Chapter 71 Leaving the Palace
Earl's Mansion.
Su Rong looked at the brocade boxes in front of her with excitement and nodded repeatedly.
"Eunuch Fulu, please go back and tell the queen that I will do my best to follow your orders, Ling'er."
Fulu took the purse handed to him by Ling'er with a smile and bowed politely.
"Second Young Master, you are too polite. I will go back to the palace to report first."
"Okay, Ling'er, send Eunuch Fulu out properly."
"yes!"
Ling'er sent the person back with a look of joy on her face.
"Second Young Master's Madam, the Master and Madam in the front yard and the Eldest Young Master's Madam are all watching. They politely escorted Eunuch Fulu out. The Master also ordered the servants to find the son-in-law and bring him back to our courtyard. With the support of the Empress Shu, we won't have to endure bullying anymore!"
"Fortunately, my fourth sister still remembers me as her elder sister."
Su Rong touched the exquisite jewelry gift in the brocade box, raised her eyes and stared at the servant who was peeking outside, with a sinister light flashing in her eyes.
"I want to take back every person in this family who has bullied me!"
Ling'er paused: "Madam, I'm afraid this is not a good idea. If something goes wrong, then the title of Concubine Shu will be jeopardized..."
"Just don't reveal anything. Besides, I'm the elder sister of Consort Shu. Who would dare to pin the crime on me?"
Su Rong let out a long breath and stood up, holding her flat abdomen.
"Fourth sister wants her biological mother to be the mistress of the Su family legitimately, so she must go through me, the legitimate daughter. If she regrets it in the future, I can ruin Lin Sulan's reputation with just a few words, so she has to help me all the time."
"Madam, the fourth lady is now the most favored concubine and is pregnant with the heir. If she wants to deal with you, it will be easier than before..."
"It's precisely because she's in the spotlight right now, and she can't make any mistakes in her words or actions, that I can use her as leverage."
Su Rong walked to the door and stood there, raised her chin and looked at the anxious servants outside, then slowly raised the corners of her mouth.
"Go, have someone spread the news that Concubine Shu has bestowed upon me this precious gift throughout the capital!"
…
A concubine and a young palace maid who had no sense of existence died in the harem. Many people didn't even know who the dead people were, and there was no ripple at all.
Western suburbs outside the city.
Ji Yun led Xier out of the dirty toilet, staring blankly at the surrounding woods and the sunny sky.
Xiao Wuzi handed a bundle to Ji Yun.
"Miss Alan, the path ahead is about a quarter of an hour away, and you'll find your relatives' farm. Inside the bundle are three hundred taels of silver notes and a new ID for entering the city."
"…good."
Ji Yun took the bundle and hugged it tightly, her eyes red. "Thank you, little brother, and thank that person for me. I will definitely do as agreed."
"Miss, you are too polite. I am only here to help send a pair of sisters from other provinces here to look for their relatives. I will be leaving now. Take care, both of you."
"Thanks…"
Watching the ox cart go away, Xier covered her mouth and sobbed, hugging Ji Yun's arm.
"Promise, are we really leaving the palace? Is Xier dreaming..."
"Shhh."
Ji Yun raised her hand to wipe her tears: "Remember, from now on, there will be no Xi'er and no palace without a promise. I'm A Lan and you're A Xi. We are sisters, and we came here from other provinces to find our relatives. You must not let anything slip, understand?"
"Yeah, yes, sister..."
"Don't cry, let's go find our aunt."
Ji Yun took a deep breath, eager to go home, and walked quickly towards home holding her sister's hand.
When I saw the old couple hoeing the field in front of the low house, I burst into tears.
Mom and Dad, Yun'er finally came home alive!
…
Jingming Palace.
Xuan Yi lowered his eyes and looked at the small words on the note, and gently rubbed them with his fingertips until they turned into crumbs.
"Follow secretly, don't alert the enemy."
The two men in black in front bowed and then slipped out of the window.
Xuan Yi stood up, his dark eyes looking at the dim sky outside, a hint of doubt on his face.
She went to so much trouble to send those two people out of the palace, just out of sympathy?
If it was just sympathy, why did you hide it from him...
In Yufu Palace, Guyu asked the same question.
Xuanchen's matter was extremely secretive, and Su Ci did not tell anyone around her. She just said that out of sympathy, she asked Fulu to handle the matter privately.
"What do I say?"
Su Ci rolled her eyes speechlessly: "Oh, Your Majesty, do I sympathize with the promise you made that you didn't sleep with me, and secretly let her fake her death and leave the palace? Do you think I'm too stubborn or something?"
"Well, I just think that even if His Majesty knew, he wouldn't care about that person he has long forgotten..."
Gu Yu touched her nose. "Besides, you and Ji promised to talk in front of the Palace of the Young Lady that day, and many people in the palace knew about it. But within two days, Ji promised to die for no apparent reason. I'm afraid the truth will come out, and I'm worried that some bad rumors will spread."
"It's one thing not to remember, but nominally she was your Majesty's concubine. It would be illogical for me to let her go."
Su Ci waved her hand indifferently: "As for what others think, don't worry about it. I haven't even dealt with them yet. Why would I bother to kill a non-existent concubine? Even if His Majesty finds out, I will have my own way to deal with it."
"That's what the master said..."
Guyu was still a little worried: "But Master, Fulu came from Baorong Palace after all, will the Queen Mother..."
Su Ci raised the corner of her mouth slightly: "This is also my final test for him. It depends on whether he is willing to be loyal to his old master or to follow me, the new master."
"I see, Master is so thoughtful..."
"master."
Yanyu walked in: "Eunuch Zhuang came to tell you that your Majesty has some government affairs to attend to and will come back later."
"Oh, then prepare some water for bathing."
Since Su Ci became pregnant, she was worried about the temperature being too high, so she only took a bath every few days. She usually used a small bucket to scoop water for washing. She also paid special attention to gynecological hygiene. She also made several improved versions of lace-up panties with breathable fabrics. They were clean, hygienic and easy to change.
In modern times, she has a good friend who used to be a young nurse in the obstetrics and gynecology department. Because of her outstanding appearance, she resigned from her job and lived in Hengdian with the dream of becoming a star. She always chatted with her about some trivial matters in obstetrics and gynecology.
Pregnant women are more susceptible to gynecological diseases than ordinary women due to changes in hormone levels, changes in the acidity and alkalinity of their private parts, and low immunity. In ancient times, contracting these diseases was very troublesome.
Although Guyu Yanyu was very curious, she just thought that her master was full of tricks and did not ask too many questions. Anyway, her master's underwear could only be washed by the two of them and no one else was allowed to touch it.
…
When Xuan Yi walked into the dormitory, the person on the bed was already sleeping soundly.
"Hmm..."
Su Ci climbed up his neck and rubbed it as usual, then shrugged her nose and opened her eyes after a moment.
"Where do you shower?"
Xuan Yi had been coming to Yufu Palace to bathe during this period, and Nanny Qin even joked that the bathroom in Funing Palace had been dry for a long time.
Xuan Yi raised an eyebrow, the depression in his heart was instantly dispelled by this fierce and presumptuous question.
"I didn't want to disturb you, so I washed it in Funing Hall."
"Oh, Bo~"
Su Ci sucked it casually, closed her eyes again and found a comfortable position.
"So good."
“…”
Xuan Yi stared at the sleeping face in his arms for a moment, then raised the corner of his mouth slowly.
