Chapter 150 Causing Trouble
Although Minister Wang was unwilling, he had to obey the order and step down under the influence of reason.
The huge rock in Su Rao's heart finally fell to the ground, the storm subsided temporarily, and she was able to find temporary peace.
Just as she was about to leave and walked to the door of the side hall, she ran into Tang Rui unexpectedly.
Tang Rui seemed to be waiting here intentionally. The two were a few steps apart. He bowed deeply to Su Rao, his eyes full of apology and self-blame.
Su Rao knew very well where Tang Rui's guilt came from.
But she firmly believed that every wrong has its perpetrator and that Tang Rui was an upright man, and he must have been coerced by the Wang family.
Under the oppression of the Wang family's power, what can Tang Rui, the Dali Temple Secretary, do?
Now that he has lost his job, his situation is even more difficult.
Su Rao responded with a warm smile, demonstrating her understanding of Tang Rui through her actions.
Tang Rui nodded slightly, then turned and left, looking lonely.
Su Rao continued walking and returned to the eldest princess's palace.
As soon as she entered the room, the lively Su Yi rushed over impatiently and hugged her tightly. The eldest princess smiled helplessly and said, "If I hadn't stopped her, your sister would have rushed to the outside of the Golden Palace to wait for news. I said that good people will be rewarded in the end. You will be fine."
There was warmth and relief in the eldest princess' voice.
Su Rao felt that all the tension and vigilance in her body completely collapsed at this moment. She gently patted her sister Su Yi's back, her movements gentle and full of love.
"Sister, I'm fine." Su Yi's voice was choked with sobs, but also full of relief.
Su Rao's lips curled up into a smile, "That's great, I'm glad you're okay, I'm glad you're okay."
Tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday, so Su Rao specially stayed in the eldest princess's magnificent palace.
The night fell and everything was silent, but her mood flickered like the swaying candlelight outside the window.
The scenes from the daytime replayed in my mind over and over again. The connection between the mysterious imperial teacher and the jade flute in his hand was very inspiring.
Is there any unknown entanglement between him and Prince Yi?
Su Rao couldn't help but wonder, was the imperial teacher's help only because of Prince Yi?
As for Prince Yi, her heart was filled with an urgency to find his whereabouts. Even the slightest clue could bring some peace of mind to her anxious heart.
In this quiet night, she longed to catch any news about him, even the faintest hope.
At the same time, in the Shangshu Mansion.
The lights in Lord Wang’s mansion were bright, but they could not cover up the noise and chaos inside.
"How could this happen? Why would Your Majesty help that despicable villain? Master, is Your Majesty too old and confused? Isn't it time to consider enthroning a new emperor?" Mrs. Wang's words were full of anger and unwillingness.
Upon seeing this, Minister Wang quickly reached out and covered his wife's mouth, with a flash of panic in his eyes, "Madam, you can't say this casually. If it gets out, it will be a capital crime!"
Madam Wang struggled and whimpered until deep teeth marks were left on the back of Shangshu Wang's hand. He then let go of her hand and warned her with a complicated look, "Madam, be careful with your words. Be careful."
Then he put on an almost begging expression, trying to calm his wife.
Although Mrs. Wang is Shangshu Wang's cousin, she is deeply loved by Shangshu Wang's mother.
Old Mrs. Wang had a strong personality and attached great importance to filial piety, which made Shangshu Wang both respectful of his mother and wary of his wife.
"I'm right. Apart from the King of Qi, who else can inherit the throne?"
She muttered in a low voice, with a firm look in her eyes, "If the King of Qi ascends the throne, he will definitely not let our Wang family suffer such humiliation..."
Upon hearing this, Shangshu Wang sighed softly, his eyes full of helplessness: "Who doesn't want this, but reality is always contrary to one's wishes. We should keep a low profile and not offend His Majesty."
"Are we just going to let it go like this? Has my son's revenge been sacrificed in vain?" Mrs. Wang's eyes were red and tears were welling up in them.
"Of course we can't let it go. The murderer must be severely punished. As for the girl from the Su family, it shouldn't be difficult to find a suitable reason to teach her a lesson." Minister Wang pondered for a moment and put forward his own idea.
Mrs. Wang thought about it carefully and felt that this was a feasible plan.
"Tomorrow is the Queen Mother's birthday banquet. The Queen Mother has always disliked that girl. I will take this opportunity to teach her a lesson and let her feel that life is worse than death!" Mrs. Wang's eyes were determined.
……
The next morning, inside Shoukang Palace.
As the sky turned pale, Su Rao and Su Yi entered the palace.
The empress dowager was surrounded by Princess Qi, Madam Huo, Madam Wang, and Huo Chengjun, who was favored by the empress dowager and became the target of public criticism because of the many rewards she received.
"That night-shining pearl comes from the Sea Country and is unparalleled in the world. Your Majesty was originally going to present it to the Queen Mother personally at the birthday banquet, but now it has fallen into the hands of Miss Liang. How enviable." Several noble women whispered, their tone full of jealousy.
"Miss Liang is not only Mrs. Huo's favorite, but also favored by Aunt Imperial Concubine, Princess Qi, and the Queen Mother. She is truly the one who has received so much love." Another person added, his words full of envy.
"We can only watch from afar and dare not even think about such a generous gift."
Su Rao and Su Yi were pushed to the edge by the crowded crowd. Not only did they not get any rewards, they didn't even have the chance to see the treasures.
The Queen Mother seemed particularly happy in the company of Huo Chengjun and Princess Qi.
However, Huo Chengjun's patience did not last long. She was tired of accompanying the elderly empress dowager and had other plans in mind.
It is said that there is a young talent in the palace recently who is highly regarded by the emperor. He is not only knowledgeable and able to predict the future, but also has outstanding looks, making him the dream lover of many women.
Huo Chengjun decided to find an opportunity to get close to this mysterious figure and verify the authenticity of the rumors, so she left the Queen Mother's side under the pretext of something.
Madam Wang and Princess Qi devoted themselves to the preparations for the birthday banquet. As the Queen was in poor health, the responsibility of the birthday banquet fell on the shoulders of Concubine Wang. As Concubine Wang's relatives, they naturally had an obligation to do so.
In a blink of an eye, the area around the Queen Mother became empty, and an old maid quietly reminded her, "Your Majesty, the affairs of the Wang family have made His Majesty unhappy. You should not be too partial to the people of the Wang family."
Even though the Queen Mother had deep feelings for the Wang family, especially the Prince of Qi, and thought that there was nothing wrong with being close to them, it was indeed inappropriate for her to give the precious night-shining pearl to Huo Chengjun, as she completely ignored the feelings of His Majesty.
"I just think that the night pearl is more suitable for young people to wear, and I haven't thought about anything else..." The Queen Mother frowned and spoke with regret.
The old nanny sighed. Her master was straightforward and acted according to her own preferences. This was not only the capital for her to secure her position as the Queen Mother, but also the reason why His Majesty could trust her.
However, sometimes being too casual can also cause trouble.
