Chapter 685 Serious Consequences
"There is no rule without rules. If you do something wrong, you will naturally be punished. The Aijia will punish you..." Queen Mother Guo deliberately pretended to be silent for a while, and when she saw Wu Xirou looking at her nervously, she felt a sense of superiority.
She likes the feeling of controlling other people's destiny.
When it was almost done, Queen Mother Guo continued: "I will punish you to copy Buddhist scriptures in Cihe Palace for three days."
Wu Xirou breathed a sigh of relief and thanked her again and again.
She also knew in her heart that the reason why Queen Mother Guo let her go was not because Queen Mother Guo was soft-hearted, but because she still had some value in Queen Mother Guo's eyes.
Before coming to Cihe Palace, she also guessed that this would be the result, so she didn't hide anything from Queen Mother Guo. The result proved that her bet was right.
Little did she know at this moment that Qin Zhao was not far outside Cihe Palace and clearly heard her conversation with Queen Mother Guo.
When Qin Zhao learned that Queen Mother Guo was conducting a thorough investigation into who was spreading the news that she was pregnant, he wanted to know how Wu Xirou would respond, so he asked Baoyu to keep an eye on Wu Xirou's movements.
After learning that Wu Xirou had come to Cihe Palace, she rushed over immediately and wanted to know what Queen Mother Guo said to Wu Xirou.
Judging from what she heard, it was within her expectations.
Wu Xirou was worried that her image in Xiao Ce's heart would be ruined, and she wanted to continue being a so-called good sister with her, so she surrendered to Queen Mother Guo.
Queen Mother Guo felt that Wu Xirou was a good pawn to deal with her, so she naturally treated Wu Xirou lightly.
It only took a moment for Qin Zhao to figure out the twists and turns.
Queen Mother Guo and Wu Xirou probably thought she was a fool and didn't know what their intentions were. In this case, she could just continue to be so-called good sisters with Wu Xirou as Wu Xirou wished.
After that, Wu Xirou stayed in Cihe Palace to copy Buddhist scriptures in the name of serving Empress Dowager Guo. It took three full days before she returned to Zhongcui Palace.
She had just joined Zhongcui Palace when Baozhu suddenly came to Zhongcui Palace and said that Qin Zhao wanted to see her.
Seeing that Baozhu's expression was too serious, she didn't know what happened, so she asked, "Sister, is there something wrong?"
"Empress Xiu Rong will know what's going on when she meets the girl." Bao Zhu replied falsely.
When Liuli saw Baozhu's appearance, she thought of Qin Zhao's face. She really didn't like Baozhu, just like she didn't like Qin Zhao.
Baozhu was a slave like her, but he seemed to be superior to others. She especially couldn't forget the scene when Baozhu ridiculed her in Jinyang Palace last time.
"Empress Xiurong has just returned from Cihe Palace and needs to rest for a while before heading to Jinyang Palace." Liuli answered before Wu Xirou could.
Baozhu glanced at Liuli lightly: "Can you now make the decision for Xiu Rong Empress?!"
After she finished speaking, she looked at Wu Xirou.
Under Baozhu's gaze, Wu Xirou opened her lips calmly: "I'm a little tired today. If there's nothing important for my sister, I'll go to Jinyang Palace after I feel more energetic."
"The girl said that if Empress Xiu Rong doesn't go now, she won't have to see the girl in the future. I'll leave." After Baozhu finished speaking, he walked away without looking back.
Wu Xirou frowned as she looked at Baozhu's back.
Upon seeing this, Liuli said: "Baozhu is just a bluff. There is no need for Empress Xiu Rong to take it seriously."
Wu Xirou remembered that Baozhu's expression was a bit serious when he first came over. Baozhu had never shown such emotions before. Could it be that Qin Zhao really wanted to see her for something important?
"That's all, I'd better go to Jinyang Palace to feel at ease." Wu Xirou quickly changed her mind.
Liuli hurriedly stopped in front of Wu Xirou and said: "Empress Xiu Rong can't be too weak in front of Miss Qin, otherwise Miss Qin will only get worse and worse in the future. Now even Bao Zhu looks down on Empress Xiu Rong, and this time Empress Xiu Rong shows weakness again,
Jinyang Palace will look down upon our Zhongcui Palace even more!"
She really didn't understand why her master always wanted to have a relationship with Jinyang Palace. Could this make the emperor more interested in Empress Xiu Rong?
Facts have proved that regardless of the relationship between Empress Xiurong and Qin Zhao, the emperor never ordered Empress Xiurong to attend his bed. Instead of spending time on Qin Zhao, it would be more practical to spend more time on the emperor.
"The Emperor values Sister Qin very much. If I turn against Sister Qin, the Emperor will probably be displeased with me. I have been planning for a long time. If I turn against Sister Qin at this juncture, do you think the Emperor will still trust me?" Wu Xirou said sadly.
Yixiao: "Do you think I feel good?"
Liuli was speechless for a moment, and after a while she finally said: "Your Majesty is a wise king, and he will not have any prejudice against Empress Xiu Rong just because he has a bad relationship with Miss Qin."
"You are so wrong. The reason why the Emperor trusts me more is because I am currently harmless. Between Sister Qin and me, who do you think the Emperor trusts more? By then, as long as Sister Qin says something bad about me in front of the Emperor,
My position in the emperor's heart will plummet. Have you ever thought about the serious consequences?" Wu Xirou opened her lips coldly.
Did she want to bow to another woman with no status? If she had no other choice, why would she even look at Qin Zhao's face?
She can't afford to lose now, so she has to be careful and not make any mistakes.
Liuli opened her mouth: "I did something wrong again."
It would be useless to argue at this time, but it would make the situation of Xiu Rong Empress even more embarrassing.
"I know you are doing it for my own good, but at present, I am not Sister Qin's opponent. Let's go and visit Jinyang Palace." Wu Xirou cheered up.
Recalling Baozhu's serious expression before, she always felt that something was not right about the atmosphere in Jinyang Palace. She was afraid that something happened that she didn't know about.
When Wu Xirou went to Jinyang Palace, she did not see Qin Zhao directly. Instead, Baozhu came out and blocked her way: "The girl is reading, Xiu Rong, please wait a moment."
Wu Xirou had no choice but to stop. When Liuli saw this scene, she couldn't help clenching her fists.
If she had not been able to talk to Jinyang Palace now, she would have really wanted to go to Qin Zhao. How could she scold Qin Zhao? How dare she show off in front of Empress Xiu Rong?
I don’t know if Bao Zhu noticed her change in mood, but Bao Zhu suddenly looked over with cold eyes.
She suppressed the humiliation in her heart and lowered her head.
Wu Xirou was afraid that Liuli would lose her temper and cause trouble for her.
She waited anxiously outside the main hall. After about half an hour, she couldn't stand any longer and asked, "Baozhu, can you go in and ask Sister Qin when she can see me?"
"That's not true. When a girl is reading a book, she concentrates on it and usually doesn't do it too quickly. Since Baoyu didn't come out to summon her, it means that the girl hasn't finished reading the book yet. Empress Xiu Rong, just wait." Baozhu replied softly.
Wu Xirou's eyes flashed slightly, and she asked again: "Sister Qin, why did you come to me today?"
Bao Zhu looked intently: "I can't guess what the girl is thinking."
"So, is Sister Qin in a good mood today?" Wu Xirou asked again.
