Chapter 29: There is a female emperor, jealous in the palace

At last year's early winter poetry gathering, Su Linhan won first place with a poem titled "Frosty leaves intoxicate the winter colors, blue waves play the night strings. The good time can never come again, the wind and rain are as long as years."

now

Su Changan won the first prize with the poem "A spring night is worth a thousand gold coins, the flowers have fragrance and the moon has shadow."

Both sisters are leaders!

It’s really a beautiful story!

Especially Su Changan's beauty and literary talent were revealed tonight, which made everyone in the poetry meeting and the restaurant hall feel deeply moved.

【Qingya Restaurant】This poetry gathering in the inner courtyard has come to an end

But outside the hall, those readers who were touched by the beautiful sceneries of "the boat is full of clear dreams and the stars" and "the body is covered with flower shadows and the beautiful woman is holding it" and thus brought it into the poems.

Shouting "A night of spring is worth a thousand gold coins", they picked up their wine glasses and got drunk.

Because of one or two beautiful lines of poetry, I feel deeply touched and my emotions burst out. Generally speaking, this is how scholars feel.

but.

Or maybe it was something else.

What is going on in the minds of scholars is so mysterious that I can’t understand it.

but.

This night.

A scholar got drunk and walked to the river. He looked at the starry sky reflected on the river surface, shouted "I am swimming on the starry river!" and then jumped into the river.

This night.

A scholar went to the flower street, looked at the beautiful beauties, and whispered, "A moment of spring night is worth a thousand gold coins, don't waste time, girls, start quickly."

This night.

There are also scholars who, after returning home, lie down in their own flower gardens that have withered in winter, look at the starry sky and the bright moon, fall into a deep sleep, and imagine the beautiful figure in their dreams.

certainly

This night.

Su Changan had a very pleasant conversation with the Prime Minister's daughter Li Xingyue, and the young master of the Su family, Su Zhaoxin, was beaten quite a lot because Li Xingyue could no longer tolerate it.

This night.

Su Changan learned from his second sister Su Linhan that the prime minister's daughter Li Xingyue also had a nickname called "Li Dazhenzhu". When she was young, she always slept in class, so the teacher called her "Li Dazhenzhu".

This night.

At the end of the poetry meeting, when Su Changan was getting on the carriage, someone shouted "Miss Changan, take care". Su Changan turned around and smiled, attracting countless men and women. Among them, the Eighth Prince's son, who was on the second floor, saw this scene and was moved. He looked at his half-strategist Mr. Fang and said, "It's over. My cousin and I have fallen in love with the same thing again."

This night.

There was a female emperor in the palace who was so angry and jealous that the air in the entire imperial study was filled with sourness.

This night.

Su Changan was assassinated.

…

In the imperial study.

"Twenty-seven!!! Why didn't the assassin just stab her to death!" The empress held the booklet in her hand and bit her lower lip in anger. Her hands were shaking. "And someone asked her about poetry, and she even blushed!"

The more you look

The more rapid the empress's breathing became, the angrier her expression became.

Yan Ruyu, who was standing respectfully outside the curtain, did not dare to say a word.

"And this! The maid came to pour water, and I understand her thanking me, but what does it mean to smile at someone!!"

"And what about peeling a banana for Li Xingyue's big pillow?!"

"This is the most important thing!! Why did you accidentally grab the hand of Miss He's family!!"

"This one too"

Bang!!

But when the empress saw this, she was so angry that she threw the booklet in her hand away.

Yan Ruyu raised her eyes and secretly glanced at the empress behind the curtain.

Seeing that the empress was shaking with anger and her lips were bitten red, he didn't dare to say another word.

"Pick it up!" the empress said.

Yan Ruyu immediately picked up the booklet and handed it back to the empress.

The empress's chest heaved, but she suppressed her anger and opened the book to continue reading.

But as soon as she opened it, the empress became jealous again, because when she lowered her eyebrows, she saw that Su Changan had actually taken a plate of food that another lady had picked for her and ate it all! !

Bang!

After closing the booklet, he was about to throw this disgusting booklet away, but after hesitating for a moment, he just threw it heavily on the side of his dragon bed, and then he was so angry that he wanted to beat Su Changan to death.

After a while, the empress spoke: "Yan Ruyu!"

Yan Ruyu immediately clasped his fists and said, "I am here."

The empress looked at Yan Ruyu and said, "Is this all that you recorded?"

