Chapter 684 Thorough Investigation
Qin Zhao told Baozhu about this, and Baozhu thought for a moment before replying: "Girl, maybe you can delay a little longer, maybe you can really catch a big fish."
As the girl said, it was not easy to get such a wedge machine, but failed to catch a big fish, thus wasting this good opportunity.
"I'm afraid that if time goes by, the news that I'm pregnant will spread not only in the harem, but also in the public. If they find out that I'm not pregnant, won't the emperor be in trouble?" Qin Zhao expressed his worries.
Baozhu knew that Qin Zhao's worries were justified.
If the girl was really pregnant, she would not have these scruples. But now the girl is just pretending to be pregnant and lacks confidence, so she is hesitant about looking forward and backward.
"That's all, let's take a chance to show that I'm not pregnant and clarify this misunderstanding." Qin Zhao quickly made a decision.
After all, it was a major matter related to the emperor's heir, and this kind of thing should not be joked about. This time it was not all without gain, she knew that Wu Xirou was not that calm.
"How is the girl planning to clarify?" Bao Zhu asked curiously.
"Isn't this simple?" Qin Zhao felt that this was not a problem at all.
Qin Zhao has always been an activist.
On the second day, everyone heard the news that Qin Zhao was sleeping!
At first, no one thought there was anything wrong with this matter. Later, someone discovered something was wrong and immediately went to Cihe Palace to report the matter to Empress Dowager Guo.
Empress Dowager Guo was shocked when she found out that she immediately called Xiao Ce to Cihe Palace and asked Qin Zhao why he slept with him last night since he was pregnant.
Xiao Ce responded calmly, "Do I still need to ask my mother what she means when I order you to sleep?"
Queen Mother Guo lowered her face and asked, "Isn't Qin Zhao happy?"
"I thought this was just a rumor, but I didn't expect my mother to take it seriously. The person who spread the rumor behind the scenes didn't know what their intentions were. Since my mother is in charge of the harem, I might as well find out who is spreading the rumors behind my back!" Xiao Ce said in a high-sounding tone.
Empress Dowager Guo recalled Qin Zhao's ambiguous attitude before, and suddenly became angry: "The Ai family thought that Qin Zhao deliberately spread the news that she was pregnant. How can such a female emperor continue to manipulate her without any bottom line?"
"Since the Queen Mother has such suspicions, it is better for the Queen Mother to find out who is spreading the rumors behind the scenes. The Queen Mother will punish her severely at that time, and I will not interfere in this matter." After Xiao Ce finished speaking, he left first on the grounds that he was busy with political affairs.
Cihe Palace.
Queen Mother Guo was very angry.
Although she didn't like Qin Zhao, when she learned that Qin Zhao was pregnant, she had already planned that when Qin Zhao gave birth to the child, she would take the child to Cihe Palace and raise it personally.
In this way, it doesn't matter whether Qin Zhao has a child or not, it is all under her control, so even if the child is born, it has nothing to do with Qin Zhao.
She thought it was just such a simple thing, but it turned out to be her plan in vain. How could she not be angry?
"Don't be upset, Your Majesty. Previously, Your Majesty was still worried that Miss Qin would be pregnant with the emperor's heir, and she would run rampant in the harem. Now that the problem has been solved, isn't that good?" Nianyun knew that Queen Mother Guo was angry, so she offered her a cup of reassuring tea.
"The Ai family suspects that the emperor is condoning the Qin family's mischief. Otherwise, why hasn't the emperor clarified the matter that has been circulating in the harem for several days?" Queen Mother Guo took a sip of tea, still feeling a kind of anger in her heart.
"If this is the case, if the empress goes to trouble Miss Qin, the emperor will be displeased. Anyway, Miss Qin is staying in the harem with no status and no status, and she cannot conceive an heir, so it is not a threat at all. With the late emperor's edict,
, what can Miss Qin accomplish?" Nianyun tried his best to comfort her.
Her words were very helpful to the ears of Queen Mother Guo.
In the final analysis, it is a good thing that Qin Zhao is not pregnant. In the future, no matter how great Qin Zhao is, can he still make trouble?
Maybe Qin Zhao wanted to see her reaction this time, or maybe he was teasing her to anger her and hurt the mother-son relationship between her and Xiao Ce.
At this time, she had to stay calm even more.
If she could tolerate Mrs. Wu, how could she tolerate the Qin family in this year?
After thinking about it, Queen Mother Guo felt relieved and decided to investigate the matter thoroughly to find out who was spreading the rumors behind the scenes. If Qin Zhao designed this matter himself, there would be something good to watch.
Empress Dowager Guo was now in a good mood after she figured it out. Wu Xirou in Zhongcui Palace also figured out the article and finally felt relieved.
Her idea was that if someone dealt with Qin Zhao, it would save her trouble. But if Qin Zhao didn't get pregnant, it would be a great joy.
Later Liuli found out the news, and after Queen Mother Guo thoroughly investigated who was spreading the news that Qin Zhao was pregnant, she became less calm.
"The Queen Mother is really investigating this matter thoroughly?!" Wu Xirou's face changed slightly.
Liuli looked anxious: "Exactly, and the Queen Mother has said that if it is found out who is spreading this rumor behind her back, she will be severely punished! With Qin Meiren's temperament, knowing that the Queen Mother is investigating this matter, she is not allowed to take the initiative to tell the Queen Mother
If the Empress mentions this matter, she will definitely confess that she received the news from Empress Xiu Rong. I am afraid that the Queen Mother will pursue the case and Empress Xiu Rong will be punished..."
"You are wrong. There is no need to be afraid of the Queen Mother. On the contrary, it is difficult to explain to Sister Qin. Sister Qin is so thoughtful. If she knew that I was the one who passed this news to Qin Shuang, Sister Qin would definitely suspect me of bad intentions."
Wu Xirou interrupted Liuli's talk and felt that this was the crux of the problem.
If Queen Mother Guo is really allowed to investigate, it will be detrimental to her.
Without hesitating for too long, Wu Xirou decided to go to Cihe Palace to clarify the matter with the Queen Mother.
As long as Qin Zhao doesn't know that she is scheming behind her back, it won't be a big deal if she is punished by Queen Mother Guo.
In Cihe Palace, Queen Mother Guo quietly listened to Wu Xirou's self-narration, her expression unchanged.
Wu Xirou didn't panic when she saw this, and added: "I am ignorant, so I told a third party when I didn't have something definite. It's just because Qin Meiren and I had a relationship when they were young, and Qin Meiren is sister Qin's sister, I
It was my too much talk that caused the trouble this time."
As she spoke, she knelt down in front of Queen Mother Guo: "This concubine's crime is unforgivable, and I ask the Queen Mother to punish her severely!"
Queen Mother Guo felt that Wu Xirou was a smart person. Knowing that she was investigating the matter, Wu Xirou took the initiative to admit her mistake and was willing to accept punishment.
Only those who know the trade-offs can stay in the harem for a long time.
"I'm not afraid of those around me. I'm just afraid that the emperor will be upset if he knows this. You can punish me in any way you want. As long as you don't let the emperor know that it's me who's talking nonsense, I'll be satisfied." Wu Xirou said.
Standing there, I was about to cry.
Queen Mother Guo's eyes flashed slightly.
Wu Xirou's words made sense. She really couldn't let Xiao Ce know about this. She also hoped that Wu Xirou could one day surpass Qin Zhao or replace Qin Zhao and become Xiao Ce's favorite existence.
Only Wu Xirou is left in this harem who has the ability to fight Qin Zhao. This chess piece cannot be discarded easily.
