Xiao Ce didn't want to stay any longer, so he gave the painting back to Wu Xirou and walked away without looking back.
Wu Xirou was left standing there, her eyes full of sorrow, watching Xiao Ce's slender figure disappear into the bright sky, and her heart felt desolate.
This time she had no reason to pursue him. She was not as shameless as Qin Zhao, nor was she not afraid of death like Qin Zhao...
"Empress, let's go back to Zhongcui Palace first, so as not to make people laugh." Seeing that Wu Xirou seemed to have lost her soul, Liuli reminded her in a low voice.
Wu Xirou looked at Liuli and raised her lips sarcastically: "Do you think I am a joke?"
Liuli's face changed slightly, and she hurriedly defended: "Of course not, I just think that this is Jinyang Palace after all, and there are many people here, so I'd better be careful!"
To avoid being judged right and wrong.
Wu Xirou smiled coldly and walked away.
I don’t know whether it was Liuli Crow Mouth or someone who really knew something that happened in Jinyang Palace. In the afternoon, news came out from the harem, saying that Qin Zhao disliked the virtuous concubine and deliberately molested the virtuous concubine. This news spread in the harem.
.
Others said that Wu Xirou was not good enough in front of Qin Zhao and was completely crushed by Qin Zhao. She had no room to interrupt in the whole process and was reduced to a foil.
Even so, Wu Xirou shamelessly pestered Xiao Ce and was unwilling to leave.
Even the story that Wu Xirou used a new painting to please Xiao Ce, but was scolded by Xiao Ce in the end was spread vividly.
Some people are not sure whether this thing is true, and some people think it must be true. After all, Wu Xirou took a painting and chased it from the Yangxin Palace to the Jinyang Palace. Many people know this detail.
See.
Liuli was furious when she heard the news and told Wu Xirou immediately.
After hearing this, Wu Xirou smiled instead of getting angry: "Who is deliberately ruining my reputation behind my back?"
What is the purpose of making her the joke of the entire harem?
"Needless to say, of course it was the Imperial Concubine. That happened in the main hall of Jinyang Palace. It was not the Imperial Concubine. Who would let this incident spread so maliciously? It was clearly the Imperial Concubine who was seeking revenge on the Imperial Concubine!" Liuli was furious.
Answer the call.
Wu Xirou frowned slightly: "Not necessarily..."
"The empress is still thinking about the good concubine at this time, but she doesn't know that the concubine is already thinking of ways to deal with the virtuous concubine. The empress needs to be prepared." Liuli said anxiously before Wu Xirou could finish.
Wu Xirou fell silent.
Just as Liuli said, Qin Zhao had the motive to do this. Moreover, they were in the main hall of Jinyang Palace at that time. These things happened in the main hall. If someone in the main hall hadn't spread this incident, who else would
Do you have the ability to reveal the whole story so thoroughly?
She and Qin Zhao were friends before, and Qin Zhao didn't deal with her. But from the moment Qin Zhao moved into the cold palace, she was planning for herself. There's no reason why a person like Qin Zhao couldn't figure it out.
Every time she has dealt with Qin Zhao recently, Qin Zhao has been sarcastic and sarcastic towards her. Now that he has finally found an opportunity to ruin her reputation, Qin Zhao will not leave any room.
Fangruo was also advising at this time: "Your Majesty, you must never trust the Imperial Concubine again. The Imperial Concubine has always been punished by others. We need to think of countermeasures to counterattack."
As soon as she finished speaking, Liuli was also lobbying.
Wu Xirou felt a headache when she heard this: "Stop talking and let me think about it carefully."
She is now weak, does not have Qin Zhao's high status, and does not have Xiao Ce's protection. She may not be able to gain anything by confronting Qin Zhao head-on.
She only has one advantage right now. Her brother is about to return to Beijing to report on his duties. He always dotes on her. With his brother as a general protecting her, she can straighten her waist in the harem.
Liuli still wanted to speak, but Fangruo hurriedly grabbed her, shook her head, and pulled her out of the room.
As soon as they went outside, Liuli said: "Your Majesty is too warm-tempered. She is afraid of tigers in front of you and wolves in the back. That's why she was bullied like this by the Imperial Concubine."
"You have no evidence to prove that the imperial concubine did it, so how can you be sure that the imperial concubine harmed the virtuous imperial concubine?" Fangruo shook his head and said, "I think you are too arbitrary!"
"Those things happened in the main hall. Only the people in the main hall know about it. Who else but the imperial concubine?" Liuli was a little excited.
Fangruo looked at Liuli like this and suddenly felt a little scared: "I think you seem to be as eager as before. It would be good if you can help Concubine Xian solve the problem. If you can't, I'm afraid you will harm Concubine Xian in the future."
Concubine."
Liuli was stunned for a moment, and it took her a while to recover: "Really?"
She is just afraid that she cannot bear to see her master being bullied. Is it her fault that she is loyal to the Concubine Xian?
"You should calm down first, just think it's for the good of the Concubine Xian." Fangruo said and walked away.
In Jinyang Palace, after Qin Zhao took a nap, he heard everyone in Jinyang Palace discussing the fact that Wu Xirou was so suppressed by her that she could not lift her head up.
She was actually a little confused. The people serving in Jinyang Palace were unlikely to spread the word everywhere, so who spread the news?
Could it be Sapphire?
Then she saw an opportunity and called Baozhu to her side to inquire.
Bao Zhu shook his head and said: "After the queen takes a nap, the slaves are also resting in the next room. Why don't you ask Xiao Linzi."
Qin Zhao had no choice but to call Xiao Linzi over for questioning, but Xiao Linzi said that he was staying outside and did not leave. He did not know whether Baolan had left or not, so he had no answer.
Qin Zhao felt that no one knew about Bao Lan, but did that mean there was something suspicious about Bao Lan?
The other party reported that she suppressed Wu Xirou so much that she couldn't hold her head up. On the surface, it seemed like Wu Xirou was a joke to everyone, but on the other hand, didn't it make everyone think that she was strong?
If Xiao Ce knew about this, he would definitely think that she was a strong person and was deliberately trying to suppress Wu Xirou.
Taking advantage of the situation can also arouse Wu Xirou's hatred towards her and deepen the conflict between her and Wu Xirou.
In her opinion, this move is really good.
It doesn't matter what Wu Xirou thinks. Anyway, she and Wu Xirou have never had a close relationship. What she cares about is Xiao Ce's opinion of her.
The relationship between her and Xiao Ce has finally eased. If the rumors spread today bring the relationship between her and Xiao Ce back to the freezing point, her efforts will be ruined. Of course she will be unhappy.
Counting the days, Wu Zhenyu is about to return to Beijing to report on his work, which should be within these few days.
It happened that the news of her bullying Wu Xirou came out at this time. This timing was too coincidental.
If there really needs to be an owner for the position of the middle palace, Wu Xirou undoubtedly has a great chance of winning. Just because Wu Zhenyu has made military exploits, Xiao Ce must appease such a humble minister.
It is said that even the Fuguo General's Mansion has been prepared, and Wu Zhenyu can move in as soon as he returns to Beijing. This shows how much Xiao Ce values Wu Zhenyu.
