Chapter 229 Where is the Ambition?
"What? People are back?"

In another Zen room, Concubine De and Concubine Xian were shocked when they heard the news.

The palace servant who came to report said: "Yes, I heard from the people around them that Yan Hou and Miss Xu San were washed downstream by the undercurrent in the water, so they were rescued."

Concubine De and Concubine Xian looked at each other.

If Concubine Shu suddenly fell from power, they are the ones who feel the most emotional.After more than ten years of fighting, they never thought that Concubine Shu would fall into such a matter, even the concubine De who dug a hole, did not expect the emperor to be merciless this time.

Concubine Shu was not stupid on the first day, why did nothing happen before?After all, it wasn't the emperor's mindless preference.

After thinking about it, they could only guess that the matter was too big.In order to appease Duke Zhao, the emperor had to put aside the favor he had received for more than ten years.

Now hearing that they came back, Concubine De's first words were: "What about Concubine Shu? Can Your Majesty ask someone to let her go?"

The palace man replied: "Go back to your mother, Your Majesty has not spoken."

Concubine De waved her hand, telling her to back down.

Concubine Xian glanced at her and said, "Sister, don't you think this is a coincidence?"

Concubine De nodded her head: "The weather is sunny today, how can there be any undercurrent under the water? If there is, there are so many boat girls who are proficient in water skills, so they just encountered it?"

"Then sister thinks, is it Miss Xu or Second Young Master Yan?"

Concubine De pursed her lips, the figures of the two flashed in her mind, and finally said softly: "Young Master Yan can't do it, right?"

Concubine Xian smiled, raised her hand to pour tea, and said in a slow voice: "This Miss Xu San is amazing, Wu Neng draws a bow to kill traitors, Wen Neng cleverly speaks against the Grand Tutor, we have been working for more than ten years and failed The matter was actually done lightly and skillfully by her."

"That's right," Concubine De murmured, "Fortunately, she doesn't have this ambition..."

Otherwise, how could there be a place for them in this harem?
The two looked at each other, both showing joy.

Concubine Xian then showed deep thought: "Sister, since you said that her ambition is not here, where is her ambition?"

Concubine De was stunned, and said: "Today she fell into the water at the same time as Young Master Yan, even if no one sees what she shouldn't see, it will damage her reputation after all, could it be..."

Concubine Xian said: "Yan Er is not the eldest son, and there is an elder brother above him, how can a person like her be willing to be inferior to others?"

Having said this, Concubine De also hesitated.Concubine Shu wanted to plot against her, such a favorite concubine, she would be harmed if she said it.Being so cruel and merciless, it really doesn't look like someone who can be wronged.

"Then what does Sister Concubine Yixian mean?"

Concubine Xian shook her head: "I can't figure it out either. I just think it's better to keep a respectful distance from such a person. I'm no better than Concubine Shu or elder sister. I'm only old because of my seniority, and I can't afford to be provoked."

She finished clicking, got up and said with a smile: "Since they have returned safely, we'd better go and express our condolences, what do you think, sister?"

What else can Defei say?It's over for Concubine Shu. They are the highest-ranking concubines in the harem now, so they should come forward to appease them.

It's just that she always felt flustered in her heart, and kept thinking about Concubine Xian's words.

Since her ambition is not here, where is her ambition?
……

Madam Ye was overjoyed when she heard that they were back.

"Since they are fine, when will His Majesty release Xuanhua Xuanbo?"

The servant guarding her glanced at her, and said coldly: "Your Majesty didn't say anything, Madam, let's wait for her release with peace of mind!"

Mrs. Ye froze for a moment, then looked at him suspiciously: "Impossible! Your Majesty has always loved Concubine Shu..."

The waiter was impatient: "If you say there is no, then there is no. Yan Hou and Yongjia County Lord are safe and sound. It is because of their own blessings, what has it to do with you? Could it be that you have not harmed anyone?"

After confirming that the emperor had no intention of pardoning her, Madam Ye cried out in despair: "No, tell your majesty for me! This is simply a conspiracy! If they really fell into the water, how could they come back safely without finding so many people? This is intentionally trying to harm Concubine Shu! Your Majesty, you have to investigate clearly..."

She yelled like this endlessly, the servants were afraid that she would cause trouble to the emperor, so they simply shut up.

But this shrill cry had already spread outside, and people had mixed feelings when they heard it.

Under the verandah, a lady was full of sighs, and turned her head to persuade the lady Huaiyuanhou next to her: "Did you hear that? This problem of talking about people behind the scenes must be corrected in the future. Don't hold any resentment in your heart, that person you can't provoke rise."

Mrs. Huaiyuanhou kept silent like a cicada.

Previously, she thought that Miss Xu San fell into the water and died, but she was very happy, thinking that God was helping her to vent her anger.Suddenly hearing that she came back safely, His Majesty personally summoned her to appease her, but still wanted to send Concubine Shu off. This is not right.

What Mrs. Ye said was right. When His Majesty heard that they fell into the water, he almost turned the entire river upside down. They couldn't find it like this. If they didn't do it on purpose, I really can't believe it.

They can all think of it, and so can His Majesty.So, His Majesty knew that they were against the general, but still did not intend to let Concubine Shu go, what does this mean?
This is the concubine Shu who has been doting on the harem for more than ten years.

I can't afford it, I really can't afford it.

……

At sunset, Shengjia finally returned.

This Doll's Day has been full of ups and downs, full of twists and turns.

Everyone's heart was heavy, and they completely forgot today's topic.

Probably only Princess Changning was genuinely happy, chatting non-stop all the way to the main gate of the palace, reluctantly saying goodbye to Xu Yin.

"Will you come to school tomorrow?" She just said no when she asked, "No, no, you must have been frightened when you fell into the water today, you should take a good rest for a few days! Oh, then I want to be alone Going to school? So boring."

Xu Yin said: "Princess, don't worry, the Bowen Museum will definitely be closed for a few days, and you should also take a good rest."

"what?"

Xu Yin glanced at the imperial chariot, and said softly: "Your Majesty is in a bad mood, the princess should be more careful these few days."

Princess Changning stopped laughing, and lowered her voice: "I know, father suddenly lost concubine Shu..."

The two exchanged a look, and Princess Changning said goodbye to her: "Then I'll go back first, see you later."

"Princess go."

……

In another cart, the crown prince also asked Yan Ling: "So, you really have an interest in Miss Xu San?"

Yan Ling rubbed his nose, looking embarrassed: "Why do you need to ask questions knowingly, Your Highness? I have already said so."

The prince laughed: "Before you said that you were afraid that people would look down on you, but I don't think so!"

Yan Ling smiled: "Maybe this is called sincerity, gold and stone are open!"

The prince nodded in agreement: "That's right, you don't even care about your life to save someone, no matter how hard-hearted she is, you have to be moved, right?"

Xu Yin's face flashed in front of his eyes, he was a little bit reluctant, but thinking of today's result, he was in a good mood, after all he generously encouraged: "Since you like it, then work harder, I support you alone!"
