Zong Zheng Xiaoting gradually regained his composure and gave the emperor a soothing smile, "Father, isn't it true what Concubine Zhen said that there are two assassins who are separated? Father, you must hurry up and ask the guards to search in the direction of Concubine Zhen's Yutai Palace. There is another group, so they have to search this way."
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked nervous and pointed in the opposite direction of Yu Tai Palace.
"Here?" The emperor frowned.
"In reply to the emperor, after the assassin severely injured the second princess, he headed that way, so the princess made this suggestion." Qingqing's words became increasingly unclear, and therefore, people could see her increasingly swollen face.
"Oh?" The emperor looked in the direction Zong Zheng Xiaoting pointed, thoughtfully.
"Ting'er, Concubine Zhen no longer lives in Yutai Palace." The Queen took advantage of the situation and said to Zongzheng Xiaoting, "Since Concubine Zhen had a miscarriage, in order to prevent her from being emotionally attached to the past, I have moved Concubine Zhen to Tiankui Palace."
"Tiankui Palace..." Zongzheng Xiaoting muttered to himself, his voice suddenly rising, "Tiankui Palace! Aren't they the same group of people?"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting's face was full of disbelief, and it was this high-profile exclamation that revealed his thoughts transparently in front of the emperor and others.
The emperor felt the hand he was holding, and he held it tightly against his own. He then looked at Zongzheng Xiaoting's expression, disbelief and panic were revealed on his face.
"Empress, let me have a look at this pearl." The emperor patted the back of Zongzheng Xiaoting's hand soothingly and whispered, "Ting'er, don't be afraid. Your father is here and will never let you worry."
Zong Zheng Xiaoting was very cooperative and gradually loosened his grip on the emperor's hand. In his heart, he also secretly calculated. He thought that in order to deal with Concubine Lixian, he needed to take the power behind him into consideration, so he wanted to take the opportunity to get rid of Concubine Fu first. However, this was a mistake. Unexpectedly, everyone present was like a wolf and a tiger, waiting to eat Concubine Lixian alive.
Just this matter of pearls and Luo may be connected to the thoughts behind Concubine Lixian's death.
What is ice silk? One knows it is very expensive as soon as he hears it. And using ice silk as the string to fix the jade beads must make them a hundred times more valuable. Judging from the emperor's defensive behavior of crossing his arms and hugging his chest when Concubine Zhen mentioned it just now, this has already touched the emperor's bottom line. And what Concubine Zhen wants to do at this moment by combining the pearls with the assassin is already clear.
Concubine Zhen is actually the Queen's person!
It is true that when you are surrounded by mountains and rivers and think there is no way out, you will find a new village when you look up.
She originally wanted to use this incident to accuse Concubine Lixian of killing herself, but she just wanted the emperor to gradually distance himself from her and guard against Concubine Lixian. After all, the things that abandoned the carriage and the marshal must have been Concubine Lixian's plan after she died. So the one who would be sacrificed would be either Concubine Fu or Concubine Zhen.
As these two people are the ones supported by Concubine Lixian, the one who will be sacrificed will only be Concubine Fu.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting curled his lips and smiled slightly. The harem and the former dynasty were closely related. Concubine Zhen was powerful and the favors were balanced, while Concubine Fu's family power was slightly inferior to Concubine Lixian, and she was almost about to share Concubine Lixian's favor. No matter which point, the person who abandoned Che Baoshuai was destined not to be Concubine Zhen.
It's a pity that with Concubine Zhen's accusation, and in order to hide the man in black, I just went with the flow, I'm afraid this is the only way to get rid of Concubine Lixian.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked closely at the pearls in the emperor's hand. They had a smooth texture, a soft luster, and an oily, waxy luster. They were indeed top-grade soft jade.
Of course, this kind of jade can only be considered top-grade jade according to Zong Zheng Xiaoting's experience in the jade world. However, in this dynasty, it is priceless. From the moment the emperor played with it and looked at it, Zong Zheng Xiaoting could sense his displeasure.
