The Evil Emperor's Favorite: The Sickly and Poisonous Concubine Goes Crazy

It was that small teahouse in the quiet alley again, and the light fragrance of tea filled the quiet teahouse.

Gu Yan'an supported his chin and looked at Su Jingning, who was brewing tea with graceful and skillful movements, with tenderness in his eyes and brows.

Su Jingning handed the brewed tea to him. He took it and took a sip.

Then he looked at Su Jingning who was concentrating on brewing tea and said:

"Your Majesty threw Shen Rui and her eunuchs into the Hell to feed the lions today."

"Oh."

Su Jingning lowered his head and fiddled with the teacup, replying casually.

Seeing that she didn't seem surprised at all, Gu Yan'an smiled and continued:

"The eunuch's name is Ade. He has been missing for some time. If I am not mistaken, he should have been in your hands all along."

"Did you do what happened today?" Gu Yan'an leaned back and looked at the calm girl. Thinking of the Wushao case not long ago, most of the Shen family's power in the court was cut off. She seemed to be much more mysterious and powerful than he thought.

Su Jingning put down the teacup in his hand and nodded.

"Ah."

"Why? With her ability, she can't threaten the Su family."

Gu Yan'an knew that the Su family was her bottom line. But the Shen family's power in the court had greatly decreased. Even if the empress dowager returned to Beijing, it would not be able to restore the former prosperity for a while. Under the current situation, no one could move the Zhenguo Mansion. And Concubine Shu could not endanger the Zhenguo Mansion.

Given her personality, she shouldn't suddenly take action at this time.

Su Jingning looked at Gu Yan'an with suspicion in his eyes, thought about what Yun Ya had found out about what Concubine Shu had done over the years, and thought about how he looked when he first saw him in the blood pool. He suddenly felt angry and distressed.

"Because she deserves to die!"

Seeing the anger and undisguised heartache in her eyes, Gu Yan'an tightened his hands slightly in his sleeves.

"You want to kill her because of me?" He seemed to have guessed why she wanted to kill Shen Rui. His voice was a little hoarse, and carried a hint of imperceptible joy.

Su Jingning looked at him. She never understood why Concubine Shu wanted to kill him, nor did she understand why he had the ability to get rid of Concubine Shu but did not touch her.

It was not until that day when she learned about his life experience that she realized that his childhood experience was like a huge shadow that had always shrouded him in darkness. He was terrified but could not get rid of it, and even allowed himself to be immersed in it. That was why Concubine Shu threatened to expose his identity and hurt him for so many years.

So she broke her vow for the first time, borrowed the power of Yin Ge, and made a plan on the dragon boat to kill Concubine Shu.

"I just can't let her hurt you." Su Jingning lowered his head and didn't look at Yan'an. His voice was a little muffled and he was in a low mood.

Gu Yan'an leaned against the back of his chair, looking at the girl in front of him with her eyes downcast, unhappy. He couldn't move his eyes away. No one saw the slightly raised corners of his mouth.

The man's low laughter reached Su Jingning's ears. She looked up and saw the young man in dark blue with a slightly raised mouth corner, with a little casualness, and a light in his eyes as he looked at her.

It seemed that she was the only one who stood firmly in front of him and protected him.

Su Jingning's ears turned slightly red, and she felt a little embarrassed by being stared at by him.

Turning my head to look out the window, the breeze gently caressed the branches and leaves in front of the window, bringing with it the chirping of cicadas in early summer, which made me feel uneasy.

As dusk fell, Gu Yan'an sent Su Jingning back home, only telling her that he would be busy in the next few days and might not have time to see her again. Then he left in a hurry.

For the next ten days, Su Jingning didn't see Gu Yan'an. Fengting Tower was being expanded, and she was so focused on it that she forgot about him for a while.

Yue Xun is indeed the richest person in Jiangnan. With the huge financial resources accumulated over the years, she has arranged pavilions and towers all over the Great Zhou in just a few months. Within two months, the network that she wants to observe and hear the world will be laid.

Su Jingning stayed up all night again to deal with the urgent documents that Yue Xun had sent from various Fengting Towers. He fell into bed and fell asleep. When he woke up, it was already noon.

As soon as she stood up, she heard Su Luowan's voice shouting to come in from outside the door. She shook her head helplessly. This girl went back to the gentle and cultured Jiangnan with her aunt, but she didn't learn any of the softness of Jiangnan women. Instead, her temperament became more flamboyant.

"Sister Yunqing, when will my second sister get up? It's already noon. Could my second sister be sick?"

Su Luowan's impatient voice and Yun Qing's low voice trying to stop her from speaking more quietly could be heard from outside the house.

Su Jingning lifted the door curtain and walked out. He smiled at Su Luowan, who was walking back and forth in the room with a frown on her face and a look of anxiety and anger.

"Who has offended our little Wan'er? Her little face is so anxious. Tsk tsk tsk, it makes her even cuter."

Su Jingning reached out and hugged Su Luowan who was rushing towards him, and gently pinched her round and tender little face and joked.

"Second sister! I'm so mad. Do you know who I met when I went out today?" Su Luowan didn't know who she met, and her face turned red with anger.

Su Jingning pulled her to sit down and asked her to speak slowly.

"I met Shen Zhiyi! I finally went out to the Weaponsmith Pavilion to get the new Iron Bone Whip that my fourth sister ordered for me, but I actually met Shen Zhiyi there. She spent a lot of money to ask the Pavilion Master of the Weaponsmith Pavilion to make a sword, and she also loudly threatened to give it to her lover."

"Second sister, guess who is the lover she is going to give away?" Su Luowan seemed to get even angrier when she mentioned this, and her hands clenched.

"She actually said that the lover she was going to give away was the Prince of Beiyang! Doesn't she know that the Prince of Beiyang is discussing marriage with my second sister? She even shouted so loudly that the Prince of Beiyang is her lover. What is she thinking? She is openly trying to ruin my second sister's marriage. I was so angry that I almost whipped her."

"She doesn't even bother to find out what outsiders are saying about her and the Shen family! And she's still making such a fuss about it!"

Su Jingning looked at Su Luowan, who was as angry as a little squirrel, and listened to her with a doting look, then looked at her and chuckled:

"You were so angry, did you really not whip anyone?"

When Su Luowan heard this, he said with a serious face:

"Really not! The military book my second sister gave me said that a general should be wise, trustworthy, benevolent, brave, and strict. You must be cautious. Xiao Wan must not be impulsive. If you beat her, it will cause trouble for the mansion."

"But don't worry, second sister. You didn't hear what the people in the Weaponry Pavilion said about her after she left. She is really unpopular." Su Luowan pouted and said with disgust.

Su Jingning patted her head with relief in his eyes.

"Xiao Wan did a good job. When you are out there, be careful not to be impulsive."

"As for Shen Zhiyi, haha, she can't snatch away my second sister's marriage."

There was mockery in Su Jingning's eyes. Not only was Concubine Shu not reinstated, she was also thrown into the Dark Prison to feed the lions. Now there are rumors outside and the Shen family is in the center of the storm. Shen Zhiyi is so stupid to come out and show off at this time and want to get involved with the Beiyang Palace.

Seeing her second sister praising her like this, Su Luowan's anger came and went quickly, and she soon put the matter behind her.

She held Su Jingning's hand and chattered non-stop about her interesting experiences in Jiangnan. When she talked about something interesting, she would stand up and gesture a few times, which made Su Jingning laugh. After a long time, the Second Lady's people came and she went back reluctantly.
