Chapter 922
The waterside pavilion was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.
Huo Zhao seemed completely oblivious to anything amiss, even leisurely picking up his teacup and taking a sip of tea.
After a long while, Consort Qu finally came to her senses: "I know about it. I'm sorry to have troubled you to come to the palace specifically to tell me."
Huo Zhao nodded: "If Your Majesty needs it, I will have someone keep an eye on that side, and if there is any movement, I will inform Your Majesty."
Looking at her, Consort Qu suddenly laughed: "Huo Zhao, you weren't like this last time."
At that time, she invited Huo Zhao into the palace, trying to get her help in a very polite manner, but Huo Zhao hesitated to agree.
Now they're eager to become her eyes and ears.
Huo Zhao curled his lips: "Last time is last time. Consort Qu is not a child anymore. She must know that there are no eternal enemies, right?"
There are no friends forever.
It was unclear what Consort Qu had thought of, but her eyes flickered slightly: "You're right, let someone keep an eye on things, and tell me if anything happens."
Huo Zhao nodded slightly, and seeing that Consort Qu was alright, he got up and left.
Consort Qu's gaze remained fixed on Huo Zhao's retreating figure until Huo Zhao left the room and disappeared from sight, at which point Consort Qu finally looked away.
She looked at the teacup placed opposite her and fell into deep thought.
She had only been in the palace for a short time, and while she did have the emperor's favor, she had not yet been able to cultivate her own network of connections within the palace, let alone extend her influence outside.
Therefore, if he wanted to know about Madam Qu and Qu Dun, he could only rely on Consort Jing.
Coincidentally, not long ago Consort Jing had told her about the news from outside.
At that time, Consort Jing said that Qu Dun's condition had not improved. He was taking medicine every day, but it was almost useless. Lady Qu was also constantly in tears...
What Huo Zhao said today is completely the opposite.
Huo Zhao seemed to have no reason to deceive her, but did Consort Jing have one?
right.
Consort Jing has.
Consort Qu took a deep breath and suddenly felt cold.
The coldness crept in from the heart, seeping through the limbs and spreading to every corner of the body.

Meanwhile, Huo Zhao returned to the Prince's mansion and found it quiet and peaceful, so she knew that no one knew she had gone to the palace and was finally relieved.
Back at Shanshui Residence, after closing the courtyard gate, Jixiang asked, "Young Madam, how is the situation in the palace?"
“It went very smoothly,” Huo Zhaodao said, “even more smoothly than I had expected.”
After all, Consort Jing was Consort Qu's aunt, so the two were naturally close. She originally thought she would have to persuade Consort Qu to believe her, but to her surprise, Consort Qu believed her before she even started.
It seems that there are some misunderstandings between Consort Qu and Consort Jing.
"By the way, keep an eye on the Qu family. If anything happens, be sure to let me know immediately."
Huo Zhaodao.
"yes."
A short while later, Zhong Jie came over, carrying something in her hand.
"Mother?" Huo Zhao stood up and went to greet her. "What brings you here?"
"I was just about to leave when I received this."
Zhong Jie handed the things to her.
Huo Zhao looked at the item, which was clearly sent from the palace, and thought to herself that the heavens were going to kill her.
She had originally planned to tell Zhong Jie after things were almost settled, but she never expected that Consort Qu would send her something.
Huo Zhao chuckled and took the item, opening it to find a warrant lying quietly inside.
She was from Consort Qu's palace.
With this warrant, one can move freely within the palace.
Looking up, I saw Zhong Jie leaning against the doorframe: "Explain yourself?"
