Su Jinyue heaved a sigh of relief when she saw that the person in front of her was Xiao Duo.
She turned around and nodded slightly, "Thank you for today, General."
Xiao Duo looked at Su Jinyue and said, "They deserved it. You don't have to thank me."
"I'm looking for you for something else."
Taking out the letter from his sleeve, Xiao Duo handed it to Su Jinyue.
Su Jinyue lowered her eyes, took the letter handed to her by Xiao Duo, opened the envelope and read it carefully.
The more he looked at Su Jinyue, the colder her expression became. This was a secret letter from the border!
The development of things was exactly the same as in the previous life!
Although I don’t know how Su Jinyue knew what would happen in the future, she was indeed right this time.
Xiao Duo looked at Su Jinyue with a slightly complicated expression.
"I also want to thank the young general for allowing the soldiers at the border to prepare early, so the losses did not spread too widely."
Su Jinyue handed the letter back to Xiao Duo, "But the border war..."
Xiao Duo shook his head, signaling Su Jinyue not to continue, "The urgent battle report from the border 800 miles away will probably be delivered to the palace soon."
"I will leave the palace today and rush to the border."
"Are you alone?" Su Jinyue was surprised.
Xiao Duo said: "I will take a few trusted people with me to the border to help. If we follow the marching team sent by His Majesty, the speed will be too slow."
Su Jinyue said: "I'll go too!"
Xiao Duo was surprised at Su Jinyue's request, and then refused: "No, there is a war at the border right now, and something could happen at any time. If you go, I won't have time to take care of you."
Just when Su Jinyue was about to say that she might be able to help, Xiao Duo seemed to see through her thoughts and stopped her from saying anything.
"Send urgent war reports to the palace. Your father's neglect of duty will surely be known to His Majesty."
Xiao Duo stared at Su Jinyue with his dark eyes, "Adding to what happened just now, I'm afraid it will not end well for Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion this time."
Su Jinyue raised her lips and smiled indifferently, "Then... let them fend for themselves."
After separating from Xiao Duo from the Imperial Garden, Su Jinyue wanted to leave the palace, but was stopped by Concubine Xian's maid halfway.
"Miss Su, our Concubine Xian wants to see you."
Xiao Tao was beside Su Jinyue, looking a little nervous, "Miss..."
It seems that the incident just now has been linked to her again. This is within Su Jinyue's expectations. These people will not give up until they drag her into it.
"Thank you, sister, for taking me there." Su Jinyue said respectfully.
As soon as she arrived outside the palace of Concubine Xian, Su Jinyue heard the sound of a teacup breaking from inside the palace!
"Madam Su Hou, how did you teach your daughter? How could you let her do such a shameless thing in the palace!"
After the maid entered the palace to report, she came to the palace door and said, "Miss Su, the queen invites you into the palace."
When Su Jinyue entered the hall, she saw everyone from the Su family kneeling in front of the hall, and the brother and sister from the Xie family kneeling on the other side.
Several people from the Jiang family and Ruan Liuzheng were actually kneeling on one side of the hall.
What Su Jinyue had never expected was that although she thought it was Concubine Xian who was giving a lecture, the Emperor was actually also sitting in the hall.
She knelt down and bowed.
"Your Majesty, I greet you, and your Majesty the Concubine."
She knelt for a long time, and no one in the hall spoke, as if they were deliberately leaving her out in the cold.
Su Jinyue was not in a hurry. Until the two people in the hall said anything, she just knelt down silently.
"Get up and answer."
Although the emperor was unhappy with Su Jinyue, after all, she still had the relationship with the Duke of Zhenguo's Mansion, so he couldn't make things too difficult for her.
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Su Jinyue stood up and lowered her head respectfully.
The emperor looked at Concubine Xian.
Xian Fei understood, and her cold gaze fell on Su Jinyue, "Miss Su, your two brothers from the Su family said that you were the one who planned today's incident. Do you have anything to say?"
These idiots openly framed her, did they think she would be as stupid as before and confess for them?
"I don't know why my brother wanted to frame me for this. When the incident happened, I was also called away by my mother, so I didn't know about this beforehand."
Su Chengjiang was a little anxious. "Your Majesty, please be clear. Zhiyao has obviously been drugged. There are also residues of incense in the incense burner in the hall! Who else would do such a thing except Su Jinyue!"
Su Jingnian was calmer than Su Chengjiang. He kowtowed to the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, Su Jinyue has always been jealous of Zhiyao's talent. She has embarrassed Zhiyao several times during the banquet today. There are witnesses to prove it!"
"Your Majesty," Jiang Qiuse leaned forward and said, "This servant can confirm that Su Jinyue was indeed arrogant towards the Second Miss Su in the Imperial Garden, and even refused to listen to Madam Su who came over."
The emperor looked coldly at Jiang Caiping who was kneeling in the center of the hall, "Madam Su, is this really as Miss Jiang said?"
Jiang Caiping was in a dilemma at the moment.
The reputation of my adopted daughter and the reputation of the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion must not be ruined by this incident!
If this matter fell on Su Jinyue, perhaps she could use the fact that she came back from the countryside and was a rude person to distance herself from the Ningyuan Marquis' Mansion. After all, she still had an arranged marriage with the Zhenguo Duke's Mansion.
The worst that could happen is that the marriage could be cancelled. After all, if she really married into the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion with her character, it would cause trouble for the Marquis' Mansion.
Thinking of this, Jiang Caiping said, "Miss Jiang is right. Jin Yue was brought back from the countryside because I didn't discipline her properly. That's why this happened. Your Majesty, please punish me!"
Although she had long felt cold towards Jiang Caiping, Su Jinyue still felt like vomiting because of her behavior of throwing dirty water on her without hesitation!
She pinched her palms to avoid looking too ugly.
The emperor's eyes fell on Su Jinyue, "Your mother has said so, what else do you have to defend yourself?"
"Even if they are relatives, you can't slander them with empty words!" Su Jinyue said calmly, "You said I drugged you, but where is the evidence? Do you want His Majesty to convict me just by your words?"
Xie Qingxu knelt aside and said, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty."
Xian Fei looked at him, "General Xie, what do you want to say?"
"I have something to tell your majesty and your majesty." Xie Qingxu said, "I was a little drunk at the banquet."
"While I was still conscious, a young palace maid came to tell me that Zhiyao wanted to talk to me alone, so I followed her. After entering the palace, my body was no longer under my control."
"Now that I think about it, the little palace maid looks like the maidservant beside the eldest lady of the Su family. Maybe I can torture that maidservant and get something out of her."
Su Jinyue thought what he said was extremely ridiculous!
"In this case, I will also say that you and Su Zhiyao made peace in the palace, and after being discovered, you wanted to deny all the responsibility and teamed up with my brother to slander me!"
