TV Series: When the Villain Chooses to Stand by

"Look at you, you're such a coward. The Queen is not that petty. Since we can't solve it, let's find someone who can."

"are you going?"

"Go! Go! Go……"

When Su Lujun saw Gao Xiyue getting anxious, she quickly stood up. With the imperial concubine there, even if the queen was angry, she could be coaxed.

After instructing the wet nurse to look after the child, the two of them hurried towards Changchun Palace.

When the two arrived at Changchun Palace, they found Langya jumping rope with several little princesses in the corridor.

The little eunuchs stood at both ends holding the ropes. Even though it was so cold outside, they were having fun.

"Sister, I'm holding it down, come in quickly!"

Jingluo jumped the highest, stepped firmly on the line and pressed it down, calling her sisters to join her.

"How is this still cheating?"

"The Empress Dowager is the best. You are an adult now, please give way to us!"

No one except Jingluo could reach this height, but they joined forces and boasted that they must defeat Langya today.

He also picked out an ancient painting from her study as a prize.

"Okay, but this is just for once. If we go any higher, we'll have to rely on our own abilities."

Langya couldn't resist the little girl's coquettishness and agreed immediately.

"Okay, Empress Dowager is the best!"

"Your Majesty, the Queen, be respectfully wished you good health."

After the ceremony, Gao Xiyue tapped Jingluo's forehead without any hesitation.

"I was wondering why Xianfu Palace was so eerily quiet today. Didn't you say you were going to Qixiang Palace with your sisters to see the Fourth Prince? Why did you end up here?"

"Mother, we went to check on him, but he hasn't woken up yet, so we came here."

Jingluo touched her forehead and frowned unhappily. She was already a sister, why did her mother still touch her like this?

"Let's talk inside. We're a little hot from all the activities. Don't get caught in the draft here."

Langya held Jingxi and Jingyu in each hand and walked inside.

The little ones were taken to wash up. Langya sat down and handed her hand warmer to Gao Xiyue.

"Use this, it's warm."

Then he asked, "Why are you two free to come here together today? Is there something going on?"

If it was just a normal chat, they wouldn't have come over in such a hurry.

"Your Majesty is truly amazing! Concubine Chun has something to tell you."

Gao Xiyue habitually started by praising Langya, and then gave Su Lujun an encouraging look.

He raised his chin to signal her to speak quickly.

There was no room for regret now. Su Lujun gritted her teeth and told everything about herself.

"Let's sit down and talk. There's no need to do this in private."

Langya spoke up to stop Su Lujun from kneeling.

"Your Majesty, I swear on the back of your children that I will follow you wholeheartedly and without second thoughts."

"I hope the Queen can show me a clear path."

Su Lujun suppressed her anxiety and grievances and waited quietly for Langya's judgment.

She had served carefully over the years and had won the Empress's approval. If she angered the Empress because of this, she would...

"This matter is easy to solve. Do you have any ideas?"

"Do you want them to give up this idea? Or do you want to clean up the mess once and for all so that they will obey you in everything from now on?"

Langya took the peeled orange from Gao Xiyue, pinched a slice and put it into her mouth.

She liked Su Lujun's reaction very much. If there was a problem, she would just speak it out and solve it.

Instead of thinking about it alone, offending everyone, and finally causing a lot of trouble, and then telling herself that she had her own difficulties.

Su Lujun was stunned by what Langya said, and hesitated to speak: "Is there any difference between these two?"

"Of course. It's easy to just dissuade them from thinking this."

"Just spread the word that the Queen has many spies and their plans have been exposed. Then act extremely anxious and ask them to find a way to protect you and the children."

"If the Fucha family puts a little trouble on them, they will naturally stop."

Of course, all this is based on the fact that Langya and the Fucha family are powerful enough. If one day their strength is not enough to suppress the other party.

Such suppression will only have a counterproductive effect.

A hint of determination flashed in Su Lujun's eyes. She didn't want to continue like this.

I can ask the Empress for advice this time, but what about the future?

What if they make other requests in the future? Goodwill will eventually run out.

"My Lady, if I want them to obey me from now on, what will I have to pay?"

Gao Xiyue paused while eating melon seeds and looked at Su Lujun in surprise.

I didn't expect the other party to have such an idea.

Langya was not surprised at all, because honest people are not born to be indifferent to competition.

Apart from nature, it is more of a compromise with the environment.

She has no control over anything around her, yet she has enough food and clothing. In the eyes of others, any objection is ungrateful.

If this goes on for a long time, you will naturally become what people call an honest person.

"I don't need you to pay anything. Getting to know each other is just a piece of cake for me."

"What's more, you choose to trust me, which makes it worth my help."

"Thank you for your guidance, Your Majesty. I will keep it in mind."

"If you want them to listen to you, you have to make them suffer first. Think carefully."

Su Lujun is not someone who can't tell good from bad, so she naturally knows the importance of the matter.

"I understand that you can't catch a wolf without sacrificing your child, and a man cannot achieve success without suffering. I can accept this point."

Since she started receiving letters from home urging her to do so, Su Lujun's heart has become increasingly hardened.

Maybe her father and brother cared about her, but they valued power more.

If that's the case, no wonder she's so cruel.

Now that she has a child, she has to think about her future.

"Okay, before the caravan, you kicked your family out. Now everything is mature and there are many people rushing to do the work. You don't have to share so much of your profits."

Su Lujun listened attentively with her ears perked up, and she was very happy about it.

She was envious of the things Chen Wanyin saved for Jingyu, and she wanted her own daughter to have them too in the future.

"Don't worry about them making trouble. The initiative is in your hands."

"Few officials have clean hands. They find some minor crimes and bring them before the emperor."

"Don't rush to beg for mercy. Go and plead guilty first. Wait until they are afraid and desperate before taking action. Let them know that you are the family's support, not a puppet."

A hint of hesitation appeared on Su Lujun's face.

Langya sneered, "What's wrong? Are you reluctant? Or are you afraid of problems?"

"No, no." Su Lujun quickly shook her head to deny it. She was just a little scared.

"Empress, will this... foster their ambitions? What should we do if they become even more reckless in the future?"

"I'm going to plead for mercy, will the emperor listen?"

Su Lujun has made some progress over the years. Since Yongzhang was born, she has been constantly bewitched by someone. After so many times, she has become alert.

She always reminds herself to do her duty, and can be said to be the first person in the harem to suppress herself.

"Ha ha!"

Langya couldn't help laughing. She thought she was quite kind. Why did Su Lujun brainwash her so much that she had no confidence?

"You underestimate yourself too much. As a concubine with two sons and a daughter, you are not a dispensable person in the emperor's heart."

"They will definitely investigate after this is over, and if it is inadvertently revealed then, it will be you who is manipulating all this."

"They have the courage to force my daughter and sister. Then let them know that you are now the Pure Concubine who can control their life and death."

“Only by experiencing it yourself can the fear be etched into your bones.”

There was a hint of temptation in Langya's voice as she fed the other person the food.

If Su Lujun still knelt, there was nothing she could do.
