Chapter 240: Counterattack an army
Since Qiu Shui's rise, Nian Su's time waiting in front of Xiao Ce has been significantly reduced.
If she had been waiting for Xiao Ce for 29 out of the past 30 days, now she was only on duty for about 10 out of the 30 days.
There is no place for Nian Su in such a big occasion as today.
Nian Su has suffered more anger in the past month than she has experienced since entering the East Palace combined.
Now that she saw Qin Zhao as the culprit, old and new hatreds surged into Nian Su's heart. However, she was just a palace maid. No matter how much resentment she had, she still had to salute Qin Zhao: "I wish you peace, my dear."
"Yeah." Qin Zhao walked away like a gust of wind without giving Nian Su a look.
Niansu looked at Qin Zhaofenghuo's back and clenched his fists.
If there is a chance in the future, she will definitely repay Qin Liangdi's "kindness" to her. She believes that such a day will come, and the future is long.
Qin Zhao rushed to Wangyue Residence as quickly as possible, and she saw the strange man. Although she didn't know who he was, it was obvious that Wu Xiyu had found this man.
After thinking for a moment, Qin Zhao explained the four treasures in this way.
Next, Baozhu went to Wangqiu Pavilion and asked Wu Xiyu to come to Wangyue Residence.
Wu Xiyu was feeling uneasy. When she heard that Baozhu asked her to stay at Wangyue Residence, she made an excuse: "It's getting late today and I was about to go to bed. I'll go to Wangyue Residence tomorrow to pay my respects to Sister Qin."
Baozhu had expected that Wu Xiyu would refuse, so she said quietly: "Liangdi said, what I want to talk to Liangyuan today is about the sweet-scented osmanthus brew. If I don't tell Liangyuan clearly today, Liangdi may not be able to sleep tonight."
If Liangdi can't sleep, she will be in a bad mood. If she is in a bad mood, Liangdi may go to the imperial court and ask the emperor for justice."
When Wu Xiyu heard that the matter was going to be brought to the imperial court, she felt bad. She pondered for a moment before making up her mind: "That's it, I'll go with you."
Wu Xiyu was a little nervous, fearing that Qin Zhao would make trouble, so she simply took Aunt Zhong and Luo Xia with her to Wangyue Residence.
Little did they know that as soon as they left Wangqiu Pavilion, a figure would sneak in with a big bag...
When they approached Wangyue Residence, Grandma Zhong saw that Wu Xiyu was nervous, so she comforted her: "Liangyuan, there is no need to be nervous, I will protect you."
Wu Xiyu forced a smile: "As long as grandma is here, I'm not worried."
These words were very helpful to Grandma Zhong.
When they entered Wangyue Residence, Qin Zhao was waiting in the living room.
"Wu Liangyuan, how brave are you to add medicine to the sweet-scented osmanthus wine?!" Qin Zhao shouted in a deep voice.
Although Wu Xiyu was prepared, she was still surprised by Qin Zhao's angry shout.
She calmed down for a while and then said: "Sister, I don't know what Sister Qin means."
"You don't know?! I just took a sip of your sweet-scented osmanthus wine and I fell asleep. How dare you say that you didn't put anything dirty in the sweet-scented osmanthus wine?!" Qin Zhao asked coldly.
Seeing this, Aunt Zhong smiled and said: "Everything requires evidence. Qin Liangdi said that our Liangyuan put something dirty in the sweet-scented osmanthus wine. Is there any evidence?"
The jar of sweet-scented osmanthus wine has been destroyed, and no one knows what is inside.
As for the nobles in other villas in the East Palace, all of them regarded Qin Zhao as an enemy, so they all fell asleep at this hour. Unless an imperial doctor was invited to diagnose at this time, there would be no evidence when they woke up.
It is impossible for other beauties in the East Palace to cooperate with Qin Zhao in the investigation.
The most important thing is that His Highness the Crown Prince will not allow Qin Zhao to fool around in the East Palace in the middle of the night.
"I think my sister has misunderstood. My jar of osmanthus wine was a gift from the imperial concubine. The imperial concubine also said that day that this osmanthus wine is also called osmanthus drunkenness. It has a lot of stamina. If a person who is not good at drinking drinks it, he will be cured in one sip.
Drunk. Sister, no matter how stupid I am, there is no way I would do such a thing in front of so many people." Wu Xiyu replied softly.
Qin Zhao looked at Wu Xiyu suspiciously: "You didn't lie?"
Wu Xiyu had already made up her mind: "Of course not."
Qin Zhao pondered for a moment and then said: "Tomorrow I will ask the imperial doctor to come and take my pulse. If it proves that I am fine, I will believe you. You'd better tell the truth! Baozhu, see you off."
As soon as Wu Xiyu heard her words, she felt relieved.
The medicine added to the sweet-scented osmanthus brew was not harmful in the first place, but it did make me sleepy after drinking it, but that was all. After one night, there was no trace of it.
It was impossible for Qin Zhao to find out anything.
After leaving Wangyue Ju, Grandma Zhong looked back at Wangyue Ju: "I always feel that there is something wrong with this matter. If Qin Liangdi is suspicious of Liangyuan, why don't you go to the imperial doctor to diagnose her pulse tonight?"
How could I let Liang Yuan go so easily? No matter how I thought about it, I felt something was wrong.
"Maybe it's too late?" Luoxia answered from the side: "Anyway, this is a good thing, why does Grandma Zhong have to be so troublesome?"
"I still think this is inappropriate..."
"Then tell me, mama, what's wrong? If there is anything wrong, mama can tell Liangyuan and we can work out a solution together." Luoxia's tone was slightly disdainful.
According to her, Grandma Zhong just wants Liang Yuan to be bad.
Aunt Zhong couldn't answer for a moment. She looked at Wu Xiyu, but Wu Xiyu was a little distressed: "Qin Zhao is conscious and our plan must be terminated. That person should know what to do, right?"
"Don't worry, Liangyuan, I've made an agreement with him. If the situation goes wrong, the plan will be suspended at any time." Aunt Zhong replied.
"That's good. It's a pity that I missed such a good opportunity. I don't know when I will plot against Qin Zhao next time. That's all. Let's rest early tonight."
After returning to Wangqiu Pavilion, Wu Xiyu took an early rest.
It wasn't until everyone in Wangqiu Pavilion rested that Bao Yuan, who had been hiding for a long time, appeared. She tapped the sleeping point of the young palace maid on duty, then Wu Xiyu's sleeping point, and then threw the person onto Wu Xiyu's couch.
She avoided Grandma Zhong who was guarding the door and escaped quietly...
The next morning, when Wu Xiyu woke up, she heard noises coming from far away.
When she opened her chaotic eyes, she saw Qin Zhao and Li Chenghui standing not far away, looking at her in surprise.
"Sister, how could you steal someone behind His Highness's back..." Li Chenghui was the first to react and asked sharply.
Only then did Wu Xiyu realize that there was someone on her bed, and it was a man.
She was so frightened that her face turned as white as paper, and she rolled and jumped off the bed, "I, I don't, I don't know him..."
"You don't know him, how could he be on your bed?" Qin Zhao curled his lips sarcastically.
Hearing Qin Zhao's voice, Wu Xiyu realized what was going on.
Yes, this person should have appeared in Wangyue Residence, and today she was supposed to lead someone to catch the traitor, but now it was Qin Zhao who came to catch her traitor, and Qin Zhao also sent this person back to her.
It must be Qin Zhao...
"Qin Liangdi, it was you who sent this person here, it was you..." Wu Xiyu pointed at Qin Zhao with her slender fingers trembling slightly.

Good night my dears, go to bed early and don't stay up late.
