Feicui was extremely cautious, always keeping an eye on her back. Fortunately, Concubine Chen hadn't sent anyone to follow them, so she probably didn't notice anything unusual.
The two found an abandoned palace. Feicui went in and looked around. After confirming that there was no one there, she and Su Qingyu entered an inconspicuous room.
After entering the room, Feicui checked from head to toe, even the soles of his shoes, but found nothing wrong.
Su Qingyu suddenly asked Feicui, "Where is the gift we gave to Empress Chenfei?"
Feicui was startled and took out the box from her arms. When she opened it, she saw the round fan intact in the box.
"Fortunately, the gift is fine." Feicui breathed a sigh of relief.
It's clear what's in the box, so it's unlikely the other party would tamper with it.
So after reading it, she decided to close it.
"Madam, do you think they took advantage of my unconsciousness to cast some kind of evil spell on me? I heard there's a kind of poisonous insect in southern Xinjiang that will make you obey the words of the one who cast it."
Thinking of this, Feicui suddenly felt uneasy. If this was true, what if those people asked her to kill Madam or betray Madam?
The more she thought about it, the more she felt it was true, and the more panicked she became. Feicui was a steady and composed person, and she rarely felt so helpless.
"Madam, what if that's the case?" Feicui asked with a tearful voice.
Su Qingyu didn't answer her, but opened the closed box again, took out the round fan, and looked at it over and over again.
The fan handle is made of rosewood, with a pendant tied to the end.
Su Qingyu carefully examined the fan handle. She remembered that fan handles in Shuzhong were mostly made of bamboo. The bamboo was hollow inside, and some girls would put dried flowers in the fan handle to repel insects.
The handle in her hand was made of rosewood. Shouldn't the fan handle be solid? But she subconsciously pulled the pendant and saw the plug being pulled down directly.
This rosewood was actually made hollow.
Su Qingyu narrowed her eyes, looked inside the fan handle, and carefully took out the rolled silk paper inside.
The silk paper was spread out, revealing the pattern on it. In addition to a picture of a bird or animal, there was also incomprehensible text written on it.
Feicui took a look and said, "Madam, this is the Miao language. Other servants don't recognize it, but the third line has the words "Da Zhou" written on it, which this servant recognizes."
Su Qingyu asked in surprise, "How come you can recognize the Miao language?"
Feicui explained, "That year, when I went to Qianzhou with my wife, I accidentally met a girl from the Miao border. She even taught me how to write the word 'Da Zhou'."
At that time, they were just squatting on the ground, writing with sticks for fun. Actually, if she were asked to write now, she wouldn't be able to do it.
Su Qingyu had a plan in mind after hearing this. She took out another piece of silk paper of similar size from her bosom, rolled it up and stuffed it back into the fan.
As for the hot potato, Su Qingyu carefully put it away, perhaps it would be useful in the future.
After putting the round fan back in place, Su Qingyu calmed herself down and walked out with the jadeite.
When the master and servant arrived at the Hall of Supreme Harmony, there were already quite a few people gathered at the entrance.
When Su Qingyu arrived, many people came forward to greet her and speak to her. She chatted with the ladies for a while before heading inside.
As soon as I entered the Hall of Supreme Harmony, I heard several ladies whispering to each other.
"Why isn't the wife of the Marquis of Loyalty here? The eldest daughter of the Song family isn't here either."
"Haven't you figured this out? The person the Marquis of Loyalty and Righteousness is most annoyed with right now is this Concubine Chen. How could she be willing to come and celebrate your birthday?"
Su Qingyu walked past a few people and went inside.
Today, the wife of Lord Chen also came and was talking to Princess Rong.
Seeing Su Qingyu, Madam Chen smiled and said, "Madam Shen is here? As expected, the Shen family's feng shui nourishes people. I see that Madam Shen has become much plumper."
Ever since Su Qingyu became pregnant, supplements were delivered to the house several times a day, and she didn't have any severe morning sickness, but she still gained weight.
Su Qingyu smiled and said, "The weather has been a lot cooler these days, and I slept well."
Princess Rong curled her lips and said, "You're not afraid of doing too many bad things. You can still sleep even when ghosts knock on your door in the middle of the night."
"The evil heart of a man who spoils his marriage will sooner or later rot his heart and lungs."
Everyone knew what Princess Rong was like. She never cared about the occasion or her appearance when scolding people. But even though she didn't care, others couldn't help but take it seriously.
Just like at this moment, Feicui wanted to step forward to argue, but was stopped by Su Qingyu.
He said calmly, "If Princess Rong feels that the Rong and Qin families broke off their engagement because of me, then that's easy to deal with. When the Emperor arrives, Princess Rong can file a complaint and ask the Emperor to punish me."
She couldn't do the act of arguing with Princess Rong in the Hall of Supreme Harmony. Princess Rong had no shame, but she still had it.
So the only option was to bring up the emperor and make her shut up.
Seeing that Princess Rong was about to speak, Su Qingyu took two steps forward and said in a cold voice that only the two of them could hear, "You old hag, shut up right there. If you say another word, I'll let the whole capital know how your daughter abused the younger generation in your family."
"As for your son Rong Yi's scandal, believe it or not, I'll have the storyteller from East Street tell it for three days and three nights."
Her eyes were sinister and her tone was cold. Princess Rong subconsciously took two steps back and swallowed the words that were on the tip of her tongue.
Under normal circumstances, Su Qingyu would not be like this, and would not even bother to argue with her.
But today she was so nervous that she had no patience.
Madam Qin, who was not far away, came over after hearing this and said to Princess Rong with a serious expression, "Princess Rong, what are you doing? You're bringing up the past and even implicating innocent people. Why don't we sit down and talk it over."
