Chapter 140 It's All His
"Your Majesty, Su in the You Palace is behaving like a madman. He knocked his head towards the Changqing Palace and said that he has realized his mistakes, but before confessing his guilt and signing the confession, he wants to see his family again." Xuan Mo reported truthfully.
Xiao Chenglan casually drew a red circle on the memorial and said casually: "Since this is the last time they will see each other, let her see it. Summon Qin to the palace tonight."
"yes."
Xuan Mo paused, then continued, "Your Majesty, there's one more thing. It seems Shen wanted to see the confined Concubine Song before leaving, and she went to ask Concubine Yu for permission."
"Oh?" Xiao Chenglan raised his eyes, his expression unfocused. "Then she's probably right."
"Yes, Concubine Yu has granted permission, and..." Xuan Mo hesitated for a moment, and lowered his voice, "and Concubine Yu is also going with us."
The smile on Xiao Chenglan's face suddenly froze.
He silently exhaled a long breath and said calmly:
"I understand, please leave."
After Xuan Mo made sure that everything was fine, he quickly took his leave.
Xiao Chenglan listened to the howling sound of wind and snow outside and narrowed his eyes.
Under his lowered eyelids were a pair of eyes as black as ink, which were still dim and gloomy under the bright candlelight in the hall.
Xiao Chenglan clenched his hand slightly holding the pen, and the tip of the pen smudged a little ink on the paper.
Song Wanyan, it's you again.
He's already under house arrest, but he's still restless and wants to take away Jiang Yingli's attention.
Besides, he has only been under house arrest for three days. Is it really worth braving the wind and snow to visit him?
He was reluctant to let Jiang Yingli come to Changqing Palace to find him in such heavy snow.
However, the Phoenix Seal had already been given to Jiang Yingli. This way, she didn't need his permission to visit the confined Concubine Song.
This is really...
Xiao Chenglan gripped the pen tighter in his hand.
Haha, we finally sent one person away, but the most troublesome person is still staying in the palace.
Xiao Chenglan was unhappy for a while, with emotions flickering in his eyes, but in the end he could only slowly calm down.
That's all.
One day, he will get rid of all those who can easily get close to her by taking advantage of her identity as a woman.
He is the first, second, and third person in Jiang Yingli's heart...
Everything she had was his.
This palace will eventually become the second Prince Su's Palace.

Su Qingrong's biological mother, Qin, entered the palace overnight.
Qin was led into the palace with red and swollen eyes. Her tears had already dried up, but when she saw Su Qingrong appear in front of her with a bruised and bleeding forehead, Qin felt her heart was about to bleed.
Since childhood, Qingrong has been the one among her many children that she worries about the most, and also the one she loves the most.
Where had she ever seen her look so pitiful?
"Mother!" Su Qingrong also threw herself into Qin's arms and burst into tears.
"Rong'er, don't worry. Mother will definitely ask the family to find a way to save you. Even if we have to secretly replace you and you no longer become a concubine, and keep you hidden in another courtyard for the rest of your life, I will never let you continue to suffer like this!" Qin said as she carefully wiped the blood from Su Qingrong's forehead with her sleeve.
Su Qingrong was extremely anxious, crying and urging, "Mother! Rong'er really can't stand it here anymore. Mother must ask Daddy to find a way to get me out quickly, the sooner the better!"
Qin agreed repeatedly, held her in her arms and comforted her with gentle words.
Su Qingrong finally felt better, but her hatred for Xue gradually burned again.
"Mother, I finally got this opportunity to meet you today, and I have something important to tell you."
Su Qingrong took the stack of papers and explained the whole story to Qin.
"Mother, this is the evidence that Queen Mother Xue framed me. Mother must take it out and show it to Father. Don't let Queen Mother Xue deceive you again. She has no kindness in wishing the daughter of the Su family to ascend the throne. She is simply a vicious woman with a heart of a scorpion. She killed my aunt and now she is trying to harm me!"
The more Qin listened, the more depressed she felt. She carefully hid the stack of records with the seal on her body.
"Rong'er, don't worry, mother will tell your father everything truthfully."