Yan Ruyu immediately said, "According to your majesty's order, from the time Miss Chang'an and I left the mansion until we returned, all of Miss Chang'an's intimate actions with others have been recorded in the book. There are no omissions, and no exaggerations. They are all facts."

Upon hearing this, the empress clenched her fists and said angrily, "That bastard!"

After cursing like this, he asked, "Did those assassins hurt him?"

Yan Ruyu replied: "No one was hurt at all. Lord Su and the Chixia Army discovered it in advance, so..."

But when Yan Ruyu said this, the empress interrupted and asked: "Why didn't you let the assassin kill him?!"

Yan Ruyu looked at the empress behind the curtain in astonishment. She had an angry face and looked like a jealous girl. She clasped her fists and lowered her head, not daring to say a word.

The Empress continued to mutter, "Twenty-seven!! Just going to a poetry gathering, and she's so tempting!! If she really lets her do whatever she wants, it will be disastrous!! Those assassins are also incompetent, how could they..."

But at this point, the empress did not speak again. Instead, she looked at Yan Ruyu and asked, "Is she okay? She is so timid. Maybe she is hoping that you will go back as soon as possible!"

Yan Ruyu said immediately: "I was a little frightened, but I wasn't too scared. According to what Miss Chang'an said, the pricking has become a habit, so I'm not that scared anymore."

The empress seemed amused by what she said, and couldn't help but laugh. But maybe she thought of the records in the book again, and she got angry again: "Humph! She's getting more and more slick! But she's so timid, especially since she just attended a poetry meeting, and so many people came to assassinate those people. I'm really anxious. Have you found out anything?"

Yan Ruyu immediately replied, "They are all assassins from the underworld. The methods they use are somewhat complicated. I have not been able to see anything. Moreover, they swallowed the poison sacs in their mouths after being caught, so there is no clue at all. However, I have investigated all the underworld people who have entered and left the capital in the past few months, and there must be some clues."

The empress frowned slightly: "Since it is a matter of the martial arts world, let the Shen Ce Mansion investigate it. You don't have to worry about it. You just need to protect Su Changan, and then take three hundred people, and dispatch another hundred people from the Shen Ce Mansion to protect. After all, the Chixia Army is too conspicuous, so dispatch people from the Shen Ce Mansion to protect secretly. The Shen Ce Mansion has more experience than you in things like tonight. That bastard is so fickle, she deserves to be assassinated! But no one can kill her except me!"

Yan Ruyu clasped her fists and said, "Yes!"

The empress gently opened the curtain and looked at Yan Ruyu: "By the way, let me see if you have gained some weight!"

Yan Ruyu was stunned and didn't know how to answer.

The empress walked out directly from behind the curtain, looked Yan Ruyu up and down and asked, "You have gained some weight. Is that bastard such a good cook?"

Yan Ruyu was stunned, and answered carefully: "Yes, there are some delicious ones."

After saying this, Yan Ruyu carefully looked at the empress.

The empress looked resentful and bit her lips in anger, so she immediately said, "When I return, I can ask Miss Chang'an to prepare a few dishes for Your Majesty."

The empress waved her sleeves and turned back to the dragon bed: "I will write something, you take it back and show it to her directly, and then show her this booklet as well!"

Yan Ruyu replied: "Yes!"

finally

Yan Ruyu took the letter and left. When she left, she breathed a sigh of relief.

The empress fell on the dragon bed with a thud!

He was still as angry as ever, and the more he thought about it, the angrier he got. He clenched his fists and hit Longta hard a few times, but he didn't know if it was because he used too much force and it hurt, so he rubbed himself with his hands.

But thinking about that person going home tonight, being assassinated despite such a commotion, and thinking about how timid Su Changan was, she felt a little reluctant: "Aunt, send two more people from your place to protect him secretly, and don't tell Yan Ruyu."

The purple-robed female official appeared at the door right after Yan Ruyu left. When she heard what the empress said, she immediately responded, "Yes."

The female official who had just walked in immediately turned around and left.

The empress also sat up, thinking about what Yan Ruyu had reported to her about what happened tonight. Although she was jealous and angry, she smiled when she thought of how outstanding Su Changan was. "It's so noisy to participate in the poetry meeting, and you are allergic to it. You are afraid of death, so you are really stupid, hum!"

Having said this, the empress picked up a pen and lightly made a stroke on a wooden board beside her.

