The Queen Mother originally wanted Shangguan Ruoning to gradually replace Su Liyue. After all, five years had passed and Su Liyue's impression in other people's minds had long faded.
Moreover, Su Liyue did such a disgusting thing on her wedding night five years ago, and she still has a grudge in her heart.
But now that Su Liyue is back and has caused this scene, Shangguan Ruoning can only be a concubine.
When Su Liyue heard that Queen Mother Qin actually asked her to go and pick up Shangguan Ruoning and take her back to Prince Zhan's Mansion, she was naturally unwilling to do so.
Not to mention that if she did so, it would be embarrassing and weaken her momentum. Just considering Ye Cangming's unclear attitude, she felt that if she really went to pick him up, she would probably not get any benefits.
However, after learning from the previous lesson, Su Liyue did not force the issue. Instead, she lowered her head slightly and said, "The prince also came to the palace today. I still don't know what the prince means. If the prince agrees to take her back, I can go later. After all, I dare not disobey the prince's wishes."
When Queen Dowager Qin heard this, she subconsciously frowned, thinking that Su Liyue was just making excuses.
Seeing Su Liyue's obedient appearance, he felt that Su Liyue might be telling the truth.
Moreover, ever since that incident thirteen years ago, the fifth brother's temper has become much colder. Seven years ago, when he was lame, he was even ruthless to his relatives. Five years ago, he married Su Liyue for that same reason... All these factors might really make the fifth brother disobey her wishes.
At this moment, Queen Mother Qin suddenly felt that she might have done something bad with good intentions.
After all, if two people who love each other hadn't interfered, they would have naturally gotten together after returning from the victory, instead of having this farce happen like today.
For a moment, Queen Mother Qin felt a little regretful.
However, even so, Queen Mother Qin would not show it in front of Su Liyue. She only instructed Madam Lu, "Send someone to find Old Fifth. I have something to ask you."
When Madam Lu heard this, she responded and left.
The Queen Mother then looked at Su Liyue with a cold look and said sternly, "Remember what you just said."
If there is no problem with Lao Wu, don't blame her for being rude if Su Liyue dares to obstruct him.
The Queen Mother's eyes darkened slightly.
"Yes—" Su Liyue responded respectfully.
Anyway, we should just do whatever the Queen Mother says now.
As for whether Shangguan Ruoning would enter Prince Zhan's Mansion, she didn't care, and she didn't think about spending her whole life with Ye Cangming anyway.
Seeing Su Liyue's response, Queen Mother Qin's expression softened slightly. "Alright, I'm tired, please leave."
When Su Liyue heard this, her eyes suddenly lit up, as if she had been pardoned.
I finally got away successfully today.
However, Su Liyue's tone of voice was obviously too relaxed too early.
As soon as she walked out of the gate of Yongshou Palace, she saw an old eunuch with gray hair and no beard standing not far away, looking at her with a smile.
This look revealed a message: he came to find her.
Although she didn't recognize the eunuch, Su Liyue knew that his master was no ordinary person just by looking at his attire.
If an ordinary person comes to her, how can anything good happen?
Thinking of this, Su Liyue wanted to pretend that she didn't see it and was about to slip away.
"Princess Zhan, please wait a moment."
…
Su Liyue stood at the foot of the high stone steps, looking up at the three large gold-plated characters "Imperial Study" with a somewhat dazed expression.
She really didn't expect that after avoiding the empress dowager's difficulties, she would be summoned by the emperor.
Is God going to kill her?
Thinking of the feeling of being beaten with a stick, Su Liyue's face became even worse.
What a wicked imperial society!
Sooner or later, she will escape from this crappy royal family.
Eunuch Xi glanced at Su Liyue, whose face looked very bad. His eyes moved, and then he smiled and said, "Princess Zhan, please wait a moment. I will go in and inform you."
As he spoke, Eunuch Xi went up the stone steps and pushed open the door of the imperial study.
Soon, the door of the imperial study rang again. Su Liyue thought it was Eunuch Xi coming out. When she looked up, she was met with a pair of malicious eyes.
Seeing the person coming, Su Liyue's eyes darkened.
This person was none other than her half-sister Su Jingchu, who had the same father as her in this body.
Originally, Su Jingchu was supposed to be the young lady from the prime minister's mansion who married Ye Cangming, but because of her selfishness, the original owner had to be recalled to the capital to marry in her place.
On the same day of her wedding, Su Jingchu married the second son of the Queen, Prince Duan, as she wished.
Today, Su Jingchu is the Princess of Duan.
By the time Su Liyue figured out Su Jingchu's identity, Su Jingchu had already walked down the stone steps.
At this time, the ill intention in Su Jingchu's eyes had long disappeared, replaced by an apologetic look.
What is Su Jingchu feeling guilty about?
Su Liyue frowned, her intuition telling her that Su Jingchu had no good intentions.
As expected, the next moment, Su Jingchu said, "Sister, I'm so sorry. Brother Ming should have accompanied you to see the Queen Mother, but because of me, you were left alone..."
When Su Liyue heard this, she didn't react for a moment.
But Su Jingchu stepped forward and was about to grab her hand, but Su Liyue dodged without thinking.
Su Jingchu's hand fell empty, and she felt a moment of embarrassment, but she quickly recovered and looked at Su Liyue with a worried look on her face. "Sister, I also heard about what happened today. You went to the Queen Mother alone. Did the Queen Mother give you any trouble?"
Su Liyue then realized that the 'Brother Ming' Su Jingchu was referring to was Ye Cangming.
But, isn't Ye Cangming's white moonlight Shangguan Ruoning? Why is his ex-fiancée Su Jingchu still having an affair with him?
In an instant, Su Liyue's mind was convinced that Ye Cangming was a scumbag who was lingering between two women.
