Jiang Hao and Xu Xing were not the only ones who lamented over the will of heaven. The one in Yongning Palace was also gloating over the misfortune.

Concubine Shu originally thought that her son Xie Yujin had gone to the military camp, and they had already gained the upper hand in the matter of "Mars guarding the heart", but Emperor Suwen had been slow to decide on the candidate to nominate, and she secretly prayed that her son still had a chance.

She wanted her son to get that position, and she also wanted to climb higher, but she couldn't bear to let her son take the risk and bear the calamity.

She didn't love Emperor Suwen, but she loved her son, even more than her own life. That's why she was sad and even angry when she found out that her son didn't share the same goal as her after all her efforts.

"My lady, the kitchen has prepared what you requested."

Yan Qing came in from outside and brought Concubine Shu back to her senses.

For some reason, whenever she thought about it recently, that person's beautiful smile would appear in her mind and would not go away for a long time.

Sixteen years.

Maybe I'm old.

"Change my clothes."

"Yes."

Concubine Shu changed into the color that Emperor Suwen liked the most. She had a beautiful and graceful figure and a very youthful face. It was hard to tell that she was already in her thirties.

"My lady is so beautiful."

Yan Qing praised with a smile.

"What's the use of looking good?"

Concubine Shu looked at herself in the mirror and sneered and replied that it was useless no matter how beautiful she was.

Yan Qing was shocked, but she didn't dare to respond. They knew the pain of the queen. Although the emperor often came to the palace, he was old and could no longer do it. But her master was still young!

Hey!

"Let's go."

Concubine Shu no longer pursues love between men and women. What she wants now is power, the power she will get after Emperor Suwen passes away.

In this life, she could not be a queen, but she wanted to be a queen mother.

"Your servant pays respects to Her Majesty Shu Guifei."

When Eunuch De saw Concubine Shu coming, he immediately smiled and greeted her: "Your Majesty is reviewing memorials. I will go in to report. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."

"No need, I just want to send some food."

Since they were not discussing state affairs, Emperor Suwen would definitely give her some face if she went in like this.

This wasn't the first time this had happened, so Eunuch De didn't take it too seriously: "Yes, Madam, please."

Concubine Shu left the people outside and went in carrying the food box.

"Your Majesty, are you dreaming?"

It was the voice of Eunuch Qu.

Looking at Emperor Su Wen's slightly frightened expression, it was not just a dream, but a nightmare.

However, Eunuch Qu did not dare to ask this.

Emperor Suwen let out a long sigh, wiped the sweat off his forehead with a handkerchief, and glanced at Eunuch Qu with half-closed eyes: "Change to a cup of tea."

"Yes."

Eunuch Qu agreed cautiously and immediately asked someone to make tea.

Ever since the emperor summoned him to serve him again, he has been extremely cautious in his words and actions.

Concubine Shu didn't hear any useful information. She walked in with her food box and met the eunuch who was making tea.

"My concubine pays your respects to the Emperor."

Concubine Shu smiled sweetly and came forward with a food box: "I have made some snacks for Your Majesty, please have a taste."

Emperor Suwen was displeased when he saw her come in without being summoned, but he did not get angry: "My beloved concubine, you are thoughtful. Bring it to me to taste."

Concubine Shu quickly agreed, and a young eunuch came to help immediately. She walked towards the dragon table with the plate in her hand, but when she saw the three words written by the emperor on the dragon table, her heart was suddenly filled with turmoil.

How did His Majesty know the name "Huo Yuanpei"?
