Chapter 207 Don’t you know whose territory this is?
"Tomorrow I will go to the palace to see the emperor. What do you want me to say?"
"Didn't the Third Princess enter the post house today in front of a grand welcoming ceremony? She is staying in the post house now, just report the truth."
"Then are you going to send the Third Sister back quietly?"
Staying in the palace is always a time bomb.
And he would also be guilty of deceiving the emperor.
She didn't want to take such a risk.
If she had been resolute in the past, how could it be worth it for her to take the risk for a scumbag now?
"Find a suitable time to send her back. However, until the Third Princess returns to the outer frontier, her safety is your responsibility. You must find the assassin as soon as possible."
Yan Chu didn't make things difficult for her.
"Do you have any clues?"
Who will want to kill the third princess? Who will be threatened by her return?
Queen?
If it was because of that letter that the Queen wanted to kill the person who knew the secret, it is very likely.
However, the third princess grew up in the queen's lap, and the letter also revealed the third princess's longing for the queen. She even came back to Kyoto this time just for the queen.
She would not betray the queen, so why would the queen kill her?
Yan Chu shook his head.
But I thought of Shen Zhishu's guess in my heart.
Perhaps the answer really lies in the palace.
He should find a way to investigate the past of the Third Princess.
The next day.
Su Rong entered the palace and met the emperor.
However, His Majesty is weak at this time and handles state affairs in his bedroom.
She could hear him coughing from time to time as soon as she stepped into the door.
When I looked up, I saw him reviewing memorials with trembling hands.
I'm afraid the old emperor's time is coming to an end.
"Father, I have already sent Princess Jing'an and her husband to the posthouse..."
But what does his life or death have to do with me?
She even hoped that the old emperor would die quickly.
It took her a cup of tea to report her mission, and the old emperor coughed intermittently several times.
"Yes, I am always assured of your work."
The old emperor spoke in a gentle tone and his eyes were very kind.
It seemed as if he had completely forgotten what happened before.
"After being nursed in the mansion for a few days, is the baby in your belly doing well?"
Then he staggered to his feet.
He walked down slowly, supported by the eunuch, and walked towards Su Rong.
"Reporting to Father, the doctor said the fetus is fine."
"What's good? I've also heard about your palace's affairs. You are too serious and stubborn, and you can easily hurt yourself. I hope you can relax and give birth to the child and raise him to adulthood. With your ability and status, no one can shake your position. Do you understand?"
The old emperor spoke earnestly.
It seemed to be warning Su Rong not to do those unnecessary things, because what she has cannot be taken away by others.
If he had said this before, Su Rong might have felt comforted.
But now, those who bullied her have been trampling on her dignity. How can she let go of these grudges?
"I intend to restore your official position. I hope you can continue to work for the court and the people."
"Thank you, Father."
This was what her father had said before, so she was not surprised.
The old emperor even prepared his decree.
"Princess Qin, you are pregnant with the first child of the King of Qin. I don't want any mistakes to happen. Previously, you harmed the King of Qin because of your recklessness. I just hope that this time, you will not make the same mistake again."
Su Rong did not stay long. After reporting her official business and receiving the imperial edict, she left.
But before leaving, the old emperor gave her another earnest warning.
What does it mean that I harmed him because of my recklessness?
Is there some hidden meaning behind what he said?
On the way out of the palace, she suddenly remembered that at the last Queen's birthday banquet, there was something that should have been announced, but the Emperor never mentioned it again.
Could it be that he had already decided to pass the throne to Yan Chu, but that time, because of me, it was temporarily shelved.
This time, the reminder...
So even though he has been making use of King Shuo recently, in the old emperor's heart, this position has long belonged to Yan Chu.
In this way, she is the future queen, and the words just now are advice to the future queen.
The more Su Rong thought about it, the more excited she became.
Especially looking at the old emperor's physical condition today, she felt that day would not be far away.
In this case, she needs to find King Shuo.
The outcome was decided, and he could not make any more unnecessary sacrifices.
The child in her belly is his, and will be her most advantageous weapon for revenge against King Qin in the future. King Shuo must stay alive and stand by her side, so that he can take the throne from her one day.
So she came to Tingfeng Tower.
But when Yunmeng found out that she came to see King Shuo, she was stunned.
Is she stupid or am I unable to understand her deeper meaning?
"I'm afraid it's not convenient here. How about I find someone to send a letter to King Shuo and arrange a new place?"
she asked tentatively.
Have you forgotten that this is now the territory of the King of Qin?
"This is my territory. I can go and see whoever I want to see. If my place is not safe, where else can be safe?"
Su Rong frowned and looked dissatisfied as she listened.
After hearing this, Yun Meng rolled her eyes to the sky.
My master suddenly became stupid, and his stupidity made no sense.
"Have you forgotten that everyone here is the King of Qin's spies?"
I didn't expect she would need to say such nonsense.
Su Rong pursed her lips instantly, her face full of unhappiness.
"I think it's better for you to maintain your relationship with King Shuo."
"He and I have nothing to do with each other. We are just friends."
Su Rong immediately retorted.
"Yes, but the King of Qin and the King of Shuo are enemies. Since you are the Princess of Qin, you can be friends with anyone, but not with the King of Shuo."
Does she need to remind me of this kind of stance issue?
Yun Meng felt helpless. Didn't her master know that if the King of Qin knew that she was so close to the King of Shuo, neither as a man nor as the King of Qin, he would not get close to her.
But Su Rong frowned and was very unhappy.
"Forget it then. I'll figure it out myself."
But she was not that confused, she understood this principle very well.
Yun Meng hurriedly sent her out, and only after watching her leave did she secretly breathe a sigh of relief.
"Master, why did the princess come here today?"
But behind her, King Qin's spy came up.
Yunmeng secretly groaned.
The stupid master really caused her a lot of trouble.
She turned around, smiled, and seriously tried to find an excuse to get away with it.
At dusk, in an inconspicuous corner, in a deserted yard.
King Shuo rushed over and met Su Rong.
"I've been back for so long, and you finally remembered me."
He looked at Su Rong tenderly.
"It's really not easy to see you."
Thinking about the plan in her mind, she smiled faintly.
"Why weren't you there at the wedding banquet at the palace a few days ago?"
At that moment, King Shuo felt as if he saw the deep affection in her eyes, and he became a little excited.
