Chapter 26: Muddy the Waters
After a while, the carriage stopped, and the eunuch beckoned Su Yunting outside to follow.
"Miss Su, you haven't been to the palace for a long time, have you? You see, now that the palace has been redecorated again, is it more magnificent? The father-in-law suddenly asked with a friendly smile.
Su Yunting put a question mark in his heart.
She remembered that the first time she entered the palace when she was a child was when the queen held a birthday banquet for her own son Qin Yue.
That time, her father stuffed a lot of money to the queen's maternal family, the Liu family, that is, the hussar general Liu Zhongming.
Although the queen made an exception and allowed her to come to the palace banquet, she was only allowed to come.
Su Yunting still remembered that Su Yanqing cheered her on outside the palace gate at that time, and asked her to make more friends with everyone.
However, as soon as she turned her face, she was severely humiliated by those ladies.
Although the Su family is the richest businessman in the capital, the furnishings and decorations in the home are very luxurious, but when she entered the palace, she found out what it means to have a sky outside the sky.
The luxury of the palace is simply not something that ordinary people can imagine.
At the age of ten, she couldn't help but look around, curious.
Because of this, she was ridiculed by those ladies and ladies for being a dirt bun, and words such as "isn't it just a few stinky money at home", "nouveau riche", "wild girl who has never seen the world" and so on were thrown to her.
So this time, even if the father-in-law said this, Su Yunting never squinted, only stared at the ground.
"My father-in-law laughed, the palace is magnificent at all times."
Her answer was also very official.
The father-in-law couldn't help but glance at her.
I didn't expect such a folk girl to enter the palace in this situation, and she was generous and decent in her gestures, without showing any timidity, but she was more sensible than many young ladies from the family.
"Ahead is the Imperial Study." The father-in-law made a gesture of please, but his tone was obviously respectful.
Su Yunting nodded, thanked him softly, and walked in calmly.
The imperial study room was bigger than she imagined, and the walls inside were full of bookshelves, and it was full of books, and Su Yunting looked at it.
Do emperors have to read so many books? So what's so good about being an emperor?
Walking through the ear room, there is a table in the center of the inner room, and there is a bed on the side of the table, which is convenient for the emperor to rest when he is tired of reading and reading.
The old emperor was sitting at the table writing something.
The old emperor looked to be in his forties, but his eyes were cloudy like those of an old man in his seventies. His body also appeared a little rickety, and although it was not serious, it obviously shouldn't have appeared in someone his age.
Although he seems to be in good spirits, it just gives people a feeling of illness, which causes his current good spirit to seem to have a bit of a return to the light.
A small incense burner was placed on the table in front of him, and a faint incense came from it.
Su Yunting sniffed it carefully, this should be the best ambergris, she also has it at home, but the taste doesn't seem to be the same as this.
Behind the old emperor stood a man with a rickety figure.
The man was wearing a black robe with a hood, and his face was tightly covered, looking very mysterious.
Su Yunting knew who this person was.
The old emperor was frail and sickly since he was a child, and he always wanted to prolong his life, looking for ways to live a long life everywhere, and also set up a turtle and crane hall for this purpose, only to serve himself, and even the imperial hospital was not allowed to interfere.
This man is the leader of Kamezurudo.
But just like his dress, the origin of this man is very mysterious, and no one knows it.
People only know that he suddenly appeared more than ten years ago, so there was a turtle and crane hall.
The emperor called him "Mr. Youtong" and respected him very much.
But she didn't expect Youtong to be able to accompany the old emperor when he was reviewing the folds, which showed that the old emperor's trust in him was ridiculously high.
Speaking of which, in her previous life, she assisted Qin Chuan to become emperor, and it seems that she has never seen him again, did this person die in the war?
Forget it, it doesn't matter, the most important thing at the moment is to nail Qin Chuan to the pillar of shame!
"The people's daughter Su Yunting visited the emperor."
Su Yunting made a big salute in a proper manner.
But the emperor didn't say anything, just let her keep her kneeling posture, still busy with the things on her hands.
It wasn't until after a stick of incense that Su Yunting was already sore that the old emperor put down the pen in his hand leisurely, sat on the chair and said, "Get up." ”
Su Yunting knew that this was a dismount.
It seems that the emperor intends to protect Qin Chuan.
"Do you know why I announced you to the palace?"
"For the sake of the Eighth Prince, Qin Chuan."
"What a bold man, he dares to call the name of the eighth master!" A eunuch urn said angrily, and he was going to slap her mouth in court.
"It doesn't matter." The emperor stopped the eunuch, "Names are used to call." ”
"I've heard the eighth child talk about you. He said that you are not afraid of the eyes of the world, you have a straightforward temperament, and you are different from other ladies, and you are the only princess in his mind. ”
Su Yunting sneered: "What he likes is not the people's daughter, but the wealth of the people's daughter's family!" ”
"Presumptuous! The eighth master is a prince, what kind of gold and jade is that? How can you covet your family's money?! The eunuch said again.
"Your Majesty, the folk girl thought that it was the emperor who was going to ask the folk girl today, but I didn't expect that it was a eunuch."
"Bold!" The eunuch's hand trembled, and he pointed at Su Yunting and said that it was not good, "You dare to make a big deal of nonsense here!" ”
"Chang Gui!" The old emperor scolded, "You go and bring the eighth child." ”
Chang Gui could only glance at Su Yunting fiercely, and left the imperial study with a flick of the dust.
"Sure enough, it's a sharp-toothed girl." The old emperor laughed, but his tone was full of danger.
After a while, Qin Chuan walked in.
"Old eight, this woman keeps saying that you want to kill for money, what explanation do you have for this?"
"Father, this is all a misunderstanding! On the day she was kidnapped, Erchen only happened to pass by there, and it wasn't Erchen's doing! ”
"Then you and that one called Bai ...... What's going on with what kind of girl? ”
"Father Mingjian! That Bai Xinyue is the child adopted by Master Su and has lived in the Su family since he was a child. Erchen saw her a few times when he went to find Yunting, but he didn't expect her to be entangled with Erchen. When the reins ignored her, she came up with such a vicious plan to force the retainers to comply! ”
"Erchen was calculated by her!"
Su Yunting laughed in his heart.
White Crescent, White Crescent, do you really think he loves you?
As soon as something goes wrong, all the fault is put on others, how can such a selfish and irresponsible man love others?
What he loves has always been himself.
"You see, it's all a misunderstanding." The old emperor said, "I can see that the eighth child is sincere to you, and it would be good if the misunderstanding was resolved." ”
Seeing that the old emperor had made up his mind to muddy the water, Su Yunting didn't plan to hide it anymore.
She took out the jade pendant and said, "It's definitely not a misunderstanding!" Here's the proof! ”
