Concubine Wu looked at Qin Zhao with cold eyes and said word by word: "Qin Zhao, don't think that if you bribe Zhixia and pour dirty water on the Ai family, the Ai family will be afraid of you!"
After she finished speaking, she walked away without looking back.
So what if Zhixia confesses? She could have announced to the entire harem that it was Qin Zhao who had joined forces with Zhixia to throw dirty water on her. As long as she didn't admit it, Qin Zhao would have nothing to do with her.
She will never be easily defeated by Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao looked at Concubine Wu's hurried back, his eyes flashed slightly, but he did not step forward to stop her.
If something like this happens to Princess Wu, I wonder what kind of reaction Wu Xirou will have?
Wu Xirou has been too low-key recently and seems to be indifferent to the world, but she still has to find a way to find out what Wu Xirou is really thinking, and this time is a good opportunity.
That day, Concubine Wu left Jinyang Palace smoothly and was a little surprised to see no one following her.
Qin Zhao couldn't let her go easily. Could it be that there was another sinister way to deal with her?
Although she is a concubine, Xiao Ce is in charge now, and Xiao Ce obeys Qin Zhao in everything. I am afraid that it will be difficult for her to escape unscathed this time. After all, this is a crime of murdering the emperor's heir.
After returning to Changkang Palace, Concubine Wu's mood calmed down. She looked at Aunt Zhong and asked, "What do you think of this?"
"Concubine Qin has Zhixia in her hands, and Zhixia is clinging to the concubine. I'm afraid this time..."
Grandma Zhong, who had been silent all the way, opened her mouth, feeling particularly heavy.
"That's obviously not the case. It was Zhixia who framed the Ai family. What are the Ai families afraid of that cheap servant? Qin Zhao has no other evidence except Zhixia's false confession." Concubine Wu didn't take it seriously.
Aunt Zhong shook her head and sighed: "Ms. Concubine, this matter is not that simple. It is also true that Zhi Xia is the secretariat of Changkang Palace. Concubine Qin has a high position and has poisonous gadgets in her hands. The most important thing is that we
It is the emperor’s heir who is being murdered.”
All these are crimes that cost human life.
If the emperor pursues the case, not only the concubine will suffer, but even the Wu family will not be spared.
The Dowager Empress has stayed in the harem for such a long time, how could she still be taking chances?
Their situation is over. This is a fact. Even if they don't want to admit it, it can't change the outcome of the concubine's inability to escape unscathed.
In the final analysis, they were too anxious and should not have rushed to take action, and Qin Zhao discovered the clues. Otherwise, the Dowager Empress could still spend her remaining years peacefully in the harem.
Perhaps the only thing they shouldn't do is provoke Qin Zhao.
In Changkang Palace, the masters and servants of Concubine Wu were frowning, because they all knew that Changkang Palace was targeted by Qin Zhao. As long as Qin Zhao was willing, Concubine Wu's crime of murdering the emperor's heir was likely to be established. This is a terrible fact.
Concubine Wu sat in front of the mirror, looking at herself who still looked young and beautiful, and couldn't help feeling sad.
After Xiao Ce ascended the throne, even though she lived in seclusion in Changkang Palace, she took good care of herself. Even if she was a woman who wanted to please her own appearance, she was happy to see her beautiful self in the mirror every day.
But now, her beauty is still the same, but her fate is unpredictable. She doesn't even know if she will have a tomorrow.
Although she returned to Changkang Palace safely, Qin Zhao will not let her go easily due to his vicious temper...
Liuli was also inquiring about the news about Yangxin Palace, but this time it didn't take much effort. She spent some money to get first-hand information, and immediately returned to Zhongcui Palace to report the situation.
"Zhixia confessed to the Concubine. It turned out that on the day the Emperor and the Concubine left the palace during the Lantern Festival, the Concubine wanted to attack outside the palace. The Concubine had a lot of poisoned gadgets in her hands..."
Liuli recounted what she knew in detail.
After Wu Xirou listened with a dull expression, "It seems to be true. Originally, when Aunt Taifei was in Changkang Palace, Sister Qin never targeted Aunt Taifei. But this time, Aunt Taifei wanted to harm Xiao Atom, so she
It completely angered Sister Qin."
It's just that the concubine's aunt's plan on the Lantern Festival could not leave any clues. No matter how powerful Qin Zhao is, there is no conclusive evidence.
Therefore, Qin Zhao only suspected the concubine's aunt, so he moved into the Yangxin Hall and found out the chess pieces that the concubine's aunt had placed in the Yangxin Hall.
And Zhixia is the work of the concubine's aunt.
People like Qin Zhao are real masters. Even if there is no evidence, they can eventually produce some evidence to convince Auntie Toffee of losing.
"Your Majesty, please make up your mind as soon as possible. Your Majesty, the Imperial Concubine...can't stay..." Liuli mustered up the courage to say this.
Wu Xirou's eyes suddenly became sharp and she looked at Liuli coldly.
Liuli knelt on the ground: "Although the Imperial Concubine did not stop the Imperial Concubine, she will not let the Imperial Concubine go easily. What I fear most is that the Wu family will be implicated. Even if the Imperial Concubine does not consider herself, she still has to worry about being still in Shazhou.
Just as she was thinking about General Guangwei, who was working hard for Da Qi, the empress also had to think about the entire Wu family. The Wu family was defeated, and the empress's backer was gone. The concubine was plotting to kill the emperor's heir, and before the emperor could convict the concubine,
, we only, only..."
She lowered her head, frustrated.
She shouldn't have such treacherous thoughts, but at the moment, she can only abandon her car to protect the handsome man. Only in this way can the Wu family not be harmed to its foundation, and only in this way can the virtuous concubine stay safe and sound in the harem.
Therefore, the only choice was to sacrifice Mrs. Wu. Long before Mrs. Wu took action, she should have thought of the heavy price she would pay if she failed.
"Your Majesty, I think Liuli's words are right. Your Majesty needs to make a decision as soon as possible." Fangruo also knelt down in front of Wu Xirou.
Wu Xirou waved her hand weakly: "Please step aside first and let me think about it again."
Liuli climbed up to Wu Xirou and said: "There is not much time. The empress needs to make a decision as soon as possible. If we wait for the emperor to issue an order after another trial, it will be too late..."
Wu Xirou slapped the case and stood up: "Shut up!"
Liuli and Fangruo could only keep silent and watched Wu Xirou walk away, but there was nothing they could do.
After Wu Xirou rushed out of the room, a cold wind hit her face.
Her thoughts suddenly cleared, and she closed her eyes in pain.
Reason told her that Liuli and Fangruo were right, but emotion told her that Aunt Toffee had been working for the Wu family all her life, and what she did was against the laws of nature.
She didn't need to think about it for too long before she made her decision.
Just as Liuli said, she didn't have much time and she had to get there before Xiao Ce. She couldn't take any chances.
It was a pity that the Wu family lost a Concubine Wu, but since Concubine Wu failed, she had to pay the price and she had to make a decision.
This is not for the Wu family, nor for her brother, but for herself.
She didn't want to never see Xiao Ce again because of Concubine Wu. If she couldn't see Xiao Ce again in this life, her life would be meaningless.
It's night, Yangxin Hall.
Qin Zhao was waiting for news until Xiao Linzi told her that Wu Xirou went to Changkang Palace...
