Zhuang Heng was bribed by people from Bei Liao, so in order not to alert the enemy, they had to execute Zhuang Heng in secret.
"Don't worry, I will never reveal this news." Qin Wu promised.
But she was suspicious.
It's really a bit suspicious that the people of Northern Liao took the initiative to collude with the prince consort and made him the commander of the imperial guards and control the palace.
The relationship between Northern Liao and Great Zhou has always been bad. The peace treaty has long been reached, and the previous negotiations between the two countries also broke down.
If Bei Liao has someone in the Great Zhou, then why bother looking for someone who is not sure whether he can accomplish anything to be the leader of the Imperial Guard?
If this prince consort was really capable, why would he rely on the princess to get the official position he wanted?
Qin Wu even suspected that the prince consort had really passed the imperial examination and become the top scholar on his own? Instead of others fanning the flames from behind?
If the other party had the ability to help Zhuang Heng pass the imperial examination and become a royal consort, why didn't he just kill the commander of the Imperial Guards and then recommend a secret agent to take over the position of the commander of the Imperial Guards?
Qin Wu felt that the matter of the prince consort was not that simple.
...
...
The situation in the palace is not as simple as it seems.
In the previous life, the princess did not catch her husband committing adultery, and in the end, the princess died, and it seemed that her husband was not appointed as the commander of the royal guards.
The situation has changed in this life. The princess did not die, but the prince consort died first.
That prince consort was colluding with the Northern Liao people. Did the Northern Liao people find any trace of him?
Will his death lead to a palace coup?
If it doesn't implicate her, Qin Wu doesn't care, but she can only be stable if the Great Zhou is stable...
Qin Wu did not get any useful information from Zhou Huzhu. After all, the emperor would never tell Zhou Huzhu about anything really important in front of him.
It seemed that she had to make other preparations quickly.
I wonder if the affairs of the Southern Xinjiang spies will affect the Southern Xinjiang envoys' visit to the Great Zhou for peace talks.
The Imperial Master did not show up to disturb her during the past two days, and Qin Wu did not have any powerful experts around her to help her find out the news from the palace and southern Xinjiang.
Speaking of which, without Yan Shiyi, the news that reached her ears was indeed outdated.
Even though she was rich, she bought the information from others. If they didn't tell her, she wouldn't know...
"Beauty, little cutie, little cutie, I'm peeing, I'm peeing..." A snow-white parrot with a cluster of tender green crown feathers on its head flew in from the next room, flapping its wings.
"Wow..." Zhou Huzhu stared at Xiaobai with wide eyes and was shocked.
A talking bird!
“It can talk!”
"Yes, its name is Xiaobai." Qin Wu said as she stood up. Xiao Nuonuo had fallen asleep just now and should be awake now. She had to go check on Xiao Nuonuo.
The only thing she doesn't dislike is the parrot that Xie Chenyan gave her.
"This is the first time I've seen a talking bird. It's amazing." Zhou Huzhu stared at Xiaobai on Qin Wu's shoulder with sparkling eyes.
"Fatty, I have a lot of abilities, don't underestimate me."
"You actually said I'm fat?" Zhou Huzhu was angry, pouting his round face, feeling extremely aggrieved.
"Fatty, Fatty..." The parrot, who had become a spirit, didn't know if it was doing it on purpose or just knew how to use these two words to describe Zhou Huzhu, but it kept calling out excitedly.
Qin Wu pinched Xiao Bai's mouth and apologized to Zhou Huzhu, "Princess, my parrot meant that you are blessed because you are plump, but it can only say these two words, don't be angry."
After a pause, she grabbed Xiaobai and handed it to Zhou Huzhu, "If you are still not satisfied, pluck two of its feathers to satisfy your hatred."
Zhou Huzhu flicked Xiaobai's head, and her anger instantly dissipated. "I know you are teasing me. My husband also said that I am fat and ugly, and other people also dislike me for being fat."
"I am self-aware."
The prince consort licked her and showed his deep love for her, but in fact she knew in her heart that the prince consort must have some ulterior motive, otherwise even if he became her prince consort, he would not pamper her and put her at the center of everything.
So when her husband betrayed her, she was only sad for a while, but she soon got over it.
"I really think the princess is blessed. Being fat is also a kind of beauty. The princess just hasn't met someone who appreciates you and hasn't seen your beauty yet." Qin Wu praised, "I think it's good for the princess. You don't have to feel inferior and anxious."
Regardless of whether it was a comfort or not, Zhou Huzhu was very happy in her heart. At least someone thought she was beautiful even if she was fat.
As expected, she has a very accurate eye for people.
Qin Wu is a good one.
"You think I'm beautiful because I'm fat? I think so too!"
Qin Wu smiled. She now liked the princess' cheerful and carefree personality more and more.
"Princess, please sit down for a while. I'll go check on little Nuonuo."
"I'll go with you. I haven't held little Nuonuo yet."
Qin Wu changed Xiao Nuonuo's diaper, and Zhou Huzhu was teasing her on the side. Xiaobai was given a lesson by Qin Wu after covering her mouth, so she didn't dare to call Zhou Huzhu "fat girl" anymore.
"Miss, there are two old women and two young girls outside who want to see you." Liu Zhi came over quickly to report, "They said they have something important to see you about, and they said it's about your mother."
"One of the old ladies said she knew the origin of the ring on her hand."
Liuzhi was a maid who had just been assigned to serve Qin Wu. She didn't know about the ring.
But the other party spoke very seriously and begged her, so she had no choice but to hurry in and inform Qin Wu.
If the other party had not mentioned the ring and said he wanted to tell her about her mother, Qin Wu would not have paid any attention. Who knows if it was Qi Xiuzhe or Qin Yinnuan.
But the other party said something about the ring.
Qin Wu lowered her head and turned the ring on her thumb.
After a moment's silence, Qin Wu chose to go out to meet them.
The four people standing at the door looked anxious and a little timid, and kept looking inside the door.
Finally they saw Qin Wu.
"Yes, yes, it's the young master." The leading old woman was over 80 years old and had a head full of silver hair.
When Granny Yu saw her, her eyes turned red. "She looks like our master..."
Wearing coarse cloth, Granny Yu clasped Qin Wu's arms with her hands as rough as dead tree bark, and said excitedly, "Old slave, I finally found the young master..."
"Who are you? Don't touch my young lady." Liu Zhi believed that no suspects should be allowed to hurt Qin Wu, so she quickly stepped forward and pulled the old woman away.
"Madam, do you still remember me?" A slightly older aunt smiled at Qin Wu at this time.
Only then did Qin Wu notice her.
She has a good memory. Besides, it has only been less than two months since the Chinese New Year, so Qin Wu naturally recognized her at a glance.
This was the boss she bought New Year gifts for Qiu Shuang, Han Shuang and others.
"Aunt, it's you."
"Madam, do you still remember me?" The aunt said with a smile, "Do you remember when I told you that the ring on your hand looked familiar?"
Qin Wu still has some impression.
At that time, she was staring at the ring in her hand. She said that the material of her ring was special and she seemed to be very interested in the material of the ring.
