Huayang Palace.
When Consort Su heard that Xuan Yuan Yu had been injured by Xuan Yuan Zhan, she was so angry that she immediately wanted to go out and confront Xuan Yuan Zhan and Bai Shi, but she was stopped by the Imperial Guards as soon as she reached the door.
"How dare you!" Consort Su was furious when she saw that these Imperial Guards actually dared to stop her!
The Imperial Guards looked at Consort Su with difficulty: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has ordered that you must remain in your quarters for a month. During this month, you are not allowed to leave Huayang Palace."
"Get out of my way!"
Consort Su became angry and tried to force her way in.
The Imperial Guards could only draw their swords and block her path: "Your Majesty, please do not make things difficult for your humble servants."
When Consort Su saw that they were serious, she became even angrier.
The Emperor really intends to confine her to her quarters!
She had thought that if she behaved herself for a few days, the matter might pass, but she didn't expect the emperor to be serious!
Unable to leave, Consort Su couldn't really cause trouble with these Imperial Guards. Firstly, it would be beneath her dignity, and secondly, if word got back to the Emperor, her punishment would likely be even more severe.
Consort Su took a deep breath and said angrily, "Go and tell the Emperor that I want to see him!"
Consort Su's words once again put the Imperial Guards in a difficult position.
What kind of talk is this? Calling the Emperor to see her? Who would dare spread such a message?!
Seeing that her words had no effect, Consort Su instantly became angry again: "Are they all deaf? I want to see the Emperor, go and inform him at once!"
"yes."
As the emperor's favorite concubine and the one in charge of the harem, they dared not neglect her.
An imperial guard immediately ran to Chengqian Palace to report.
Inside Chengqian Palace, Xuanyuan Peng didn't even lift his eyelids when he heard the Imperial Guard's report. He knew all too well why Consort Su was demanding to see him; she couldn't even stay still while under house arrest!
Before long, the Imperial Guard returned to Huayang Palace and reported: "Your Majesty, the Emperor has instructed you to remain in your confinement without worry, saying that any matters should be discussed after a month, once you are released from confinement."
Consort Su was filled with anticipation, but instead received such a heartless reply from Xuan Yuanpeng, which instantly enraged her. She glared at the Imperial Guards, feeling a murderous urge.
The imperial guards at the gate and the palace servants of Huayang Palace lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound when they heard the imperial guards' message.
Everyone says that Consort Su is favored, but Consort Su is not even half as favored as the Holy King's Dowager Consort. She probably can't even compare to a tenth of the Holy King's Dowager Consort. If Consort Su hadn't given birth to the Third Prince and had the support of the former General Su, how could the matter of managing the Phoenix Seal have fallen to her?
Not only did the servants laugh at Consort Su, but even Consort Su herself felt that her and Xuan Yuan Yu's positions were now in jeopardy.
She returned to the main hall in a huff, and Consort Su threw a huge tantrum.
"Lu Da, go to the Yong'an Marquis's residence and summon Su Renyi to me!"
Lu Da hesitated before stepping forward and said cautiously, "Your Majesty, now that the Imperial Guards have sealed off Huayang Palace, I'm afraid Marquis Yong'an may not be able to come in to see you!"
Upon hearing this, Consort Su glared angrily and said, "His Majesty only confined me to my quarters, but he didn't say that anyone else was forbidden from entering the palace to see me. I am ill and depressed, and I want to see my second brother. Does His Majesty not even allow that?"
Seeing that Consort Su was as if she had been hit by a firecracker, Lu Da dared not speak and immediately bowed and replied, "Yes."
Before leaving the palace to deliver the message, Lu Da went to Chengqian Palace to meet Xuan Yuanpeng and report Su Fei's request.
When Xuanyuan Peng heard that Su Fei wanted to see Su Renyi, he really didn't want to get involved anymore. As long as she didn't cause trouble, he didn't want to push things too far.
With Xuanyuan Peng's approval, Lu Da went to the Yong'an Marquis's residence to deliver the message.
Half an incense stick later, Su Renyi entered Huayang Palace.
"Your Majesty." Upon entering the main hall, Su Renyi bowed to Consort Su.
"We're all family, so there's no need for such formalities, Second Brother."
"Thank you, Your Majesty."
Consort Su glanced at Lu Da and Granny Jiang, and the two immediately led a room full of palace maids and eunuchs out.
After everyone had left, Su Renyi looked at Consort Su with concern and asked, "What happened? Why has the Emperor confined you to your quarters?"
Speaking of this, Consort Su got angry: "It's all because of the wedding sedan chair issue. The sedan chair wasn't changed, and instead, we got into a lot of trouble!"
As Su Fei spoke, she suddenly thought of something and glared at Su Renyi: "And your good daughter, not only did she scheme against our Yu'er, but she also made us all lose face!"
If you could say how much Consort Su wanted Xuan Yuan Yu to marry Su Fei Ling before, that's how much she despises her now!
I thought Su Feiling was smart, but now it seems she's too smart, daring to scheme against me and Yu'er.
Su Renyi also knew what Su Feiling had done and knew he was in the wrong: "Ling'er loves Your Highness too much. In addition, Yuan'er and Yao'er have both had accidents. She just wanted to find a way out for herself. I hope Your Highness will not be angry with her for the sake of the Su family."
Consort Su glanced at Su Renyi's pleading eyes and finally sighed.
After all, she was her own niece, and now she was her daughter-in-law. No matter how angry she was, she couldn't let her anger get the better of her.
"Don't worry, she is my own niece. In any case, now that she has entered the palace, I will not mistreat her."
"Thank you, Your Majesty," Su Renyi said gratefully immediately.
"It's the Emperor who favors Lady Bai, and I have even less standing in the palace! And that bastard Xuan Yuanzhan has returned. Every time Yu'er argues with him, the Emperor sides with Xuan Yuanzhan!" Thinking of Lady Bai and her son, Consort Su's murderous intent resurfaced.
Su Renyi understood Su Fei's meaning perfectly well and cooperated, asking, "What does Your Majesty wish me to do?"
"Find the Su family's military seal!"
Although it's a familiar topic, the military tally is indeed what Consort Su most urgently wants right now: "My position and Yu'er's position are already precarious. Once the Emperor discovers that the Su family's military tally in our possession is fake, we will be completely finished. Therefore, we must find the real Su family's military tally as soon as possible!"
