Su Siyuan heard the letter and brought people to drive him away.
The three elder brothers were rarely so united.
Even Su Sizhuo, who was usually taciturn, solemnly stated his position.
'Momo is our sister, and no one else has the right to demand anything from her.'
Su Siqi even unleashed the dogs.
Of course, Su Yunmo heard about these things later.
She woke up in the middle of the night. Zhou Wanyou had stayed up for several nights and had gone to sleep, with Ziyuan keeping watch.
Hearing movement from the bed, Ziyuan quickly came over to help her up and offered her tea to drink.
Su Yunmo moistened her throat.
She didn't feel tired after sleeping for these few days; her mind was very active, a completely different state from the previous days.
Ziyuan had heavy dark circles under her eyes, indicating she hadn't rested well for the past half month.
"You've worked hard."
Ziyuan shook her head, sighing helplessly, "As long as the master doesn't scare her subordinates like this again."
Xue Hen had only recently been established and had just gotten on track. Those people expected the master to come every day.
When the master had an accident this time, she didn't even dare to inform the organization, for fear that they wouldn't be able to accept it and cause trouble.
Su Yunmo leaned back against the headboard, rubbing her temples.
If she could, she wouldn't want to.
It seemed her abilities had been used too much. The feeling of being full of energy that morning wasn't due to this body's high talent.
It was a final surge before death.
She might have to be careful in the future; if it happened again, she might truly explode.
"How is Lüluo?"
Ziyuan's brows furrowed, "Her life is not in danger. She'll be able to get out of bed in another two months, but her face... Madam has consulted many doctors. The injury is too severe; there's nothing that can be done."
Su Yunmo knew this too.
She had personally seen the force of Jiang Yufei's blow that day. Even if she had treated it, there would have been a scar.
"Have someone take good care of her. It's her bad luck to have a master like me. Once her injuries heal, transfer her elsewhere."
Ziyuan had suffered enough following her; there was no need to harm others.
"Master..." Ziyuan hesitated, lowering her eyes and swallowing her words.
Actually, she felt that Lüluo was quite loyal, and keeping her wouldn't be a bad thing.
Su Yunmo opened her eyes, puzzled, "What do you want to say?"
Ziyuan shook her head and changed the subject, "Jiang Yufei's wrist was broken. There are all sorts of rumors outside about the specific situation, but it's certain that she has gone mad."
Su Yunmo's hand paused in rubbing her temples.
General Su would at most make a scene at the Marquis's mansion; he wouldn't do something like this.
This meant...
"Alas, he didn't need to do this."
Ye Jingyu had been hiding for so many years, and now he was directly confronting people from the Empress's side for her. This was likely to attract attention again.
"How is the Empress's side? Have they caused him trouble?"
Ziyuan shook her head.
Su Yunmo curved her lips playfully, "It seems the Empress has a good memory."
Ziyuan's gaze deepened.
It was true that the Empress dared not, and it was also true that she could not.
Prince Yu was a wise man. Xue Hen had sent word that he had already made complete preparations on the imperial court side.
Over the past half month, many old officials had mentioned him to the Emperor intentionally or unintentionally. He had also completed several tasks, and his brilliance was evident.
From then on, this Empress would be completely helpless against Prince Yu.
Su Yunmo said, "Prepare the carriage for tomorrow morning. I've been ill for so long, it's time to visit the Empress Dowager."
The antidote was ready, and it was time to resolve the Soul Devouring Soup.
Ziyuan prepared the carriage early the next morning.
Zhou Wanyou was somewhat disapproving upon hearing this, but Su Yunmo easily persuaded her.
Su Qingtian was carefree, believing that children needed to run around outside to recover faster from injuries.
Su Yunmo first entered Cining Palace, met the Empress Dowager, and chatted with her for a while before going to the Cold Palace.
Consort Liang's condition was worse than when Su Yunmo had last seen her, but she seemed to recognize Su Yunmo.
This time, instead of showing fear as she had before, she tilted her head and carefully examined the little person in front of her.
Su Yunmo had come prepared. Before Consort Liang could become agitated, she stuffed the prepared pastries into her hand.
While Consort Liang was eating, Su Yunmo took her pulse and administered medicine.
Initially, Su Yunmo had planned to administer medicine while also using her abilities to help her recover.
However, her abilities had not yet fully recovered, so she could only rely on pills. Although the recovery would be slower, her body would eventually heal.
"Consort Liang, Ye Jingyu is doing very well outside. He will be able to rescue you soon."
Su Yunmo didn't know if she could understand her words, but she still tried to tell her about Ye Jingyu bit by bit.
Consort Liang tilted her head and looked at her, showing no reaction, unsure if she was thinking or lost in thought.
Su Yunmo sighed.
It would take time for her to recover.
The current priority was that she might not be able to enter the palace every day.
Even with Ziyuan's abilities, it would be difficult to sneak into the deep palace every day.
And Consort Liang's medicine had to be taken daily.
If she told Ye Jingyu to send someone...
Su Yunmo shook her head and dismissed the idea.
It was a crucial time outside, and she couldn't let him be distracted. She would find a way to handle this small matter herself.
After serving Consort Liang food and water, Su Yunmo tidied everything up and left the Cold Palace.
She climbed over the wall. As soon as she jumped down, she bumped into someone.
Ye Jingguang exclaimed loudly, "Who is it! Which bastard dares to bump into this prince!"
Su Yunmo raised an eyebrow.
What a coincidence, or rather, what a fated encounter.
"So it's you. I heard from the Empress Dowager that you entered the palace and I was looking for you. Why did you come here?"
Ye Jingguang looked up at the wall of the Cold Palace, stunned, and exclaimed, "You went inside? You went to see Consort Liang, didn't you? Did Third Brother send you?"
Su Yunmo thought to herself that this kid knew quite a lot. "What do you want me for?"
"You still haven't answered me about what happened last time!" Ye Jingguang glared at her.
This matter was very important! He had approached his third brother several times, but his third brother had ignored it.
Last time, he had secretly run out of the palace to the Prince's mansion, but his third brother hadn't even let him in.
"I already said I don't like to meddle in other people's business. Figure it out yourself." Su Yunmo brushed the dirt off her hands and walked away.
Ye Jingguang stamped his feet in anger behind her, huffing and puffing, "How can you, a little girl, have no sympathy at all!"
Su Yunmo stopped in her tracks and turned back.
Ye Jingguang's eyes lit up, "You've decided to help me? Then I take back what I just said."
Su Yunmo said, "There's something I need you to do. If you can do it, I might consider passing a message for you."
This kid ran around the palace all the time with no one watching him, so sneaking into the Cold Palace every day shouldn't be difficult.
Su Yunmo took out a medicine bottle, "Deliver one pill to Consort Liang every day, watch her take it, and don't miss a single dose."
Ye Jingguang excitedly took the medicine, "If I help you, will you really let me talk to Third Brother?"
Su Yunmo nodded.
Ye Jingguang immediately agreed, "It's a deal!"
After the two of them made their agreement,
Su Yunmo left the palace as she wished.
As soon as she reached the palace gate, she heard someone calling her from behind.
She turned around.
Lin Chenxi, dressed in a white robe embroidered with pine trees, walked out from within. "What a coincidence. I went to the General's mansion to find you a couple of days ago and heard you were still ill. Are you better now?"
Su Yunmo crossed her arms, "Thank you for your concern. I wasn't injured and recovered quickly. I'm afraid your future fiancée might not be so lucky."
