Chapter 287 Regret
Hu Bazi sat down, holding his waist, and said with disdain, "Eunuch Zhao, what's the matter with you coming here today?"
"Look at what Bazi said. Can't I come over if I'm fine? After all..." Zhao Gao said with a hint of smile.
Hu Bazi had promised her that as long as she got pregnant, he would be the child's father. Although he didn't know whether the child was a boy or a girl, since she was pregnant, he had already won half the battle.
If he were a man, he would be crowned king or a marquis in the future, and would have a share of the wealth and honor. How could he not be interested?
Hu Bazi's body stiffened, and he protected his abdomen with both hands, with unconcealable contempt in his eyes. A mere eunuch, could he really want to be the father-in-law of his own child? He was really dreaming.
She interrupted Zhao Gao and gave him a warning look, "Eunuch Zhao!"
Zhao Gao didn't care about Hu Bazi's contempt. He had evidence that Hu Bazi had drugged the King of Qin. If she was willing to behave herself, she would be the child's mother. If she didn't cooperate, he believed that the King of Qin would choose another mother with good character for the child.
"Don't worry, my lord. I know my limits. I came here today just to see you and share another piece of news. Madam Mi will be moving to Liyang Palace instead of Lanchi."
Although Hu Bazi did not know the situation in Qin State, he knew that Liyang Palace was in Yongcheng, where the queen mother once lived.
She lazily lifted her eyelids and hummed softly, "Isn't this better? The farther she goes, the better. It would be best if she never comes back!"
Zhao Gao knew she was foolish and didn't expect her to have any brilliant ideas. "Eighth Son, you seem to be laughing too early. Liyang Palace is the Queen Mother's territory, which means that Madam Mi is now under the Queen Mother's protection."
"So what? Can she seduce the king from hundreds of miles away?"
"But the Queen Mother can restore her favor at any time, and you can't even get any information about her. This position in the main hall will never be yours."
As long as the Queen Mother is alive, Lady Mi's position will not be abolished, and the Qionghua Palace will be reserved for her forever.
"The Queen Mother is just the Queen Mother. How could she care about the affairs of the King's harem?" Hu Bazi didn't believe it. She didn't think the Queen Mother had such great ability.
Zhao Gao reminded him, "Just because the Queen Mother doesn't care doesn't mean she can't care. Even when the Queen was alive, many matters in the harem were decided by the Queen Mother. What's more, this matter involves Prince Fusu. If the Queen Mother helps Prince Fusu, she will definitely help Madam Mi."
"Why is she so partial?" Hu Bazi was very angry.
Zhao Gao was speechless for a moment. If the Queen Mother wasn't partial to Prince Fusu, then was she also partial to her? Who did she think she was?
Hu Bazi looked at the main hall in the distance, feeling unwilling. If Madam Mi could come back at any time, then what was the point of her staying here? Was she going to live in this small side hall for the rest of her life, always being inferior to others?
"Eunuch Zhao, you have to help me. We are in the same group." Hu Bazi's voice softened. "If I go up, I will get more benefits from you, right?"
A hint of mockery flashed in Zhao Gao's eyes. "I will naturally help you. Just rest assured and take care of your pregnancy. After you give birth to a son, you will have more blessings to come!"
"I knew that Eunuch Zhao really loved me the most!" Hu Bazi didn't think at all that the baby in her belly might not be a boy.
"You'd better drink this medicine obediently. If anything happens to this young master, it will be too late for you to regret it."
Hu Bazi nodded repeatedly, "Xing'er, bring another bowl of medicine over."
No matter how bad the medicine tastes, it is not as important as her promotion.
The little palace maid who had just cleaned up the broken porcelain pieces on the floor heard the order and immediately went to the small kitchen to get the medicine simmering on the stove.
Hu Bazi smelled the smell and couldn't help feeling nauseous, so he could only pinch his nose and drink the medicine.
Seeing that she was quite obedient, Zhao Gao smiled with satisfaction and said, "Eighth son, take good care of yourself. Don't think about other things, and don't worry about them."
"Then I'll leave everything to you, father-in-law."
After sending Zhao Gao away, Hu Bazi was still a little restless.
She didn't believe that an eunuch could help her much. Since the Queen Mother was so powerful, couldn't she just please her?
The Queen Mother liked Fusu, so she made the Queen Mother like her child as well. Then her child would have everything Fusu had.
The more I think about it, the more I think this plan is feasible!
Hu Bazi seemed to be more energetic.
But when she thought about the fact that she hadn't seen the Queen Mother since she became pregnant, she felt a little guilty. The Queen Mother shouldn't blame her, right?
Hu Bazi felt a little annoyed. If she had known that she would still need the empress dowager's help, she should not have thrown away those books. If the empress dowager asked about this, how should she respond?
"Xing'er, where are the books that the Queen Mother gave me?"
The maid replied cautiously, "Eighth Son, didn't you give the book to Seventh Son Zhao?"
I hope it’s not lost!
Hu Bazi breathed a sigh of relief, "Go to her and get the book back for me!"
Seeing Xing'er not moving for a long time, she said impatiently, "Go! What are you standing there for?"
"Zhao Qizi left the palace two months ago."
Hu Bazi was stunned. "Leaving the palace? She left?"
Zhao Qizi was the first concubine she met. At the beginning, the two of them were not at odds with each other, and Zhao Qizi also took care of her.
It's just that one of them looked down on the other's false nobleness, and the other looked down on the other's arrogance and indulgence. They jumped up and down to win favor. Over time, they would quarrel whenever they encountered something, so that they would mock each other when they met later.
Now that she is gone, Hu Bazi feels empty inside.
Now that Zhao Qizi is gone, who should she show off to?
"No, what about my books?"
"The book, the book should have been taken away by Zhao Qizi..." Xing'er's voice trembled.
Hu Bazi felt regretful. She had never thought that she would need those things one day. She couldn't help but yelled angrily, "Find a way to get those books back!"
"I can't leave the palace to look for Zhao Qizi!" Xing'er wanted to cry but had no tears. The things were sent out by Bazi, and now that he is gone, it is not easy to get them back.
A palace servant reminded her, "Your Majesty, those books are not unique. I have a way to buy them, but it will cost more money."
"Then go buy it for me." Anyway, she has money now, it's just a few tattered books, how much can she spend on it!
Hu Bazi wrote down the list of books according to his memory and gave it to the palace maid to go out of the palace to buy them.
When the palace maid came back, she had nothing in her hands.
Hu Bazi thought there were no books outside the palace and was about to get angry when he saw the palace servant kneel down and said, "Bazi, the money you gave me can only buy two or three books. If you want to buy all these books, it will cost at least a hundred taels of gold."
Bazi's monthly expenses were no more than 8,000 coins, and after deducting expenses for clothes, jewelry, food, etc., there was actually not much left.
