Rebirth Palace Chaos

Chapter 44

As soon as the words came out, Yao Guiren also felt that something was wrong, so he put his hands together in front of his waist, maintaining his usual arrogant posture.

"My minister is His Majesty's Taifu, what can I order?" Ning Wenyuan has a handsome appearance, even if he raises his hand and stands up, he also has a suave style that others don't have. The man who brought back the paper kite was actually the famous Ning Wulang, no wonder he was so handsome.

A few people thought about it for only a short moment, after all, they were in the deep courtyard of the harem, so they had to avoid suspicion.

"I have heard of Master Ning's reputation for a long time, and I am no longer a person who deceives the world and steals his name."

Ning Wenyuan secretly smiled, this Yao nobleman is really conceited, even the words of praise have changed from her mouth.

"Your Highness is intelligent, and Su Xiaozhu takes good care of him. This humble minister is doing his best, and I am worthy of my little master's absurd praise."

Mei Qing's eyes were lively, and when she saw this, she saluted, "My servant, thank you for your help last time, on behalf of my lord."

Yao Guiren looked into the garden inadvertently, and suddenly remembered the situation that day, and as far as his eyes could see, he saw that goose-yellow white shadow playing on the lawn with His Royal Highness, it was none other than Su Shi, whom she despised the most.

I saw her smile gradually spread out, she deliberately slowed down her steps, put her hands on her belly, and walked towards her, "Su Wanyi is really virtuous, she takes care of other people's sons so wholeheartedly, her capacity is incomparable."

Those words were harsh, showing her family's joy of pregnancy everywhere, even looking at Jingwen with a hint of contempt in her eyes.

Su Yan could bear her being rude to her family, but she couldn't allow her to be unfavorable to Jingwen.

It was only a two-year-old child, when Jing Wen saw Yao Guiren, his face fell down, and he went straight into Su Yan's arms.

Guiren Yao bowed slowly, facing Su Yan's face, "My stomach is not up to par, and it's wishful thinking to impress the emperor with this."

Su Yan hugged Jingwen and bowed her head in silence, which showed Yao Guiren's arrogance even more. Ning Wenyuan's expression was faintly displeased, and he said from a distance: "Young Master Su treats His Royal Highness with sincerity, the emperor and queen mother are watching Here, the so-called justice is in the heart."

Yao Guiren didn't expect that he would speak for Su Yan, so he couldn't help but flicked his sleeves and got up, and asked directly: "Teacher is in charge of too much? How can you intervene here!"

"This is the empress dowager's bedroom, and I would like to advise my lord to keep your words to a minimum." After finishing speaking, he only took a deep look at Su Yan, and left with his robe and sword in hand.

Yao Guiren made him panic, looked at his back with indescribable discomfort, and was so angry that Mei Qing whispered, "My lord, calm down and pay attention to your body."

Su Yan had heard the clues from the few words she had just said, so she started to retreat more and more, which attracted Yao Guiren step by step.

With her temperament and the city's government, she is nothing to be afraid of, but it's just a little tricky because of the right time and place.

"Tsk tsk, Su Wanyi is indeed a master of the middle school. With her pitiful appearance, she can deceive a lot of sympathy." She took Jingwen's hand and said in a strange way, "Your Highness is so honorable, although there is an incompetent Her biological mother, but luck is not bad, it is a blessing to be raised by the queen mother's side."

Su Yan's hands hidden in her sleeves were clenched tightly, and then loosened. The moment she raised her eyes, she caught a glimpse of Empress Dowager Jiang approaching the main hall. Yao Gui was talking proudly, but she turned her back, so she didn't aware.

With a slight push around Jingwen's hand, Jing'er happened to bump into Yao Guiren's arms while crying. Although the force was not strong, it aroused her anger.

Mei Qing hastily stepped forward to help, Yao Guiren is most concerned about the emperor's heir in his womb, he is so delicate and tight, how can he accommodate such things?
She forcefully pushed Jing'er aside, and shouted: "If you are so disobedient, if you hurt the fetus in my womb, it will be up to your father to punish you!"

Su Yan held Jing'er in her arms in panic, and argued: "Jing'er is still young, so she didn't mean to offend you."

"Without the guidance of my mother and concubine, I'm so careless. It's obvious that I'm old at the age of three, and I think I'll become an adult." Yao Guiren only focused on arranging the hem of his clothes, but Su Yan raised his voice, "Your Majesty, what did you say last time?" Jing'er has no mother to raise her, so it will be difficult for her to take on important responsibilities in the future, even though your Yao family is a noble family, there is no need to bully a child like this!"

