Fast wear: lying down life, so delicious

Yilan Palace

He Xin couldn't help but stop, an inexplicable sense of nervousness surged in his heart, and his originally confused mind suddenly became clear.

She raised her head and her eyes fell on the gorgeous and solemn gate of Yuehua Palace, as if she could see it shining brightly in the sun!

Thinking back on everything that happened today, she couldn't help but think of the Crown Prince who did not appear in Zhongcui Palace, and Concubine Yun who was rumored to be pregnant with triplets.

He Xin lingered outside the palace gate for a long time, hesitating. Finally, she made up her mind, took a deep breath, and slowly walked towards the palace gate. She whispered to the guard, "Please inform her that I want to see Concubine Yun."

"Mr. He?" Su Yun couldn't remember who it was for a moment.

"Yes, Mr. He from Qixiang Palace is outside the palace gate now!" Green-clothed man reported.

"The one who entered the palace with me back then, He Xin, the younger sister of the Dali Temple Shaoqing of Qixiang Palace, He Liangren! The one who took refuge with Concubine Gao!"

After the system reminded him, Su Yun remembered who He Liangren was. Why did she come here at this time?

"Let her in!"

Su Yun gave some instructions to Crown Prince Yuwen Che, asking him to stay in his room and practice calligraphy, while she went to the reception room to meet He Xin.

He Xin knelt in the center of the hall and spoke nervously, "Empress Yun, I am honored to meet you."

At this time, Su Yun was sitting dignifiedly above, with an indifferent look in his eyes, and he spoke softly: "I heard that you insisted on meeting me. I wonder what you want to discuss with me?"

He Xin had a flattering smile on her face and answered respectfully, "I learned that Your Majesty is about to give birth, so I came here to pay my respects. Your Majesty is pregnant, and you must be very tired!"

Su Yun elegantly picked up the teacup beside her, took a sip, and then slowly said: "It is my honor to give birth to a son for the emperor. How dare I complain about the hardship?"

She put down the teacup, glanced at He Xin, and continued, "If my sister is alright, I feel a little tired and need to rest for a while, so I won't keep my sister any longer."

Seeing Su Yun was about to send the guest away, He Xin hurriedly said, "That's not the case!" She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to state her purpose, "Sister, your pregnancy has been difficult, and I hope to share some of your worries!"

After hitting a wall with the Imperial Concubine, she unconsciously came to the gate of Yuehua Palace. Standing outside the palace, she had already thought it over.

At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind - as long as she could get the emperor's favor, she would pay any price!

He Liangren's flattering expression was like a beautiful flower, while Su Yun's indifferent tone was like a calm lake, without the slightest fluctuation.

"Sister, you worry too much. I don't have any worries to share with others!" Su Yun turned a blind eye to He Xin's overtures. This fence-sitter will lean towards whichever side he chooses.

He Xin's face froze there, and turned pale in an instant. She didn't expect that Su Yun didn't even say a polite reply, but directly rejected her.

He Xin was rejected repeatedly, and thinking back to her previous experiences, she really didn't want to return empty-handed.

Today, she entered Yuehua Palace, which was equivalent to abandoning Concubine Gao. If Concubine Yun did not accept her, her situation after leaving would only be worse! Concubine Gao would not let her go easily.

When he thought of this, He Xin couldn't help but shiver.

He Xin's face was pale, she knelt on the ground, and hurriedly expressed her loyalty: "Please have mercy on me, Your Majesty! I am willing to serve you. If you have any orders, I will not refuse even if I die."

Concubine Yun was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Then you should prove your loyalty first."

He Xin kowtowed and said, "Thank you, Madam. I will do my best."

Concubine Yun raised her lips slightly and said, "Step back. I'll see how you perform in the future."

He was overjoyed and left after thanking him repeatedly.

"Master, why did you agree to He Liangren?" Hongxiu frowned and looked at Su Yun in confusion. She really couldn't understand why Su Yun would agree to help He Xin, a two-faced and evil-minded woman.

"What did I promise?" Su Yun looked calm. He picked up the cup in front of him, took a sip, and then asked lightly.

"Didn't the master promise Mr. He to introduce her to the emperor?" Hongxiu thought Su Yun had forgotten what she said and answered foolishly.

"Where did I say that I would introduce Mr. He to the Emperor?" Su Yun couldn't help laughing out loud, thinking that Hongxiu was really silly.

"But..." Hongxiu wanted to say something but didn't know where to start. She could only stand there blankly, looking confused and at a loss.

"Okay, I know what I'm doing. You don't have to worry." Su Yun comforted her. She knew Hongxiu was genuinely concerned about her master, but sometimes she was too naive and easily misled by appearances.

"Yes, master." Although Hongxiu still had doubts in her heart, she responded obediently and said no more.

Su Yun narrowed her eyes slightly, and recalled the conversation with He Xin in her mind. Of course, she would not easily believe He Xin's words, let alone help her introduce the emperor.

However, the appearance of He Xin made her realize that Concubine Gao's alliance of forces was not seamless.

The world is bustling with people all seeking profit, and all alliances must be profitable to be as stable as Mount Tai.

Without sufficient interests, the alliance will be as fragile as paper and will not be able to last long.

The former noble concubine Gao was in great glory and enjoyed unlimited glory.

She holds Yuwen Ze's only child in her hands, is deeply favored by the emperor, and has the support of her brother who commands a large army outside the palace. Such a status is enough for her to call the shots and act tyrannically in the palace.

However, times have changed, and today's Concubine Gao is no longer the beloved concubine.

The emperor now only has hatred for her and wishes to cut her into pieces; and her brother Gao Yunhu has been repeatedly demoted by Yuwen Ze, and his former glory and wealth are gone forever.

To make matters worse, his brother's military power had been taken away by General Wu during the war with the Northern Di, and now even his only daughter had become a useless pawn.

In this situation, will the people around her still be as loyal as before?

I'm afraid she's just like He Xin, trying to find her own way out. Concubine Gao has already been alone.

Su Yun thought thoughtfully.

"Ah! Help!"

Just as Su Yun was lost in thought, He Xin's scream was heard outside Yilan Palace.

Su Yun was startled and asked Hongxiu to go and check it out. She turned around and went into the room to find Crown Prince Yuwen Che.

“Prince, Prince, Che’er!”

The prince also came out of the room upon hearing the sound and saw his mother walking towards him hurriedly.

He hurried over to greet her, "Don't worry, mother, I'm here!"

He walked quickly to Su Yun's side and supported her with his small body.
