The Empress Arrives: Rebirth of Concubine Hua

Chapter 174: Breaking the Pot
Su Peisheng frowned as he looked at Shu who was crying and making a fuss in front of him. The eunuch who followed him immediately held Shu down and asked worriedly.

"Manager Su, what should we do?"

Su Peisheng stretched out his hand holding the whisk and knocked the little eunuch on the head.

"Stupid thing, what should I do? Are you really waiting for her to make trouble in front of the emperor? You have disturbed the emperor, how many heads do you have? Just drag him to the cold palace and that's it, and you're still asking! You don't even know how you died if you work like this!"

The young eunuch nodded timidly to Su Peisheng, then turned around and tried to pull Shu with a ferocious look on his face.

But this young eunuch was really inexperienced and didn't understand that people at the end of their rope would rise up in resistance.

Shu's flurry of punches, which were enough to kill the master, actually made the young eunuch unable to resist. During the struggle, Shu took advantage of the opportunity to grab the young eunuch's hand and bit it hard.

The young eunuch felt pain and slapped Shu's head hard, but Shu was so fierce that she tore off a piece of flesh from the young eunuch's hand.

There were two young eunuchs nearby who were stunned by this sudden change. By the time they reacted, Shu had already thrown off her shoes with clogged soles and ran out barefoot.

Su Peisheng said anxiously.

"You little bastards! Chase them now!"

After saying that, Su Peisheng also hurriedly chased after them, leaving behind the young eunuch whose hand Shu had bitten off a piece of flesh, rolling on the ground in pain. In the chaos, Shu's personal maid Zijing disappeared.

After all, eunuchs have physical disabilities. It's okay for them to just walk briskly on a daily basis, but when they run, they are obviously restricted by their bodies.

Driven by the desire to survive, Shu ran so fast that she left the two young eunuchs far behind.

When Su Peisheng went to Jiaolu Pavilion to announce the decree to banish Shu to the cold palace, he mentioned that the emperor was angry because of the Meiwuxiang Cake.

At this time, Shu was not sure where the emperor was, but she thought he should still be waiting for Su Peisheng to report in the Yikun Palace, so Shu kept running towards the Yikun Palace.

The palace maids and eunuchs on the palace road had no idea what was going on. They just watched a woman who looked like a young lady running wildly, and did not dare to step forward to stop her, so Shu ran all the way to the gate of Yiku Palace.

"I beg to see your Majesty! Your Majesty! Please see me! Your Majesty!"

The young eunuch at the gate of Yikun Palace stopped Shu, and Shu shouted loudly.

When the two eunuchs who were chasing them arrived, Xiao Linzi had just ordered the eunuchs at the door to let Shu in. However, as soon as Shu entered the Yikun Palace, the door of the Yikun Palace was closed from the inside.

Shu looked in astonishment at the palace servants of Yikun Palace closing the palace gate. She then looked again to see that the emperor's long-time eunuchs and guards were not standing in the courtyard of Yikun Palace. Only then did she realize that the emperor was not there.

She turned around and tried to run, but it was too late. Xiao Linzi showed no mercy and kicked Shu in the knee, knocking her to the ground.

Songzhi helped Nian Shilan walk out of the hall. Nian Shilan looked down at Shu who was being pressed down by Xiao Linzi in the courtyard of Yiku Palace.

"Let me go! I want to see the emperor! Let me go!"

Shu continued to struggle, and Xiao Linzi spat at her.

"Bah! To see the Emperor? You are not worthy! Our Queen had begged the Emperor to spare your life, but you barged in without knowing what was good for you! Now that you are here, don't leave!"

Upon hearing this, Mrs. Shu raised her head and glared at Nian Shilan fiercely.

"I want to see the emperor!"

Nian Shilan seemed to have heard something funny. She took a few steps forward, but still stood on the high steps, and said with a smile, "Listen, she still calls herself a concubine. I didn't know that this woman can be so thick-skinned that it's amazing."

Shu looked extremely embarrassed at this moment. When she took off her shoes and ran out of Jiaolu Pavilion, she was only wearing socks on her feet. However, one of her socks was lost while she was running, and the remaining one was worn out and turned black.

The blood of the eunuch she had bitten was still flowing from the corner of her mouth to her chin. Her hair, which originally had few ornaments, was scattered, and strands of it fell on her shoulders. Her clothes, which were pressed to the ground by Xiao Linzi, were covered with dirt and mud.

Shu refused to accept it. Why did Concubine Hua not have to do anything and was always favored by the Emperor and had such a good family background to back her up? Why did she have to lie dormant for so many years, trying hard to stay alive and live a better life, but ended up with such an undignified end!
"Bah! Which woman in the entire palace has a face as thick as you, Concubine Hua?!"

Shu cursed viciously, and Xiao Linzi slapped her twice on both sides without waiting for Nian Shilan's instructions.

Seeing Shu's desperate struggle and desperate look, Nian Shilan simply called all the servants in the yard over.

"Today, I will let you see how this originally gentle woman will turn into an ugly face when she has the intention to harm others and her intention is discovered."

Nian Shilan said to Shu.

"I am not surprised at all that you are today, but you want to see the emperor today, but that is impossible. The emperor is summoning the military ministers in the Yangxin Palace right now. Even if I let you go, you can try to see if you have the luck to walk to the Yangxin Palace."

When Shu listened to Nian Shilan's words, her eyes suddenly lit up, like a dying fish feeling a few drops of rain.

"As long as you let me go, I will see the emperor and ask for his forgiveness!"

Nian Shilan burst out laughing and covered her mouth only when she had laughed enough.

"You are indeed a daydreamer. When did I agree to let you go? You said you had such a good skill in making incense, but you only wanted to harm people. It was by chance that I fell into your trap. Xiao Linzi, go see if Eunuch Su is outside the door. If he is, please come in."

Xiao Linzi pulled out a rope from his sleeve like a magician, tied up Shu tightly in no time, kicked her aside, and then ran to the door.

Shu's image had been completely ruined and she no longer cared about anything. She started cursing behind Xiao Linzi.

"You little dog slave! How dare you do this to me! You will die a miserable death!"

When Su Peisheng chased to the gate of Yikun Palace, the gate had just been closed. He was pacing anxiously outside the gate of Yikun Palace at this time. How would he report to the emperor?

Xiao Linzi opened the door and stuck his head out.

"Eunuch Su, our master wants to see you."

Su Peisheng quickly took two steps into the Yikun Palace. When he looked up, he saw Nian Shilan standing in the corridor. Su Peisheng knelt down, which was rare for him.

"Please forgive me, Concubine Hua. It was my fault for not doing my job well that Shu Da Ying offended you! I will take her to the cold palace right now. Please forgive me, Concubine Hua!"

Nian Shilan smiled and signaled Xiao Linzi to help Su Peisheng up.

"Please stand up, Eunuch Su. I don't blame you. You know, I originally pleaded for her in front of the emperor. I also thought that as long as she told the mastermind behind it, I would ask the emperor to release her from the cold palace in a few days. But she didn't repent and broke in. Now, I have no choice but to tie her up and make plans."

Su Peisheng's eyes rolled, and he immediately understood that Concubine Hua didn't believe that these two incidents were Shu's ideas alone. So he stood up, flicked his whisk, and said to Shu.

"Shu Da Ying, I am sorry for offending you just now. But I am also following the orders of the emperor. Why do you do this? You can live a good life, but you have to do something like this to hurt people. I don't know if the people behind you feel sorry for you."
