Chapter 87 Who is the one who instigated Sun Cairen?

What? Concubine An is also having an affair with the man who had an affair with Concubine Rou?

All the concubines in the room were shocked and looked at Emperor Wen Zhao at the same time, with a hint of inexplicable excitement in their hearts.

The eyes of the Seventh and Eighth Princesses looking towards Emperor Wen Zhao were full of sympathy. The two girls looked at each other and sighed in their hearts that it was not enough that their father was cheated once, but he had to be cheated twice, and by the same man. This, this, this, their father was too miserable. But, but this was much more exciting than the stories in the book.

Emperor Wen Zhao's hand holding the teacup trembled as well, and when he saw the colorful looks from everyone in the room, his expression suddenly became colorful as well.

He glanced around coldly, pretending to be calm, but in his heart he wanted to dig out the man and whip his body. Unfortunately, he had ordered the man to be thrown into a mass grave at that time, and now he didn't know where the body was.

Anpin's figure swayed, her face turned pale, and the glimmer of hope in her heart was gone. She thought it was over, it was really over.

She didn't know who the strange man who was talking was, but he was so powerful that he even knew about the tablets she offered.

If His Majesty had not warned her beforehand that she should not show anything after the Ninth Princess came, she would have immediately knelt down and apologized. At this moment, her legs were shaking, but she had to stand with great difficulty.

After Ji Jinyou finished chewing the peach blossom cake in her hand, she couldn't help but grab another piece to chew on. She curiously asked what everyone was thinking: [But that man, wasn't he Concubine Rou's cousin? How come Concubine An also knows him? ]

System: [It is true that the man is Concubine Rou's cousin, but Concubine An's family and the man's family are old friends, and the two families often visit each other. Concubine An and the man have often played together since they were young. When Concubine An was young, her mother died, and her stepmother came into the family. Life was not easy for her. The man took good care of Concubine An and even saved her life from her stepmother. Concubine An has always regarded him as her lifesaver and is particularly grateful to him.]

【Later, the man found a lover. Although Concubine An didn't know who it was, she gave her best wishes to him.】

【Afterwards, Concubine Rou was sent to the palace by her family to be a concubine. The man was sad and heartbroken. When Concubine An found out, she had no way to comfort him. She had thought about repaying the favor by marrying herself to him, but the man only had Concubine Rou in his heart.】

Ji Jinyou asked: [How did Concubine An enter the palace? ]

System: [She was also chosen by her family and sent to the palace.]

Ji Jinyou: [Then Concubine An didn't know that Concubine Rou was the man's sweetheart? ]

System: [She only knew that the man's beloved had entered the palace, but she never knew who it was because the man never mentioned it.]

【Later, in order to climb up the social ladder, Concubine Rou caused the Imperial Concubine to lose a child. The Imperial Concubine decided to get rid of Concubine Rou and avenge her child, so she carefully planned for Concubine Rou to have a secret meeting with the man. After the incident, both of them died, and Concubine An only found out about it.】

Emperor Wen Zhao had long known about the affair between the Imperial Concubine and Concubine Rou. The Imperial Concubine was the person involved, and the Empress was a witness. At this moment, the three of them sat as still as a mountain, without moving a muscle.

The other concubines were all shocked with their eyes wide open, their minds full of mixed feelings, and they communicated with their eye contact.

It turns out that there was such a hidden secret back then. Concubine Rou's affair was actually planned by the Royal Concubine.

The Imperial Concubine is really cruel. Every move she makes is a killing move. Remember, remember, never mess with the Imperial Concubine in the future.

However, it was Concubine Rou who first harmed the Royal Concubine's child, so it's no wonder that the Royal Concubine retaliated.

…

If the occasion was not wrong, all the concubines would have put their heads together and had a good discussion.

Ji Jinyou: [Is that man innocent? He took care of Concubine An when he was a child and saved her life. He sounds like a good person? ]

System: [It’s hard to say. From Concubine An’s perspective, that man is probably the best person in the world. But from Emperor Wen Zhao’s perspective, that man is obsessed with his concubines in the harem, which is unforgivable.]

[Moreover, the man already had a fiancée and was planning the wedding before the incident. However, he was still rekindled because of a letter that the imperial concubine had someone forge. He was not in a clear mind.]

Ji Jinyou: [It's very unfair to his fiancée. After the man died, what happened to his fiancée?]

The system flipped through the information: [It was just passed over, saying that she was implicated by that man, her reputation was ruined, and her subsequent marriage was not smooth.]

Ji Jinyou: [Then this fiancée is extremely unlucky to have met such a person. ]

System: [Who said it wasn't? ]

Ji Jinyou: [What happened next? ]

The system continued: [Anpin learned that Concubine Rou was the man's favorite, so she asked for the Seventh Prince to be raised. At that time, the incident caused a big uproar. Everyone thought that Concubine Rou and the man were reckless and had a secret meeting in the palace. However, based on Anpin's understanding of the man, she felt that the matter was not that simple, so she secretly investigated and looked for clues, and finally guessed that it was the Royal Concubine. ]

Ji Jinyou: [This Concubine An is quite smart. ]

System: [In fact, this is not difficult to guess. Before Concubine Rou got into trouble, the Imperial Concubine had just lost a child. Moreover, it was the Imperial Concubine who took Emperor Wen Zhao and a group of people to catch the adulterer. A careful person can guess the answer with a little thought.]

Concubine An watched helplessly as Yi Wa and Yi Tong talked more and more, but she was powerless to stop them. After hearing this, she already knew deeply that after today, she would no longer have any secrets.

She was completely desperate and could no longer stand. She staggered a few steps and finally managed to stand steady by leaning against a pillar in the hall.

