Su Jinxiu wanted to ask Concubine Xu for help, but she didn't expect that Concubine Xu was in trouble now.
After seeing off Su Jinxiu yesterday, the emperor had someone summon her to the imperial study. However, when she arrived at the door of the imperial study, she found out that the emperor was busy. She could only wait outside the imperial study. Even until the sun set, the emperor was still "busy".
Only then did she realize the seriousness of the problem, and she quickly knelt at the door of the imperial study to apologize. However, she knelt all night and the emperor did not ask her to stand up.
She could only kneel at the door of the imperial study, not even daring to pretend to faint. She knew that the emperor must be very angry, otherwise he would not treat her like this. Only by kneeling here devoutly could she ask for the emperor's forgiveness.
Her relationship with the emperor had finally eased, and she didn't want to give up this hard-earned favor, even though this kind of relationship was no longer what she had originally wanted.
However, she did not expect that the emperor had no sympathy for women.
Concubine Xu knelt on the ground, watching Ah Man go in and out several times, and her heart became more and more flustered.
What happened to the emperor? It wasn’t that he didn’t like Ah Man before, but now… She felt as if she had never really understood the emperor.
This realization made her feel panicky.
And Ah Man did come to see Su Jing often these days. Her father was not in good health, so she had to watch him take his medicine and not let him overwork. She would still act coquettishly towards Su Jing and get angry with him, just like those ordinary days long ago.
Su Jing knew that even if Ah Man hadn't asked in detail, she already knew most of the story. She was able to see the big picture from the small details. His daughter had always been the smartest.
Therefore, the father and daughter had a rare tacit understanding, either chatting about family matters, or he reviewing memorials while she flipped through books beside him. The days were quiet and beautiful, if they ignored the person kneeling outside.
"Your woman has been kneeling outside for a long time. Father, you are still as loyal as iron."
Ah Man looked at the time and saw that Su Jing had been reading memorials for an hour. She put down the book in her hand, walked up to Su Jing and joked.
"Don't accuse me, she is not my woman."
"You're already staying in someone else's palace, but you're still being stubborn. Really..."
When Su Jing spoke, Ah Man's suspicions were confirmed again. Her father was really not a heartless person. He really did not touch Concubine Xu.
"My mother has passed away. If you have a woman you like, you can marry her. Even if my mother is in the underworld, she would not want to see you live a lonely life for half your life."
Ah Man looked at Su Jing's thin face and suddenly said.
After saying this, Su Jing was stunned. She was also stunned. Ah Man didn't expect that she could say such a thing. She...
"I mean, Father, you..."
"No need to say more. I swore to your mother that I would only have this woman for the rest of my life. Having her is enough for me."
"Father..."
"No need to say more."
"Father, I'm talking about Xu Shi outside. You should let her go back."
"Then let her go back."
"Won't you go and comfort her?"
"Tonight, someone will come to comfort you."
"Father, I am deeply in love with you."
"Does she deserve it? When she attacked your mother, she was already a dead person."
Ah Man looked at Su Jing in shock. She didn't expect that it was Concubine Xu.
"Just know it, don't tell anyone. If you dare to touch your mother, I will not let her have an easy life."
"Well, I won't let her have an easy time either."
"This is my business. You should listen to me and don't mess around. You should understand the principle of killing someone and destroying their heart."
"You are wasting your talents against her."
"She dared to attack your mother, so I have to deal with her. You don't have to worry about this matter. Since she is so infatuated, let's fulfill her wish and then destroy her."
His understated words were filled with hatred that could destroy the world, but when talking to Ah Man, Su Jing's expression was still gentle, like a kind father.
