Chapter 528 You Are So Ignorant
He Shu did not answer, but asked back.
"If someone attempts to take Madam Ning's beloved son away, will the Imperial Concubine be on guard?"
Mu Yan acted pretentiously and righteously.
"Not on guard."
"Because I don't believe there are such evil people in the world. I am not one, so I don't believe it."
"As for the historical records saying that the mother was killed and the child was taken away, I don't know whether it is true or not, so I have no way to judge."
He Shu analyzed it in a serious manner.
"Young Master Ning is a little older, so it may be difficult to plan against him; Young Master Ning is young, and is just the right age for Shan Zhi."
Mu Yan's pupils dimmed instantly.
"What do you mean by this?"
He Shu was determined and answered calmly.
"Since the Imperial Concubine has agreed, I will follow the example of the ancients and ask Sister Zhong to see if the Imperial Concubine is really defenseless."
Just hearing this, Mu Yan was furious.
"Why do you touch my Feng'er, and why do you hurt my sister?"
He Shu's words were full of thorns and she responded with cold remarks.
"Your Highness, don't you believe that there are such evil people in the world? I am just talking, but I have no action. Just like the historical records, words are not enough to prove anything."
"Strange, why does the Imperial Concubine take it so seriously?"
"Just a few words, can you believe that there are evil people in the world?"
Zhong Su Luo couldn't stand it anymore and spoke out to stop them.
"Sister He, have you had enough of the trouble? Stop being rude."
"It's all my fault. You insist on blaming it on Sister Yi. Doesn't that make me feel even more guilty?"
"If you are angry, feel free to attack me. It is just a small matter. I am willing to bear it without complaint."
Faced with Sister Zhong, He Shu was at a loss and felt helpless.
"But this is not your fault at all."
Zhong Su Luo is deeply trapped in the situation and cannot extricate herself.
"How come it's not my fault? How can you not understand?"
He Shu didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"You are unreasonable."
Zhong Suluo is particularly righteous in protecting Mu Yan.
"Okay, okay, if you have anything to say, you can blame me when we get back to the palace. Don't put Sister Yi in a difficult position."
No matter how He Shu persuades her, Zhong Suluo may come to her senses. Mu Yan comes up with a plan and asks Chuchu.
"Could it be that Sister He actually blames me for something else?"
Zhong Suluo was stunned and confused when she heard this.
"Ah? Really?"
"What else?"
Mu Yan lowered her eyes, showing a trace of pity that made me feel pity for her.
"Last year, when I was promoted to Imperial Consort, I promised to speak well of the Emperor and ask him to bestow honor upon us three sisters so that we can share the joy of being promoted together."
"To this day, it has not been accomplished. Sister He has been relegated to the position of Xiuyuan for many years. I am afraid that she has a deep resentment towards me."
"Sister Zhong is the emperor's first wife. She was originally the principal wife, but now she has been relegated to the position of a concubine. It is even more regrettable to talk about it."
She held Zhong Suluo's hand tightly, staring at her with a look of innocence and endless servility.
"Sister Zhong, tell me the truth. Do you hate me too?"
Zhong Suluo was deeply troubled, filled with endless pity and even greater self-blame.
"Sister Yi, you worry too much."
"You have no right to decide my position, so why should I hate you? Whether it's my first wife or my concubine, as long as the emperor is happy and content, I will be satisfied."
She glared at He Shu and stood on Mu Yan's side without hesitation.
"Sister He, you are so ignorant. Just because the outcome is uncertain, do you think Sister Yi doesn't put in any effort? Behind the scenes, when you can't see, she has been trying her best to win honor for us sisters. You are so ignorant, how can you make such a reckless comment?"
He Shu remained indifferent and remained unmoved.
"This kind of promise is something I will forget after hearing it casually. Please don't make random assumptions and deliberately sow discord between us sisters, Your Majesty."
Mu Yan's every move and gesture showed that she felt extremely aggrieved.
