It seemed like she wanted to say something, but Su Jiao didn't say much.

After all, in Su Jiao's opinion, no matter what she said to Li Rushi at this time, she might not be able to listen.

Shipin also looked at Li Rushi worriedly, but didn't say anything more.

For them, some things are hard to say even if they are just a thin layer of window paper, not to mention that the current situation is not a good thing for either of them.

Concubine Shi was more worried that Li Rushi would have some complaints against Su Jiao, but... to be honest, this kind of thing really wasn't Su Jiao's fault, right?
But at this time, Concubine Shi couldn't say much and could only remain silent.

Su Jiao didn't say anything. After seeing Li Rushi coming out, she stood up and walked out.

"Jiaojiao."

Li Rushi called her.

Su Jiao stopped and turned to look at Li Rushi.

Li Rushi smiled bitterly.

"Jiaojiao, I'm sorry."

Li Rushi's sudden words startled everyone, especially Concubine Shi, who looked at Li Rushi in surprise.

But when Su Jiao heard this, she sighed helplessly.

"It's ok."

At this time, Su Jiao also knew that Li Rushi had endured a lot in her heart, so whatever she said at this time seemed very tired. In this case, she simply didn't say any more.

Anyway, Su Jiao herself doesn’t really care about these things.

When Li Rushi saw Su Jiao like this, she didn't say much in the end. After the three of them returned to Li Rushi's bedroom together, Su Jiao asked Li Rushi to have a good rest and then left with Shipin.

Before leaving, Shipin glanced at Li Rushi's back with concern.

"Will everything really be alright?"

Why do I feel at this moment that some things are completely different from what I imagined?

Su Jiao shook her head.

"All she needs right now is quietness. It won't do her much good if we stay. Let's go."

Shipin pursed her lips, nodded, and followed Su Jiao away.

Then Su Jiao sent a palace maid out of the palace to report the news.

This person is also Fu Yubai's man, so he can naturally be trusted.

The two of them were sitting in the imperial garden. Su Jiao looked very indifferent, which made Concubine Shi very confused.

"Miss Su, aren't you worried?"

Such a big thing happened. If it happened to Shipin, she would definitely be very frightened.

After all, seeing someone die in front of you with your own eyes, no matter how strong your heart is, you will still be shocked.

But Su Jiao looked very indifferent, as if she didn't care about it at all.

This really confused Concubine Shi.

Does Su Jiao really not care about all this?

After hearing what Concubine Shi said, Su Jiao couldn't help but smile bitterly.

"How can I not worry? But what's the point of worrying? Since things have already happened, there is no need for us to say anything more, right?" The result is there. Even if we worry more, it can't change the original situation. If this is the case, then why bother to be stubborn about it?

Su Jiao also wants to live a quiet life without being involved in any of these things, but... is it possible?

The situation in the harem is very bad. On the surface, a concubine has died, but no one knows how many more concubines are hiding in secret. What should be done if they cause trouble again?
All of this needs to be considered.

Su Jiao had no choice. Since she had already entered the palace and agreed to deal with everything, there was no need to consider so much now. So why should she be so stubborn?
"Empress Shi, it's not just in the harem, it's everywhere. As long as there are people, there will be struggle. This is inevitable. So no matter how worried you are, what does it matter?"

The result is still the same, and nothing can be changed, so why bother about these things?

Su Jiao has never been like this, so naturally she doesn't care about these things.

When Concubine Shi heard what Su Jiao said, she suddenly felt as if she had suddenly been enlightened!

At that moment, her heart seemed to have grasped something, but it disappeared in a flash, so quickly that Concubine Shi didn't even know what to do.

After a long while, the concubine finally gave a bitter smile.

"I am indeed not as open-minded as Miss Su."

There is no such aura of being able to handle things with ease.

Su Jiao just smiled lightly when she heard this.

Some things can never be done simply by saying them. They require a hundred times more effort than ordinary people to cope with them with ease.

Su Jiao herself didn’t have much to say about these things. Everyone had their own choices, the Empress Shufei, Li Rushi, and so did she.

"The situation in the palace will soon be known outside the palace. We just need to wait."

She sent the message not to seek shelter. After all, Su Jiao herself was a proud person and she would never ask for help from others.

Su Jiao can handle the situation in the palace, and now everything just depends on what happens outside the palace.

Thinking of this, Su Jiao still felt like everything was a dream.

In the Duke Dingguo's Mansion, Fu Yubai quickly received the news.

When he learned that Concubine Shu committed suicide and tried to frame Su Jiao but failed, Fu Yubai let out a long breath.

When Zhao Rui saw Fu Yubai's appearance, he couldn't help but be stunned.

"Jinshu, what's wrong?"

Fu Yubai has always been a very indifferent person. No matter what happened, in Fu Yubai's opinion, everything can be handled and solved perfectly. But why does Jinshu seem more worried now?

Fu Yubai did not hide anything from Zhao Rui and immediately told Zhao Rui the situation in the palace.

But Zhao Rui couldn't help but pursed his lips after hearing this. After a while, he raised his head and looked at Fu Yubai.

"The death of Concubine Shu will be a huge blow to her."

Fu Yubai nodded.

In fact, they knew something about Li Rushi's situation. This was the nature of the royal family. Even if a princess was not favored, her life would be extremely difficult in the palace. At that time, Li Rushi was in dire straits every day. If it were not for the care of Concubine Shu, Li Rushi would have been plotted against and would not have survived until today.

Therefore, Concubine Shu has different feelings for Li Rushi.

But now Concubine Shu has committed suicide...

Fu Yubai was worried about other situations.

"I don't know when the Concubine Shu and King Xuan had communicated with each other. She was able to do such a decisive thing in the harem, probably because King Xuan had a way to communicate with the harem." (End of this chapter)
