Chapter 225 The Cold Palace Order
"Huh? What's wrong?" Su Yue was stunned. Did Li Yan notice something?
"Miss Su, the strength and thickness of this needle are wrong." Li Yan met Su Yue's eyes with a serious look.
"Uh...it was my mistake. I took the wrong needle." Su Yue said helplessly, put away the thin needle she had just inserted, and took out the thickest silver needle.
He aimed his middle finger at Li Yan and exerted force.
"Ah!" A scream came out of Li Yan's mouth, which was even comparable to the one coming from Aunt Liu inside.
"Yes, Miss Su, this is right, that's the feeling." As the piercing pain slowly subsided, Li Yan's face showed a satisfied smile.
After missing the pain for more than two months, he will surely have a good sleep tonight.
"Miss Su, thank you. We father and son will not bother you any further." When Minister Li saw that Su Yue had finished the acupuncture, he took Li Yan's hand and said goodbye.
Su Yue didn't stop her, as she naturally had important things to do.
When Su Yue arrived at the gate of the palace, it was already midnight. Because she had treated the emperor during the day, the emperor specially gave her a token allowing her to enter and leave the palace at any time.
This also makes it convenient for Su Yue to go directly to see the emperor when she has any new ideas about the emperor's condition.
Afterwards, Su Yue met the emperor under the guidance of the guards.
"Girl Yue, you are so anxious to see me so late at night. Could it be that I am ill..."
Ever since the emperor drank the medicine prescribed by Su Yue, the itchy throat has eased a lot. Now he is lying on his side on the bed, looking at the memorials that have piled up in the past few days.
"In reply to Your Majesty, the reason I am meeting you this time is not to discuss your illness, but to ask you for a favor."
Su Yue looked at the emperor who was still working hard at this time, and there was a hint of emotion in her eyes.
Everyone wants to be the emperor who is high above everyone else, but they don’t know how much it costs to be a good emperor.
"Girl Yue, if you have anything to say, just tell me. You have helped me so much, and I was wondering how to reward you. Now that you have a request, it's just perfect."
When the emperor heard that Su Yue wanted a favor from him, a hint of interest flashed in his eyes. He was curious about what Su Yue wanted to ask of him.
"Your Majesty, I request to take Concubine Yi out of the cold palace because my aunt is giving birth and it seems to be very difficult. My aunt is shouting that she wants to see Concubine Yi, so I dared to come here."
After Su Yue finished speaking, she stopped talking, and the house became extremely quiet for a moment.
"Yes, I agree." The emperor didn't know how long it took or how long he thought about it, but he finally agreed.
"Eunuch Zhu, bring me a blank imperial edict. I will write one for Su Yue to take to the cold palace."
After the emperor whispered an order to Eunuch Zhu, he struggled to get up.
"Your Majesty, an oral order will do." Seeing that the emperor had difficulty getting up, Su Yue hurried forward to support him.
"Yue girl, take the imperial edict to the cold palace, it's safe."
Su Yue never understood what the emperor meant until she stepped into the cold palace herself.
The cold palace, I had never been there in my previous life. I only knew that it was where concubines who had made mistakes stayed.
Now, Su Yue had just arrived at the door and she felt that the temperature seemed to be much lower than outside.
"Princess, let's go in."
Eunuch Zhu's voice sounded. Originally, Su Yue wanted to come alone with the imperial edict, but the emperor insisted that Eunuch Zhu come as well. It was difficult to disobey the imperial order, and Su Yue couldn't refuse.
"The imperial edict has arrived, Concubine Yi, please receive it!" Eunuch Zhu's slightly sharp voice echoed in the dilapidated and empty cold palace for a long time.
A cold wind blew by, but there was no response at all.
"The imperial edict has arrived, Concubine Yi, please receive it!" Eunuch Zhu shouted again, and Su Yue heard some movement.
In the silent night, there was a constant creaking sound of doors opening, and it was obvious that there were more than just Concubine Yi coming out.
"Your Majesty, did Your Majesty remember me?" When Su Xin heard the first voice of Concubine Yi accepting the order, she was so shocked that she thought she was hallucinating and did not dare to move for a long time.
