Chapter 21: The Emperor Summons
Others didn't recognize this voice, but Su Jianjin did.
His expression also changed, and indeed he saw Eunuch An walking in, followed by two Yulin guards.
"Eunuch An!" Su Jianjin came up to him and cupped his hands, "What are you doing for food? Eunuch An didn't even let you know when he came!"
The Eunuch An in front of him was no ordinary eunuch, but a confidant of the emperor.
A group of slaves quickly knelt down to accept the crime.
But Eunuch An waved his hand and said, "Master Su, don't blame them. Our family is in a hurry to invite people, so we came here in a hurry."
He glanced at the situation in the main hall. It was a mess, and there was a woman crying softly. This Su family was really beautiful but was in ruins.
Su Jianjin couldn't help but blame all this on Su Yinyue.
He smiled awkwardly: "Is the emperor going to summon me to the palace? Mr. An, please wait a moment. I will change into official uniform and enter the palace immediately."
"No, no." Gonggong An shook his head, "The emperor wants to invite Concubine Ling Shi into the palace."
Su Jianjin's face froze, feeling that he had lost a lot of face.
Everyone in the Su family was slightly surprised and looked at Su Yinyue.
Although Chu Jifeng is receiving divine grace, Su Yinyue is just a family member, so the emperor has no reason to summon her, right? What an honor this is!
Yang retracted her gaze and asked: "Eunuch, why did the emperor suddenly summon Yue'er?"
Eunuch An looked cold at this moment and said, "How about Mrs. Su go into the palace with our family to ask the emperor?"
Whoever the emperor wants to summon is not their turn to ask.
Yang was startled, and Su Jianjin quickly intervened: "Yue'er, hurry up and follow Eunuch An into the palace!"
Following his gaze, Eunuch An finally knew who was Su Yinyue.
Eunuch An's eyes narrowed, and there was a clear whip mark on Su Yin Yue's back. It was obvious that she had been beaten just now.
He walked up to Su Yinyue and said with a respectful look: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty is waiting impatiently. Please come quickly."
He was not the one being beaten, so of course he didn't care, he just wanted to finish his errand quickly.
Su Yinyue had figured out at this moment that the emperor definitely did not summon her to the palace to ask for guilt, so she took courage and turned her head away coldly: "I was whipped, and now I can't walk. Could you please reply to me, father-in-law?"
Your Majesty, when I recover from my injury, I will go to the palace to apologize."
Su Jianjin's chest felt like it was being burned and he said, "Why are you so arrogant? Why don't you follow Eunuch An into the palace!"
"Father." Su Yinyue half-knelt there, her momentum unabated, "The whip you just ordered was so painful that my daughter really can't walk."
Eunuch An secretly admired Su Yinyue's courage. This woman was comparable to Chu Jifeng.
He felt like a mirror in his heart. If he wanted Su Yin Yue to follow him into the palace obediently, he couldn't just sit back and watch.
Otherwise, even if Su Yin Yue enters the palace, she will not do her best.
Immediately, Eunuch An raised his eyes and looked at Su Jianjin: "Just now our family heard Mr. Su saying that the Crown Princess is your daughter and can be beaten and scolded at will? Could it be that Mr. Su has forgotten that the Crown Princess married into Prince Ling's Mansion a few days ago, and now the Crown Prince
The concubine was beaten in the Su Mansion, what should I say about this matter?"
Su Jianjin had sweat on his forehead and hesitated to say a word.
But Su Yanyu was used to being arrogant. When she heard this, she said dissatisfiedly: "Father-in-law, don't believe her! She just received a whip, how could she not be able to walk? In the past, she was whipped more than ten times, and she could still walk back to the yard by herself.
Woolen cloth!"
"Sister!" Su Yanning had some brains and quickly scolded her.
But it's too late.
Eunuch An raised his eyebrows and said, "Which lady is this?"
Su Yanyu thought she was embarrassed, her cheeks turned slightly red, and she stepped forward to say, "Father-in-law, my name is Su Yanyu, and I am the third young lady of the Su family."
Mr. An nodded slightly: "Come to me, it's just right."
Before Su Yanyu understood the meaning of this sentence, he was slapped several times by Eunuch An.
Her cheeks hurt so much that she looked at Eunuch An in disbelief: "Why did Eunuch An hit me?"
"You dare to criticize the Crown Princess, can you not understand your identity?" Eunuch An finished the beating and rolled up his sleeves in a leisurely manner.
Yang's heart was bleeding, and she quickly stepped forward to support her daughter, not daring to say anything in anger.
Su Jianjin was equally uncomfortable, but Eunuch An was in front of the emperor. He didn't dare to raise any objections. He could only say: "Eunuch An, you are so arrogant against women, I will definitely punish you later."
Eunuch An then said: "Prince Concubine, it was Prince Ling who asked our family to come to the Su Mansion to pick you up. This matter is of great importance. Please put the overall situation first before our family enters the palace. Your account, Prince Ling
I will definitely help you clear it up."
Su Yinyue was startled, but she didn't expect that Chu Jifeng had entered the palace.
When she was satisfied, she stopped and asked Nanny Ji to help her up, then asked Xiang Tao to stay and take care of her. Su Jianjin did not dare to embarrass Su Luofu any more.
Eunuch An breathed a sigh of relief and quickly opened the way.
After Su Yin Yue got on the carriage, she asked An Gonggong what was going on in the palace.
When there were no outsiders, Eunuch An told the truth: "It's like this. His Highness was attacked and injured, and the imperial doctor in the palace was helpless. The Crown Prince said that your medical skills are not bad, and he might be able to save His Highness."
Your Highness?
Su Yinyue was a little uneasy. Your Highness is a member of the royal family. If she makes a mistake or fails to heal someone, she may lose her head.
What exactly does Chu Jifeng mean? Did he dig a hole for her to jump into?
"Is Doctor Qin going?" Su Yinyue asked.
"I've gone. Mr. Qin also said that it's very difficult." Eunuch An saw Su Yinyue's thoughts, "Prince Concubine, I want to tell you something from the bottom of my heart. This is a good opportunity to make a contribution. If you can save His Highness,
, Mr. Su, will he treat you lightly in the future? Not even your sister, he dares to touch a hair."
Su Yinyue nodded: "Thank you, father-in-law, for your advice."
Eunuch An didn't necessarily give her sincere advice, he just wanted her to save people.
But if I think about it more deeply, if she wasn't of some use value, Mr. An wouldn't have vented his anger on her just now.
If you want to protect people and save your life, you have to find your own backer.
Now that the opportunity is right in front of her, she must save His Highness!
With Eunuch An's token, the royal carriage passed directly through the palace gate and headed straight to Qingyun Palace.
Many imperial doctors were waiting outside the palace, whispering to each other and looking sad.
If His Highness is truly up to no good, their lives would be in jeopardy today.
Emperor Qiwu's roar came from the inner hall again: "Why haven't you come back yet?!"
Everyone's hearts trembled.
A sharp-eyed little eunuch saw the corner of his clothes at the palace door and shouted quickly: "Your Majesty! Eunuch An is back!"
All the imperial doctors looked over, thinking that Eunuch An had brought back some miracle doctor. Unexpectedly, a petite woman followed behind.
Su Yinyue noticed the scrutinizing eyes and straightened her back.
In her previous life, she also became famous at a young age, so she was used to this kind of gaze and continued to walk forward with her head held high.
