Before Su Qingyu left Weiyang Palace, she heard someone calling her from behind.
"Princess Ling, please wait a moment!"
Su Qingyu and Mingyue stopped in place when they heard the sound and watched the maid in charge beside the queen trotting towards them.
"Princess Ling, the queen asked me to give this to you."
Su Qingyu took the small box from the palace maid's hand suspiciously. After opening it, she found that the jade bracelet she had just returned to the queen was lying quietly inside.
"This is......"
"The Queen asked my slave to bring you a message: The Queen said that the princess deserves this."
Su Qingyu held the box and thought for a moment before she opened her mouth and said, "Please help me bring a message to the empress."
The palace maid listened carefully and took Su Qingyu's instructions into her heart before leaving.
Different from Su Qingyu's unexpected but calm mood, Lu Yuncheng and the Queen Mother were furious in Cikang Palace.
"This bastard!"
The Queen Mother was almost furious: "The Ai family should not have saved him in the first place, they should have strangled him to death with their own hands!"
Lu Liusheng was afraid that the Queen Mother would get angry and cause an old illness to relapse, so he hurried over to give her some relief.
"Queen Mother, please calm down! Princess Ling will be back soon. If she finds out that you are angry like this, you will be in trouble."
"The princess is so smart, she can definitely guess why you are angry."
Knowing that his persuasion would have no effect, Luliu helped Su Qingyu out of desperation.
Sure enough, after hearing Su Qingyu's name, the Queen Mother finally snorted and sat back down.
But this doesn't mean that she has really calmed down her anger.
Especially when she saw that Lu Yuncheng didn't think of a way to save Su Qingyu, she became furious.
"What about you? Didn't you think of a way to save her?"
"The ugly girl will willingly take this poison, but it's all for you. You can't really just watch her die, right?"
"Don't worry, Imperial Grandmother, even if I risk my grandson's life, I will still get the antidote for her!"
The Queen Mother sneered, "Ugly girl, I took this poison just to save your life, to prevent you from being influenced by your cheap father, and to still be the purest version of you. Now I'm fine, In order to get the antidote, you actually had to risk your life?"
"With such a stupid head like you, how did the Ai family think that you were different from the other little brats in the first place?"
"Be smart! Don't do things head-on, be smart, do you understand?"
Lu Yuncheng lowered his eyes humbly and said, "Please ask Grandma Huang for advice."
The Queen Mother gave him a roll of her eyes: "Then think about it, do you have the guts to stand on the opposite side of him?"
Lu Yuncheng did not hesitate: "My grandson just wants to get the antidote to Qingyu. As for where to stand, my grandson knows exactly."
Just because he knew that even if he went head-to-head with Emperor Ming, the possibility of getting the antidote was very small, he slowly planned to use his last trump card to get the antidote.
Now, with the help of the Queen Mother, Lu Yuncheng's heart was filled with guilt while feeling happy.
The Queen Mother had just recovered from a serious illness, but there were also incidents of poisoning and assassination one after another. Her body had not recovered yet, and she had to work hard because of their affairs...
The Queen Mother could see through Lu Yuncheng's thoughts at a glance and choked out angrily: "The Ai family did this all because of the ugly girl!"
"Don't be like your cheap dad, rushing to put money on your face."
"The ugly girl is a good child, and the Ai family will be her backing from now on. If you dare to bully her, the Ai family will be the first to spare you!"
Lu Yuncheng stood up immediately: "My grandson doesn't dare."
Lu Yuncheng didn't know what tricks the Queen Mother had to outwit her, but he knew that although the Queen Mother was old, she would never speak out about things she was unsure of.
"This ugly girl is not only ugly, but also stupid!"
When she thought of Su Qingyu's current situation, the Queen Mother felt anxious and angry, and even more felt sorry for her walking alone.
"Grandma! It's not a good habit to speak ill of people behind their backs!"
The Queen Mother had just finished chanting when Su Qingyu's voice appeared outside the door.
She glanced at the grandma guarding the door very calmly, and felt slightly at ease when she saw the grandma shaking her head gently.
"Ai Jia was right!"
The Queen Mother's eyes were filled with distress, but she adjusted her emotions as soon as she saw Su Qingyu.
Turning around, she saw that Lu Yuncheng's face had also changed into a gentle and well-behaved expression, and she reluctantly snorted.
It can be said that she is barely worthy of the ugly girl.
Su Qingyu and Lu Yuncheng stayed in the Queen Mother's Cikang Palace until the afternoon before leaving.
Along with Su Qingyu and his wife, they left with a lot of gifts from the Queen Mother.
After Emperor Ming heard about this, of course he would not be left behind, so he also asked several boxes of rewards to be delivered to the gate of the palace.
The queen came to make up for it later. The couple obviously came empty-handed, but now they laughed out loud when they looked at the boxes full of boxes on the floor.
"Lu Yuncheng, are we going to get rich?"
The bright moon on the side looked up at the sky, silently calculating in her heart whether she should tell her master the truth that the prince was very rich, very rich, and extremely rich, so that she would not be easily coaxed by the prince in the future.
Lu Yuncheng raised his hand and rubbed the top of her head gently: "These are all yours!"
Su Qingyu's eyes lit up instantly: "Don't go back on your word!"
"I will never regret it."
"Ming Yue, go and ask people to move all these things to our Mu Yuxuan!"
Mingyue went to call someone, but Qingfeng stayed there and waited.
Su Qingyu looked up at the sky and said with a smile: "It's still early, can you go somewhere with me?"
"Where do you want to go?"
"Outside the city."
During the Chinese New Year, Su Qingyu wanted to go outside the city. Apart from visiting the victims who were temporarily living in the marching tents outside the city, Lu Yuncheng could not think of a second reason.
Wrapping her cloak more tightly, Lu Yuncheng's eyebrows softened: "Okay, it's up to you."
The carriage rocked slowly on the bluestone, and from time to time, laughter and the occasional sound of firecrackers could be heard on the street.
Such smoke and fire made Su Qingyu willing to protect it.
On the way, she briefly told what happened in Weiyang Palace today.
"You said that when the Queen gave me the token representing the Tutor's Mansion, did she intend to bet on you?"
"Betting?"
Su Qingyu walked up to Lu Yuncheng and looked up at him with extremely serious eyes.
"Now that your legs and feet are healed, everyone will probably agree that you will compete for the heir apparent. It's not surprising that the Queen has this idea."
It was about the queen, but Su Qingyu really wanted to know Lu Yuncheng's answer.
She urgently knew where her and Lu Yuncheng's future lay.
"Do you want me to fight for the reserve?"
Lu Yuncheng looked at the woman in front of him steadily and asked the question without answering.
Su Qingyu shook her head: "This is not a matter of fighting for reserves or not, but where is your original intention? Where is the starting point of your efforts."
Therefore, what she cares about is not where he has climbed to, but whether he can stick to his true heart?
How can such a small woman hide such a huge light that can instantly illuminate people in her body?
"Qingyu, your original intention is to help the world by hanging a pot, cure diseases and save people. Although my original intention is different from yours, we reach the same goal through different paths."
Therefore, in their eyes, what matters is never where you are, but how bright you can use your position to shine.
The two looked at each other speechlessly, and then with a tacit understanding, they did not ask any more questions, but held each other's hands and smiled at each other.
