Could she be the assassin?

Su Fei left Bright Moon Hall and wandered around the palace. His mind was filled with thoughts of that matter. If he claimed that he would never see him again in the future, then wouldn't he have a chance to take revenge?

Just as Su Fei was deep in thought, she bumped into Consort Shu. Consort Shu was also considered Su Xin's distant relative. Su Fei knew this clearly, but Consort Shu didn't know Su Fei.

"Su Fei, it seems like your injuries have recovered, right?" Su Fei walked up and asked in concern.

"He's completely recovered." Su Fei said.

"The Su Family can also be considered my distant relatives. Actually, this one is also a little worried about General Su being sent to the Fringe. Ever since you entered the palace, there have been countless accidents. In the future, it's best if you don't show off and get involved in matters peacefully. "

From the time Su Fei had performed, Consort Shu had already felt that it was inappropriate. In the end, problems would always occur with the favoured person, this was something Consort Shu understood the best.

"Consort Shu, thank you for thinking so much about the Su Family."

Su Fei said politely.

"But Su Fei, I remember that when you were young, you had a mole on your face. Why did it disappear when you grew up?" Consort Shu wanted to ask Su Fei from the first time she saw her, but she didn't say anything.

Su Fei quickly said, "There used to be one, but it disappeared when I grew up."

"Is that so? "It's so strange now?" The Consort Shu was puzzled.

Su Fei could only smile. It seemed that Consort Shu did not suspect her identity.

"If I remember correctly, there is a very large wutong tree in the Su Clan. Is that tree still there?" Consort Shu's words carried a tone of doubt.

"Yes, of course." Su Fei's expression changed slightly. What did this woman mean by asking all these? He shouldn't talk to this woman for too long, lest he say the wrong thing.

The Consort Shu said again, "Is that so? But how come I heard that it was cut a year ago? "

"Empress Dowager Consort Shu, my body suddenly feels a bit uncomfortable, so I'll head back to my room first." Su Fei immediately turned around and left.

"Su Fei, since you've come to the palace, be obedient and don't cause trouble." Consort Shu's warning tone.

"Thank you for the reminder, the Consort Shu. I will remember it." Su Fei Fei didn't know if she had already discovered her identity, but from her reminder, it seemed like even if she did, she wouldn't expose him. Moreover, a mole and the Wutong Tree couldn't prove anything.

Consort Shu's face sank as she watched Su Fei leave.

There had been no mole on her face when she was a child, and this woman had made her feel very strange, even though the last time they'd seen each other was more than a decade ago. But when she grew up, she would turn into a completely different person. This made her feel suspicious.

When Consort Shu came to the Huishang Hall to tell Qin Luofei about this, Qin Luofei gasped in astonishment.

"Consort Shu, do you suspect that Su Fei is not the real Consort Shu?"

The Consort Shu nodded her head and said: "That's right, if not for the fact that General Su had already gone to the Fringe, he could have gone to the palace to seek confirmation."

"But even if General Su finds out that she isn't his daughter, he wouldn't dare to admit it. If he admitted it, the Su Clan would not be able to escape responsibility. Where was the real Su Xin? They cannot afford the crime of bullying the monarch. "

Qin Luofei's analysis was very thorough. This way, no one would dare reveal Su Fei's true identity. If she was a fake Su Fei, then why did she come to the Imperial Palace?

"Right now, what I'm most worried about is the emperor. Do you think she could be an assassin?" Consort Shu was a little nervous.

Qin Luofei smiled and said, "Emperor Ming is very shrewd, you don't have to worry about your majesty, Big Sister Consort Shu. But what was Su Fei's purpose in coming to the palace? If you have the time, don't you know the truth when you go to the Su Family? "

"To the Su Family to take a look? "What do you think?" Consort Shu was confused.

"Go and take a look at some things regarding Su Xin. Make sure that the Su Xin in the palace is not the real Su Xin. "However, you should not tell anyone else about this until you have fully investigated this matter."

"I will only tell my sister that I am going to leave the palace for no reason at all."

"I do have a way."

Qin Luofei whispered to Consort Shu, who nodded after listening to her explanation.

"Then do as you say and see if this is true or not."

"Consort Shu, when did you first discover that she wasn't right?"

Consort Shu thought for a moment, then said: "The first time I saw it, I felt that something was wrong, but I didn't say it. Until today, when I met her and asked her about things from the past, I never would have thought that she would reply in the wrong way, and of course, my first instinct. "

"Mm, let's verify our guess."

"I wonder if Emperor Ming will agree to it. Let's try it out first."

After Consort Shu left the Huishang Hall, it was not hard to tell that she was worried about the Emperor Ming from her words. This was probably the reason why the Emperor Ming valued her and the Imperial Consort Leng. Although the Emperor Ming was cold and heartless, he still knew clearly who was good to him and who was resentful towards him.

He could still read her true thoughts from his eyes. Was this the result of him giving everything to this man in his previous life, resulting in him having a pair of eyes that could see through her thoughts in this life?

Qin Luofei took out the phoenix jade pendant. In her previous life, she had poured out everything. Was there no love in this life?

Why did this man so heartlessly receive their most sincere of loves, whether it was the Imperial Consort Yu or the Consort Shu, they all treated him very well. His heart was only filled with consideration for this man, but in the Emperor Ming's heart, who could he love? Qin Luofei had never been able to guess this man's identity. It was the same in both her past and present lives.

In order to quickly verify Su Fei's identity, Consort Shu followed Qin Luofei's suggestion and went to find Emperor Ming.

