Chapter 104: Proper Innocence

Shu Shiyu didn't respond to her words, and lowered her eyes and looked at her side in a daze.

Cui Zhi seemed to remember something, and said, "By the way, Tian Cairen just went back, and sent someone to bring a box of snacks." โ€

Shu's pupils were shocked, and he raised his head and hurriedly asked, "Where is it?" โ€

Cui Zhi felt that today's Shu Shiyu was a little strange, but she still obediently brought the snacks placed on the table, and while handing them to Shu Shiyu, she asked, "Niang Niang is hungry?" โ€

Shu Shiyu opened the lid of the box and swept his gaze on the peach blossom cake. She smiled and looked up at Cuizhi and said softly, "Yes, I'm so hungry!" โ€

Cui Zhi covered her mouth and smiled, "I know that Niangniang is hungry, Niangniang, you eat some snacks first, and the slave maid will go to the small kitchen and ask them to cook some delicious food for Niangniang." โ€

The maid sent Cuizhi out, and the smile on her face disappeared the moment the door of the dormitory closed. She lowered her head and picked up the peach blossom cake, gently broke it, and a small note leaked out.

She pulled out the note and slowly opened it with her fingers. "Hua Qingrao is put for the time being, and Tiancai people will kill her." A line of words appeared clearly in front of her eyes, and her hand holding the note trembled, and then held it tightly in the palm of her hand.

What does the father-in-law mean by this, is he asking her to blame Tiancai for her illness?

Shushu put the snack box aside, stepped out of bed and lit a candle, and placed the note in his hand on the burning flame.

The moment the flame touched the note, it engulfed it in an instant. The handwriting faded into view, leaving only bits of ash on the ground.

Hua Qingrao grabbed the tail of the ink ingot with her fingers and twisted it gently on the inkstone. She tilted her head sideways and looked curiously at Zhao Xuan, who was beside her with a focused face, and the green silk in her ears was falling, with a different style.

Zhao Xuan held a brush in his hand, dropped it on the rice paper on the table, ticked and skimmed, and wrote the words "Hua Qingrao" with confidence on his face.

"Gorgeous pink and charming, charming and delicate." He put down the pen in his hand with satisfaction, turned his head sideways to Hua Qingrao's eyes, and said softly word by word.

Hua Qingrao smiled shyly and said coquettishly: "Everyone! โ€

Zhao Xuan saw that her pair of spiritual eyes were looking forward to it, her cheeks were crimson, her face was like a peach blossom, and her smile was full of charm, and her heart suddenly felt as if she was scratched by a little wild cat. With a wave of his hand, he grabbed her slender waist and took her into his arms, bowing his head and burying his face in her fair and delicate neck.

As soon as Yuan Lu pushed open the door of the Chongzheng Palace, he saw the emperor in a bright yellow dragon robe sitting on the throne, holding a stunning beauty in his arms, he was bowing his head and whispering something in her ear. When the beauty heard this, she sighed and hung her face shyly in the emperor's arms.

Yuan Lu immediately lowered his head, knelt on the ground respectfully and said, "Everyone, the little one has something important to report." โ€

Hua Qingrao glanced sideways and saw Yuan Lu kneeling on the ground, his body stiffened, and he hurriedly stood up from Zhao Xuan, retreated to the side behind the screen to tidy up his clothes.

Zhao Xuan's face was a little unhappy, he glanced at Hua Qingrao's direction, and said in a low voice: "What's the matter?" โ€

Yuan Lu lowered his head, "Everyone, the Xin servant of Yaohua Hall hanged himself to death, and was rescued after being discovered by the guards." Then he took the opportunity to run out of the hall, and actually injured the servant who was walking in the courtyard. โ€

Hua Qingrao, who was behind the screen, heard this, her pupils shook, and she walked out slowly, standing quietly behind Zhao Xuan.

A cold and fierce light appeared in Zhao Xuan's eyes, he stood up and grabbed Hua Qingrao's hanging hand, and said coldly: "Go!" Let's see what kind of tricks she has to play! โ€

Hua Qingrao followed Zhao Xuan to the Yaohua Palace, and Zhao Xuan held her hand tightly all the way, making her restless heart a little calm.

