Chapter 135 Harem Cheating? 1

Butler Shen said calmly, "The emperor did ban the empress dowager, but tomorrow is the empress dowager's birthday. Early this morning, the officials led by Prime Minister Li implore the emperor to put filial piety first, remember the empress dowager's upbringing gratitude to the emperor, lift the empress dowager's ban, and celebrate her birthday."

The king of Qing couldn't help saying, "The empress dowager committed a great crime of rebellion. Does anyone object? Over the years, under the cultivation of the emperor, there have been many officials who are at peace with the Li family in the court, and the Li family is not as beautiful as before. If the emperor wants to refuse, the empress dowager will never come out of the Ci'an Palace.

Su Ying sighed and said, "No matter what the Empress Dowager does to the emperor, the emperor must take into account his reputation. Even if the empress dowager and Li Nan launched a mutiny, as a son, the emperor still can't do anything to the empress dowager. Especially now, in order to deal with Mobei, we Dachu have sent almost all the usable troops except for stationed in Kyoto and other places. Instead of being passively released from the empress dowager, it is better for the emperor to take the initiative to celebrate the empress dowager's birthday and show the emperor's filial piety.

Qilang couldn't help but say worriedly, "I'm afraid that the person who came is not good. The Empress Dowager finally came out. After such a change, I don't know what she will do."

Su Ying said calmly, "If the empress dowager raises flowers and feeds fish in the palace, she can still live a safe second half of her life. If she is stubborn, not only can we tolerate him, but the emperor is waiting to catch the handle of the empress dowager. It happens that I'm going to go to the palace to accompany my sister. Get ready. I can just go to the palace today.

After Su Ying finished speaking, she went back to the garden to get ready. Butler Shen finally seized the opportunity and quickly reported to Su Ying the accounts of King An's Mansion in the past few days. Su Ying has not taken care of it since she entered the An Palace, but the housekeeper Shen remembered that Su Ying was the heroine of the An Palace, and these things must be known. Emperor Wu left a lot of good field houses for King An, and Princess Hui and Chen Bofan were helping to take care of them. Over the years, King An has definitely been richer than the glorious royal children of King Ming.

Housekeeper Shen took care of the affairs of King An's Mansion. There has never been any trouble, and Su Ying, the princess of An, is also comfortable. If it hadn't been for the housekeeper Shen's insistence on Su Ying to know the accounts, Su Ying would not have wanted to intervene. After learning about it, Su Ying dressed up, explained to the two M Mothers, packed up some gifts, and then took Xia Yu to the carriage.

Xia Yu lifted the corner of the curtain, looked at Qilang sitting outside the carriage, and said with pity, "Miss, you went to Su's mansion with the prince yesterday. Qilang didn't sleep for a day. I don't know if he was waiting for the lady to come back. He stayed outside the garden all night. It was not until dawn that he followed Butler Shen at the door waiting for the lady to come back.

Su Ying still said steadily and took a sip of hot tea: "I know what you want to say. I didn't mean to avoid Qilang, but it's not good for him and me to go on like this. When things stabilize, I will let Qilang go. His free and easy nature will only drag him down if he follows me.

Xia Yu frowned and said, "But I can't bear to part with the appearance of Qilang. If the young lady must leave, I'm afraid it will break his heart.

Su Ying smiled and said, "Why, you don't care about Lin Run, but care about Qilang? If you like it, I will promise you to Qilang.

Xia Yu blushed and said, "Miss, you..."

Su Ying touched Xia Yu's face and said, "Well, I won't tease you. Just remember one thing, I am the wife of King An, and this will never change. It's not good for anyone to continue to drag on. After this, I will promise you to Lin Run.

Xia Yu was so moved that she wanted to say something. Seeing Su Ying leaning on the small couch with her eyes closed, she stayed honestly and dared not say anything more. Xia Yu also knew in her heart that the more she spoiled herself, the more she wanted to know how to be. Even if she sympathized with Qilang, she would not let herself mention it, and she would not mention it again.

When it arrived at the palace gate, Xia Yu helped Su Ying get out of the carriage, and Xia Zhi was already beside him. Xia Yu's two brothers and sisters met and were naturally happy. Su Ying asked the queen a few words, and then followed Xia Zhi into Chang'an Palace.

As soon as she entered the inner room, she saw the queen standing in the inner room waiting for herself. Su Ying hurried forward to greet the queen, but was directly pulled by the queen and sat aside.

Su Ying saw that the queen's face was still rosy. She thought that Chu Chenyang should be good to her during this period, and she was relieved. She couldn't help but care and said, "My sister is inconvenient. How can I stand and wait for A Ying? What if the baby in my stomach is uncomfortable?"

The queen lowered her head and touched her stomach and said, "I'm about to give birth. It's good for the child to walk more. The child is very well-behaved, and soon he will come out to meet me. The baby is so good that she must be a clever girl like A Ying.

M Mother Sun beside her advised: "Why does the queen always look forward to being a princess, but if she is a prince in her belly, I'm afraid she will be sad."

Su Ying understands what Mother Sun means. Now Chu Chenyang also respects the queen, but Chu Chenyang is not a long-term person. He can't settle down without an emperor in the harem. The noble concubine has given birth to the eldest prince, and the unfavored concubine Li has also been valued again by Chu Chenyang because she is pregnant. If the queen can give birth to the prince safely, even if the queen is out of favor again, she will have a support.

