Speaking of this, his eyes revealed his expectations for the future. The water town of Jiangnan, with its rich resources and far away from the intrigues of the imperial city, is a peaceful and comfortable place to call home.

Su Rao noticed that he didn't have many books to take with him. Just as she was about to ask, Yin Taochen explained self-deprecatingly, "I burned those old books a few days ago."

There was a hint of embarrassment in his tone, "When I get to Jiangnan, I will buy a new passport and restart my academic journey."

Hearing this, Su Rao felt relieved. It would be a great pity if such a talented person like Yin Taochen really had to give up his studies.

“Although the world is facing difficulties right now, who can say that there won’t be a day when the clouds will clear and the sun will shine?”

Yin Taochen's words are full of optimism and tenacity, which makes people admire him.

Su Rao's original intention was to come and comfort them, but she never thought that Yin Taochen's mentality was so clear and open-minded. Perhaps, when the Huo family loses power, that will be the day for Yin Taochen to make a comeback.

"Mr. Yu has unique insights, which are truly brilliant." Su Rao felt complicated emotions in her heart as she praised him.

In her past life memories, the power of King Qi was growing, and the dark clouds in the sky were getting thicker and thicker. But in this life, Su Rao vaguely felt that there was a turning point in the situation, and that ray of hope was the appearance of King Yi.

Little did she know that for Yin Taochen, the real turning point was the person in front of him - Su Rao.

The trajectory of fate changed quietly. Instead of marrying into the Shen family, Su Rao became a member of the royal palace.

Unlike his previous life, Prince Yi was no longer the reclusive monk, but instead plunged into the turmoil of the secular world. This change made Prince Qi's position shaky.

More importantly, she avoided the sudden disaster in her previous life, which made Su Rao begin to think, since her own destiny can be changed, then, can she also influence the destiny of others in some way?

Thinking of this, a warm current surged in Yin Taochen's heart, and the future seemed to be full of infinite possibilities.

The two stood there quietly, their eyes meeting and then diverging in the air.

Su Raoyan's words were gentle but slightly chilling: "I wish you a safe journey, young master."

After a moment of silence, her voice rang out again, "Someone is waiting for good news."

Upon hearing this, Yin Taochen's eyes flickered slightly, and then he nodded slightly in response with the most elegant etiquette.

As he turned around, a faint but meaningful smile quietly appeared at the corner of his lips.

Waiting for good news, these four simple words stirred ripples in his heart.

Once upon a time, he was just like Su Raoyan, holding on to that silent watch, hoping to receive good news of his own one day.

……

When Su Rao returned home with light steps, she told Su Yi in detail about Yin Taochen's unspoken feelings.

She knew that Yin Taochen was trying to use her mouth to convey those delicate emotions to those who should know.

Su Yi listened quietly. Although she didn't say much, her eyes gradually brightened and her whole face seemed to be surrounded by a soft halo, making her look more lively and bright.

Time passed quickly. Not long after, Rong Mama came forward respectfully to report, with a hint of excitement in her voice: "Miss, the visiting card has been successfully delivered to the palace. Wait for good news."

After hearing this, Su Yi nodded slightly.

Su Rao's curiosity was instantly ignited, and she quickly asked, "Sister, which noble person is the visiting card you sent to?"

There was curiosity and a hint of excitement in his tone.

Su Yi uttered two words softly: "Empress."

Su Rao was surprised when he heard this.

Once upon a time, her sister always avoided everything related to the royal family, but now, she actually took the initiative to hand over a visiting card to the queen and asked for an audience?

Su Rao noticed that some subtle but profound changes seemed to be taking place in her sister.

……

On the other side, in the deep courtyard of the Shen family, in a tense and depressing atmosphere, the Huo family finally spared no expense to invite the imperial physician to treat the terminally ill Su Wan.

At this moment, Su Wan's physical condition was extremely bad, with large areas of skin ulcers. Even her once pretty face was distorted by the pain, like the reappearance of an evil ghost.

However, beneath such a terrifying appearance, there was a miraculous light of unyieldingness flashing in Su Wan's eyes.

"I said that the Huo family will not abandon me, and Cheng Jun must still remember me! Everything I have done will be rewarded in the end. Gu Lang, as long as Cheng Jun and I can rely on each other, your future will no longer be a dream!"

Su Wan's voice was trembling, and her excitement was almost beyond words.

Shen Jinghong tried hard to suppress the disgust in his heart, stepped back a few steps, but kept a calm face: "Shu'er, you have suffered too much."

Deep in his heart, a secret joy quietly spread. If he could really take this opportunity to get close to the Huo family, then his career advancement might be just around the corner.

However, he did not know that all this was not due to Huo Chengjun's own wishes, but for other reasons.

……

In the Kunning Palace of the Imperial Palace, in the magnificent hall, the Queen sat on the dragon throne, looking at the woman kneeling in front of her, she slowly spoke in a majestic voice: "If you have any request, just say it."

Su Yi bowed her head, her tone was humble but with a sense of power: "I beg the queen to grant my sister the status of a concubine."

The Queen paused for a moment while holding the teacup, a hint of barely perceptible hesitation flashed across her brows: "You are already a noble concubine, promoted to a concubine in the royal imperial book, this is no small matter."

Su Yi continued to respond in a calm but firm tone: "Therefore, I have come to ask for help from the queen. The prince's appearance in the Huo Mansion is all because of Rao'er's mediation. She is deeply loved by the prince, which inevitably arouses the jealousy of others. And I am just a maid, without anyone to rely on. If I can obtain a formal position, I can at least gain some power to protect myself."

The queen originally thought that this was quite interesting, but after careful consideration, she discovered that it contained a lot of profound meaning.

Although the Queen did not appreciate Su Rao's calculating character in her heart, under the current situation, Su Rao's ability and influence were the help she desperately needed.

If Su Rao met with an accident, it would undoubtedly be a bad omen for the Queen.

In this palace where power is intertwined and people's hearts are unpredictable, every decision may lead to unpredictable changes.

"I will think about it carefully."

The queen responded gently, with a hint of depth flashing between her brows.

Thoughts floated like catkins in the wind, and suddenly like fireworks blooming in the night sky, an idea flashed, "Bixia has been worried about a difficult case recently. If your clever sister can get Huaijue involved in the case, then the position of concubine will be as easy as picking flowers in the garden, right?"

After she finished speaking, the queen smiled, her eyes revealing a bit of anticipation and amusement.

Su Yi knew very well that the complicated situation behind this could not be summed up in a simple sentence.
