"Ya'er, if that's the case, then we're in danger. After all, we stumbled upon Concubine Jia's conspiracy that time, and that's why she acted so cruelly towards herself, just to put the blame on us so that she could distance herself from the matter.
If your father trusts her and loves her deeply, then we will definitely be in danger.
As soon as she cries, His Majesty will definitely issue a warning or impose punishment, and we will naturally not be able to escape punishment."
Bai Yinglin frowned, her eyes full of worry.
After hearing this, Zhao Ya suddenly jumped up from her seat.
She kept hesitating in the pavilion, rubbing her hands together.
"What should we do? What should we do, Yinglin? What if the emperor really punishes us for her?"
"Don't worry, they don't know about this yet, and no one noticed us that day.
So as long as we take countermeasures first, then everything will be fine."
Bai Yinglin thought calmly, because she knew that worrying would be of no use.
So it is better to keep yourself calm all the time, maybe this way you can think of better countermeasures.
"Ya'er, please sit down first. We don't have to be afraid at all. After all, she did all this by herself."
"No, Yinglin, this is not convincing at all. After all, we women value our appearance and would never destroy our faces for anything. So in everyone's eyes, it is like this, so who would believe that she would hurt her own face?"
Zhao Ya felt irritated and fearful. After all, she knew her father well. If he really wanted to punish someone, that person would be hard to escape.
Moreover, Concubine Jia is deeply favored by His Majesty, so no matter what anyone says, it will be of no use.
Even though she was once the Majesty's favorite daughter, she was no match for Concubine Jia.
"I'm sorry, Yinglin. If I hadn't been greedy and wanted to go to the imperial kitchen to eat something that day, this wouldn't have happened. But now what should I do? I don't want to die yet.
My father loves Concubine Jia the most. If Concubine Jia says something bad to him, I will be doomed. Will I become a clown?"
As Zhao Ya was thinking, an image of her face covered with scars popped up in her mind. Fear immediately took over her heart, and she suddenly covered her face with her hands.
This absolutely cannot be allowed. This beautiful face of mine has survived for so many years and has never been hurt, so I absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen.
"Ya'er, listen to me first. I think Concubine Jia must have some shameful past. If we can find out, it might be used against her, and we might be able to escape this disaster."
"How do you know?"
"That day, Zhirou wrote on a piece of paper about Concubine Jia's bracelet, and also about the bracelet that Steward Wu mentioned.
Who would be sentimental about a bracelet for no reason? This is not normal behavior, unless there is one thing, that is, this bracelet was given to her by her lover.
Otherwise, why would she have worn that object on her wrist for several years? She had always been hot and cold towards His Majesty, and suddenly her temperament changed drastically after the fire.
This is also an area worth investigating, and it may be of great help."
Bai Yinglin carefully investigated the whole situation.
Zhao Ya listened carefully to every word, then spoke:
"Yinglin is so helpless. I think there must be some reason why Concubine Jia has changed so much."
There was a complicated expression in Bai Yinglin's eyes, as if she was saying that there were some things she couldn't say, but after thinking for a long time, she considered saying it again.
"Do you think that Concubine Jia is not the same Concubine Jia now?"
These words echoed in Zhao Ya's ears several times, but Zhao Ya still didn't understand what they meant.
After thinking about it several times, Zhao Ya finally understood what Bai Yinglin said.
"Are you saying she's not Concubine Jia?"
"This is just a possibility. After all, a person's personality won't change drastically in a short period of time, unless they are no longer the same person as before."
Although Zhao Ya was a little confused by the conversation, she still got the most important information from it, which was that this Concubine Jia was most likely not Concubine Jia.
"Yinglin, are you sure... After all, I've never heard of such a thing.
But I know how to possess someone else's body," Zhao Ya said.
Then Bai Yinglin fell into deep thought thinking about these two words.
"Possession?" This is unlikely. The premise of possession is that the person taking over the host's body cannot change the scars on the host's body.
Moreover, in a fire, this situation would never exist.
How could an ordinary person be left unscathed in a fire?
"this……"
Bai Yinglin looked at Zhao Ya's round little face, and then began to fear that Concubine Jia would take revenge on her. After all, if such a beautiful face was ruined like this, it would be something she would never be able to get rid of in her lifetime.
"Yinglin, you must go hunting in Nanshan. Perhaps that will be a good opportunity."
…
Nanshan.
The sound of horse hooves resounded through the sky, and the birds in the forest were scared away.
The sound of laughter could be vaguely heard.
"Who do you think will be the winner of this trip to Nanshan?" His Majesty asked, looking around.
Several ministers beside him began to answer.
"I believe that the eldest prince is smart and capable and will not disappoint Your Majesty's expectations."
The minister was a smart man and knew that the person His Majesty valued most was the eldest prince Zhao Xi.
As expected, His Majesty laughed heartily after hearing this and was very satisfied.
Some people behind him began to despise this person. People go wherever the wind blows.
"Although the eldest prince is smart and capable, the second prince is still mature and steady."
…
"Yinglin, what kind of spiritual beast do you think we can meet this time?" Zhao Ya's clear voice sounded in Bai Yinglin's ears.
When Bai Yinglin heard the word "spiritual beast", she was a little confused for a moment.
How come there is a spiritual beast? This kind of species should not appear in Huanjun City.
"Spiritual beast? That's not right. Spiritual beasts shouldn't appear in Huanjun City."
Bai Yinglin said.
"Yinglin, you don't know what I'm talking about. Although Huanjun City is a small country, there is one very important thing: we will never do anything without a purpose.
There is no prey in Nanshan that can attract my father.
However, the fact that we can go hunting in Nanshan this time must mean that there is something precious there, something that our country can show off in our dreams."
Zhao Ya grinned and said seriously with a hint of pride.
Bai Yinglin nodded silently.
Come to think of it, if there were no prey like spiritual beasts, Your Majesty would never have started this war.