Yao Guiren was even more disdainful when she heard that she was full of righteousness, "Did I say the wrong thing? How could the emperor be bewitched by you to let someone like you take care of His Highness."

"The Ai family didn't see anything wrong with Su Wanyi, but saw Yao Gui talking nonsense," the voice of Empress Dowager Jiang suddenly came from the top of her head, Yao Guiren whispered inwardly, pretending to turn around and salute steadily, "Empress Dowager Mingchao, my concubine has no such intentions..."

"Jing'er is not taught by her mother and concubine. She is not as precious as the baby in your womb. The Ai family can hear it clearly. Ming'er will tell the emperor exactly what he said, and let him judge the truth!"

Only then did Yao Guiren panic, regardless of the fact that she was pregnant, he knelt down and confessed his mistake. Empress Dowager Jiang pulled Su Yan and Jing Er up together, no matter how much she begged, she would not be moved.

"Yao Guiren thought it was unintentional, so the Empress Dowager, for the sake of the emperor, let her off this time."

Su Yan couldn't bear it, Yao Guiren dared to be angry and dared not speak, so he had to hold it in his heart, Empress Dowager Jiang calmed down, before she left, she said calmly: "Get up, if you turn around, the Ai family can't afford it." gone."

Su Yan glanced back slowly, and smiled charmingly at Yao Guiren who was still kneeling on the ground, and followed the queen mother before she recovered.

"My lord, you actually taught Su Wanyi to make calculations!" Mei Qing hurriedly said, and Yao Guiren stood up on his knees, and said ruthlessly, "I will have to settle this account with her in the future." !"

"My lord, you already have a dragon heir, how can she win?" Mei Qing echoed, Yao Guiren didn't say much, and called Xiao Huo over, and then returned to Yongfu Hall sullenly.

Serving in the Compassionate Ning Palace is not difficult, although most concubines in the harem respect and fear the Empress Dowager Jiang, and rarely take the initiative to get involved, but Su Yan is familiar with the habits of the Empress Dowager, and she has a son here, so she is very happy to be there.

Most of them are doing some tea service, reading a few chapters of scriptures to the queen mother from time to time, and they don't care about government affairs, which is a taboo in the harem.How could someone as scheming as Queen Mother Jiang speak up?

But Su Yan understood that the influence of the empress dowager's opinion on the emperor should not be underestimated.

In the next day, before evening, someone from the palace suddenly sent a message saying that someone from Lingyan Pavilion had come, calling Lan Ruo to go back and deal with matters.Su Yan thought that there was nothing wrong with her, so she told her to leave, and stayed in the Compassionate Ning Palace for dinner.

It was supposed to leave after coaxing Jing'er to sleep, but the queen mother sent He Lu to tell her to go to the bedroom.

The hall was filled with a touch of sandalwood, pure and peaceful, Su Yan walked to the side of the cave lightly, took the jade hammer from the maidservant's hand, and began to beat carefully.

Empress Dowager Jiang leaned halfway on the couch, wrinkles had already covered her not-so-young face. She still remembered that when she entered the Eastern Palace, Empress Dowager Jiang was elegant, very clear and agile, and her methods were very clever.Now nearly ten years have passed, the first emperor has passed away, the queen mother is dying, and Duan Zhaoling is no longer a weak crowned prince, only the wild flowers and plants in the harem are like new every year.

"The Ai family thought about Yao's matter today for a long time." Empress Dowager Jiang didn't open her eyes, and Su Yan knew it was because of it, so she remained silent. What about the Tang family, but she is a rare and virtuous woman. Her son is the eldest son of the emperor. If there is no mistake in the future, he should be established as the crown prince. But the Yao family is right. Jing'er has no mother to raise her. It's hard to take on a big responsibility, do you understand what Aijia means?"

Hearing her reminiscing about the past, Su Yan was stunned for a moment, and when she changed the subject, she knew that she was going to choose a mother and concubine for Jing Er.

She quickly knelt down, her eyes filled with tears, "The concubine knows that her status is low, so she never dared to ask extravagantly to raise Jing'er, but I hope that I can come to visit like this. The concubine does not ask for status, but only asks about power disputes in the court. This heart can be learned from heaven and earth, please have mercy on the empress dowager!"

Only then did Empress Dowager Jiang straighten up and pull her back, "Why are you bothering? The Ai family can understand that you really treat Jing'er sincerely, but the title was given by the emperor. If you want it, you can fight for it yourself. This stomach has to be uplifting."

