"Yes, but Xuanying didn't mean to hurt the emperor. It's just that this woman spoke rudely, and Xuanying couldn't be more angry than this..." Princess Xuanying immediately panicked, looking at the somewhat majestic old man in front of her, and said in a panic explained. She was secretly gnashing her teeth in hatred towards Du Suxi, but Du Suxi ignored all of this without hesitation and didn't take it to heart at all. It's a joke, there are so many people who hate her. If she keeps every one of them in mind, then she doesn't have to continue living.
If you dare to mess with her, you should pay the price.
"Okay." The old emperor closed his eyes, and the air pressure around him dropped a bit. There was a depressing feeling in the air, which made people feel breathless.
"This matter ends here, don't talk about it anymore."
Du Suxi watched this scene quietly. He frowned and looked at the old emperor sitting on the throne. He already understood something in his heart. The emperor's attitude was clearly reflected on the paper. If he didn't pursue this matter, a major matter would be reduced to a trivial matter. Let's forget this matter.
Du Suxi sighed unwillingly in her heart. She could feel the way Princess Xuanying looked at her without looking. After this time, she and Princess Xuanying completely broke up.
Although she was a little dissatisfied with the old emperor's arrangement that was obviously biased in favor of Xuanying, she also knew that her words could not influence the old emperor's mood, so she had to give up. The old emperor seemed to feel something. He raised his head and glanced at Du Suxi, and spoke seriously.
"In this matter, you can be regarded as having done a good job in protecting me. I will give you a thousand taels of gold and a hundred pieces of silk."
Du Su was startled, looked at the majestic emperor in front of him, lowered his eyes, a complicated smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and nodded. "Thank you, Your Majesty."
She understood that even if this matter was in the past, there was no point in repeating the past, but she was still somewhat unwilling to do so.
The emperor's reward was just a formality. A slap in the face and a sweet date are common methods used by emperors. It seems that this old emperor has already mastered the game. Perhaps she underestimated the emperor. Taking a deep breath, Du Suxi controlled herself and tried to cheer up.
The old emperor suddenly spoke again.
"You all go down, I want to have a good talk with this woman."
Concubine Mei was a little worried and wanted to speak, but was forced to swallow her words by the old emperor's cold gaze. After all, she didn't say anything, snorted coldly, and then took the mysterious look that had been glaring at Du Suxi. Princess Ying left.
Du Suxi watched all this silently, with a cold face, without any emotion, and even a hint of sarcasm.
When Xuanying left just now, he not only bumped into her intentionally, but also used lip-syncing to talk to her. Don't get complacent too soon.
Du Suxi snorted at this sentence. It can be expected that Xuanying will never let it go like this. He slapped her, and there will definitely be revenge.
However, she is no longer what she used to be. She is far from the cowardly, timid and fearful Du Suxi she used to be. In her previous life, she had lived a life of licking blood from the edge of a knife. What he endured was far beyond what ordinary people could imagine.
The old emperor quietly looked at Du Suxi, who was calm and not at all nervous, with an indifferent expression. The charm of every move has a kind of magnanimity that has been passed down for thousands of years and has been accumulated for thousands of years.
"Du Zaifu has told me everything about you." The old emperor finally broke the silence, and his slightly cloudy eyes seemed to have a sense of insight into everything, which made people feel uneasy.
Du Suxi was a little surprised. She subconsciously clenched her hands behind her back and looked at the old emperor nervously. She could not hear any embarrassment in what she said.
"Du Zaifu is a good person. The little girl made a scene in Zaifu's house that day. It was really a helpless act."
She did not directly answer the old emperor's words. After all, she did not know what Du Yuanzheng said to the emperor. The emperor in front of her was far more intelligent and terrifying than she expected. Facing such a person, Du Suxi had to deal with it carefully.
"Haha, you are a very smart woman. It's not in vain that Du Zaifu has raised you carefully for many years, but you are her daughter." After the old emperor said this, he looked sad, as if he had fallen into something.
