Chapter 57: Results
In the Qinzheng Palace, Su Ningxue had just left with her front foot, and Le Zhenglan came in with a stack of snacks on her back foot.
"Your Majesty, rest for a while, you've been watching all morning." She gently placed the snack on the desk and poured another cup of tea for the cloud.
Yun Foldhoo took the teacup and took a sip, a faint smile appeared on his face.
"Does Concubine Ai think she will agree?"
"The concubine doesn't know, but the concubine thinks that the seventeenth prince doesn't hate her so much, and the emperor has chosen a lot of ladies for the prince over the years. But this time Su Ningxue had an accident, but the prince was willing to get involved, no matter what the reason, the concubine felt that the prince at least did not dislike Su Ningxue.
Besides, Your Majesty, you are even more interested in Su Ningxue's ability, aren't you? Nowadays, a woman who is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting reaches out and grabs a handful, and it is rare to see someone as smart and sensible as her. β
"Yes." Cloud Folds nodded approvingly, "After meeting her, I reflected on whether I had done something wrong before. Seventeen is different from me, he likes freedom, he wants to have fun, he never cares about this high position, he wants someone who has the same interests and can make him happy. β
"Su Ningxue is very special. Her father doesn't care about her mother's absence, I promised her to Seventeen, don't worry about the turmoil in the court, there will be people who suspect that I intend to pass on the throne to Seventeen, so as to embarrass Seventeen. Moreover, she is smart, and she knows how to make a living for herself in a difficult situation. Give Seventeen to her, and after I return to the sky, at least I don't have to worry about Little Seventeen starving to death, hahaha. β
"Then the emperor, you haven't taken over General Su's military power." Concubine Le glanced at it. Cloud Folds smiled, and the conversation didn't continue.
He did take over Su Jianwu's military power, and he had to leave another guarantee for Seventeen.
If one day he abdicates or dies, he must make sure that his only brother is safe.
Su Ningxue returned to Su Mansion, and the family came to ask her about her situation, but she refused to see the customer on the grounds that she was unwell. Lying on the bed, she only felt that her head was getting more and more messy.
In this life, everything has changed, and everything is more and more beyond her control, and even understanding.
She found that she had never understood Yun Yihong at all, she couldn't get close to Yun Huanan at all, and she couldn't understand what a generation of emperors was thinking.
Two days later, she entered the palace and replied, willing to give it a try and win Yunzhuan South. But she put forward a condition, whether the matter is successful or not, hoping that Yun Fold Hu will last her life. From the beginning to the end, he didn't want Su Ningxue to die, he just hoped that someone could change Yun Folds South.
Stepping out of the Qinzheng Hall again, Su Ningxue didn't go far before she met Le Zhenglan.
"Concubine Niangniang, the courtiers greet you."
"No need to be polite, this palace heard that the emperor called you into the palace today, so I came here to take a look, how about it? How are you doing lately? The last assassination has already come to an end, right? β
"Yes, the emperor promised his courtiers that he would severely punish the culprits."
"Well, that's good. Innocent lives were killed in vain, and the emperor was also heartbroken. Le Zhenglan said lightly, staring at the palace in the distance, not knowing what she was thinking, Su Ningxue said: "Niangniang, do you want to go over and have a look?" β
"Well, that's what I mean, since you mentioned it, let's go in and sit with this palace."
Yes? Su Ningxue was stunned, she didn't mention it, she just asked.
Sure enough, the people in the palace have a set of routines.
"Yes, the courtiers take the order."
Following behind Le Zhenglan and entering a palace, Su Ningxue knew that this was the residence of Concubine Lan, Yilan Palace.
"Do you know why this palace has been favored all these years?"
In the Yilan Palace, there are fresh orchids everywhere, with different colors and different categories, some of which are not in the flower season, but they can still be placed in the Yilan Palace, which shows that the emperor loves Lan Guifei. The maidservants who were waiting on the side served tea, and Concubine Lan waved her hand to signal them all to go down, and then said to Su Ningxue.
Su Ningxue shook her head, and her eyes fell on the pot of strange flowers beside Le Zhenglan from time to time.
"Because this palace is ruthless enough. At that time, the queen recorded the eldest prince in her name by a holy decree, and the palace understood that in the harem, it does not matter whether you have children or not, and it does not matter whether the children are biological or not. The palace used medicine for itself, so that he could not get pregnant again in this life, and there was no weakness, and the palace was unrestrained in doing things. β
Le Zhenglan unintentionally played with the strange flowers beside her, and the expression on her face was indifferent.
Su Ningxue's eyes were stunned, and when Le Zhenglan mentioned Yun Yihong, her gaze unconsciously stopped on her face.
Yun Yihong's life experience, in her last life, she heard Yun Yihong mention that his biological mother was a personal servant girl who had been serving Yun Folded Hu when she was the prince, and after Yun Folded Hu ascended the throne, this maid naturally followed up in the palace and continued to serve Yun Folded Bird.
Because of the companionship all the way, the cloud pleated hoofs are very special to her, and she is usually rewarded, and the discerning people in the palace can also see that although this girl is a maidservant, her status in the emperor's heart is not lower than that of the main palace lady, so the palace people are polite to her.
The queen was extremely dissatisfied with this, and made trouble three or four times, but what happened in the end? The emperor still went his own way and protected this servant girl well. It wasn't until the maidservant was pregnant that the cloud wrinkled hoofs realized that something was serious.
The queen is the main palace, and she should give birth to her eldest son, and in those years, although the cloud folded hoof did not like the queen, she never treated the queen badly in this regard. After the servant girl became pregnant, he fell into a deep self-contradiction, he knew that the status of the servant girl was low and insignificant as a concubine, and he could not tolerate such a scandal to shake the court when he first ascended the throne.
