Chapter 360: Tasted the pain she felt back then
Yu Shengsheng lowered her eyes, took a few steps forward, and bowed to greet him.
"Your servant Yu Shengsheng is here to receive the emperor's order."
Fu Qingyin said slowly, "The emperor said that Yu Shengsheng is weak in body but brave in heart, and has shared my worries many times. This time, I will grant you three incense sticks, and you will burn the incense yourself. When you come back, tell me your experience of burning incense."
Yu Shengsheng bowed respectfully again: "I obey your command."
Fu Qingyin waved his sleeves, and Hei Bai came forward holding a box.
"Princess, these are the three incense sticks given to you by the Emperor. Use them to burn incense tomorrow."
"Yes." Yu Shengsheng quickly took it with both hands.
Fu Qingyin tilted her head to look at Eunuch Zhao: "Do you have anything else to say?"
Eunuch Zhao looked at the incense in Yu Shengsheng's hand and his back teeth were about to break.
How could such a bastard girl win the emperor's favor? The queen clearly wanted to punish her and show her power, but why...
When asked by Fu Qingyin, Eunuch Zhao had to endure it even though he was unwilling to accept it.
"No, it's alright. Do you have any other instructions? If not, I will take my leave first. I have to go back and report to the Queen."
Fu Qingyin didn't even say a word, just waved his sleeves, signaling him to leave quickly.
Eunuch Zhao came with a strong aura, but walked in gloomily, his horse was standing in a mess, and he was almost startled.
He turned around and around in circles several times before climbing onto the horse's back and quickly fleeing.
Just as he reached the intersection, he somehow fell off his horse again, groaning on the ground. He was hired by several eunuchs to carry him back to the palace in a sedan chair.
Fu Qingyin looked at everyone in the Su Mansion. Su Zhiyi was sitting in a wheelchair with a changing expression.
Fu Qingyin's eyes swept across her, calmly, as if he was simply ignoring her.
Su Huaiyuan stepped forward quickly and said, "Commander-in-chief, I am sorry for not welcoming you. Please go to the front hall and have a cup of tea."
Fu Qingyin didn't want to drink his tea: "No need."
Madam Su mustered up her courage and said, "Commander-in-chief, I wonder how my two sons are doing? Can I go and see them?"
Fu Qingyin glanced at Yu Shengsheng and said, "According to the law, their crimes are serious and they cannot be visited. But for Princess Rongyang's sake, we can meet them."
Mrs. Su's face lit up with joy and she looked at Yu Shengsheng with gratitude.
"Thank you, Commander. It's also thanks to Shengsheng."
Fu Qingyin nodded: "Madam Su, just thank the princess."
"Have you prepared everything for burning incense?"
Yu Shengsheng bowed and said, "Report to the commander, everything is ready."
"In that case, please do your job well, Princess. Burn the incense tomorrow, and report your experience to the emperor when you return. Both are indispensable."
"Yes, I've made note of it."
After Fu Qingyin finished speaking, he raised his eyelids and looked at Su Zhiyi.
Su Zhiyi's heart trembled when she was looked at by him. Just as she was about to greet him, he had already withdrawn his gaze.
Su Zhiyi clenched his fists, filled with resentment.
It’s Fu Qingyin again, standing up for Yu Shengsheng again!
Damn it! He clearly said that Yu Shengsheng would be kept in the mansion to copy scriptures and she was not allowed to go at all. Yet he brought an oral order, not only not allowing her to go but also granting her incense!
If it weren't for Fu Qingyin, how could Yu Shengsheng have the ability to make the emperor remember to issue an oral order?
Su Zhiyi's murderous intent grew stronger. Well, since Yu Shengsheng wants to go, let her die in Hongyuan Temple!
Fu Qingyin didn't drink the tea either. He explained everything to Yu Shengsheng and then led his people away.
Mrs. Su was very happy, firstly because Yu Shengsheng could go again, and secondly because she could see her two sons.
"Shengsheng, thanks to you, I will go to see them this afternoon and buy some things. What else do you want?"
Yu Shengsheng shook her head: "No need."
Mrs. Su felt a pang in her heart, remembering that she had never cared about her in the past. Now that she wanted to care about her, she didn't want anything.
Seeing Su Zhiyi about to leave, he couldn't help but blurt out, "Zhiyi, wait a minute."
Su Zhiyi stopped, and Madam Su walked up to her and looked at her.
"Mother, what's wrong?"
Madam Su looked serious: "Zhiyi, why did you speak to Eunuch Zhao like that just now?"
Su Zhiyi looked confused: "What did I say? Mother, what do you mean by that?"
"I told you yesterday that you had difficulty walking and asked you to stay at home. Today you should tell Eunuch Zhao that you had difficulty walking."
"If only one person can go, then let Shengsheng go. After all, she has good legs and feet."
Su Zhiyi's eyes were slightly red. "Mother, what did I say was wrong? You just gave me a look, and I knew you wanted her to go and didn't want me to go, so I let her go. I said it according to your wishes, and you are still not satisfied?"
"Mother, what did I do wrong? Why do you hate me so much now? Tell me, what should I do to satisfy you?"
After she said this, tears welled up in her eyelashes, but she refused to let them fall.
She seemed like an innocent girl who had suffered humiliation, while Mrs. Su seemed like an unreasonable person who only knew how to bully her.
Mrs. Su felt like there was something stuck in her throat.
Su Huaiyuan sighed, came over and advised: "Okay, now everyone is happy, both children can go, don't say anything more."
Mrs. Su was very unhappy: "What did I say? I didn't say anything."
"Okay, why are you arguing with the child?" Su Huaiyuan's face darkened. "Zhiyi, go back to the yard and have a rest. You have to go out early tomorrow morning."
"Yes, father."
Su Zhiyi lowered her eyes and the maid pushed her away.
Mrs. Su felt choked up and wanted to explain to Su Huaiyuan, but Su Huaiyuan just waved his sleeves and left.
Yu Shengsheng turned around and went back to the courtyard.
Madam Su stood there and sighed heavily.
The old woman comforted him softly, "Madam, don't get angry and hurt yourself."
Madam Su whispered in a low voice, her tone full of displeasure: "How can I not be angry? You saw what happened just now. She was telling the truth, but did she say that in a good tone?"
"I haven't said anything yet, just..."
Mrs. Su suddenly stopped, her heart seemed to be gripped by a big hand, her throat felt blocked and her nose felt sore.
Before, whenever Shengsheng and Su Zhiyi had conflicts, had anyone ever spoken up for Shengsheng? And had anyone ever seen Shengsheng's grievances?
She is now just like Shengsheng back then.
Time and time again, that child... must be extremely uncomfortable.
Yu Shengsheng didn't know about Mrs. Su's change of mood at this moment, and even if she knew, she no longer cared.
Jin Baobao clapped his hands happily and laughed: "Miss, did you see Su Zhiyi's face? It's all green!"
Lu Hu pursed her lips and smiled: "It's not green, it's clearly purple."
Jin Baobao felt happy: "Humph, I told her to be so arrogant. Look at her smug look, she deserves it!"
Lu Hu handed Yu Shengsheng a cup of tea and said, "Miss, why did the Queen issue such an order?"
Yu Shengsheng took a sip of tea and thought: "That's a good question."
"Not only did this decree come, but it also came so quickly and timely, just in time to solve Su Zhiyi's dilemma."
"If this decree came tomorrow, it would be too late, but it happened today."
Jin Baobao frowned and said, "There are only two possibilities."
"Which two?"
