Chapter 835
Huo Zhao looked up at her.
Is Consort Qu telling me that getting along well with her will bring me benefits?
But...why?
Why is Consort Qu acting this way?
This question lingered in her mind even after Huo Zhao left the palace.
This is really strange.
It's so strange it's almost eerie.
Zhong Jie was still waiting for her at the palace gate. When she saw Qu Pin coming out with a bunch of baby bibs and heard her talk about things in the palace, she couldn't figure out what Qu Pin was thinking.
“Let’s ignore her,” Zhong Jie said. “Let’s go home and think about it slowly.”
Huo Zhao nodded.
She realized at that moment that once someone enters the palace, regardless of whether they are male or female, they will always develop a shrewd and cunning mind.
When Qu Ling was first sent to the palace, she felt fortunate, thinking that she was finally rid of such a troublesome person. However, she did not expect that this troublesome person would become even more difficult to deal with now that he was in the palace.
This is really troublesome.
——
Inside the palace.
Consort Qu looked at the sky outside, her face no longer showing any of the gentleness she had shown when facing Huo Zhao, but instead filled with melancholy.
Her maid stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Your Highness clearly dislikes that princess, so why do you force yourself to be so polite to her?"
Consort Qu shook her head: "There's nothing I can do."
She used to be very good friends with Yun Wan. After Shu Ningshuang and Yun Wan had a falling out for some unknown reason, she became the person closest to Yun Wan.
Later, Yun Wan became the daughter of the Crown Prince. Before she could enjoy her glory for long, Huo Zhao returned, and the Crown Prince's downfall was visibly swift. Because of her lack of self-restraint, Yun Wan made many enemies in Luoyang City.
She didn't think much of it at the time, but now, looking back, she realizes that during that period, she made many enemies while following Yun Wan. The remaining so-called friends were far inferior to her in terms of family background and status. Now that she is in the deep palace, she can't rely on those so-called friends.
After thinking it over, she realized that the grudge between her and Huo Zhao wasn't very deep.
After all, she was just used as a tool, and she didn't cause Huo Zhao much trouble. In addition, given her current status, she can negotiate with Huo Zhao.
Being by the emperor's side, the Yunnan Prince's Mansion might need her in the future, and she would be happy to serve. In exchange, Huo Zhao would have to stay outside and take care of her family, ensuring that her mother and younger brother would not be harassed.
This was Consort Qu's purpose.
After all, the palace walls were too many barriers, and even though Consort Qu was the emperor's most favored concubine, she was powerless to take care of her family.
But Huo Zhao can.
In terms of status, Huo Zhao is a princess. As long as Huo Zhao clearly states that she is willing to support her mother and younger brother, no one in the Naqu family will dare to neglect them.
She has already taken the first step; now it depends on whether Huo Zhao is willing to do so.
Consort Qu frowned, her eyes filled with worry.
She felt that Huo Zhao shouldn't reject her advances.
After all, she's in a position of power now.
If Huo Zhao is unwilling to accept it, then all she needs to do is whisper in the emperor's ear, and the entire Yunnan Prince's Mansion will be in grave danger.
Thinking of this, Consort Qu finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Yes, Huo Zhao certainly wouldn't refuse.
This will definitely succeed!
