Chapter 4 Old Master
"Chen Yu, I have lived to this point and my life is almost over. This life is of no use to me. If I can save you, it will be worth it!"
Baili Yanqing's words lingered in Su Chenyu's mind over and over again. Even in her dreams, she could not feel at peace.
“Don’t, don’t die…”
Su Chenyu suddenly opened her eyes and gasped heavily. The scene of Baili Yanqing dying in front of her seemed to be engraved in her mind. She could not forget it and it had become an obsession.
Running out of fuel?
How could the oil run out?
She remembered that Baili Yanqing grew up in the military camp with his father, the Duke of Zhenguo. Two days ago, he injured his leg in a battle and was sent to the capital for treatment.
She remembered that in her previous life, after her marriage, Baili Yanqing's legs gradually got better and she looked like a normal person.
But why, at that time, did Baili Yanqing say the four words "the oil is exhausted and the lamp is running out"?
Could it be that something happened that she didn't know about?
Aunt Xu's voice rang out outside her door: "Princess, what's wrong with you?"
"It's okay, I just had a nightmare."
Concubine Li died when she was young, leaving her with many palace maids. Now there is only one Madam Xu left in Weiyang Palace. In her previous life, Madam Xu also died to protect her.
It must not be easy for Aunt Xu to stay in Weiyang Palace until now.
"Madame Xu, please come in."
Madam Xu thought that Su Chenyu was frightened because she had killed someone today: "Princess, those people deserved to die today, please don't take it to heart."
"I'm not worried about this, Ma'am. Do you have any way to send a message to grandpa and the others?" Su Chenyu had no one at her disposal, so after thinking it over, she decided to rely on Ma'am Xu.
Madam Xu looked at Su Chenyu, hesitated for a moment, and asked, "Princess, do you really no longer believe in the Queen?"
Su Chenyu knew that Aunt Xu was worried: "How can I still trust them when they plot against me like this?"
After all, she was her young mistress, so Aunt Xu couldn't bear to see her isolated and helpless: "Princess, when Concubine Chen passed away, she left someone in the capital for you."
"What do you mean?"
"In the beginning, the ancestors of the Su family and the Li family worked together to establish the Great Yu Empire. In the end, it was the Su family that sat on the throne, and the Li family was in charge of the military power. In order to make up for the Li family, the ancestor emperor allowed one person in the Li family to train secret guards from generation to generation. In this generation of the Li family, the one in charge of the secret guards is the Concubine Chen."
"Concubine Xi?" Su Chenyu continued to ask, "Concubine Xi has such ability, why did she choose to be a concubine when my father became emperor?"
She originally thought that Concubine Li was made a concubine because Emperor Jing of Wei was not trustworthy. However, Concubine Li was in charge of the Li family's secret guards. How could she not be able to do anything when facing the untrustworthy Emperor Jing of Wei?
There is only one possibility, that Concubine Li voluntarily gave up the position of Queen.
Aunt Xu listened to Su Chenyu's question and felt relieved. The young master was really smart and was just blinded by the queen before. "I asked you this question before, but you didn't say anything. Maybe you have to find the answer yourself."
"Are you also a secret guard?" Su Chenyu got the clue from the word "master".
Madam Xu nodded, "That's right, but I don't know how to fight. I was brought into the palace by my master because of my great medical skills. These days, in order to stay in Weiyang Palace to look after the young master, I can only be a blind and deaf servant. I just hope I won't be suspected by the people sent by the queen."
"Madam Xu, you have suffered."