"I really tried my best to persuade you, my throat is dry and my lips are parched. If Sister He doesn't believe me, you can go ask the emperor."
He Shu saw through it at a glance, and pointed it out without mercy.
"There was a fight in the harem, and they went to the Disheng Palace to stir up trouble. I am not stupid, and I would not cause the emperor's wrath for the sake of the imperial concubine."
Mu Yan covered her lips and tried hard to suppress her grief.
"No matter what I say, you insist on believing that I have ulterior motives."
Zhong Su Luo hurriedly reached out and comforted her again and again.
He Shu looked at it casually and showed no concern.
"Does the Imperial Concubine have any other instructions? If not, we two will take our leave."
At this time, the palace servant reported: "Young Master Ning wants to see you."
Thinking about what He Shu said, Mu Yan was cautious and on guard.
Taking advantage of the steps of pain and wanting to cry, she pretended to be extremely sad and wanted to sob alone, reasonably and send them away.
"Okay, then I'll see you off, two sisters."
He Shu was in high spirits and refused to leave her seat.
"Young Master Ning came to the palace, and the concubines and I didn't even get to see him, but the Imperial Concubine was in a hurry to send him away. What's her intention?"
The meaning of these words was clear. Mu Yan bit her back teeth, and there was an unconscious clattering sound between her teeth.
"Didn't you say you wanted to resign?"
He Shu smiled leisurely and picked up the teacup slowly.
"I have changed my mind. It won't be too late to leave after seeing him once."
"Does the Imperial Concubine insist on driving him away?"
Realizing the unusual sound of his teeth, Mu Yan relaxed his strength slightly and instead clenched his fists in his sleeves in anger.
"I was saying goodbye respectfully, not driving you away? Sister He, please don't misinterpret my meaning, okay?"
He Shu took a sip of tea and sat still in the inlaid chair.
"Your Majesty is extremely noble. I dare not ask you to see me off respectfully."
Hearing the sarcasm, Mu Yan was filled with rage.
Compared with her, He Shu was particularly happy.
"Please ask the Imperial Concubine for permission. Can the three of us sisters meet him together?"
Fearing that Fengzhe might make a mistake, Mu Yan had no time to act and was focused on driving the guest away.
"That child is shy. If we meet suddenly, I'm afraid he'll cry."
Zhong Su Luo shared the same feeling.
"My child is the same. He can't stand strangers."
After just a sigh, she urged He Shu.
"Sister He, let's go so as not to scare Master Ning."
He Shu ignored Zhong Suluo's words and focused on dealing with Mu Yan.
"Why would the Imperial Concubine lie? I have met him at palace banquets several times. Young Master Ning is talkative and has never cried."
"Could it be that the Imperial Concubine is worried that I will take this opportunity to lure you into a trap and take away your beloved nephew?"
Mu Yan was extremely confused and found it difficult to justify herself for a while.
"I've already said it, I don't believe there is evil in the world."
He Shu is proud and confident, with a charming smile.
"Then be open and meet."
After she finished speaking, she gave an order.
"Someone, please invite Master Ning into the palace."
Zhong Su Luo corrected seriously.
"How dare you overstep your authority in Sister Yi's palace? Shut up now."
He Shu changed her words as she wished.
"Then please, Madam Concubine, allow Young Master Ning to enter the palace."
Mu Yan was extremely angry.
"pass."
Xianglu understood and whispered to Ning Fengzhe that after entering the hall, there was no need to rush to perform the rituals and he could just cry.
Ning Fengzhe was confused and puzzled.
"Why are you crying?"
Xianglu lowered her voice and politely refused to answer.
"The eldest son is pure and flawless, and it is not appropriate for him to be tainted by the dirty side of the harem. Please forgive me for not telling you."
She gestured for invitation.
"The Queen has summoned you to see me. Young Master, I'm afraid it would be disrespectful for you to be late. Please enter the palace quickly."
Ning Fengzhe walked into the main hall with doubts, and saw three people sitting on the side. He immediately guessed what happened...
