Chapter 684 She is Ambitious
Concubine Shu didn't know how she returned to Yongning Palace.
As soon as she entered the gate of Yongning Palace, she sat down on the ground with her legs dangling. Her whole body was soaked in cold sweat and her face was pale.
Does His Majesty suspect her?
But, that's impossible!
In order to avoid suspicion, she did not go through the Weiguo Mansion in that matter, so she should not be suspected.
"Empress, what's wrong with you?"
"Are you ill? I will send the imperial physician to you."
"Someone is coming..."
"Ruyi, I'm fine."
Concubine Shu interrupted Aunt Ruyi and waved to her, but her pupils were dull and her whole body was shaking, she didn't look like she was fine at all.
But once the master has spoken, it is not appropriate for servants to act on their own.
"Then I will help you in and let you rest."
"Bath."
Concubine Shu dismissed her attendants and soaked in the bathtub alone, still reviewing what the emperor said today in her mind. She had no idea whether it was sincere or a test.
Serving the emperor is like serving a tiger. It is impossible to guess what the emperor is thinking, especially with so many major events happening recently.
I think the latter is more likely.
After making her judgment, Concubine Shu calmed down and said, "Come here, send a letter to His Majesty, saying that His Majesty is not feeling well and ask him to return to the palace as soon as possible."
"Yes!"
"Also, go and invite mother to the palace and tell her that I miss her."
......
After Xu Xing came back from outside, he heard that the old lady was waiting for him, so he went to the Bamboo Garden immediately.
The old lady dismissed the servants and ordered people to guard outside the yard and not allow anyone to come in to disturb her. After the door was closed, she started talking about business with her grandson.
"Your aunt has been brave and opinionated since she was young. She knows how to act like a spoiled child and her wisdom is no less than any other man..."
Therefore, her frankness and honesty in front of the emperor were just a disguise for her to gain a foothold in the palace.
Concubine Shu, she is ambitious.
When Concubine Shu entered the palace, Xu Xing already had some memories and had some impressions of his aunt.
What his grandmother said was his evaluation of his aunt.
"My aunt asked you to come into the palace. Did the messenger say anything?"
The old lady said, "She said she missed me."
Not long ago, the old lady went to Yongning Palace. It hasn’t been that long. If she really missed her, she should use this as an excuse. The old lady knows what’s going on.
Since her daughter entered the palace, she seldom sent anyone to tell her to enter.
"I guess she might have encountered some difficulties."
It has to be said that no one knows a daughter better than her mother.
Having trouble?
Is it possible...
Xu Xing had a bold guess in his mind, but he was afraid that the old lady would worry and that he was wrong, so he did not tell her directly. Instead, he said, "Since my aunt misses my grandmother, and with the grace of His Majesty, you should go to the palace to accompany her."
"Your Highness has been gone for a few months, it's time for him to come back."
"Once he comes back, I won't feel lonely anymore with him around."
The old lady nodded, looked at her grandson lovingly, and said with a smile: "You are right. I haven't seen those two little monkeys for a while, and I miss them very much."
"The third brother will be back before the New Year."
After Xu Xing chatted with the old lady for a while, he left the Bamboo Garden.
After returning to the study, he immediately ordered Zhuifeng to write a letter to ask Xu Zhao and the Seventh Prince to return to the capital.
I had thought of hiding in the military camp to avoid the limelight, but if my aunt was really involved in the case on Baiyun Mountain, what difference would it make where the Seventh Prince was?
