Chapter 312 Yu Sujin is threatened
Yu Sujin shuddered at the sound of her words. She timidly walked over and bowed, "Hello, Your Majesty."
He raised his hand and touched his cheek again, then lowered his head and said, "Yes... Your Majesty didn't hit anyone."
Several concubines exchanged glances.
It seems that no matter how favored she is, it is useless. The status is there, and Concubine Yu still has to bow her head.
He didn't even dare to admit it when he was beaten!
Zheng Zhuyi sneered: "You just pretend to be weak!"
Glancing at everyone, she said, "Everyone, leave. I have a few words of advice to say to Concubine Yu."
Yu Sujin was startled and looked at those people pleadingly.
A concubine smiled tentatively at Zheng Zhuyi, "Noble Concubine, it's so lively here with so many people around. Can we wait here? If you have anything to say, go into the room with Concubine Yu first. After you're done, come out and we can have some tea and chat together."
This is considered to be helping Yu Sujin.
The others also joined in with a smile, all wanting to be peacemakers.
Yu Sujin nodded to them gratefully.
I also pleaded, "That's right, sister, you are right. I will ask someone to take some money to the kitchen to order a few dishes. How about inviting everyone to have a drink and chat tonight?"
Zheng Zhuyi held the handkerchief in her white hands and tied it into a flower shape. The nail polish on her nails was bright red and dazzling.
Ao Ran smiled and said, "I am not here to drink. I have a few important things to say to Concubine Yu. If you want to drink and talk all night, I will not say anything. I will come another day."
She stood up and was about to leave.
Everyone was stunned.
I didn't expect that after making such a fuss, she would leave so easily?
She walked to the door, turned around, pointed at Yu Sujin, and nodded gently in the air.
"Don't you, Concubine Yu, want to hear about Qing Pei? That's fine. The two green peonies in front of her window died two days ago. She herself doesn't know what happened, but I know!"
After saying that, he lifted the curtain and left.
"and many more!"
Yu Sujin's face turned cold and she called out to Zheng Zhuyi.
"Why, Concubine Yu changed her mind?"
Zheng Zhuyi stepped out of the door with one foot, and there was a sense of pride in her laughter.
Yu Sujin bowed her head and apologized to the concubines: "Forgive my rudeness. I have to ask you to come back another day to chat. I will prepare a sumptuous meal and wine to apologize to you sisters."
Several people stood up quickly: "What are you talking about? If you are busy, let's get together another day."
One of the more astute ones noticed the wooden carvings on the table and said, "Is this the work of Xiaohui from Concubine Zhao's palace? It's really beautiful. Can you lend it to me to enjoy for a few days? Don't worry, my lord, I will definitely not damage it. I will also ask Xiaohui for a few more beautiful ones."
It seems like just chatting.
In fact, he wanted to find an excuse to ask whether he needed her to go to Chunxi Palace to report the news and ask Feiwan for help.
Yu Sujin smiled gratefully, but the smile was a little forced. "If you like it, just take it. I'll ask Xiaohui for it another day. She's busy serving Concubine Zhao and may not be available recently. Could you please wait a few days?"
That is to say, she doesn't need to go now.
The concubine understood, looked at Zheng Zhuyi's back worriedly, and gave Yu Sujin a helpless smile.
"Sisters, please go back. Allow me to invite the noble concubine in."
Yu Sujin said apologetically.
She also asked her maid to pack some new tea for a few people to take away.
Naturally, a few people refused to take it.
Then he said goodbye.
Zheng Zhuyi turned around and went back to the hall to sit down, asked someone to close the door, and sent the maids to guard outside.
Yu Sujin's maid was a little worried, and Yu Sujin secretly shook her head at her.
He really closed the door and stayed alone in the room facing Zheng Zhuyi.
"Please enlighten me, Your Highness." Yu Sujin bowed solemnly. "How do you know the maiden name of my concubine? The green peony has withered, so how did you know it?"
Qingpei is the name of Yu Sujin's biological mother.
Only a few people in the Yu Mansion know about it, and outsiders certainly cannot find out easily.
How can you casually tell outsiders the maiden names of the women in the harem?
Even the relatives and friends who visited him frequently only knew that Minister Yu had a concubine named Zhao, who gave birth to a second daughter born out of wedlock.
Zheng Zhuyi could call out Aunt Zhao's name.
That's all.
But there are two precious chrysanthemums "Green Peony" in front of Aunt Zhao's window. They were a birthday gift given to his concubine by Minister Yu one year. When they bloom, they are as green as jade and crystal clear. Aunt Zhao treasures them very much.
A while ago, the flower died inexplicably, and no one could figure out why. When the Yu family sent a letter to Yu Sujin, they also included a letter from Aunt Zhao to her daughter. In the letter, Aunt Zhao talked about this matter and was very distressed. She also said that if Susu was still at home, taking care of the flowers for her, maybe the flower would not have died.
When Yu Sujin read the letter, she felt that it was a bad omen.
When she replied, she told her aunt that when she had the chance, she would get more precious flowers to send home that would be more beautiful than the green peony.
It's just to appease my aunt.
She has been busy lately and doesn't know when she will have the chance to go to the Imperial Flower Room to choose varieties.
I had kept this matter to myself.
When Zheng Zhuyi suddenly mentioned it at this time, the vague feeling of uneasiness rose again.
Looking at Zheng Zhuyi carefully and vigilantly, Yu Sujin did not miss any slight expression on the other's face.
But Zheng Zhuyi raised the corners of her lips.
He showed a smile that seemed to be poisoned.
The voice was low, but extremely oppressive.
"Why did those two ugly green flowers that looked like wild vegetables die? Of course, someone killed them by pouring boiling water on them."
Yu Sujin was shocked. "Impossible! Green Peony is being carefully cared for, how could they use boiling water to water it?"
Zheng Zhuyi raised her delicate willow-shaped eyebrows. "Can the person who takes care of the flowers really watch them all night? All I have to do is sneak into 'Green Cloud Courtyard' in the middle of the night, jump over the two flower walls, walk along the cobblestone path, and quietly walk to the window. I can succeed. The woman on duty in the south room is old and often dozes off. She slept soundly for most of the night. How could she have discovered it?"
Yu Sujin's expression became more and more shocked.
She could actually tell the layout of the concubine's courtyard and the maid on night duty!
Then Zheng Zhuyi continued, "Watering two flowers to death is nothing. Your aunt is favored and has her own small kitchen and tea room in the courtyard. If someone sneaks in at night and puts something in your food or drinks, wouldn't that be very interesting?"
"Noble Concubine Zheng!"
Yu Sujin's face was distorted with nervousness.
Her voice trembled as she spoke, "Although you sisters don't get along with us, you dared to stand up for your sister in front of His Majesty. I have always admired your courage and think you are an outstanding woman. But you...how could you do such a vicious thing? Don't bring disaster to your family, you..."
"The disaster won't affect my family? Haha!"
Zheng Zhuyi sneered.
"Which woman in our palace isn't connected to her family? When one woman prospers, her family rises to prominence, while when one falls, her family suffers. You don't really think our quarrels are limited to us, do you? You're capable of winning favor and rising three levels, but I have the power to tear you apart from your family. Who do you think is more powerful, us two?"
She paced slowly, looking at Yu Sujin like a cat playing with a mouse.
Asked: "Between your aunt and your elder sister, who do you choose, Susu?"
