Chapter 141: If you don’t want to shiver, the child will probably be useless
The next morning.
He Zhaojun was standing far away and saw Shao Shang hiding anxiously behind a pillar. She watched Ling Buyi holding the tiger talisman and the two halves fitting together tightly in mid-air. She knew that this was not a fake she had made.
"Shao Shang, what's wrong?" He Zhaojun stopped the absent-minded Shao Shang on the road and asked the question even though she knew the answer.
Shao Shang seemed to have found his backbone and pulled He Zhaojun aside. "Sister Zhaojun, did you know that I forged... the tiger talisman? I only copied the style, but I didn't know it had a magnetic connection. What's going on?"
He Zhaojun smiled and touched her sweat-soaked forehead. "I heard that the Huo family's only remaining possession was a pair of tiger talismans, made by the same master as the one stolen from the East Palace."
"These two pairs are identical except for the slightly different patterns on the surface... Actually, you should have already figured it out before I even explained it."
Shao Shang was distraught: "Originally, I only thought about agreeing to the Crown Princess's request and helping the Eastern Palace overcome the difficulties. I didn't expect that I would become the difficulty that Ling Buyi had to overcome."
He Zhaojun didn't say anything, just listened quietly and let Shao Shang think for himself.
"The Crown Princess knew that with my forgery skills, I couldn't even fool her, let alone His Majesty and the others, yet she still asked me to make it. If Ling Buyi hadn't come today, the entire Cheng family might have been executed!"
Shao Shang was in great pain: "I originally thought that she was the best person to me in this huge palace, except for you. After all, she has helped me many times before. But now it seems that I am just a pawn for her to use to ward off her crimes."
He Zhaojun smiled and said, "Actually, if you want to know if someone is sincere towards you, don't listen to what he says, but watch what he does."
"The Crown Princess said a few words, which temporarily spared you punishment. You remembered her kindness, but it offended everyone else and made your situation in the palace even more difficult. How can this be considered good for you?"
"What's more, you were not of any value before, worthy of the Crown Princess treating you well. It wasn't until she needed you that she started to get close to you. Such kindness often harbors evil intentions, even more sinister than those who hit and scold you to your face."
Shao Shang nodded: "Yes, I know, so, from now on I will definitely be more careful and cautious, think more before doing anything, and won't let others take advantage of me anymore!"
He Zhaojun was very satisfied with her change: "Then this time, will you still hate General Ling?"
Shao Shang covered his ears, not wanting to hear her say, "I don't want to hear you mention this person for now. Tomorrow is a day off. Let's go out of the palace and have a drink with Sister Qiqi and Sister Lingling. By then, I will definitely be able to figure it out!"
He Zhaojun suppressed her laughter for a long time as she watched her fleeing figure. When she turned around, she saw Concubine Yue standing behind her, looking at her with a complicated expression.
He Zhaojun calmed down and quickly paid her respects to Concubine Yue.
Concubine Yue sighed: "Come with me."
He Zhaojun felt a little uneasy. Where had Concubine Yue first heard this? Was it from the time she forged the tiger talisman? Or from the time she said the Crown Princess wasn't sincere towards Shao Shang?
"Concubine Yue, may I ask what I did wrong? I know I seem to have said a lot of things that I shouldn't have said. In the future, I will try my best to stay out of the East Palace's affairs and not cause trouble for Yongle Palace and His Highness the Third Prince. However, I couldn't bear to see Shao Shang and General Ling's affairs, so I spoke up for General Ling..."
"I didn't ask anything, why did you confess? Can't you give me a chance to force me to confess?" Concubine Yue looked at He Zhaojun with a smile.
As she walked into Yongle Palace, she saw a female doctor waiting in the palace. He Zhaojun was confused. She didn't seem to be sick.
