"How can you be so clear about her thoughts?" Su Qingwan looked into Mu Luoluo's eyes, as if she wanted to look directly into her heart.

"Are you jealous again?" Mu Luoluo couldn't help laughing, raised her hand and gently pinched Su Qingwan's cheek.

"That's not true." Su Qingwan slapped Mu Luoluo's hand off with a smile, "I was just thinking, you know so clearly, could it be that you feel the same way?"

Coincidentally entering the courtyard of Shangqing Palace at this time, Mu Luoluo suppressed her smile and stopped, quietly looking back at Su Qingwan, Su Qingwan didn't urge her, and met Mu Luoluo's eyes silently.

"No." Mu Luoluo smiled slightly, and reached out to hold Su Qingwan's hand, "Back when my mother passed away, you entered the palace again. Although all my thoughts were lost, I never thought about this life. Since then, I have planned to enter the palace to serve you One thing, even if the result is unknown, it can be regarded as something to look forward to."

"Luoluo..." Su Qingwan called softly.

"What about you?" Mu Luoluo asked with a smile.

"I..." Su Qingwan was interrupted as soon as she opened her mouth.

"Don't lie to me, I can tell." Mu Luoluo raised Su Qingwan's hand, and lightly stamped on the back of her hand.

"Yes." Su Qingwan smiled helplessly. At that time, she really felt that there was no hope of living. If it wasn't for the entire Su family behind her, and if her mother didn't often mention the current situation of the Mu family in letters, she might have already settled down.

The words have come to this point, there is no need to say more, Mu Luoluo's eyes showed a bit of desolation, what happened back then is also to blame, the day Su Qingwan went to the north, she was so angry that she kept her door shut, thinking about it now, if Su Qingwan really committed suicide regardless of the consequences In the end, I am afraid that I will be the same as Duanmu Beauty now.

Thinking of this, Mu Luoluo leaned close to Su Qingwan to kiss her, but Su Qingwan raised her hand and tapped her lips, Mu Luoluo blinked in confusion.

"Speaking of being jealous, this is the thing I'm most jealous of." Su Qingwan looked at Mu Luoluo pretending to be annoyed, "You didn't hide when Duanmu beauty rushed over just now. If it wasn't for Jin Qing's timely response, you would have been serious." Want to kiss her?"

"Of course not." Mu Luoluo laughed dumbfounded, but she almost forgot about it. How could he be such an indulgent person?"

"It seems to make some sense." Su Qingwan smiled, and before Mu Luoluo could react, she quickly pressed a bit on Mu Luoluo's lips, then moved lightly with lotus steps, turned around lightly, and entered the room with a smile.

"Hei Yao, go and invite Sister Ruan to come and tell me that I have made new tea and invite her to taste it." Just as Mu Luoluo opened the curtain and came in, Hei Yao backed out in response. Shang Hu Po was carrying a tea tray and was about to enter the door, but it seemed a bit crowded.

"You want to help her?" Mu Luoluo sat down opposite Su Qingwan, stretched out her hand pot, and poured herself a glass of water to moisten her throat.

"As the saying goes, send the Buddha to the west, since I have helped her once, this time is not bad." Su Qingwan sighed, "Besides, she has already asked, and there is no reason to refuse, right? In this palace, Besides me, who else can help her in this?"

"You have a kind heart." Mu Luoluo couldn't help complaining, "It's a felony for a concubine to kill herself. How do you plan to protect yourself when you help her suffer?"

"Of course, it can't be seen that I committed suicide. Don't worry, Miss Mu, even if I'm not good at business, I won't make a loss-making business." Su Qingwan smiled and said, "Where did Jin Qing go?"

"I was at the gate of the palace just now, and was summoned by Wang Bi." Hu Po replied.

"Alright, it's just what I want." Su Qingwan nodded, and took a sip from the teacup, "It's about time."

"Why did you suddenly think of this?" Mu Luoluo was puzzled.

