Chapter 63: I was deceived by her!
Xue regretted it very much. If she had listened to Xiao Xixi, she would not have crossed the bridge.
But on second thought, perhaps it was because she met Xiao Xixi that she was doomed to misfortune and suffered this unexpected disaster.
After all, nothing had happened in the general's mansion for more than ten years. But on the second day after she brought her little daughter to see Xiao Xixi, the mother and daughter fell into the river and almost lost their lives.
Xue didn't believe that there were such coincidences in the world.
She remembered what the wandering Taoist priest said sixteen years ago.
He said that Xiao Xixi was a born evil star who specifically brought bad luck to her relatives. Anyone who was related to her by blood would be killed by her.
If you don't want to be killed by her, stay away from her.
Xue thought that what the Taoist said was right. She fell into the river and almost drowned just because she met Xiao Xixi once.
The more she thought about it, the more frightened she became, and she decided to stay away from that evil spirit in the future.
The news that the prince had spent two consecutive nights in Qingge Palace quickly spread throughout the Eastern Palace.
Inside the Jinfeng Palace, Concubine Li swept the medicine in front of her to the ground, gritting her teeth in hatred.
"I originally thought that Xiao Liang Di was a fool and that I could make her behave well by just coaxing her. I didn't expect that this woman's mind was even deeper than that of Concubine Bai. She must have pretended to be so stupid before! I was deceived, the prince was deceived, and everyone was deceived by her!"
Caiyun hurriedly advised, "Don't be angry, Madam. Xiao Liangdi is only in favor temporarily. Let's wait and see. Sooner or later, she will be in trouble!"
Concubine Li is so angry now, how can she listen to these words?
With red eyes, she said, "I can't wait any longer. I can't let Xiao Liang Di continue to be favored. This woman is very sinister. I must step on her as soon as possible!"
"My lady, what do you want to do?"
"Go call Lady Zhao and tell her I have something to discuss with her."
The prince only told her not to leave the Golden Wind Hall until she finished copying the Buddhist scriptures, but he did not say that the palace maids around her could not leave, nor did he say that she was not allowed to invite other people into the Golden Wind Hall.
Caiyun walked out in a hurry.
Concubine Zhao also entered the Eastern Palace last year. She is seventeen years old this year. She has bright eyes and white teeth, and is good at singing and dancing. She is a rare and beautiful lady.
But because she was too timid and her father was only a seventh-rank official, she was always very careful in what she did and said for fear of offending others, which resulted in her low presence in the Eastern Palace.
Upon learning that Concubine Li wanted to see her about something, Concubine Zhao felt a little uneasy, but she did not dare to delay and immediately followed Caiyun to the Jinfeng Palace.
The medicine that was originally swept to the ground by Concubine Li has been cleaned up.
Concubine Li had also calmed down and was now leaning on the couch. Her face was pale and she looked quite weak.
Lady Zhao knelt down respectfully and saluted.
Concubine Li waved at her and said, "Sisters don't need to be polite. Come and sit down, sister. We haven't had a private conversation like this for a long time."
Lady Zhao moved over carefully, lifted her skirt, and sat down beside the couch.
Concubine Li took her hand, looked her up and down, and kept praising her: "I haven't seen you for a few days. You have become more beautiful. It's just that your makeup is too plain, and you don't look energetic enough. Caiyun, go and get the jewelry box on the dressing table."
Caiyun quickly brought a heavy and exquisite wooden box.
Concubine Li casually opened the lid, revealing the glittering jewelry inside.
She said generously, "Sister, take a look here, is there anything you like?"
