Chapter 420 Su Xue’s Thoughts

Soon Su Shi was called over.

Seeing Su Shi's exhausted appearance, Master Su's words of reproach got stuck in his throat. He asked in a deep voice, "Why didn't the eldest lady come back?"

Su Shi immediately knelt down and took out Murong Li's letter from his arms: "Master, the border still needs the eldest lady and the prince. The specific reasons are all in the letter."

Uncle Su took the letter and read it quickly. After he finished reading, his frown relaxed.

The anger and anxiety in his heart also disappeared, and he felt relieved when he learned that the emperor would be fine.

Almost ten days later, news broke that the emperor was seriously ill again, and Murong Yi was controlling the court like the previous prince.

The ministers did not dare to enter the palace on their own initiative because they could not see the emperor.

It was after that meeting with the emperor that he was discovered by Murong Yi, who reprimanded him and ordered him to reflect at home, and he was not allowed to attend the court.

That's good now. As long as the emperor takes Yue'er's medicine and their people come back to protect him, Murong Yi will probably not be able to cause any trouble this time.

Then Uncle Su asked Su Shi to go back and have a rest. The secret guards were human beings, not steel, and they had to sleep when it was time to sleep.

He went back to his room to put on his clothes, quietly left the house, and then, led by his secret guards, knocked on the doors of each minister's mansion.

Soon, the lights in the ministers' mansions were lit, and soon after, carriages drove towards the palace.

The palace gates were locked at night, but with the arrival of secret guards and ministers from the court, the imperial guards guarding the palace gates had to open them. The ministers entered the palace one after another and went straight to the emperor's bedroom.

On the other side, Murong Yi returned to Prince Yi's Mansion angrily and went straight to Su Xue's yard. Only she could help him relieve the anger in his heart.

Only after getting married did he discover that Su Xue was truly a beauty, gentle as water, considerate, and kind-hearted. Murong Yi secretly sighed that he had found a treasure.

"Why is your Highness like this? Who made you angry?"

When Su Xue saw Murong Yi coming back angrily, she immediately greeted him with a smile.

Murong Yi held Su Xue's delicate hand, and looking at her delicate and gentle appearance, the anger in his heart had disappeared by half.

He picked up Su Xue and carried her into the bedroom. Soon, blushing and heart-pounding sounds were heard in the room.

After a long time, Su Xue looked at Murong Yi shyly: "Your Highness, is it the Emperor's business that makes you unhappy? Can you talk to Xue'er about it? Xue'er will work with you to find a solution."

Murong Yi pecked her lips lightly, his face full of satisfaction. He nodded and said, "Well, if I can't find the old man's jade seal, I won't be legitimate. Even if I sit in that position, few people will respect me."

A hint of viciousness flashed across Su Xue's gentle face. She softly asked, "Has Your Majesty searched every corner of the palace?"

Murong Yi nodded lightly. He searched every corner of the palace but couldn't find the jade seal. He even suspected that the old man had a premonition and gave the jade seal to Murong Li.

Su Xue pursed her lips and asked, "Has the prince looked for the imperial concubine's bedroom?"

Murong Yi was stunned for a moment, then overjoyed. He said, "Why didn't I think of that? My Xue'er is really smart."

Murong Yi was so happy that he turned over and got up, kissed Su Xue hard on the face, then put on his clothes and left the bedroom. He called a few secret guards outside, told them what to do, then returned to the bedroom, got on the bed and hugged Su Xue for another time.

Su Xue hugged Murong Yi back, with a smile on her lips. She said sorry to Su Yue in her heart, but her face was extremely gloomy. The entire Anding Marquis Mansion was revolving around Su Yue. At that time, she didn't feel anything and thought it was natural.

When she had physical contact with Murong Yi, got engaged to him, and then got married and became the mistress of Prince Yi's Mansion, her mentality gradually changed.

Murong Yi is also a prince and the emperor's son. He is on equal footing with Murong Li. Why can Murong Li be emperor but Murong Yi cannot? Why should Murong Yi be a stepping stone for Murong Li?

Why can Su Yue be the queen, but she, Su Xue, can’t? How is she worse than Su Yue?

After tossing and turning for a while, the two of them fell asleep peacefully. However, they were awakened by the secret guards not long after falling asleep. Murong Yi turned over and asked anxiously, "Have you found the jade seal?"

The secret guard shook his head: "Without the master, something terrible has happened. Many ministers have entered the palace. The subordinates cannot get close to the palace, and we can't contact the guards. I don't know what happened in the palace. Your Highness, please get up quickly and take a look."

After hearing this, Murong Yi hurriedly put on his clothes, said something to the secret guard, and quickly went to the palace.

In the carriage, Murong Yi's mood was up and down. He had a bad feeling in his heart. The entire palace had been controlled by him, even the personal guards were under his control. Now a minister had entered the palace. This did not look good.

Could it be that the emperor is dead?

That shouldn't be the case. If the emperor died, he should be the first one to be notified.

The more Murong Yi thought about it, the more frightened he became. Could it be that Murong Li's people had returned?

Only his people have the strength to compete with his people.

Murong Li, bastard, coming back at this time to ruin his plans. Murong Yi was so angry that he clenched his fists.

"hurry up."

Murong Yi couldn't help but urge the driver.

The emperor is not dead yet, so he can still speak. I’m just afraid that old man will talk nonsense.

The driver whipped the horse hard to make the carriage move.

They soon arrived at the palace gate. Murong Yi hurriedly got off the carriage and saw that the carriages of the ministers were parked in front of the palace gate. Some of the ministers had just arrived.

"Greetings, Your Majesty. You are here too."

A minister saw him and greeted him.

"Well, what happened?"

Murong Yi asked the minister in return.

"I don't know. It was Lord Su who called me and said that the Emperor wanted to see me. I came right away."

This minister usually had some conflicts with Murong Li, so when he heard Murong Yi asking this, he revealed some more information to him.

Murong Yi's heart sank when he heard this. They were indeed Murong Li's people. He just didn't know whether the two of them had returned.

He said to the minister, "Let's go in quickly."

The minister nodded, and the two of them quickly entered the palace.

After entering the palace, Murong Yi did not see the personal guards he had arranged. He followed them anxiously and wanted to turn back and leave the palace several times. He was afraid that he would not be able to get out after entering.

But thinking that the entire royal guard was under his control, and there was also the army outside the city, at least half of them he could command, he felt a little lucky.

In the emperor's bedroom, after the ministers arrived, they all came to his bed and looked at the sleeping emperor.

The emperor just looked a little pale and his breathing was steady. He didn't look terminally ill, but just seemed to be asleep.

They don’t know that even if an emperor is born disabled, he will be no different from an ordinary person even after death. At most, he will look a little pale, but in fact his vitality has been exhausted and he is dead.
