Chapter 304 The Emperor's Hint

Hearing that Su Yan'er was going to see Sophie in Lenggong, the maid beside her immediately said: "Miss, it's late at night, let's go tomorrow."

This is her personal maid named Qingcao.

Su Yan'er sighed and said, "Today is my first day in the palace, so I should go and see my sister."

This makes it appear that she values ​​love and righteousness, and knows how to be courteous.

What's more, there are hints from the emperor.

The eunuchs knew that this lord was in favor, so naturally they would not complain and sent her out of the cold palace.

The cold palace is inherently dark and full of vengeful souls, and it is especially eerie at night.

Su Yan'er shuddered and closed her cloak.

The little eunuch carried a lantern and walked in front, "Miss Su, Concubine Hui has a strange disease, which can be contagious. The emperor let her live in a courtyard alone, and sent someone to take care of her."

In fact, the emperor felt that Sophie was old and strange, so he imprisoned her first in Ganquan Palace, and then in Leng Palace, so as not to cause panic in the palace.

"Miss, let's not go in, shall we? It won't be good if you get sick." Qingcao was a little worried, looking at the eerie palace around her in fear.

Suddenly, there was a hooting of owls from the eaves.

This time, Su Yan'er also trembled in fright.

But still bite the bullet and let the grass knock on the door.

Qingcao glanced erratically in the direction of the owl's hooting, and boldly knocked on the door.

The door creaked open, and an old white-haired eunuch poked his head out and asked in a rough and thin voice, "Who is calling the door late at night?"

The unique voice of the old eunuch was especially terrifying in this gloomy environment.

"Bold!" The eunuch who followed Su Yan'er immediately stepped forward and said arrogantly: "This is the new concubine Su, why don't you kneel down and salute?!"

The old eunuch looked confused, turned his ears sideways, and said loudly, "What? A gift?"

Apparently, it was a deaf ear.

Su Yan'er didn't want to waste time, so she waved her hand, "Forget it, stop him, I'll go in and see my sister!"

"Hey..." The old eunuch who was guarding the door wanted to stop him, but was held down by two eunuchs following Sophie.

The rest of the guards had secretly received the emperor's order and did not come out to stop them.

Su Yan'er bravely stepped into the cold palace, clutching Qingcao's hand tightly, trying to keep calm.

Qingcao was even more scared than Su Yan'er in her heart, her hand holding the lantern trembled a little.

A group of people walked through the courtyard of the cold palace overgrown with weeds, and walked to the door of the house, startling the birds that were nesting under the eaves.

"Puffling..." For a while, everyone's bodies froze, and the roots of their hair exploded.

Qingcao shivered and pushed open the door, and a foul smell rushed towards him.

With the dim light of the lantern, one could see a thin and crooked figure curled up in the straw pile on the ground.

Su Yan'er raised her hand slightly, but all the attendants stayed outside the door, and she walked into the house with the grass.

Su Yan'er signaled Qingcao to close the door. Although Qingcao was afraid, she obeyed her master's order.

Su Yan'er walked up to that person and said softly, "Sister Sophie?"

Sophie froze, as if she thought she was hallucinating.

"Sister Sophie?" Su Yan'er took the lantern in Qingcao's hand and moved closer to Sophie.

Seeing this, I was really shocked.

I saw that Sophie was already very old, her face was full of wrinkles, and although her hair was dirty, it could be seen that it was already white.

The man looked like he was in his eighties.

Su Yan'er suspected for a moment that she had identified the wrong person, and called out hesitantly, "Sister Sophie?"

Now that Sophie was sure that she was not dreaming, she sat up all of a sudden, her cloudy eyes shot out, and she said in disbelief, "Yan'er?"

Su Yan'er is now sure that this person is really Sophie, and she also knows the hidden meaning of the emperor's words.

A look of disgust flashed in her eyes, she took a step back, frowned and said, "Why is sister Sophie like this?"

Sophie's expression changed from disbelief to ecstasy in an instant, and she threw herself at Su Yan'er's feet, trying to grab her skirt, "Yan'er, you came to save me, didn't you?"

Su Yan'er shrank back in disgust, leaving her in vain.

Sophie didn't care, and said eagerly: "Take me out quickly, find me a man, man, I want a man!"

Su Yan'er sneered, and gave Qingcao a look.

Qingcao is her personal servant, and she can understand Su Yaner's meaning just by looking at her eyes.

He straightened his back and showed a fierce look in his eyes. At this moment, he didn't look as timid as a mouse in the yard.

Qingcao walked over quickly, bent down to pick up the torn quilt beside her, and covered Sophie's head.

"Oh!" Sophie thought that the family members came to save her, but she didn't expect this to happen, so she struggled hard.

But she was old and weak after all, she struggled for a while, stretched her legs, and then became silent.

Qingcao persisted for a while, then tore off the quilt, tested Sophie's breath with her fingers, and said, "It's absolutely dead."

At this time, a gust of wind came in from the broken window, making Qingcao tremble with fright.

Some people are like this. They are not afraid of killing or harming others, but they are afraid of ghosts and gods.

No one cared about the life and death of a prisoner in the cold palace. Sophie just died like this, at the hands of her concubine sister.

The emperor was concerned about the power and things of the Su family, so he did not kill Sophie. Now that Su Yan'er is here, it is most appropriate for the Su family to clean up the house by themselves.

The news of Sophie's death was known to many people in the palace early in the morning, not because they valued Sophie, but because they paid attention to Su Yan'er's movements.

The queen sat on the main seat, condescendingly looking down at Su Yan'er who was kneeling on the ground paying her respects.

There was a gentle and virtuous smile on his face, and no expression could be seen in his cold eyes, "Get up, Concubine Su is tired from the journey, and she must have worked very hard to serve the emperor last night, so don't kneel."

"Thank you, empress, it's a concubine's blessing to serve the emperor, I dare not speak lightly of hard work." Su Yan'er responded freely, neither humble nor overbearing.

Li Lanxin stroked her belly, which was not yet pregnant, and a coldness flashed in her eyes.

She was promoted to the concubine only after she was pregnant with a child, and this concubine of the Su family was made a concubine as soon as she entered the palace!

Not only Li Lanxin thought so, but the other concubines who came to greet the queen also thought so.

The empress was obviously not interested, chatted with all the concubines for a few words, and then made them retreat.

The queen has been very depressed recently. The emperor was going to be unable to hold on, but he got better day by day.

She was very annoyed that she was timid, and that the poison should be dosed more.

I also blamed myself for not thinking carefully, I didn't expect that the emperor would send someone to secretly meet the mission of the Su family in Beiling, and first bring back the thousand-year-old snow lotus and the thousand-year-old Cynomorium.

This is not what made her angry the most, the most hateful thing was that just this morning, Ruhua ran away!
Had he known earlier, he should have been tied up with an iron chain!

If he was caught by someone who cared, then she might lose her life, let alone the queen.
