Daming: Dad, you are really not good at governing the country

In the winding corridors near Kunning Palace, light and shadow interweave.

I saw Yu'er walking towards me gracefully, she was wearing a light pink palace dress.

The pink color is just like the peach blossoms blooming in spring, elegant and soft.

It contrasts with the solemn palace environment and has a unique charm.

This palace dress is tailor-made to fit Yu'er perfectly, and every line seems to be tailor-made for Yu'er, outlining her slender figure like a willow.

The hem of her skirt swayed slightly as she walked, just like a breeze blowing across the lake, creating ripples.

The bun on Yu'er's head was simple yet elegant, without too many complicated pearls and jades.

It is only fixed with a plain jade hairpin, yet it exudes gentleness and elegance.

A few strands of hair gently slipped out of her bun and fell beside her snow-white cheeks.

It swayed slightly with Yu'er's steps, like a flexible silk thread, adding a touch of gentleness and charm to her temperament.

Like a lily swaying gently in the breeze, fresh and charming.

At this moment, Yu'er held the medicine jar steadily in both hands, with a focused expression.

The medicine jar is painted with exquisite blue and white patterns, and the delicate brushstrokes outline lifelike flowers, birds, fish and insects.

It seems that the vitality and vigor of the entire nature are condensed in this small medicine jar, highlighting the exquisiteness and luxury of the royal utensil.

From the mouth of the medicine jar, wisps of hot steam are rising slowly.

It lingers like a veil, with a faint medicinal fragrance quietly drifting in the air.

The medicinal fragrance mixed with the unique scent of incense in the palace permeated the air, adding a sense of tranquility and peace to the space, as if time had slowed down at this moment.

In this quiet palace corridor, Yu'er was concentrating on holding the medicine jar in her hand.

She had her eyes lowered, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly like butterfly wings.

That focused look on his face was as if nothing in the world was as important as the pot of medicine in his hand.

At this moment, Yu'er was extremely cautious with every step she took, lifting and lowering her feet gently.

Her figure was as light as falling petals, and she was afraid that the medicine would spill even a little bit if she was not careful.

This medicinal soup carries the health of the master, and Yu'er cannot afford to be careless in the slightest.

Just as she was immersed in this concentration, the sound of steady and powerful footsteps approached from afar, breaking the silence.

The footsteps were firm and rhythmic, like steady drumbeats beating in Yu'er's heart.

She was slightly startled and subconsciously raised her head slightly and looked in the direction where the sound came from.

Su Yu was seen walking towards them with big strides, his tall figure standing out in the corridor.

A hint of surprise flashed across Yu'er's clear eyes.

It was as if a stone was thrown into a calm lake, causing ripples.

Then a touch of shyness quietly crept up Yu'er's cheek, like the sunset rising in the sky, and the blush slowly spread across her fair face.

At the moment their eyes met, it seemed as if time had stopped.

Yu'er woke up as if from a dream and realized her own mistake.

She hastened to bow slightly, her movements light and graceful.

Then Yu'er lowered her head slightly and said softly, "Guard Su, you are polite."

The sound was soft and gentle, just like the gentlest breeze in spring.

It gently brushes past your ears, bringing with it a hint of tenderness and shyness.

It is as clear and pleasant as the melodious chirping of birds in the woods, echoing slowly in this quiet corridor.

Su Yu saw Yu'er kneeling to salute, and hurriedly nodded slightly in return.

His movements were neat and swift, showing the guard's competence. He was tall and straight, wearing a guard uniform that fit him well, showing his heroic spirit.

When returning the gift, Su Yu's eyes inadvertently fell on the medicine jar that Yu'er was holding steadily in her hand.

The blue and white patterns on the medicine jar were extremely delicate, and emitted a unique luster under the mottled light and shadow of the palace.

Su Yu couldn't help but feel a little confused. He frowned slightly and a trace of thought flashed in his eyes.

Kunning Palace has always been the residence of Empress Ma. Yu'er, a maid in Kunning Palace, is holding a medicine jar in her hand. Could it be that this medicine is made for Empress Ma in Kunning Palace?
Empress Ma was dignified and virtuous, and she usually stayed at home and rarely went out.

She took good care of all matters in the harem and enjoyed a high prestige in the palace.

Su Yu's mind quickly emerged the image of Empress Ma, who was usually graceful and elegant but looked sickly.

I wonder if it’s because there have been so many complicated things happening in the palace recently that Empress Ma has been overworked. Could it be that her condition has worsened again?
Thinking of this, Su Yu couldn't help feeling a little worried.

His gaze lingered on the medicine jar for a moment before he slowly looked away.

"Miss Yu'er, I just happened to need your help. Let's talk for a moment."

Looking at Su Yu in a black suit, Yu'er couldn't help but think of Queen Ma's evaluation of him.

"Su Yu is not only loyal, brave, and skilled in martial arts, but also has a strong sense of responsibility and decisiveness.

Most importantly, he is absolutely loyal to the royal family and can fully live up to the four words "fulfilling his duties."

Being able to receive such high praise from the Master of the Six Palaces, Yu'er naturally believed that Su Yu would not do anything inappropriate in broad daylight.

However, when she heard what the other party said, she couldn't help but exclaim.

"You said that the man who offered you a bribe at the gate of the Imperial City claimed to be Yu'er's husband?"

Facing Yu'er who looked shocked, Su Yu nodded solemnly and said, "As far as I know, this person is a clerk in Yuanma Temple and currently has no rank.

However, the pair of jade earrings he took out had a delicate texture and a lush green color.

The carving craftsmanship is exquisite and you can tell its value at a glance.

Not to mention a small clerk in the Yuanma Temple, even a first-rank official in the court could not afford such precious jewelry.

If it was a bribe from someone else, who would bribe a clerk of the Yuanma Temple who had no rank?"

Yu'er also noticed the strangeness of this matter. She calmed down a little and then slowly said, "Guard Su, please find a way to get the pair of jade earrings. Yu'er will ask the Queen to help take a look.

She is well-informed and meticulous, so perhaps she can figure out something from this."

In this heavily guarded palace, Su Yu had his own considerations for entering the palace this time.

He knew very well that the palace rules were strict and carrying a sword into the palace was a taboo.

But what Su Yu was concerned about was too important, so he had to meet Queen Ma in person.

Only by explaining the matter in its entirety and clearly can we untie the crux of the problem.

Therefore, he resolutely did not bring his sword into the palace, and walked all the way to the vicinity of Kunning Palace.

Listening to the plan proposed by Yu'er, Su Yu was in deep thought.

I saw that his brows were slightly furrowed, and his eyes were full of caution.

From all aspects, the plan proposed by Yu'er obviously sounds more cautious and comprehensive.

Kunning Palace, a palace that symbolizes the majesty of the mistress of the harem, had just experienced a thrilling assassination incident not long ago.

Thinking back on that scene, it still makes me feel scared.

At that time, the assassin used some unknown means to break through the heavy guards and sneak into Kunning Palace with the intention of harming Empress Ma.

The entire palace suddenly fell into chaos. The guards rushed to protect the emperor and finally subdued the assassin.

The incident caused panic in the palace, and security became even tighter. (End of this chapter)