"Concubine Lixian, do you have anything to say?" The emperor's eyes were sharp, staring closely at Concubine Lixian, who was kneeling on the ground with a charming look.
"I am wronged, and I really don't know how to defend myself." Concubine Lixian bit her lips, her face full of hurt, as if she had never done anything bad before and was now being wrongly accused and had no way to defend herself.
Just these one sentence made the emperor, whose tense body was tense, relax a little.
The emperor is showing signs of weakness!
Yes, one night of love means a hundred nights of love. If he is sincere to Concubine Rou, he may not be ruthless to others. This is why Concubine Rou is so sad that she is heartbroken. It is true love, so what? Who can not be heartbroken?
Zong Zheng Xiaoting looked at Concubine Rou Gui and saw that she was staring at the emperor with a mocking smile on her face becoming more and more obvious.
Zong Zheng Xiaoting also paid more and more attention to the emperor's every move. Seeing that the empress was eager to speak, he quickly winked at the empress and shook his head slightly to stop the empress from taking advantage of the victory. Looking at Zong Zheng Xiaoting's expression, the empress pursed her lips, then followed Zong Zheng Xiaoting's gaze and looked at Qingqing.
Seeing that Qingqing's face was so red and swollen that it was unbearable to look at, he understood and said, "Doctor Chen, please take a look at Qingqing's injuries first. How did her face suddenly become so swollen? How can she serve the princess in this state?"
Zong Zheng Xiaoting pursed his lips and looked at Qingqing with eyes full of pity, which naturally caught the emperor's attention.
"Yes!" Doctor Chen followed the empress's instructions and checked Qingqing's injuries. Fu Jieyu, who was kneeling beside Concubine Lixian, was worried at this moment. Naturally, this was seen by the emperor. Zong Zheng Xiaoting followed the emperor's gaze and laughed secretly. As everyone knew, Fu Jieyu was Concubine Lixian's person and they had always been on good terms. The emperor naturally understood this. At this moment, Concubine Lixian was in trouble, but Fu Jieyu was so scared. Wasn't this a case of trying to cover up something?
With a sharp gaze, the emperor played with the beads in his hand and said softly to Concubine Zhen, "The ground is cold. Concubine Zhen is weak. You have recovered from your illness recently. Don't kneel down and ruin your body. Get up and change into warmer clothes. Come back and talk."
The emperor's words made Concubine Zhen Xie En leave. Concubine Fu seemed to understand something, but just when she was hesitant, Concubine Rou Gui's action made her determined.
"It is still unknown whether this assassin is a gang or is just making a feint to the east and attacking in the west." Concubine Rougui smiled sadly without even looking at the emperor.
"People are greedy and never stop wanting to get what they want. Sometimes, I thought it was not that I didn't want to get retribution, but that the time hadn't come yet. That's why I believed it so firmly. Unfortunately, this retribution is like a favor, it's like walking on thin ice, no one knows, and no one can see it." Concubine Rougui smiled, "But it doesn't matter. From now on, I will accompany Ting'er day and night. We will live together and die together. I want to see what else you, Shangguan Jie Li, can threaten me with. I gave in because I wanted you to give Ting'er the antidote, but I didn't know that you became even more powerful. I accept that I can't cure you."
"Rou'er." The emperor looked at the sadness and despair on Concubine Rougui's face, and his original sympathy for Concubine Lixian instantly turned into guilt.
"Your Majesty, I have no interest in knowing about the assassination. Ting'er has suffered this crime, so I will stay in Cuiyun Palace to take care of Ting'er and protect Qingqing. If there is any interrogation, please sympathize with the princess and move her to another place. I don't know how much time we can spend together, so I need to cherish every hour as if it were the last limit. If Your Majesty still cares about me giving birth to an heir for the royal family and escaping almost death, please regard it as the best grace you can give me." Concubine Rougui's words were full of thorns. With tears in her eyes, she issued the order to expel the guest, which made Zongzheng Xiaoting applaud in his heart.
The emperor's face, unusually, turned extremely pale.
