Chapter 61 Pressure
At noon the next day, Su Jiu woke up slowly.

Baoqin has been waiting anxiously beside Su Jiu. Seeing Su Jiu open her eyes, she hastily helped her up and handed her a glass of water. "Your Highness, you scared the slaves to death yesterday!"

"How's the matter? What did the emperor say!" The first thing Su Jiu did when he woke up was to ask Baoqin if everything was within her expectations.

"De Hua was imprisoned in Dali Temple by His Majesty, and Concubine Hua was also removed from the title of Noble Concubine and sent to the cold palace to await trial." Baoqin explained the situation to Su Jiu in a few words, "Your Highness, we walked around on the verge of life and death. It’s been rewarded.”

The little eunuch was asked to give Dehua the token of Concubine Hua, the original intention was to let Dehua escape from the cold palace, and the emperor sent the imperial guards to pursue him so that he would be executed in a fair and honest manner.

Unexpectedly, instead of leaving the palace, Dehua ran to Fengqi Palace and set fire to it under the moonlight.

Seeing that the fire was getting bigger and bigger, Su Jiu followed suit, took the poison, and blamed the remaining poison on Concubine Hua.

This time, Su Jiu must photograph these two people on the beach.

"As long as people are not dead, there is a chance to turn around." Su Jiu knows how soft-hearted her good father is. Yesterday her life was in danger, and father didn't kill the two of them on the spot. How can she know that she woke up? If so, the Concubine Hua and her like may still have the potential to make a comeback.

Fortunately, during the period when she acted as an agent to supervise the government, she had won over many officials from the DPRK and China. Coupled with the vain relationship of her foreign company, she took the orders of Concubine Hua and Dehua.

"Spread the news that the hall is still poisoned, and grandpa will know what to do." Su Jiu handed the water glass back to Baoqin.

"Your servant understands! It's just..." Baoqin hesitated to speak.

"What's wrong? Tell me!" Su Jiu said.

"The empress heard the news of your poisoning yesterday and passed out immediately. If you continue to hide it, I'm afraid..." Baoqin is worried about the health of the empress. After all, the empress is pregnant now. I will be ashamed for the rest of my life.

Su Jiu patted his head, "Oh! I was thinking too much, and I forgot about my mother. You can go to my mother's place in a while and remind Mother Li so that my mother should not worry!"

Baoqin took the order, Su Jiu explained a few more things, and then he lay down on the bed contentedly and pretended to be unconscious.

In the Xuanzheng Hall, most of the people who pleaded for Su Jiu knelt down.

"Your Majesty, the Ninth Princess has done so many things for the country and the people, and now the Ninth Princess' life is at stake, please Your Majesty severely punish the murderer!"

"Your Majesty, Princess Dehua has repeatedly harmed His Royal Highness the Ninth Highness. I'm afraid these times are planned by someone with a heart behind the scenes. Your Majesty, please don't let the real culprit go!"

Everyone said something to you, and I said nothing to mention Concubine Hua, but every sentence pointed to Concubine Hua.

After this night, the emperor's mood, which had calmed down, was made irritated by the courtiers.

"The imperial doctor said that Princess Huguo's life is not in danger. Dali Temple has full authority to investigate this matter. If the situation is true, it will be severely punished according to law!"

"Yes! I obey the order!" Dali Temple Qing Rongsheng took the order.

The news of the previous dynasty was passed to Su Jiu by someone sent by Si Turan, and Baoqin who was standing beside him was a little anxious.

"Master, no matter what, Princess Dehua will surely die, but Concubine Hua won't admit it, when the time comes..."

Su Jiu originally thought that with her current situation and the courtiers collectively pleading for orders, her father would immediately order Concubine Hua to die, but she never expected...she had overestimated her weight in the emperor's heart.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of this matter!" Su Jiu didn't say much, "Keep an eye on the door of the sleeping hall tonight, I'm going out for a while."

Yunqing Court

Su Qing was in a hurry because of Concubine Hua's matter, if something happened to her concubine mother, what would she do?What qualifications does a criminal woman's daughter have to marry the Great King of the Northern Court of Da Chu?

What's more, during these days, Xiao Poyi has been living in the Ninth Princess's Mansion, no matter what aspect she is inferior to Su Jiu.If Xiao Boyi insisted on letting Su Jiu be the marriage princess, then would Su Qing really have no chance at all?
Even at this time, Su Qing still only has Xiao Poyi in her heart, and her concern for Concubine Hua is only whether she can marry Xiao Poyi for herself and let her go.

"Master, the poison of the itching powder on your body has been cured, and your appearance has returned to normal. Would you like to visit the Ninth Princess Mansion." The servant girl Xiao He suggested.

"What are you visiting? Su Qing is still in a coma in Fengqi Palace! I'm going to the Ninth Princess' Mansion now, isn't this purely for scolding!" Su Qing is in a bad mood, even with a bad temper.

"Master, don't forget that Dachu's North Court King is in the Ninth Princess Mansion!" Xiao He stepped forward and gently squeezed Su Qing's shoulders. Living in the palace, he didn't even show his face. What kind of character is the king of the North Courtyard? Can he have no resentment towards the ninth princess? If we talk about expressing comfort at this time..."

Xiao He didn't finish her sentence, but that ambiguous look in her eyes was enough to explain everything.

Su Qing laughed, "Xiao He, I didn't expect you to be so smart! You're right, so what if all the civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty asked for their mother and concubine to die? If King Xiao liked me, how could the emperor allow me to marry the princess?" mother and concubine became a sinful woman”

Su Qing thought well.In this way, not only can she get the position of Xiao Boyi's concubine, but even her mother and concubine will not be implicated by Su Jiu's affairs.

As said and done, Su Qing has already changed into a pink dress while her mother and concubine are still suffering in the cold palace.

Xiao He's praise for her delicate and charming appearance could hardly be found.

In the afternoon, Su Qing asked someone to drive a carriage to the Ninth Princess' Mansion.

When the old housekeeper saw Su Qing holding an oiled paper umbrella, he couldn't help but feel that his head was getting bigger: why did this ancestor come here!

The old butler has long heard about Su Jiu and Su Qing's disagreement.

On weekdays, the sixth princess would not go to the Ninth Princess's mansion with nothing to do, and I don't know if the sun came out from the west today, and the princess's mansion welcomed such a big Buddha.

For a moment, the old butler had a lot of thoughts in his mind.But after so many years of experience, the old butler has long since become a good person who talks to people and talks to ghosts.

Even if the old butler didn't welcome Su Qing's arrival in his heart, he hurried to Su Qing, "Princess Six, what kind of wind brought you here today! What a coincidence, our Ninth Princess is not here today, or..."

Seeing that the housekeeper of the Ninth Princess Mansion wanted to issue an order to evict her.Su Qing quickly raised her hand to stop the old butler's next words: I have to say, Su Jiu hates it, and even the servants in the Ninth Princess' Mansion are not welcome.

"I didn't come here to look for Su Jiu today. Is the King of the North Court of Dachu still there?" Su Qing went straight to the point.