In his memories, most of the invisible power that belonged to the emperor was missing.
Looking at the old emperor whose expression suddenly changed, Du Suxi frowned slightly, looking at the old emperor with a bit of vigilance. This was the second time she heard someone mention the mother of this body, the woman named Chen Xi, and it seemed that this woman called Chen Xi was not simple. At least, she could easily ripple the old emperor's emotions.
However, the emperor in front of him, in this way, was he testing himself, or did Du Yuanzheng really say something to the emperor, letting the emperor know his true identity? Du Suxi calculated in her mind that according to normal understanding, the possibility of Du Yuanzheng telling the emperor everything was very small, almost negligible. After all, there is a difference between monarch and minister. According to Du Yuanzheng's conduct, he would definitely not be so confidant with the emperor. If so, then this is the former.
With an idea in her mind, Du Suxi breathed a sigh of relief, put down her worries, and calmly faced the old emperor in front of her, continuing to maintain her composure.
"Your Majesty, you may have recognized the wrong person. I am not the second young lady of the Du family. The world is so big that people have similarities. My resemblance to the second young lady is just fate."
The old emperor laughed, looking at the dignified woman in front of him, his smile was unfathomable, and his words were extremely affirmative.
"Perhaps I recognized the wrong person. However, you are her daughter no matter what. You can't be wrong."
ah? What does this mean? Du Suxi was confused when she heard the old emperor's paradoxical words. No matter what, she was still her daughter? Even if she is not the second young lady of the Du family
How does this sound? Why does it feel so awkward? Du Suxi looked at the old emperor in front of her, and finally couldn't help but frown deeply. This old emperor was either old and confused, so he was talking nonsense, or he knew something and was bluffing. But, could the person who plotted against me just now be an old fool? Du Suxi felt that she would not believe it even if he beat her to death!
As his mind wandered, the old emperor's voice came to mind again, and his tone was even more thunderous and majestic than usual.
"However, even if you are her daughter, you cannot show your thoughts to Heng'er. Have you ever understood?"
This... Du Suxi was even more speechless. What kind of medicine was this old emperor selling in the gourd? He also warned himself not to have any wrong thoughts about He Lianheng, and emphasized that he was "her" daughter. This Things are too complicated, right
"If you are dissatisfied with something, just say so. I am not an unreasonable person." Seemingly seeing the struggle in Du Suxi's heart, the old emperor spoke very kindly and asked Du Suxi to Feel free to ask questions.
Du Suxi gave the old emperor a strange look, and finally sighed and spoke.
"Your Majesty, the Third Prince and I are just sworn friends. We are more than just friends. Please don't misunderstand, Your Majesty. I have no intention of competing with Princess Xuanying for His Highness. It's just that, I But this woman also understands that if you force me to do something, even if Princess Xuanying gets rid of me, you won’t be able to win the heart of His Highness.”
Today's banquet is no different from the banquet of Hongmen. While every step is dangerous, Du Suxi also thinks about it. I am afraid that all this is to seek justice for Princess Xuanying. However, the old emperor also had his scruples and thoughts. Since ancient times, accompanying a king is like accompanying a tiger. Du Suxi didn't want to speculate on the old emperor's thoughts.
The old emperor unexpectedly did not speak. Instead, he stared blankly at Du Suxi's face for a long time, then sighed and waved his hand gently.
"Go down, Xuanying, she is the concubine of His Highness Third Highness. No matter what, this is a fact. As for you, you are her daughter, I will not embarrass you."
After the old emperor finished speaking, he seemed to be extremely tired, so he gently closed his eyes and stopped talking. The old emperor at this time gave Du Suxi the feeling that he was not a wise emperor, nor was he an aggressive and calculating schemer. The old emperor at this time was more like an ordinary old man, an extremely ordinary old man. Facing such an old man, Du Suxi was startled for a moment, then said nothing and quietly exited the inner court of Tianhua Palace. Quietly looking at Xuan who glared at him fiercely
Princess Ying had a sarcastic smile on her lips and spoke softly.
