Concubine Su suddenly said: "Go down first and let me think about it again."
"Yes, I will leave first." He glanced at the imperial concubine quietly before retreating.
Concubine Su didn't know that everyone in the palace had been replaced by their people.
At this time, shortly after the Su family's retainers exited, another man in a Chinese robe quietly entered the house.
Through the translucent silk screen, he could vaguely see Concubine Su lazily leaning on the soft couch with her eyes closed to relax.
Incense was lit in the room, which made her a little drowsy. The days in the palace were too boring, and Nangong Rui would send clothes and jewelry to her on time.
In addition to living in a different place, Concubine Su's living expenses are better than in the palace. This can be regarded as the prince making up for his debt to her.
If the Su family hadn't gradually expanded and stretched their hands too far, Nangong Nan would still have turned a blind eye to them for the sake of General Su.
But Huo's lesson gave the emperor a blow. He had to take precautions early. The best way was to send Concubine Su out of the capital to make them afraid.
However, the Su family only stayed dormant for a few years.
The man did not enter the back room directly, but went around the screen to change the incense in the incense burner.
Suddenly, Concubine Su heard the movement outside the screen. When she walked out anxiously, she was stunned and murmured: "Why is it you?"
"Qing'er, long time no see, you miss your second brother."
The person who came was Su Rui, the adopted son of General Su. He was adopted by the Su family since he was a child. He was like a brother and sister to the Su family's brothers and sisters.
Concubine Su had almost no good looks for him, she turned around and sat down majestically on the soft couch, and said coldly: "Eldest brother asked you to come, and because of the fact that the Crown Princess is pregnant, I have been The emperor kicked out the palace, and in all these years, he never once thought of how he could help you by asking me to go back."
Concubine Su said this with obvious resentment. Until now, she herself didn't know where this resentment came from.
If she had married Su Rui back then, wouldn't she have become so utilitarian? She would have been a good wife and mother.
It's a pity that no matter how much you think about it, things are different and people are different.
"Qing'er, I've written you so many letters, but you haven't replied to any of them. Why? Do you still resent me?"
"You are worrying too much, I don't have the time."
Su Rui took another step closer and said, "You have to know that it was impossible for me to disobey my adoptive father in front of him."
Concubine Su said coldly: "You mean my father forced you to marry and have children."
"I have to obey my parents' orders and the matchmaker's words. I cannot disobey them. My adoptive father is my reborn parent. For the sake of the Su family's fortune, I am willing to sacrifice myself for my own sake." Su Rui spoke with great righteousness and stood up for the Su family in every way. Consider as a family.
Concubine Su was stunned for a moment. Indeed, after Su Rui married the businessman's daughter, she helped the Su family a lot. She said, "You go, go back and tell your eldest brother that I will find a solution for Rui'er. But Rui'er is also at loggerheads with me now."
"I don't know what kind of ecstasy the emperor and Nanwang poured into him. As soon as I mention Nasu's daughter as a concubine to him, he gets angry at me. He is no longer the son who listened to me before. …”
At this time, Su Rui suddenly stepped forward and hugged Concubine Su, and murmured: "Qing'er, ever since I learned that you were sent out of the palace by the emperor, I have been thinking about you every day. I know that I was wrong before. I was timid. I'm afraid that my adoptive father will be angry, because I cherish everything in the Su family too much."
Concubine Su did not expect that Su Rui would suddenly come forward to hug her. When she heard these words, her whole heart melted.
