Chapter 34: There is still a hawk behind the oriole

Su Feiran and Hua Tangdi were at loggerheads, while Yu Xiao and Xin Ye were also refusing to give in, and their glances seemed to be about to spark a fire.

"I've heard from the sisters in the palace that Liu Ronghua is eloquent, has wild ideas, and always likes to say things that others can't understand."

A cold look flashed across Hua Tangdi's eyes, and then he smiled and said,

"When Liu Ronghua tells a story some other day, I will definitely go and listen to it to see how fascinating the stories told by the sisters are that are better than those told by the storyteller."

"Others may not understand this, but Sister Shuofei will definitely understand it." Su Feiran also smiled, "Although I am not as experienced as you in the palace, I have learned a lot of tricks in the past half month. Yuxiao and Xunyin have been running around for me for half a month, but they have never passed by Linghua Garden. How come Xinye happened to pass by and bumped into Yang Cainu?"

"Nothing happens in the world without coincidence. Xinye may be tired of the ordinary path, so it is normal to change the path." Hua Tangdi smiled, "Liu Ronghua, don't worry. After making up too many stories, maybe my sister's mind has become more sophisticated."

It seems that Hua Tangdi will never admit it.

Su Feiran was not in a hurry. Even if Hua Tangdi denied it verbally, the murderous gaze she felt just now had already proved a lot.

"Sister Shuo Fei, I have no intention of spreading this matter, so you don't need to hide it." Su Feiran said, "Just now I said in the palace that I couldn't find the whereabouts of the other half of the paper, and everyone focused on me, only you looked at Xinye. I guess the other half is with Miss Xinye."

"Since Liu Ronghua has seen through it, I might as well be more direct."

Hua Tangdi slowly put away the smile on her face, and looked at Su Feiran with a little more pride in her eyes.

"Ronghua, you don't have to test me. It was indeed me who deliberately let Yang Cainu find this piece of paper, but I was not the one who tore the paper. Liu Ronghua is smart and naturally understands that neither I nor Xinye understands foreign languages, so it is impossible for us to tear the paper and leave the part that causes misunderstanding. Xinye just accidentally found this piece of paper and thought the symbols on it were interesting, so she asked the Grand Secretary in my name."

Su Feiran's eyes darkened slightly. It was indeed so.

"I just used some tricks to hand over the items I found to the Imperial Concubine. As for whether it is a sin, it is ultimately Ronghua's own karma."

Hua Tangdi said arrogantly, as if Su Feiran was just an actor on the stage she had set up herself, and everything she had just experienced in the palace was just a dramatic play.

"Although Liu Ronghua came to question me, Ronghua should also feel guilty. Did you really write a thank you before the poem you gave to the foreign guest?"

There was no expression on Su Feiran's face, but Yu Xiao was obviously nervous and pursed her lips into a slit.

Hua Tangdi keenly caught Yu Xiao's expression at that moment, and she mocked, "If Liu Ronghua doesn't want me to look for the poem you gave to the foreign guest, then don't make groundless assumptions on me."

After saying that, Hua Tangdi yawned, and regardless of Su Feiran's reaction, she continued, "I am tired and want to go back to the palace to rest. Liu Ronghua, please do as you please."

After saying that, Xinye supported Hua Tangdi's arm, and the two turned and left.

Su Feiran bowed to Hua Tangdi's back and said, "Sister Shuo Fei, take care."

When Hua Tangdi and Xinye disappeared, Yuxiao breathed a sigh of relief: "It was really too close. Fortunately, Empress Shuo didn't want to continue to pester me! But how did she know that the master didn't write a thank you letter?"

Su Feiran put on the appearance of a scholar and wrote down a bunch of gibberish in a very eloquent manner. Yu Xiao could see clearly that she did not write any words to express her gratitude.

But apart from heaven and earth, only Su Feiran, Yu Xiao, Xun Yin and the guest from the outside world knew about this matter. How did Hua Tangdi know about it?

"She guessed it."

Su Feiran seemed to see through Yu Xiao's doubts and explained,

"Just now in the palace, if I really had solid evidence, I would have brought it out early in the morning, and there would be no need to entangle with Yang Cainv for so long. She saw through my betting, betting that Yang Cainv would not dare to investigate, betting that Yang Cainv would regret it halfway and wanted to cover up the matter."

"I won the bet, but she used Xin Ye's words to force Yang Cainu into a situation where she had no way out. If Yang Cainu was determined to fight to the death, I'm afraid she would really ask to find the poem I wrote. So, I only won by a narrow margin."

"Hua Tangdi, why is she targeting me?"

Su Feiran muttered to himself, but he was thinking about something else:

Could it be the Queen Mother's instruction?

Hua Tangdi and Lin Xiuqing have an average relationship, but that doesn’t mean Hua Tangdi has no connection with the Lin family.

Perhaps, Hua Tangdi's embarrassment to her also implied the Queen Mother's intention. The Queen Mother didn't look like someone who would keep things quiet. Since she hated her, she didn't embarrass her for half a month, which was really strange.

There was one more thing that Su Feiran couldn't figure out no matter how hard he tried.

She had only vaguely felt that Concubine Jia treated her differently from other concubines before. After what happened today, she was convinced that Concubine Jia was willing to protect her at least in some matters.

Why is this?

Su Feiran confirmed that he had nothing to do with Wu Jiayan in the past. Could it be that she had some past with her mother's family?

It seems that I have to find a way to contact my family and ask some questions.

"Forget it, Master, don't think about these things for now!" Yu Xiao looked at Su Feiran's serious face and said casually, "The shareholders' meeting will be held tomorrow night. The sisters in the palace are all looking forward to tomorrow! Let's go back to the palace and prepare well. We must not lose to them!"

"That's right." Su Feiran sighed, "Let's go back."

Some things cannot be figured out in the short term, so it is better to put them behind you. Maybe you will find other clues in the future.

......

Inside Chitang Garden.

All the concubines have left, and the palace is no longer as bustling as before.

Wu Jiayan sat on the armchair, holding a copy of "A Hundred Poems" in his hand, but he read ten lines at a time.

Ling'er understood Wu Jiayan's thoughts best, and knew that the queen must be troubled by some worries, so she made tea and waited by the side, waiting for instructions at any time.

"Ling'er." Wu Jiayan called.

coming!

Ling'er's eyes lit up, and she quickly approached Concubine Jia and responded sweetly, "What does your Majesty want me to do? Do you want me to bring you some desserts or handkerchiefs? Or, would you like Ling'er to accompany your Majesty for a walk?"

Wu Jiayan shook his head, thought for a moment, and asked, "What do you think of what Yang Cainu said?"

"This..." Ling'er hesitated, "I think that your Majesty's decision is fair and just. She did not blame Liu Ronghua wrongly, and she also taught Yang Cainu a lesson, telling her to be more prudent in the future and not be so frivolous again."

"No, that's not it."

Wu Jiayan put down the book in his hand and said softly,

"I mean, if the woman who met the out-of-region guest was not Liu Ronghua, who could it be?"

"Maybe it's just Yang Cainu talking nonsense..."

"This is strange."

Wu Jiayan did not agree with Ling'er's opinion.

She looked outside the palace, as if she wanted to look beyond the high walls into the distance.

"It seems that not only the Lin family, but also the forces outside the court should be watched carefully."
