Su Wenyuan, accompanied by palace eunuchs and guards, left the palace in a grand procession to deliver an imperial decree.
This is an imperial edict; she definitely can't go alone.
After she left, the Imperial Study was extremely quiet.
The Emperor felt that his ears were finally at peace, and the Empress had successfully survived her ordeal and had not been too badly harmed by Su Wenyuan.
The two looked at each other and both saw the weariness in each other's eyes.
Arguing with Su Wenyuan was more tiring than fighting.
The Emperor was displeased with the Empress's actions and originally wanted to reprimand her, but he was too weak to do so, so he gave up.
When Su Lin'er enters the palace and reaps the consequences of her actions, she will definitely regret it, which will be much more effective than scolding her.
The Empress regrets it now; she didn't even have to wait for Su Lin'er to enter the palace.
She almost let Sheng Zixi marry Su Lin'er, and she and Su Lin'er almost became sisters living in the harem.
She couldn't accept either of them, not even a little bit.
Neither of them moved, both trying to calm themselves down. The Emperor reminisced about Su Wenyuan, who had been willing to coax him when he first entered the palace.
Why did you provoke her for no reason? Just bored!
The Emperor thought of Su Yuan again. Su Yuan had seen Su Wenyuan yesterday and even fainted at the Prince Chen's residence, clearly angered by her.
It seems that Su Wenyuan showed them some leniency.
Then I remembered the imperial physician's diagnosis: Su Yuan's stroke seemed to have been caused by anger.
"Your Majesty should go back and rest. Don't get angry easily; it's bad for your health," the Emperor gently reminded her.
He didn't want a queen with a crooked mouth and crooked eyes.
"After you return, Empress, remember to have the imperial physician examine you and give you some treatment," the Emperor reminded her once again.
Seeing that the Emperor was not angry and even cared about her, the Empress felt a great weight lifted from her heart.
After the Empress left, the Emperor also hired a royal physician for himself and asked several times if he would have a stroke.
Only after receiving a definitive answer from the imperial physician did he feel completely at ease.
The Su residence.
When the father and daughter returned, a group of aunts greeted them at the gate of the mansion, hoping to hear some good news as soon as possible.
But seeing Su Lin'er's ashen face, none of them dared to step forward and ask her anything.
Su Lin'er was furious when she saw the cloak on Su Yuan. She snatched it away and threw it into the brazier.
"Hey hey hey!" Su Xian rushed forward, rescued the cloak, and extinguished the fire on it.
Although it wasn't completely destroyed by the fire, some areas still bear the marks of the fire.
Su Xian knew the state of the mansion and could not tolerate their waste and extravagance.
Such a fine cape can be reused even if you no longer want to wear it.
Su Lin'er glared at him fiercely, turned and left without offering any further explanation.
Su Yuan was handed over to Su Xian, and Su Lin'er ignored it and locked herself in her room.
"What's wrong?" Su Xian asked, puzzled.
No one answered, so he asked Su Yuan again, "Father, what's wrong with her?"
Su Yuan couldn't speak fluently and was shivering from the cold, while Su Xian, like a complete idiot, kept asking for the reason.
At this moment, Su Yuan really wanted to die. He was beyond saving, and his whole family was beyond saving.
"Ah!" Su Xiancai realized what was happening and had someone send Su Yuan back.
There wasn't a brazier in the room, and it was bitterly cold, so Su Xian quickly arranged for someone to prepare one.
Su Wenyuan walked down the road with the imperial edict, making quite a show of it, as if she wanted everyone to know that she had obtained the edict.
However, the contents of the imperial edict are unknown, but judging from the direction, it is still heading towards the Su residence.
And so she gathered a large crowd and came to the entrance of the Su residence to watch the spectacle.
When the maid told Su Lin'er to come out and receive the imperial decree, she was stunned.
A number of thoughts flashed through his mind, but he couldn't recall the contents of the imperial edict.
Su Wenyuan entered the palace after her, so she must have gotten the imperial decree; it couldn't possibly be that she was asked to enter the Prince Chen's residence.
Su Wenyuan isn't stupid, she definitely wouldn't think so, so what could it be?
Su Lin'er nervously came out to receive the imperial decree, and Su Yuan was also carried out.
Su Wenyuan stood in front of him with ill intent, not saying a word, but staring intently at him.
Su Yuan struggled to speak, uttering three unclear words.
Even though it was unclear, Su Wenyuan still understood, or perhaps she understood it from what she saw; in any case, he was apologizing.
"It's too late." Su Wenyuan's casual reply completely dissuaded Su Yuan.
Su Wenyuan not only couldn't forgive him, but she also didn't take him seriously. She treated the entire Su family as her own.
Seeing that everyone had arrived, Su Wenyuan signaled the eunuch to announce the imperial decree.
Everyone's attention was on the eunuch who was delivering the imperial decree. Su Wenyuan stood in front of Su Yuan and said in a low voice, "There's something I really want to ask you."
Su Yuan nodded excitedly, indicating that Su Wenyuan could ask whatever she wanted.
"You and Wang have lived in Rongzhu Courtyard for so long, have you found anything? Or perhaps a hidden compartment?"
Su Yuan was clearly taken aback, looking somewhat bewildered.
It seems he was unaware that something was hidden in Rongzhuyuan.
Su Wenyuan smiled with satisfaction: "It's good that you don't know. Just live well first, and I'll come back to find you."
Before the friendly exchange on this side had even ended, everyone already knew the contents of the imperial edict.
They all looked at Su Lin'er with strange expressions. Why was she suddenly asked to enter the palace to accompany the Empress?
They couldn't say whether it was good or bad, they just found it strange.
Su Lin'er took the imperial edict and rushed to Su Wenyuan, demanding, "Did you do this?"
Her relationship with the Empress hasn't reached that point yet. If she enters the palace to accompany the Empress, can she really have a good life?
"Tsk." Su Wenyuan said with a wicked smile, "I did it, but I think you should thank me."
When Su Lin'er heard the word "thank you," she felt it couldn't be anything good, but she still wanted to hear what Su Wenyuan had to say.
Would you like some tea?
Su Wenyuan didn't answer and walked straight to the front hall.
Su Lin'er dismissed the people from the palace and hurriedly chased after them.
Once inside, Su Wenyuan confessed, "In order to get you into Prince Chen's residence, the Empress told the Emperor that she liked you, that she got along well with you, that she couldn't bear to see you suffer, and that she was worried that you wouldn't be able to get married."
"But I also said that the Prince Chen's mansion cannot accommodate you. I said this to their faces. If you insist on going in, you will definitely die a horrible death. So, I'm pointing you in the right direction."
The Eighth Prince left the palace to establish his own residence after the New Year, but he was still living in the palace at this time.
Su Lin'er went to accompany the Empress, a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to be in close proximity to her.
"Of course, you can stick to what you think. Just wait and see if I kill you or not!"
After finishing her sentence, Su Wenyuan got up and left, not wanting to stay a moment longer.
The Empress is harming others without benefiting herself, and she insists on making things difficult for her. Coincidentally, she wants to do the same thing now.
As soon as Su Lin'er understood, she caught up with Su Wenyuan once again.
For her, it doesn't matter which one she chooses, since neither is easy and both are beneficial to her.
The problem is that the Empress helped them choose Sheng Jingyu.
If the Eighth Prince is chosen, will Su Wenyuan help her?
Without help, she can't go down either of these paths.
Su Wenyuan was not surprised to see her chasing after her, and could guess what she was thinking.
