The emperor went to Yuxiu Palace, and everyone wanted to know what to do, but Yuxiu Palace was the territory of Concubine Yu, and it was very strictly guarded, if she didn't want to release the news, she wouldn't be able to hear anything at all.
After that, Concubine Yu went to Chaoxia Palace, personally found a group of palace people, and asked Jia Zhaoyi to choose, to make Chaoxia Palace like an iron bucket, no longer allowing people to take advantage of it.
Her behavior immediately made everyone in the palace understand that Concubine Yu was expressing her stance that she was going to focus on protecting Jia Zhaoyi, and she had already gone into battle to take care of things, which proved that she was willing to take responsibility.
Because of Jia Zhaoyi's miscarriage, a concubine was punished in the harem almost a day, and Chen Xueying was left in the palace, and she didn't feel bored, but ate melons and watched dramas every day, and she was very happy.
Now that Concubine Yu is doing this, she can't understand it, so she simply wanders to the study again.
Lu Zhao was reviewing the folds, and when he saw her walk in, he handed her a letter directly, and then bowed his head without saying a word, and continued to immerse himself in official business.
After Chen Xueying took the letter, she unfolded it and read it carefully, it was very clear that what was the purpose of Lu Wuji's trip to Yuxiu Palace, and what happened halfway, all had a beginning and an end.
She had been reading it for half an hour, not because there were too many contents in the letter, but because she had read it carefully several times and thought about it a lot.
First of all, this must be a secret letter, and it is also a secret letter sent by the prince's forces, which can detect Yuxiu Palace, and also expose the content of the chat between the emperor and Yu Guifei, all of which are inseparable from eight-nine, and the sender is either an eyeliner placed in Yuxiu Palace, or a shadow guard with superb martial arts, who can avoid the palace guards and hide in Yuxiu Palace to overhear these news.
Either way, it proves that Lu Zhao's strength is unfathomable now, at least he has the capital to compete with the old pervert.
At the same time, it is also his trust in her, showing his strength and explaining to her.
"Done?"
Chen Xueying was brainstorming, and when she heard Lu Zhao's voice, she immediately looked up and saw that the man had already put down the brush in his hand and asked softly.
"After reading it, you are very powerful now, you can even detect such a secret news, has this palace leaked into a sieve in your eyes?" Chen Xueying asked.
The man shook his head: "No, because it happened in Yuxiu Palace, it's easy to investigate." If it is in Longqian Palace, I am still helpless, after all, Longqian Palace has wolves, and it is okay to fool these guys once or twice, but if there are too many times, it will be exposed, so until the critical moment, I will not easily make a move on Longqian Palace. â
When Chen Xueying heard this, she couldn't help but stroke her palms and said, "Hey, that's pretty much the same, it proves that you still have a way." Congratulations, you're one step closer to your goal. â
Lu Zhao chuckled lightly and did not answer.
Chen Xueying said curiously: "The miscarriage incident was planned by you and Jia Zhaoyi, are these people who are held accountable involved?" â
"Naturally, there is, the old guy disposed of these concubines, not just by the pillow, but by catching real evidence, and Qin Youan personally led someone to find out, if it is cheating, it is easy to fall short."
Lu Zhao's tone was affirmative, he obviously had a free time door at the moment, so he explained it to her so carefully.
"Jia Zhaoyi is the only favorite, and there is a tendency to completely dominate the old guy, and that old thing still looks like he has a deep love for her, which offends the reverse scales of the concubines in the palace, but Jia Zhaoyi is pregnant, and there are countless people who have attacked her openly and secretly."
"In fact, so many people have made a move, and the concubine doesn't need to do anything more, she just needs to sit back and enjoy her achievements, but she relies on the fact that she has foreign officials to take care of it, and she doesn't need to take action in person, so she has no fear, and still persistently adds bricks and tiles to this."
"The reason why it hasn't been exposed before, it's because Jia Zhaoyi let the personal palace people hide it, and they couldn't bear it, until they joined forces with Gu, and these things were exposed at one time, and the evidence of the crime doesn't need to be forged, let Qin You'an investigate, and find out as much as you want."
He spoke in great detail, but Chen Xueying listened to it speechlessly.
At first glance, it sounds like it will be finished in a few words, but in fact, it is absolutely necessary to be cautious when it comes to implementation, lest Qin Youan not only find out the evidence of the concubines' crimes, but also find out some things that should not be investigated, in case they are found out jointly, it will be all over.
"Is she willing to have a miscarriage?"
