Chapter 57 How dare she, in front of the emperor, stir up Xiao Heye's heartstrings?



Listening to the Rain Pavilion.

"How come you were perfectly fine when you went out and came back injured?" Qingwu bent over and looked at the wound on Liuwan's palm with a suspicious expression.

Su Tiyue lowered her head and carefully applied the medicine for her, feeling very distressed.

In the heat of the moment, Liu Wan was accidentally thrown away by Xiao Heye while trying to grab her.

Fortunately, it was just a minor scrape on my palm.

Liu Wan smiled and squinted at Qing Wu, saying, "The road was too slippery. It's my own fault for being careless and falling."

"Your Highness, I'm alright." She turned her head and said softly.

Su Tiyue gently blew on the spot where the medicine had just been applied, "It's bleeding, and you still say it's nothing."

Liu Wan withdrew her hand and said nonchalantly, "It's just a superficial injury, nothing serious."

Su Tiyue nodded. "Then you should take good care of your injuries these next few days and remember not to get them wet. You can leave the matters of Tingyu Tower to Qingwu, understand?"

Liu Wan hummed in agreement, then lowered her head and said nothing more.

With a slight sting in her eyes, Liu Wan didn't even dare to look at Su Tiyue.

She felt terrible, but she didn't know who to talk to.

In this palace, probably no one understands the master's situation better than Liu Wan.

First, he was summoned to the Hall of Longevity to dine with the Emperor. On the way back, he was angrily dragged into the woods by Master Xiao. Although it is unknown what they talked about, judging from Master Xiao's appearance, it was definitely not a good thing...

The mistress was already struggling in the palace, and Liu Wan couldn't help her at all; instead, she only made things worse for her.

The more she thought about it, the more upset she became.

At this moment, Xiao Anzi came in from outside and said, "Your Majesty, Eunuch Li says he wants to see you."

Li Xun?

Su Tiyue frowned and looked at Liu Wan for a while.

It's so late, could he be here at Tingyu Tower to invite someone?

In the past, when Li Xun came to Tingyu Tower at night, it was always because he was ordered to invite people.

But tonight...

They had clearly just met in the Imperial Garden, and the two had a falling out, so there was no reason for Xiao Heye to want to see her now.

"Xiao Anzi, let him in."

After thinking for a moment, Su Tiyue decided to meet with Li Xun. Coincidentally, she also had something she wanted to ask him.

About Xiao Heye.

When Li Xun entered, Su Tiyue was the only one sitting on the rose chair in the large main hall.

"This servant greets Consort Shu." He bowed slightly and gave a salute.

"What brings you to see me so late, Eunuch Li?"

Li Xun nodded: "Your Majesty, it's like this, the tea you sent to the Chief Supervisor not long ago is gone... Every time the Chief Supervisor returns, this servant brews a pot in advance. I wonder if Your Majesty still has any of that tea?"

"So that's what it is?" Su Tiyue smiled and asked him, "Does your supervisor really like Cloud Mist Tea?"

"The Grand Supervisor now only drinks Cloud Mist Tea," Li Xun answered honestly.

Su Tiyue said, "I still have some here. I'll have Xiao Anzi give them to Eunuch Li later."

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Li Xun finished speaking and was about to leave when Su Tiyue stopped him: "Eunuch Li, I have a few questions for you."

"Please speak, Your Majesty."

"The day you left the palace was the night my second brother had his accident... What exactly happened? Why did your supervisor seem like a completely different person when he returned..."

Li Xun lowered his head, thought for a moment, and said, "This servant did not feel that the Chief Eunuch was different from usual. I wonder what Your Majesty is trying to say...?"

“Eunuch Li thinks he hasn’t changed, but I think he has…”

Su Tiyue didn't know how to tell him, but in short, Xiao Heye was different from before; he had become more indifferent and ruthless...

Having worked his way up in the palace for so many years, Li Xun must have some skills to be able to serve by Xiao Heye's side.

He is perceptive and good at reading people.

In fact, he had already guessed Su Tiyue's thoughts when she asked her first question.

However, he was pondering which words he should say and which words he shouldn't say.

"Your Majesty, do you feel that the Chief Supervisor is not as kind to you as before?" he asked bluntly.

Su Tiyue nodded repeatedly in agreement. It was rare to find someone as clever as Li Xun. She had been rambling on for a long time but hadn't managed to say those words out loud.

With a smile on his face, Li Xun slowly said, "Has Your Highness ever wondered why... the Deputy Supervisor hasn't caused you any trouble lately?"

Cold Boat?

What... what does this have to do with Han Zhou?

Han Zhou is Xiao Heye's younger brother. The fact that he hasn't caused him any more trouble must be because Xiao Heye gave this unruly younger brother a good beating...

What else?

Su Tiyue didn't understand, "What does Eunuch Li mean by this? I was asking about Master Xiao..."

"Doesn't Your Highness understand? The better the Supervisor treats you, the more trouble you'll have..."

"Then..." Su Tiyue scratched her head, puzzled, and asked, "So that means he's not nice to me because he doesn't want anyone to cause me trouble?"

Li Xun said, "Your Majesty's understanding is not without reason."

What is this all about?

Su Tiyue's hair was all messed up from scratching, but she still couldn't figure it out: "Even so, there's no need for him to actually send me to the Hall of Longevity, is there? Eunuch Li, what do you think?"

Li Xun was also stumped by the question. After a pause, he said nervously, "This... this servant dares not presume to guess what my master is thinking. Besides, this servant has already spoken out of turn today. If the Grand Eunuch asks about it in the future, Your Highness, please don't expose this servant."

"Of course not. I will keep silent about what Eunuch Li said today."

"Then this servant will take his leave." Li Xun bowed and left the room.
