Quick Travel: Saving the Cannon Fodder Male Supporting Role

Chapter 182 Cannon Fodder in the Empress’s Story (16)

Not two days after Ansheng's birthday, someone came to the palace.

Xiao Yan hurried to the main hall and saw the eunuch serving Concubine Li sitting in the hall drinking tea.

"Eunuch Pan, what do you want to say?"

Eunuch Pan smiled with a smile on his face and said in a sharp voice: "The Imperial Concubine has an order to invite His Highness Prince Tang and Miss Xia to come to the palace."

Xiao Yansui asked someone to give him some silver and asked, "Did the mother-in-law tell me what happened?"

Eunuch Pan calmly accepted it and said, "Didn't the Emperor say a few days ago that he wanted to choose concubines for all the princes? This must be the reason why the Queen has invited His Highness to enter the palace."

Xiao Yansui's heart suddenly tightened.

If he was just allowed to go, he could still think of ways to delay or shirk it, but the mother-in-law asked Shen Huan to go too, obviously because she knew about her existence and wanted to do something to her.

He wanted to find a reason to refuse, but Eunuch Pan said: "Your Highness, Prince Tang, the empress has not been very happy these past two days. Your Highness had better not offend the empress and make her unhappy again."

This was a bit of a slap in the face, so Xiao Yansui had to say: "I understand, thank you very much, Eunuch Pan, for your suggestion."

After passing the message, Eunuch Pan went back first.

It was still early and he had no excuse to shirk it. When Shen Huan heard that someone was coming from the palace, she naturally wanted to ask.

Shen Huan was heartbroken when she heard that Concubine Li wanted to see her. Concubine Li now placed all the weight of revenge and power on Xiao Yan. She could not accept Xiao Yan's defeat, but Xiao Yue raised two children by the emperor's side. Ten years later, she was now the crown prince personally named by the emperor. She had never planned for Xiao Yansui. Xiao Yansui had no real power at all, so how could she possibly defeat him?

The best way at the moment is to marry him a princess who can help him. Concubine Li may have found a candidate, and she heard about her existence from somewhere. She must be eager to get rid of her as a stumbling block.

Xiao Yansui said worriedly: "I'm afraid my mother will make things difficult for you. I'll go by myself. If someone wants to take you away, don't agree."

"She is a noble concubine, and now I am just your... mistress? If someone really comes to arrest me, will the people in the mansion dare to stop me?"

Xiao Yansui was immediately in a dilemma.

"I'll go with you. If she really wants to make things difficult for me, you can still help me talk."

"But."

Shen Huan stretched out his hand to pull the person up: "There's nothing good to do. Go quickly. She will send someone over later when she becomes anxious."

Xiao Yan was pulled into the carriage by her. The carriage swayed through the noisy streets and soon arrived at the entrance of the palace. After entering the palace, they walked for a while.

Concubine Li was Xiao Yansui's nominal mother, and there were no restrictions on entering and exiting her palace. The two of them soon met, and they also met the culprit of Concubine Li's knowledge of Shen Huan's existence.

Qiu Ran was kicked out of the house by Xiao Yan.

She used to be a maid in the palace, and it was quite easy to send a message to Concubine Li. When Concubine Li was in trouble, she originally wanted to find him a princess with a similar family background to help him fight for power with Xiao Yue.

Unexpectedly, he heard from Qiuran that he had brought back a brothel girl, and not only doted on her every night, but he also said in front of the people in the house that meeting the girl was like meeting the king of Tang Dynasty.

Concubine Li immediately couldn't sit still. She invited people into the palace for only one thing, and that was to get rid of the woman who blocked her path to revenge.

"My son, I pay my respects to my mother and concubine."

Shen Huan followed and bowed. Concubine Li stared at the two of them for a long time before letting them level.

She was dressed in a complex and gorgeous palace dress, covered with jewels, and looked graceful and luxurious. Although she was over forty, the years had not left many marks on her face. The grace she had received over the decades made her still beautiful to this day. There is a sense of coquettishness, and if you ignore the hatred and malice in her eyes, she is a spoiled woman.

"Yan'er, sit down."

She didn't give Shen Huan a seat, and Shen Huan didn't care. He just stood in the middle of the palace, not squinting. He was not as submissive as she imagined, nor was he arrogant.

"This must be Miss Xia." She said with a smile: "She is indeed as beautiful as a flower. No wonder Yan'er suddenly lost her heart and raised her head so that I could take a good look."

Shen Huan raised his head calmly and let her look at him.

This body is a candidate for the courtesan that the madam has raised for more than ten years. Needless to say her appearance and figure, coupled with Shen Huan's unique temperament, even Concubine Li doesn't believe that she is a brothel girl.

"Who is Miss Xia from?"

"A native of Ziyang, Shu."

The eldest maid next to Concubine Li said: "Speak before you reply, there are no rules at all."

Shen Huan said nothing.

Concubine Li seemed to have finished asking and looked at Xiao Yansui: "Yan'er, after all, this Miss Xia is the first woman to be with you. You should give her a legitimate position."

"Mother and concubine, I would like to..."

Concubine Li interrupted him: "Your princess will come over in a few days. She has to serve tea. It's hard to come out to meet people without a proper identity."

Xiao Yansui looked confused, but he was firm: "Mother and concubine, I intend to marry her as my wife. I will not marry anyone else as my princess. I hope my mother and concubine will make it happen."

"Snapped!"

The tea cup on the small table in front of Concubine Li was pushed to the ground by her and shattered on the ground. Everyone waiting in the palace knelt down, and Xiao Yan quickly stood up and bowed.

Only Shen Huan stood motionless.

"What did you say?" Concubine Li stared at him: "You want to marry her? A brothel girl, Xiao Tang, have you forgotten your last name? You are a prince, you want to marry a A brothel girl?"

"She is not Shen Huan." Xiao Yansui refuted Concubine Li for the first time in his life: "She is the person of my dreams, she came for me, and I have been waiting for her. I will not marry anyone except her. "

Concubine Li was so angry that she was shaking and pointed at him, but she couldn't say a word.

Xiao Yan seemed to have made some kind of determination, and continued: "It's not just her, but also the emperor's brother. I'm sorry that I can't obey my order. The emperor has never done anything wrong, and has never disobeyed his mother and concubine. Your ancestors The grudges should not be extended to him, it is unfair to him."

Concubine Li's own eyes were bloodshot. She ignored the fact that there were still palace people in the palace and shouted sternly: "It's unfair to him, but what does it mean to my child!"

"Originally, everything belonged to him. He should have grown up peacefully by my side. Even if he couldn't become the prince, at least he could always be with me. It was because of him that my child was killed by that vicious woman. , who is here to give me justice! Give justice to my children!"

She already looked crazy, with a sharp voice and a twisted expression. How could she still look like a concubine?

Everyone was frightened. Xiao Yansui lowered his head and did not dare to speak. The whole palace was so quiet that one could hear needles dropping.

Suddenly a sneer came: "If you think it's unfair, you can seek your own justice, so why force him?"

Seeing that it was Shen Huan, Concubine Li became even more angry: "Shut up, it's not your turn to speak here."