Over the years, Su Ying has seen how the queen has been neglected, and Mother Sun's idea is also normal. If the queen just wants to stand in the harem, she will indeed want to have a son. It's just that the queen has long been deeply affectionate for Chu Chenyang, and for her, both boys and girls are her happiness.

Seeing Su Ying's thorn, the queen patted Su Ying's hand and said, "Whether it's the prince or the princess, I will try my best to protect him. He is the child of me and the emperor, which is all my hope. I won't let anything happen to him. To be honest, I really hope that the child is a beautiful and intelligent princess like A Ying, and she can live a worry-free life.

Seeing that the queen was slightly distracted, Su Ying couldn't help holding the queen's hand and said, "Sister, don't worry, whether it's a prince or a princess, we will love him well."

The queen nodded with a smile and looked behind Su Ying and said, "I didn't see Xia Yu today. The snacks she cooked are more delicious than those in my palace. Now let Qiu Xue follow you first."

Su Ying smiled and said, "Don't bother. It's time for me to be around. Xia Yu's girl was also idle. She was just there. I thought that their brother and sister rarely met and asked her to follow Xia Zhi to pack up. I thought it was their two brothers and sisters who chatted for a while, which didn't matter.

The two were talking, but Xia Zhi came in and stood aside saluteing the two.

Seeing Xia Zhi come in alone, Su Ying couldn't help asking, "Didn't Xia Yu come with you?"

Xia Zhi said in surprise, "I think it's almost cleaned up. Princess An didn't bring anyone else with her, so I asked her to come first. Didn't she come over?"

Su Ying only felt bad in her heart. Xia Yu has always been cautious. In the past two years, except for being a little presumptuous in front of her, she has been cautious. She can't move casually. Xia Zhi also felt something wrong, but she was afraid that the queen would think nonsense and said that Xia Yu might be delayed somewhere, and the queen didn't care.

After dinner, Xia Yu still didn't find it, but Su Ying was a little anxious. This good person disappeared. After discussing with Xia Zhi, Su Ying could only send someone to search in private.

After dinner, Su Ying talked with the queen and returned to the side hall to rest. Su Ying sat quietly by the window and said worriedly, "Are you sure that Qilang can find Xia Yu?"

Qilang, who was hiding in the dark, silently appeared behind Su Ying and said, "I think the emperor also attaches great importance to the queen's baby. Compared with before, there are many dark guards in Chang'an Palace. I don't think it's a leisure person to take people out of Chang'an Palace so quietly.

Looking at Su Ying's worried eyes, Qilang sighed and said, "I'll take a look around. Be careful. Xiao Jin and Xiaoyin must follow you."

Su Ying didn't start and couldn't bear to look at the loss in Qilang's eyes. She apologized, "I know it's difficult for you. Originally, King An just came to let you protect my safety, and I asked you to do something other than your job every time."

"I don't think we need to say this." After saying that, Qilang disappeared into the night.

Su Ying is still sitting like that, but she can't come back to her senses. Su Ying did not dare to look at the dimness in Qilang's eyes. She was powerless and reluctant to refuse herself. Is this still Qilang's free and easy at the beginning? Even if Su Ying is determined to let Qilang leave, if Qilang insists on staying by his side for so long, is he willing to refuse?

I have always trusted Qilang. Even if I know that he is interested in myself, I have always regarded him as a friend, thinking that by keeping my heart, I can let the two continue to get along with him. Now it seems that I am too selfish? He is ruthless to the enemy and can be cruel to those who hurt his family. What about Qilang?

Isn't it Qilang who is really painful? Facing the person he likes every day, he knows that it is impossible for them, but he still can't let go. And what I can do is to let him leave as soon as possible. Even if Qilang will be sad for a while, it's better than dragging on.

The night of the palace was already full of coolness. Su Ying took a deep breath and recalled all kinds of things today. Xia Yu is just a girl. Even if she is caught, it is useless. This is just the beginning. If they arrest people blatantly, there must be a follow-up. Whether the other party is targeting them or the queen, it cannot be ignored.

"Princess, the Empress Dowager and Princess Li are here. Please come over." Qiu Xue saw Su Ying's distracted and said softly.

Su Ying came to her senses, and her mind turned quickly. She looked back at Qiu Xue and said quietly, "I know. I'll be there right away."

When Su Ying came to the hall, the queen looked at Su Ying with a worried face. The Empress Dowager and Lifei looked optimistic about the play, which was very rewarding. Su Ying did not see any fluctuations. She calmly knelt down to the Empress Dowager, but the Empress Dowager did not mean to ask Su Ying to get up.

The surface of the golden slate of Chang'an Palace is magnificent, but there are bursts of coolness in the night, and Su Ying's knees are faintly cold. No matter when the Empress Dowager wants to punish a princess, no one can say anything.

Seeing that Su Ying's face was wrong, she just wanted to plead, but the empress dowager said coldly, "Princes An's rule is not strict, and it is really abominable to allow the guard to have an affair with the maid in the harem. Tomorrow is the birthday of the mourning family. The emperor has already made an order to do it well, but the people under Princess An did such a thing. Isn't this hitting the royal face?
