Chapter 1023: Chapter 1023: The Crested Myna Luo Luo
Does Pei Huan not know of the extremely cruel and bloody methods there?
Let alone her, a woman entering, even those eunuchs who had made mistakes, it was rare for one to leave intact. Those who were innocent and went in, in the end also
The moment Su Pan’er mentioned Shangfang Si, Pei Huan’s face immediately turned pale. She could no longer conceal anything and quickly knelt on the ground, repeatedly kowtowing.
"Empress, spare my life, Empress, spare my life! Your servant knows her mistake, please spare your servant! It was Liu Changzai who had your servant deliver it and even promised and agreed to... It was not your servant’s own idea!"
She shouted loudly, and hurriedly continued to bang her forehead on the floor.
Liu Changzai?
Su Pan’er raised her eyebrows and thought for a long time before she remembered that the Liu Changzai mentioned by Pei Huan was none other than the adopted daughter of Liu Yankang, Liu Xuan’er.
Although she had only met Liu Xuan’er once, Su Pan’er’s memory of her was somewhat vague, only dimly remembering that the young girl appeared delicate and boneless, with a pair of large eyes that looked exactly like... exactly like whom? Su Pan’er suddenly became confused.
However, that wasn’t the point. The main issue was the water; she was well-versed in medicine and knew the water had been tampered with, containing a special colorless and odorless substance.
In small amounts, drinking this substance was not a big problem, but over the years, the accumulation would have a great impact on the five viscera and six bowels, gradually undermining a person’s health, causing someone who was originally healthy to fall ill without realizing it, not to mention her current state of already being ill.
If she drank this water, she feared it wouldn’t take long for her illness to worsen!
However, in the Imperial Palace, there must be more than one woman who wanted Su Pan’er dead. Why was it specifically Liu Xuan’er who was acting in the shadows?
"Liu Xuan’er? Do you dare to confront her?"
Pei Huan bit her teeth, but after a moment’s hesitation, she nodded.
"Your servant, your servant dares!"
"Good."
Pei Huan was taken away to Shangfang Si, but Su Pan’er didn’t send for Liu Xuan’er; instead, she dismissed her servants and rested by herself.
In a half-dream, half-awake state, Su Pan’er felt a familiar presence beside her. She didn’t open her eyes, but soon felt the bed sink down and a warm body pressed up against her.
Su Pan’er instinctively moved her body, trying to create some distance, but was strongly embraced from behind.
"Don’t move! Let me hold you for a while."
Qin Yi’s somewhat stuffy voice came from behind.
Su Pan’er’s eyelashes trembled slightly, but she did not open her eyes; she simply stopped trying to shake him off.
"Pan’er, I’m sorry for the hardship you’ve endured by my side..."
Su Pan’er did not move.
But suddenly, a warmth surged to her eyes.
An uncontrollable urge to cry welled up out of nowhere.
Qin Yi continued to talk to himself: "Pan’er, forgive me for my selfishness! I knew very well that you were uncomfortable living in the palace, that you have suffered by my side. Yet, I still cannot let you go. Even if you are angry with me, hate me, or tire of me, I still want you by my side. Whether we ascend to heaven or descend into hell, we must be together!"
His words were soft and slow.
Su Pan’er heard them clearly.
Silence spread between the two.
After a while, Su Pan’er suddenly turned over, moved a bit, and snuggled into Qin Yi’s embrace to continue sleeping deeply. A faint smile crept onto her lips.
Qin Yi wrapped his arms around her, stroked her face with a smile, and also closed his eyes.
The night passed without a word.
Su Pan’er woke up naturally from her slumber.
She stretched lazily and only then did she realize that Qin Yi had already gone to the morning court session, and unexpectedly, she hadn’t noticed his departure at all.
Jiu Lan had been waiting there with the wash and rinse set for a while.
"Empress, are you getting up now?"
"Yes, I am. Why didn’t you wake me when His Majesty left?"
Su Pan’er got up, allowing the Palace Maid by her side to help her wash and rinse.
When had it come to the point where she didn’t even notice someone getting out of bed right next to her? What had become of her vigilance towards others? Had it really vanished without a trace?
This change was not insignificant!
"To answer Your Grace, His Majesty said that after taking that medicine, you would be sleepy, and he instructed your servants to attend by your side and not to disturb your good rest," the maid reported.
Fine then! His word was always right!
Su Pan’er allowed Jiu Lan to help her dress and then turned to ask Qingwen, "Did the two princesses come by today?"
Before Jiu Lan could reply, a little girl’s laughter came from outside. Who else could it be, if not Little Yanyan?
"Empress Mother, Empress Mother!"
Little Yanyan ran in cheerfully, followed by a large group of attendants.
"Empress Mother, Yan Yan really likes Luo Luo. Empress Mother, can you give Luo Luo to Yan Yan to play with? Empress Mother, please, could you, could you?"
"Luo Luo? You’ve seen it."
Su Pan’er’s eyes flashed with understanding as she pulled Little Yanyan into her arms, noticing that her skirt hem was somewhat dirty and quickly bent down to tidy it for her.
Little Yanyan’s eyes were bright like stars twinkling in the night sky.
She kept shaking Su Pan’er’s arm, "Mother, Mother—let Yan Yan play with it, won’t you?"
In her eagerness to get the crested myna, Little Yanyan even reverted to past forms of address, all in an attempt to please her Mother.
Su Pan’er was shaken vigorously by her, but she wore a loving smile on her lips, and in her heart, she felt utterly helpless, "Why do you want it for playing? Just because that myna can talk? But the myna is also a small life, how can you just play with it?"
"Not to play with, Yan Yan just wants the myna to keep her company. Luo Luo talks really nicely! Empress Mother, please give it to me..."
Little Yanyan was persistent in her shaking.
"Alright, alright, alright, Empress Mother will let you take care of it for two days."
Su Pan’er still succumbed to her daughter’s tender entreaties and nodded in agreement, "However, you can only take care of it for two days. After two days have passed, Empress Mother will personally go to the side palace hall where you are staying, and take Luo Luo back. Is that okay?"
Children always have a period of fascination with new toys, and once the novelty wears off, they are discarded like old shoes, no longer of any interest.
"Yes! But... can’t you let Luo Luo be given to Yan Yan?"
Little Yanyan pouted, looking quite unhappy.
"You!"
Su Pan’er was amused by her all of a sudden, letting out a chuckle, then lightly tapped on her brow heart, "You child, where did you learn to talk like that? You can’t always ask for more and more, or where would anyone’s trustworthiness be? Think about it, is your mother right?"
"Alright, alright, alright."
Little Yanyan burrowed shyly into Su Pan’er’s embrace, but she was still worried about how the palace staff would handle things, "Empress Mother, have the Palace Maids take down Luo Luo’s cage quickly. Yan Yan has prepared a lot of millet, enough for Luo Luo to eat!"
Little Yanyan’s affection for the crested myna had surpassed even her love for food, which also gave Su Pan’er a bit of a headache.
