I was given the contraceptive soup and became the emperor's white moonlight

"Qing'er, Xiaohe, the two of you should step back first."

"My lady!" Xiao He looked at Concubine Gu with fear and said cautiously, "My lady, this Concubine Gu is not someone you can easily mess with. You are alone..."

"It's okay," Su Minglang smiled soothingly, "Don't hit someone who smiles at you. Besides, I came here with gifts to apologize today. Even if she doesn't give me face, I still have the Su family's support behind me. She doesn't dare to do anything to me."

"But......"

"Have you guys had enough of wasting time?" Concubine Gu looked at the people on the ground with an impatient look on her face, "Someone, drag out the two palace maids beside Concubine Su!"

"Your Majesty, please forgive me!" Su Zhaoyi apologized hastily, and gestured for the two of them to leave quickly. Even if Qinghe and the other two were unwilling, they could only go out and wait in shame.

After the door was completely closed, Su Minglang slowly spoke: "Madam Shufei, I came here today to surrender to you."

"Surrender?" Concubine Gu looked at the woman who was talking nonsense in front of her in confusion, "What nonsense are you talking about! Why do I want you to surrender?"

"You don't think I'll let you go just by saying I surrender, do you?"

"Of course not!" Su Minglang hastily denied, and her attitude became even more respectful. "Your Majesty, I know that I offended you yesterday and made you unhappy, but there was a reason why I said those treasonous words."

"Your Highness must know that I am from the Su family, which has generations of military commanders. They have no idea what our little daughter is thinking. Now I have entered the palace alone, from a young lady from an aristocratic family to a married woman. I am very timid in this deep palace."

"I can only try my best to show my strength and make everyone fear me. I know I am being disrespectful and will accept your punishment, Your Majesty!"

"only......"

Su Minglang raised his eyes, and his face, which had lost some of its color, looked even more delicate and pitiful. Even Concubine Gu Shu felt a little pity when she saw him.

She lowered her eyes slightly, her eyes full of sorrow, but she turned the words around several times and deliberately did not continue, just waiting to arouse Concubine Gu Shu's desire to explore.

Concubine Gu Shu looked at her self-pitying appearance and felt anxious, "Just what? Tell me quickly!"

After hearing Concubine Gu Shu's question, Su Minglang continued, "It's just that when I first saw Your Majesty, I felt that Your Majesty was extraordinary."

"Hmph!" Concubine Gu Shu snorted involuntarily with pride upon hearing this, "Don't think that you can let me off just by complaining and saying a few nice words!"

"I dare not ask for forgiveness, Your Majesty," Su Minglang hurriedly bowed her head and nodded, "It's just that I am alone and want to seek someone's protection."

"Your Majesty is the best candidate for me!"

"You said you wanted to seek asylum? There are so many people in this palace, why do you have to come to me when you can go to anyone else?" Concubine Gu Shu obviously didn't believe that she was really here to seek her asylum. After all, this person had shamelessly used her status to pressure her yesterday. However, she was not afraid of her and let her do whatever she wanted. She could only kneel down and talk to her.

"Your Majesty, I know you don't trust me, but my feelings are absolutely true."

Su Minglang looked at the complacent woman sitting in the upper seat and sighed inwardly. It was not because her ability to read people's minds was so superb, but because this woman's expression showed her joy so well that one could tell what she was thinking at a glance.

"I dared to talk to a man outside your palace today, which means I am willing to hand the evidence to you. I am willing to serve you at your command, even to the bitter end!"

"Hmm?" After Su Minglang said this, Concubine Gu Shu was even more confused, "Why do you think I won't tell His Majesty about your secret meeting with a man outside yours?"

"I'm not sure," Su Minglang nodded, "But if Your Majesty is willing to keep it a secret for me, then this will be my first gift to Your Majesty."

"A gift? You've been meeting a man outside my door, corrupting the morals of my palace, and you still dare to say it's a gift for me?" Concubine Gu Shu suspected that she was crazy and wasted time listening to this woman's lies.

Su Minglang smiled as she looked at Concubine Gu Shu's face full of annoyance, and calmly gave her a reassurance, "Although I don't know the specific identity of the gentleman outside the door just now, one thing I can be sure of is that the gentleman has a close relationship with the one in Kunning Palace."

"Maybe they are from the same mother."

"Kunning Palace? Are you talking about the Queen?" After the words came out, Concubine Gu covered her mouth belatedly and looked around anxiously. Then she remembered that she had just driven out everyone around her. At this moment, she was thankful for her early plan, and at the same time she resented Su Minglang for making her say such words.

It would be fine if it was anyone else, she had never been afraid of anyone in the harem except Empress Wen. Even if she no longer cared about the twists and turns in the court, she knew that Empress Wen and the Wen family behind her were definitely not people she could afford to offend.

"what do you mean?"

"Your Highness, don't you understand?" Su Minglang was a little helpless. "No matter who I am, as long as this matter involves me and that Lord Wen, the Wen family will only know that this incident happened in front of your palace."

"So, as long as this matter involves the Wen family, do you think you can still stay out of it?"

"How dare you threaten me!" Concubine Gu was shocked and walked to Su Minglang in a rage, raising her hand to slap him.

Su Minglang gently held her arm as if she had been prepared, "My lady, I told you this is my gift to you."

"I will not harm you," Su Minglang stood up on her own, her stature even taller than Concubine Gu Shufei, "Your Majesty, as long as you keep silent about this matter, the Wen family will remember your kindness."

"You, are you serious?" Concubine Gu stared at her doubtfully.

Su Minglang ignored her suspicion and said to herself: "In this deep palace, even you can't always be favored, let alone me, your concubine?"

"We all know the Queen's health condition. To be disrespectful, how many more years can she live?"

"Su Minglang!" Concubine Gu was frightened by her words and wanted to cover her mouth eagerly.

Su Minglang grabbed Concubine Gu's hand and stared at her with burning eyes, "Madam Concubine Shu, apart from the Queen, you are the only one with the highest position in the harem. Who do you think will be the Queen one day?"

"Don't you want to fight for it, Madam?"

"I, but, this..." Concubine Gu hesitantly broke free from Su Minglang's hand. Her brain, which was not very intelligent to begin with, was now even more of a mess.

Su Minglang knew that the woman in front of him was far from being as fearless as she looked, and there had to be a temptation that she absolutely could not refuse.

"Do you want to be trapped in this Jingyang Palace for the rest of your life, alone in an empty room, watching the old people laugh from generation to generation?"

"Do you want to sit alone in this empty palace, crying over these gold, silver and jade objects?"

"Do you want His Majesty to hear your name one day but not be able to remember what you look like?"

"My lady..."

"That's enough!" Concubine Gu screamed, "Get out! Get out of here! Get out!"

Su Minglang was quickly driven out by the palace maids who jumped in. She watched the vermilion lacquered gate of Jingyang Palace slowly close, with an intriguing smile on the corner of her mouth.
