Chapter 295 More grace
The Empress Dowager's visit to the East Palace was left undisturbed. Concubine Wu did not know the reason. It was not until two days later that news suddenly spread from the Cihe Palace that the Empress Dowager's phoenix body was in violation of the agreement.
This incident also alarmed the emperor.
When the emperor came to Cihe Palace, Concubine Wu had already arrived.
This was the first time she had seen the emperor since she came out of the cold palace. She had been blocked from the door when she went to the Yangxin Hall to meet the emperor before, but today was the perfect opportunity.
The emperor ignored Concubine Wu and went to the couch.
Concubine Wu looked gloomy when she saw this detail.
She never expected that the emperor would be so heartless towards her. If so, why did he let her out of the cold palace?
When the Queen Mother saw the emperor coming, she struggled to sit up and asked, "Why is the emperor here?"
"The Queen Mother's phoenix body is inconsistent with her body. How can a son not come to visit?" The emperor said, looking at Dr. Lai: "If your medical skills are not good, I can find another imperial doctor to treat the Queen Mother."
When Dr. Lai heard this, he was so frightened that he knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, the Queen Mother's illness seems to be caused by evil spirits. Perhaps the root cause of the Queen Mother's illness can be solved by asking a mage to come to the palace to do some magic."
He was sweating coldly.
If other imperial doctors were to be found to treat the Queen Mother, wouldn't they allow other imperial doctors to discover that there was a cause for the Queen Mother's illness?
From the corner of his eye, he looked at Concubine Wu not far away, hoping to get some hints from Concubine Wu.
Qin Zhao was standing not far from Dr. Lai, so he naturally saw this little move by Dr. Lai. This showed that their prediction was correct, and it was indeed Concubine Wu who was behind the scenes.
"His medical skills are trustworthy to the Ai family. There is no need for the emperor to go to war." The Queen Mother rescued Dr. Lai in time and let him get up.
Concubine Wu's heart was hanging in the air, but when she saw this, she struck the iron while it was hot: "I would rather believe what Dr. Lai said than what he said. It would be better to find Master Xingyun, a Taoist monk, to come into the palace to do magic for the Queen Mother to drive away evil spirits. In this way, the Queen Mother
Diseases can be cured without medicine."
Qin Zhao had some thoughts in his heart after hearing this.
So, Concubine Wu went to great lengths to attack the Queen Mother just to invite a mage into the palace to drive away evil spirits. And this evil spirit must have a source, right?
She is the person that Concubine Wu hates the most, so will Concubine Wu treat her as an evil spirit and get rid of her?
The more Qin Zhao thought about it, the more likely he felt that it was her. The person Wu Guifei wanted to deal with was her. This was not enough. She actually wanted to use the Queen Mother's hand to get rid of her.
What a tactic to kill someone with a borrowed knife!
Qin Zhao really wanted to rush up to Concubine Wu and slobber on her face. Concubine Wu was not only poisonous, but also downright evil!
The Queen Mother also wanted to know what step Concubine Wu would take in the end, so she took advantage of the situation and said: "That's all, just listen to Concubine Wu and let Master Xingyun enter the palace to practice."
The Queen Mother spoke up, and the Emperor had no objections and thought this was a good idea.
Seeing that the plan was completed, Concubine Wu didn't want to hide the smile on her face. She said kindly to the Queen Mother: "The Queen Mother is blessed with great fortune, and she will definitely be able to live in peace and good health."
"You are always good at saying nice things. As old as the Ai family, they can live on day after day..."
"Mother must never say such unfavorable words in the future." The emperor was unhappy when he heard this.
In this way, it was decided to invite Master Xingyun into the palace to perform rituals.
After the emperor left Cihe Palace, Concubine Wu immediately chased after him.
Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce were still staying in Cihe Palace. After the irrelevant people had left, Qin Zhao expressed his suspicion: "The Queen Mother thought she was dragged down by my concubine. Just now, I suddenly figured out that the concubine wanted to get rid of it."
