Chapter 121 Su Fu is poisoned, take her in exchange

When Su Ci woke up, it was almost noon the next day.

Si Xue stepped forward to serve and reported: "Jie Yu Bai has been waiting outside for a long time. Does the Queen want to see her?"

Su Ci quickly washed up and said, "I'm so hungry, let me eat first."

Bai Shuang was getting impatient while waiting, and was thinking about the strange fire last night.

Several corpses were carried out of the palace where Su Hua lived, and Su Hua was confined to the palace, so it was impossible for her to escape, right?
How could Su Ci still sleep well when Su Hua was dead? Even if they didn't get along, they still had the same father.

If she hadn't wanted to trick Su Ci out of the palace, she wouldn't have to suffer such a small insult here. She even felt that God was blind. How could it not be Su Ci who was burned to death last night?

Just when Bai Shuang was cursing Su Ci, Su Ci appeared leisurely.

Because of a good sleep, her face was rosy and radiant.

Bai Shuang felt that Su Ci was cold-blooded. She blurted out, "Sister, don't you know that Su Hua was burned to death?"

"I know. I saw several bodies being carried out of the scene last night. But she's dead, so what does it have to do with me?" Su Ci looked at Bai Shuang with a half-smile. "My sister and Su Hua have a deep sisterly relationship, so she doesn't seem to be that sad."

Bai Shuang wished she could go up and tear Su Ci's mouth apart, but she had to swallow her anger.

"Su Hua must be blessed, maybe she has other luck. Yes, I heard that Lai Fu Restaurant in the capital is very famous, and the food cooked by the chef is even more delicious than that of the imperial chef. Do you want to go out of the palace with me to try the food there?" Bai Shuang tried to steer the topic back on track.

Su Ci thought of what Zhao Shizhu had said, and the baby in her belly, and finally felt that the palace was safer. She curled her lips with a smile, "Sister, you make it sound like I can leave the palace whenever I want."

Bai Shuang clenched his fists and wondered how there could be such a mean woman.
"Of course, my younger sister cannot leave the palace at will, but my elder sister can. Isn't this just taking advantage of my elder sister?" Bai Shuang said with a smile.

Su Ci sighed and said, "That's true, but unfortunately I have no interest in leaving the palace. Do you want me to kneel down and beg you to see if I will relent and agree?"

Bai Shuang couldn't help but change her expression this time.

Su Ci looked at Bai Shuang's ugly face and said, "Oh, my sister is not angry and wants to attack me, right?"

Bai Shuang was so angry at Su Ci's despicable behavior that she couldn't breathe, but she couldn't lose her temper, she couldn't!!

"What are you talking about, sister? I just think it's a pity that I can't leave the palace to taste the delicious food in Laifulou. Do you really not want to try something new?" Bai Shuang swallowed her anger and continued to lobby.

Su Ci pretended to think for a moment, "Actually, I do want to go, but because you want me to go, I am not willing to go. So, if you kneel down and beg me, I will see that you are bending over backwards for a few pieces of silver, and maybe I will show mercy and agree to your request."

Bai Shuang managed to force a smile: "Sister really loves to joke."

Su Ci said seriously, "Who is joking with you? Don't you even look at your own moral character? You don't even have the most basic manners when asking for help. Why should I, the mother of a country, accompany you out of the palace? Am I too bored or is there something wrong with your brain?"

Bai Shuang looked unhappy after being rebuked by Su Ci.

She really wanted to point at Su Ci's nose and ask her how she could be so mean, but she didn't dare, because Su Ci was favored by Zhao Shizhu, while she was nothing.

If she offended Su Ci, there would be no place for her in this harem.

"Someone, throw Bai Shuang out of here!" Su Ci was too lazy to play along any more and for the first time she acted like a queen.

Bai Shuang was dragged out of the palace by the people of Kunning Palace and thrown to the ground without dignity. She clenched her fists and thought to herself, "Don't let Su Ci fall into her hands, otherwise she will make Su Ci regret living in this world!"

After sending Bai Shuang away, Su Ci was actually curious about what method Zhao Shizhu would use to find out Liu Hu's whereabouts.

There is an irreconcilable hatred between Zhao Shizhu and Liu Hu, and this feud must be settled. As a pregnant woman, she is too lazy to get involved.

She was curious about Su Hua's life or death. The comments were very quiet this morning, not a single comment. This was a bit strange.

"I wonder if Su Hua is dead or not?" She murmured to herself, just to test whether the barrage would react.

The result was very quiet, with no comments popping up to answer her questions.

Very good, something went wrong again at the critical moment. I’m sure the audience watching the show were also confused.

Su Ci stopped worrying about this issue and focused on taking care of her pregnancy.

Bai Shuang was embarrassed in front of Su Ci and found that she couldn't trick Su Ci out of the palace unless she told Su Ci that Su Hua was still alive and used this as bait to lure Su Ci out of the palace.

But Su Ci also said that she didn't care about Su Hua's life or death. Facing such a cold-blooded woman, she had no way to deal with it.

Two days passed peacefully, and then at midnight, Qi Xi suddenly broke in.

Zhao Shizhu looked at the sleeping Su Ci and signaled Qixi to talk later. Then he got up and left the bedroom.

After he left the dormitory, Su Ci also opened her eyes. The barrage had disappeared in the past two days, and she had to rely on herself.

She followed him out quietly and eavesdropped, and heard Qi Xi whisper to Zhao Shizhu: "As your majesty expected, Liu Hu's people wanted to attack Xuanping Marquis's mansion. Because your majesty informed Xuanping Marquis in advance, Liu Hu did not gain any advantage this time, but Su Fu..."

"What's wrong with my brother?" Su Ci couldn't help but asked loudly.

Qi Xi subconsciously looked at Zhao Shizhu, not knowing whether to tell the truth.

Seeing this, Su Ci said angrily, "Su Fu is my brother, what are you looking at Your Majesty doing?"

Zhao Shizhu realized that he could no longer hide it, and knowing Su Ci's temper, he signaled Qi Xi to speak frankly.

"Lord Su has been poisoned. It is said that he has been poisoned for a long time. He might have been poisoned when he was in Liangzhou. Liu Hu means that if you want Lord Su's antidote, you have to exchange her for the Empress." Qi Xi said, not daring to look at Zhao Shizhu's expression.

"No!" Zhao Shizhu said without hesitation.

Su Ci glared at Zhao Shizhu: "That's my brother, of course you can't say no. My brother has loved me the most since I was a child. He was poisoned because of me. I can't just watch him die of poisoning and do nothing!"

Zhao Shizhu tried to persuade Su Ci: "Ah Ci, I will find the antidote, don't worry——"

Su Ci refused to listen to Zhao Shizhu's persuasion. She said angrily, "Why shouldn't I be anxious? My brother was poisoned in Liangzhou. If he is not detoxified in time, the poison will invade his internal organs and he will be beyond rescue. Your Majesty, I have never begged you for anything, but I beg you this time. Please exchange me for my brother's antidote. I cherish my life more than anyone else. I will wait for you to save me."

Zhao Shizhu looked at Su Ci steadily, speaking with sadness: "Have you ever thought of me? You can't let Su Fu get into trouble, and can I personally deliver you to Liu Hu?"

She was the only woman he had ever loved in his life, and he had lost her once before. How could he dare to gamble?
