Chapter 798: Arriving at the capital ——2

When the shadow guard heard the confident words of Su Bai, his pupils suddenly started to shake. What …What did this man say? A witch? He could actually push Imperial concubine Su to be burned alive. He thought about his scheming mistress and did not believe a single word that came out of Su Bai's mouth.      

When Su Bai saw that the shadow guard was not believing him, his expression changed to that of a distressful one. He was upset, he was annoyed and more importantly, he was truly enraged!      

" What are you looking at? Do you think that I am lying, do you think that I will not go and make a move against your mistress? Let me tell you I am a beggar who has nothing to lose but who is your mistress? She is Imperial concubine Su, the proud and arrogant, Imperial concubine Su. If I were to go around telling her past which is covered with dark history, do you think that others will believe me or her?"      

  As he spoke he paused and added, " Don't forget that I am a poor commoner while that Imperial concubine Su is an arrogant and vile woman whose temper and pride are known throughout the entire capital. If I was to make a ruckus then the other concubines will surely make their move, do you wish for me to make a move? Or are you going to do what I say?"      

This was what Su Wan had taught him, she told him that even if they were at the weak foot, they should make a loud noise. One that will not be ignored by others while keeping the winning bet in his hands.      

The shadow guard's expression changed as he nodded and left once he was gone, Su Bai turned to look at Lin Ze who nodded at him and then the two of them started to cry as they shrieked and cried along with the women of their families. With the help of Su Wan, they knew that the Imperial concubine Su who was sent to the imperial palace and was once found in the Su village after getting kidnapped and lost, the person who saved her was an old woman but she passed away ages ago.      

Back then the old woman was still young and Official Su's guards who were thankful to her for saving their mistress gave her, their word that their master will help her in the future but the old woman was a woman of pride and refused.      

The old woman was a woman of pride but Old Madam Su was not, she cried heavily as she intentionally and unintentionally mentioned about how her life was getting hard in the village, she even mentioned that she once saved Imperial concubine Su who was now sitting in the palace.     

" I… I have nothing left, look at me.. my son, my grandson and my granddaughter were all ruined by that scammer. I only asked for Imperial concubine Su to help me a little but the letters which I sent never returned—— I guess she is too busy, I mean…even if I am her saviour in the end I am just a commoner." As Old Madam Su cried she pinched her thigh discreetly causing two heavy beads of tears to fall from the corner of her eyes.      

Su Wan told them that they have to make themselves look kind and poor and were forced into a corner. To make sure that they were the ones who will have a preemptive strike instead of Imperial concubine Su in case she made a move first they will have no tears to shed!      

As long as they acted as her saviour and someone she owed her life to, she will not be able to attack them and even if she made a move there were many others who will be watching the second they started to move.      

The passer-by who heard the words of the crying old woman were stunned but then they thought of Imperial concubine Su's actions in the past and clicked their tongues.     ????????.???

What too busy? She was clearly ignoring these commoners since they were not of any use to her anymore. Maybe she even forgot them.      

How shameless and ungrateful was that woman! It was said that the grace of saving one's life was to be repaid by handing over their entire life to their benefactor and this old woman only asked for a few taels and yet Imperial concubine Su ignored her?     

Inside the imperial palace.     

Imperial concubine Su was drinking tea while thinking of another way to attract the attention of the emperor, she rubbed her belly and sighed, " Why is this belly of mine so disappointing? Even after sleeping with the emperor twice why can't I get pregnant?"      

As Imperial concubine Su spoke these words, she was extremely smug. This was what she deserved, to be treated with love and care—— only the best man of this country was deserving to sleep with her and not those ugly commoners! When she suddenly thought of those five brothers, Imperial concubine Su's expression changed as she turned to her maid and then asked, " Is there any news from our men? Why is it that I never heard about the miscarriage of that bitch? Is that bastard dead or not?"      

The maid who was standing behind Imperial concubine Su was no longer shocked upon hearing such vulgar words, she opened her mouth to reply but was interrupted when she saw a man running inside the palace and said, " It seems that the guards have returned, your Highness."      

Only then did Imperial concubine Su turned to look at the shadow guard and huff in anger as she took her shoe off and then threw it at the shadow guard who just returned.      

" Did I send you to have fun there? Why did you come only now? What were you doing, you useless man!" Imperial concubine Su had no qualms while scolding a small guard, she was not even bothered about hitting him. Apart from the Emperor, Imperial concubine Su no longer feared anyone after all who made her the royal Imperial concubine Su.     

She had no one other than the Empress above her!      

With that thought in her head, she shook her head and then tucked a lock behind her ear and then said, " Tell me the good news. Maybe this way I will be able to get pregnant soon, surely the fact that bitch is pregnant as well is weighing down on me making it impossible for me to get pregnant. Come on tell me that the bastard is gone."      

But the guard did not say what she wanted instead he shouted,     

" Your Highness! Someone named Su Bai is here to see you."
