Chapter 259: Another house arrest, this time it's still her man
That makes sense. If it weren't for your accident, I would have really planned to watch Su Rong die on her own.
But Shen Zhishu wanted Su Rong to die and Yan Chu to remain on the throne, so she continued to be the favorite concubine.
If you're willing to die, I really don't want to bother with this.
"Because Marquis Su is a brave warrior who has made countless contributions to the Yan Dynasty, I cannot bear to see a capable minister like you punished just because of a small mistake when you were young. I feel sorry for the Yan Dynasty. Besides, the grudge between me and the queen is only in the harem, which has nothing to do with you. As long as you don't help the queen deal with me, then Marquis Su and I can be friends."
"Your Highness, what you said does make some sense."
Su Yan pondered it carefully, and after a moment, he nodded with a faint smile as if he agreed.
"The fact that I can be friends with someone like Marquis Su is because I am above my station."
But Shen Zhishu knew, how could such a person easily trust others?
But it doesn't matter.
She didn't care, as long as he got the job done.
"Your Highness, what are you talking about? With your intelligence and talent, your future achievements will definitely be far more than this. It is an honor for me to have a certain friendship with your Highness..."
Suddenly, each of them is more hypocritical than the other.
evening.
Shen Zhishu returned to the Shen residence and had dinner with his family before returning to the palace.
As soon as she arrived at Kunning Palace, Yunmeng ran over in a hurry.
Her hair was still wet, her clothes were a little messy, and her cheeks were extremely red.
"What are you..."
Shen Zhishu looked confused.
"Your Majesty, something bad has happened in the Cining Palace. The Empress has made the Queen Mother so angry that she vomited blood. The Emperor just rushed over."
Yunmeng spoke anxiously.
Oh no, how can Su Rong be so fast?
She didn't even have time to change her clothes before heading over there.
Yunmeng was tidying up her clothes while smoothing her long hair.
A familiar fragrance came from her, and Shen Zhishu suddenly stopped and looked back at her.
"You shouldn't go first. Get rid of the smell on your body first. If you go there like this, I'm afraid the emperor will really hate you."
Just the words she said just now contained so much information.
Yun Meng blushed, but felt a little nervous when she saw Shen Zhishu.
"My lady, this is also... this is..."
"We'll talk about your business when you come back."
Shen Zhishu thought that he should know what happened.
She had originally agreed to it and had made it clear.
But when she hurried to the Cining Palace and approached Yan Chu, she still felt a little annoyed when she smelled the same scent on him as Yunmeng.
"Why are you back so soon?"
Yan Chu looked at her, somewhat surprised, but with an unnatural look on his face.
If I went any faster, I'd probably bump into someone I shouldn't have.
"I felt anxious when I left the palace. I missed you so much that I came back after I finished my business."
Shen Zhishu was a little annoyed, but he knew that he shouldn't have such emotions.
She deliberately smiled and whispered in his ear.
Yan Chu looked at her in surprise, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.
Su Rong was standing opposite, and even though she didn't want to see it, she saw it clearly, so she rolled her eyes frequently.
What a shame.
The Queen Mother's life or death in there is unknown, but the two of them are showing their love all the time.
What a combination of a scumbag and a bitch, so shameless.
After a while, the imperial physician came out, and both the dean and Ashe looked serious.
"how?"
Su Rong only believed in Ashe, so she went straight to him.
She just didn't understand. How could the empress dowager be so angry that she fainted just because she said a few words?
If her ability to withstand pressure was so weak, wouldn't she have been angered to death by the concubines when she was queen earlier?
So she felt that the Queen Mother was pretending.
"The Queen Mother was furious and was already weak. After vomiting blood, I'm afraid she will need to rest for three to five days. No one is allowed to disturb her."
Ashe looked at Su Rong.
There were some things she didn't want to say, but she was so anxious to ask in front of everyone.
Besides, the dean is here too.
Even if he wanted to protect her, he couldn't.
"What did the Queen say? Could it make the Queen Mother so angry?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Concubine Yue beside him sneered, as if she was going to watch a good show.
The two most noble women in the harem are hostile to each other and fighting to the death. How can it not be exciting?
"I was just investigating a case. Who knew the Queen Mother was so careless..."
Su Rong was shocked to learn from Ashe that it was true that she vomited blood and fainted.
I never thought that she was so naive.
"My mother's health has always been poor. She has not recovered from the shock she received in Lanfang Courtyard a few days ago. Maybe the queen really didn't say anything, but it just happened that my mother fainted in front of her."
Hearing this, Shen Zhishu also seriously defended her.
"Shut up, I told you to talk."
But how could Su Rong not understand such tea talk?
It seemed like he was speaking for her, but in fact it made the situation worse.
"What Concubine Xian said makes sense. My mother is weak and cannot stand being provoked. The queen probably didn't do anything. It was just that her words were a little harsh, which made her angry. Her temper has always been like this, so it's not her fault."
Before Shen Zhishu could say anything, Yan Chu stood up.
"Who here doesn't know the Queen's temper? If she can use her temper as an excuse for any mistake, does that mean that no matter what the Queen does in the future, it will be correct?"
Concubine Yue narrowed her eyes and smiled nonchalantly.
The emperor is protecting his own woman and is hostile to her.
So if he sits on the throne for long, what way will she have to survive?
"Empress, I order you not to enter the Cining Palace unless summoned by my mother."
There is indeed some truth in what Concubine Yue said.
Now that the Queen Mother has become like this, he must give everyone an explanation.
But doesn’t such a punishment make the queen a joke?
The empress was ordered by the emperor not to approach the queen mother? If this were to get out, the common people would not know what to think.
"The Emperor never asked me why I came to the Cining Palace to see the Empress Dowager, nor did he ask me what I said. Isn't it inappropriate to punish me like this?"
Su Rong almost fainted from anger.
Very good, he became more and more cold-blooded and heartless, only caring about protecting his little sweetheart, and didn't care about her life or death at all.
No, even now he might still feel that he is an eyesore.
When she thought of this possibility, her heart ached so much that she almost suffocated.
"Do you still need to ask? The facts are right in front of us."
Yan Chu had a cold face and looked very impatient.
"In front of whom? Were you there when the Queen Mother fainted?"
Su Rong couldn't help but curse, "You bastard who lies with your eyes open."
"I came here because of a murder case. The Queen Mother..."
"That's enough. You still don't know how to reflect and repent. Zhou Defu, send the queen back to Jiaomu Palace. Unless she reflects on her mistakes and recognizes her faults, she is not allowed to leave Jiaomu Palace."
She didn't finish her sentence.
Yan Chu immediately interrupted in a cold voice.
The look in his eyes when he looked at her was even colder.
