Chapter 38

Su Qingyuan leaned against the porch pillar, feeling extremely tormented.

After these days of tempering, she is no longer afraid of going up the knife mountain and down the oil pan.However, what if she was asked to climb the mountain of knives and jump off the frying pan by herself?

Knowing what was waiting for her in the Yangju Palace, she had no choice but to send herself to the door—this feeling of helplessness was in itself a torture that Lu Li had prepared for her!

Lu Junnuo tugged at Su Qingyuan's sleeves, raised his head and asked innocently: "Mother, Brother Huang won't be here tonight, right? Queen Mother, can you tell a story to lull Jun'er to sleep?"

Su Qingyuan closed her eyes for a long time, and broke free from his little hand cruelly: "Jun'er, be good, ask the nanny to accompany you. The queen mother still has some things to do, and she needs to go out."

Hearing this, Nanny Zhu hurried over, ignored Lu Junnuo's protest, and forcibly carried him down.

Danyue frowned: "It's so late, where are you going?"

Su Qingyuan didn't answer, she just lowered her head and said to Luoxia: "Lead the way."

"Please, Queen Mother." Luo Xia turned and walked down the steps without any hesitation.

Danyue wanted to catch up, but Shuxing hurriedly grabbed her wrist, shaking his head helplessly.

Everyone knows that things cannot be stopped by them.

At this time, there were still many palace attendants coming and going on the avenues between the palaces.

Su Qingyuan is the Empress Dowager, everyone avoids wherever she goes, and no one comes to charge her. Presumably no one will guess where she is going.

So what if you guessed it?One day, all the shady things will be exposed to the sun.

At this time, Su Qingyuan felt a sense of powerlessness in the face of fate.Thinking of the young Lu Junnuo, and the cowardly and weak Su Qingluan, even though she was a little bit hard in her heart, she could only grit her teeth and swallow it.

The little eunuchs in front of the Yangju Hall didn't show any extra respect just because Su Qingyuan was the empress dowager.When one of them went in to report, the rest still stood expressionlessly, letting Su Qingyuan wait at the bottom of the steps in embarrassment.

It wasn't until Su Qingyuan's legs were numb that the little eunuch who went in before came out, and said slowly: "The emperor still has a few memorials to deal with, please wait in the side hall for the queen mother."

Su Qingyuan smiled shyly, and followed him into the side hall without saying a word.

The little eunuch retreated, and the maid guarding outside the door did not come to serve.The side hall was deserted, not even a pot of hot tea.

Su Qingyuan simply pushed Luoxia out of the door together, and sat in the side hall by herself, in a daze.

She knew what Lu Li meant.

Tonight, she delivered it to her door by herself, so she was naturally more humble than usual.

Lu Li clearly wanted to polish off the last of her arrogance.He just wanted her to know that she was just an ordinary bed-warming maid who would come and go as soon as she was called, and even the slaves in the Yangju Palace were somewhat nobler than her.

Su Qingyuan didn't feel very embarrassed at the moment.

She has already endured even heavier humiliation, and her heart has long been numb.

She felt that she had almost reached her limit.Presumably, the result that Lu Li hoped to see is not far away, right?

She didn't know how long she would have to endure this kind of life—maybe until Qingluan got married, maybe until Jun'er grew up, maybe... until her father could really cover the sky with one hand and not fear imperial power.

Su Qingyuan didn't think she could survive that long.

If she couldn't make it through, would Lu Li feel a little bit sad?

Su Qingyuan lay on the table thinking drowsily, her heart gradually felt a little sad.

After an unknown amount of time, footsteps finally came from the corridor, and then the bamboo curtain at the door rang "ding ding dong dong".
