Things have turned out this way.
Chen Changzai was devastated!
This is completely different from the plot I imagined!
What should have happened normally was that the Empress Dowager drank the holy water she was given.
They immediately became energetic and lively.
The Emperor was overjoyed.
He publicly announced that she would be bestowed the title of Consort Chen!
at the same time.
The Empress Dowager was grateful for her kindness and bestowed upon her great rewards and power in the inner palace.
It might not work out.
They will be qualified to assist in managing the sixth house.
That would truly be an unparalleled honor.
But now.
Her fate.
They were actually going to have their entire family executed!
This is even more tragic than being chopped into mincemeat!
Chen Changda burst into tears.
"Your Majesty, this matter is entirely my fault!"
"It has absolutely nothing to do with my family!"
"Please, Your Majesty, forgive my family!"
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have the face to face my family even if I went to the King of Hell!"
Ye Ling said coldly.
"Since you know you're too ashamed to face your family, why don't you study more!"
"They wouldn't be fooled by superstitious methods!"
"The Empress Dowager is now out of danger, and my execution of her entire clan is already a great act of mercy!"
"Otherwise, I will exterminate your entire clan!"
Chen Changzai trembled as he listened.
turn out to be.
Is executing nine generations of a family already an immense act of grace?
Thinking about this...
Chen Changzai had no desire to plead for him anymore.
Just obediently accept the execution of your entire family.
Chen Changzai got the fate she deserved.
However, Consort Qing was not happy.
Chen Chang is that idiot.
I originally thought I could use someone else to do my dirty work.
But I never expected it.
She's such a useless person.
At the last moment, the emperor actually turned the tables!
Why does the Emperor possess a elixir of life?!
Could it help the Empress Dowager escape this calamity?!
Consort Qing clenched her hands into fists.
What should I do?
How can I kill the Empress Dowager without making a sound?
After a whole night of fuss.
The Empress Dowager slowly fell asleep in the latter half of the night.
The emperor also allowed the concubines to return to their respective palaces.
Xu Qingzhi and Consort Jin were on their way back together.
Xu Qingzhi was deep in thought.
"Sister Xu, what are you thinking about?"
Xu Qingzhi said with a frown.
"What Chen Chang is doing is completely unknown to anyone else in the palace!"
"Or did someone see it but choose to keep it a secret?"
Consort Jin was taken aback.
"What Sister Xu means is—"
"This is just my speculation, and it's not certain yet! Perhaps I'm overthinking it?"
"In this harem, everyone knows that as long as you curry favor with the Empress Dowager, you can rise rapidly in rank."
That's not necessarily true!
[Aunt Xu probably doesn't know how much Consort Qing wishes for the Empress Dowager's death, deep within this palace!]
Xu Qingzhi was taken aback.
Consort Qing?
That Qingfei, who was usually unassuming and never fought for anything?
Why did she want the Empress Dowager to die?
Xu Qingzhi quickly sent people to investigate.
The details of what happened were quickly learned.
"It turns out that before entering the palace, Consort Qing and a man were in love with each other."
"Later, it was the Empress Dowager who ordered Consort Qing to enter the palace, and Consort Qing was forced to separate from Qingzhu."
"Later, Qingzhu was also appointed by the Empress Dowager to go to the battlefield, but what he returned was his corpse."
Consort Jin thought for a moment.
ask.
"Sister Xu, do you think Consort Qing would choose to murder the Empress Dowager to avenge Qingzhu?"
Xu Qingzhi frowned.
"I cannot determine that!"
"But one thing is certain!"
"Consort Qing has a strong and resolute character, and she is also very loyal and affectionate."
"If someone truly killed someone she cared about, I'm afraid—"
"However, I still hope that things will not be as I think!"
"Otherwise, all of this would be too terrible!"
"I do not want her to do anything wrong."
"She shouldn't have become a victim of palace intrigue."
"Let me give her a try."
"Um!"
the next day.
Xu Qingzhi then summoned Consort Qing to Huafeng Palace.
The Imperial Noble Consort suddenly invited her to sit down for a while.
It's impossible for Consort Qing to have no suspicions.
Someone as exceptionally intelligent as the Imperial Noble Consort.
They must have figured something out.
I wanted to test her.
Consort Qing had no intention of hiding it.
How long can they keep it a secret?
She was no stranger to the Imperial Noble Consort's methods.
No matter how deeply a secret is hidden, the Imperial Noble Consort can uncover it!
then.
After arriving at Huafeng Palace.
When Xu Qingzhi said that among the concubines who prayed for the Empress Dowager last night, Consort Qing was the most composed one.
Consort Qing said it casually.
"Your Highness, please ask directly if you have something to say!"
"Does the Imperial Noble Consort want to know if my sister knows what Consort Chen has done?"
Xu Qingzhi nodded.
"Talking to someone as smart as my sister is always much easier!"
"That's right, I really want to know the truth."
"Since the Imperial Noble Consort has asked, how could I, my sister, dare not answer!"
"That's right, just as the Imperial Noble Consort thought!"
"My sister saw everything, but she didn't say anything!"
"As for the purpose, my sister can speak frankly."
“I, Su Haiqing, want the Empress Dowager dead.”
Xu Qingzhi frowned.
Fortunately, all the servants were dismissed.
Otherwise, if this gets out...
