cleaning up the harem, and returning the Peony family to dominance.
Look at that woman's figure, although she is slim and graceful, but she staggers a bit when she raises her hands to hold the scissors, as if she is a bit old. Is this... the Queen Mother?
And if he didn't think so, the young man watching from behind the tree would definitely be the current emperor of Western Chu, Duan Mulang.
Lin Chu clenched her fingers tightly. The then high-ranking Princess Protector suddenly died overnight. Although she felt it was strange, she never thought too much about it because it had nothing to do with her.
Now look at this palace fan... It turns out that the Princess Protector was really harmed by someone?! And the person who killed her was... the current Queen Mother and the Emperor!
Lin Chu's fingers trembled slightly, feeling that it looked like a sharp blade. Once it was taken out of the sheath, blood would drip from it.
She couldn't imagine how Duanmuyan would deal with herself after knowing the truth. Her relatives who cared so much about her were the real tigers, leopards and wolves!
Back then, the Princess Protector was an umbrella for Xi Chu. When she was weak, she could protect her from the wind and rain. Once the weather was clear, she became an unnecessary thing that blocked the light.
There is no room for two tigers in one mountain, and Duan Mulang has grown up, got married, and is now in charge, so Western Chu no longer needs a princess to rule the country?
Nothing is more reassuring than the dead.
Therefore, Queen Mother Zhang took action herself.
That is the little girl’s grandmother and the biological mother of the Princess Protector!
And at that time, what did the uncle she said loved her most do?
I just hid on the sidelines and watched, choosing... to enjoy the results.
Over the years that followed, Duanmuyan enjoyed the treatment of a princess as a princess.
Not because she is cute, nor because her emperor uncle loves her so much, but because of guilt!