"Beauty Duanmu is here today, thanks to Shu Cairen." Su Qingwan tilted her head and winked playfully at Mu Luoluo, "I am the same, let her go more comfortably."

"You." Mu Luoluo raised her hand, poked Su Qingwan's forehead lightly, and sighed dotingly.

"Huber, send someone to Xiyuan Pavilion to watch over these few days." Su Qingwan straightened her skirt, the clouds were calm and the wind was light, and Shu Cairen's arrogant days should be over.

·

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty has moved to Xiyuan Pavilion." Hu Po opened the curtain and came in, and said to Su Qingwan who was transcribing poems.

"I understand." Su Qingwan replied casually, then stopped writing, and looked at Mu Luoluo, "How is it?"

"It's very well written." Mu Luoluo nodded, "It feels a bit fierce."

"It's far worse than Miss Mu." Su Qingwan pursed her lips and smiled, and hung the wolf hair back on the pen stand. "Let's go, I think His Majesty has been approving papers all morning, and he is tired at this time. Let's go and show him a play."

·

"Your Majesty, please try this. This is a new snack made by my concubine. Do you like it?" Shucai brought the snack to the emperor's mouth with a smile on his face.

"You are pregnant, so you should not work hard. If you want to eat something, you can order it to the imperial dining room." The emperor took a half bite from Shu Cairen's hand, and signaled Shu Cairen to eat the rest.

"It's all right. I've lost my taste since I was pregnant. I just want to eat sour food." Shu Cairen lowered his head and smiled, gently stroking his stomach.

"Concubine Shu is here!"

"Why is Qingwan here?" The emperor was wondering when Su Qingwan helped Mu Luoluo's hand and came in.

"I didn't know that His Majesty was here, and offended His Majesty, I beg Your Majesty to forgive me." Seeing the Emperor, Su Qingwan feigned panic and saluted.

"Forgive your innocence, get up and answer." The emperor waved his hand, "You are weak, why did you come out suddenly?"

"Although the concubine is weak, she is still a first-rank imperial concubine. She should be self-disciplined and help the empress to restrain the six palaces." Su Qingwan replied, "I don't want to meet someone who deceives the Holy Majesty today, intending to exchange the civet cat for the prince!"

"What?" The emperor frowned, "How do you say that?"

"Shu Cai was never pregnant at all, but he lied to His Majesty by pretending to be pregnant, and at the same time secretly sent his confidants outside the palace to find a pregnant woman of the right age, with the intention of hiding the truth!" Su Qingwan didn't make any detours, and was straightforward.

"You're talking nonsense!" Shu Cairen stood up suddenly, staring at Su Qingwan firmly, "You are jealous that I am pregnant, and deliberately arranged for me!"

"Your Majesty is here today, just to be fair. Let's see if this Palace is arranging you." Su Qingwan sneered, and then ordered, "Bring me in!"

The emperor watched two women escorting a woman in without saying a word. As soon as the man entered, Shu Cairen's expression changed, and he involuntarily clenched the corner of the table.

"Your Majesty, a few days ago, the servant girl said that the durian flowers were in full bloom, and I thought about the doctor's order to move around more, so I went to the Imperial Garden to enjoy the flowers. I never expected to see this person sneaking outside the Xiyuan Pavilion." Hey, I took it on my own initiative, but I didn’t think it was Shu Cairen’s aunt.” Su Qingwan paused for a while, and glanced at Shu Cairen, only to see that the latter’s face was pale, “I’m so puzzled, I don’t know Shu Cairen’s aunt Why did you enter the palace, and why did you dare not go through the main entrance, but why did you want to walk around outside Xiyuan Pavilion?"

"You're talking nonsense! I don't know this person at all!" Shu Cairen stabilized his mind and retorted, "I don't know where Concubine Shu found this old woman to pretend to be my aunt. But to frame me, Concubine Shu is too bloody! Could it be that if I captured a man outside the Shangqing Palace, I can say that the empress is having an affair with a foreigner!"

"Stop talking nonsense!" Mu Luoluo scolded angrily.

