Chapter 504 Beauty after Beauty?
Tusu Qingli smiled sadly, just in case? What a good excuse, obviously for her sake, in reality, but it is just to show that the family is not willing to bet all the treasure on her alone, but also to compete or not, is not the family’s own determination, she is just a pawn that can be replaced at any time!
Seeing Tusu Qingli’s expression was not right, Wei frowned and said, “Qingli, you should have known your father and my intentions, Qingqiu has been cultivated according to your model, as long as you can capture the Emperor’s attention, there is no way for her to come out of the gate, your father’s actions seem cold and heartless, but in reality it is just for the sake of multiple safeguards to not let some of the Tusu family’s hard work go to waste, the family’s interest Above all else, if you don’t work hard on your own, even if I am your biological mother, I can’t protect you.”
Tusu Qingli lowered her head, the channel haze flashed under her eyes, she had seen the family’s approach, every step had to consider the family’s interests, not to mention that she was a first daughter, even if it was her father’s first son, the sacrifices were still unmerciful, “Yes, mother, my daughter understands.”
Wei nodded, “The family has already sent all thirty million taels of silver to the palace, the emperor did not say how to resettle you, you have to be calm, you must not be in a hurry. Last time when Bu Linglong was poisoned, we all saw that there was a hidden agenda, this loss will not be in vain, we will always help you get it back.”
Tusu Qingli raised her eyes, “Mother, can I only hold back now?”
“Not bad, a movement is better than a silence, the emperor intends to suppress the Tu Su family, then let him do so, we just need to make a most humble and respectful gesture to be able to do so. That step Linglong seems to have the upper hand, but in the end, she is the princess of the Great Yue country, even if it is into the harem, the emperor likes her look, but also can not give her too high position, not my kind of heart will be different, the emperor is not a fool. You just need to wait, just like your father said, don’t compete overnight.”
Tusu Qingli tried her best to push down the unwillingness in her heart and looked up at Wei with a well-behaved head, “Yes, mother, I remember.”
Wei nodded, “Good, it is inconvenient for mother to stay here for a long time, she will leave the palace at this moment, remember my words.”
“Uh-huh.”
Sent away Wei, Tu Su Qing Li sat in the chair for a long time without saying anything, for a while before snorting a laugh, “Not to fight for a day and a night … Heh, I also can’t fight for ah … Just, since I have entered the palace, I won’t give others a chance, Tu Su Qingqiu and the like, or die!”
Father will Tu Su Qingqiu received is the heart has other plans, she wants to get rid of this hidden danger in advance, living in the family for so long, she is not really do not know anything.
Inside the Kun Yu Palace, Hong Ling walked in softly, “Your Highness, Mrs. Wei has already left.”
“Well, what about the Emperor’s side, has Tu Su Qing Yun left the palace?”
“Not yet, just now a chamberlain came to say that the Emperor invited Prince Yi over as well, now I’m afraid it’s very lively.”
Shen Ninghua smiled, “Then let’s go see Princess Linglong, the Princess has been sick for so long, this Palace should also visit her.”
Yu Shou Hall, step Linglong half leaning on the bed, through the window to see the outside of a large piece of colorful Yumei, only feel a vision of a trance, headache, the more you look at the more irritable, but these flowers are the emperor let people transplanted in, she also showed the extremely like, can only let a person carefully take care of.
Shen Ninghua walked into the Yushu Hall and looked at the large field of flowers, and couldn’t help but sigh, “These flowers are really well taken care of.”
The palace maids of the Yu Su Hall hurriedly kneeled down and saluted, hearing this, they only felt their hearts jumping, the Empress Dowager would not come today to attack Princess Linglong, would she? The gods are fighting and the little ghosts are suffering, they don’t want to be implicated. …
“The Empress has arrived!”
Bu Linglong was startled and hurriedly let the palace maid help her up, “Linglong has met the Empress Mother.”
“Princess forgive me, your body is not well, quickly sit down.” Shen Ninghua sized up Bu Linglong, after this illness, her originally thin body became weaker and weaker, her palm-sized face was pale and bloodless, just like a lily ravaged by the wind and rain, which was heartbreaking to watch.
“Linglong’s body has never been very good, but it is disturbing that Your Highness has taken the trouble, it is really Linglong who is not.” Bu Linglong also couldn’t figure out the purpose of Shen Ninghua’s visit, so she could only pick the good things to say.
Shen Ninghua looked at her with a smile, her gaze unable to see the slightest emotion, “You live in the palace as a guest, yet you suddenly fell ill, so naturally I, the host, have to come and take a look, and by the way there are some things I want to say to you as well.”
“I don’t know what Your Highness wants to say?” Bu Linglong slightly lowered her eyes, her heart a little uneasy. What happened recently was nothing more than the matter of Tu Su Qing Li poisoning her, and as the Emperor had decreed that he wanted the Tu Su family’s silver, it was thought that Shen Ning Hua had come today to put this matter to rest.
“Princess is a smart person, I think I should have guessed a thing or two. This palace came today for the matter of Tu Su Qing Li poisoning you.”
“Your Highness, I’ve also learned a bit about this matter, although Miss Tu Su and I haven’t known each other for a long time, she’s not a person with a cruel heart, so I don’t think she could do anything to poison me, there must be some misunderstanding among them.”