"Princess, it seems that you have never been in love. Your biggest enemy is not me, but yourself. If you don't understand, you are destined to be a loser in life."
After these days of contact, Du Suxi has more or less gained a general understanding of He Lianheng's character. She can even be certain that He Lianheng would never like her even if she wasn't there. A woman like Xuanying. This is not only an affirmation, but also a kind of confidence.
"You, who are you? How dare you accuse me?" After hearing Du Suxi's words, Princess Xuanying immediately became furious. She subconsciously touched her waist, but was surprised to find that her waist was empty. There is no whip present.
Du Suxi took in all of Xuanying's movements, and the sarcasm on her lips became more and more obvious. She was not a good-tempered person to begin with, but now faced with Princess Xuanying, who was bent on harming her, she would not treat others like a snake. Anyway, I've already been slapped, and my face has been torn apart, so there's no need to say something hypocritical and offensive.
Taking a step closer, Du Suxi smiled like a spring breeze, looked at Princess Xuanying, and spoke softly and slowly.
"Princess Xuanying, do you know what the most disgusting thing in the world is?" Before Xuanying could answer, Du Suxi's mouth curved in a nice curve and she spoke softly.
"The most disgusting thing in the world is that you can't stand me, but you can't kill me."
The voice was like silk, but Princess Xuanying's expression changed again. She raised her hand and was about to slap Du Suxi. Du Suxi sneered and instead of hiding, she grabbed Xuanying's arm. After several struggles, it was all in vain, and he couldn't even move at all.
"Let me go!" Looking at Du Suxi's face, Xuanying felt a mad desire to gnash his teeth.
Du Suxi sneered and responded casually. "If the princess agrees not to give the little girl such surprises again, it doesn't matter if the little girl lets go." After she said that, she directly let go of Xuan Ying's arm. Her originally ordinary face was replaced by her arrogant Self-confidence actually gave birth to a bit of boundless charm for no reason, making people subconsciously tremble.
"You, you, don't be arrogant, I will let you understand today what is dignity and inferiority!" Princess Xuanying was really angry today. Not only was she humiliated twice by the same person, this person was also her love rival. , snatched away her man, how could you bear this tone? How can you bear it
Raising her hand, Princess Xuanying was about to hit Du Suxi again when Tianfei Jingwei, who was standing by, suddenly stood up and stopped in front of Du Suxi calmly, looking at her Xuanying's tone didn't even have the slightest waver in her tone.
"Princess, the Emperor is still resting inside. Please keep your voice down, Princess, so as not to wake up the Emperor, so as not to disturb the Holy Master."
This was clearly a plan to protect Du Suxi. This attitude made Princess Xuanying even more angry. However, the hand that was raised high had no choice but to lower it.
Although she has a distinguished status, the woman in front of her is not someone to be trifled with. The most favored concubine in front of the emperor, this status is not a joke.
However, even if the Concubine Tian came forward in person, Xuanying couldn't bear this tone. Looking at Du Suxi who was standing behind Tian Fei, smiling calmly and not taking her seriously at all, Xuanying gritted his teeth and threatened.
"You...if I see His Highness the Third, I will definitely tell His Highness everything you have done, so that His Highness can see clearly the shameless true face of a woman like you. When the time comes, let's see how the Third Highness deals with you!"
She spoke with a compelling tone, but Du Suxi frowned secretly. This Xuanying is a little too naive. Your Highness? I'm afraid that if He Lianheng finds out about this, not only will he not blame her, but he will also think that this Xuanying is extremely stupid. It's ridiculous, it's really ridiculous. A woman who falls in love is completely insane and extremely terrifying.
I thought so in my heart. Du Suxi was even more disdainful.
"Princess Xuanying, the little girl doesn't have much time, so I won't chat with the princess here. I'll take my leave."
Having said that, Du Suxi simply ignored the many concubines in the outer court. He walked towards the gate of Tianhua Palace calmly and calmly.
