Chapter 224 The Fake Concubine Fang
The old woman trembled slightly upon hearing Qin Jinzhi's words and quickly said, "This servant will take the little prince and the little princess back right away."
Consort Fang stood to the side, trembling with fear.
Qin Jinzhi sat down at the square table next to her. "Sit."
When Consort Fang saw the old nanny leave, her body trembled slightly as she walked forward.
Qin Jinzhi glanced at Consort Fang and said, "But a consort is enough to raise two children. If you keep pretending, you're going too far."
Consort Fang was taken aback, and then smiled gently as she looked at Qin Jinzhi, who had a calm expression.
"Nothing can be hidden from the princess."
Consort Fang turned to the palace servants and said, "You may all leave."
She walked over and sat down next to Qin Jinzhi.
"I come from a poor family and have no family background. Of course, I have to live cautiously in this cannibalistic palace. Please forgive me, Princess."
Qin Jinzhi chuckled softly, "What do you want me to do by sending those two little dumplings to find me?"
Consort Fang paused for a moment, then lowered her head and said, "I don't want Consort Xian to take my child away."
Qin Jinzhi stared at her fair face. "Then you should go find your grandfather."
Consort Fang shook her head. "His Majesty is in a high position but he has no choice in what he does. I don't want to put him in a difficult position. Consort Xian is backed by the Yang family. If His Majesty speaks up, Consort Xian will definitely resent it."
Qin Jinzhi tapped her finger on the table. "You are indeed deeply in love with your grandfather, so why do you think I would help you?"
Consort Fang looked up at Qin Jinzhi with a smile, "My Jingyi will never compete with the Crown Prince for that position."
Qin Jinzhi chuckled, then laughed incessantly.
"In this palace, fools really can't survive."
Qin Jinzhi got up and left, saying, "I told you, as long as your people can do what I ask them to do, I'll take care of your troubles."
Consort Fang's face lit up with joy, but she suddenly stopped just as Qin Jinzhi was about to leave.
"You once gave me a brocade pouch with a wonderful fragrance. Could you make me another one?"
Consort Fang was taken aback, then said, "Your Highness must have mistaken me for someone else. I have never given Your Highness a sachet."
Qin Jinzhi thought for a moment, "Maybe I really did remember wrong."
After turning around, Qin Jinzhi's eyes became completely devoid of warmth.
Her people investigated for so long, but they found nothing unusual about Consort Fang.
However, Liu Yiyi's medical skills are never wrong.
If what happened just now was merely a test, Qin Jinzhi is now absolutely certain that this Consort Fang is not Consort Fang!
This fake Consort Fang must have realized that Qin Jinzhi was testing her.
Therefore, Qin Jinzhi's words were also false.
However, Qin Jinzhi and Consort Fang did indeed share a sachet.
However, this sachet was given by Qin Jinzhi to Consort Fang, who was still Consort Fang at the time.
One day when she was a child, she was practicing holding her breath in the pool.
They happened to run into Fang Meiren, who was hiding and crying after being bullied by Shen Mingtang.
Thinking Qin Jinzhi had drowned, she jumped into the water herself without asking anyone to help.
When Qin Jinzhi was brought ashore, they found that she was conscious.
She hugged Qin Jinzhi and cried her heart out.
Little Golden Branch is not yet the complete villain.
If you don't want to owe her a favor, give her a sachet and tell her that if she needs anything, she can bring the sachet to her and she can help her once.
But all these years have passed, and Consort Fang has never contacted her again.
If it weren't for this fake Consort Fang showing up with her child, she would have almost forgotten about her.
Today, her visit to Fangfei Pavilion confirmed her even more that the two little people had been brought here before they had even woken up.
That biological mother doesn't love her own child.
There was not a trace of pity in the eyes of that fake Consort Fang.
Consort Fang watched Qin Jinzhi's departing figure and composed herself.
When the nanny returned, she asked, "Miss, what did Princess Jinzhi say to you?"
Consort Fang said expressionlessly, "Granny, I've told you many times, this is the palace. You can't call me Miss anymore, you have to call me Your Highness."
The old nanny immediately said, "This old servant will change it right away."
Consort Fang looked in the direction Qin Jinzhi had left. "This Princess Jinzhi is indeed unfathomable. She has begun to suspect me. Every word she said just now was a test."
The old woman said with some alarm, "You just took off your disguise like that?"
Consort Fang snorted coldly, "This princess is not so easy to fool. Pretending in front of her will probably backfire. She wants to tear off my mask, so I'll let her tear it off."
The old woman said after hearing this, "Your Highness is indeed wise."
Consort Fang looked at the old nanny and said, "Go and ask her carefully whether she has any dealings with this princess."
The old woman hesitated for a moment and said, "What if she doesn't tell us?"
Consort Fang sneered, "Your good sister isn't in your hands. They've depended on each other for so many years. Are you afraid she won't tell?"
After a moment of silence, the old woman said, "I'll go right away."
Consort Fang stood up. "By the way, have all the palace servants in Fangfei Pavilion been killed? They overheard my conversation with Qin Jinzhi."
The old woman nodded and withdrew.
The following day, everyone in Fangfei Pavilion was poisoned.
Consort Fang and her two princes and princesses are all in imminent danger.
The emperor was furious that such a heinous poisoning incident had occurred in the palace.
He ordered Huo Qing to investigate thoroughly.
When Qin Jinzhi received the news, one corner of her mouth curled up.
He's a ruthless person, after all.
That day, after court, she returned to the Thousand Birds Bureau.
As I passed by the martial arts arena, I saw a disheveled person sitting next to the ring.
Qin Jinzhi frowned and stepped forward.
The man turned around upon hearing footsteps.
Qin Jinzhi blinked in disbelief.
After a long pause, she finally spoke: "Wei Xueqi?"
Wei Xueqi wanted to laugh, but the injury on her lip hurt too much.
It's no wonder Qin Jinzhi didn't recognize her; her face was just too swollen.
What's wrong with you?
Wei Xueqi said somewhat indignantly, "Some people were talking bad about you, so I got into a fight with them?"
Qin Jinzhi smiled and squatted down next to her. "You lost?"
Wei Xueqi pouted, "I've only just started learning martial arts. I'll practice for a while longer before I fight them again!"
Qin Jinzhi nodded. "Your courage is commendable. When you see Liu Yiyi tonight, remember to ask her to prescribe some medicine for you. Be careful not to leave a scar on your face."
Wei Xueqi seemed hesitant to speak.
Seeing this, Qin Jinzhi asked, "Anything else to say?"
Wei Xueqi was still very indignant. "I think some of the noble ladies in Qianniao Division are no different from those self-righteous young ladies in the capital. You gave them the opportunity to get out of the mire, but they belittle you behind your back."
Qin Jinzhi looked at Wei Xueqi and saw that although her face was covered in injuries, her eyes had regained their vitality, making her seem like a living person.
She patted Wei Xueqi on the shoulder, "Since I promised your mother I'd protect you, I'll teach you a lesson today. Come with me."
Qin Jinzhi led Wei Xueqi to the main hall of the Thousand Birds Division.
"Summon the people who fought with Wei Xueqi today to come see me."
Before long, several Thousand Bird Guards arrived at the main hall with tense expressions.
Qin Jinzhi crossed her legs, propped her face up with one hand, and looked at the group.
Why did you fight with Wei Xueqi?
The group looked at each other, not daring to speak.
Qin Jinzhi's voice was indifferent.
"explain!"
With just one word, the group of people knelt down in panic.
"Please forgive me, Commander!"
