Chapter 422: The Stunning Flower Demon in the Palace Fighting Novel (35)
After a long time, Su Yu still didn't come back.
Concubine Shu looked at the palace maid, curled her lips and quietly left the table, going to see if things were going smoothly. If so, she would then take the opportunity to lead other people over.
In front of everyone, she wanted to nail Su Yu to the pillar of shame and not allow her to stand up.
"Your Majesty is just deceived by that vixen. When this incident is exposed, Your Majesty will be furious and order her to be killed. Even if he doesn't order her to be killed, he will no longer favor her as much as before."
Concubine Shu was almost paranoid about Su Yu, as if she thought that if Su Yu was not there, Xiao Yan would be able to see her.
The door to the side hall was open and there was no sound from inside.
Concubine Shu walked in with a frown, covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief, and looked inside tentatively, hoping to hear some sound.
…
When Su Yu changed her clothes and returned to the banquet, Concubine Shu was not there.
After glancing over there, Su Yu withdrew her gaze with a cold face.
The food at the banquet was all cold. Su Yu quietly heated it up with magic, and then concentrated on tasting the food without even looking at Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan noticed her abnormality and asked with concern: "What's wrong?"
Su Yu snorted coldly, said nothing, and still ignored him.
"Who made you angry?" Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment, then put his arm around Su Yu's shoulders and brought her into his arms.
After returning to the palace, Xiao Yan's behavior changed a lot. He became gentler than before, and his words were not as sharp-tongued. At least he no longer ridiculed Su Yu from time to time, and he was also willing to show his warm side in front of others.
When those eyes, which were always cold and gloomy, looked at Su Yu, it was as if the clouds had cleared and the sun was shining, revealing a different look.
It seemed that in his eyes, there was no one else except Su Yu.
The golden dragon circled the two of them with satisfaction, looked at Xiao Yan with disdain, then put its head close to the little flower demon and sent out a large amount of dragon energy in a flattering manner.
Xue Chuyue stared at them in a daze.
"Your Majesty?" Qiu Yu saw her staring at His Majesty in a daze and called her worriedly.
Xue Chuyue's eyelashes trembled slightly, and she lowered her eyes and retracted them: "Noble Concubine Chen is very beautiful."
No wonder His Majesty likes her.
Qiu Yu was stunned for a moment, then whispered: "Your Majesty is also very beautiful. In my heart, Your Majesty is even more beautiful."
There is no standard for beauty. Su Yu is seductive and gorgeous, while Xue Chuyue is elegant and graceful. They are not of the same type and cannot be compared.
Xue Chuyue had heard too many compliments on her beauty since she was a child.
Her beauty did bring her a lot of conveniences, and even allowed her to enter the harem as a merchant's daughter.
But after entering the harem, I realized that beauty is not everything.
At least it's nothing to His Majesty.
He only recognized that person, even if that person was a palace maid of low status, even if that person had no manners, even if that person had disappeared for three years, he had never looked at any other woman.
Because Jin Long was so generous, Su Yu did not push Xiao Yan away.
She glared at Xiao Yan unhappily: "The women in your harem are annoying and irritating."
This specifically refers to Concubine Shu.
Su Yu knew that there was a trap waiting for her in the side hall, so she simply didn't go in and used magic to change her clothes.
Even so, I'm still upset.
Three years ago, he framed her for breaking her jade bracelet, and three years later, he went even further and used such dirty means to frame her for having an affair. If it were an ordinary woman who was weak and helpless, she would have probably fallen into the trap.
Did she dig up the ancestral tomb of Concubine Shu? Why is she targeting her like this?
"How about I send them all away?"
Su Yu was stunned: "What?"
Xiao Yan looked at her and said seriously, "I have already decided. After the Lantern Festival, I will send them all out of the palace."
But how to implement it specifically still needs careful consideration.
After all, there is no precedent of concubines leaving the palace in this dynasty.
Whether to release them directly and let them go home to remarry, or to change their identities and allow those whose families are willing to accept them to return home with a changed identity, and those whose families are unwilling to accept them to return home, the royal family will support them until they grow old, all require careful consideration.
The former is difficult to implement, but the latter is very feasible.
At this time, a young eunuch came over in panic and whispered something to Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan's expression suddenly became solemn and he stood up and left.
Su Yu followed curiously. The familiar route led to a side hall. A strange smell floated in the air, which seemed to have the effect of causing temporary dizziness.
All the windows were opened, and after the smell dissipated, Xiao Yan walked in with a sullen face.
Su Yu was stopped by Xiao Dezi at the door: "Your Majesty, please stay."
Xiao Dezi showed an awkward expression and stopped her from going in: "Inside... I'm afraid it will offend Your Majesty's eyes. Your Majesty should wait for His Majesty outside."
"What happened?" Su Yu vaguely guessed something.
Xiao Dezi didn't dare to say it.
Who dares to say this? Even if His Majesty didn't favor her, she was still His Majesty's concubine in name. Such a thing happening in the palace was simply a slap in His Majesty's face.
What's more, your Majesty's biological mother, Concubine Zhao, was sentenced to death because of adultery.
Concubine Shu is really bold.
Xiao Dezi lowered his head and said, "Your Majesty, please ask His Majesty yourself."
What happened inside was not as serious as Xiao Dezi imagined.
At least not to the last step.
Xiao Yan stared at the two people kneeling on the ground with a cold gaze, as if he was looking at dead people.
The man was terrified, but when he thought of the compensation his employer had promised his family, he gritted his teeth and said, "The Imperial Concubine and I were in love, and I couldn't help myself... Your Majesty, if you want to kill me, just kill me. It has nothing to do with the Imperial Concubine."
These words were like a death warrant, as if he was afraid that Xiao Yan would not be angry and would kill the "Imperial Concubine" he was referring to.
Concubine Shu was kneeling on the ground in dishevel, with tears of fear in her eyes. When she heard this, her face turned pale instantly: "Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense. I didn't do it. Someone wants to harm me..."
Concubine Shu shot herself in the foot and was afraid and regretful.
An uncontrollable ferocity appeared on his face. Why? It should be Su Yu who is here. What went wrong?
"It's Su Yu! It must be Su Yu who harmed me!"
The man next to him completed his task before his death with a look of sorrow on his face: "This matter has nothing to do with the Imperial Concubine. If you want to kill someone, then kill me. Release the Imperial Concubine. She was... deceived by me."
“Pah—”
Concubine Shu slapped the man in the face and said viciously, "Shut up! If you say another word, I'll kill you!"
Turning around, Concubine Shu was crying pitifully in front of Xiao Yan. She knelt down in front of him and grabbed his clothes: "Your Majesty, I really didn't do it."
"I don't know what happened. I felt dizzy as soon as I entered the palace. When I woke up, I was like this. Someone must have framed me, and... and I am innocent."
Concubine Shu bit her lip in embarrassment and cried, "If you don't believe me, you can... you can ask a nanny to come in and examine me..."
Xiao Yan didn't care whether Concubine Shu had an affair or not.
The moment he decided to send them out of the palace, he no longer considered the people in the harem as his own women, and naturally it didn't matter whether they were innocent or not.
However, thinking of what he had just found out, Xiao Yan became murderous.
