"This... was fine at first, but then it seemed not so good. When Empress Xiu Rong sees the girl, she will know whether she is in a good mood or not." Baozhu replied calmly.
Seeing that Wu Xirou couldn't get anything out of the question, she had no choice but to remain silent.
Liuli became more and more unable to stand, but she didn't dare to forget one thing. She couldn't fall out with Qin Zhao just yet.
Even if Qin Zhao embarrasses Empress Xiu Rong, she cannot be dissatisfied at all, otherwise it doesn't matter if she herself is harmed, and it will be her fault to implicate Empress Xiu Rong.
Liuli endured it hard so that she didn't explode. She thought that Xiu Rong Empress could endure it, so naturally she could endure it too. When Empress Xiu Rong surpassed Qin Zhao one day, she would no longer need to endure it.
As Wu Xirou's master and servant waited hard, another hour soon passed.
Just when Wu Xirou was about to lose her support, Baoyu came out to send a message saying that Qin Zhao was inviting.
Wu Xirou's feet were a little shaky, but she breathed a sigh of relief. Accompanied by Liuli, she entered the main hall.
Qin Zhao didn't look at her directly, his expression was not as kind as before, but a little solemn.
She could tell something was wrong from Qin Zhao's expression. In addition, Qin Zhao was deliberately making things difficult and didn't see her for two hours, which made her worry that something had happened.
"I wonder why my sister came to see me?" Wu Xirou asked softly after greeting Qin Zhao.
Qin Zhao looked at Wu Xirou, looking up and down with a scrutinizing look in his eyes.
Wu Xirou's mood was raised in the air, but she could only pretend to be calm.
"I heard something related to my sister. After hesitating for a long time, I decided to ask my sister myself." Qin Zhao opened his lips calmly.
Wu Xirou smiled: "Sister, if you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask them directly. I will tell you everything I know."
Could it be that Qin Shuang told Qin Zhao that she revealed Qin Zhao's pregnancy? Otherwise, why would Qin Zhao look at her like this?
The more she thought about it, the more likely she felt that this was a possibility, otherwise Qin Zhao would not be so abnormal.
"I heard that my sister was spreading rumors behind my back that I was pregnant, and the Queen Mother also found out about it. The reason why you have been in Cihe Palace for the past three days is because you were punished by the Queen Mother." Qin Zhao said softly.
Of course, Wu Xirou was the one who spread the news about the false pregnancy this time. She knew this fact early on. But now that she wanted to close the net, she had to put some pressure on Wu Xirou, so that the net could be closed completely.
Wu Xirou expressed surprise: "Where did my sister get this false news? I have always been close to my sister, and many people are jealous that I can gain my sister's attention, so they will talk nonsense in front of her. My sister must not be greedy.
Word."
The fact that she was punished by the Queen Mother for copying Buddhist scriptures could not have reached Qin Zhao's ears. Qin Zhao had just clearly tested her deliberately.
Qin Shuang and Qin Zhao never interacted. In this case, it was impossible for Qin Shuang to take the initiative to come to Qin Zhao to talk about this matter.
Of course, there is another possibility. There is a traitor in Cihe Palace, and someone told Qin Zhao about her copying Buddhist scriptures in Cihe Palace. But the slaves in Cihe Palace have served Empress Dowager Guo for many years, how could they betray Empress Dowager Guo?
"I know people but not their hearts. How can I know if my sister is sincerely dating me? Just say that Liuli around my sister is arrogant. To be honest, Liuli's hostility towards me makes it impossible for me to believe that my sister is sincerely dating me."
Qin Zhao's social line swept over Liuli: "Liuli is the most trusted person around my sister. As my loyal servant, she is hostile to me, so it's not surprising that my sister regards me as an enemy."
When Liuli heard this, her face turned pale. She hurriedly knelt down and clarified: "I don't dare! I never speak without thinking. The empress Xiu Rong has taught me many times, but I always have a short memory. It's my fault.
Wrong, this slave deserves to die."
After she finished speaking, she slapped herself, one slap after another, sparing no effort.
Wu Xirou did not stop Liuli when she saw this scene. She clarified: "Sister Qin doesn't trust me. It's all my own fault. It's because I didn't teach Liuli well, and it's also because I didn't do well enough to gain sister's trust.
But my friendship with my sister is definitely not an act. I hope my sister will trust me again and not let others sow discord."
Qin Zhao glanced at Liuli and suddenly said: "If I ask my sister to send Liuli out of the palace, will my sister be willing?"
Liuli was shocked when she heard this. She had served Wu Xirou for so many years and never thought that one day she would be kicked away by Wu Xirou. She also angered Wu Xirou last time. Wu Xirou wanted to abandon her for a time, but in the end she still thought about her for many years.
The love of master and servant brought her back to his side.
Qin Zhao made such a vicious request, which was clearly an attempt to drive a wedge between her and Empress Xiu Rong.
Wu Xirou did not expect Qin Zhao to make such a request.
Liuli thinks about everything for her, and after serving her for many years, sending Liuli out of the palace means that she no longer has anyone she can trust around her. Is Qin Zhao doing this to test her, or is it because he just doesn't like Liuli, or is it because he doesn't like Liuli?
Want to isolate her in the harem?
She didn't know how to answer for a moment. If Liuli was sent away, she would not be willing to do so. If Liuli was kept, Qin Zhao would not be happy, so it seemed that the answer would be wrong.
"Look, my sister was not happy when I said I wanted to send Liuli away. Liuli is becoming more and more arrogant. What will affect my sister's future in the harem in the future is my sister's good, so I proposed to send Liuli away." Qin Zhao saw that Wu Xirou was unhappy.
Speak, curling your lips sarcastically.
Liuli looked down on her and her attendants from the bottom of her heart. Isn't this also what Wu Xirou felt?
The master and servant clearly despised her in their hearts, but they still wanted to hang out in front of her. This seemed very hypocritical.
"Even if Liuli made a thousand mistakes, I can't bear to let her go. After all, she has served me for so many years. I will discipline her well. Please give Liuli another chance." Wu Xirou blurted out.
Qin Zhao was happy when he heard this: "Liuli is my sister's close attendant. It's my sister's business to send her away or not. What does this have to do with whether I give her a chance? My sister, just remember one sentence, some people are not well-raised.
, sooner or later Liuli will ruin your good deeds."
Liuli's fists clenched and unclenched, unclenched and clenched again. She really wanted to rush to Qin Zhao and tear Qin Zhao's face apart.
Qin Zhao seemed to know what she was thinking and looked over with a cold look. This look seemed to penetrate directly into the depths of her heart.
Her heart trembled and she lowered her head.
Qin Zhao looked at Liuli's head and said word by word: "Some people are evil at heart, and I have seen through the evil in those people!"
Liuli felt terrified. If nothing unexpected happened, the person Qin Zhao was talking about was her.
She only hated that she was just a servant and her status was low, so she had no place to speak here.
"As for whether the news about this pregnancy was spread by my sister, I decided not to pursue it to the end. But this kind of thing can never happen again. If there is a next time, I will never take it lightly. Sister, please." Qin Zhao said.
