Secret Agent: The Devil's Favorite Wife

Chapter 8 Get the Reward
Su Momo pondered for a while, and said slowly: "My Majesty, this year's severe winter, although there are greenhouses to grow, there are still many flowers that will delay the opening date. I am afraid that the New Year's Eve banquet will be delayed, so this old slave came up with such a plan."

"So it's really what you think?" The emperor asked again in a slightly raised tone, as if he didn't believe it.

Su Momo's thoughts sank slightly, she clasped her fingers on the floor slightly, and said in a low voice: "Not all of them, it's..."

Seeing her hesitating, the emperor's smiling face suddenly sank, "Don't be hesitating."

Su Momo was shaken by his voice, she said that being with a king is like being with a tiger, this is true, Su Momo pondered slightly, and said after a long time, "It is... Que Ruoyu."

"Who?" The emperor was a little unfamiliar with this name, as if hearing it for the first time.

"Father, why have you forgotten that there was a concubine Xue who was so powerful in the former Chu Dynasty. After our army broke through the gate of the former Chu city, Concubine Xue was imprisoned in the cold palace. Later, she died of dystocia, leaving only one Daughter, this daughter is Que Ruoyu." Quan Molin briefly explained Que Ruoyu's identity, and he was also surprised that everything in Feixia Palace today was due to her.

The queen's face froze slightly, how did this Madam Su handle this matter, and she was not afraid of bad luck by letting a princess from the former dynasty do it!
But Nanny Su is hers, so it's hard for her to say anything, she can only look at the situation first.

The emperor was still kind to the former state of Chu, and I hope there will be no other troubles.

The emperor's handsome and elegant face was cloudy and cloudy, and everyone was watching silently.

Only Quan Xiaoli's slender and phoenix-like eyes narrowed with interest, and it was her again.

Quan Langyuan next to him frowned slightly, this name was also very strange to him.

"Nurse Su, you are so courageous!" Concubine Qing took advantage of the topic, she was secretly annoyed because the queen begged the emperor for a change of heart just now, now that she caught the queen's pigtails, how could she let it go.

There was anger in the Queen's exquisite eyes, she gave Su Momo a hard look, and then hurriedly looked at the Emperor, hoping that he would not be really angry.

This New Year's Eve banquet was carefully prepared by her, but an unlucky person came out, it's really annoying.

Concubine Qing's eyebrows were deep, and she seemed to say unintentionally, "I almost forgot, there is a princess in this palace."

"What kind of princess, isn't she just a villain!" The queen said angrily.

Concubine Qing raised her eyelids and revealed a meaningful smile. She didn't know what was going on, but the empress seemed to have a big opinion on this former orphan.

The emperor was playing with the paper flower in his hand, and with a slight retraction of his fingers, the paper flower was crumpled.

Su Momo was terrified, she would not have told the truth if she had known this, but she knew that the emperor was sure that she did not do all this, anyway, whether she said it or not, she would find out that it was Que Ruoyu's idea.

"Ah, why is there a lily hidden here!" Concubine Qing suddenly exclaimed, causing everyone to look at her.

She reached out to the green plant with her plain hand, and actually took out a very small lily made of paper from the depths of the green plant. She looked at it and let out a soft sigh, "It seems that there are words written on this paper."

Hearing this, the emperor stretched out his hand to take the paper lily from Concubine Qing's hands, and took apart the delicate paper flowers, and there was a line of small characters inside: When the sky and the earth are endless, this hatred will last forever.

The emperor's fingertips trembled slightly, this was Concubine Xi's favorite line.

Seeing the slight change in the emperor's face, the empress knew something was wrong, she got up and walked to the emperor's side, glanced away and saw the small words on the paper, her teeth itch with hatred, "Come here, let me kill Que Ruoyu!"

Everyone was horrified, it was really unheard of to kill people at the New Year's Eve banquet.

The queen also knew that it was taboo to be popular on New Year's Eve, but she just got rid of Concubine Xi, this Que Ruoyu actually used this trick to hint at the emperor, could it be that she wanted the emperor to accept her as a concubine?
"Wait." The emperor stopped the guards who were in charge, and he looked at the queen slowly, with a deep tone, "What's wrong with the queen, don't you know what day it is today?"

The queen knows, but she must not let a former princess climb onto the dragon bed!
The emperor glanced helplessly at the queen, and turned his sideways eyes to the trembling and sweaty Madam Su and said, "Go and call Que Ruoyu to me."

"...Yes." Su Momo's legs were shaking like chaff, which meant that she would have collapsed to the ground long ago and would not be able to get up again if she were someone else.

Que Ruoyu was also waiting outside the hall at this time, when he heard the drum music in Feixia Hall suddenly stop, everyone looked at each other, not knowing what happened.

After a while, Madam Su appeared with a pale face, and said coldly to her, "The emperor wants to see you, come with me."

Que Ruoyu paused in her heart, what does the emperor want to see her for?
On the way to the main hall, Mother Su briefly explained the situation to her, and she was also stunned, "I never let go of Lily's words."

Needless to say, she understood that someone wanted to harm her, and that person should be none other than Banlu and Qiaolan who disappeared without a trace.

She followed Nanny Su into Feixia Hall, and everyone cast their fiery gazes on her.

Her expression was slightly stern, and she tried her best to be neither humble nor overbearing, calm and unhurried.

And everyone secretly slandered and looked at her.

Although she was dressed in a shabby Tsing Yi, she wore it with a resolute air. As expected of a former princess, she was born with a noble temperament that could not be defeated by this outfit.

She is petite and small, she looks only thirteen or fourteen years old, she doesn't look like a seventeen or eighteen girl at all.

Some long withered and yellow hair hangs down the back of the head, in a simple bun with no decorations on it.

A melon-seeded face without makeup, with a pointed chin, a small mouth, a straight nose, a pair of eyes like a clear spring, clear and bright, with a faint sense of determination hidden in it.

Que Ruoyu knelt down with Su Momo, and the two of them lowered their eyes in a respectful gesture.

"Slave Ruoyu pays homage to the Emperor and Empress." Although Que Ruoyu's voice was not cold, it was very calm, and there was an indescribable arrogance that was neither humble nor overbearing.

The emperor pinched the unfolded floral paper with his fingers, and asked curiously: "Did you write this?"

Que Ruoyu shook his head lightly, "Your Majesty, I have never read a book before, so how could I write such words and poems?"

The emperor's gloomy expression gradually dissipated, how could he have forgotten that Que Ruoyu was born in the cold palace, no one asked her to read and write.

"You don't know how to write. It's hard to guarantee that you didn't ask someone else to write it." Concubine Qing glanced at her leisurely.

Que Ruoyu grimaced, "The slaves have very few friends, and most of them are sisters in the cold palace. Everyone has never read a book, so they definitely don't know how to write."
