Did this mean that their fate had yet to come?
On the other side of the palace, it was a different scene.
Xili Yuan was indeed a diligent and good emperor. He had only come to the harem three or four times in the ten days after the selection. This made Su Qi, who had originally thought that the emperor was a stallion, change her opinion of him. After all, he didn't want to marry so many wives.
On this day, Xili Yuan remained in the royal study. However, he was not alone in the royal study that night.
At this moment, the West Li Abyss was listening to his secret guard's report on the situation over the past few days. The temperature in the royal study was getting lower and lower. Even Wolf One, the captain of the secret guards, could not help but shiver.
"From what you're saying, Old Xiao has fallen in love with Ye Suqi?”There was not a trace of emotion on Xili Yuan's face. Even his tone was cold.
? Wolf One shook his head and said," I don't think so."”
"Oh?" The West Li Pool looked at Wolf One with wolf-like eyes.
Wolf One instantly felt as if he had been locked on, and his body stiffened, not daring to move at all.
"Speak." The Xili Pool retracted its gaze.
Only then did Wolf One relax slightly." I'm afraid that Prime Minister Xiao also suspects that Noble Su has been switched. That's why he's using the beauty trap."”
If that was all, why would Old Xiao stop her carriage at the palace gate? The Xili Pool narrowed its eyes and kept releasing cold air into the surroundings.
Who was Ye Suqi now? Even Old Xiao was unwilling to let her go. Or was she always hiding her strength in the past just to amaze the world with a single feat? Why was she so quiet after entering the palace?
At this moment, the West Li Yuan did not know that his curiosity was his fatal weakness. Curiosity was the first step to falling in love with someone.
Just when Wolf One thought that he would freeze to death, the cold air disappeared in an instant.
"Send someone to keep an eye on Ye Suqi." Xiliyuan immediately changed his words." No, there's no need. You may leave."
"Yes." Wolf disappeared from the room in an instant.
Xi Liyuan thought of Ye Suqi by the lake that day. It was not a disguise. She could not have known that he would be at sunrise Palace, but they had met by coincidence. He had invited her, or did someone tell on him?
That night, he did not sleep in the Xili Abyss either. As for why, only he knew.
Su Qi did not care about what was happening outside. She just wanted to live her own life. The more peaceful days she had, the fewer days she would have.
It was a pity that such a comfortable life was still broken by someone.
Su Qi was still the same as usual. She did not put on any rouge and only used a blue ribbon to tie her hair into a ponytail. She was wearing a simple and refreshing blue dress without any other decorations.
After breakfast, he was busy in his herbal field. There was a recliner beside the field. When he was tired, he would lie on the recliner for a while and bask in the sun. It was very comfortable.
At this moment, Cyanose ran over hurriedly." Master, Master…"
"What's wrong? If you have something to say, say it slowly." Su Qi quickly supported the panting cyanotic man.
"Noble Xin and Ling Changzai are here."”
"Oh? You can't wait anymore?" Su Qi said with a smile. She didn't show any strange emotions.
The cyanotic man looked at Suqi in confusion." Master, I'm afraid that you're here with ill intentions."”
"It's fine. We'll just go and meet them for a while.”Su Qi said as she walked towards the main hall.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Noble Xin sitting on the soft couch without any courtesy. On the other hand, Ling Changzai had only placed a stool under the soft couch and sat there obediently.
Su Qi saw this, but she smiled and said,""I'm really sorry to have kept you waiting.”
When Noble Xin saw Su Qi enter, he did not get up. He only glanced at her and drank his tea. On the other hand, Ling Changzai was busy greeting Su Qi.
After all, Noble Xin was of the same level as Su Qi, and she was also an old man in the palace. Su Qi bowed to her and sat down on the other side of the couch.
"Cyanosis. Let Noble Xin and Ling Changzai try those pastries.”Su Qi smiled and said to Zi Gan.
"Noble Su is indeed powerful, but I don't know why she hasn't gone out to meet her sisters these days.”Noble Xin looked at Su Qi's plain clothes and her beautiful face without makeup. It was unknown whether she looked down on her or was jealous.
Su Qi did not care about the ear-piercing tone in her voice and only said calmly,""I've always liked peace and quiet, and I don't like to walk around.”
"Elder sister, if my place was as quiet and elegant as elder sister's, even if I had to stay in the hall all day long, it would be good.”Ling Changzai interrupted with a smile.
Su Qi glanced at Ling Changzai. The deep meaning in her eyes was not seen by Noble Xin, but Ling Changzai could not help but stiffen.
"I haven't congratulated Ling Changzai yet. You've only been in the palace for a few days and you've already risen from beauty to Changzai.”Su Qi didn't want to speak like this, but it wasn't in her nature to passively receive attacks.
As expected, when he said this, Noble Xin looked at Ling Changzai with distrust.
At this moment, Luo Xue brought the pastries over. These pastries were made by Su Qi who had nothing to do and taught Luo Xue how to make them. Su Qi did not know how to do it herself and only gave ideas from the side. Luo Xue was very skillful and really made some delicious and special pastries.