She looked at the handsome young emperor beside her, and suddenly had a thought, if she hadn't experienced those griefs, would he be a good match for her.

Then, she shook her head and vetoed this idea, since ancient times, the most ruthless thing is the emperor's family, so neither Zhao Xuan nor Zhao Yu in front of her will be the choice for her to settle down. In this life, she only seeks to hold the hand of one person, stay away from right and wrong, and settle down for the rest of her life.

By the time they walked into the Yaohua Palace, the queen was already sitting at the top. As soon as Zhao Xuan entered the door, the queen slowly got up, glanced at Hua Qingrao behind Zhao Yu as if nothing, and saluted: "The concubines see everyone." โ€

Hua Qingrao also leaned over and saluted the queen and said, "The concubine is the queen's mother." โ€

The queen came over with a smile and took her hand: "My sister hasn't seen her for many days, and she looks a lot ruddy!" โ€

Hua Qingrao glanced at Zhao Xuan with affection in her eyes, and when she saw that he was also looking at herself, she hung her head shyly, and said obediently: "Niangniang praised it, the concubine will definitely go to ask Niangniang for peace tomorrow." โ€

Zhao Xuan exempted her from asking for peace for a few days, and the queen should have been thinking about this, so she secretly ordered her.

Zhao Xuan slowly sat on the top, and his voice gradually became colder: "Where is Xin Shiyu?" โ€

The queen turned around and sat beside him, and said softly: "The concubine saw that in the past few days that she was imprisoned, she had lost a lot of weight and her face was ruined, so she let the imperial doctor take a look for her first." โ€

Zhao Xuan asked in a deep voice, "What happened?" โ€

The queen glanced at Hua Qingrao, who was sitting below, and said with some hesitation: "Xin Shiyu has been shouting that it was Sister Ying who ruined her face, and her father Lord Dong was executed today, so I can't think about it... And he hanged himself. Fortunately, he was discovered by the guards, and his life was saved. โ€

Zhao Xuanjian frowned, and asked impatiently, "How did the Shu servant get hurt?" โ€

After Xin Shiyu was rescued, he thought of his father in his heart, and when he saw that the door of the palace was finally opened, he took the opportunity to run out. It happened that Sister Shu was walking in the courtyard, and Xin Shiyu was chased by the guards and panicked for a while, so she collided with Sister Shu. โ€

Hua Qingrao lowered her eyes and listened to her words, a sneer in her heart, her words shirked all the guilt of Xin Shiyu, and also created an image of a filial daughter who was killed and disfigured, and cared for her father, and all the mistakes she made today were just mistakes she made because of her emotions.

"The queen's mother is concerned about the harem, and she knows everything that happens in this harem, which is really an example of the harem." Hua Qingrao said with a smile.

Zhao Xuan's eyes sank slightly, and he asked the queen with a side face, "How did the queen find out?" โ€

The queen was shocked, but she said calmly: "It was the guards who had an accident who came to report it, and the concubine wanted to find out the whole thing after she came, so she asked all the people who knew in detail." โ€

She paused for a moment, and then said: "Since Xin Shiyu's face was ruined, he has been shouting every day that it was Sister Ying's doing, and rumors have spread in the palace. The concubine thought that there might be some misunderstanding between the two of them, and today she took advantage of this to find out the reason, return Sister Ying's innocence, and also cut off the rumors in the palace. I wonder what everyone thinks? โ€

Before Zhao Xuan could speak, Hua Qingrao left her seat and saluted respectfully: "Everyone, the rumors and concubines in the palace have also heard of it. The concubine originally wanted to clear herself, but the rumor became more and more fierce, and some people even said that the concubine was too weak to let everyone find out about it. Therefore, the concubine once again begged everyone to find out about this matter today and return the concubine's innocence. โ€

Zhao Xuan sighed lightly, "Get up, I will definitely give you back a clean name today." โ€

The queen's eyes turned slightly, and she echoed gently: "Sister Ying, don't worry, everyone will definitely return the innocence you deserve!" โ€

Hua Qingrao's eyes were slightly red, and her eyes looked at Zhao Xuan with burning eyes, "Concubine, thank you, thank you, Queen Mother." โ€
