Chapter 81 Dead Man Sneaks Out of the Palace
That's good too. Starting life anew with a completely new identity, even though there will be many unknowns, at least I can gain the freedom I've longed for.
She slowly put down the letter in her hand, which carried secrets and hopes, and looked toward the door, softly calling out, "Tingxue."
A clear, crisp reply rang out: "This servant is here." Immediately afterward, Tingxue entered with light steps and bowed respectfully.
Su Nuannuan nodded slightly, handed over the carefully folded letter, and softly instructed, "Take this to the small kitchen and burn it. Remember, make sure it's completely clean and leaves no trace."
Tingxue carefully took the folded letter and replied, "Yes, Your Majesty." After saying that, she turned and quickly walked out of the room, hurrying towards the small kitchen.
It's daytime now; if it were night, simply lighting the letter on the candlestick would save a lot of trouble. However, with the sun shining brightly, it's best to be cautious.
After Tingxue left, Su Nuannuan hesitated for a moment, then softly called out, "Tingfeng."
Almost the instant the words fell, a dark figure appeared before Su Nuannuan like a ghost. Tingfeng knelt on one knee, cupped his hands in greeting, and said in a low but firm voice, "Your subordinate is here, please give your instructions, Master."
Su Nuannuan took a deep breath, composed herself, and said in a low voice, "I need you to find a corpse that is about the same size as Consort Chen. Three days later, you must find a way to send this corpse to the Cold Palace and hand it over to Consort Chen. She will handle it herself."
Afterwards, wait for news of Consort Chen in the Cold Palace. Then, secretly escort her out of the palace, making sure she is safely transported to Danxia Manor. Tell her to wait there patiently for further news. This matter is of utmost importance; there must be no mistakes!
Tingfeng nodded solemnly and replied, "Your subordinate will certainly not fail in your mission!" After saying that, he flashed and disappeared from the spot again, as if he had never appeared at all.
Su Nuannuan stood there, shaking her head slightly, muttering to herself, "This guy really does appear and disappear without a trace..."
Recalling the letter she had just seen, Su Nuannuan realized that Chen Fangyi was not only so bold, but had also dragged her into this mess. How could she have come up with such a desperate plan to sneak out of the palace?
However, for Su Nuannuan, such a risky approach was clearly not a good idea. Not to mention that she had two young children to take care of, just the thought that if she successfully escaped, she might never see her parents and brothers again in this lifetime made her feel that it was a terrible loss.
But Chen Fangyi was different; she could take her divorced mother to a distant place and start a new life.
Just then, footsteps sounded outside the door, and then Su Yueniang and Honglian carefully carried two children in. The two greeted Su Nuannuan in unison, saying, "This servant greets Your Highness."
The two little ones' faces lit up with bright smiles the moment they saw Su Nuannuan, their excitement overflowing. Canglan Jingcheng, in particular, bounced around incessantly in Su Yueniang's arms, as if trying to break free and jump into Su Nuannuan's embrace; while Canglan Jingyao was much more docile, but still kept moving closer to Su Nuannuan, babbling something. Honglian, afraid she might accidentally drop the little princess, held her tightly, not daring to loosen her grip even slightly.
Seeing this, Su Nuannuan happily opened her arms and said, "Come, let your mother hug you, my precious babies."
After saying that, she quickly stepped forward and took the two little ones from Su Yueniang and Honglian, each taking up one of their arms.
As soon as Canglan Jingcheng landed in his mother's arms, he laughed happily, waving his little hands incessantly; Canglan Jingyao nestled quietly against Su Nuannuan's chest, blinking her big, bright eyes, looking incredibly cute.
"Oh my good darlings, if your mother didn't have some strength, she really couldn't carry you two!" Su Nuannuan said with a smile, carrying the two little ones and slowly walking towards the small couch.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise rang out: "Ouch, baby, you can't pull your mother's hair!" It turned out that the mischievous Jing Cheng had reached out and ruthlessly pulled out Su Nuannuan's carefully combed hair. Su Nuannuan winced in pain, but quickly and gently stopped him.
Seeing this, Su Yueniang, Honglian, and Yaoqin hurriedly stepped forward, trying to rescue Su Nuannuan's hair from Jing Cheng's small hands.
However, Su Nuannuan hurriedly called out, "Yue Niang, Hong Lian, Yao Qin, don't rush to fix your hair. Quickly, quickly, help me take off my headdress and earrings first. Otherwise, if I'm not careful, this naughty girl will catch me again!"
In a flash, while her son was still pulling on her hair, Su Nuannuan reacted quickly, reminding everyone to remove any potentially dangerous accessories. After all, a minor injury to herself wouldn't matter, but accidentally hurting the child would be a serious matter!
Before long, with the combined efforts of Su Yueniang, Honglian, and Yaoqin, they successfully removed all the hairpins and ornaments from Su Nuannuan's head. Now free from these cumbersome accessories, Su Nuannuan finally breathed a sigh of relief and could play freely with her two adorable little ones. At the same time, after this little mishap, she secretly resolved that in the future, whenever the two little ones came to see her, she would remove all her hairpins and ornaments beforehand to prevent a similar situation from happening again.
Su Nuannuan carefully placed the two exquisitely beautiful little creatures onto the delicate tatami mat. Immediately afterward, Yaoqin quickly stepped forward, skillfully and gently picking up a comb and beginning to comb Su Nuannuan's cascading hair again.
Just then, Jinse hurriedly walked in and whispered, "Your Majesty, Consort Qin has arrived."
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Nuannuan heard a silvery laugh. She looked in the direction of the sound and saw Consort Qin walking slowly towards her in a gorgeous palace dress with a smile on her face.
"Sister Consort Zhuang, why are you busy combing your hair in the middle of the day? It's still early before your midday nap!" Consort Qin said as she sat down next to Su Nuannuan, her gaze curiously falling on the hair that Yaoqin was carefully arranging.
Su Nuannuan turned her head slightly, a helpless yet doting smile on her face, and replied coquettishly, "Sister Qinfei, you don't know, it's all because of this naughty little brat."
Just now, my sister was hugging him and Xiao Yao'er when this little guy was incredibly fast and yanked her neatly combed hair out. My sister was terrified and quickly had all her hairpins and jewelry removed, afraid the little devil would cause her more trouble. After saying this, Su Nuannuan couldn't help but gently tap the tip of the nose of the little guy who was staring wide-eyed with an innocent expression.
Upon hearing Su Nuannuan's words, Consort Qin couldn't help but cover her mouth and chuckle, her eyes filled with affection. "Hehe, I see. It seems that when you go back to hug Xu'er, you'll have to be extra careful."