"Your Majesty, the Consort Shu Empress requests an audience." The father-in-law came in to pass on the message.

"Consort Shu?" Emperor Ming was puzzled, Consort Shu rarely took the initiative to visit him, why was it so sudden today?

"Let her in." Emperor Ming instructed.

"Greetings, your majesty. Is it alright to not see your majesty for a long time?" Consort Shu raised her head and looked at Emperor Ming, looking somewhat skinny.

"I wonder what business does Consort Shu have?"

"So many things have happened in the harem recently, now it's finally somewhat peaceful. Su Fei's condition has also recovered. Does Your Majesty still remember that General Su is a distant relative of Your Majesty's concubine? "

"If it wasn't for the fact that Love Consort didn't mention it, we would have forgotten." The relationship between Su Fei and the imperial concubine was quite complicated.

"Su Fei entered the palace for so long, but she never returned. This concubine hasn't been to the Su Mansion for a long time, so I hope that the emperor can let me go back with Su Fei for a trip to the Su Mansion. "

"Right now, General Su is at the border, fighting a war. Even if Love Consort goes there, he won't be able to see anyone." Emperor Ming had always been on guard against Emperor Ming Su Fei, and now Consort Shu wanted to bring her along to Su Mansion. Emperor Ming had no choice but to be extra careful. Although he believed that Consort Shu was loyal to him, Su Fei was still very worried.

"Chenqie and Madame Su have not seen each other for many years and I also want to go back and gather in the old days. "Therefore, chenqie wishes to leave the palace in two days, and wishes for Your Majesty's approval."

"Out of the palace? Bring Su Fei? " was very sensitive when Su Fei was mentioned.

"That's right, let's return to the Su Mansion together. Could it be that the emperor is still worried about me?" Consort Shu believed that the Emperor Ming trusted him.

"I didn't mean it that way. It's just that I'm not worried about you but Su Fei when we bring her back at this time."

If Su Fei was really the killer, then wouldn't they be letting go this time?

"Then, Your Majesty's concubine will go to the Su Mansion alone. Your concubine hasn't left the palace in a long time, and thus, I came to visit his family. "

"Love Consort left the palace alone. We have approved, but Su Fei has not recovered yet, so let her rest in peace in the palace."

"Thank you, your majesty."

It seemed that Qin Luofei truly understood the Emperor Ming to be exactly the same as what she had guessed. Emperor Ming would not allow Su Fei to leave the palace, so he allowed her to go out alone.

With the permission of the Emperor Ming, the Consort Shu left the palace the next day.

"Qin'er, help me into the palanquin." Consort Shu glanced at Qin Luofei who was dressed as a servant and said.

Qin Luofei disguised herself as a servant of the Consort Shu and left the palace.

It was only when they arrived at the entrance that the two of them heaved a sigh of relief.

"Little Sister Qin, don't you dare expose yourself. If the emperor finds out, the consequences will be unthinkable." Consort Shu was panic-stricken.

"Don't worry, I've already arranged for Sunset Chrysanthemum to cover it up for me." There were very few people coming and going from Huishang Hall, so no one will notice me leaving the palace. "

"I hope everything will be alright once we return."

"Don't worry, everything will be fine." Qin Luofei sat inside the carriage together, and the two of them headed towards the Su Mansion.

The Su Mansion was located to the far west of the capital, more than half a day's journey away from the Imperial Palace. Under the Emperor Ming's control, the scope of the capital expanded by quite a bit. However, when Qin Luofei arrived outside the palace, she discovered that the lives of the commoners outside were not as good as she had imagined.

"Sister Consort Shu, look at all the beggars outside." Qin Luofei lifted the curtain and saw groups of beggars by the roadside.

Consort Shu was silent for a moment, before she said, "The Emperor is righteous and benevolent, but it is hard to avoid him overthinking something."

After a few more minutes of walking, the carriage arrived at Su Mansion.

Consort Shu walked out of the carriage, looked at this place that hadn't been here for more than ten years, and sighed.

"It still hasn't changed, the Su Mansion had never been given any importance by the Emperor Ming, but now the General Su has suddenly sent someone to fight at the border, I wonder what the Madame Su is worried about."

Qin Luofei nodded, saying, "She should be, after all, I don't know when she'll be back."

"Who are you looking for?" As they were travelling in casual attire, the guards at the door stopped them.

"I'll have to trouble you to send word that distant relatives are here to visit." Consort Shu slowly said. After all, he did not want to reveal his true identity while outside.

Qin Luofei looked around, hoping to find some clues. Today, they came here with only one goal — to verify Su Fei's identity.

When the servant went in to report, the teacup of Madame Su, which was sitting in the main hall drinking tea, fell to the ground.

"A distant relative?" Her voice was trembling. Could it be that she had been discovered?

"Yes, two women."

It was not a disaster, it was a disaster that couldn't be avoided. Madame Su stood up and walked out. She never thought she would come knocking so quickly.

Madame Su walked to the door, but when she saw Qin Luofei and Consort Shu, she did not know them at all.

"Madame Su, do you still remember me? I am Sue. " Consort Shu took the initiative to greet him.

Madame Su hesitated for a moment before suddenly recalling it.

"Are you Sue? Is it Su'er, who entered the palace to become a Consort Shu? " Madame Su's eyes were filled with surprise and joy.

"Yes, that's me. I came back to see you. "

"It's been more than ten years since we've last met, please come in." Madame Su suddenly became very enthusiastic.
