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

Zhenguogongfu.

Su Jingning was finally allowed to get out of bed and walk around today. He had been lying in bed for several days and his whole body was sore.

She asked Yun Ya to help her walk in the garden of the mansion.

"Miss, the Dali Temple did not find any evidence that Shen Zhiyi hired a killer to kill you, so they only convicted Shen Zhiyi of intentional injury. She was supposed to be caned, but today the Queen Mother of Qingzhou suddenly issued an imperial decree to take her away."

"Did the Empress Dowager take Shen Zhiyi away?" Su Jingning stopped and asked Yun Ya.

"Yes, she just said that she was practicing Buddhism in Foyin Mountain. Shen Zhiyi made a mistake, so she punished her to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures with her. She will teach Shen Zhiyi well."

Yun Ya looked a little angry. This was too easy for Shen Zhiyi. Her daughter was injured like this, but she only wanted Shen Zhiyi to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures. How could this be justified? Isn't the Queen Mother using her power to pressure others?

Su Jingning sneered. She almost forgot that the empress dowager of the Great Zhou who retired to Qingzhou to practice vegetarianism and chant Buddhist scriptures was also a member of the Shen family.

Shen Zhiyi wanted to use the Empress Dowager to avoid the punishment of the Dali Temple. The people in the Duke of Qing's Mansion are really good at bullying others by taking advantage of their power.

However, she has more important things to do now. After she has found out the truth about this matter, she will settle the account with Shen Zhiyi.

"Forget it, let An Xia keep an eye on the Cheng Mansion for the next few days. We can talk about other things later." Su Jingning ordered in a deep voice.

"Yes."

"I'll sit here for a while and then go back." Su Jingning sat in the pavilion by the lake, looking down absentmindedly at the rippling lake surface under the light.

"Meet the Prince of Beiyang!"

Yun Ya's surprised voice suddenly came from behind.

When Su Jingning heard the voice, he immediately turned around and looked behind him.

Gu Yan'an was standing in the sun, wearing a dark blue satin robe with auspicious cloud pattern. His black hair was half-tied up behind his back with a jade hairpin. He looked dazzlingly white in the light. Looking at Su Jingning in the pavilion, the tenderness in his eyes was so gentle that it was intoxicating.

"Why are you here!" Su Jingning asked Gu Yan'an with surprise in his eyes and a bright smile on his face.

Gu Yan'an walked towards her slowly. Yun Ya looked at him with a frown. When she was thinking about whether to stop him, her young lady had already passed her and walked towards the Prince of Beiyang.

"Slow down, your injury hasn't healed yet."

Gu Yan'an looked at Su Jingning, who was walking towards him with a happy expression and a little hurried steps. He frowned, strode to Su Jingning's side, stretched out his hand to support her, his tone gentle and somewhat helpless.

Yun Ya stood there in a daze. What was going on? When did the Prince of Beiyang and her young lady become so intimate?

"Miss....."

"Yun Ya, you go back first. I will go there by myself later." Su Jingning instructed Yun Ya.

"Oh. Yes." Yun Ya couldn't figure it out for a moment. She was a little confused and left without thinking.

Gu Yan'an helped Su Jingning to sit down on the veranda of the pavilion. She looked much better than before. He had been busy these days and hadn't seen her for several days. Thinking that she should be able to go out for a walk today, maybe he could see her, so he came to the Zhenguo Mansion.

Gu Yan'an tidied up the hair around Su Jingning's ears that was messed up by the wind, and looked at the girl with tenderness in his eyes.

"I haven't come to see you these past few days. Have you taken your medicine properly? Have you secretly eaten too much of the peach frosting that Mu Xi gave you?"

Su Jingning looked at Gu Yan'an and almost fell into his doting eyes. She frowned and said to Gu Yan'an in a tender voice:

"Oh, Ah Yan, I'm not a child, how could I possibly eat secretly?"

Gu Yanan looked at her angry expression and chuckled:

"I'm just kidding, it's good that you don't have it."

Su Jingning propped up his chin and looked at him: "Ayan, don't smile in front of outsiders in the future."

"Huh? Why?"

Gu Yan'an looked at her suspiciously, his voice low and pleasant, a little puzzled.

"You can only smile in front of me."

Su Jingning's voice was light but very domineering. He was already good-looking, and when he smiled, it was even more attractive. What if someone fell in love with him?

Gu Yan'an looked at her and smiled even more wantonly, his eyes doting: "Okay, I will only smile at you from now on."

After getting a satisfactory answer, Su Jingning smiled and nodded.

"By the way, was there anyone chasing you again on the day I was injured?" Su Jingning asked Gu Yan'an with a serious look.

"Yeah." Gu Yan'an didn't intend to hide it from her. She was so smart that he couldn't hide it from her.

"Is it Concubine Shu's person?" Su Jingning seemed to be asking Gu Yan'an, but his eyes were full of certainty.

Gu Yan'an was stunned. He didn't expect that she would find out so quickly. He didn't say anything. He didn't want her to get involved.

"So the assassin we met at Qingfo Mountain that day was also sent by Concubine Shu?" Su Jingning's eyes became colder and colder. Ah Yan was the prince of Beiyang, why did Concubine Shu want to kill Ah Yan again and again?

Gu Yan'an lowered his eyes to look at the lake in the distance and nodded, as if he didn't want to talk about it.

Su Jingning gently held Gu Yan'an's slender hand and looked at him with a firm and warm look.

"You don't want to tell me why she wanted to kill you?"

Gu Yan'an looked down at the little hand holding his and slowly tightened it.

"Su Jingning, if I am not as good as you think, if I am a bad person and have done very bad things, will you... hate me?" When he asked the last sentence, his voice even trembled slightly.

Su Jingning looked at him. She could feel his inner nervousness and fear. She didn't know what he was afraid of. She sighed softly, stretched out her other hand and gently hugged him, saying softly:

"Gu Yan'an, I don't know what you are afraid of, but I told you, I like you, no matter what kind of you you are. Besides, I'm not a good person."

Gu Yan'an closed his eyes and hugged Su Jingning. He didn't know how to explain to Su Jingning, and finally chose to remain silent.

Su Jingning did not force him to tell her the reason why he allowed Concubine Shu to hunt him down. Everyone has things they don't want to talk about, and she respected him.

Su Jingning leaned in Gu Yan'an's arms, with a fierce look in his eyes.

Concubine Shu tried to kill A Yan many times and even hurt herself. She couldn't bear this loss and she had to pay Concubine Shu back no matter what.
