Chapter 234 Things have changed since he came out again
When Baozhu saw Qin Zhao coming out of Yangxin Hall, he hurriedly stepped forward to help him: "Is Liangdi okay?"
Qin Zhao nodded: "Don't worry, I'm fine."
Baozhu saw that Qin Zhao's walking movements were a little stiff, and knew that Qin Zhao was not as good as he looked.
Seeing Bao Zhu staring at her feet, she whispered: "Kneel down in the Yangxin Hall for a while, and don't say anything when you go back, lest that girl Bao Yu won't stop talking about it. I'll walk a few steps, and I'll be fine once I move around.
Already."
Bao Zhu felt sorry for Qin Zhao and her eyes were red: "Liang Di has suffered."
"This is not called suffering. The emperor had murderous intentions against me just now. Fortunately, I passed the blame to Wu Liangyuan." Qin Zhao said this in a low voice and recounted the situation in the palace just now.
It can be considered a change of topic.
After hearing this, even Baozhu secretly thought it was very dangerous.
When Qin Zhao returned to the East Palace, people were coming and going in the East Palace as usual. Some palace servants and chamberlains saw Qin Zhao and saluted her one after another. Qin Zhao was no different from before.
Only Qin Zhao knew that she had a narrow escape at the gate of hell.
When Baoping heard that Qin Zhao was back, he hurriedly returned to Wangyue Residence and said, "This slave is not doing things well. Please punish Liangdi."
She went to the main hall and met His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Wu Liangyuan was also there at the time. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince heard that Qin Liangdi was being taken away by the nuns of the Yangxin Hall, but did not say anything and seemed to have no intention of going to the Yangxin Hall to save Liangdi.
She waited for about a quarter of an hour, but His Highness still did not go to the Yangxin Hall, and she could not tell any clues from His Highness's expression.
She was extremely disappointed at that time, but she could not give up easily. After that, she begged His Highness the Crown Prince several times, but His Highness turned a deaf ear until she heard that Liangdi had returned to Wangyue Residence safely.
"Fortunately, His Highness did not go to the Yangxin Hall to look for me, otherwise the Emperor would really have murderous intent on me." Seeing Baoping looking like he was about to cry, Qin Zhao explained the stakes involved.
Only then did Baoping understand the difficulty of His Royal Highness.
If Your Highness really goes to the Yangxin Hall, it may only make Liang Di's situation more difficult. If you don't go, it will actually be good for Liang Di.
"His Highness will probably see very little of me in recent days. I will stay at Wangyue Residence peacefully and rarely go out. As for the rumors in the community, they will disappear soon, so you don't need to worry." Qin Zhao said quietly.
.
The emperor will not let the rumors in the market smear the royal family. Next, the emperor's attention will be focused on Wu Xiyu, right? As long as Xiao Ce "favors" Wu Xiyu more, the person the emperor sees will always be Wu Xiyu, not her.
As Qin Zhao expected, Xiao Ce did not come to Wangyueju or visit her that day. Instead, Wu Xiyu stayed in the main hall the next night, once again becoming the focus of everyone's attention in the East Palace.
Wang Zhaoxun, who was behind the plan, knew something was wrong when he saw this scene.
When Qin Zhao was taken away by the nuns of Yangxin Palace, she thought that the emperor would not be able to tolerate Qin Zhao who was not a woman. Unexpectedly, Qin Zhao returned to Wangyue Residence safely, and His Highness the Crown Prince also ignored Qin Zhao.
Originally, she wanted to get rid of Qin Zhao completely through this incident, but now it seems that things have backfired, the emperor actually let Qin Zhao go, and at this critical moment, the fact that Wu Xiyu stayed in the host palace spread a lot in the palace.
And the rumors about Qin Zhao and Zhao Yu living together in Changzhou disappeared overnight.
People's memories are very short and they can only remember recent events. The fact that Wu Xiyu was favored by His Royal Highness obviously attracted everyone's attention.
The emperor did not believe the one-sided remarks about Qin Zhao. He sent people to secretly investigate the past of Zhao Yu and Wu Xiyu. After investigation, he found out that Zhao Yu did have deep feelings for Wu Xiyu, Wu Xiyu also had deep feelings for Zhao Yu, and Qin
Zhao, the first wife, was left out by Zhao Yu for two years because of Wu Xiyu from the first day she married into the Zhao family.
Furthermore, I heard that the prince also fell in love with Wu Xiyu at first sight. I learned this from the servants of the Zhao family.
Recently, the prince has been very kind to Wu Xiyu, which makes the emperor even more troubled.
First of all, it was his oral order that sent Wu Xiyu to the East Palace. He couldn't regret it now and move Wu Xiyu away from the East Palace.
After all, Wu Xiyu is also from the East Palace. Even if he is the emperor, if he interferes in the affairs of the East Palace, it will only make the prince unhappy.
The emperor only regretted that he had been cheated on by Concubine Wu that day and made such a big mistake. Therefore, he was even more dissatisfied with Concubine Wu and did not want to lift Concubine Wu's ban for the time being.
His dissatisfaction with the Wu family has also reached unprecedented heights.
At this moment, the results of Wu Tongpan's investigation came out. Wu Tongpan had indeed misappropriated the disaster relief funds. The personal and material evidence was conclusive and the matter could not be denied. In addition, the emperor's dissatisfaction with the Wu family was growing day by day. The emperor finally made a decision.
Punish Wu Tong.
Not only did he take off Wu Tongpan's reputation, he also exiled Wu Tongpan to a barren land. Wu Tongpan's entire family was also exiled.
In addition to Wu Tongpan's family, other members of the Wu family were also implicated to some extent, and all officials were demoted.
It was already early August after Wu Tongpan's case ended.
When everything was settled, the imprisoned Concubine Wu showed the emperor a token through some unknown means. After the emperor saw it, he remembered the sweet past with Concubine Wu in the past many years, and finally relented and released Concubine Wu.
Grounded.
Concubine Wu heard about the Wu family's demotion when she was banned. At that time, she was in the ban, and although she was anxious, she could do nothing to help her. She could only watch the Wu family decline.
The first thing she did when she was released from confinement was to go to Changqiu Palace.
Concubine Shu never thought that Concubine Wu would suddenly come to Changqiu Palace. She was listening to Nianyun talking about A Ce, and it was at this time that Concubine Wu entered the hall without anyone noticing.
Concubine Shu looked into Concubine Wu's obscure eyes. She felt inexplicably chilled, but she could not show weakness.
"Sister Concubine Shu seems to be living a very leisurely life. Unlike me, I have been detained in Jinyang Palace for more than a month, and things will be different when I come out again." Concubine Wu, who came uninvited, took the seat first, and did not think of herself as such.
outsider.
"It's okay." Concubine Shu had always been at odds with Concubine Wu, so she was a little cautious at this moment.
Concubine Wu noticed Concubine Shu's embarrassment and smiled: "Sister, don't be nervous. I came here today to shake hands and make peace with my sister. It was my fault last time. The emperor also punished me and I was grounded."
During this period, I also wanted to understand one thing. Sister Xi is already the crown prince’s wife, we are a family, how can we be at odds with each other? Doesn’t my sister say so?”
Now the Wu family is in decline, but there is still a chance to reverse it. Sister Xi's situation in the East Palace is not bad, and she is being pampered by the prince now. As long as Concubine Shu does not cause trouble, when sister Xi is pregnant with an heir, and when the prince ascends the throne,
In the future, Sister Xi will become the most favored concubine in the harem, so why worry about the Wu family not being able to produce a queen?
