Chapter 934
In the evening, the family gathered together again and talked about what happened in the palace that day.
“Now that Consort Jing has lost power, it’s a good opportunity for us to make our move,” Huo Shu said. “Zirong has a good relationship with His Highness the Crown Prince, and His Highness the Crown Prince’s birth mother is the Empress. Perhaps we can use the Empress’s influence to take action against Consort Jing.”
Now is the best opportunity.
"Although Consort Jing has been demoted, she has been by His Majesty's side for so many years. His Majesty is not an unfeeling person. If we take action now, it would be too hasty."
No sooner had Huo Yue finished speaking than Zhong Jie pierced him with a sharp glare: "You've thought of everything, haven't you? Is it that you don't want to, or that you can't bear to?"
Huo Yue said helplessly, "Madam, we've been husband and wife for so many years, don't you understand my feelings?"
Zhong Jie gave a soft snort and ultimately did not make any further moves.
How could she not know?
However, I just feel that Huo Shu's words make more sense.
Consort Jing made moves against Huo Zhao and Huo Shu's two children, but although she failed, it did not change the fact that they had a deep-seated hatred for each other.
This is indeed a golden opportunity, but Huo Yue is right.
The situation reached a stalemate for a moment.
The dining room was filled with delicious aromas, but no one had any appetite.
With his slender hand, he picked up a white porcelain ladle, ladled out a bowl of mutton soup, and placed it beside Huo Zhao.
“Although Consort Jing has been demoted, she has been in the palace for many years, and her power will not be dismantled so quickly,” Shen Rang said. “Now is indeed not a good time to take action.”
Consort Jing, despite being deep within the palace, was able to mobilize assassins, indicating that her influence was not simple, and it's possible she had other contingency plans.
If you really push someone to the limit, you never know what they might do.
His words caused an even greater silence at the dinner table.
Huo Shu's face was extremely ugly, and the veins on his forehead were throbbing.
He wasn't a reckless person. If he really wanted revenge, he wouldn't have gone to the palace alone. But now, knowing that the people who harmed them were weak, yet unable to act, was truly unbearable.
You know, the last time he almost died at the hands of Consort Jing, it was his two children and his sister who had been lost for many years and was finally found!
These three people are all very important to him.
Especially if something were to happen to her two children, Chen Qiang would probably have to go with them.
How could he not hate that!
Huo Zhao looked around and said, "Anyway, it's impossible for us to take action now. However, I think Consort Xi and Noble Lady Jing have already broken ties. Perhaps we can win Consort Xi over to our side. She's in the palace and is Noble Lady Jing's niece. Wouldn't it be better if we could get her to take over Noble Lady Jing's power?"
Everyone looked at her.
"Besides, if she can gather some evidence, then we won't need to take action; His Majesty will act on his own."
Huo Yue nodded: "Zhao Zhao is right. Consort Xi is now very powerful, and this is the perfect opportunity for her to take over power from Consort Jing."
As the saying goes, there are no permanent enemies.
Without much personal connection, self-interest comes first.
This was also a good thing for Consort Xi, and in Huo Zhao's view, Consort Xi had no reason to refuse.
“I will go to the palace again tomorrow,” Huo Zhao said. “I have a warrant from Consort Xi’s palace, so I can enter the palace at any time.”
Today, when she entered the palace, Consort Xi changed her warrant.
The one who has the warrant to enter Consort Xi's palace freely is not Xin, but her.

The backyard and main courtyard of the Qu family.
Madam Qu sat blankly in the room. Even though it was long past mealtime and there was a delicious and colorful meal laid out in front of her, she had no appetite and did not touch her chopsticks.
She was still thinking about what she had seen and heard in the palace that day.
It hasn't been long since we last met, but Qu Ling seems like a completely different person.
