Chapter 206: Not only shallow but also extremely deep
She turned around and looked at Concubine Yin, whose eyes were slightly red. When she was telling the story just now, she always had an expression that made her feel strange, but she couldn't figure out why.
"What's wrong?" Concubine Yin asked when she saw her turning around.
"Mother Concubine" Su Qingyi turned around, looked at her, and asked: "Why did Mother Concubine adopt the Seventh Master?"
Concubine Yin was suffocated. She pursed her lips subconsciously, frowned slightly, and her eyes turned red again. "He was born in the cold palace. The princes and princesses in the palace bullied him. Every time they saw him in embarrassment, he had a cold expression on his face."
I couldn't help but feel sad that I couldn't do anything about the little princess back then, so I just thought that if I could make him live a better life, it would be considered as compensation for her."
"Make up?" Su Qingyi frowned in confusion.
Realizing Su Qingyi's doubts, Concubine Yin wiped away her tears with a panicked look in her eyes, "I have always felt guilty for not being able to help Chen'er's mother-in-law..."
Su Qingyi was silent for a moment, nodded slowly, and saluted: "My dear, please leave."
Outside the palace, the housekeeper saw Su Qingyi and Junjie coming and hurriedly greeted them, "Princess, the prince asked me to take you back to the palace."
Su Qingyi raised her eyebrows slightly, "Oh? Why did I send you here myself?"
The housekeeper smiled awkwardly and said, "Isn't this... I heard that you took Master Jiu's jade chariot to enter the palace?"
Su Qingyi couldn't help laughing. She knew that Dugu Chen must be jealous.
After getting on the carriage, seeing Yingjie already inside, Su Qingyi sat down, leaned on the cushions, and slowly closed her eyes.
The carriage started to move. After a long silence, Su Qingyi said calmly: "Let someone check what happened to the little princess and the seventh grandma and concubine back then."
"We've already sent people to check," Yingjie nodded and said.
Su Qingyi slowly opened her eyes and saw Yingjie beside her who looked like a direct immortal but was as gentle as jade. She felt very happy. It was not in vain that she had risked her life to break through the three passes of Wushan. No wonder everyone in the world said that she was the best.
The outstanding ones win the world
"When did you suspect it?" Su Qingyi asked
Yingjie smiled slightly and said: "Actually, I just wanted the prince to know the truth back then, and I didn't think too much about it."
Su Qingyi nodded and suddenly sneered, "The water in the harem is no shallower than that in the temple."
"More than shallow, it can be said to be extremely deep." Yingjie looked at her, "At least you can tell what is right and what is wrong in the temple, but in the harem it is difficult to distinguish between black and white. With the fetters of emotions, it is difficult to wake up, and even more so.
"Difficult to escape"
Su Qingyi lowered her eyes. She actually didn't want to know the answer, because even she didn't know how to face the truth. Just like Cui Oriole's death, that day in Wushan, she heard Yingjie say that Cui Oriole's death was related to Su Dieyi.
At that time, even though she was not the real Su Qingyi and had no real feelings for Su Dieyi, it was still difficult to accept it.
After all, she is a mother-like existence, such a gentle and quiet person, Su Qingyi's only relative...
But the more difficult it is to accept and the more painful it is, the more complete the decision will be when you want to cut it off.
Now Concubine Yin is the most important chess piece in determining the outcome. Even if she knows the truth, she can't alert the snake.
"With Concubine Yin's help, we are only one step away," Yingjie said calmly.
Su Qingyi frowned slightly, thoughtfully, "Well, but Duguhong is right. Now that he has a lot of troops and the left prime minister as his backing, if he is really pushed back, there will be no way to deal with it."
Yingjie chuckled, "So what if he holds a lot of troops? How can a huge army enter the capital in a day or two? The people who protect the lifeline of the capital are the Forbidden Army in the hands of General Su, and the current leader of the Forbidden Army is Qing Ye's former deputy general Qing Hu.
