PFC Chapter 220 Night Visit to the Palace
Chapter 220 Night Visit to the Palace
Xiaoxiao chimed in, "I want to be as amazing as Auntie!"
Everyone was amused by Bao Bao and Xiao Xiao's words, making the atmosphere even warmer and more joyful.
The New Year's Eve dinner lasted until late at night, and everyone was a little tipsy.
Just then, a burst of firecrackers suddenly came from outside, and colorful fireworks illuminated the night sky.
Su Yinyin said with a smile, "Let's go out and watch the fireworks."
The family came out into the yard, watching the dazzling fireworks, their hearts filled with warmth and joy. The fireworks bloomed, illuminating everyone's faces; for a moment, it seemed as if time had stopped.
After the fireworks ended, everyone returned to the table to continue eating, drinking, and chatting.
Su Yi said with emotion, "Yinyin, our family has been so lively and happy this year."
Su Yi's eyes were filled with a deep appreciation for this heartwarming moment.
Su Yinyin smiled and nodded: "Things will get better and better in the future."
As the night deepened, everyone remained immersed in the joyful atmosphere and were reluctant to leave.
Looking at her family, Su Yinyin felt a surge of happiness and contentment. She was beginning to get used to this atmosphere. She and her grandmother were now each other's only support.
After her grandmother passed away, she was all alone. Later, she had a baby, Su Yi, Lao Yi, Bixia, and other friends.
Yes, they are good friends. Su Yinyin has always considered them friends.
He was a friend who would risk his life for her, a friend who was loyal to her!
Just as everyone was chatting enthusiastically, Lao Yi walked up to Su Yinyin and said in a low voice, "Miss, you've had a little to drink, it's best if you don't show yourself."
The first man's expression was serious, and his eyes showed concern.
Su Yinyin nodded, agreeing with Lao Yi's concerns. She took out a small bottle from her bosom and placed it in Lao Yi's hand: "Jin, give this to the Pavilion Master and ask him to go to the palace."
The old man glanced at Su Yinyin, nodded, and turned to leave.
No sooner had the old man left than Zhou Yuan's personal bodyguard, Shadow, rushed over.
When Su Yinyin arrived at the flower hall, she saw An Ying pacing back and forth, looking very anxious.
"Princess, the Prince asked me to inform you that Her Majesty the Empress's condition is very serious, and the imperial physicians are helpless." Shadow's voice was filled with anxiety and worry.
Su Yinyin frowned deeply: "How could this be?"
The guard continued, "His Highness suspects this matter is related to what happened before. He told me to tell you that he will continue to investigate, so please be careful in the palace."
Su Yinyin nodded: "I understand, you can go ahead and get busy."
After the guards left, Su Yinyin felt that things were becoming increasingly complicated. Just then, Su Yi walked over.
Su Yi asked, "Yinyin, is there any progress?"
Su Yinyin shook her head: "No, is the Empress Dowager the Empress Dowager's target? Or is it a feint by the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Su Yinyin's eyes were filled with doubt and worry.
Su Yi pondered for a moment and said, "No matter what, we need to make plans as soon as possible. If it is really related to the Dowager Consort, her next move is hard to predict."
Su Yi's expression was solemn, and her tone was serious.
Su Yinyin gritted her teeth, "I want to go to the palace to find out what's going on."
Su Yi quickly stopped him, "It's too risky for you to go now. Various forces are secretly stirring up trouble. If you show up at the palace, you'll likely face a lot of problems."
Su Yi frowned, her face full of worry.
Su Yinyin smiled and said, "If I go secretly, how will they know I went to the palace?"
Su Yinyin's eyes revealed determination and confidence.
Su Yi sighed helplessly, "I understand your thoughts, but you...!"
Su Yinyin stopped her, saying, "I don't plan to go into the palace alone. I'll go with Jin when he comes back."
As soon as Su Yinyin finished speaking, she turned and went back to the villa.
Back at the villa, Su Yue and the others were still chatting, all looking very energetic.
Suddenly remembering something, Su Yinyin stepped forward and said to them, "Let's go to the storeroom."
Upon hearing this, Su Yue and the others excitedly followed Su Yinyin to the warehouse.
The warehouse door slowly opened, revealing it filled with all sorts of rare and precious treasures.
Su Yinyin pointed to a pile of items and said, "These are all prepared for you. Pick what you like."
Su Yue and Su Nian'an excitedly began to choose, with Lin Jie offering advice from the side.
In the end, they only managed to take a few items.
Su Yinyin couldn't stand it any longer and said, "These are gifts from your older sister. You only took these few things. You really look down on me."
Su Yue said somewhat embarrassedly, "Big sister, this is already a lot. We can't be too greedy."
Su Nian'an nodded in agreement: "Yes, eldest sister, you've been very kind to us."
Su Yinyin pretended to be angry: "Take as much as I tell you to, why are you being so polite with me?"
Su Yue and Su Nian'an then picked out a few more of their favorites.
Finally, Su Yinyin couldn't bear to watch any longer and filled a box for each person.
Su Yinyin directly took out several silver notes and handed them to Lin Jie!
Seeing this, Lin Jie directly refused, saying, "Big sister, Nian'an and I eat your food, use your things, and even stay in such a nice place. We have no way to repay you, how can I take your money?"
Su Yinyin stuffed the silver note into Lin Jie's hand and said, "This is a little something from your sister. Take it and think about what to do with it."
Besides, we're family, so there's no need for formalities. If they told you to take it, just take it.
Lin Jie's eyes reddened with emotion as he said, "Big sister, then I'll accept it. If you ever need my help, please don't hesitate to ask."
Su Yinyin smiled and nodded: "Okay, let's go back."
Lin Jie turned around and handed the money to Su Nian'an.
Su Yinyin noticed this detail and became even more satisfied with Lin Jie.
Everyone returned to the living room with their gifts and were talking when Jin came back.
The old man hurried towards Su Yinyin, his voice extremely low, as if afraid of being overheard. "Miss, the Pavilion Master assures you that you can go without worry; he will take care of things in the palace."
Su Yinyin took a deep breath, her eyes revealing determination: "Okay, then let's set off immediately."
Her tone was decisive, without the slightest hesitation.
The old man looked completely bewildered, his brows furrowed and his eyes filled with worry as he looked at Su Yinyin. "Miss, are we going to the palace?"
Su Yinyin nodded and said, "Jin understands me so well that I don't even need to say it."
A slight upturn at the corners of her mouth revealed a confident smile.
Su Yi was still full of worry, holding Su Yinyin's arm tightly: "Yinyin, please be careful."
Su Yi's eyes were filled with concern and unease.
Su Yinyin patted Su Yi's hand and gently comforted him, "Brother, don't worry, I'll be fine."
Her voice was gentle yet firm, giving people a sense of reassurance.
After saying that, Su Yinyin and Lao Yi quickly changed into their night clothes. The night clothes clung tightly to their bodies, as if they had become one with the darkness.
Taking advantage of the deep darkness, they moved like two shadowy figures quietly toward the palace, their figures quickly disappearing into the vast night.
