After returning to the palace that day, it seemed that everyone's lives gradually returned to normal.
Han Zhou stayed at Qiu Shui Residence to recuperate, and just as he had promised, he did not cause Su Tiyue any more trouble.
Su Tiyue was still running between Yelan Pavilion and Tingyu Tower as before, but Xiao Heye seemed to be very busy these days.
Sometimes, you won't see him for two or three days in a row.
Su Tiyue also had a rare moment of leisure.
Time flies when you have free time.
After the Empress Dowager passed away, Su Tiyue had one less place to go in the palace. Fortunately, the Empress Dowager was gentle and kind, and somehow...
During this period, the Empress Dowager seemed to treat Su Tiyue even better than before.
Every now and then, someone would send over some rare and precious snacks and fruits, which made Su Tiyue feel flattered.
Su Tiyue was always well-mannered and could not accept the Empress Dowager's favors for nothing.
To express her feelings, she made some green rice dumplings and hibiscus cakes by hand and sent them to the Empress Dowager in her spare time. Over time, the two became quite familiar with each other.
Su Tiyue began visiting Yongshou Palace more and more frequently.
To get to Yongshou Palace, one must pass through Xinrong Palace, and the mistress of Xinrong Palace is none other than Consort Wan.
Previously, due to the Xiao Anzi incident, Su Tiyue and Consort Wan's relationship had been very strained, so even when they met, they would go their separate ways and ignore each other.
However, fate had other plans, and Su Tiyue never expected to run into such an embarrassing and heart-pounding situation.
That night, a gentle breeze was blowing.
Su Tiyue and Empress Dowager Shen Mei chatted idly, forgetting the time. By the time she left Yongshou Palace, it was already past midnight.
Unfortunately, Liu Wan usually accompanied Su Tiyue when they went to Yongshou Palace, but on that particular day, Liu Wan had a fever and didn't go with her.
On a dark and windy night, most of the palace lanterns on the path had already gone out.
Because it was so late, there wasn't a soul on the street.
As Su Tiyue passed by the entrance of Xinrong Palace, a rustling sound reached her ears, followed by the seductive and soft moans of Consort Wan, each one more alluring than the last.
If you listen closely, you can also hear a deep, magnetic male voice.
Clearly, Su Tiyue immediately realized what had happened inside Xinrong Palace.
In the dead of night, a man and a woman alone together, what else could it be but that?
To live peacefully in this palace, it's best to avoid trouble. Su Tiyue is not one to stir up trouble.
However, she was quite interested in Consort Wan's romantic escapades, and moreover...
The door to Xinrong Palace wasn't closed tightly; it seemed as if a crack had been left specifically for Su Tiyue to see through.
Su Tiyue tiptoed closer to the door, then held her breath and stared intently inside.
Consort Wan was seen leaning against the artificial rockery of Xinrong Palace, her legs dangling in the air, almost hanging on the man in front of her. Her clothes were half-undone, making her quite alluring…
They embraced tightly, kissing passionately and nibbling at each other.
The man had his back to the palace gate, so Su Tiyue couldn't see his face at all.
The night was dark, and only the man's tall and upright figure could be seen, along with his gray-white brocade robe and the dark green jade pendant hanging from his waist, which looked quite valuable.
Su Tiyue boldly guessed that this person was of noble and illustrious status and was definitely not an ordinary person.
only……
These two are really something, are they in such a hurry?
Even if it's adultery... at least go back inside.
Su Tiyue frowned, and just as she was about to sneak away, a sudden gust of wind blew the door in front of her, which was not closed properly, shut shut.
Clearly, Su Tiyue was startled by the gust of cold wind. She quickly shrank back, pressing her back tightly against the wall of Xinrong Palace, praying that the two people inside would not discover anything.
Consort Wan was facing the door. The moment she looked up after hearing the noise, she actually saw the figure outside the door, but she didn't say anything. She was very clever.
Consort Wan gently patted Zhou Lin's shoulder without saying a word, but gave him a wink to let him know that there were people outside.
Zhou Lin understood, released the woman from his arms, and took steady, silent steps to gently explore the outside.
Consort Wan knew that if her disgraceful affair with the Prince of Huainan were exposed, the consequences would be unimaginable. So when Zhou Lin turned to look at her again...
Consort Wan raised her hand and made a throat-slitting gesture with her fingers, meaning she wanted Zhou Lin to kill her to silence her.
...
It was so quiet, so very quiet.
It was eerily quiet; something was definitely off inside.
Su Tiyue leaned against the wall, clutching her chest with her hand. Her heart was pounding so hard it felt like it would jump out of her chest. If only she had known... if only she had known it would turn out like this, she shouldn't have been curious and shouldn't have peeked.
It seems I've been exposed.
Su Tiyue knew in her heart that Consort Wan was ruthless and vicious, and if she fell into her hands, she probably wouldn't even know how she died.
There's really no other way right now, we have to run...
Su Tiyue gritted her teeth and took another step back.
She started walking slowly, then turned a corner and walked onto a more secluded and quiet cobblestone path. Su Tiyue mustered up her courage and glanced back. Finding that no one was following her, she breathed a deep sigh of relief.
But she remained vigilant, gradually shifting from a brisk walk to a jog.
If you continue south along the pebble path, you will reach the vicinity of Taiye Pond, and once you get there, Tingyu Tower will not be far away.
Thinking she had escaped a disaster, Su Tiyue was secretly delighted.
