Chapter 124: Su Lian miscalculates; Zhao Tai reveals his true feelings
Wei Yanwan took the sour almonds and tasted them. She had no appetite in the past few days, but after eating a few sour almonds, she suddenly felt some taste in her mouth.
Ruyi smiled and said nothing: "If you like it, I will ask the kitchen to make more and send it to you later."
Wei Yanwan: "Thank you, Imperial Noble Consort."
Gao Xiyue rarely became serious: "Sister, I have to let Doctor Jiang take care of me personally before I can feel at ease."
"Okay, we'll discuss it tomorrow when he comes to check his pulse."
Gao Xiyue nodded: "I can only feel at ease when my sister says everything is fine." She now regards Ruyi as her own sister.
Changchun Palace
Concubine Yi, Lady Jin, Imperial Concubine Kui and Imperial Concubine Pingchang arrived one after another.
They stood in front of the portrait of the late queen and observed a moment of silence for her.
After a long while, Su Lian wiped her tears and said, "You are all good friends with the late queen. Now I have doubts about the cause of her death. I would like to ask for your help."
Among those present, Concubine Yi was the one with the highest rank, but she did not speak.
Su Lian knelt in front of everyone, tears streaming down her face: "Princess Yi, have you forgotten? How did you have a miscarriage? How did you get bullied? It was the late queen who saved you from the fire."
"And Kui Changzai, it was the late Queen who pleaded for you when you were under house arrest. Have you all forgotten?"
Yipin and Kuichang exchanged a glance. Yipin leaned over and helped Sulian up. She said, "It's not that we don't want to help you. Look at all the people in this room. Their positions are all here. What can you use to fight against the Imperial Noble Consort and the others?"
"We all know that the last person the late queen saw was the Imperial Noble Consort. No one knows what happened between them."
"Qing Changzai, I advise you not to be stubborn anymore. The dead cannot be resurrected. Even if you find out the truth, what good will it do? The late queen will not be resurrected."
Su Lian shook her head desperately. She grabbed Yipin's arm and said, "As long as you are willing to help me, I will definitely give justice to the late queen."
"But now we can hardly protect ourselves." Kui Changzai said.
Pingchang also nodded: "If there is nothing else, I will leave first."
Jin agreed and shook his head repeatedly: "I told you a long time ago that they are fence-sitters, but you still refuse to believe it."
Su Lian wiped her tears, straightened her back, and said confidently, "Humph, if they are useless, then I will do it myself."
Zhao Yitai's heart skipped a beat. She wanted to do it herself? What for? Was she going to win favor herself?
"Since you have made up your mind, I will not try to persuade you anymore. You can do whatever you want." Jin agreed and turned around to bow to the portrait before leaving.
Zhao Yitai was really anxious this time. He grabbed Su Lian's arm and asked, "Do you want to sleep with me?"
Su Lian's eyes were firm, and she nodded: "Yes."
"You're crazy. Concubine Yi is right. The late queen is gone. The truth is no longer important..."
"No!" Su Lian roared and shook off his hand. "No, I will not let go of the person who harmed the late queen. Even if I die, I don't care."
Zhao Yita hugged her. He used to suppress his emotions, but now Su Lian was on the verge of life and death.
Su Lian struggled: "Let go!"
Finally, she was too tired to struggle and let him hold her.
When she calmed down, he said, "Just listen to me and don't hurt yourself, okay?"
"I just don't want the Queen to go without knowing the reason."
Zhao Yitai: "I know, I know, but we can't rush things. Let's take it slow, okay? Let me protect you."