Over there, Yi Wa Yi Tong were still chatting.

Ji Jinyou: [Then Concubine An knows about the grudge between Concubine Rou and Imperial Concubine. Has she ever thought of harming Imperial Concubine? ]

System: [Of course she would think so. In the original story, she lived longer than the Imperial Concubine. But she was just a concubine, while the Imperial Concubine was a Imperial Concubine. There was a difference of several ranks between them. They were not on the same level. She tried several times but failed.]

[According to the original plot, one year later, Cairen Sun became pregnant, and someone used Cairen Sun's child to frame the Imperial Concubine. The Imperial Concubine was demoted, and in anger she killed Cairen Sun and two other concubines. She was then sentenced to death by His Majesty, and Concubine An had no chance to take action.]

Tong Tong's few short sentences were full of twists and turns, and contained countless shocking information. All the concubines were shocked when they heard it.

Everyone subconsciously looked at the Imperial Concubine, and couldn't help but secretly guess in their hearts, the Imperial Concubine killed two favored concubines, who was it, could it be themselves?

But among the concubines present here, except for the Empress and the Imperial Noble Consort, there are Concubine Shun, Concubine Yue, Concubine Fang, and Concubine Ying, Concubine Mu, and Concubine An standing on the ground. It seems that none of them can be considered a favored concubine. So who did the Imperial Noble Consort kill?

Despite being stared at by everyone, the imperial concubine remained calm, holding the teacup and drinking tea leisurely.

Ji Jinyou asked again: [So, the person who used Sun Cairen to frame the Royal Concubine is not Concubine An? ]

System: [It doesn’t say it’s her, and in the original storyline, the Royal Concubine never knew who was behind Sun Cairen until her death.]

Ji Jinyou thought about it and realized that if Concubine An really had that ability, she wouldn't have been pushed into the water and drowned by Song Zhaoyi. [Who was the person who instigated Sun Cairen? ]

Yes, who was it? Except for Concubine An who had lost all hope, the rest of the people in the palace, including Emperor Wen Zhao, the Imperial Concubine, Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu, and seven or eight princesses, all leaned forward, wanting to get closer to the little girl who was holding the peach blossom cake and eating it slowly, for fear of missing a word.

System: [I don’t know for now.]

Ji Jinyou sighed in his heart: [Tianjin, when can you level up? ]

Hearing this, everyone was very disappointed. Yes, this upgrade thing has been mentioned several times, why is there no action?

Just when I was listening with great interest, I found out that he didn't know the answer when I asked him this or that. It was really disappointing.

Ji Jinyou asked a few more questions about Concubine An, but the system had already told him everything it knew, so he could not get any more information.

After Ji Jinyou finished eating the piece of peach blossom cake in his hand, he was completely full. He burped and looked up, only to find that everyone was sitting quietly and no one was talking.

She couldn't help wondering, "Everyone, why aren't you talking?"

System: [You know, Youzi, everyone in the Dasheng Palace is weird.]

Ji Jinyou: [That’s right, but why did the Queen Mother call Youyou here? Brother Seventeen is waiting for me to go back and play.]

Everyone's heart sank when they heard the conversation between the baby and the bucket. In case the little girl noticed something was wrong, they all moved at the same time.

The Queen took out a handkerchief and wiped the little girl's hands. The Royal Concubine took the peach blossom cake on the table and handed it to the seventh and eighth princesses. The two of them each reached out and took a piece and started eating. Noble Lady Yue and Noble Lady Fang whispered to each other. Concubine Shun took a sip of the tea that had long gone cold. Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu also began to whisper to each other.

Ji Jinyou sat in the Queen's arms, his big dark eyes turned around, and found that everyone was normal again. He couldn't help but wonder if it was just his illusion.

But when she saw Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu talking intimately together, she realized something was wrong: [Don't you think it's strange? When we were at Miaoyunxuan before, Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu were sitting at the two ends, and neither of them paid attention to the other. How come in less than a moment, the two of them are so close again? ]

Concubine Ying and Concubine Mu looked at each other and saw regret and shame in each other's eyes. For so many years, the two had been misunderstanding each other, not knowing that they had blamed the wrong person.

System: [Yes, it is a bit strange. ]

Emperor Wen Zhao and the Empress looked at each other and nodded in tacit understanding, agreeing that they had to send Xiaojiu away quickly, as if she stayed any longer she would be exposed.

The queen touched the chubby girl's head and said with a smile, "Xiaojiu, go back first. I'll make some snacks tomorrow and then bring Xiaojiu over to eat. Is that okay?"

[All right, it turns out that the Queen brought Youyou here specifically for me to eat peach blossom cake.] Being remembered like this, Ji Jinyou felt a little happy, and stretched out her two round little arms to hug the Queen's neck, and put her cheek close to hers: "Thank you, mother."

The queen was stunned for a moment, then she kissed the little girl's tender face hard, touched her little nose, and said with a smile: "Our little nine can call me mother now."

Ji Jinyou didn't expect that the empress would be so happy just by changing the title. She smiled with her little milk teeth, and without explaining, she leaned over and kissed the empress.

The empress was so delighted that she personally carried the little girl up. After she saluted Emperor Wen Zhao with her little fist and then saluted the Imperial Concubine, she carried her out of the palace and handed her over to Jin Xing and Hai Tang. After watching the little girl walk away, she turned around and went back.

As soon as he entered the hall, he nodded to Emperor Wen Zhao, indicating that Xiaojiu had left.

Emperor Wen Zhao picked up the teacup beside him and smashed it on the head of Concubine An, who was already kneeling and kowtowing, and angrily cursed: "Poisonous woman."
