Concubine Lin tilted her head and motioned Zijuan to come closer.

"Did you hear any strange noises just now?"

Concubine Lin asked.

Zijuan stood behind her seat and shook her head slightly, saying, "My lady, I have also been paying attention, but like you, I did not hear any sound."

Concubine Lin pondered for a moment and began to analyze the current situation.

She was like a lazy cat, leaning lazily on the back of the chair, rubbing her hands slowly on the fireplace.

The voice of Ji Guiren expanded its scope unknowingly.

But Zijuan couldn't hear it.

——It seems that only those concubines with high status can hear Ji Guiren’s voice.

Of course, this is just Concubine Lin’s current observation and speculation, and it will take more time and facts to verify.

Concubine Lin continued to observe the situation in the main hall of Kunning Palace, and asked Zijuan beside her: "Have the people who were sent out returned?"

Zijuan replied softly: "Your Majesty, news has come from Linhua Palace that some clues have been found."

Concubine Lin nodded in satisfaction.

She lowered her eyes and continued to savor the fragrant tea in her hand, but she had already begun planning her next move in her mind.

Above the main hall.

Zhou Changzai faced Wu Qing directly and said fearlessly: "Lady Ji, Lady Zhang may be afraid of you, but I am not."

She turned to look at Zhitao, who was kneeling on the ground and shivering, and said:

"This slave kept saying that someone was behind the scenes giving her advice on how to avoid the guards, allowing her to enter Lady Ji's bedroom unhindered."

"Just now everyone was suspicious of each other, wondering who was trying to harm Lady Ji, but they couldn't find any clues."

Zhou Changzai bowed slightly to the queen to show respect: "Your Majesty, perhaps there is no murderer behind this matter."

"I am a humble concubine, and I don't know whether I should say some things or not."

The Queen did not directly agree or disagree with her point of view, but her eyes became a little colder.

"Mr. Zhou, you can say whatever you want." The Queen said calmly.

After receiving the Queen's signal, Zhou Changzai turned around and looked around, then said, "My dear sisters, I have a question in my mind that I cannot help but express."

"I have been wondering, who is the person behind this, and how could he have such an extraordinary ability?"

"This person must be well aware of the guards' shift changes and be able to quietly avoid the heavy guards of Kunning Palace and come and go freely."

Zhou Changzai shook her head. "In my opinion, even the maids in Kunning Palace find it difficult to do this."

"Is it possible that Zhitao never left Noble Ji's room?"

"I think what Lady Zhang said is very right."

She suddenly raised her voice and pointed her finger straight at Wu Qing, "——Mrs. Ji, all of this is a drama you carefully planned!"

"Zhi Tao didn't even need to go around the guards. She could have hidden in your bedroom! The so-called family members being bribed is just a lie you made up to cover up the truth!"

Zhou Changzai said confidently, "Mr. Ji, your plan is full of loopholes. I have seen through it a long time ago."

As soon as Zhou Changyi put forward this view, it received support from many people.

"That makes sense." Someone agreed.

"What Zhou Changzai said is absolutely right." Someone else said.

Wu Qing's path to promotion was swift. In a short period of time, he became the focus of everyone's attention in the palace, and was awarded a title, enjoying unlimited glory.

This also made her a target of public criticism and she was hated by many concubines.

After hearing this, Wu Qing’s CPU was about to burn out.

【What is this? 】

[What she meant was, Zhitao was ordered by me? I made everything up?]

[Are you kidding me? I'm just looking for something to do!]

[But, the system...]

No. 2321's thoughts were interrupted by her: "What's wrong?"

Wu Qing coughed and asked quietly: [After saying so much, who is she? ]

Wu Qing spent most of her time in the book in Linhua Palace and Kunning Palace, and rarely had contact with these concubines.

This week Chang is here, and this is the first time she has seen him.

Zhou Changzai's face turned dark.

Concubine Yue, who was eavesdropping on the side, couldn't help but choke.

Wow, it turns out that after talking for so long, Ji Guiren still doesn’t know the name of the other debater.

No. 2321 said: "She is Zhou Changzai."

"The plot book has been in your hands for so many days, why haven't you memorized it yet?" it sighed.

It turns out that he is a host with an IQ of 67.

After the system said this, Wu Qing remembered.

She slapped her forehead and said, "Oh, it's Zhou Changzai."

[At the beginning of the original book, she and Qi often stood together and bullied the heroine, and almost forgot about her. ]

The voice of No. 2321 sounded in her ears again: "Stand up and refute her."

"You are a noble, and you have been granted a title by the Emperor himself, so you are much better than her."

"As a regular here, she should have followed the rules and been respectful to you. But now she dares to question you, which is disrespectful."

"You need to find loopholes in her words and convince her with reason, while at the same time using the difference in status to suppress her arrogance."

"This is a great opportunity for you to show your authority and establish your status."

2321 said expectantly.

【Oh, no hurry. 】

Wu Qing waved his hand, "Let me review the plot carefully first, and then I can make some decisions. 】

【Only by understanding your opponent can you win every battle. 】

She opened the story book.

[Zhou Changzai has liked forming cliques since she was young. After entering the palace, she formed another one, and all four of them were Changzai.]

[After Qi Chang was sentenced to death, only three people were left in the small group. ]

[Although Zhou Changzai's father was not a high-ranking official, she had an extremely wealthy mother.]

【With this wealth, Zhou Changzai thrived in the harem. 】

[She often generously shares all kinds of delicacies and treasures with her sisters, and therefore has an irreplaceable position in the small group. ]

No. 2321 urged, "They are all looking at you and waiting for your next words. Stop reading the plot book and go argue with Zhou Changzai. No one can wait any longer."

The concubines who could hear the sound: "..."

No, actually they wanted to listen a little longer.

[But I remember that she was not very kind to her younger sisters.]

Wu Qing ignored the system and continued to say in his mind, [This sister appears to be very nice to her sisters, but in fact, she often steals their favor in private. ]

[Although she often gives jewelry to her little sisters, in fact, it is not worth much, and they are all inferior products discarded by her own treasure pavilion. ]

[Not to mention the food, she often puts all kinds of drugs in it. ]

[Before the sisters went to bed, she put knockout drugs in them. After the sisters went to bed, she put abortion drugs in them. The main purpose was to take double precautions.]

Zhou Changzai was holding the handkerchief, and the cold sweat from his palms soaked the fine silk.

She turned her head stiffly.

The sisters who usually laughed and talked with her like sisters, now put on cold masks with sarcastic sneers on their faces.

"Zhou Yili, you've made us suffer by hiding this."

Zhou Chang's heart tightened and he quickly slid to his knees.

"Your Majesty, I am feeling a little unwell and would like to go to the Imperial Hospital for treatment."