There are already ten strokes on the wooden board.

Twenty pieces left

Su Changan is about to return to the palace.

but

Looking at the strokes she had drawn that represented the number of days, the empress frowned: "Should I ask someone to protect him? That enemy is so high-profile. What if those people get more angry and send more people to kill him?"

But just after he finished speaking, the worry on his face disappeared, and he showed an angry look again: "She deserved to be assassinated. Who made her so high-profile! Humph!"

then

The Empress lay down again, thinking only of the twenty days left.

Too long!

At this time.

The purple-robed female official was already standing at the door, waiting quietly. Looking at the empress on the dragon bed, who was acting like a loving daughter, she did not disturb her and just waited quietly.

But in my heart

The purple-robed female official was thinking about sending out a few more people.

after all

In order to understand the empress's love troubles these days, she read a lot of books.

One of the books reads:

All lovers in the world have the wish of winning the heart of one person and staying together until old age. However, compared to seeing a beautiful woman’s hair turn gray, they fear more that a beautiful woman will die young and never grow old.

The purple-robed female official did not understand love, but she could understand this sentence.

Look at the empress again

She didn't want the empress to suffer.

…

Here at Su Mansion

Su Changan was sitting in the hall of Yimeiyuan.

It's impossible to say that I wasn't scared when I was stabbed on my way back.

After all, he was sitting in the sedan chair, eating the food packed from the poetry meeting, humming a little tune in his heart, when suddenly a sword appeared in front of him.

How could I not be scared?

But at the same time, Su Changan was also glad.

Fortunately, Su Linhan, Su Wan'er and the others took another carriage when they returned.

Otherwise, thinking about the courage of Su Linhan, Zhu Lin and the others, they might faint again.

As for Su Wan'er and Su Zhaoxin, it might leave some shadows on them at such a young age.

But now

Su Changan looked at the cat sitting on the steps in the hall, with his chin in his hands and a depressed look on his face.

After hesitating for a moment, he stood up and walked over to the cat.

The cat came back earlier than them, so it was there when they came back.

certainly

Su Changan also told Maomao about his assassination attempt.

After that.

This is what cats become.

After sitting down next to Maomao, Su Changan looked at Maomao's depressed expression and said, "Don't think about it. I'm alive and well. Besides, this isn't the first time I've been assassinated. It's okay. Don't think too much."

Maomao tilted her head slightly to look at Su Changan: "I'm not thinking about the fact that you're alive and well. I'm wondering why those people didn't use poison to kill you. I heard from the Chixia Army that they were from the underworld. I'm obviously very interested in some of the strange murderous poisons in the underworld."

Hearing

Very good, you are worthy of being my "plastic bestie"!

Then, Maomao thought for a moment and said, "But it's good to be alive. After all, only if you are alive can I have the chance to see those poisons."

Su Changan thought for a moment and looked at Maomao seriously: "You really want me to live, right? Answer me well. This concerns our friendship."

Maomao was startled for a moment, then immediately revealed a very bright smile: "Yes."

I don't know why.

Su Changan felt that Maomao's smile was a little creepy.

So he decided to change the subject: "How's home?"

Maomao nodded: "It's fine. They like the rouge you gave me very much. I left the money you gave me to them."

Su Changan saw that Maomao was not willing to talk about her family, so he said, "If you want to go back and take a look in the future, just go back. Take the things here with you. The Su family is not short of money anyway. I don't need to go anywhere else in the future. I just need to be careful at home."

Maomao blinked and looked at Su Changan in confusion for a moment: "No, there is a high probability that you will go out later."

Su Changan was puzzled: "Ah?"

Maomao said, "As the champion, you will definitely be invited to many private poetry gatherings or other elegant talks. I heard that the second young lady was invited many times last year, but she rejected them all. But if His Majesty asks you to go, can you refuse?"

Su Changan blinked, what Maomao said made sense.

so.

He must write to the Empress quickly!!

But then he stood up.

But he saw Yan Ruyu walking into the yard.

Didn't you go to see the Empress? Why are you back so soon? But you came back just in time, so I wrote a letter and asked her to help deliver it.

While Su Changan was thinking and walking towards the desk.

Yan Ruyu had already come to her side and said, "Your Majesty has a letter and a book for you."

Su Changan took it and opened the booklet first because it was on top.

"Hmm?" Su Changan looked at the first item in the booklet and was confused.
