Chapter 86 Well done, reward!
"Shut up!" Jin Zhi was so disappointed. "Do you know how important this heir is to Darong? If anything happens to the heir, the Emperor and the Queen Mother will definitely investigate thoroughly. Do you think you can really hide it? By then, not to mention me, even the entire Jin family won't be able to protect you!"
Jin Zhi knows Jin Weige too well.
Although she is a little clever, that's all she can do. He is cunning, but not deep enough.
Maybe it can be barely seen in this palace, but in the face of absolute strength and detailed investigation, it will definitely be exposed!
The emperor and the empress dowager have different powers, but they will definitely work together on this matter!
Jin Weige bit her lip, tears falling uncontrollably. Her hard work was ruined, and she was beaten. It was so unfair. "Jin Zhi, how dare you! I am the emperor's concubine, and you, a subject, dare to hit me! Kneel down! Kneel down for me!"
Jin Zhi was unmoved. "Wei Ge, stop making trouble, okay? I have already asked to go to Southern Xinjiang, but the emperor needs to think about it. Maybe I will leave soon. You must remember, you must not do anything to Zhaopin, otherwise you will implicate the entire Jin family."
Jin Weige was about to speak, but her eyes inadvertently swept to his waist.
A white purse was half exposed, with the rest hidden under the belt.
She pulled it off suddenly, and at a glance she knew it was Bai Wutong's thing.
At that time, she picked up a purse in the Imperial Garden, and asked Jiayue, who was still alive at the time, to look for it everywhere. Therefore, she has some understanding of each person's needlework and embroidery patterns.
"What is this? Brother, tell me, what is this?"
Jin Zhi reached out to take it, but she dodged him. "This was embroidered by Concubine Zhao, right? How come you have Concubine Zhao's purse, and you wear it on your body every day?"
The more Jin Weige spoke, the more frightened he became. The color drained from his face and he backed away repeatedly.
Xiyue, who was in charge of keeping watch, ran over and supported her, "My Lady, are you okay?"
"Get lost! Go back and keep watching!"
Xiyue agreed and trotted back, looking around, afraid that someone would pass by.
Jin Weige's hands couldn't stop shaking, "You...you really had an affair with Concubine Zhao?"
"No." Jin Zhi found an opportunity, took back the purse, and stuffed it back into his sleeve pocket. "I saved Concubine Zhao in the Huguo Temple, and this is her thank-you gift to me."
"A purse as a thank-you gift? You accepted it? And you wear it every day?" Jin Weige didn't believe him at all. Tears welled up in her eyes. Fear, anger, and all kinds of emotions surrounded her, making it difficult for her to breathe.
His brother was actually having an affair with the emperor's concubine. If the emperor really found out, it would be a big trouble!
She rushed over like crazy, "Give me the purse, give it to me quickly!"
"Go and destroy it quickly. This thing must be destroyed. It cannot be left here!"
Jin Zhi dodged and said, "Don't be so crazy. It's just a purse. I will take care of it. Please keep your voice down. Are you afraid that others can't hear you?"
In fact, he also felt some resentment in his heart.
If Jin Weige hadn't asked him to assassinate Bai Wutong, how could he have been tempted?
She was the one who planted the snow lotus seeds, and she was also the one who carried out the assassination yesterday.
If Jin Weige had behaved himself and not done such a rebellious thing, the situation today would never have happened.
One wrong step, all wrong!
Seeing that she was about to go crazy, Jin Zhi called Xiyue and said, "Take your queen back quickly and let her calm down. When I go to southern Xinjiang to report on my work, the rumors will naturally die down. It's not a big problem."
"Yes." Xiyue stepped forward and whispered, "My queen, let's go."
Jin Weige wanted to say something, but Jin Zhi had already left quickly.
She collapsed weakly on Xiyue and beat her chest hard, "What sin have I committed!"
"Your Highness, please don't be angry. Master Jin will definitely take care of it."
Behind the rockery not far away.
A little palace maid popped her head out and looked at the two people leaving with a look of horror on her face.
Lord Jin actually got hold of Concubine Zhao's purse. I'm afraid he has something fishy going on!
No, she must go back and tell the queen as soon as possible.
Fengyi Palace.
The little maid ran in quickly, "Empress!"
The maid stepped forward to stop them, "What's wrong with making so much noise?"
The little maid hurriedly bowed, "Mammy, I have something important to tell you, Your Majesty. I found evidence that Concubine Zhao really did have an affair with Master Jin!"
"What?" The nanny didn't dare to delay and immediately brought her in.
The queen leaned lazily on the couch. Due to her poor health, she seldom went out on weekdays, especially in the cold winter.
The little palace maid knelt on the ground and reported word for word what she had just seen and heard, describing it vividly.
"That Concubine Jin was like a madman trying to grab the purse, but Lord Jin refused to give it to her and even said he would take care of it. It was clear that he was going to keep it."
The queen raised her red lips, "I didn't expect to have such a harvest. Well done, reward."
The nanny immediately grabbed a handful of gold leaves.
The little maid happily took it and said, "Thank you, Queen, for the reward."
"I think you are quite smart, so you should stay in the palace from now on."
"Thank you, Her Majesty." The little palace maid kowtowed. She didn't expect that she would be promoted to a first-class palace maid by accident. Her life would be better in the future.
The queen was in a very good mood, and she felt that her body was not so heavy anymore. She happily picked up a piece of cake and put it into her mouth. "I just wanted to spread some rumors to make the emperor suspicious. I didn't expect it to be true."
Although she noticed it yesterday, she couldn't guarantee that it was Jin Zhi's unrequited love.
Unexpectedly, these two people had private contact, so this time it can be confirmed.
With the previous experience of the opera troupe, if he were to act ruthlessly again, the emperor would surely be furious!
By then, Jin Zhi will not be taken seriously, and the power of the Jin family will be reduced by at least half. As for Princess Jin, without her strong maternal family and being involved in this matter, she will definitely no longer be favored. From now on, whenever the emperor sees her, he will think of the adultery between her brother and the concubine.
As for the pregnant Concubine Zhao, even if the child in her belly is really the emperor's, she will no longer be treated as highly as she is now. Even if the royal heir could be born, he would definitely not be trained as the legitimate successor, let alone be made the crown prince.
The princes whose identities were questionable in every dynasty all ended up in a bad way.
The queen chuckled happily, "Come here, I'm in a good mood today, please prepare more lunch."
The nanny smiled and replied, "Your Majesty, this is truly a blessing in disguise. Even if Concubine Zhao is pregnant, it still won't threaten your position as queen."
"No, this won't do. We can't delay this matter. We must confirm the relationship between the two as soon as possible. Jin Zhi is a smart man. If we delay, maybe the emperor will no longer be suspicious."
She waved and the nanny came over immediately.
The queen whispered in her ear, "Go and do something for me. Tonight..."