Inside the Wanshou Palace, the dim candlelight made the hall seem gloomy and dark.
The lingering smell of medicine filled the hall.
Nanny Xia was feeding medicine to Empress Dowager Xue with a porcelain spoon.
After drinking two sips, Empress Dowager Xue felt the bitterness was so severe that she frowned deeply.
She wore a headband with a ruby-embedded longevity pattern on it, and her clothes were easy-to-put-on-and-off pajamas. Her clothes were no longer as bright as before, and her frowning made her look ten years older.
"Empress Dowager, back in the You Palace, Su broke her head, and Qin entered overnight. However, the You Palace is heavily guarded, and I don't know what they said, but when Qin left, she looked very unhappy."
"Qin?" Empress Dowager Xue repeated thoughtfully, "Su Qingrong hasn't been convicted yet, so why let her enter the palace overnight?"
Could it be that there is some conspiracy?
Su Qingrong had accused her when she was convicted, but she had no evidence. What else could the mother and daughter say tonight?
Empress Dowager Xue covered her forehead with her hands, feeling a slight headache, and tried hard to recall whether she had missed any key information.
The pair of rabbits were already dead, and the medicine had been taken by Chen Zhuxin. The records of taking the medicinal materials were stamped with Su's private seal.
signet……
Empress Dowager Xue suddenly opened her half-closed eyes and looked at the seal of a famous landscape painting not far away. She sighed deeply: "I really made a mistake even in a hundred precautions."
Nanny Xia sensed something was amiss: "Empress Dowager, what went wrong?"
"The Su family might really take action against the Xue family this time."
The Queen Mother closed her eyes deeply, and when she opened them, her expression became incomparably cold. "Things have come to this point. There is no other way. After so many years, the love and hate must finally come to an end. Bring me paper and pen. I need to write a letter and send it back to my family overnight. You can use my name to delay Qin for a while. My letter to my family must be faster than Qin's news."
As soon as Nanny Xia heard this, she knew the situation was urgent and quickly went to give orders.
Undercurrents surged in the deep palace. After Su Qingrong met Qin, she was taken to Changqing Palace.
Everyone in the hall had left, even Eunuch Fu was not there, only Xiao Chenglan and Su Qingrong were left.
Su Qingrong knelt dejectedly, no longer having the domineering attitude of the past. There were snowflakes on her hair, and she looked at Xiao Chenglan on the throne with a sad expression.
"Your Majesty, do you want me to confess my guilt so that you can execute me?"
Xiao Chenglan's gaze fell on her, his eyes full of scorn.
"No, whether you plead guilty or not, I will execute you with justification."
Su Qingrong looked confused and looked at Xiao Chenglan in confusion.
Xiao Chenglan chuckled and said, "Well, your mother must be very sad for you and anxious to return to the Su family to seek justice for you, right?"
Su Qingrong's heart exploded, and an inexplicable fear enveloped her whole body.
What do you mean... Your Majesty, what do you mean... No...
Seeing her unwillingness to believe it, Xiao Chenglan continued softly, "Do you think the Su family is truly all-powerful? How could your mother take anything from You Palace out of the palace without my permission? Without my permission, she couldn't even take a single hair with her, let alone evidence that would accuse Xue of murdering you."
There was a loud bang in Su Qingrong's head, and all her luck was shattered into dust at this moment.
She needed evidence, and it was delivered to her door.
All of this was fueled by Your Majesty.
The purpose is to sow discord between the Su family and the Xue family.
If Daddy attacks the Xue family for her tonight, it will play into His Majesty's plan to sow discord. The two great families will become enemies, and the consequence will be that both sides will suffer!
Su Qingrong understood, she understood everything!
The haze of despair spread in her heart.
No, that won't happen. Daddy is a man of propriety. Last time, Daddy advised her not to complain about Queen Mother Xue. Daddy will certainly not be easily provoked.
She stared at Xiao Chenglan intently, her voice trembling, "No, Daddy will never believe it just based on those seals!"
Xiao Chenglan smiled: "It's not up to him to believe it or not, because the first ones to believe it will be the Xue family."
