Chapter 179 Xie Rou Enters the Palace
"I'll have a few guards from Prince Chen's Mansion escort you back. Don't be afraid. The person behind this definitely doesn't want to kill you. They must have other intentions. Don't leave the mansion for the next few days. Wait for my news."
"Thank you, Guiwan. I didn't tell Minghui about this for fear of scaring her. Please don't mention it in front of her." Su Qingyu said gratefully, and then reminded Yu Guiwan not to expose her secret in front of Ji Minghui.
"What's the thank you thing between you and me?"
Yu Guiwan smiled, a vague feeling of unease building within him. He immediately dispatched several people to escort Su Qingyu and Ji Minghui back. After watching them leave, Yu Guiwan went to find Xie Sui.
When she went over, Xie Rou had already left and Xie Sui was waiting for Yu Guiwan.
"Something happened? Beichu said you sent people to protect them."
"Get in the carriage and talk."
Yu Guiwan nodded and straightened his expression.
After getting on the carriage, Yu Guiwan told Xie Sui about what happened today.
"Nangong Yi?"
Xie Sui is now very sensitive to this name, especially when it comes from Yu Guiwan's mouth.
She nodded, "Qingyu told me that he found her and saved her." Yu Guiwan also asked Su Qingyu, there was no relationship between the two of them, why did he save her?
"Could it be that Nangong Yi has already chosen Xie Rou?"
"It shouldn't be. The Nangong family has been loyal to Your Majesty for so many years and will not betray you." Although Xie Sui had opinions about Nangong Yi, he still knew the loyalty of the Nangong family.
"That's strange. Why would Nangong Yi appear there for no reason?" Yu Guiwan frowned. Now that he said that, things became even more confusing.
……
royal palace.
As soon as Xie Rou left the hunting grounds, she didn't return to the Princess's residence but went to the Imperial Palace instead. Seeing Xie Rou coming, the Queen's companions immediately stepped forward and said, "This servant greets the Princess. Our Queen is waiting for you inside."
Xie Rou nodded, "Thank you for your help."
"You're too polite, Princess." The palace maid responded and walked in front to lead the way for Xie Rou.
The Queen saw Xie Rou coming over and looked at her with a smile, "My sister is here, please take a seat. My sister is just getting better, why would you bother to come here in person?"
"Thank you, Her Majesty, for your consideration." Xie Rou bowed and saluted before sitting down. "It's because I feel much better now that I came here to thank Her Majesty for the medicine. I might not be able to enter the palace again in my future."
Having said that, Xie Rou coughed twice again.
The queen asked with concern, "Why is my sister coughing again?" She looked at Xie Rou nervously, "Someone, go and ask the imperial physician to come over quickly." She immediately ordered the servants.
Seeing her going to such great lengths, Xie Rou quickly stood up to stop her, "No need to call the imperial physician. I'll be fine after I eat and take the medicine. Your Majesty, please don't bother with me."
"Today's food looks so good to me, but it won't taste good if it gets cold."
Xie Rou said as she sat down again and picked up a piece of food with her chopsticks.
"If you feel unwell, please tell me. Don't be so polite." The queen still respected the eldest princess. After all, she was the emperor's sister. Even though she was not his biological sister, she still respected her because she had helped the emperor before.
Plus, Xie Rou has a gentle personality, so it's easy to chat with her.
"Then I will definitely not be polite."
Xie Rou chuckled. After dinner, the Queen had fruit and tea served, and the two sat together to chat.
"By the way, there was a strange thing happening in the hunting ground today." Seeing that the time was almost right, Xie Rou finally mentioned the main reason why she came to the palace today.
Hearing the word "hunting ground", the queen immediately straightened her expression, "Could it be that Yong'an is in trouble again?" Hearing Xie Rou say this, she subconsciously thought that Xie Zhiyi was causing trouble again.
"No, Yong'an was very well behaved today. Although he didn't catch the most prey, he still came in second place." Xie Rou praised him, "Your Majesty, please don't think all the bad things about Yong'an."
Hearing Xie Rou praising Xie Zhiyi, the Queen's smile widened. Although the Queen knew her daughter was not worthy of the word "well-behaved", she was still very happy to hear it.
"Someone saw Master Nangong and Prime Minister Su's only daughter talking together today. Your Majesty, do you think they're about to get married?"
"The two of them?"
The queen asked back, and couldn't help but remember that on her birthday, Yu Feng mentioned in front of her that he had a woman he liked. Now it seems that it must be Prime Minister Su's daughter, right?
Otherwise, how could Yu Feng know Su Qingyu when he just returned to the imperial city? It seems that the woman he was talking about was Su Qingyu.
Thinking of Su Qingyu's talent, and the fact that her body had been cured by Master Chu Yue, and the fact that the Su family was a loyal and trusted family, a marriage between the two families would also be beneficial to the royal family.
"Could it be that the Queen knows about the two of them?" Xie Rou continued to ask.
The Queen shook her head. "I don't know anything about their affairs, but Yu Feng mentioned to me that he has a crush on someone. I think the woman he's talking about is Prime Minister Su's daughter."
Xie Rou curled her lips when she heard this, "That's really a good thing. The two of them are of similar age, and it's good for the country if the two families are on good terms." Xie Rou naturally knew what the queen was thinking and told her what she wanted to hear.
The Queen nodded. "Yes, if they are truly suitable, I think I should mention this to my parents and come to propose marriage as soon as possible. I didn't expect that they had known each other for a long time. When I asked him that day, he deliberately kept it a secret and even kept it a secret from me."
"Yes, don't delay the two children." Xie Rou echoed.

The next day.
The Queen summoned the Prime Minister's wife to the palace to talk. When Madam Su heard the news, she was stunned. Why would the Queen suddenly summon her to the palace? Su Qingyu was also a little worried after hearing this.
The Empress has never had any dealings with the Su family. What could be the reason she wants to see her mother at this time?
No matter how nervous she was, she had to go to the palace. Madam Su was nervous all the way there. It wasn't until she followed the palace maid into Fengyi Palace that she saw the Queen sitting in the hall with a gentle expression and a smile between her eyebrows.
Seeing this, Mrs. Su finally let go of her worries.
"Your Majesty, the Queen, is here to pay her respects." Madam Su knelt down and bowed deeply, speaking respectfully.
"Hurry up and get up." The queen said kindly, then turned around and ordered the maid, "Hurry and let Madam Su sit down."
"Thank you, Queen."
After thanking her, she sat down, lowered her head slightly, looked at the Queen, and asked, "I wonder why the Queen summoned me today? Please tell me clearly."