Then, it was not until she heard it the second time that she was completely convinced, and then she rushed out without hesitation.
"Eunuch Zhu, tell the emperor that I know I was wrong. If the emperor doesn't believe me, I can kill the guard myself."
Su Xin stepped over the broken threshold and rushed directly to Eunuch Zhu's side, paying no attention to Su Yue who was standing beside him.
Not far away, many concubines looked at Su Xin who was kneeling on the ground and begging desperately, some with contempt, some with curiosity, and some with silly smiles.
Concubine Hui was naturally among them, but she was not looking at Concubine Yi, but Su Yue next to her.
Her eyes were filled with shock.
This Su Yue actually appeared again? !
Although Su Yue now has a head full of black hair, Concubine Hui will definitely not mistake those eyes.
Su Yue glanced at the concubines here and was shocked. Some of them looked crazy.
Su Yue was sure that if Eunuch Zhu had not been here with the imperial edict, she would definitely have been besieged.
Eunuch Zhu looked at Su Xin lying at his feet, and a trace of pity flashed in his eyes.
This Concubine Yi was just a tool in the fight between the Emperor and the Empress. The Emperor knew at the first moment that Concubine Yi was arranged by the Empress, so he acted quickly to subdue the Empress and cut off her little thoughts.
Afterwards, he arranged for several guards to "closely" protect Concubine Yi. The guard had originally received the emperor's instructions to seduce Concubine Yi. It was Concubine Yi's own fault that she lacked self-control.
"Concubine Yi, please stand up and receive the imperial edict." Eunuch Zhu came back to his senses and said softly again.
"Your Majesty...Your Majesty accepts your order." When Su Xin heard what Eunuch Zhu said, she knelt down hurriedly and took a few steps back. Until now, she has not raised her head.
"The Emperor, in compliance with the Will of Heaven, proclaims that the Prime Minister's concubine is having a difficult labor, and has ordered Concubine Yi to visit her. I decree this."
After Eunuch Zhu finished reading the decree, he closed the imperial edict and waited for Su Xin to receive it.
When Su Xin heard the imperial edict, she was stunned at first, then she raised her head in shock. Just as she was about to say something, she finally noticed Su Yue next to her.
"Su Yue?" Su Xin was stunned at first, then when she saw Su Yue's hair, she became uncertain again.
Su Yue just looked at Su Xin without saying anything until Su Xin subconsciously called her just now. She became more certain that the Concubine Yi in front of her was Su Xin.
After all, she had only met Concubine Yi once, at her coming-of-age ceremony. So much time had passed that even her hair color had changed. If she was really a stranger they had only met once, she would not have called her name in that tone.
"That's right, I'm back." Su Yue just looked at Su Xin who was kneeling on the ground, the light in her eyes flickering, making people wonder what she was thinking.
"Eunuch Zhu, did the emperor make a mistake in his decree? I'm not very familiar with the concubine of the Prime Minister's Mansion, so why did he ask me to come over?"
Su Xin met Su Yue's eyes that seemed to see through everything, and she panicked. She wiped the tears from her face and hurriedly explained to Eunuch Zhu.
Rather than explaining to Eunuch Zhu, it would be better to explain to Su Yue.
"The Emperor has always been wise and will not make a wrong decree. Concubine Yi, please accept the decree and thank the Emperor. Follow Miss Su to the Prime Minister's residence."
When Eunuch Zhu heard Su Xin say that the Emperor had issued the wrong order, his face froze and then he looked unhappy.
No wonder Concubine Yi ended up like this after being used. She really didn't think before speaking. Who would dare to question the imperial edict in front of it?
"Empress Yi, the emperor is right. Please follow me. My aunt insists on seeing you."
Su Yue looked at Su Xin, who was looking around, and spoke softly.
"I won't go. I have no relationship with your aunt, why do you want me to go?"
Su Xin panicked, especially under Su Yue's gaze. She felt that if she went to the Prime Minister's Mansion, something very bad would definitely happen.
"Empress Yi, you'd better think about it carefully. If you disobey the order, you will lose your head."
Su Yue ignored Su Xin's panic and warned her again.
