Chapter 251 Concubine Hui's Plan

"Mother, I have successfully offered a betrothal gift to Su Yue." As soon as Shangguan Nanfeng saw Concubine Hui, he told Su Xin a piece of news that shocked her.

"What? That Su Yue is actually willing to marry you?" Before Concubine Hui could speak, Su Xin could not help but ask, her tone full of doubt.

"Are you meddling too much?" Shangguan Nanfeng then realized that there was another person next to his mother, and his face immediately fell.

"Hmph!" After hearing Shangguan Nanfeng's words, Su Xin turned around and walked out without saying anything else.

But he quietly stopped not far away, wanting to learn more about Su Yue's situation.

"My son, what exactly is this betrothal gift you mentioned?" Concubine Hui raised her head and looked at her son. During these days in the cold palace, she deliberately did not interfere too much in her son's affairs.

One was that she wanted her son to be more mature, and the other was that she wanted to set an example for the emperor.

She has been thinking about one thing these days: Can a favored woman really become pregnant in just seven days?

She once asked her maid to ask the imperial physician about this issue in a subtle way, but the imperial physician did not deny it very affirmatively, but only said that it was possible.

Then there is the Emperor. He had never expected that Concubine Yi would be pregnant, which was why she tricked him. However, the Emperor was too quick to make a judgment on the matter.

It was as if he had known that Concubine Yi was pregnant. The process of framing him was so smooth that the emperor didn't even listen to his explanation.

If it was because Concubine Yi looked like Concubine Xian that the Emperor loved her and all of her, then could the Emperor, who doted on Concubine Yi so much, really have the heart to banish her to the cold palace?

"Mother, what are you thinking about?" Shangguan Nanfeng saw Concubine Hui staring blankly ahead with empty eyes and not saying a word, so he asked.

"My son, what brings you here this time?" After hearing Shangguan Nanfeng's words, Concubine Hui came back to her senses and asked softly while looking at her son.

"That's right, mother." Shangguan Nanfeng then recounted the story of how Su Yue accepted the betrothal gift and how he was humiliated by Su Yue afterwards. However, in order to prevent anyone from eavesdropping, he did not mention the threat to Su Yue.

"My prince, what you mean is that Mrs. Gu is angry now, and Su Yue is avoiding us, so it's difficult to negotiate a wedding date, right?" After hearing Shangguan Nanfeng's words, Concubine Hui directly expressed her concerns.

"Mother, that's right. I thought that since you are about the same age as Su Yue's biological mother, you should know a little bit about what Gu is thinking, so I wanted to ask you if you have any solution."

Shangguan Nanfeng looked at Concubine Hui, anxiety flashing in his eyes. The situation at the border could not be kept secret for long, and his marriage with Su Yue had to be completed as soon as possible.

"Although I don't know what this Gu likes, all mothers in this world love their children." Concubine Hui hesitated for a while before speaking.

"But this Gu family only has one daughter, Su Yue."

When Shangguan Nanfeng heard what his mother said, there was a look of confusion in his eyes. Could it be that his mother meant to threaten Gu with Su Yue's life?

"My son, I'm afraid that Mrs. Gu doesn't know the reason why Su Yue had to marry you. If Mrs. Gu knew it, no matter what the reason was, if she could restrain Su Yue, she could definitely restrain Su Yue's mother."

After Concubine Hui finished speaking, she turned her head slightly, and her beautiful eyes glanced out of the half-open window intentionally or unintentionally.

"Yes, mother, why didn't I think of that? Gu must not know, otherwise she would not be so calm."

After hearing Concubine Hui's words, Shangguan Nanfeng's eyes lit up, as if the problem that had been bothering him had been solved.

"Mother, I won't delay any longer. I will go to discuss the wedding date right away." Shangguan Nanfeng said as he was about to walk away, but was stopped by Concubine Hui.

"My son, when are you going to set the wedding date? Your mother is in the cold palace now, and there are many things she can't help with. Please look for your uncle and the others."

After Concubine Hui finished speaking, she took a few steps towards the window and saw a familiar pearl flower. Then a fierce look flashed in her eyes.

Anyone who dares to frame her must be prepared to suffer a fate worse than death.

"Mother, the sooner the better. Ten days from now will be an auspicious day. I will go and marry Su Yue then."

Shangguan Nanfeng had already asked someone to match his and Su Yue's horoscopes. The earliest auspicious day would take ten days. He was still a little worried when he thought about it.

After all, so many things can happen in ten days.

"Well, my emperor, you did a great job. No matter how anxious you are, you must choose an auspicious day. Otherwise, it will be bad if someone with ulterior motives uses it to make trouble."

When Concubine Hui heard Shangguan Nanfeng report the date, she nodded with satisfaction.

Then he took out a piece of letter and handed it to Shangguan Nanfeng.

"My son, listen to your mother. Don't open this letter unless it is absolutely necessary." After Concubine Hui said this, she placed the letter in Shangguan Nanfeng's hands with a serious expression.

"Okay, Feng'er will listen to my mother." Shangguan Nanfeng took the envelope, stuffed it into his arms, bowed to Concubine Hui, and hurried out the door.

Today, I must set the wedding date with Su Yue.

Su Xin, who was eavesdropping on the other side, learned that Shangguan Nanfeng was actually going to marry Su Yue. She was so angry that she clenched her hands tightly. She didn't even feel the pain when her long nails pierced into her palms.

Wasn't Su Yue the one in love with the Third Prince? Why is she now hooking up with the Second Prince?

Or maybe Su Yue had always been interested in the second prince, and was just playing around with the third prince? After all, the third prince had always been in poor health, and no normal woman would be willing to marry him and become a widow.

The more Su Xin thought about it, the more she felt that her guess was correct. However, when she thought about how miserable her life was now, and that Su Yue was going to become a noble prince's consort in ten days, she could no longer suppress the anger in her heart.

If it weren't for Su Yue, she would still be the noble daughter of the prime minister, with plenty of outstanding men in the imperial city for her to choose from. She is the best in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and her appearance is not inferior to those daughters of aristocratic families.

As long as Su Yue and her daughter don't come back, it's only a matter of time before her biological mother is officially promoted to the position of the prince. Then, the one who will marry the second prince in ten days will be her, Su Xin.

But she has nothing now. Since Su Yue has forced her into a dead end, even if she dies, she will drag Su Yue with her to be buried with her!

A plan quietly formed in Su Xin's mind. Then she glanced at the cold palace full of cobwebs, her eyes full of desperate intention.

"Concubine Yi, you'd better not let me down." Concubine Hui looked at Su Xin's disappearing back, a sinister smile appearing at the corner of her mouth.

She is just a concubine who has just entered the palace not long ago. She just hasn't figured out some things before. Does Concubine Yi really think that she can defeat her who has been immersed in the harem for decades?

"He is just a simple-minded fool. If he can really cause trouble during the emperor's wedding, this fool will be valuable."

After Concubine Hui finished speaking softly, she did not stay any longer and walked towards her room.

As for why she, as a mother, wanted to plot against Concubine Yi to disrupt her son's wedding, she naturally knew the reason, because she had to make sure of one thing.

"Meow~" When the cold palace returned to its previous quietness, a cat's cry suddenly sounded, which sounded even more mournful in this empty cold palace.
