Houmen's step-wife

Chapter 352 Counterattack (2)
Empress Ning couldn't help squinting her eyes, and also noticed this question, she shot at Su Wan like sharp arrows with her eyes, and said, "Madame Chu, answer this question honestly, don't be vague, let everyone Hear it all clearly."

Empress Ning thought she knew Su Wan well, and Su Wan felt an inexplicable sense of guilt towards her. Although she felt a little funny in her heart, she was also happy to see what happened. Moreover, she had always been very respectful to her. Regarding the matter of the emperor, except for his refusal to back down, he didn't care much about other things.

Therefore, her impression of Su Wan was that she was a stupid woman who valued love more than fame and status.

She has long understood the truth that you cannot fall in love with the emperor if you fall in love with anyone, even if he is your husband.

For so many years, she has watched one woman after another being favored with cold eyes. Many of them couldn't help falling in love with the emperor, but what happened? Some of those people fell into the cold palace and became madmen, while others They died tragically directly, and some people could not accept the facts after losing the favor of the emperor, and died of depression within two years.

But afterwards, Emperor Xian De, why did he think of them again?
The deeper the love, the worse the death, the more painful and unspeakable.

Therefore, she has been very vigilant from the beginning to the end, and has always guarded her heart tightly to prevent herself from falling in love with the emperor.

The most important thing about her is her status and her two children.

Of course, the emperor never loved her, or in other words, he didn't love anyone at all, and he was a complete loner.

Unfortunately, some people just can't see through it, including Mrs. Chu.

The moment she fell in love with the emperor, her ending was already doomed.

She didn't believe that the emperor would really fall in love with someone.

Even seeing Emperor Xian De doting on Mrs. Chu so much, she never wavered from this idea.

Because, the image of the emperor who seems to be passionate, but in reality is ruthless, has already been deeply rooted in her heart and cannot be shaken.

So, after learning that Su Wan was unavailable, she didn't bother to win her over.So what if she took the credit for her?She can't use it anyway.

Even with the guilt she felt towards herself, she didn't dare to lose face in public.

Therefore, Empress Ning's expression was very determined, and even her tone of voice was commanding.

Unfortunately, she still doesn't know Su Wan well enough.

Su Wan has never been a submissive woman, otherwise, she would not have opposed Mrs. Chang Wu Hou Tai.

When someone bullied her, she would not endure it all the time, she would fight back, even if the other party was the eldest princess, or even the queen mother and empress.

Even her feelings of guilt and respect for the queen gradually faded in the things the queen did to her, not to mention, Emperor Xian De said something that made her feel guilty towards the queen one last time, Also disappeared.

Now, how could he respect her as much as before?
Her respect for the queen has always been sincere, never because of her position as queen, but because of her character that she admires, and of course, some of it is because of the little favor the queen once expressed for herself .

It's a pity that all these things have been shattered by herself now, and even, the queen's brazenness made her feel disgusted.

Su Wan raised her head, looked at Empress Ning calmly, and said with a chuckle, "Empress Empress, I don't know what exactly you want this concubine to say? This concubine doesn't understand."

Empress Ning didn't expect Su Wan to say that, she was taken aback for a moment, and the next moment, a wave of anger rose from her heart, could it be that she still wanted to disobey her order?
However, her energy-raising skills are really good, and she quickly suppressed her anger, showing a gentle and dignified expression that is no different from usual, and said: "Mrs. Chu, Concubine Hu Gui asked Bengong just now, it is Bengong who took the credit for you. how do you say?"

A trace of surprise appeared on Su Wan's face, she glanced at Concubine Hu Gui, and said, "Where did the empress of the imperial concubine say this? What did the empress do for stealing the concubine? Why doesn't the concubine know?"

When Empress Ning heard this, she couldn't help but feel relieved. She almost thought that Mrs. Chu would not listen to her, but now it seems that she wanted to go wrong.She looked at Concubine Hu Gui, the corners of her lips curled slightly, trying to maintain a dignified expression, and said lightly: "Concubine Hu Gui, can you hear clearly now?"

Concubine Hu Gui ignored Empress Ning, and said to Su Wan with a bit of resentment: "Mrs. Chu, you proposed to His Majesty the establishment of the Yuying Hall, and you even donated the money first. It is a credit for this." , don't you just want to hand over to others like this?"

"Hu Guifei, don't talk nonsense!" Empress Ning said coldly, "Didn't you hear Madam Chu's words just now? I personally mentioned the establishment of the Yuyingtang to Your Majesty."

Concubine Hu Guifei was so angry that she was about to speak, but she heard Su Wan say in shock: "So the Empress also proposed to His Majesty to build a Yoying Hall?"

Empress Ning's face froze all of a sudden.

Concubine Hu Gui was startled when she heard the words, then she showed a schadenfreude smile, she just said, how could Mrs. Chu bear such a tone, so she was waiting here?Glancing at Empress Ning with an ugly face, she smiled and said, "Didn't someone mention it just now? Didn't Mrs. Chu hear it?"

Su Wan blushed slightly, and said with a smile: "I was distracted just now, I really didn't hear it."

The word "also" that Su Wan just used was very meaningful. Although she didn't seem to say anything, she seemed to have said everything, which made people speculate——

Mrs. Chu, what does this mean?Could it be that she really wants to take the credit of the empress?Or, as Concubine Hu Gui said, it was she who proposed to the emperor to build the Yuyingtang?
At this time, Mrs. Shen Guogong asked: "Madam Chu Guo, what do you mean, the establishment of the Yuyingtang was actually your proposal?"

Su Wan glanced at Empress Ning, then smiled and shook her head, "I never said that."

Then, he lowered his head and did not speak.

But Empress Ning's face turned colder.

Although Su Wan did not admit it, this behavior made people even more suspicious.

Sure enough, Liu Shi, the wife of Zhang Wenhe, the chief assistant of the cabinet, asked: "I would like to ask the empress, do you have any constructive suggestions to your majesty? Babies and so on, there must always be rules and regulations, since the empress has made suggestions to His Majesty, she must have a plan in mind."

If someone asked this question, Empress Ning would definitely blurt it out after two or three sentences, or simply back off, but the person who asked the question was the wife of the chief minister of the cabinet, the head of all officials, even if she was the queen, she would not dare to neglect her , although she thought she was troublesome, she still showed a kind smile and said: "This Palace just made a small suggestion to His Majesty. The establishment of the Nursing Hall, the establishment of regulations, etc. are all decided by His Majesty and the ministers. What's more, the Taizu has long stipulated that the harem is not allowed to interfere in politics, so how can this palace commit crimes knowingly?"
