"Sister-in-law..."

After hearing her words, Ning Yan couldn't help but flatten his mouth, his nose instantly turned red, obviously trying to endure tears, "I don't know why, but I knew my sister-in-law would understand."

"Don't say these words casually." Tang Xueyao warned.

"I have a sense of propriety. I only talked to my sister-in-law."

Ning Yan rubbed his face, and when he raised his head again, he became heartless again: "Sister-in-law, can I often go to play with you and Fifth Brother in the future?"

"nature."

"Sister-in-law, you are so kind, I still tested you when I first met you... I'm really sorry, I was just afraid that Brother Wu would..."

"I understand."

Tang Xueyao heard footsteps in the distance, and took a step back: "I don't blame you, you can always come to me if you have anything... If I were still Princess Ning."

The little palace maid who had just disappeared ran over, panting and shouting loudly: "Princess! Your Majesty has something to discuss with you, please go back to the palace with your servant!"

The maid who had been watching her also took the opportunity to say: "Princess, go back quickly, it's not suitable to flirt with others in the harem, it will make you feel worse."

Ning Yan sneered: "When did this prince become 'someone else'? You mean this palace belongs to Concubine Shu's family?"

The faces of the two court ladies turned pale, and they hurriedly knelt down to admit their mistakes: "I dare not."

"Hmph! Take back your Shuning Palace's arrogant temperament, and tell your master, this prince is not afraid of her!"

"Yes." The little maids lowered their heads and lowered their eyebrows pleasingly.

Tang Xueyao watched their movements thoughtfully.

Looking at the sky again, it was already noon, and the time agreed with Ning Liang was approaching.

So she got up, stared at the crumbling little palace maid and said: "This concubine always walks upright and sits upright, I just hope that the empress will stop being suspicious just because of any disturbance, it really hurts Xueyao's heart."

"Yes, yes..." They replied tremblingly.

"Sister-in-law, be careful in everything." Ning Yan took two steps, then turned around and told, "I've already bought glutinous rice cakes, and we'll eat them together when you return home."

"Okay." Tang Xueyao smiled at him, and Amei and Alan behind her also looked at him with a kind expression.

Watching the backs of the master and servant leaving, Ning Han wiped his eyes vigorously before striding away.

While Ning Yan was expressing his heartfelt feelings to Tang Xueyao, Concubine Shu was not idle.

She went to the imperial study again to discuss Tang Xueyao's matter with the emperor.

Originally, she only planned to send someone to notify the emperor. She had just been beaten by the emperor this morning, and now she didn't really want to see the emperor's stinky face.

But when she heard that Tang Xueyao was restless in the side room and went to hang out again, she thought twice and decided to speak to the emperor in person.

Tang Xueyao committed suicide repeatedly, which provided her with a chance to reverse the emperor's attitude.

"Why are you here again?"

When Concubine Shu came, the emperor was working hard. As soon as she got close, the emperor closed the memorial and looked at her with a frown.

Protect her like something!
Concubine Shu Gui felt a little wronged, decades of love between husband and wife seemed to mean nothing in the emperor's heart.

"Tang Xueyao is here, and she is currently in the concubine's Shuning Palace."

"I know." The emperor nodded slightly, his brows still furrowed.

"The concubine asked her about her identity just now, but she kept silent, saying that she would only tell His Majesty."

"Ah."

Concubine Shu gritted her teeth, knelt down suddenly, and said with some anxiety: "The concubine suspects that she is going to assassinate you!"

Seeing the emperor's inquisitive expression, Concubine Shu continued: "No matter how hard the concubine asks her, she won't tell. She also said that the concubine is not worthy to know her identity. Only Your Majesty can know."

"The concubine thought to herself, isn't she just to be alone with His Majesty, so as to facilitate the assassination?"

"Yes, she has been married to Prince Ning's Mansion for so long, and all the concubines and concubines are aware of the changes in Prince Ning's Mansion, and they are also very happy. They are happy that Han'er can get such an excellent wife."

