Chapter 68 I Didn't Plan to Let Her Go



Su Jinyue couldn't help laughing, and looked at Su Jingnian and said, "Brother, you really overestimate me. Could it be that I have the ability to predict the future and know that you will lock me in the room today?"

"Did you know that you would let Su Zhiyao go to the palace to claim the reward for me today? Now that she is in the palace and can't leave, you want to put the blame on me?"

"Do you really think I'm the scapegoat? All sorts of random charges can be pinned on me?!"

Su Jinyue's eyes suddenly turned cold. "If she wants to enter the palace so much, then let her go. Am I the one who is locked in the yard wrong?"

Su Jingnian was so blocked by Su Jinyue's words that he could not say anything to refute. His eyes flickered as he said, "Why are you saying so much? Now Zhiyao is being held in the palace. Why don't you bring her out quickly? We are all family. Why do you care so much?"

"I just like to care about things."

Su Jinyue said: "Don't you know that I am a person who likes to care about things and bear grudges? What do your affairs have to do with me?"

After that, Su Jinyue turned around and went back to her room, "Xiao Tao, bring the food from the kitchen up when it's ready. I'm hungry, your lady."

Seeing that Su Jinyue really didn't plan to enter the palace, Su Jingnian panicked and looked at Jiang Caiping, "Mother..."

Jiang Caiping was also upset by this mess. She took two steps forward and followed Su Jinyue into the room. "Jinyue, this is indeed their fault."

"But the emperor only gave you half an hour. If you don't enter the palace, Zhiyao will really be detained in the palace!"

Jiang Caiping still felt sorry for Su Zhiyao, and softened her tone towards Su Jinyue, "After all, she is your sister, raised in the Marquis' Mansion. These mistakes are all your two brothers' fault!"

"After this matter is over, I will definitely give them a good lecture. We should discuss our family's affairs behind closed doors. If it really gets to the emperor, it will be embarrassing for our mansion."

Su Jinyue raised her eyes and her gaze fell on Jiang Caiping. "If Su Zhiyao came back from the palace today with the reward that His Majesty was going to give me, what would mother do?"

Jiang Caiping's expression was stunned.

If Su Zhiyao received the reward from the palace, then she could have received it. Since we are all family, why should we divide it so clearly?

From Jiang Caiping's expression, Su Jinyue could also tell what she was thinking, "Mother, if she comes back from the palace and I make a fuss about this, you will just make a big deal out of a small matter."

"This matter...is indeed your brother's fault."

Jiang Caiping said, "But Zhiyao did nothing wrong. She was just coaxed into the palace by her two brothers. When she comes back, I will naturally reprimand her and ask her to apologize to you."

He wanted to let the matter go with just a simple apology, which was what Su Jinyue had thought of a long time ago.

"I can go." Su Jinyue said lightly.

Jiang Caiping smiled, "Let's go now, the carriage is waiting outside."

"Go to the palace and speak well of your sister to His Majesty. The last incident has caused displeasure inside and outside the palace, and the Xie family has stopped asking for marriage. Your sister's engagement can no longer be delayed."

Su Jinyue stood up and walked out without saying anything else.

Jiang Caiping continued, "Your sister and Xie Qingxu are already married. If you don't get married, people outside will laugh at you."

"Jin Yue, mother knows that you have a sharp tongue but a soft heart. If you tell His Majesty about this matter today, His Majesty will definitely make the decision for our mansion..."

"Mother."

Su Jinyue stopped and turned to look at Jiang Caiping, "Do you mean that you want me to ask His Majesty for a reward so that someone from the Xie family can marry Su Zhiyao as soon as possible?"

"If that's the case, then that's great!" Jiang Caiping said, "After all, your sister was unable to get married, and you..."

Halfway through her speech, Jiang Caiping realized that she had said the wrong thing. She looked up at Su Jinyue, who was looking at her with a half-smile. She felt flustered and said, "Let's not talk about this anymore. Please go to the palace as soon as possible."

Everyone "escorted" Su Jinyue out of the mansion. Song Yan was still waiting outside the mansion. When he saw her, he immediately bowed and said, "Miss Su, please."

Su Jinyue nodded, got on the carriage, and Song Yan jumped on the carriage and drove towards the palace.

In the carriage, Xiao Tao was still a little unwilling, "Miss, are you going to let it go like this after the two young masters locked you up in the room?! They are really too much! If His Majesty hadn't asked Miss to go to the palace today, I don't know how long they would have kept you locked up!"

"Of course I won't just let it go like this."

Su Jinyue smiled and looked out the carriage window. "Give someone a taste of their own medicine. If you provoke me, it won't be that easy to get over it."

At that time, outside the palace.

When Eunuch Xu saw the carriage, a smile immediately appeared on his face. After seeing Su Jinyue get off the carriage, he hurried forward and said, "Miss Su, we have finally waited for you."

"Eunuch Xu must have waited for a long time outside the palace." Su Jinyue said, "I was delayed in the mansion for some time, it's not a big deal."

"It's okay." Eunuch Xu smiled and led Su Jinyue to the door. "His Majesty is waiting for you in the Yangxin Palace."

"Thank you, father-in-law."

Eunuch Xu smiled and said, "Miss Su, you don't have to be so polite to me. It's just that I don't think you are unwell and that's why you are delayed in entering the palace."

Su Jinyue smiled and said, "Thank you for your concern, eunuch. I am not feeling unwell. I only came to the palace in a hurry after receiving the order from His Majesty."

Hearing Su Jinyue's words, Eunuch Xu immediately understood the key point and smiled without asking any more questions. "I'm glad you're fine. His Majesty was very worried when he learned that you were unwell."

Eunuch Xu led Su Jinyue to the outside of the Palace of Tranquil Longevity and took her directly into the Palace of Tranquil Longevity.

"Your Majesty, Miss Su has arrived."

When Su Jinyue entered the hall, she saw Su Zhiyao kneeling in the hall. She walked forward a few steps, knelt down and saluted, "Your Majesty, your servant pays respect to you. Long live your Majesty."

The emperor then raised his eyes and looked at Su Jinyue for a long while, "Su Jinyue, didn't Su Er say that you were not feeling well and were too ill to come to the palace to see me? I don't think you are ill."

Su Jinyue lowered her eyes and said respectfully: "Your Majesty, I am not feeling unwell."

The emperor's eyes flashed and he looked at Xiao Duo who was standing in the hall. He understood the key point.

Bang!

The emperor slammed the memorial on the table and looked furious!

"Are you Ningyuan Marquis Mansion trying to fool me?!"

Su Zhiyao shuddered all over, her body tensed up, her face turned pale, and she kowtowed to the emperor repeatedly, "Your Majesty is wise! It was my brother who told me that my sister was not feeling well and asked me to enter the palace in her place! I am innocent!"

The emperor glanced at Su Jinyue coldly, "You are not feeling unwell, why did you let Miss Su go to the palace to receive the reward for you! You have made contributions at the border, and you dare to be so arrogant in front of me?!"
