Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. When Concubine Wu returned to the palace, the emperor personally went to the palace gate to greet her. This shows that Concubine Wu was indeed very important to the emperor.
Concubine Wu has been favored for so many years, and she can quickly turn over whenever she catches her in a painful spot. This also makes her more determined that she must get rid of Concubine Wu no matter what.
Here, Qin Zhao was thinking about how to get rid of Concubine Wu. At this time, an imperial chamberlain came over to convey a message, obeying the emperor's oral order, and asked her to go to Jinyang Palace.
Si Bao's face changed when he heard this.
None of them expected that Concubine Wu would be so direct and actually ask the emperor to give instructions. In this way, even if Liangdi was not happy, she would still have to go to Jinyang Palace, otherwise she would be disobeying the order. No one could bear such a crime.
rise.
"I'm going to change my clothes." Qin Zhao didn't change his expression, and then asked the four treasures to follow him.
After entering the dormitory, Qin Zhao paced back and forth in the room.
Concubine Wu had made no secret of her malice towards her and couldn't wait to show her power. When she went to Jinyang Palace, she was sending a sheep into a tiger's mouth, and it would be difficult to get out after going in.
"Why don't you invite His Highness the Crown Prince to accompany Liang Di?" Baozhu said hurriedly.
"The Emperor is there. If His Highness accompanies me to Jinyang Palace, the Emperor will definitely not be happy." Qin Zhao said solemnly.
"How about inviting the Queen Mother?" Baoyu suggested from the side.
Qin Zhao thought for a while and felt it was inappropriate: "Going to find the Queen Mother is a way, but someone must go to Cihe Palace. If the person who went to report the news was taken away by Concubine Wu's people on the way..."
"This doesn't work, that doesn't work, but what should I do? Anyway, I feel that Liang Di cannot go to Jinyang Palace rashly, otherwise she will definitely be bullied by Concubine Wu. The best way is to ask the Queen Mother to support Liang Di. Only the Queen Mother can
She is of higher rank than the emperor, so when the emperor sees the Queen Mother, he must be courteous so as not to embarrass Liangdi." Baozhu has always been calm, but this time he became anxious.
Qin Zhao thought for a moment and then made a decision: "What I can think of, Concubine Wu can also think of. I won't invite the Queen Mother. This time I will ask His Highness the Prince to accompany me!"
She felt that the emperor might not be in Jinyang Palace and might be distracted by Concubine Wu.
Concubine Wu couldn't wait to humiliate her and torture her. How could Concubine Wu do her best in the presence of the emperor?
Perhaps even Concubine Wu thought she would seek support from the Queen Mother, but she did the opposite and went to Jinyang Palace with Xiao Ce.
Even if the emperor is in Jinyang Palace, what does it matter? Could the emperor still embarrass Xiao Ce in front of her?
"Baoyuan, go and invite His Highness the Crown Prince, hurry up!" Qin Zhao said to Baoyuan.
Baoyuan was originally a martial arts practitioner, and she was quick on her feet, so it was right to send her there.
After delaying for about a quarter of an hour, Qin Zhao changed into a set of clothes and came out. She just walked out of Wangyue Residence and saw Xiao Ce coming.
Before Qin Zhao opened his mouth, he heard Xiao Ce say: "Gu Zheng wants to go to Jinyang Palace, where are you going?"
Qin Zhao secretly laughed in his heart and looked surprised: "What a coincidence, I happen to be going to Jinyang Palace, why don't I go with His Highness the Crown Prince?"
The two of them sang and harmonized, and they had a perfect tacit understanding.
In this way, after the two "encountered" by chance, they went to Jinyang Palace together.
When they entered Jinyang Palace, Concubine Wu was talking to the emperor, and the two seemed very close.
Concubine Wu heard the footsteps and looked at Qin Zhao, "Qin Liangdi, what does this mean? The emperor sent you here to ask questions, why did you bring the prince with you?"
"The noble concubine misunderstood Qin Liangdi. I happened to be on a trip to Jinyang Palace, and met Qin Liangdi on the road, so I came to Jinyang Palace with her." The person who answered was Xiao Ce.
Qin Zhao then echoed in a soft voice: "Yes, is there a rule that I cannot travel with His Highness the Crown Prince? How much does the imperial concubine dislike me, so that she would attack me as soon as she sees me?
Charged with unfounded charges?"
She had a beautiful life, a nice voice, and she spoke clearly and logically. One sentence made Concubine Wu's face change with anger.
Although the emperor turned to Concubine Wu, he could not find fault with what Qin Zhao and Xiao Ce said.
"Look, Your Majesty, how much can Qin Liangdi say with her mouth? I can't even pick up the words." Concubine Wu said angrily.
The emperor patted Concubine Wu's hand and said, "Don't you have something to ask Qin Liangdi?"
What else did Qin Zhao not understand when he heard the emperor's words?
As she thought, Concubine Wu sent her to Jinyang Palace in the name of the emperor, clearly intending to attack her. If she came alone and the emperor was distracted by Concubine Wu, she would fall into Concubine Wu's hands.
Here, let Concubine Wu be abused...
She looked at Xiao Ce, who happened to look over. He probably thought of her and gave her a comforting look.
Qin Zhao's heart was settled.
Today she asked Bao Yuan to report to Xiao Ce, and Xiao Ce left other things behind and accompanied her to see Concubine Wu as soon as possible. This is enough to show that Xiao Ce puts her before his government affairs. This is enough.
Probably because Xiao Ce gave her the confidence, she instantly felt that she had nothing to fear even when facing the emperor.
"I wonder if your concubine has anything to say to me, I will definitely tell you everything." Qin Zhao said, neither humble nor arrogant.
Concubine Wu looked at Qin Zhao, her eyes getting colder: "Sister Xi, something happened like this. Is Qin Liangdi behind it?"
When Qin Zhao heard Concubine Wu mentioning this matter, she immediately laughed: "I don't know what the situation is. When I learned that Wu passed away from illness, I was shocked, until I suddenly received Wu's wedding invitation later.
, I only found out that the Wu family is still alive. As for other situations, it would be safer to ask His Highness the Crown Prince."
She said and looked at Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce and her have always had a tacit understanding, and they can understand each other with just one look, and this time is no exception.
As soon as Qin Zhao finished speaking, Xiao Ce spoke eloquently: "It was for the sake of the noble concubine that I spared Wu's life and let her leave the palace. At that time, she had many affairs with Zhao Yu.
She is an eyewitness. Since the noble concubine asked, I would like to ask your Wu family’s tutor, how could you raise such a watery woman?!"
Concubine Wu's face changed slightly when she heard this.
At first, she only knew that Sister Xi died of illness suddenly in the East Palace. Later, she heard that Sister Xi was not dead, but married into the Zhao family. Aunt Zhong also said that it was Qin Zhao who had caused Sister Xi to behave in this way.
Disappeared in the East Palace. Sister Xi would marry into the Zhao family. She thought it was Sister Xi who wanted to take revenge on the prince, but she didn't know there was another story involved.
She was too hasty and couldn't wait to attack Qin Zhao as soon as she returned to the palace, but she never thought that it was Sister Xi who didn't follow the rules of women.
If the prince hadn't spared the blame for such crimes, both the Wu family and the Zhao family would have been implicated, and Sister Xi wouldn't have had the chance to leave the palace.
"Is there such a thing?" The emperor was greatly shocked when he heard this.