Lu Zhao nodded: "She has the so-called dragon seed in her belly, if she is unwilling, how can Lone force it." Then it's not an alliance, it's a feud. Not only was she willing, but she also took the initiative to ask for it. â
Although Chen Xueying guessed that she was willing, she couldn't help but be surprised when she heard that it was Jia Zhaoyi who took the initiative to ask.
"Ask for it, why?"
Giving birth to the emperor's child is definitely the top priority for the concubines in the palace, and it is even more important than being favored.
After all, the emperor is unreliable, but his own children are still reliable.
"I should have been scared by Zhong Li's ending." Lu Zhao shook his head and guessed casually.
Obviously, he didn't ask, this is also necessary to strengthen the alliance's favorability, if she didn't want to say, Lu Zhao wouldn't take the initiative to ask, and vice versa.
Chen Xueying frowned, and after thinking for a moment, she immediately nodded.
"She's a smart person, she should have figured it out. The child in her womb, male or female, was born with little benefit. If it is a prince, he will be sent to the wolf's den after being raised by his side for half a year, and if the princess is not left behind, with the state of Beiqi, who looks down on women, he doesn't know where to be sent to suffer in the future. â
And the five princes born to Zhong Li will definitely be recorded in her name in the future, and they can be regarded as her children, and they have a son without pain, and they can be regarded as having a dependence. Even if it's unreliable, there is still an ally. On the contrary, she was allowed to have a miscarriage, which led to the evidence of these concubines harming her, and when the emperor was favored, she punished these people, which can be regarded as maximizing the benefits. â
After Chen Xueying said this, she couldn't help but sigh, it was easy to say, but Jia Zhaoyi must have suffered a lot.
"I'll see her tomorrow."
"It's fine." Lu Zhao nodded.
"Is Concubine Yu involved? Jia Zhaoyi's cold medicine in the food, did she put it? Chen Xueying asked curiously again.
"No, Concubine Yu is not only smart but also cautious, so many concubines in the palace do something to Jia Zhaoyi, Concubine Yu naturally knows it in her heart, and she doesn't need to do it herself. As for the cold medicine in the food, it was based on the prescription prescribed by Yuxiu Palace in the past year, and the cold medicine prescription that was selected and pieced together was deliberately pointed at Yu Guifei, but there was no clear evidence, so it was plausible, half-truth, and half-truth, so that the old guy's anger was drawn over. â
Chen Xueying couldn't help but applaud: "Woe to the east, but it seems that the situation has reached an impasse again." The old pervert refuses to touch Concubine Yu, just to ensure the strength of the second prince to compete with you. â
Lu Zhao raised his head, looked at her, and was silent for a moment before saying, "It's okay, he doesn't move, I'll move." â
Chen Xueying's eyes couldn't help but light up when she opened her mouth as if she wanted to ask something, but she remembered what she had said before that she didn't want to know too much, so she simply swallowed back the question in her heart.
She raised her hand and applauded him directly.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, with your words, then I am looking forward to it and waiting for your good news."
Lu Zhao hooked his lips and chuckled, "No problem." â
On the afternoon of the second day, Chen Xueying picked out some gifts and went to Chaoxia Palace to visit Jia Zhaoyi.
Jia Zhaoyi was leaning on the bed, her face was still pale and in a very bad state.
"Crown Princess, I'm not feeling well, so I won't get up to salute you."
"You lie down, I'm here to visit, but don't toss you around and make you weaker, that's on purpose." Chen Xueying waved her hand, it didn't matter if it was authentic.
When Jia Zhaoyi heard her words, she couldn't help but chuckle, obviously thinking that she was talking funny.
"Although I haven't experienced it, I also know that women have miscarriages, and their qi and blood are seriously deficient, so you need to eat more to replenish qi and blood. And if you can't see people, don't see them, and take care of them. lest you usher in too much, and pay attention to some false courtesy, but make yourself more tired, and the gains outweigh the losses. â
Chen Xueying looked at her carefully, Jia Zhaoyi was originally thin, but now she is even more thin, there is no flesh on her cheeks, and her cheekbones are a little protruding, thanks to her good looks and good temperament, showing a bit of pity, otherwise it will give people a skinny feeling.
"You're right, it's just a loss of qi and blood, and I can't make up for it for a while, so I have to cultivate slowly, I'm afraid I'll have to stay in bed for a month." I'm lying down uncomfortable, and I really want to go to the East Palace and watch you play with the wolves. Her voice was also in a state of weakness.
"It's in no hurry. The wolves have been there anyway, and we'll go back when you're ready. When it's snowy in winter, it's really fun, and when you sit in your car and let the wolves pull you through the snow, you can make a sharp turn. â
Chen Xueying described it very interestingly, she was completely painting a big cake for her, and sure enough, when she saw Jia Zhaoyi's eyes shining, she was full of anticipation, and she couldn't wait to play immediately.
