Su Wanti took the initiative to ask Madam Su to enter the palace because a few days ago Madam Su asked Yuzhu to deliver a message to the palace, saying that something had happened to Su Hanri and asked her to find a way to save Su Hanri.
Save him?
How is that possible!
Su Hanri relied on the fact that he was the eldest son of the Su family and often bullied these illegitimate children.
He looked down upon these concubines' daughters the most, thinking that if the sisters did not marry well and could not help his future, they would be useless waste.
In order to please Fu Ziyu, the son of the prime minister, he even betrayed his own sister, took the initiative to lead the way for Fu Ziyu, and guard the door for him.
Su Wanti will never forget these things.
This time, he was in trouble, how could Su Wanti help him? She would only step on his head again, making the soil that buried him even more solid.
————
On the tenth day of the tenth month, the palace was decorated with lanterns and a grand banquet was held.
To show his respect, Rongzhou specially held a banquet in the front hall of Linde Hall.
Early in the morning, more than a dozen ladies entered the palace and went to Yufu Palace to congratulate Su Wanti on her birthday.
After everyone congratulated the queen, they went to pay their respects to her.
Madam Su had something to discuss with Su Wanti. After paying her respects to the Queen, she returned to Yufu Palace to talk to Su Wanti.
"Mother, you don't look well. Have you encountered any difficulties?" Su Wanti looked concerned.
Hearing this, Madam Su's eyes filled with tears. She held Su Wanti's hand and said sadly:
"Wan'er, please save your brother!"
In fact, Su Wanti had already heard from Ye Zi that a few days ago, Su Hanri had a conflict with Fu Ziyu after drinking and accidentally pushed Fu Ziyu down the stairs.
At that time, Fu Ziyu was also drunk, and his steps were already unsteady. When Su Hanri pushed him, he was completely unable to resist and rolled down. He hit his head, vomited blood, and fell into a coma.
Fu Ziyu is the eldest son of the prime minister and is the most valued by Prime Minister Fu.
He was seriously injured, so the Prime Minister's Mansion would naturally not let it go.
That night, Su Hanri was arrested and thrown into prison.
Su's father went to the prime minister's house many times to seek peace, but was beaten out every time by the people in the prime minister's house.
The Prime Minister's Mansion also announced that Su Hanri must pay with his life.
Su's father and mother had no choice but to ask Yuzhu to send a letter to Su Wanti, asking her to find a way to save Su Hanri.
Su Wanti helped Madam Su sit down and said with concern:
"I only heard Yuzhu say that something happened to my brother. What happened? Mother, you must explain everything to me clearly, otherwise I won't be able to plead with the emperor."
When Mrs. Su heard that Su Wanti was willing to plead with the emperor, her eyes immediately lit up.
"Wan'er, I knew you were kind-hearted. Your mother's love for you was not in vain. In fact, your brother didn't mean it. That day, the two of them just had a quarrel after drinking. Your brother only touched Fu Ziyu lightly, but Fu Ziyu was extremely weak and fell down at the touch..."
Mrs. Su recounted what happened that day in detail.
However, she tried her best to deny Su Hanri any responsibility and put the blame on Fu Ziyu, saying that he was weak, that he had drunk too much, that he had provoked Su Hanri, that he was not seriously injured and that he had deliberately tried to scam her...
Su Wanti had already asked Ye Zi's cousin to investigate the true situation.
How could Su Hanri be as innocent as Madam Su said?
These days, he became arrogant because he had a sister who was a favorite concubine in the palace.
He was even more arrogant and complacent in front of those young masters of noble families who had disliked him in the past.
In the past, Fu Ziyu treated him like a dog. Now that he was in power, he wanted to take revenge. Whenever he saw Fu Ziyu, he would quarrel with her. In the end, they went from verbal ridicule to physical violence.
Now, Fu Ziyu is still lying in the prime minister's residence and has not yet woken up. Even the imperial physician from the palace has been invited over by Prime Minister Fu.
The imperial physician shook his head after examining the patient, saying there was nothing he could do.
The imperial physician said that Fu Ziyu was seriously injured, especially in the head, and he would probably remain in a coma. Even if he woke up, he might become mentally retarded.
Fu Xiang was both sad and angry, and he spoke out directly, saying that he wanted to kill Su Hanri.
"Wan'er, you are pregnant with the dragon fetus now, and you are the most favored by the emperor. Please plead for your brother in front of the emperor. As long as your brother is released, we can pay any amount of silver to the Su family!"
Su Wanti frowned, "Mother, it's not that I don't want to help you, it's just that what my brother did was too much."
"Moreover, the one who was offended was Prime Minister Fu, and the one who was injured was the Prime Minister's eldest son. Prime Minister Fu is the one the Emperor relies on the most. If the Emperor knew about this, he would only vent his anger on the Prime Minister's side. How could he favor us?"
Mrs. Su's eyes were filled with tears and she sobbed.
"Wan'er, think of a way. Now I can only rely on you. As long as I can save your brother, I will ask mother to do anything!"
She only has one son and one daughter. If her son dies, then Father Su will support other illegitimate sons. How can she be willing to accept that?
Su Wanti's eyes flickered slightly, and she said:
"It's not that there is no solution, but I'm afraid this solution will cause our Su family to suffer."
When Mrs. Su heard that there was a chance, she stopped crying and asked hurriedly:
"Wan'er, tell me quickly, what can you do?"
Su Wanti looked troubled, lowered her eyes and pursed her lips. After a while, she finally made up her mind and said softly:
"Mother, let me tell you a story."
"During a period in the previous dynasty, the royal treasury was not properly managed. Some noble families borrowed silver from the treasury. One noble family borrowed millions of taels of silver from the treasury over a period of more than ten years, and all of it was squandered by their descendants."
"Later, when the new emperor ascended the throne, he ordered an inventory of the treasury and demanded repayment from all borrowers. This noble family had borrowed millions of taels of silver. How could they possibly repay them? Even if they sold their mansions, estates, and shops, they still couldn't repay the debt!"
"So, the old lord came up with a plan. Late one night, he hanged himself."