Su Yan knelt down and couldn't afford it, "If the empress dowager refuses to allow it, the concubine will not be able to kneel forever."

"Okay, let's get up first. The Ai family and the emperor haven't made any plans yet. We just need to see how it will be conferred at the Grand Ceremony on Yuan Ri."

Su Yan wiped her tears, sat on the side of the bed and twitched her shoulders, then said in a timid voice: "Imperial Concubine Yi is most appreciated by Your Majesty,"

"No concubine Yi, the Ai family doesn't like that kind of temperament." Empress Dowager Jiang vehemently denied it, Su Yan deliberately made such a point, and then asked, "Concubine Jing has a gentle temperament, does the Empress Dowager like it?"

"Although Concubine Jing is good, but her body is weak," Empress Dowager Jiang sighed slightly, "Feng Zhaoyi is not liked by the emperor, Wu Xiuyuan's qualifications are mediocre, Zhao Jieyu's status is not high, and Ai's family is also very difficult."

"The concubine thinks that it is most appropriate for you to be raised by the queen mother, and I think your majesty thinks so too." Su Yan took no time to please her. The queen mother's mind naturally hoped that her son would have her place in his heart.

Empress Dowager Jiang then said: "Ai's family is old and lacks energy, so I have to let go."

When I came out of the Compassionate Ning Palace, it was already late, and the twilight was fading away.
Su Yan didn't ask the queen mother to send someone to accompany her, and walked back along the original road.

When passing by Changqiu Terrace, she saw that the dead branches piled up by Taoism were blocked, she didn't think much about it, so she detoured to Qiongyao Pond.

A thin layer of ice has formed on the pond, and the lotus flowers that are all over the pond are huddled in a corner of the pond, and they have long since withered.

Suddenly there was a rustling sound in the forest, Su Yan turned her head vigilantly, "Who is there?"

The deep woods suddenly fell silent, and no one answered.The evening wind blew, and the surroundings were desolate, and the quietness was a little strange.

Her thoughts turned around, ever since she set foot in Qiongyao, there were strange things everywhere, inexplicable dead branches, no one's path, why did she not even see a shadow of anyone else after walking so far.

I was secretly regretting that I was only thinking about Jing'er, so I was too careless!
She quickly turned around and turned back, only to see a white shadow suddenly floating out of the jungle on the right. She fixed her steps and saw something rolling on the ground a few times. When she was distracted, behind her Pushing her away violently with both hands, the force was so fierce and fast that she couldn't resist at all, and fell straight into the pool!
The moment before she fell into the water, she stretched out her hands and scratched, brushed the man's arm, and sank to the bottom of the water.

She doesn't know how to swim, and when the lake was surging, she desperately grabbed a branch of lotus flower root and tried her best to survive.

She can't die here, she can't...

It was dark in front of his eyes, as if he saw her sinking, he stretched out a bamboo stick from the bank and smashed it into the water with all his strength.

Su Yan covered her mouth and nose and didn't dare to make a sound, her hands and feet were hung along the spreading roots and leaves, the perpetrators were so vicious that they wanted to kill them all!
After an unknown amount of time, she held her breath and suffocated in the water, a pool of submerged water, silent and dead.

The bone-deep coldness aroused her fighting spirit, the more people wanted her, the more she wanted to live.

When she emerged from the bottom of the water, she was already trembling all over, the shore was only a few feet away, but at this moment it was so far away.

Su Yan wanted to conserve her energy, and calling for help indiscriminately was afraid that she would die sooner.

Perhaps it was God who helped, and after a while, a figure came from the east.

She trembled her lips, the voice was too weak, after calling several times, the man finally found out that someone had fallen into the water.

Being fished out from the bottom of the water, Su Yan felt that all her strength was exhausted, and she slumped on the ground.

Under the dim moonlight, he recognized the person in front of him, it was actually Huo Yu.

"My lord, I will take you home." His tone was very caring, but Su Yan felt more and more gloomy.

Such a coincidental time and place, he happened to appear here, and his attitude was calmly strange.

Su Yan embraced her body, and he took off his outer robe to wrap it around her. Su Yan took a deep look at him, and saw the faint panic in those silent eyes.

She didn't say a word, after she walked out of Qiongyao Pond, some palace people found out, but Su Yan endured the cold and went straight to Lingyan Pavilion without making any noise.

Huo Yu followed closely, couldn't bear it several times, and wanted to help, but Su Yan refused.

There are tens of thousands of lights in the distance, and his gait is a little staggering, but his heart is extremely clear.

When she fell into the water just now, she touched the man's hand, which was a woman's hand.