"What Shu Cairen said is true." Su Qingwan raised her hand to stop Mu Luoluo, and smiled slightly at Shu Cairen, "If everything is not ready for this palace today, why would you come to this Xiyuan Pavilion rashly? Come here, bring it up !"

Shu Cairen glanced at the emperor in a panic, but saw that the latter did not show any anger on his face, but calmed down, and waited to see what Su Qingwan was going to do.

"After I caught this person, I couldn't believe that this was Shu Cairen's aunt, so I specially sent someone to her house in the capital, and I found the following letters." Su Qingwan waved her hand, and Jinqing raised the tray in her hand Over the top of his head, he knelt and walked in front of the emperor, "Please take a look at it, Your Majesty."

The emperor picked up the letter paper, glanced at it hastily, didn't know what he saw, and threw the paper directly on Shucai's face: "How do you explain it!"

Shu Cairen was caught off guard, and when the papers fell to the ground, he knelt down tremblingly and picked them up. After a few glances, he didn't dare to get up, and knelt down on the ground: "Your Majesty! Your Majesty, This is not written by my concubine! I have never had any secret correspondence with anyone, Your Majesty! Concubine, the letters sent home by my concubine are all official, and your Majesty is clear about this letter and this letter. The letter was definitely not written by my concubine! This old woman must have been persecuted by Concubine Shu, and she joined forces with her to frame me, Your Majesty, please learn from me!"

"It's strange what Shu Cairen said. I'm so good, why bother to frame you?" Su Qingwan chuckled, "Besides, the writing in black and white is clearly Shu Cairen's handwriting, so why frame it? "

"Your Majesty prefers willow style. Ever since I entered the palace, I have practiced hard willow style in order to cater to your majesty. No matter when and where, whenever I pick up a brush, it must be willow style. Your Majesty knows this!" Shu Cairen held the letter paper, Trembling slightly, "Look, Your Majesty, the person who wrote this letter clearly used italics! How could it be me who wrote it!"

"Shu Cairen usually learned willow style from me, and now he has achieved a little success." The emperor's face was sullen, showing no signs of happiness or anger, but what he said was actually in favor of Shu Cairen.

How did this Shucai person win the emperor's favor and allow the emperor to protect him again and again, Mu Luoluo couldn't help raising her eyes, glanced at Shucairen, and then lowered her eyes, full of doubts.

"Shu Cairen has always been diligent in learning and willing to practice. I really admire this point. It's just that Shu Cairen said that whenever he writes, he must be in willow style. I'm afraid he is deceiving the emperor." Su Qingwan didn't care about the emperor's attitude, and once again waved Waving her hand, Jin Qing took out another piece of letter paper from her pocket, "This letter is a letter sent home by Mrs. Shu Cai. If I'm not mistaken, the font on it is probably Xiaozhuan? Shu Cai Don't people say that when you write a pen, you must write it in a willow style?"

"I..." Shu Cairen was at a loss for words for a moment, unable to refute.

"If I remember correctly, in this palace, Concubine Xian's elder sister can write in regular script. It's a coincidence that Shucai lived in Zihua Palace for a long time. Could it be that he never asked Concubine Xian Ask for advice? If it doesn't work, why don't you invite Concubine Xian to confront her?" Su Qingwan looked at Shu Cairen with a half-smile.

"You!" Shu Cairen was about to refute, but Su Qingwan suddenly changed his tone.

"Forget it, if you just talk about the font, you really can't stand on your feet. Even if it's not written by Shu Cai, it can be written by a maid, which is not enough to prove it." Su Qingwan took half a step forward, and has been standing since entering the door. "Please Your Majesty take a closer look at the letter in your hand. It is a letter from Shucai to ask her natal family for help. It is also the reason why this aunt came to Beijing."

The emperor read the letter from the beginning to the end, his eyes were dim, and he ruthlessly arranged the letter paper on the table, and all the utensils on the table were shocked.Shucai was also shuddered in shock and almost lost his mind.
