Xue Lin looked at Hong Ling with a pale face and stammered, "Miss Hong Ling, why … why does the Empress want to see Shu Fei?"
"How do I know? Is there something wrong in the palace recently?" Hong Ling frowned as she countered, "I've already told you, there's nothing that Her Ladyship can't do. If you don't invite Shu Fei over and Her Ladyship personally returns to the palace, who would dare stop her?"
Who wants to go to the palace to stop her?
Xue Lin really didn't know what to do. He turned to look at Wu Chong, "What should we do?"
Wu Chong said expressionlessly, "Either invite Shu Fei or let the Empress return to the palace. Which one do you think can make the Emperor's punishment lighter?"
"…" Xue Lin thought for a moment, "Let's go back and invite Shu Fei."
They owed so many whips and didn't know if they could survive after all of them added together. The Emperor wasn't in the palace right now and had ordered that the Empress couldn't know of this matter. If the Empress found out, their fates would be very miserable.
Why did the Empress suddenly want to see Hu Yue 'er? Did she just remember to clean up this Shu Fei who was favored in the palace? The Empress should be clear in her heart. How could the Emperor spoil others?
No matter how resentful Xue Lin was, he still had to invite Hu Yue 'er to Chengde Villa.
He only hoped that Hu Yue 'er would not talk nonsense after arriving at Chengde Villa.
In the Daohua Courtyard, Pei Shi was anxious with Ye Zhen.
"What do you want to see that Shu Fei? She had a miscarriage. You let her come here and let people know that they will talk about you again. Besides, what's there to see? Isn't she just here to show off? Yao Yao, listen to your mother … "Pei Shi really wanted to slap her mouth now. She shouldn't have mentioned Shu Fei just now.
Ye Zhen smiled and said, "Then let's see what she can show off."
What was there for Hu Yue 'er to show off in front of her? Some things were well known. Ye Zhen was just curious about how Hu Yue' er revealed the news that she wanted to go to Chengde Villa. In the eyes of many people, she and Hu Yue 'er must be incompatible like fire and water, unable to tolerate each other.
Oh, maybe some people thought that Hu Yue 'er's miscarriage should be related to her. Now Hu Yue' er came to see her for revenge?
The more Ye Zhen thought about it, the more she wanted to see Hu Yue 'er.
Pei shi thought to herself that if Hu Yue 'er came, she would definitely keep an eye on her. If she found out that Hu Yue' er dared to speak nonsense, she would go up and pinch her so that she wouldn't say anything that would hurt Yao Yao.
Xue Lin had originally thought that Pei shi would be able to persuade the Empress, but who knew that not only did she not succeed, it made the Empress want to see Hu Yue 'er even more. He could only personally go to Jingdou to deliver the news.
Tang Zhen almost jumped up when he heard about it, "Why does the Empress want to see Honored Consort Shu? Who told Her Ladyship this news? Could it be … Madam Lu? "
"I'm afraid that Lu Furen also accidentally said it. Who would have thought that niangniang would actually want to see Shu Fei?" Xue Lin said helplessly.
"Then the Empress knows that the Emperor …" Tang Zhen said worriedly.
Xue Lin said, "I don't think so."
"What should I do? We must not let the Empress know." Tang Zhen said sternly.
"Yes, Marquis." Xue Lin was about to cry. He couldn't cover Hu Yue 'er's mouth. What if Hu Yue' er said it?
Tang Zhen also knew that Xue Lin couldn't stop it too much. He could only go to Honored Consort Shu and tell her a few words first.
…
…
In Xiuhe Palace, Hu Yue 'er was leaning on the soft couch by the window. The news that she wanted to see Lu Yaoyao had been released for several days, but there had been no news so far. She didn't know if it could reach Chengde Villa. What if it was stopped?
If Lu Yaoyao knew that she wanted to pay her respects, she should meet her, right?
After staying in Chengde Villa for so long, Lu Yaoyao must be uneasy and want to know if the Emperor really dotes on other concubines. If it were her, no matter how deep her love for the Emperor was, she would have doubts in her heart.
"Niangniang, Marquis Jingning asks to see you." Miao Ling came in and glanced at Hu Yue 'er lightly. She already knew what kind of news Hu Yue' er asked Sumei to spread. She thought Hu Yue 'er was smart before.
What a pity …
Hu Yue 'er's eyes lit up slightly. "Marquis Jingning wants to see ben gong?"
Miao Ling lightly said, "Yes, niangniang."
"Invite Marquis Jingning to the side hall." Hu Yue 'er thought that the arrival of Marquis Jingning must have something to do with Chengde Villa. Although there was no news from before, she knew that the Emperor was definitely not in the palace at this time and had already gone to propose marriage to the Princess of Qi.
"Niangniang …" Miao Ling frowned and looked at Hu Yue 'er, wondering if she should say a few words. Some things were done and there was no turning back.
Hu Yue 'er looked back at her with a smile, as if she already knew what Miao Ling wanted to say. "What's the matter?"
Miao Ling gently shook her head. Forget it. Honored Consort Shu could reach this point in the palace, which proved that she was not a stupid person. She knew very well what she was doing.
"Then let's go see Marquis Jingning." Hu Yue 'er said with a smile and stood up to go to the side hall.
Although everyone knew that she had a miscarriage and needed to take care of her body, those who knew the truth also knew that she did not have a miscarriage. She believed that Marquis Jingning was the one who knew the truth, otherwise he would not come to her at this time.
When she came to the side hall, Hu Yue 'er saw the slender and handsome figure with his back to her. It turned out that this was the famous Marquis Jingning. Sure enough, he was a talented person.
"Marquis Jingning, why are you looking for ben gong?" Hu Yue 'er walked in with a gentle smile on her face.
Tang Zhen raised his eyes slightly and cupped his hands in greeting. "Greetings to Honored Consort Shu."
"No need for formalities." Hu Yue 'er said. She was about to say a few words when she heard Tang Zhen coldly speak.
"I heard that niangniang wants to go to Chengde Villa?" Tang Zhen asked lightly.
Hu Yue 'er smiled. "Ben gong has never said that. I don't know where Marquis Jingning heard it from?"
Tang Zhen looked up at her. "Honored Consort Shu, regardless of whether you want to see the Empress or not, this minister just wants you to know that the Emperor doesn't want anyone to disturb the Empress. There are some things that I hope the Empress doesn't do wrong."
"Marquis Jingning, are you here to blame ben gong today?" Hu Yue 'er asked with a smile that wasn't a smile.
Tang Zhen said, "This minister doesn't dare. I just hope that the Empress won't be used by others. Even if the Empress doesn't cherish herself today, you have to think for the Hu family."
Hu Yue 'er's face sank. "Marquis Jingning, you are presumptuous!"
"The Empress wants to see you. Tomorrow morning, this minister will come to pick you up to Chengde Villa. I believe that Honored Consort Shu knows what to say and what not to say to the Empress." Tang Zhen looked at Honored Consort Shu coldly. "If there is anything wrong with the Empress, there is no need to wait for the Emperor to come back. This minister will not sit idly by."