"Han'er hasn't seen anyone since she killed herself, but according to the housekeeper, Han'er accepted Tang Xueyao's service, and even let her live and eat with him."

"The concubine also listened to Han'er's speech outside Han'er's door, and her spirit is much stronger than before. The concubine believes that Tang Xueyao is taking good care of Han'er."

Hearing what she said, the emperor's gloomy face finally improved slightly, and his tone towards Concubine Shu was much better: "Then the assassination is based on what you say?"

"It is precisely because Tang Xueyao's goal is not Han'er, but His Majesty, so there is no need to worry about Han'er, but Your Majesty..."

As Concubine Shu said, there were tears in her eyes, as if she was worried about her husband.

If she hadn't pinched her thigh violently at this moment, Concubine Shu would have believed it herself.

The emperor frowned and thought carefully, what Concubine Shu said was indeed reasonable, and it could be confirmed by his previous conjecture about Tang Xueyao's meticulous work.

But if Tang Xueyao really did it carefully, why didn't she do it when he had been alone with her so many times before?

Did you not get the order, or did you not find the time?

Does Han'er know that Tang Xueyao is a spy?Or... is this what Han'er meant?
After all, Han'er personally assassinated herself three years ago.

The more the emperor thought about it, the more chilling he became, and he sighed deeply, wanting to retreat to Concubine Shu to be alone, so he said perfunctorily, "I see, do you have anything else to say?"

"The concubine wants to stand still. Since the concubine gave her three days before, she will definitely do something—for example, enter the palace today."

"Another example is that she only wanted to see His Majesty, but she came to see the concubine first."

"With such a paradoxical style of acting, if you act rashly, you are very likely to fall into her trap. It's better to catch the turtle in the urn and catch it with your hands."

Concubine Shu is smarter than he imagined.

The emperor gave him rare approval. He looked up at her, but saw the wrinkles in the corners of her eyes.

Only then did he discover that Concubine Shu, who had been married to him for decades, had gradually aged, and her appearance was no longer as beautiful as before.

His demeanor is no longer as naive as Cardamom's, but a bit vicissitudes and decay.

"Concubine Ai has worked hard." The emperor's rare soft words surprised Concubine Shu, "I listen to you, let's not arrest her for now, let's see what is the purpose of her early entry into the palace."

"Yes……"

Concubine Shu Gui was still in a daze about the change in the emperor's attitude, and she didn't even remember when she left the imperial study and returned to Shuning Palace.

No wonder it is said that a companion is like a tiger. In the morning, he is furious, but in the afternoon, the spring breeze turns into rain.

Worse than summer storms.

Concubine Shu was still afraid, when she saw Tang Xueyao and her party came back slowly, she really regarded the imperial palace as her own home.

But she doesn't want to have more contact with Tang Xueyao at this time.

Tang Xueyao is extremely cunning, and she may catch her and use it as a weapon if she says a word.

So when Tang Xueyao saluted, she let him go.

At this time, the little palace maid who had been watching Tang Xueyao came up and whispered in her ear: "Your Majesty, just now the princess met the sixth prince in the imperial garden, and the two chatted for a long time. The servant girl almost cried when she saw the sixth prince. .”

"Oh? What did they say?" Concubine Shu became interested.

"The servant didn't hear clearly. The two servant girls of the concubine kept pushing the servant far away. But the sixth prince asked the servant to give you a message... saying that he is not afraid of you, and asked Shuning Palace to restrain his arrogant temper."

"Hmph, what is he, Ning Yan, who dares to challenge me." Concubine Shu looked at herself in the mirror, still in her prime, as beautiful as ever.

She nodded in satisfaction, pulled out the hairpin from her head and prepared to take a nap.

"So I went to file a complaint. Tang Xueyao is only capable of this...you continue to stare at her, and report to Ben Gong in time."

"Yes."