"But the premise is that you have to take care of your body and replenish your qi and blood. If your body is weak and it is freezing outside on a snowy day, you can't stay at all. What's more, sitting in a low car, when the wolves run, the cold wind is whistling, and the cold is drilling into the cracks of the bones. Even I can't stand it, if you don't recover, I'm afraid I won't be able to bear it, and I won't be able to play. â
When Chen Xueying saw her like this, she immediately added.
When her words fell, Jia Zhaoyi immediately laughed: "In order to let me take good care of my body, the crown princess also took great pains, and used wolves to pull a cart to lure me. â
"Your kindness, I understand. Don't worry, in order to experience the feeling of flying, I will take care of my body. â
Chen Xueying's intentions were immediately seen through by her, and Jia Zhaoyi's whole face was like a flower, and her whole body was full of joy.
"Okay, if only you could understand my good intentions. I brought some food to replenish qi and blood, although you should not lack it here, but if you don't come empty-handed to see a doctor, you can take it. â
As she spoke, she took out a purse from her sleeve and handed it to the palace maid who was waiting beside Jia Zhaoyi.
"This is a prescription for the body that I collected, not a prescription for medicine, but mainly a dietary prescription. You have shown it to the doctor, and then let the small kitchen make it for you. In addition, your Zhong family is a family of military generals, and there must be many ways to raise the body, but presumably most of those methods are relatively strong, after all, they are biased towards men to practice martial arts, if you use it, you must screen it in advance......"
Chen Xueying chattered, with a sincere sense of concern, which made Jia Zhaoyi couldn't help but be moved.
She had always felt that the crown princess was arrogant and indifferent, only caring about her own one-third of an acre, but she didn't expect her to be so caring.
After Chen Xueying said something, she got up and said goodbye.
"It's when you need to recharge your batteries, so instead of listening to my nonsense, you should rest more." She waved her hand, turned and left.
When Chen Xueying returned to the East Palace, she found that Lu Zhao was already sitting in the inner hall.
"Came back so early today? And you haven't seen the folds yet, don't you take a break? â
"No, I just want to ask you when you are free, I can take a day off, and I will rest when you are free."
"Ha, it's rare that you can take a vacation, I haven't had anything to do recently except play with the Haha team, you can arrange it."
"Okay." Lu Zhao drank a cup of tea, and after saying these few words, he went to review the folds again.
The weather is getting colder, and winter is fast approaching.
One day a few days later, Lu Zhao decided to take a vacation, and after waiting for her to get up, he would accompany her to breakfast.
"If there is no arrangement today, why don't you go and say hello to the queen mother?" He offered to offer.
Chen Xueying was slightly stunned: "That's naturally possible, but next time I have to say it earlier, it's all sunburned, how can I go to ask for peace at noon?" â
"It's okay, just right to dine with her." Lu Zhao waved his hand.
"That's fine, I don't like to get up early to say hello. When I take power in the future, I have to come to lunch to say goodbye, and after saying hello, I will quickly drive away, and we will all go back to dinner. This early in the morning, who is impatient, especially in winter, getting up early is almost half a life! She muttered discontentedly.
After the two had dinner, they took a sedan chair to Fengzao Palace.
"Why do you want to see the queen mother today, you are not usually so caring." Chen Xueying couldn't help but ask.
"I wasn't intimate before, because we met and had nothing to say, but it was a kind of torture for each other. Now it is a pleasure to have you in it, and it is pleasant to meet and chat with each other, which is also good for the physical recovery of the queen mother. Lu Zhao explained seriously.
Chen Xueying nodded with satisfaction for his answer, obviously praising her.
After the two arrived, they sat down and chatted carefully, and then it was time for dinner, and they stayed for lunch.
"Mama Wei, I want to eat noodles." After Lu Zhao sat down, he suddenly ordered.
Mama Wei, who was originally serving the queen for dinner, suddenly lit up when she heard this.
"Your Highness still remembers that the old slave is good at making noodles. Okay, I'll do it for you, and the princess will also try the old slave's craftsmanship later! With that, she left in high spirits.
The queen also had a smile on her face, and she talked to the prince with great interest about how delicious the noodles made by Mama Wei were, and she didn't get tired of eating them for so many years.
Chen Xueying couldn't help but lean over and whisper to him.
"Lu Zhao, yes, your skills have increased greatly, and you know how to make your mother happy."
Things like Mama Wei are good at making noodles, which are actually small details, and it is not easy to touch taboo and sad topics, but it will seem very warm, so as to open up the conversation and repair the relationship logically. īŧīŧnīŧ
