Chapter 965 Undercurrent
"Isn't it natural for her to be taboo on me? I have the emperor's favor, a small atom, and the means. I'm so beautiful, and I can sit alone in Jinyang Palace. Who in this harem doesn't taboo me?"
Qin Zhao's true words made Baozhu speechless for a moment.
Yes, the empress has everything the other concubines in the harem want to have. Apart from the virtuous concubine, there are others who hate the empress.
"The Concubine Xian is not as calm as she appears on the surface. If there is really no ambition and desire, how can there be taboo people and things? As the saying goes, if you want something, you will have desire.
, As long as she can't let go of her feelings for the emperor, she can't truly be free from desires and demands." Qin Zhao murmured to himself, looking at the dark sky in front of him, tightening his cloak: "This harem is still not peaceful."
"Are you worried that Concubine Xian will take action?" Bao Zhu heard this clearly and asked.
Qin Zhao smiled: "How can I know what Concubine Xian is thinking?"
She was talking about Concubine Wu.
The result of today's test proves that Concubine Wu really wants to deal with Empress Dowager Guo. It is probably Princess Yongning who sent the news to Concubine Wu. Concubine Wu should have known that Empress Dowager Guo was the culprit of her inability to conceive.
She didn't want to get involved in the grudges between Concubine Wu and Empress Dowager Guo, but the eldest princess Yongning was restless and often provoked Xiao Ce. If something happened to Empress Dowager Guo, Xiao Ce would not feel comfortable.
As Xiao Ce's woman, should she stand by and watch, or should she remind Xiao Ce to beware of Concubine Wu attacking Empress Dowager Guo?
Speaking of which, Queen Mother Guo has done so many bad things and has so many creditors. It is not unfair at all for these people to collect debts from Queen Mother Guo.
She reminded Xiao Ce last time that letting Queen Mother Guo save her life was the ultimate act of kindness, but it was impossible for her to intervene in every crisis that Queen Mother Guo had.
Thinking of this, she no longer struggled. She would not interfere with this matter anymore. From now on, whether Queen Mother Guo lives or dies has nothing to do with her.
Qin Zhao felt calm, but Concubine Wu in Changkang Palace was restless.
She didn't know whether to continue to deal with Queen Mother Guo. If Qin Zhao came here today to inquire about the situation, he must have received the news. If Qin Zhao informed Queen Mother Guo, wouldn't Queen Mother Guo catch her as soon as she made a move?
In Changkang Palace, Concubine Wu was torn about whether to take action.
Princess Yongning, who was in Yongningzhai, was also shocked when she heard that Qin Zhao had gone to Changkang Palace.
"Are you sure Qin Zhao went to Changkang Palace?!" She asked again.
Ju Yun replied in a low voice: "Exactly, the imperial concubine is going to Changkang Palace together with the virtuous concubine."
"Did Qin Zhao know about my plan?" Princess Yongning now has a headache when she mentions Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao refuses to take the hard way, and is pampered by the emperor's brother. Now she is still a noble concubine. If she really wants to find a person in this world who can give her a headache, it must be Qin Zhao.
"This slave has the same suspicion. Would Your Highness want to go to Zhongcui Palace for a walk?" Ju Yun came up with an idea.
Princess Yongning immediately understood: "It's true that I haven't seen Concubine Xian for a long time. It doesn't hurt to go and meet Concubine Xian."
She is an activist, so she left Yongningzhai and went to Zhongcui Palace.
Wu Xirou did not expect that Zhongcui Palace would welcome the eldest princess Yongning. She was puzzled and could not help but secretly look at the eldest princess.
Princess Yongning's appearance cannot be said to be outstanding, and is even a bit ordinary, but her temperament is better than Princess Yongchun's. Looking at the tone of Princess Yongchun's words, you can tell that she is a smart person.
"Why did the eldest princess have time to come to Zhongcui Palace today to walk around?" Wu Xirou asked straightforwardly without talking nonsense.
Princess Yongning smiled and took a sip of tea, moistened her throat and said: "I happened to pass by here. I thought I had never walked into Zhongcui Palace before, so I walked in. Concubine Xian is the lord of the first palace here. I first
Of course the one I want to visit is the Concubine Xian."
Wu Xirou couldn't find anything wrong with what Princess Yongning said, but she absolutely didn't believe the reason for Princess Yongning's nonsense.
Qin Zhao must have other purposes for coming to Zhongcui Palace, she can just wait and see what happens.
At the moment, she calmly waited for Princess Yongning to reveal the mystery herself.
Sure enough, after chatting for a while, Princess Yongning asked her if she had gone out for a walk today.
A seemingly casual question made Wu Xirou wary, but she was someone who could hide things, and she didn't show it on her face: "Sister Qin and I went to Changkang Palace to pay our respects to the Dowager Empress."
Concubine Rong has died, and there is only Concubine Wu left in the entire harem. The concubine she refers to is, of course, Concubine Wu.
Princess Yongning seemed to be aroused and asked: "This is interesting. The imperial concubine and Empress Dowager Wu have been at odds for a long time. How could she suddenly go to Changkang Palace with Concubine Xian to pay her respects to Empress Dowager Wu?"
Wu Xirou's eyes flashed slightly, wondering if this was just a coincidence?
Or is it that the fact that she and Qin Zhao went to Changkang Palace has long been spread in the harem, and Princess Yongning came here just to inquire about this matter?
The question is why Princess Yongning wanted to inquire about this matter?
"The eldest princess seems to be very interested in the princess?" Wu Xirou asked with a smile, her eyes never leaving the face of eldest princess Yongning.
There was nothing wrong with Princess Yongning's expression, "It's not that I'm interested in the Concubine, I'm just curious about what the Concubine said to the Concubine Xian and the Concubine. As far as I know about the Concubine, what does the Concubine do?
They all have other profound meanings, so I am curious."
Wu Xirou lowered her head and took a sip of tea, clearing the strange color in her eyes.
Qin Zhao seems to have no rules when it comes to doing things, but as Princess Yongning said, they often have a certain purpose. Is it possible that there is some reason why Qin Zhao suddenly went to see the concubine's aunt that she doesn't know?
"I'm extremely curious, Concubine Xian, please tell me." Princess Yongning urged.
Wu Xirou looked up at Princess Yongning and smiled lightly, "I didn't say anything special, but I did mention the Queen Mother a few times..."
Princess Yongning was secretly frightened, but her expression did not change: "Why are you mentioning the Queen Mother for no reason?"
Although Princess Yongning hid it well, Wu Xirou could still see Princess Yongning's emotional changes.
"I have to ask Sister Qin." Wu Xirou responded quietly.
If she was still doubtful before, she was now certain that Princess Yongning came for Qin Zhao.
The problem is that when Qin Zhao went to Changkang Palace, why did Princess Yongning rush to trick her? Is there a hidden secret in this that she didn't know about?
She thought about it for a while, but her face remained calm.
"What does Concubine Xian mean by Concubine Xian?" Princess Yongning asked unconsciously when she saw that Wu Xirou only spoke half of her words.
"Speaking of which, I don't know what Sister Qin's intentions are. Maybe she just went to Changkang Palace to pay her respects. There is no special meaning." Wu Xirou said about this, and then said: "Maybe the eldest princess can go to Sister Qin to ask.
ask?"