Of course, Noble Xin did not know about this. She thought that it was the Emperor who had instructed her to do so. Then, she recalled how the Emperor had treated Suqi when she had just entered the palace. Her heart became even more restless." The pastries here are really exquisite."”
"Yeah, I've never seen it before.”Ling Changzai said happily.
Su Qi was very annoyed by this hypocritical conversation, but she couldn't show it. She only said,""It's just some ordinary pastries.”
Noble Xin didn't eat those pastries either. Perhaps he was afraid that there was something bad inside.
At this moment, the sound of an argument came from outside the house. Su Qi seemed to have heard Luo Shuang's cries.
"Cyanosis, what's going on outside?" Su Qi frowned slightly. It seemed like Noble Xin was up to something bad again.
"Master, it seems like Luoshuang and some girl are quarreling.”
Noble Xin smiled and immediately put it away."Let's go out and take a look. I don't know what happened.”
Su Qi did not take their methods to heart, so she nodded and left.
As soon as he went out, he saw five red handprints on Luo Shuang's face. Her eyes were also red from crying. She argued from time to time, while the servant girl opposite her looked like she was about to win.
Before Su Qi could speak, Noble Xin spoke first,""Spirit Child, what's going on? Why are you making a ruckus here?”
Seeing his master come out, the spirit hurriedly bowed and said,""Didn't master say that he was afraid of the cold, so this servant went to get this master's favorite rabbit fur cloak. I didn't expect this girl to dirty this cloak.”
"Noble Su, you are so rude. You dirtied the cloak that the emperor gave you. If the emperor blames you, you will be implicated.”Noble Xin seemed to be thinking for Su Qi, but the sarcasm in her eyes was not hidden at all.
Luo Shuang quickly knelt down in front of Su Qi." Master, please punish me."”
"Sister Xin, you are magnanimous. If this girl is angry, just send her away. Don't hurt your friendship with Sister Su.”Ling Changzai interjected.
Just as Zilan was about to say something, she was stopped by Suqi. Su Qi glanced at Ling Changzai and personally helped Luo Shuang up." Tell me, what happened?"”
Seeing that Su Qi did not take her words to heart, Noble Xin was about to say something when Ling Changzai shook his head at her.
" Master, I just came out of the kitchen and brewed a cup of tea for you when I bumped into this sister. I accidentally knocked over the tea…" Luo Shuang cried as she spoke.
Su Qi picked up Luo Shuang's hand and looked at it. There were a few blisters on her hand, and she was afraid that it was in great pain." Cyanosis. Go and apply the medicine for burns on Luo Shuang."”
"Noble Su, since your servant admitted that she dirtied my clothes, how do you plan to deal with her?”Seeing that Su Qi did not seem to have any intention of punishing that girl, Noble Xin spoke with a dark face.
Su Qi glanced at her but ignored her.
"Sister Su, it's not good to pamper this girl like this. I'm afraid that others will think that Sister Xin is inferior to a girl in your eyes." Ling Changzai said in a timely manner.”
When Noble Xin heard this, his expression turned even uglier. He said directly,"Men, slap this girl forty times and drag her to Xinzheku.”
As soon as he finished speaking, the spirit and a few servant girls came to pull Luo Shuang. Luo Shuang was so scared that her face immediately turned pale.
"Wait." Su Qi pulled Luo Shuang behind her." When did You Lan Palace allow you to cause such a ruckus? Noble Xin, Luo Shuang is my girl. Even if you want to punish her, it's not up to you."”
" You…" When Noble Xin heard this, he was even angrier and glared at Su Qi.
"Sister Su, how can you say that? This servant broke the rules. Sister Xin is already being kind.”Ling Changzai seemed to be trying to adjust himself, but he was thinking about something else.
"Today, I will punish this slave.”Noble Xin said fiercely.
Su Qi sneered. Seeing that Noble Xin refused to move aside, the others had no way to pull Luo Shuang away. For a moment, they were in a stalemate. No one could do anything to the other.
Suddenly, a eunuch's voice came from outside." The Emperor has arrived."”
Su Qi was startled. She did not know why the Emperor, whom she had never met, had come at this time. It was probably not a good thing to come at such a coincidence.
On the other hand, Noble Xin and Ling Changzai were surprised at first, then smiled faintly. In their eyes, the Emperor had not been here for so long, and he did not have any feelings for Su Qi. Now that he had come, it would be perfect for Su Qi to never be able to make a comeback.
Xili Yuan walked in. He had not come over these few days because he wanted to see Su Qi's reaction. He did not expect her to live more and more happily and comfortably, so he could not help but come to take a look.
Upon entering, he realized that the You Lan Palace was very lively. It turned out that Noble Xin was a restless person. It was likely that Ling Changzai was the same.
"ChenQie (servant) greets the emperor.”The group of people paid their respects one after another, and Su Qi felt very depressed.
