Chapter 229: Attempted Escape
Seeing her dawdling and making no movement, Concubine Chen became more and more puzzled, and urged: "Quicker your hands and feet, I don't have the patience to wait."

"Yes……"

Under the eyes of everyone, Su Yuning revealed her eyes. Concubine Chen was startled. She was sure that this was Concubine Ning, and she was about to shout out when Su Yuning suddenly said, "This servant is here to relieve your mother's worries."

"Oh?" Concubine Chen sneered endlessly: "I would like to know, how can you relieve my worries?" The concubine just got married before, so this concubine will not think that she will let her go now!

Su Yuning said in a low voice: "My servant knows what your mother is worrying about now, and there are ways to help you solve your problems. Please trust me."

Just after returning from the emperor's place, Concubine Chen was stabbed a few times by sneering words, she was naturally displeased, thinking that Su Yuning was favored in the past, and she might have a way out of this situation, so she said with a straight face: "Follow me Come over here."

"Yes, ma'am."

After entering the Imperial Garden, Concubine Chen dispersed the crowd, leaving only her and Hong Ling by her side, Su Yuning then slowly raised her head, Concubine Chen sneered: "Yo, sister, what song is this singing?"

Facing Concubine Chen's cynicism, although Su Yuning hated it, she had to bow her head under the eaves, so she said with a stiff smile, "It's my sister who is smart, she recognized it at a glance."

"Stop flattering, where are you going?" Concubine Chen looked at her inquiringly: "Could it be that you want to escape from the palace?"

Su Yuning was startled, and immediately explained: "How is this possible? No matter how stupid my sister is, she wouldn't have such an idea. Not even a bird can fly out of the palace, let alone my sister..."

This is reasonable, Concubine Chen thought for a moment, raised her eyes and said: "Then what do you want to do?"

"This..." Su Yuning hesitated for a moment, then suddenly said: "This is an order from the Second Highness, you can't tell others..."

"Pooh!"

Concubine Chen jumped up against the case and was very angry: "I knew you were playing ghosts! I adopted an adopted son for no reason, and said that I worked hard with me, but now everything is hidden from me. What is there to say?" ? Hong Ling! Take her back and hand her over to the Department of Punishment!"

"Sister, don't be upset!" Su Yuning hurriedly said: "The Second Highness refused to tell my sister because he didn't want you to be implicated. After all, if this matter fails, it will be the crime of beheading..."

But now Concubine Chen doesn't want to talk to her, and said coldly: "Come on, put away your cute and pitiful appearance, will you be deceived by you just like your Majesty?"

Hong Ling walked up to her and put on a businesslike attitude: "Don't struggle..."

She was controlled by Hong Ling, as if she was in a dilemma: "Sister really wants to be so hard to force her? Second Highness... But she is running around for the He family's affairs!"

When Concubine Chen's mother's family was mentioned, Hong Ling also paused, and Concubine Chen asked doubtfully, "The He family? What does this have to do with the He family?"

Su Yuning sighed, "Your Majesty, don't you know about buying and selling officials in Jiangsu and Zhejiang?"

"I only know a little bit, but how do you know?" Seeing Concubine Chen's surprised expression, Su Yuning was relieved. As expected, the He family didn't take this matter because of Concubine Chen's stupidity. If everything is revealed, then she will have room to pay back...

She said mysteriously: "If you want to come, my sister only knows that the He family has a large sum of money to buy officials, and doesn't know the inside story. Since the Second Highness recognized you as a adoptive mother, he has always taken the He family's affairs to heart. Now Mr. He You are old, and your elder brother is really ignorant, if this business is cut off, what will happen to the running water in the Empress Palace in the future?"

Concubine Chen was surrounded by her, she frowned and said, "This..."

"So the Second Highness's trip to Jiangsu and Zhejiang this time is not just to deliver disaster relief, but also to pick up the burden of the He family. I didn't tell you because the risk of this matter is too high. I want to talk to you in detail after the matter is completed. , who would have guessed that there would be a suspicion..."

Su Yuning's words were sincere, and she directly described Yun Shen as a filial son who has heaven and earth, and concubine Chen was stunned for a while, and didn't recover for a long time.

Seeing this, Su Yuning persisted and said: "My sister is going out at this time to do things for His Royal Highness. It's convenient for my sister, after all, it's also for your mother's family..."

Concubine Chen raised her head from the silence, squinted her eyes and said, "What are you going to do? There is no one in the Second Highness's palace? Do you have to let a concubine who has entered the Punishment Department go to work? Are you looking at this palace? Can't you be a fool? You clearly want to escape!"

"elder sister……"

Su Yuning wanted to defend herself, but was interrupted by Concubine Chen: "Come on, the greatest tolerance of this palace is to send you back to the Department of Punishment without disturbing others. If you get confused again, be careful of your head!"

After finishing speaking, she walked out of the pavilion with her skirt in her hand. Su Yuning stared at her back hatedly, but Hong Ling said coolly, "Miss Ning, please..."

In this room, Xu Kang woke up in a daze, and found a person standing in front of him. He subconsciously thought that he was Yun Shen, and murmured: "Your Highness...you..."

"Since Mr. Xu is awake, please explain the matter."

The man turned around, tall and handsome, but it was not Yun Shen, but Yun Ting who trapped him here!
Xu Kang's heart was ashamed for a moment, he stared at the wall without saying a word, but he heard him say: "Master Xu still wants to resist? Now that Sun Mama and Ming Jie have both confessed, Jiedu envoy Zhou Chengliang has also been sent to prison, you It's been cornered."

In the dim light, Xu Kang lowered his head, finally let go, and explained all the contacts between the He family and Jiangsu and Zhejiang in the past years. Yun Ting listened carefully, but his expression became more and more abnormal: "I already know about He Jingzhong. What about the others?"

"The other people His Highness said refers to..."

"Yun Shen." Yun Ting said without hesitation: "A few days ago, you were inseparable from him, weren't you planning something?"

Xu Kang raised his eyes in surprise: "Where does this come from? The Second Highness is just flirting with the minister, and the word "planning" is really inappropriate."

Seeing that he refused to admit it, Yun Ting stood up calmly: "Master Xu, is it possible that you have to make things ugly before you are willing to explain?"

"Your...several crimes are punished together, and there is no way out. If you can explain it, why hide it?" Xu Kang lowered his head, looking sleepy: "It's just that there is no such thing. I can't frame the Second Highness for no reason."

After he finished speaking, he didn't say another word. Yun Ting knew that he was threatened by Yun Shen and didn't dare to confess, so he said in a cold voice: "Master Xu, you'd better think again, even if it's for Xu's sake. There are dozens of people in the house, and they shouldn't hide the truth."

He was indifferent until Yun Ting left, and then he gave a wry smile. If he really confessed, Yun Shen would definitely kill the whole Xu family...
