For the next two days, Concubine Shu kept investigating Xiao Shunzi's affairs. Xiao Shunzi eventually bit his tongue and committed suicide without revealing the mastermind behind the incident.
Concubine Shu was extremely angry, but she couldn't find the culprit, so she could only protect Su Siyi more closely.
At this time, the queen also caused trouble. She even tried to commit suicide. If the palace maids had not come in to deliver food and rescued her in time, she would have died.
Although the queen was in a very bad situation, she still had to keep her reputation, so Concubine Yun and Concubine Shu had to take care of it. After the queen woke up, she refused to eat or drink, and only said that she wanted to see Su Chenyu.
Concubine Yun and Concubine Shu had no choice but to ask Emperor Jing of Wei for instructions.
Emperor Jing of Wei sat behind his desk, twirling the ring on his thumb. No one could guess what he was thinking, and Concubine Yun and Concubine Shu did not dare to speak.
After a long while, Chen Laifu finally spoke up and said, "Your Majesty, the title of Queen was saved by the Queen Mother. If something really happened to the Queen, the Queen Mother would definitely be upset. Why not let Duke Fengyi go on this trip?"
If the queen died, the queen mother would definitely think that Emperor Jing of Wei was dissatisfied with her decision, and there would inevitably be rifts between the two families.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jing of Wei said, "Laifu, then you go and ask Fengyi to meet the queen."
Chen Lai Fu took the order and went to the Weiyang Palace.
Su Chenyu had known about the Queen's affairs for a long time. She was reluctant to see the Queen, but since Chen Laifu came in person, Su Chenyu still had to give some face to Emperor Jing of Wei.
"If Prince Consort meets the Queen and makes her angry to death, the Queen will not blame Prince Consort, right?" Su Chenyu sat sideways on the couch, leaning against the couch table and reading a book without even lifting her eyelids.
The smile on Chen Laifu's face seemed to be trained, always the same, revealing a humble flattery: "The Queen wants to see you, then after you see her, what happens to her afterwards has nothing to do with you, after all, this is the Queen's own request."
"Let's go." Su Chenyu put down the book in her hand, stood up and followed Chen Lai Fu.
At the gate of the Queen's palace, Chen Laifu stopped Aunt Xu and said, "Aunt, please wait outside. I will accompany the prince inside."
Chen Lai Fu followed Su Chenyu in. In just a few days, the palace seemed extremely desolate.
After pushing open the palace door, Chen Lai Fu did not follow in, and Su Chenyu walked in alone.
The queen still sat on the phoenix throne in the Yu Palace, as if as long as she sat on this position, she would still be the queen of Dayu.
But some things have changed after all, at least her appearance is no longer the same as before. There are a few strands of hair mixed in her original black long hair, and wrinkles have appeared at the corners of her eyes.
Su Chenyu estimated that in a few days, she might look even older.
The palace door closed, and the queen opened her eyes. She looked at Su Chenyu standing in the center of the palace, with a hint of unwillingness in her eyes: "Su Chenyu, I didn't lose to you, I just lost to the Li family behind you!"
Su Chenyu walked to the chair next to her and sat down: "The Queen went to so much trouble to see me, just to argue with me about winning or losing?"
The queen stood up from the phoenix throne, walked down the steps step by step, and came in front of Su Chenyu.
The queen felt humiliated with every step she took, but she had no choice.
Finally, the queen knelt down in front of Su Chenyu. Su Chenyu did not stop her, but just watched leisurely: "What does the queen mean by this?"
"I beg you, let Rui'an go."
"I don't understand what the Queen said."
"Rui An is no match for you. Please spare her this time. I just hope she can live well."
