Su Jingchu looked at Su Liyue, with a hint of calculation in his eyes.
"Sister, if you hadn't interceded for me in front of the Emperor, I wouldn't have been able to attend this Spring Banquet today. I just don't know how to thank you."
Su Jingchu's voice was loud, and almost everyone present heard it.
Even those who didn't hear it all knew what Su Jingchu said after asking others.
So everyone's eyes fell on Su Liyue, with curiosity and scrutiny in their eyes.
Everyone was puzzled. What virtue did Su Liyue have to deserve such a big favor from the emperor? After all, everyone knew that Su Jingchu was under house arrest. The emperor's words were usually golden, so how could he take them back so easily?
At least, almost no one present had ever seen the emperor take back his order.
Seeing that everyone was staring at Su Liyue with suspicion, Su Jingchu's eyes were full of pride.
She just wanted to make everyone doubt Su Liyue and feel resentful towards her.
After all, why would someone like Su Liyue be thought highly of by the emperor?
And this is just the first step. Once her plan is implemented, everyone will target Su Liyue.
Of course, if everyone didn't target Su Liyue because of this matter, just her revealing this would be enough to cause trouble for Su Liyue.
In short, she didn't lose out.
However, in Su Liyue's eyes, Su Jingchu's tricks were like children playing house.
What if these people were targeting her? What if they weren't?
She had nothing to do with those people, so whether they targeted her or not meant no loss to her.
only--
Su Liyue narrowed her eyes slightly and looked at Su Jingchu.
Su Jingchu has planned a lot for today, so he shouldn't be so bored that he would come here just to satisfy his craving, right?
Could it be that Su Jingchu is going to take action now?
Just as she was thinking this, Su Liyue moved her nose slightly, and then her eyes darkened a little, and she quickly had a guess in her mind.
She was really impatient. She thought Su Jingchu would take action in the second half.
After all, if you make too much noise at the beginning, you will miss all the exciting things that come later.
"princess--"
Just as Su Liyue was thinking, a voice came.
Su Liyue and Su Jingchu looked back at the same time, only to see a maid hurried over.
This maid was none other than Qiuju, who was beside Su Jingchu.
Seeing the anxiety on Qiuju's face, Su Liyue seemed to have guessed something, and a hint of mystery appeared on her face.
When Su Jingchu saw Qiuju, he frowned.
"Shut up." Su Jingchu scolded, "Don't you see what kind of place this is? How can you yell like that?"
It was a complete disgrace to her.
Qiuju's face turned pale, and she paused, a little hesitant.
But soon Qiuju stepped forward and whispered something in Su Jingchu's ear.
Everyone could see that Su Jingchu's expression had turned visibly uglier, and his eyes were gloomy as he looked at Qiuju. "Are you telling the truth?"
Qiuju nodded: "Absolutely true."
Su Jingchu gritted his teeth, glanced at Su Liyue with some reluctance, and then said nothing as he hurried out of the banquet venue.
Everyone looked at Su Jingchu's hurried steps and were a little curious for a moment. Some people even couldn't help but want to follow and take a look.
But it was just a thought. The banquet would soon begin. If they were not there when the emperor and empress appeared, it would be disrespectful.
As for Su Jingchu and the few princes who hadn't arrived yet? What a joke! Could these ministers and their families be compared with the royal family?
Obviously not.
So no matter how itching these people were, they had to sit in their seats obediently.
Su Liyue withdrew her gaze indifferently.
It goes without saying that Prince Duan's affair must have been exposed, and Su Jingchu should be going to find Prince Duan at this time.
Just as she was thinking this, Su Liyue noticed that the fourth brother Ye Xuqi was looking at her.
Su Liyue: “…”
For some reason, I felt that Ye Xuqi's gaze was a little strange.
But she couldn't figure out what was so strange about it. When she wanted to look again, Ye Xuqi had already looked away.
However, the doubts in Su Liyue's heart did not dissipate, and she stared at Ye Xuqi thoughtfully.
Could it be that Prince Huai Ye Xuqi had seen what I did to Prince Duan?
this--
"Just now by the lake, did you feel that there was someone around?" Su Liyue asked Xirong who was standing beside her in a voice that only the two of them could hear.
Xirong also said softly, "I didn't see it."
Su Liyue didn't feel relieved after hearing this.
She felt that King Huai could not have looked at her for no reason, and that his gaze was not just a simple glance.
However, after less than three seconds of hesitation, Su Liyue felt relieved again.
Even if she saw it, so what? There was no evidence, and as long as she refused to admit it, then she couldn't be blamed.
Moreover, if Prince Huai stood on Prince Duan's side, then she would definitely not treat Prince Huai, and it would be hard to say who would suffer in the end.
Moreover, she felt that King Huai, who had been ill since childhood, would not be willing to be involved in such matters.
After all, if you know you're going to die sooner or later, how can you possibly bother caring about other people's affairs? Wouldn't that be a waste of life and time?
Especially since she had never heard that Prince Huai and Prince Duan had a good relationship before.
After Su Liyue figured it out, she sat in her seat and ate snacks leisurely with peace of mind.
In fact, there were snacks on every table, but no one present ate them for fear of being disrespectful.
However, for Su Liyue, these are not a big deal.
Starving yourself is a bigger deal than being rude.
After all, I only had a snack to fill my stomach early in the morning, and now I'm hungry.
She will have to deal with Su Jingchu and Prince Duan when they come over later, so how can she do that on an empty stomach?
So, when everyone was waiting for the arrival of the emperor and empress, Su Liyue was eating snacks as if no one was around, which naturally attracted a lot of attention.
"The Empress Dowager has arrived—The Empress has arrived—"
At this moment, a shrill voice belonging to a eunuch was heard.
Everyone stood up to welcome the Queen and the Queen Mother because Su Liyue was different.
Su Liyue stuffed the small piece of dessert in her hand into her mouth, then slowly stood up.
Unlike the others who bowed their heads and lowered their eyes, Su Liyue looked openly in the direction of the Queen Mother and the Empress.
Today, the Empress Dowager and the Queen were both dressed in their best attire. They were supported by the palace maids and walked slowly towards them. They were graceful, with a strong aura and great style.
Soon, Su Liyue discovered that the person following the Queen Mother had a visibly colder expression on his face.
