Chapter 232: Death of Concubine Yun
Su Chenyu shook her head: "Yan Qing, do you know why I won you this time?"
"Why?"
Su Chenyu picked up a chess piece and looked at it against the light: “At first I just treated them as chess pieces and just used them.
But if I treat them as my friends, then you are controlling so many chess pieces by yourself to fight against so many of us.
From the beginning to the end, you are alone. No matter how well you plan, there will be times when you can't take care of it. And we can only achieve the final victory by helping each other."
Listening to Su Chenyu's words, Baili Yanqing smiled with some relief: "I think I understand."
To Su Chenyu, Concubine Shu was never a pawn, but an ally.
Therefore, Concubine Shu can respond to the ever-changing situation, but a chess piece can only stay in a fixed position and never have freedom. What can it accomplish?
"Have you thought of a gift?"
"It has been prepared long ago." Su Chenyu instructed Madam Xu, "Madam, send it to the palace later along with other gifts."
Madam Xu understood what Su Chenyu meant and didn't want others to know the relationship between her and Concubine Shu: "Don't worry."
Su Chenyu prepared a set of white jade ornaments for Concubine Shu, which were flawless and clear.
It is obvious that Su Chenyu put a lot of thought into finding such a perfect set of white jade ornaments.
Later that day, Nanny Xu came back from the palace and immediately reported the situation to the Imperial Concubine.
Su Chenyu asked, "Does the Imperial Concubine like it?"
Madam Xu nodded, and then placed a bottle of medicine on Su Chenyu's desk: "Xiao, this bottle of medicine was given to you by the Imperial Concubine."
It turned out that after Concubine Shu was promoted to Imperial Concubine, she immediately cleaned up the Empress Dowager's palace and found many things. However, the Empress Dowager hid this bottle of medicine very well. The Imperial Concubine felt that it was unusual, but she didn't dare to ask the imperial doctor to check it, so she asked Madam Xu to take it out of the palace.
"Madam, can't you see it either?" Madam Xu's medical skills are not low. If even she can't identify the medicine, there must be something fishy about it.
Madam Xu shook her head: "I'm afraid we still have to let Princess Xin test it."
"Then keep it first." Su Chenyu said, "Ruqin will be married in two days. I won't be able to buy her dowry for the Yan family on that day, so I'll just give the things to you first."
"Yes." Madam Xu walked away.
The wind suddenly blew outside. Baili Yanqing walked to the window and closed it: "Why did the weather suddenly change tonight?"
As soon as I closed the window, a flash of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by thunder and heavy rain.
"Let's rest early. I guess the weather will get cooler after this rain." Su Chenyu yawned, obviously feeling sleepy.
Baili Yanqing found her so adorable, so he walked up to her, stretched out his hand and rubbed the top of her head, then picked her up and said, "I will carry you to the bed."
"Okay." Su Chenyu felt very safe in Baili Yanqing's arms and fell asleep quickly.
At this moment, in the palace, mournful wails continued to be heard from Concubine Yun's palace, accompanied by bursts of knocking on the door: "I am the Imperial Concubine. The Emperor made a mistake. I want to find the Emperor. How dare you lock me up? Let me out, let me out quickly..."
Outside the door stood Cai Quan and several palace servants.
Cai's clothes were a little wet. The rain was so heavy that even with an umbrella, he couldn't avoid getting wet.
