A dream ends life

The head maid hurriedly followed behind her, "Ever since Madam Su dragged her into this, the Queen Mother has been having nightmares every day. Today, she even refused to take her medicine. Master Taifu, please go and take a look!"

Yu Luohan paused and slowed down his pace involuntarily.

The head palace maid was delighted, for she knew that the Grand Tutor would not want to make the Empress Dowager suffer.

"Ever since the Empress Dowager was...

"Shut up! If you don't want to die, watch your mouth!" Yu Luo stared at the head palace maid coldly.

The head maid shuddered, she had done something wrong, "Please forgive me, my lord. I just felt sorry for the Empress Dowager, and I felt a little uncomfortable. I deserve to die!"

Yu Luohan's cold eyes made the palace maid tremble all over.

"Pity the Queen Mother? You don't deserve it!"

After saying that, he strode forward.

The senior palace maid waited for him to walk away, then collapsed on the ground, powerless. She was frightened to death. The Tutor looked so scary when he was angry.

She was also the one who attacked Madam Su that day. The Grand Tutor looked at her as if she were a dead person. Could she have been killed by the Grand Tutor as well?

When the Grand Tutor killed Baozhu, she didn't even blink an eye. What's more, the Queen Mother never said a word to her. She would never let a servant like them offend the Grand Tutor. If they died, they died. She would never lack people to serve her.

The senior palace maid walked slowly back to Ci'an Palace, and when she returned, her whole body felt like it had been soaked in water.

Yu Luohan walked all the way to Ci'an Palace. He stopped involuntarily when passing the arch bridge. Looking at the riverbed that was visible to the bottom, he recalled the look Su Ci gave him at that time, and his heart felt sour and painful.

"Ah Ci, where are you?"

Come out, even if you have to beat him, scold him, or kill him with a knife, as long as you don't hide from him, anything is fine.

He didn't see her often in the palace before, and he didn't have this empty feeling. But now he felt like he had lost his soul, and it kept him awake at night.

He didn't dare close his eyes, as as soon as he did he would see Su Ci's hateful look.

I looked up at the sky and continued walking towards Ci'an Palace.

As soon as she entered the room, seeing no palace maids or eunuchs serving her, Wu Peiyi threw herself barefoot into his arms.

"Ahan, you finally came to see me. I was so scared. Every time I closed my eyes, I would dream about the desperate fear I felt in the water that day. I was so scared! So scared!"

The beauty Wu Peiyi shed tears, and the helplessness and weakness in her eyes would make any man want to hold the woman in front of him in his arms and protect her well.

Yu Luohan raised his hand but did not push her away, allowing Wu Peiyi to hold his waist tightly.

Wu Peiyi felt Yu Luohan's obedience, and the corners of her mouth rose slightly. In Ahan's heart, he still loved her the most!

Perhaps they were looking for Su Ci like a madman just to show off to others. After all, they needed the support of the ministers.

……

The eldest princess looked at the stack of silver bills in front of her, each with a denomination of one thousand taels, and sighed in her heart that she could actually earn so much money in one go.

Looking at Su Ci, he said, "Madam Su, you are too polite. I just did a little favor. There is no need to be so polite."

Su Ci smiled calmly: "It's just a piece of cake for the Grand Princess, but I have to put all my effort into it. I can only say that you are worth the price!"

The eldest princess raised her eyebrows and said, "We are in a cooperative relationship, so we should help and support each other."

Su Ci's expression remained unchanged: "The princess and I are indeed in a cooperative relationship. We had a pleasant cooperation yesterday, didn't we?"

The eldest princess laughed loudly, "So, I should get my fair share of the money."

Su Ci: "Of course! And I believe there will be more cooperation in the future, which will make the Grand Princess more wealthy!"

The eldest princess gently stroked the banknotes, feeling extremely proud. It seemed that she had made the right decision to return to Dongyong, as she actually met a brilliant partner like Su Ci. God was helping her!

Chunshui pushed the door open and walked in quietly, "Madam, Princess Changle has arrived. She is in the Hebi private room."

Su Ci nodded and looked at the eldest princess again: "Princess, if you have nothing to do, I will go to the next room to talk to Princess Changle first."

The eldest princess narrowed her eyes and looked at Su Ci. She was very satisfied with her frankness. They were next door, so she could hear any louder noises.

This was Su Ci's sincerity to her, letting her know the purpose of her meeting with Changle and his trust in her as a partner.

Su Ci stood up, bowed to her, and walked to the private room next door.

Princess Changle showed no surprise when she saw Su Ci, only disdain in her eyes.

"You are so brave that you dare to ask this princess to come to see you in person. Is it because of the water in the Imperial Garden that you have become stupid?"

Su Ci smiled as if she could not hear the wit in her words: "The water in the Imperial Garden can indeed refresh your mind. Princess Changle might as well give it a try!"

"Bold Su, how dare you despise the royal princess? What crime should you be punished for?" Princess Changle scolded harshly.

As she scolded, the palace maids and eunuchs who were accompanying her rushed forward and surrounded Su Ci. As long as Princess Changle gave the order, they would tie her up.

Su Ci still had her usual smile on her face. "Your Highness, please take a look at this first. If you still want to punish me after reading it, I am willing to accept the punishment."

A small booklet appeared in front of Princess Changle. It was not big, about the size of a palm, and was small and exquisite. Because it was closed, the contents inside could not be seen.

Princess Changle still had the same expression, but her hands did not stop. She took the booklet and started flipping through it.

His face changed when he saw the first page, and then it became darker the more he read. He looked up at Su Ci in panic.

"what do you mean?"

Su Ci: "I happened to hear some rumors that were unfavorable to the princess. The princess is of noble status, so she cannot be slandered casually. So I came to inform Her Highness, and Her Highness should make preparations early."

Princess Changle just stared at Su Ci, wishing she could see some different expression on her face.

Su Ci held her forehead with her hand, "It seems that the princess doesn't believe me, so please return the booklet to me, and pretend that I have never been here today. The princess just came here to drink a cup of tea and didn't see me."

Princess Changle gritted her teeth, "What do you want?"

She didn't believe that Su Ci would be so kind. Rather than saying that she was kind, she would rather believe that she had something to ask for.

"Princess, you are indeed smart. I do have something to ask for, but I really want to help you. You don't have to be hostile to me."

Princess Changle snorted coldly! "Just tell me! I will certainly grant you what I can promise."

She would feel at ease only if she had something to ask for. If Su Ci didn't want anything, she would be restless.

Su Ci took out another map, spread it on the table, and pointed to a certain place with his pale hand, "I want this place!"

Princess Changle looked over and couldn't help but look up at her in shock, "You want Jishan?"

Su Ci nodded, "Yes, I want to buy Jishan, please help me, Princess!"

Princess Changle looked at Su Ci again and didn't understand what she wanted to do with Jishan. Jishan was bitterly cold and the people lived in poor conditions. It was in her royal brother's fiefdom, so her royal brother's title was Jishan.

"You can change the conditions. I can't help you with this!" Princess Changle refused directly!
