Nian Yun hesitated for a moment and then said: "I know that there is a black hand in the harem that wants to deal with the imperial concubine. I have a signed letter here. I got it from Nian Su. Maybe it can help the imperial concubine find that person in the future."
As she spoke, she took out a corner of a carefully folded and well-kept letter and handed it to Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao took it and saw that the signature on it was the four words "Mr. Fengyue" in a free and easy manner.
She was very sure that the person behind this was one of the concubines in the harem, but the signature was actually Mr. Feng Yue. Is the other party showing off his knowledge, or does Mr. Feng Yue have another meaning?
Nianyun carefully observed his words, and she knew from Qin Zhao's expression at this moment that Qin Zhao was interested in the transaction item she proposed this time.
She felt slightly relieved, knowing that this time the deal between herself and Qin Zhao was concluded.
"I thought you had served the Queen Mother for many years and had a deep relationship with her. Why are you in such a hurry to leave Cihe Palace?" Qin Zhao asked casually.
Nianyun lowered his eyes and put away the gloom in his eyes: "This slave cannot be placed under house arrest, just because I still have an unfulfilled wish. But this wish is my business alone, and it is difficult to tell others."
The implication is that Qin Zhao, an outsider, cannot listen.
Qin Zhao didn't bother to ask any more questions. She took another look at the signature on the letter in her hand and said calmly: "This deal between me and you is done. As for whether you can leave Cihe Palace, I am not sure. After all,
You are a popular person in front of the Queen Mother, even if I go to the Emperor to beg you, the Emperor may not agree to let you out."
Nianyun knew that Qin Zhao's concerns were not unreasonable, but she just believed that only Qin Zhao in the entire harem could take her out of Cihe Palace.
If Qin Zhao couldn't do it, then she would have to be trapped in Cihe Palace with Queen Mother Guo.
"If the imperial concubine and the queen can't do it, then it's my life. I'll leave." After Nianyun finished speaking, he was about to leave.
Qin Zhao looked at Nian Yun's back, suddenly raised his lips and asked: "You hate me, don't you?"
When Nianyun heard the words, he turned around and thought for a moment before saying: "Every time I think of Niansu, I will hate the empress, but I also know that the imperial concubine did the right thing, and it was Niansu who made the mistake first. Among all the masters in the harem, the imperial concubine is considered the best.
Those who are kind-hearted are blessed to be able to serve as the attendants of the imperial concubine."
After saying this, she quickly walked away.
Qin Zhao watched Nian Yun go away, and then looked at the four words "Feng Yue Gongzi" in his hand. Suddenly he was not sure whether the deal could be completed. How easy was it for Nian Yun to come out of Cihe Palace?
Her intuition told her that this "Feng Yue Gongzi" was a very important clue, but based on this signature, how could she catch this person from all the concubines?
At the moment, she still has a difficult matter, which is to plead with Xiao Ce to release Nian Yun from Cihe Palace.
If Xiao Ce heard her request, would he think that she was trying to make trouble for Queen Mother Guo and deliberately transferred Nianyun away from Queen Mother Guo?
Qin Zhao gets more and more worried, but since she and Nianyun have reached this deal, they can't go back on their word no matter what.
After two days of rest, Qin Zhao hadn't thought of a good excuse to ask Xiao Ce, so Xiao Ce flipped her name again.
This time she deliberately dressed more old-fashioned and had her hair in a more old-fashioned bun, just to make herself look more dignified and to prevent Xiao Ce from running to bed as soon as he saw her...
After arriving at Yangxin Hall, Qin Zhao immediately saluted Xiao Ce.
As soon as Xiao Ce saw Qin Zhao, he noticed that her dress was different from before. He raised his eyebrows and asked, "My beloved concubine's dress is very unique."
When he heard the word "style", the corners of Qin Zhao's mouth couldn't help but twitch.
She dressed like this on purpose to be called flirtatious? Is Xiao Ce maybe blind?
She was still complaining that Xiao Ce had an eye problem, but Xiao Ce suddenly picked her up. This was clearly..."
"Your Majesty, I have a favor to ask of you." Qin Zhao hurriedly grabbed Xiao Ce's wrist.
Xiao Ce was unbuttoning her clothes, looking very serious, and he didn't know if he heard her words.
"Your Majesty, my concubine wants to read the clouds." Qin Zhao blurted out when he saw that the situation was not right.
Xiao Ce didn't expect that Qin Zhao would mention the disappointing maid at the critical moment. Isn't Nianyun the Queen Mother's personal attendant?
Although the Queen Mother was under house arrest in Cihe Palace, she was in poor health. How could he let Nianyun leave Cihe Palace at this juncture?
For a moment, he lost interest. He looked at Qin Zhao coldly and asked, "Why Nianyun?"
She doesn't look like someone who is adding insult to injury.
Although she did suffer a crime in Cihe Palace last time, he also punished everyone in Cihe Palace, and even his own mother was placed under house arrest. What else did she want from him?
"I feel that Nian Yun is a match for her, she is an old man in the palace, and her ability to do things is not bad, so I want to transfer her to Jinyang Palace as an errand." Qin Zhao avoided Xiao Ce's eyes.
Of course she couldn't tell Xiao Ce that it was because she made a deal with Nian Yun that she proposed to let Nian Yun work as an errand in Jinyang Palace.
"The Queen Mother cannot be without Nianyun to serve her." Xiao Ce saw that Qin Zhao's eyes were not warm at all.
Of course Qin Zhao knew the importance of Nianyun to Queen Mother Guo. Otherwise, Nianyun would not beg her.
"I understand, I understand." Qin Zhao replied softly.
"Since you know this, why do you still make such a request to me?!" Xiao Ce asked.
Qin Zhao couldn't tell the truth, so he made an excuse: "I think I almost died in the hands of the Queen Mother that day, and I also wanted to take away something that the Queen Mother cared about."
Xiao Ce did not expect to hear these words from Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao smiled calmly: "I think I saved the Queen Mother's life at the beginning, but the Queen Mother was not grateful. I almost died in the hands of the Queen Mother that day. The emperor saw it with his own eyes, but he only saved the Queen Mother.
The empress is locked up in Cihe Palace. Apart from freedom of movement, the empress dowager has nothing to lose, and the concubine will also have resentment in her heart..."
"Back off." Xiao Ce didn't want to hear it anymore.
Qin Zhao's words seemed like he had betrayed her.
But what can he do? Is it possible that he can kill the Queen Mother?
Qin Zhao stepped aside and said, "I am not a kind person, and I am not a person who complains about virtue, but I have such a temperament, and I am afraid I will never change it in this life. Your Majesty, please rest early, and I will retire."
Xiao Ce watched Qin Zhao go away, remembering when he rushed to Cihe Palace that day.
At that time, Qin Zhao's face was as pale as a ghost, his eyes were hollow, his lips were bloodshot, and he looked like he was on the verge of collapse.
Qin Zhao always felt strong to him, she was never weak, but at that moment she was like a paper figure, as if she would fall down at any time.
The person who harmed Qin Zhao was his biological mother.
What kind of person the Empress Dowager Guo was, he had witnessed with his own eyes as early as when he was young. You can imagine how vicious a woman who can kill her husband and take advantage of her children can be.
But the blood flowing on his body is the blood of Queen Mother Guo...
