After closing the door, Qingwu ran over and asked in surprise, "Your Majesty, are we really going to move to Tingyu Tower?"

"Mm." Su Tiyue nodded as if she had made up her mind.

Liu Wan was also somewhat puzzled: "But Your Highness, yesterday you said that Master Xiao was bullying you..."

Qingwu chimed in, "That's right, Your Highness! That place is right under Xiao Zhangyin's nose. He's evil, treacherous, and cunning. Who knows when he might go berserk and kill us all..."

Liu Wan rolled her eyes at Qing Wu and said, "It's not that exaggerated, but Master Xiao is indeed a very dangerous person. Your Highness, why do you do this? What if Master Xiao targets us at every turn after we move to Tingyu Tower?"

“That’s right, that’s right. Moving to Tingyu Tower is too conspicuous and unsafe. I don’t think it’s appropriate.”

"..."

Liu Wan knew something about the agreement between Su Tiyue and Xiao Heye, so when Su Tiyue proposed to move there, Liu Wan was only surprised, unlike Qingwu who objected.

Su Tiyue listened silently to their opposing arguments before speaking calmly, saying, "But for me right now, the most dangerous place is the safest place."

"Huh?!" Liu Wan and Qing Wu exclaimed in unison, their mouths agape.

She thought for a moment and said, "Although he doesn't have a good reputation, at least he hasn't done anything to hurt me... What happened yesterday can't be entirely blamed on him."

Su Tiyue couldn't explain the purpose of this decision to them for a while, but she knew very well that the more Xiao Heye cared about the Wenhui Pavilion matter, the more it showed that she still had a glimmer of hope.

Everyone says that Xiao Heye is pure of heart and has few desires, is without ambition, and does not get close to women; even he himself thinks so.

Although Su Tiyue wasn't entirely sure, upon careful consideration, she realized that, in terms of their deal, the best outcome for her was not having to serve the emperor; conversely, the worst outcome was having to serve him.

Having prepared for the worst, what is she afraid of?

Rather than sitting idly by and waiting for Xiao Heye to send her to the emperor's bed, she might as well... struggle for another month before that, and try her luck.

Su Tiyue also realized something: the reason why Xiao Heye was so angry and deliberately arranged for Su Tiyue to meet the Emperor and bring up the Emperor to scare her was to take the opportunity to get rid of that inappropriate thought of his.

To put it bluntly, it's still the same old truth: lies don't hurt, but the truth is the sharpest knife.

Because Su Tiyue moved to Tingyu Tower, Yelan Pavilion suddenly seemed to become quite noisy.

The banging noises from next door continued from noon until evening. Xiao Heye, who hadn't slept all night, was annoyed by the noise and couldn't fall asleep or concentrate on his reading.

Although Xiao Heye didn't say anything, Li Xun was constantly on edge, fearing that his master would suddenly fly into a rage and go crazy, implicating innocent people...

So Li Xun took it upon himself to send a few people to Tingyu Tower, and he went along to see if there was anything he could do to help.

There weren't many servants at Jinxiu Palace, and there was a lot of stuff to move. When Su Tiyue saw Li Xun leading people in, she smiled brightly.

At that time, she was still wearing that purple palace dress, but she had wrapped a thick dark green cloak over it. She was petite, and the cloak trailed on the ground, with a small section of the bottom damp from the snow.

Li Xun bowed and walked up to her, smiling obsequiously, "It's cold outside, Your Highness, please take care of yourself. You can leave these matters to the servants."

Su Tiyue said "Oh" and then said, "Don't worry, I can't be of much help. I'm just looking around."

A gentle breeze blew, ruffling her dark hair. It wasn't snowing today, and the entire palace was warm and cozy. Through the dark red courtyard wall, Su Tiyue glanced at the pavilion next door and asked, "Is your Grand Eunuch still angry?"

Su Tiyue thought to herself that she had been there for most of the day, but Xiao Heye hadn't come out to see his new neighbor. They were neighbors, and if Xiao Heye continued to be cold to her, it would be difficult for her to get things done in the future.

Thinking this way, Su Tiyue asked Li Xun a random question.

Li Xun paused, followed her gaze, and deliberately asked, "This servant does not know which matter Your Majesty is asking about?"

To be honest, what made Xiao Heye's emotions fluctuate was threefold: first, Su Tiyue had made a scene in the room yesterday and smashed Xiao Heye's most cherished Helan inkstone; second, Su Tiyue had taken it upon herself to move to Tingyu Tower; and third, Su Tiyue's moving was too noisy, disturbing Xiao Heye's peace of mind.

However, Su Tiyue was completely unaware of all this.

"Which matter?" Su Tiyue frowned and repeated herself.

Li Xun said, "Is Your Highness asking about what happened yesterday in the Chief Eunuch's room...?"

"Hmm, he got angry after I left yesterday?"

Li Xun crossed his arms in front of him, looking bewildered, and said, "Yesterday, it seemed that Her Majesty was even angrier, wasn't she? The Grand Eunuch... wasn't very angry."

Well, the Grand Eunuch wasn't angry. He just stayed up late one night and went out of the palace. When he returned, the entire Xue family had been wiped out…

Li Xun didn't dare tell Su Tiyue about this.

Furthermore, even if Xue Yu had committed a crime, he should have been interrogated by the Dali Temple before being convicted. Even if he truly deserved to die, according to normal procedures, he could have lived a little longer. But Xue Yu was unlucky; he offended Xiao Heye, and coincidentally, Xiao Heye wasn't in a good mood either…

Li Xun didn't tell Su Tiyue about this.

Upon hearing this, she smiled awkwardly, her face flushed, and said, "I was a bit out of line yesterday, I frightened you, Eunuch Li?"

Li Xun shook his head. He wasn't scared, just a little shocked.

This Consort Shu is not only young but also has a big temper. She actually dared to make such a scene in front of the Eunuch. If this had happened to an ordinary person, they would probably be buried with grass three feet long by this time next year.

"Oh, by the way, Eunuch Li, I had someone bring some Xiangshan Yunwu tea over, thinking of giving it to your Chief Eunuch to try. I wonder if he will like it."

Li Xun hissed, racking his brains for a long time but still couldn't recall the name of the tea. He then asked softly, "Cloud Mist?" What kind of tea was that? Li Xun had never even heard of it…

Su Tiyue nodded and introduced, "Yunwu tea comes from Xiangshan Mountain in the Jiujiang area. Although it is not very famous, I think that the tea brewed from Yunwu tea has a bright color and a mellow, sweet taste that lingers in the mouth."

"Your Highness also knows how to appreciate tea?"

"I'm not an expert, it's just something I came up with by chance. When you go back later, take some with you and bring some back for your supervisor."

Li Xun replied, "Yes."
