After Xiao Ce walked away, Zhang Jixiang whispered to Qin Zhao: "The emperor means that he will treat your concubine well in the future. Don't worry about me."
Qin Zhao smiled and said, "Follow me, the Emperor will never be without you."
Zhang Jixiang responded in a low voice and hurriedly followed.
Qin Zhao stood still for a while, then looked at the letter sent by an unknown person. She still didn't understand what the other party's true intention was.
Why did that person lead her to see Wu Zhenyu?
The news about Wu Zhenyu's return to Beijing soon spread throughout the harem. Only then did she realize that she had met Wu Zhenyu earlier in the Magnolia Garden.
Hearing that Wu Zhenyu went straight to Guang Magnolia Garden as soon as he returned to the palace, Xiao Ce condescended to see Wu Zhenyu when he heard that Wu Zhenyu was in Guang Magnolia Garden.
When she heard about this, she felt even more strange.
If Xiao Ce hadn't gone to Guang Magnolia Garden earlier than her, and if she had been earlier, wouldn't she have met Wu Zhenyu alone?
If Xiao Ce happened to come over again and saw her and Wu Zhenyu meeting alone, wouldn't he be caught and raped by Xiao Ce?
Only then did she realize that the matter was serious and that someone had deliberately set a trap for her to jump.
But she didn't understand why Wu Zhenyu didn't go directly to meet the saint after entering the palace, but instead went to Guangyu Orchid Garden. What kind of bait did the other party use to lure Wu Zhenyu to Guangyu Orchid Garden?
Thinking about it this way, the person who delivered the letter clearly wanted to get rid of Wu Xirou and her at the same time.
After all, Wu Zhenyu is Wu Xirou's brother. She had an affair with Wu Xirou's brother, so she could not end well. Wu Xirou was also implicated by Wu Zhenyu.
The opponent's move killed two birds with one stone. It was really a clever plan.
In Zhongcui Palace, Wu Xirou also saw Wu Zhenyu, and she had the same question in her mind.
"After my brother entered the palace, why didn't he go to the Yangxin Hall to meet the saint, but instead went to the Guangyu Orchid Garden? I heard that Sister Qin also went to the Guangyu Orchid Garden. What happened?" Wu Xirou asked several questions in succession.
Wu Zhenyu looked indifferent: "I was just taking a walk, and who knows, I ended up in that garden."
"Really?!" Wu Xirou didn't quite believe what Wu Zhenyu said.
Her brother was an emotionally reserved person. She had never thought before that he would become a general one day. In her opinion, he was more like an outsider and should not be involved in the troubles of the world.
If he had taken part in the imperial examination, his elder brother would have been the top scholar, but then he suddenly decided to join the army, and he had been on the battlefield for more than ten years.
"Of course it's true. Xirou, are you okay in the palace?" Wu Zhenyu quietly changed the subject.
"That's it. Although I am a virtuous concubine, I have not had the opportunity to sleep with him in the past few years since I entered the palace. I don't know how to please the emperor like Sister Qin." Speaking of her current situation, Wu Xirou lowered her eyebrows.
.
"I've never heard you say that you wanted to enter the palace before. Why did you suddenly change your mind? Are you really interested in the emperor?" Wu Zhenyu asked.
If not for the true feelings, how could my sister worry about gains and losses?
"When the Emperor was still His Highness the Crown Prince, I heard in Yongzhou that His Highness the Crown Prince was going to choose the Crown Princess. I just wanted to make a name for myself, so I went to Beijing, and then I met the Emperor. Unexpectedly, I fell in love with the Emperor at first sight.
." Wu Xirou smiled bitterly: "Emotional matters are beyond my control."
Wu Zhenyu thoughtfully said: "To be tempted by the emperor is undoubtedly asking for trouble. By the way, do you get along well with the imperial concubine?"
"That's it. In the past, when Sister Qin and the Emperor were on good terms, I was often jealous of Sister Qin. Now, Sister Qin is despised by the Emperor..."
"Didn't you say that the imperial concubine is doted on the harem? If so, how could the emperor dislike the imperial concubine?!" Wu Zhenyu asked unconsciously.
Wu Xirou looked at Wu Zhenyu suspiciously: "Brother cares about Sister Qin very much?"
In her impression, her brother and Qin Zhao have no intersection, right?
Wu Zhenyu slowly shook his head: "The imperial concubine and I have nothing to do with each other. I am just worried that you will not have a good life in the palace..."
Wu Xirou listened quietly, and after a while she suddenly said: "Brother, I want to be the queen."
She didn't dare to think about this before, but her brother is now a general, and she also has the support of people like him behind her, so it is not impossible for her to aspire to the position of the middle palace.
As long as her brother fully supports her, she may become Xiao Ce's official wife.
Even if she can't become Xiao Ce's favorite woman, she still wants to be Xiao Ce's wife. If she becomes the queen, then the other concubines will be just concubines, including Qin Zhao.
She has lived two lives and loved Xiao Ce for two lives. If she can finally become his queen, then she will die in peace.
Wu Zhenyu didn't expect to hear this sentence from Wu Xirou. After a moment of silence, he said: "Being with a king is like accompanying a tiger. Do you know what you are doing? There are so many concubines in the harem. Besides you, there are many people who want to get involved in this.
Location……"
"I thought my brother would support me. Except for Sister Qin, there is no concubine in this harem with a higher status than me. Sister Qin has been married before, and the Qin family is a merchant family. With her status, it is impossible for her to become a queen. Except Sister Qin
"Who else in this harem can rival me? As long as I have my brother's help, I think I have a great chance of becoming the master of the harem." Wu Xirou interrupted Wu Zhenyu.
She had never thought about this issue before, but since her brother was named the general of the auxiliary country and she also received rewards, she realized one thing clearly at that time. His brother, the general of the auxiliary country, was her biggest supporter.
"I don't want you to be the queen." Wu Zhenyu pondered for a moment before saying.
"Why? Brother, you have to give me a reason to convince me." Wu Xirou lowered her face, not expecting that her most respected brother would not support her at a critical moment.
Wu Zhenyu said in a deep voice: "The reason is very simple. I don't want another woman like Auntie Toffee to appear in the Wu family. Auntie Toffee must be strong all her life, but in the end she will end up being left alone? You said you want to be the queen, the problem is
Is this what you want to be? Do you think that with my support, the emperor will make you his queen? Xirou, when did you become so ambitious?!"
"I just admire the emperor and want to be his wife. My brother is not me, so I don't know how much I suffered in the palace. The reason why my aunt failed is because she failed to become the queen..."
"That's enough, this matter is not up to you and me. You should calm down first, and I will come to the palace to visit you when I have a chance." Wu Zhenyu didn't want to hear any more, so he stood up and left Zhongcui Palace.
Wu Xirou did not expect such a result.
She didn't just have the idea of becoming a queen today. She had this idea when she learned that her brother had become the general of the auxiliary country and that she was also very successful.
The news that she was humiliated in Jinyang Palace caused a stir in the harem, which made her feel that only if she became the queen and took control of the management of the harem, she would not be so humiliated.
But why is her brother unwilling to help her?
