Reincarnated as the Abandoned Daughter of a Marquis's Mansion: I Take Control of My Life

Chapter 277 The Hidden Thoughts of Various Groups

The maids beside Princess Siran were all silent and trembling, even their breathing became cautious, and they dared not utter a sound.

The entire room seemed shrouded in a thick haze, and the oppressive atmosphere seemed to materialize, making one feel almost suffocated.

Princess Siran's face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm, as if water could drip down at any moment.

She roared angrily, "This princess will definitely kill her!"

Her tone was filled with murderous intent, as if Su Yinyin had already become her prey and was destined to die.

After returning from the palace, Su Yinyin met with Su Yi and Lao Yi in the study of the villa.

The three of them looked extremely serious, intently discussing their next course of action.

Su Yi's expression was solemn, her brows were tightly furrowed, and her eyes were full of deep worry.

He said slowly, "Yinyin, the current situation is becoming increasingly complex, like a dense net. We must be on high alert and deal with it with even greater care."

Su Yinyin nodded solemnly, her gaze firm and steady, and replied, "I know, brother. I think I have guessed the Emperor and Empress Dowager's true intentions."

The old man quickly followed up, "Miss, could it be that the emperor sent people to the village to investigate you, and then...!"

A hint of admiration flashed in Su Yinyin's eyes as she praised, "Jin, you're so clever. Just as you thought."

The people the emperor sent will surely return and tell him that there is a formation in the mountains.

The old man continued his analysis: "The emperor decided to bestow upon you the title of Princess Protector of the Nation in order to win you over, Miss."

Su Yi (Su Yao) nodded in agreement and said earnestly, "Yinyin, since that's the case, we must be even more careful and vigilant, and we must not let our guard down."

Su Yinyin nodded slightly and said, "Yes, yes. It seems the emperor knows his stuff and understands the power of formations."

Su Yi (Su Yao) said with a hint of envy, "In the whole world, I'm afraid you're the only one who knows this magical formation, Yin Yin?"

Su Yinyin smiled modestly and said, "I guess so. But the world is vast and full of wonders. There are always things beyond our understanding, and people beyond our reach. We should still maintain a low profile."

However, the emperor's move was indeed somewhat unexpected.

After a moment of contemplation, Su Yi (Su Yao) said, "That's fine too. In this turbulent situation, perhaps by using each other, we can achieve temporary peace."

"Your Majesty, has Emperor Murong Yu of the Great Yan Kingdom received news of the Empress's death?" Su Yinyin's gaze was sharp as a sword, revealing a hint of urgency.

The first man replied respectfully, "Miss, the eighth man and the others have already taken care of all the people involved."

The Regent's side is also keeping quiet. Murong Yu will arrive in the capital tomorrow.

Su Yinyin nodded in satisfaction, her expression slightly relaxed, and said, "Well done. We must not let the Emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom get the news so quickly."

Otherwise, the situation will only become more complicated and chaotic. After all, the person died in our Great Zhou Kingdom.

Su Yi (Su Yao) said worriedly, "Yinyin, Princess Siran probably won't let this go."

She's in league with the Empress of the Great Yan Kingdom, and Princess Siran has always followed the Empress's lead; she'll likely bring us many disadvantages.

Su Yinyin snorted coldly, a fierce glint in her eyes, and said, "What's there to be afraid of? The Empress is already dead anyway."

If Princess Siran dares to act recklessly, I will make sure she never leaves alive.

Has the situation regarding Lin Jie's family been clarified?

The old man answered them methodically: "Miss, we have investigated thoroughly and found that they are honest and law-abiding citizens."

Neither foolish, nor greedy, nor harboring any ulterior motives.

And in the magnificent palace of the royal palace.

The Empress Dowager sat on the magnificent phoenix chair, her face full of worry. Her sorrow seemed to be etched on her well-maintained face. She said, "My son, Yinyin is neither distant nor warm towards me."

The emperor frowned, pondered for a moment, and then said, "Mother, I think Su Yinyin probably already knows that I sent people to investigate her background."

The Empress Dowager nodded slightly, her eyes questioning, "My son, what should we do next?"

The emperor pondered for a long time before slowly saying, "Mother, you should treat Yinyin the same way you normally would. Treat her as your own daughter."

I will treat her as my own sister. Besides, haven't you always longed for a daughter?

Now that I have a daughter, she can share my burdens.

Upon hearing this, the Empress Dowager's eyes lit up instantly, and a look of anticipation appeared on her face. She said, "What my son says is absolutely right and makes perfect sense."

So the Empress Dowager hurriedly ordered the palace maids to open her private storeroom.

She wanted to personally select a gift for Su Yinyin.

The Empress Dowager spent two whole hours carefully selecting items from the storeroom, including food, clothing, accessories, and everything else imaginable. She then ordered the gifts to be carried into the Su residence.

Not to be outdone, the emperor sent box after box of priceless items into the Su residence in a continuous stream.

Subsequently, the Empress personally selected numerous valuable items and sent them to the Su residence.

Looking at the piles of gifts filling the courtyard, Su Yinyin sneered, a hint of mockery in her eyes, and said, "This display really thinks highly of me."

Su Yi (Su Yao) shook his head helplessly and sighed, "Since we're here, we might as well make the best of it, but we should also be careful and on guard, there might be some trickery going on inside."

The old man said boldly, "It's alright. As long as they dare to make a move on the young lady, I will definitely wipe them all out."

Su Yinyin said to Lao Yi in a coquettish tone, "Jin is still the best to me."

Just then, Biyu's voice came, interrupting the three's conversation.

"Miss, the Regent requests an audience," Biyu said as she entered.

Without even thinking, Su Yinyin said directly, "Go tell the Regent that there's really no need for us to meet."

If he misses the baby, you can take him to see the baby.

Biyu accepted the order and withdrew, but returned shortly afterward with a troubled expression. She said cautiously, "Miss, the Regent says he has something extremely important to discuss with you and insists on seeing you."

Su Yinyin frowned and said impatiently, "Then let him in."

As the regent walked into the courtyard, he couldn't help but recall the scenes of when he used to be able to freely come and go from here.

However, everything has changed now, and I can't help but feel a surge of indescribable emotions.