“After hearing this palace is also extremely surprised, let a person to investigate the truth, unfortunately, check to a few palace girls on the clues on the broken, just, you said it is good, things are indeed not TuSuQingLi do, the emperor was too angry at that time, after the attack to learn the truth, the princess did not misunderstand the TuSu sister, that is naturally the best, however, I heard that, YiPrince seems to think otherwise …”
Step Linglong heart, check to the courtesan on the broken clues, but know and Tu Su Qing Li has nothing to do, at first glance is a perfunctory excuse for their own:
“My father has doted on me extremely since I was a child, and now that he has heard that I have been victimized, I am afraid that he is only angry and has no sense whatsoever, so please forgive me if I have offended someone, Your Highness.”
“Love daughter’s heart can be understood, however, still need the princess to show an attitude is, otherwise, Prince Yi is afraid that will not easily believe, otherwise, futile misunderstanding is not good.”
“Yes, Linglong understands and will immediately have someone tell Father the truth.”
“That’s good, then the princess will rest, this palace will not disturb.”
Shen Ninghua exited the Yu Shou Hall, her brows slightly furrowed, “Hongling, which eunuch is responsible for tempering Bu Linglong’s body?”
“It’s Dr. Chen Zhen Chen from the Imperial Hospital.”
“Have his prescription sent to me.”
“Yes, Mother, did you find anything wrong?”
Shen Ninghua gently turned the jade bracelet on her wrist, “What do you think of Bu Linglong’s physical condition?”
Hongling thought back carefully and said, “When we met for the first time, we only felt that she was unusually delicate. However, when we met later, under close observation, we saw that she was breathing steadily, and although she walked a bit fluttering but without any appearance of inadequacy, nowadays, it seems to be really weak.”
Shen Ninghua gently hooked her lips, “I remember that as soon as His Majesty met Bu Linglong, he said that he seemed to have a sense of familiarity with her, so it shouldn’t be a coincidence. It’s impossible to say that this Princess Linglong is hiding some big secret.”
“Your Highness, the slave girl will have someone go check it out.”
“Well, be careful, don’t spook them.”
“Yes.”
Returning to Kun Yu Palace, Baili Jun Yi had already returned, seeing Shen Ning Hua immediately went forward to hold her hand, “What are you doing out in this hot day? Your body has not been well-trained, forget what Uncle Chen said, rest well in the heat, don’t get caught in the summer heat.”
“I went to the Yushu Hall, but it’s only a few steps, and there’s still the sedan chair to do, where it’s that easy to get heatstroke.”
“Jade Gargoyle Hall? What did Bu Linglong say?”
“She has always been extraordinarily kind-hearted, naturally believing that Tu Su Qing Li is innocent, and that she was merely framed before.”
“Huh.” Baili Jun Yi mockingly smiled, “Such a princess is really rare.” Step Linglong in the great Yue country by all the favor, father is more has the real power of the prince, since small often in and out of the palace, will a lot of real princess of the royal family are stepped on the bottom of the foot, such a person can be pure white and flawless?
“What about Prince Yi, what did he say?”
“He only said that he would let me give him justice, but nothing else. The interesting thing is Tu Su Qing Yun, he has not been arguing or confessing to anything, only saying that he is at my disposal, as if he doesn’t care at all about Tu Su Qing Li’s life or death.”
Shen Ninghua was a bit puzzled, “Tu Su Qingli is his first daughter, moreover, he still wants her to have a career in the palace, so how could he not be in a hurry at all?”
“Either the disguise is so deep that even I didn’t see it coming, or he has some other backstory.”
“Backstabbing? Could it be that there are other women in the Tusu family who are better trained than Tusu Qingli?”
Another woman? Baili Jun Yi raised the tip of his eyebrow and thought of a piece of news, “I really let you hit the nail on the head, news came from below that Tu Su Qing Yun had someone go to Jiangnan to pick up his second daughter.”
Shen Ninghua froze, then revealed a look that seemed like a smile, “It seems that the Emperor is really blessed with a lot of sex, this one after another, I wonder if the Great Yue Kingdom will send any more princesses over if Bu Linglong fails.”
Baili Jun Yi fiercely pulled her into his arms and scratched at her itchy flesh, “Mother, do you know what the crime of making fun of husband is?” These days he can’t come over to Kun Yu Palace in the open, and at night he has to stay alone in the back bedchamber, he is suffocating, and now he catches the opportunity to take advantage of it in a hurry.
Shen Ninghua laughed out loud and hastily struggled to get up, but she was pressed into Baili Junyi’s arms with a deadly grip, and could only beg for forgiveness, “I’m wrong, I know I’m wrong.”
“It’s not good enough to know you’re wrong, tell me how to make it up to my husband?”
“What kind of compensation do you want?” Shen Ninghua glanced at him, tears coming out of her eyes as she laughed.
This one glance of Gu Pan Shen Fei, rippling light, see the Baili Jun Yi heart a hot, “First say two good to hear?”
“Ah, haha, Jun Yi, don’t make a scene …” Shen Ninghua leaned against Baili Jun Yi’s chest, panting slightly and begging for mercy, grasping his hand to prevent him from continuing to tickle himself.
“No, for my husband is very dissatisfied …”
“Your Majesty … husband … I was wrong …”
“Come on, let’s go discuss, discuss …”
