Chapter 285: Alliance Failed Again
Chapter 285: Alliance Failed Again
Yes, I do think so.
Su Rong was not worried that she would guess.
Because she originally thought that Shen Zhishu dragged her into this just to protect himself.
But what shocked her now was...it turned out that she was not coming for self-protection, but was here to take her life.
"You want me to die? Do you know that if you want to deal with me, you..."
"In terms of status and family power, I am indeed inferior to you. The only thing that can compare to you is that the emperor's heart is with me."
Are you trying to say that you are no match for her?
Shen Zhishu interrupted impatiently.
There is no need to keep repeating such questions.
But soon, the family she was so proud of would 'abandon' her.
"Your Majesty? You actually put your hope on a man, thinking that with him, you can defeat me?"
But Su Rong thought her answer was ridiculous.
How stupid a woman would be to put all her hopes on one man.
"Have you forgotten how special he treated me back then? He treated me better than you do now, but what happened? You actually believed him?"
Su Rong laughed so hard that tears came out.
It seemed like a mockery, but only she knew how uncomfortable these words made her feel. Not only what Shen Zhishu said, but even what she said herself, were like a knife, repeatedly scratching old scars.
"The Emperor has indeed treated me very well. No matter what, he loved me at the time. Didn't the Empress think so at the beginning? How could you believe that a man who loved you so deeply could change his mind so easily?"
Shen Zhishu certainly knew her true feelings for Yan Chu deep in her heart, so he smiled and said the most relaxing words to stimulate her.
"Perhaps the Empress still thinks that the Emperor was just temporarily fascinated by beauty, and he will regret it one day? So, like you, the Empress, I am willing to believe in the Emperor. He will protect me. No matter what happens, I still have the Emperor, so I am not afraid."
She just blindly trusted Yan Chu and regarded him as a backer, so what? She just pissed you off, so what?
Su Rong was so impatient that her back teeth were almost broken.
"Who do you think you are? Do you think you know me well? Do you think I'm the same as you? I tell you, Yan Chu is nothing in my eyes."
She couldn't get angry, because anger would only make Shen Zhishu think that she had guessed right again.
So she was pretending, sneering at her own cleverness.
"If not, that would be great. If the Queen is no longer obsessed with Your Majesty, then Your Majesty will be mine from now on."
Shen Zhishu smiled calmly.
"You alone? There are three thousand beauties in the harem. Do you think he will love you alone for decades? Don't dream."
When Su Rong heard her say this, she felt even more contemptuous.
But I felt a little flustered.
What if...what if...she was right?
"Then, Queen, are you willing to make a bet with me? If I can get the emperor's greatest favor in this life, be loved by him forever, and be remembered by him forever, then you... will disappear forever, okay?"
Since you are not from this era, why not disappear forever?
At that moment, Su Rong was so surprised that she was stunned for a moment.
There was a strange idea in my mind.
Shen Zhishu, do you hate me so much? Do you hate me to this extent? Do you wish she would disappear?
She was surprised.
But on second thought, if it were me, I would also wish she disappeared.
So from this perspective, their feelings are mutual?
"Why would I agree to such a silly bet?"
She doesn't have to pay any price whether she wins or loses, so what great thing is she thinking about?
Besides, she is not Shen Zhishu and she would not let herself disappear forever because of a man.
"The Queen is so boring. She doesn't want to play anything and just wants to take advantage of others."
Don't agree? She seemed to be getting more and more serious and calm.
If it were in the past, Su Rong would have definitely made the bet with great confidence.
Because she is always overconfident.
"It's not easy to take advantage of you."
From being shocked by her refusal at first, Su Rong now suddenly felt that her refusal was reasonable.
Since the cooperation failed, there is no need to stay.
"If you reject my proposal today, you won't have another chance in the future, Concubine Xian, you'd better take care of yourself."
Since she wants to watch me and the Queen Mother fight to the death, then no one should live and everyone should die together.
You dragged me into this, how can I possibly let you stay out of it?
Su Rong left Kunning Palace and went straight to Cining Palace.
"My lady, this is not good, right?"
Qianyue saw her being so impulsive and wanted to stop her.
"Do you think the Queen Mother is really ill and doesn't know anything? Instead of waiting for her to test me and then do something bad to me, it's better to take the initiative."
As she spoke, she walked even faster.
Afraid that Shen Zhishu would rush over in a moment, he thought of another way to exonerate himself.
But inside the bedroom, when the empress dowager learned that the queen had come to her on her own initiative, she looked puzzled and even thought for a moment that she was having an illusion.
"Her? Who else?"
After thinking for a while, she asked.
"Replying to the Queen Mother, she only brought her personal maid Qianyue, and not even the other palace maids."
None?
The Queen Mother was even more surprised.
"What on earth is she planning?"
"You'll know when you go out and see it."
Nanny Du remained calm.
The Queen Mother glanced at her and then calmed down a little.
After dressing up, she went to the main hall.
"My mother looks very well. I guess she's fine now, right?"
Su Rong had a gentle smile and didn't look like someone who was looking for trouble.
"Do you still hope that something happens to me?"
The Queen Mother dislikes her. She didn't like her before, let alone now.
"What are you talking about, mother? I naturally hope you can live a long life..."
"So you also hope that your father will live a long life, right? So you asked the imperial physician to see him. What did the physician tell you?"
The queen's smile seemed too fake in her eyes.
The Queen Mother interrupted impatiently.
Moreover, although she didn't know who the kidnapper was this time, Jing'an told her that the letter had been sent long ago and was not brought into the palace with the gifts.
But the letter was finally found among those things, which can only mean that someone had stuffed it in there.
As soon as she came back, the Queen sent someone to see the retired emperor and said that he could be cured?
Is it a coincidence?
She must know everything. Maybe she was the one who intercepted the letter.
"Mother, I thought I was the only one here, so you should know what I am thinking."
Su Rong sighed, and looked a little disappointed.
The Queen Mother looked at him askance, somewhat coldly.
"What is your mother worried about? Even if I tell you that he has been poisoned for so many years, even if that is the case, what does it have to do with you? What is your mother afraid of?"
