Shengjing Noble

Chapter 677 Bringing them together

If it were normal, she could hold on, but today was the first day of her period and she was particularly weak.

Since giving birth, her health has not been as good as before.

Every time I have my period, the pain is unbearable and I can only rely on needles or medicine to relieve the pain.

The Queen winked at her, and Concubine Yao smiled and said, "I heard that the concubine of Prince Xiaoyao had been to the Pirate Island. Is this true or not?"

Su Lanyin heard this and answered with all her might: "I have indeed been there, but..."

She tried to explain but was interrupted.

Xiangpin smiled and said loudly, "The pirate island is full of vicious people. It's conceivable how dangerous it is for a concubine to enter alone, right?"

Several ladies nearby also echoed: "Yes, I heard that women who were captured and taken to the pirate island would be subjected to all kinds of abuse. I wonder if it's true or not?"

Su Lanyin's face became paler and cold sweat broke out on her forehead. Her legs were trembling slightly as she half-knelt, and she could hardly hear what they were saying.

Seeing her like this, everyone thought they had hit her sore spot and laughed even more maliciously.

"Why does Concubine Su look like this? Could it be that something bad has happened to her?"

"Then you must tell the Queen, she will definitely make the decision for you."

"Those pirates should indeed be severely punished. Concubine Su must be a witness, right?"

"How about Concubine Su, tell us how you were humiliated, and the Queen will avenge you."

……

Su Lanyin was already feeling dizzy and was thinking of just lying on the ground and pretending to be unconscious, perhaps this group of people would let her go.

Just as I was thinking this, I heard the Queen say in a deep voice: "Concubine Su, what do you mean by this expression? Are you so impatient to pay your respects to me? If you pretend to faint, don't blame me for punishing you for being disrespectful in front of the palace."

Hearing this, Su Lanyin didn't dare to fall down and could only continue to hold on.

Because of the former crown prince, the grudge between the queen and her was so deep that it could not be resolved.

If she catches me today, it will be difficult to escape.

Su Lanyin took a deep breath, then looked up at the queen, and said with all her strength, "Your Majesty, I went to the Pirate Island and not only successfully rescued my third brother, but also rescued a large number of innocent people and islanders who were persecuted by pirates."

"Not only that, I destroyed the pirate city and handed over all the pirates involved to the local islanders for disposal. Afterwards, the King of Southern Xinjiang also sent troops to regain control of the island."

"So, there is no need for you ladies to worry. I believe that the emperor has already received the memorial sent by the King of Southern Xinjiang and knows about the contributions I have made on the Pirate Island."

After he finished speaking, the whole place fell silent, and the queen's face became extremely ugly.

"Really? Concubine Su is really amazing. She actually took down the entire Pirate City by herself. She is worthy of being the most beautiful woman in Shengjing. I believe this beauty trap played a big role in this."

The other concubines quickly followed her lead.

"Yes, Concubine Su is so beautiful, as long as she seduces the Pirate King and takes the opportunity to poison him, wouldn't it be possible?"

"Who wouldn't say it? I really envy Concubine Su for her courage and strategy, and her willingness to take risks."

"I heard that the pirate king is ugly, covered with sores, and seems to have syphilis..."

"Tsk, tsk, tsk... Concubine Su is so weak, could she be infected with some disease?"

……

Everyone immediately showed disgust on their faces, as if Su Lanyin was some disgusting fly.

The queen even called the palace servants: "Come here, hurry up and burn some Atractylodes lancea and mugwort around Concubine Su to get rid of the dirt."

The palace servants immediately brought two incense burners and placed them next to Su Lanyin, then lit them and fanned the smoke towards her face.

"Cough cough..."

Su Lanyin was choked and couldn't breathe, but fortunately the mugwort could relieve her menstrual pain.

So she turned her head to the side where the mugwort was burning and endured it silently.

Just wait till later...

At this time, in the bedroom of Cining Palace.

The empress dowager sat in front of the dressing table with her eyes closed, while Nanny Yang helped her comb her hair while telling her about the situation outside.

"Queen Mother, do you want to go out and take a look? I am worried that the concubine can't bear it."

"She is also a martial artist and is very strong. It won't be a problem for her to kneel for a while."

"But the queen and her friends went even further and even lit the incense burner."

The Queen Mother slowly opened her eyes: "Is Wu Yang not here yet?"

"The prince is in the court right now, I'm afraid he can't come over."

"Send someone else to invite him, and try to get him to come."

"I have asked Xiao Yingzi to wait outside the palace. If he can talk to the prince, he will definitely come back."

"Well, let's wait a little longer."

"Can you bear to see Miss Lanyin suffer this injustice?"

"So what if I can't bear it? I have to let her suffer a little so that I can give them two a chance."

"Are you trying to bring her and the prince together?"

"What else can I do if I don't match them up? I'm old now, and I don't want to worry about them, but when Concubine Rong died, I promised to take good care of Wu Yang for her. Now I can't watch him become depressed because of a woman."

"Moreover, I can see that Su Lanyin is not without feelings for Wu Yang. If they missed each other because of some trivial things, I am afraid that when they reach my age, they will die with regrets."

Upon hearing this, Nanny Yang didn't know what to say.

"Then I will think of a solution."

After saying this, Nanny Yang handed the comb to the palace maid next to her and left the Cining Palace.

……

The Golden Palace.

Fu Wuyang stood under the great hall, feeling a sense of uneasiness in his heart.

He looked back absentmindedly toward the palace door and found Xiao Yingzi, who was beside the Queen Mother, looking at him at the door with anxiety in her eyes.

Suddenly, something occurred to him.

The Queen Mother wants to see Su Lanyin. Could it be that she has summoned her into the palace today?

Calculating the time, the Queen and others are also paying respects in the Cining Palace... Did something happen to Su Lanyin?

He suddenly couldn't stand still, and then looked at the emperor with a look of request in his eyes.

The emperor seemed to understand and nodded slightly to show his permission.

Fu Wuyang immediately moved aside and left through the side door.

When Xiao Yingzi saw him coming out, she hurried forward and said, "Oh no, my lord!"

"what happened?"

"The concubine is being harassed by the queen and others in the Cining Palace. Please go and take a look."

"Where's the Queen Mother?"

"The Queen Mother has just woken up and hasn't dressed yet. You should go over there faster."

Fu Wuyang didn't wait for him to finish speaking and immediately ran towards the Cining Palace.

……

Su Lanyin couldn't stand the fumes and her body couldn't help but tilt. She tried to support herself with her hands, but accidentally knocked over the incense burner and her palm pressed on the sparks.

"hiss……"

She fell to the ground, covering her burned palms. Anger flashed in her eyes, and she wanted to kick over another incense burner.

The queen waited for a long time and finally got this opportunity.

The corner of her mouth curled up into an evil smile, and then she slammed the table and shouted angrily: "How dare you! How dare you knock over my glass incense burner? Do you know your crime!"
