"The news has been spread now. Even if Qin Zhao is blackmailing the Ai family, it means that Qin Zhao has already suspected the Ai family. I'm afraid that what the woman brought back from the Lantern Festival has exposed our plan." Concubine Wu tightened her grip.
Double fist: "If this is the case, the Ai family's journey in the harem will come to an end."
Just because Qin Zhao caught one of the most important chess pieces she arranged in the Yangxin Palace, she never used it easily, but once she did, Qin Zhao caught him.
She shouldn't be careless, let alone underestimate Qin Zhao. This time, she is afraid that she will be doomed...
In the Changkang Palace, the masters and servants of Concubine Wu were frowning and could not think of a way to solve the problem.
Concubine Wu hesitated whether to go to the Yangxin Palace in person, it was better than sitting in Changkang Palace and thinking nonsense.
On the other side, the news spread throughout the harem, and of course, also reached Zhongcui Palace.
When Wu Xirou, who was drinking tea, heard the news, she lost her grip on the tea cup and fell to the ground, shattering it to pieces.
Fangruo hurriedly stepped forward to help Wu Xirou wipe it. Wu Xirou signaled Fangruo to get out of the way. She looked at Liuli and asked, "What did you just say?"
"The entire harem is saying that Zhixia is a chess piece planted by Empress Dowager Wu in the Yangxin Palace. This time Zhixia is even more daring. She actually poisoned the young highness and was caught by the imperial concubine!" Liuli spoke very fast and was so anxious.
no.
Now the problem is big, the entire harem knows about it, that is to say, the emperor also knows about it.
If this is true, Empress Dowager Wu will not only suffer disaster herself, but she will also kill Concubine Xian.
Concubine Ming Mingxian did nothing, but in the end she was implicated by Concubine Wu. How could this happen?
Wu Xirou's face turned pale and she murmured silently: "It's over..."
She is obviously low-key enough and decided to be an invisible person in this harem and live her life in such a mediocre way. Why is Mrs. Wu restless?
"Are you sure that Concubine Wu is colluding with Zhixia?" Fangruo asked anxiously.
"Now it has been spread in the harem that Zhixia is a chess piece placed by Empress Dowager Wu in the Yangxin Palace. The evidence is conclusive. Moreover, Zhixia also poisoned His Highness, and this matter has already made a big fuss..."
Before Liuli finished speaking, she saw Wu Xirou hurried out.
She hurriedly stepped forward and blocked Wu Xirou's path: "My Majesty, please don't worry. It is not appropriate for your Majesty to go to the Yangxin Hall before the matter is clear. If this is true, your visit to the Yangxin Hall will make the emperor suspect that your Majesty is also involved."
Wu Xirou was so confused that she had no idea at this time.
Liuli winked at Fangruo, and the two of them worked together to pull Wu Xirou back.
Seeing Wu Xirou's distraught appearance, Liuli felt heartbroken and at the same time became more determined to protect her master.
"Ask this servant to inquire about the news. If there is any news, come back and report to the empress as soon as possible." Liuli said, and asked Fangruo to take good care of Wu Xirou, especially Wu Xirou should not be allowed to go to the Nourishing Heart Palace at this time.
If it was really Concubine Wu who did this this time, then they would have to find a way to keep Concubine Xian out of the matter.
In Changkang Palace, after Concubine Wu calmed down, she remembered that she was assisting Qin Zhao in managing the harem. Now that such a "rumor" had come out, she could naturally go and find out about it.
Immediately she left Changkang Palace and went to Yangxin Palace.
In the Yangxin Hall, the old god Qin Zhaozheng was waiting for Concubine Wu to come to her door.
She had roughly told Xiao Ce what had happened the moment the news came out of Jinyang Palace, but Xiao Ce just gave her a meaningful look and left without saying a word.
For a moment, she didn't know if Xiao Ce was angry, but her plan couldn't be abandoned halfway now. She must take the opportunity to get rid of Mrs. Wu.
Absolutely wrong, Mrs. Wu dared to harm Xiao Atom. She couldn't tolerate a sword hanging over Xiao Atom's head.
This time, she vowed to make Wu Tai Fei withdraw from the Da Qi harem stage!
When Princess Wu saw Qin Zhao, Qin Zhao was drinking tea and did not see Xiao Yuan.
Seeing Qin Zhao's leisurely and contented appearance, Concubine Wu became wary.
So is this a trap set up by Qin Zhao just to make her jump?
"The Ai family heard that Zhixia poisoned A Yuan, so they came here to have a look. Anyway, the Ai family is also helping the concubine manage the harem. We can't just sit idly by when something like this happens." Concubine Wu said, finding a seat to sit down.
Qin Zhao then looked at Concubine Wu, his eyes scrutinizing, but he said nothing.
After all, Mrs. Wu was a person who had seen the world. Even when Qin Zhao stared at her like this, she still sat firmly in her place.
"Why is your concubine looking at Aijia like this?" Concubine Wu pretended to be confused.
A sarcastic smile appeared on Qin Zhao's lips: "I should know what the concubine has done. The concubine is a step too late. Zhi Xia has already done all the tricks!"
As she spoke, she threw the small folk toys she had brought into the palace at the feet of Concubine Wu.
Although Mrs. Wu was mentally prepared, she was still shocked when she saw these small folk toys.
As they expected, Qin Zhao had already noticed something was wrong, which is why today's incident occurred. Zhi Xia's poisoning of Xiao Yuan was probably a lie. Qin Zhao just needed a reason to connect her with Zhi Xia.
"What is this?" Mrs. Wu pretended to be confused.
As long as there is no evidence, Qin Zhao can't do anything to her.
Qin Zhao smiled, clapped his hands lightly, and Zhixia was escorted inside.
Zhixia was thrown to the ground. She was bruised and tried to get up, but she was unable to do anything.
"Zhixia, the concubine is here, what do you want to say to the concubine?" Qin Zhao opened his lips indifferently.
It was impossible for her to find any evidence outside the palace. Even if she escorted the owners of the lantern riddle stalls into the palace, it would be of no avail, because they would not have the chance to get close to Mrs. Wu.
So what is the best way? That is to make good use of Zhixia's chess piece, give Zhixia a little sweetness, and make Zhixia turn against him.
"The Concubine must save this slave. It was you who said that you wanted to get rid of His Highness, so I risked my life to deliver the news to Changkang Palace, giving the Concubine the opportunity to attack His Highness. You also said that as long as you Your Highness will be poisoned if he touches these gadgets..."
"That's enough, how dare you, a cheap servant, throw dirty water on the Ai family?!" Wu Taifei shouted sharply, interrupting Zhixia's words.
"Everything of your concubine and your slave is true. It was the concubine who instigated this slave to poison your highness. This slave became her pawn as early as six years ago——"
In a rage, Mrs. Wu rushed forward and kicked Zhixia on the body.
Zhixia was already injured, but she was kicked so hard by Mrs. Wu that she fainted from the pain and lost consciousness.
"It's useless to get angry because of shame. It can't change the result of the concubine's murder of the emperor's heir! Many people have heard Xia Xia's confession. Even if the concubine kills Zhixia now, it won't help." Seeing this scene, Qin Zhao was indifferent. Open lips.