The evil spirit is most likely my fault, and it is my fault."
Only by dealing with her, Concubine Wu would not hesitate to take such a big risk with the help of the Queen Mother.
"It's the imperial concubine who has evil intentions. You don't need to blame yourself. The Ai family wants to see what tricks the imperial concubine can play." The Queen Mother's face darkened.
"The Imperial Grandmother should take the medicine first. Since it is a foregone conclusion that Master Xingyun will be invited to the palace, the most important thing right now is to take good care of the Imperial Grandmother's body." Xiao Ce said, and asked Baoping to come forward to diagnose the Queen Mother's pulse.
After that, Xiao Ce and Qin Zhao left Cihe Palace.
Xiao Ce saw that Qin Zhao was silent along the way and knew that she felt guilty for causing the imperial grandmother to suffer.
After returning to Wangyue Residence, Xiao Ce took Qin Zhao and sat down: "The imperial grandmother's body is not seriously injured, and Concubine Wu did not dare to do anything serious, but she has not had a good rest in the past few days. When Master Xingyun enters the palace, this matter will
It will be over, you don’t need to worry.”
Qin Zhao felt helpless: "But the emperor protects Concubine Wu. Even if he knew that Concubine Wu had attacked the Queen Mother, the emperor would probably handle her lightly."
Only then did Xiao Ce realize what Qin Zhao was worried about.
Concubine Wu did many evil things and indeed committed many things, but she had never been caught by Qin Zhao again and again like now.
The last time he witnessed Wu Guifei's murder, the witnesses and material evidence were conclusive, but his father only sent Wu Guifei into the cold palace, kept her title of imperial concubine, and returned to the harem in such a short period of time.
This time, even if Concubine Wu takes action again, and the evidence is conclusive, her father's side...
"This time it's about the Imperial Grandmother. The Imperial Grandmother will not let Concubine Wu go easily, and my father will not allow Concubine Wu to hurt the Imperial Grandmother." Xiao Ce felt that this time was different.
"I hope so." Qin Zhao did not pour cold water on him.
But she believed that the reason why Concubine Wu could remain prosperous was because she conquered the emperor's heart. If a woman could capture a man's heart, that would be her invincible magic weapon.
The next morning, Qin Zhao heard the news that Concubine Wu was sleeping with her. Moreover, this time Emperor Long Yan was very happy and gave Concubine Wu many rewards. Everyone said that Concubine Wu was more favored than before.
And this day was also the day when Master Xingyun came to the palace to perform rituals.
When Qin Zhao heard the news that Concubine Wu was sleeping with her, she was not surprised at all. She had known for a long time that Concubine Wu was very capable. Earlier when Concubine Wu was out of the cold palace, the emperor was still unwilling to see her, but last night she was suddenly able to serve her.
She thought she had something to do with the Queen Mother.
It must have been Concubine Wu who claimed the credit as the Queen Mother, so the emperor turned the tables and succeeded in sleeping with her. So when the emperor knew that Concubine Wu had masterminded the Queen Mother's illness, would Long Yan be furious?
She suddenly looked forward to seeing Concubine Wu in a cocoon.
"It's strange. Liangdi was happy when she found out that Concubine Wu was sleeping with her. What's the explanation?" Baoyu Zhanger was confused and looked at Baozhu, hoping that Baozhu would clear up her doubts.
Bao Zhu couldn't figure out the reason this time, "I don't know what Liang Di is thinking either."
Baoyu was happy now: "It turns out that even though you are so smart, there are times when you can't figure it out."
Bao Zhu glared at her and didn't bother to talk to her.
After washing, Qin Zhao went to Cihe Palace to watch the excitement.
She is the person Wu Guifei wants to deal with, and she can be called the protagonist. Without her as the protagonist, Wu Guifei will not be able to perform well.
She took the initiative to go to Cihe Palace, so as to prevent Dong Palace from being dragged down by her. Otherwise, Master Xingyun said that Dong Palace was evil, and the reputation of Dong Palace and Xiao Ce would be ruined.