Therefore, the cloud fold hoofed gave the queen a holy decree, on the day of childbirth, the queen was the mother of the eldest prince, and the maidservant, rumored: died of dystocia.
After the queen accepted Yun Yihong, she was uneasy, afraid that Yun Yihong would know that she was not biological when she grew up and would be separated from her. The queen secretly disposed of a lot of people, and later about the maidservant girl and Yun Yihong's identity was no longer known, and there are very few people in the palace who know the truth now.
I didn't expect this incident to change Le Zhenglan so much.
"The people in the harem, everyone has their own purpose, for their family, for their children, only this palace, this palace is alone, only for themselves. The emperor is also alone, he seems to own the world, with hundreds of courtiers who give advice, but he has to guard against what these people are trying to do from him.
So you say, in such a difficult situation, does the emperor need a person who has no distractions the most? β
Le Zhenglan looked at Su Ningxue, and Su Ningxue nodded uncontrollably.
Le Zhenglan is so right, when you have to guard against everyone around you, what you need most is someone who doesn't ask for anything and can't fight for anyone.
And Le Zhenglan is such a person, she has no children, no power behind her, no matter how much Yun Folded Hu favors her, she can't shake the court, and she can't change anything.
This is really high.
"You don't have to look at Hongu with such a gaze, Hongu has also been lost, and when that child flowed away from Hongu's body, Hongu swore that one day he would stand on a high place and laugh at those little people being beaten to the ground. Now, Hongu is getting closer and closer to that purpose. β
Le Zhenglan smiled lightly, and let go of the petals that were being pulled on the side, and the petals slid down like feathers and fell to the ground silently.
Su Ningxue lowered her head and didn't dare to reply.
She felt that today's Concubine Lan was a little different from what she had seen in the past. She doesn't know much about Le Zhenglan, so she can only respond to changes with no change.
"This palace heard what the emperor meant, this palace has no intention of embarrassing you, you child this palace is not annoying when you first see it, today this palace is looking for you, you don't have to be nervous. This palace just wants to recognize you as a goddaughter, are you willing? β
Ha?
Su Ningxue's heart trembled, she didn't bring out the pies in the sky so often, right?
Yun Fold Hu raised her front foot, let her marry Yun Fold Nan, and Lan Guifei recognized her relatives on the back foot?
What good did she do?
"Mother, courtierβ"
"You don't have to think about it, this palace recognizes your relatives only for yourself, even if the emperor doesn't protect you in the future, this palace will not abandon you, and Lord Le Zhengqi will always be on your side."
Le Zhengqi, Lan Guifei's own brother, is now in charge of the affairs of the ministry.
Su Ningxue's brows moved, and she responded if she wanted to.
Listening to what Concubine Lan meant, I was afraid that she should not go down, and there would be no good fruit to eat in the future. Anyway, now she has nothing, two more people to protect, and at a critical time, it is better than no one to protect.
After leaving the palace and returning to Su Mansion, Su Lao Taijun sent someone to call her again, for her attitude of not seeing her two days ago, Su Lao Taijun was very angry, but as soon as she heard that Lan Guifei recognized Su Ningxue as her goddaughter, the corners of her mouth raised slightly, and she immediately stopped bothering with Su Ningxue.
In the palace, when the news of Concubine Lan's confession spread, Yun Zhuhu only smiled lightly and said to Wang Zhen: "Those who understand my heart, Lan'er is the only one." β
He wanted to protect Yun Fold South, Le Zhenglan recognized Su Ningxue as his goddaughter, so he put Le Zhengqi behind Yun Fold South, there are confidants like this, how can Yun Fold Hu not look at Le Zhenglan with admiration, and he is well pampered.
The next day, the case of Su Ningxue's assassination was closed by the Criminal Department, and the holy decree of the cloud folded hoofs was held by Su Zhe and sent to the main hall of Su Mansion.
All the people in Su Mansion knelt down to receive the order. The Cai family colluded with the mountain bandits, and the evidence of assassinating the Su family's concubine twice was conclusive, and the criminal department took them into custody for strict interrogation until all the mountain bandits were caught.
In the end, Yun Folded Hu saved face for Su Jianwu, and did not shake out all the scandals of the Cai family.
"Nope! It's not me, it's not me! Zhe'er, your mother has treated you well all these years, you go and tell the emperor that there is a misunderstanding here, there is really a misunderstanding. β
"Enough! You're not ashamed enough! β
Su Jianwu roared angrily, and kicked Cai away with one kick when Cai threw himself down in front of Su Zhe. Su Ningyu moved, and wanted to help but didn't dare to go after all.
"Master, do you just care about the kindness of husband and wife? No matter what, my love for you was real, how could you be so ruthless? You really don't remember to pick a lot, can you? Cai covered his heart and couldn't cry.
Su Jianwu's face slid unbearably, but when he thought of the evidence that Su Zhe showed him, he felt disgusted.
"How are you? Your good is to collude with the bandits to send you to me? Your good is to pretend to persuade the mountain bandits to surrender, and let me take you back to your home, but secretly raise those mountain bandits and let them continue to do evil? β
"Cai Caihe! What you did was simply a great shame in my life Su Jianwu, I only hated, hated why I didn't let you die under the knife of the mountain bandit back then, but welcomed a vicious person like you back to the mansion, and let youβ"
Speaking of this, Su Jianwu's heart was stuffed, he remembered that when he brought the Cai family back, Youjia Shuning stood at the door, looking at him with a sneer, and the smiling face at this moment seemed to be laughing at him, laughing at him for not knowing people clearly, ruining his reputation for a lifetime.
