Overcoming all difficulties, the princess is reborn to become the empress

In the Yunxuan Palace, Su Yunxuan dismissed all the palace maids and was about to close her room to sleep when she suddenly noticed a familiar figure behind the crowd, peeking at her.

Taking a closer look, she saw it was Concubine Xu, and she hurriedly called for help.

When Concubine Xu heard Su Yunxuan calling her, she was so scared that she turned around and ran away.

Seeing this, Su Yunxuan shouted to the palace maids, "Stop Concubine Xu."

Concubine Xu was brought to Su Yunxuan with a depressed look on her face. She felt extremely regretful for coming here in the middle of the night.

Ignoring the look on Concubine Xu's face, Su Yunxuan pulled her into the room and sat down at the table. She looked at what Concubine Xu was holding in her arms and asked with a smile, "The thing in your arms looks good. Is it for me?"

Concubine Xu was startled, she lowered her eyes to look at the "Kneeling Comfortably" that was squeezed out of shape in her hand, the regret on her face was instantly swept away, she raised her head and nodded excitedly: "Yes, I made it myself, I'm giving it to you."

As she spoke, she handed the item to Su Yunxuan, introducing it like a treasure: "This is called kneeling comfortably. I stuffed a lot of cotton into it. Tomorrow when you go to pray for rain, take it with you, and your knees won't be rubbed and hurt."

"Oh?" Su Yunxuan took it with both hands and looked at it carefully from front to back with curiosity.

Two rectangular pillow-like things with long strips of cloth sewn on the four corners.

The thickness of the pillow is really unusual...

Seeing that Su Yunxuan seemed to be puzzled, Concubine Xu stood up and squatted in front of Su Yunxuan, quickly took out a "comfortable kneeling" and was about to help Su Yunxuan put it on.

Su Yunxuan quickly moved her knees away, leaned over and raised her hand to support Concubine Xu.

Concubine Xu pushed her hand away and put the "Kneeling Comfortable" on her knees in a few seconds, saying proudly: "Don't disbelieve me, try it on, it works well. I sewed this stitch by stitch..."

Unable to bear to spoil Concubine Xu's fun, Su Yunxuan did not try to stop her.

Waiting for Concubine Xu to help her pack everything, Su Yunxuan stood up and walked a few steps under Concubine Xu's expectant gaze, then knelt on the ground and walked for a while, then stood up and thanked Concubine Xu with a satisfied look: "Well, it's really a good thing, you are thoughtful!"

Hearing her thanks, Concubine Xu waved her hand shyly: "I'm glad you like it. I hope it can be of some help to you."

Su Yunxuan walked up to Concubine Xu and took her arm back to the table, and poured tea for them both.

Pushing one of the cups in front of Concubine Xu, she looked at her and was about to entrust her father to her care when Concubine Xu seemed to suddenly remember something. She stood up abruptly and walked out while muttering, "It's too late, I need to go back."

Su Yunxuan hurriedly stood up and took two quick steps to grab the person.

Concubine Xu was pulled to a stop, without even looking at Su Yunxuan, she waved her hands and said, "I don't know, don't ask me, I won't tell you, I promised him, no matter how you ask me, I won't tell you..."

"Are you hiding from me because you're afraid that I'll ask you questions?" Su Yunxuan asked with a smile.

"Yes." Concubine Xu answered truthfully, lowering her head and not looking at Su Yunxuan.

Su Yunxuan walked up to Concubine Xu, let go of her and said, "If I don't ask, can you stop hiding from me?"

"Really not asking?" Concubine Xu looked up in disbelief.

Su Yunxuan nodded at her sincerely, "No questions asked."

After Concubine Xu let the cat out of the bag that time, she actually sent people to investigate Concubine Xu.

According to the report from the people who were sent out, Concubine Xu was born in a peasant family at the foot of Cuifeng Mountain. She had two younger brothers. Her parents were extremely patriarchal and did not even give Concubine Xu a full name. They only called her Mu'er as a nickname.

