"Empress?" Su Yan didn't move, she bowed three times to Princess Xianjing's memorial tablet before Caixia called the maid who sent the message in.
Seeing that she was unfamiliar, Su Yan sat on the chair and asked her calmly: "Do you know why the Empress summoned me into the palace?"
"I don't know." The maid shook her head.
"Then you brought your mother's letter?" At this moment, Su Yan must be careful.
The maid still didn't have it, she lowered her head and said, "It's just my mother's word of mouth, this is the maidservant's identity badge."
Saying that, the court lady handed a token to Yun Zhui, and Yun Zhui passed it to Su Yan. Su Yan took a look at the token, and it was indeed the token used by the Queen's palace people to travel.
After returning the token to the maid, Su Yan stood up lightly, and said to Liu Xiang, "Help me up."
Liu Xiang helped Su Yan up, and Su Yan said to the maid: "You lead the way."
"Yes." The palace maid replied, bowing and waiting for Su Yan to leave first.
Su Yan observed carefully, the moment she got up, the maid's breathing rate was also much slower than before, one could tell that she was relaxed at that moment. And when she exchanged tokens with Liu Xiang just now, Su Yan noticed that there were some calluses in her tiger's mouth. Those who served the queen and could go out to pass on messages would not do any rough work at all, let alone grind out calluses.
Su Yan narrowed her eyes slightly, and deliberately kept a little distance from the maid, the moment the maid walked out of the door, Su Yan suddenly took a step back, and shouted to the guards outside: "Come on, take her down! "
The court lady knew she was exposed when she heard the words, she immediately pulled out a dagger from her short boots, turned around and attacked Su Yan.
When Su Yan retreated, Yunquan was alert, Yunquan immediately went forward with a dagger in his hand, and the maids in the room immediately closed and locked the door after Yunquan went out.
Hearing the sound of fighting outside, Su Yan's heart was beating like a drum. The purpose of coming was obvious, to lure herself out. And her biggest role now should be to threaten Chu Yan.
Thinking of this, Su Yan became less anxious, and her heartbeat gradually returned to normal.
Now that the Second Prince has sent someone to hold her hostage, it means that the Second Prince's situation on the battlefield is very unfavorable, otherwise, he would not be able to seek further distance and take his ideas on himself.
The movement outside quickly disappeared. After about a quarter of an hour, Yunquan changed into a change of clothes and entered the house, and the outside had already been tidied up.
Yunquan said: "Shizi Concubine, she killed herself and did not keep her life alive."
"I don't need anything to live at all." Su Yan shook her head lightly, and ordered: "The order goes on, no one can be let in except the son of the world."
"Yes." Yunquan led the order to go out, Su Yan looked at the washed blue bricks and stones on the ground outside, and kept praying for Chu Yan in her heart.
She hoped that his place would be the same as hers, that everything would be safe and sound, and all dangers would be saved.
After thinking about it, Su Yan told Liu Xiang: "You go out and inform the guards outside in a while, don't tell the prince about this matter."
Chu Yan must be very busy with the things in his hands now, Su Yan doesn't want these things to distract him.
Inside the palace, Princess Jinyang personally fed the emperor the medicine that Su Yan specially asked her to bring into the palace, and then sat on the bedside and sighed softly. Although the cause of this incident was that the emperor was bewitched by others, which caused him to do a lot of stupid things, but Princess Jinyang still felt that she could not bear to treat the emperor like this.
The queen personally poured a cup of tea and handed it to Princess Jinyang: "Jinyang, you've been tired all morning, let's have a cup of tea."
Facing the queen's overtures, Princess Jinyang didn't move, and didn't even give her a reaction. In Princess Jinyang's heart, the queen is one of her few friends, and the queen's actions last time really hurt her heart.
Facing Princess Jinyang's indifference, the queen didn't insist. She turned around and sat on the brocade bench not far from Princess Jinyang and took a sip of the tea she poured herself. .
Outside the palace, Prince Yan and Concubine Lin Shu met by chance.
Looking at the man who was already aging in front of her, Concubine Lin Shu lowered her eyes, bowed her head calmly and gave a blessing: "Thank you, my lord, for your help with this matter."
Since she entered the palace, this was the first time he met her alone.
Facing Concubine Lin Shu's thank you gift, Prince Yan turned away and said in a low voice: "I didn't protect you back then, so these should be my compensation for you."
Listening to Prince Yan mentioning the words of the past, Concubine Lin Shu's heart beat extremely fast for an instant, but soon returned to normal.
Concubine Lin Shu shook her head and smiled lightly: "Back then... you were on the battlefield, even if you wanted to save me, you were powerless. After so many years, you have helped me a lot, so you don't have to feel indebted to me."
Prince Yan was startled when he heard this, but he didn't know what to say.
After a few breaths, Concubine Lin Shu said again: "If you look into it carefully, I owe you a lot."
"You and I are still talking about what we owe." This was Prince Yan's subconscious answer, but he swallowed it before he could say it, because he realized that this sentence is very important to them now. It is not appropriate to say.
At this moment, a female voice came from not far away. It was Princess Rongyang calling her father.
Subconsciously, Concubine Lin Shu took two steps back to widen the distance between her and Prince Yan.
It's just that her action was unnecessary. When Concubine Lin Shu stepped forward, Prince Yan had already greeted Princess Rongyang with a bright and kind smile on his face.
Princess Rongyang didn't realize that there was something wrong with the atmosphere between Prince Yan and Concubine Lin Shu. She walked up to Concubine Lin Shu and saluted: "Greetings to Concubine Shu."
"The princess doesn't need to be too polite." Concubine Lin Shu smiled softly: "The princess and the prince are here to visit the emperor, right?"
Princess Rongyang nodded, then turned to look at Prince Yan: "Father also just arrived?"
"I haven't gone in yet, but I met Concubine Shu at the door." When speaking, Prince Yan's eyes were all on Princess Rongyang.
"My lord and princess go in quickly, the sun is big today, be careful to burn the princess." Concubine Lin Shu felt a little indescribable in her heart. look.
Concubine Lin Shu stopped on the spot and looked at the two figures, one tall and one lower, feeling a little envious and a little bit reluctant in her heart.
It's just that it doesn't matter how reluctant they are, now they all have their own families, their own children, and they are no longer what they used to be.
Thinking of this, Concubine Lin Shu shook her head with a relieved smile.
Let him pass on the past, no matter how persistent he is, what's the point
