Your Majesty, this outer room is painting a pie for you again!

Chapter 720: Things That Have No Benefits

And this unfathomable appearance made them even more confused.

Fu Yubai and Su Jiao looked at each other and became really curious about this matter.

"Madam, what do you mean?"

Looking at the old lady's appearance just now, I thought Concubine De was their ally, but now it is obvious that she is not.

Not only that, it seems that this Defei even has some relationship with Li Ronghao.

This is even more confusing.

The old lady smiled and said, "Defei is an innocent person implicated in this, but the emperor doesn't think so. The emperor thinks that there is something fishy between Defei and King Xuan, so he has let Defei down over the years. As for whether Defei is King Xuan's person... I don't think so."

The old lady spoke with great conviction.

Su Jiao raised her eyebrows.

Since Concubine De is not Li Ronghao's person, this is actually a rare good thing for them.

Fu Yubai was silent for a while before he said, "I really don't know about this."

Fu Yubai didn't know much about the situation, and since Concubine De had always been a marginal figure, he didn't pay too much attention to it.

And it is precisely because of this that Fu Yubai deeply realized that even if some things don't seem to be a big deal, one should not let down one's guard, and Concubine De is one of them.

Now that she had a general understanding of Concubine De's situation, Su Jiao decided to return to the palace.

Whether it was true or not, she still had to sound out Concubine De's attitude. Otherwise, if something really happened in the future, it would be difficult for everyone to help.

When the old lady learned that Su Jiao was going back to the palace, she frowned and did not really want her to go back.

"Want to go to the palace? The situation has basically been dealt with now, otherwise don't go back."

The old lady's only worry was that something might happen to Su Jiao in the palace. After all, the situation in the deep palace was hard to predict. There was Concubine Shu, Concubine Xi, and now Concubine De. The dangers in the deep palace seemed to be piling up, making it difficult to cope. And precisely because of this, the old lady did not want Su Jiao to take any risks.

After hearing this, Su Jiao just smiled faintly.

"Don't worry, old lady. I have always had an idea in my mind about this matter. Now I just need to rearrange everything. This is not a difficult task for me."

Su Jiao herself didn't feel afraid of these things. The reason why she left the palace to discuss with Fu Yubai was just because she was afraid that there would be some deviations.

Now that everything can be explained clearly, Su Jiao naturally won't care so much.

The old lady still didn't want Su Jiao to take any risks, so she looked at Fu Yubai.

She wanted Fu Yubai to persuade Su Jiao.

But Fu Yubai shook his head at his mother.

It’s not that Fu Yubai is cruel, nor that Fu Yubai treats Su Jiao as a tool, but it is because he likes her that he respects her.

This matter involves quite a lot. Su Jiao is a very stubborn person. If you don't let Su Jiao do it at this time, then it will be a kind of restraint for Su Jiao.

Fu Yubai was also well aware of the situation, so in this matter, the only thing Fu Yubai could do was to support Su Jiao.

"Mother, please listen to Jiaojiao on this matter."

When the old lady heard this, her face darkened.

"you……"

"Old lady."

Su Jiao saw this and hurriedly spoke out to stop it. This matter had nothing to do with Fu Yubai, and everything was Su Jiao's own wish, so when she heard the old lady blaming Fu Yubai at this time, Su Jiao certainly couldn't agree.

So Su Jiao spoke up to stop it.

"Madam, if this matter is not handled properly, I am afraid that I will not have a peaceful life in the future. After all, I am now a thorn in the eyes of some people. In order to make myself live comfortably in the future, I will not allow anyone to plot against me in this matter."

After Su Jiao finished speaking, she even chuckled.

When the old lady heard this, she couldn't help but sigh helplessly.

The look he gave Su Jiao was also filled with helplessness.

But what I feel more is heartache.

"You..."

The old lady didn't know what to say for a moment, but she knew clearly that it was their Duke Dingguo's Mansion that implicated Su Jiao.

But since the girl had said so, the old lady naturally couldn't say anything more to her, so she could only agree with Su Jiao's words.

Afterwards, the old lady gave Su Jiao some more instructions before watching her leave.

But those eyes were filled with worry.

Su Jiao gave the old lady a big smile and then left with Fu Yubai.

When Su Jiao was about to enter the palace, Fu Yubai held Su Jiao's hand and looked at her with a hint of apology in his eyes.

"Jiaojiao, I'm the one who got you into trouble."

Su Jiao couldn't help but frown when she heard that.

"I don't allow you to say that about yourself, because you and I both know very well that this matter has nothing to do with you, right?"

They don't want to see this kind of thing, nor do they want it to happen, but since it has happened, there's nothing anyone can do about it, right?
Su Jiao could understand Fu Yubai's thoughts, but she didn't want all this to become a burden to Fu Yubai.

"Don't say that in the future, because these things are not a big deal to me."

Su Jiao shook Fu Yubai's hand and said with a smile: "I don't want you to have too much burden, because... this is not your fault, and you don't need to have any psychological burden because of these things. The Seventh Princess is my friend, and I don't feel comfortable with her being alone in the harem. Those women have so many tricks, she can't beat them."

Fu Yubai heard this and finally nodded.

"Well, remember to protect yourself."

"Ah."

After coaxing the person, Su Jiao entered the palace.

Fu Yubai just watched the person enter the palace and did not move for a long time.

"Master Fu, it's been a long time since we last met."

There was a sound behind him, and Fu Yubai knew who it was just by listening to the voice.

Turning around, I saw that it was indeed Li Ronghao.

Li Ronghao held a folding fan in his hand and looked at Fu Yubai with a smile on his face. After he approached, he looked Fu Yubai up and down, then he hissed and said, "Master Fu, I have always been curious about what good it will be for you to go against me?"

It was obvious that Li Ronghao's question was not a provocation, but a real doubt.

In Li Ronghao's view, his ascension to the throne is a foregone conclusion. There is absolutely no benefit for Fu Yubai to go against him, right?
