Chapter 268: Concubine Yun is furious
Nanny Chen was a maid brought in by Concubine Yun when she entered the palace. Later, she became Concubine Yun's managing nanny. In the year when Concubine Yun was banished to the cold palace, she became a masterless slave and hid in the palace. Concubine Yun found her two days ago.
Nanny Chen is smart, calm, and reliable. What she says carries a lot of weight in front of Concubine Yun. Even if Concubine Yun is extremely unhappy at the moment, she will still listen to Nanny Chen.
"Then I'll go and see what she wants to do with me."
Nanny Chen smiled brightly: "That's right, Your Majesty should put the overall situation first. The current situation is very clear. If the prince ascends to the throne in the future, you will be the most honorable woman in the palace, and what will the queen be?"
This statement is a double entendre. The Queen refers to the current imprisoned Queen, and also to Murong Li's future Queen.
"You are the only one who can speak, I know."
Concubine Yun rarely smiled, and only Nanny Chen could make her happy.
When the master and servant arrived at the main hall, Su Yue was already sitting down drinking tea. Seeing Concubine Yun approaching, she stepped forward, bowed, and said, "Daughter-in-law greets mother."
Concubine Yun said calmly, "Get up. I wonder why you came to see me?"
Su Yue said, "Mother, this is the first time we have spoken to each other as mother-in-law and daughter-in-law, and we have some personal matters to discuss."
Concubine Yun glanced at Nanny Chen, who understood perfectly. She called all the maids and nannies in the main hall over and said, "The flowers and plants in the yard outside haven't been taken care of yet. Let's go take care of them now."
The palace maids, eunuchs and maids who were able to survive in the palace were all smart people. After hearing what Nanny Chen said, they had nothing to understand and immediately left the hall.
As Nanny Chen was leaving, she said to Concubine Yun, "If your Majesty needs anything, just call this old servant."
Only Concubine Yun and Su Yue were left in the hall.
Concubine Yun walked straight to the main seat, sat down, and looked at Su Yue intently.
"Tell me, what do you want to say to me?"
Su Yue sat down, took a sip of tea, and then slowly said: "Mother, I am here to tell you that if you want to cook with father in the future, you can inform me in advance. It is best not to happen again like what happened today.
You also know that we are grasshoppers on the same rope, and we all prosper and suffer together. We are not in a hostile relationship, and you should not treat us as enemies. If you have any dissatisfaction with your daughter-in-law, you can tell her directly.
Also, by doing this, you are hindering Murong Li. Our foundation is unstable now, and if you continue to hinder us, won't you be giving Prince Yi an opportunity?
Mother is a smart person, how can you not figure this out?"
Su Yue finished speaking in one breath, which made Yun Fei furious. What was he talking to her about? He was actually here to teach her a lesson. She stood up, walked a few steps to Su Yue, raised her hand and was about to slap Su Yue.
Su Yue took it lightly and held her wrist.
She said in a cold voice: "It seems that mother has been in the cold palace for too long. Not only has her brain become stupid, but she has also lost her temper. She won't listen to my kind words. Does mother want to lose everything she has now?
Mother, you'd better be honest. Do you know what will happen to those who try to bully me?"
Su Yue looked at Yun Fei's angry eyes. That look could kill. She must have tortured her to death several times.
But how could Su Yue let her go? This person must have a problem with her brain, and she must be made to wake up.
Su Yue said coldly, "Their graves are already covered with grass."
After saying this, he slapped Concubine Yun's wrist fiercely and gave her a warning look: "You'd better hold on to your position as Imperial Noble Concubine, mother, or your daughter-in-law can kick you down at any time."
She has never been a good-tempered person. She won't listen to you when you talk to her nicely. If soft words don't work, you have to use hard tactics. There are plenty of ways to control her.
After Su Yue finished speaking, she walked out of Xihe Palace without recognizing any relatives.
"ah……"
Yun Fei could no longer control herself. The rage in her heart surged to her head. She held her head and yelled, knocking the teacup that Su Yue had just drunk from to the ground.
Nanny Chen, who was guarding outside, heard the heart-wrenching scream and saw Su Yue coming out calmly. Not knowing what had happened, she quickly ran into the palace and saw Concubine Yun sitting on the ground, pounding the floor hard.
"My lady, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, old slave."
Nanny Chen was frightened and started crying. She immediately helped Concubine Yun sit on a chair and helped her calm down.
“Huff, huff, huff…”
Yun Fei's eyes were red, her chest was heaving rapidly, and she was gasping for breath.
Nanny Chen was extremely distressed. She asked, "Your Majesty, what did Princess Li say to make you so angry? Please tell me. I will go to Princess Li and ask for clarification even if it means risking my life."
After Nanny Chen's words of comfort, Concubine Yun finally calmed down. Now that her mind had regained some rationality, she angrily said, "That bitch actually came here to teach me a lesson, and even threatened me, wanting to kick me off the position of Imperial Concubine. She's so arrogant.
Mammy, tomorrow you go to the General's Mansion and bring Mother, Sister-in-law, and Yan'er to the palace. I want her to be uneasy about her position as Princess Li, and see how she can kick me out."
Nanny Chen's face darkened after hearing this: "Don't worry, Your Majesty. Could you please tell me in detail what Princess Li said?"
Nanny Chen felt that Su Yue was not an unreasonable person and would not threaten Concubine Yun for no reason. Instead, it was Concubine Yun who was used to making unreasonable demands.
Concubine Yun sneered, "What good words can you say? Telling me not to go against them, saying that we all prosper together and suffer together..."
Concubine Yun gritted her teeth and roughly repeated what Su Yue had said, while also venting her anger.
"Madam, what right does she have to say this to me? My son can do whatever he wants, and I can treat my man however I want..."
Chen Momo listened and breathed a sigh of relief. She consoled him, "Your Majesty, Princess Li is absolutely right. It's just that her words were a little harsh."
"What's so intense? This is just like climbing over my head and shitting on me. I don't want such an arrogant daughter-in-law. I don't even acknowledge her as my daughter-in-law. Mammy, you must bring mother and sister-in-law into the palace tomorrow."
Nanny Chen sighed after hearing this. As expected, she didn't know why Concubine Yun had changed so much after being in the cold palace for a year. She was like a completely different person.
Now I am not calm at all when encountering things, and I become hysterical over the slightest thing.
What Princess Li said was absolutely right. They, mother and son, should stick together as a team and not hold each other back.
She even called the old lady and others into the palace. It was obvious what she was going to do. She wanted to change the princess for her son. Only she could think of this. The emperor's marriage was not something she could do as she pleased. She was so naive.