Due to poor family conditions, Concubine Xu not only had to help her parents take care of her two younger brothers since she was a child, but also had to work in the fields frequently. Fetching water and chopping firewood were common tasks. Even so, Concubine Xu's parents still disliked her for being a girl, and they either beat or scolded her.

A year ago, Concubine Xu's parents wanted to sell her for money, but she accidentally fell into the river while trying to escape in the middle of the night. The villagers found Concubine Xu's shoes by the river and thought she was dead.

About two months later, Concubine Xu was found by her father at Qingyun Temple, where he visited every month, and was brought back to the palace.

After knowing that Concubine Xu was also a miserable person, Su Yunxuan felt more sympathy for her.

Carefully recalling the several meetings with Concubine Xu, Su Yunxuan analyzed the situation carefully and guessed that the "he" Concubine Xu was referring to should be Brother Changfeng.

Thinking that Concubine Xu might have met Brother Changfeng in her previous life, she became more and more curious.

Thinking back to Su Changfeng's abnormal words and actions when he returned to Yunsheng, she became more and more suspicious that Su Changfeng might be hiding something from her.

She wanted to find Concubine Xu several times to ask for clarification, but she was too busy, and Concubine Xu deliberately avoided her, so she never found a suitable opportunity.

When she uncovered the truth of the past and learned about the past disputes between her royal grandmother and her grandfather, she suddenly felt that it was not a good idea to get to the bottom of it...

After getting Su Yunxuan's assurance, Concubine Xu let out a long sigh, and visibly relaxed, no longer shouting that she wanted to leave.

Sitting back at the table, Concubine Xu picked up the tea on the table and drank it all, then looked at Su Yunxuan worriedly, "Can you please not go to Qi Fushan?"

The questions she asked and the obvious anxiety on her face were exactly the same as what Su Changfeng had said to her during the day.

Su Yunxuan's curiosity was aroused again.

Slowly sitting down next to Concubine Xu, Su Yunxuan couldn't help but stare at Concubine Xu and asked tentatively: "What do you think of me going to Qingyun Temple to pray for rain?"

"Can we change the place? That's great." Concubine Xu looked delighted.

Suddenly realizing that Concubine Xu really cared about where she was going, rather than the purpose of praying for rain, Su Yunxuan grabbed Concubine Xu's shoulders and asked anxiously, "Is there anything on Qifu Mountain that I can't see?"

"How do you know?" Concubine Xu shouted in surprise.

After she finished shouting, she met Su Yunxuan's shrewd gaze and suddenly realized that she had let something slip. She pushed Su Yunxuan's hand away in a hurry, got up and ran out, shouting, "No, nothing, I didn't say anything."

Sitting there and watching Concubine Xu disappear at the door, Su Yunxuan did not get up to chase her. Firstly, she could not catch up with her even if she tried, and secondly, she was very sure that no matter how she asked, Concubine Xu would not tell her.

After this, Su Yunxuan became even more determined to climb Qi Fu Mountain.

......

In the inn, Feng Yuqi heard Tian Qu say that Su Yunxuan was forced by King Xu and his men to climb Qi Fu Mountain and kowtow every three steps to pray for rain tomorrow. He was so angry that he cursed Yun Sheng for being a bad guy.

Especially King Xu, who was scolded by Feng Yuqi for half an hour while he slammed the table and settled all the old and new accounts.

Hearing this, Tian Qu lowered his head and dared not say another word.

I could only secretly complain in my heart: Prince Yunshengxu forced Su Yunxuan, who was already the Queen of Yunsheng, like this. It was all because the master insisted on adding the "marriage" clause to the peace documents!

His master only allows himself to force others, and anyone else who forces others shall die.

Just as he was secretly sighing in his heart that Toyotama Chi was as domineering and unreasonable as ever, Toyotama Chi suddenly stood up and gave him an order, which startled him so much that he almost fell down.

Feng Yuqi clenched his fists and said, "Go find two sets of night clothes, and let's go to Prince Xu's mansion."
