Chapter 115 Night Visit to Qiuyue Pavilion

Two dark figures opened the back door of Qiuyue Pavilion and slipped in.

Jiang Qiqiu, who was demoted to a commoner, was sleeping on a worn-out wooden bed.

She had been banished to the cold palace for more than half a year, and she had tried her best but failed to get out of it. She was already somewhat discouraged.

People are like this. As long as you give up the thought of leaving and settle down, you will be able to eat and sleep well.

When the two men in black came to Jiang Qiqiu's bedroom upstairs, she was still sleeping soundly.

"Sister, wake up!" Concubine Xian, who was wearing a black cloak, gently shook Jiang Qiqiu's shoulders.

"Ah..." Jiang Qiqiu was awakened and screamed, and Eunuch Yang quickly covered Jiang Qiqiu's mouth.

"Don't shout, Your Majesty. It's Concubine Xian who's here to see you."

Concubine Xian turned around, took out a tinderbox and lit the candlestick on the table.

Jiang Qiqiu calmed down, and with the help of the faint candlelight, she could see clearly that the person in front of her was Concubine Xian, and her heart finally settled down.

"Fangfei, you're here to see me!" Jiang Qiqiu burst into tears with excitement.

Concubine Xian's concubine's name is Niu Fangfei. For many years, Concubine Xian has always stood on Jiang Qiqiu's side and is Jiang Qiqiu's iron-clad lackey, so Jiang Qiqiu is used to calling her Fangfei affectionately.

"I thought you had forgotten me long ago after I entered this place. I didn't expect you still have a conscience."

Since Jiang Qiqiu was deposed, except for the Empress Dowager who secretly came twice, everyone else seemed to have forgotten Jiang Qiqiu and never showed up.

Jiang Qiqiu was naturally very moved to see Concubine Xian tonight.

"Sister, I've always wanted to come and see you, but your Qiuyue Pavilion is under strict supervision, so it's not easy to get in."

"Recently, a guard I know was transferred to guard Qiuyue Pavilion, so I was able to get in."

Concubine Xian said as she opened the food box herself, took out plates of delicious dishes and snacks, and placed them on the table.

"Sister, look, I also brought you your favorite food."

Jiang Qiqiu stared at the things on the table, and the usual pomp and circumstance of Concubine Gui was not there at all.

"Great, Fangfei is still thoughtful." Jiang Qiqiu said as she actually lifted the quilt and jumped off the bed.

"Ah, braised chicken legs, braised beef, braised shark fin, and peach blossom cakes, oh, they are all my favorites."

Before she finished her sentence, Jiang Qiqiu had already leaned over, picked up the chopsticks and stuffed the dishes into her mouth one by one, and her left hand did not forget to grab the big chicken leg and chew it fiercely.

"You don't know how bad the food here is, it's even worse than dog food, there is no meat for a month..."

Jiang Qiqiu spoke vaguely while chewing.

Concubine Xian glanced at her with disgust and pinched her handkerchief to cover her nose.

Jiang Qiqiu was really too smelly.

After Jiang Qiqiu had eaten her fill and burped loudly, Concubine Xian spoke: "Sister, you have been in this cold palace for several months. Have you figured it out?"

Jiang Qiqiu sat on a wooden stool and picked her teeth with her fingernails. She was stunned for a moment and said lightly: "What if I figured it out? What if I don't? It's of no use to me."

Concubine Xian's eyes turned: "Sister, why do you have to say such sad words. As long as there is still breath, there is still a chance to turn things around."

Jiang Qiqiu's eyes lit up: "Fangfei, what do you mean, do you have a way to save me?"

"Don't worry, sister. I have figured out a rough idea, but I haven't thought about the details yet." Concubine Xian deliberately kept the suspense.

Jiang Qiqiu stretched out her greasy hands and grabbed Concubine Xian's sleeves, begging, "Good sister, please tell me quickly."

Concubine Xian pinched Jiang Qiqiu's hand with a handkerchief, pulled out her sleeves, and said slowly, "Sister, first of all, you have to understand, who is the root cause of why you have become what you are now?" "Once

the root cause is found, the method will naturally come out."

After hearing this, Jiang Qiqiu's eyes sank, as if thinking about something; "The Queen, it's that bitch the Queen."

Concubine Xian stretched out her index finger, shook it in front of Jiang Qiqiu: "It's her, and it's not her."

"Why isn't it her! Ever since she gave birth to a daughter, she has been the emperor's exclusive favorite! Her luck has completely changed. But my aunt and I have started to have bad luck, and we are in a mess." Jiang Qiqiu's eyes were filled with hatred, and she gritted her teeth.

Concubine Xian said gently, "Don't worry, sister, just listen to me."

"Didn't you say that the Queen's luck has improved since the birth of Xia Miaoyuan?"

"And it's not just the Queen's luck, the Crown Prince and the Second Prince have all had good luck. What's even more strange is that even the Emperor's personality has changed a lot."

"Now, the Emperor doesn't care about the opinions of outsiders at all, and takes Xia Miaoyuan to court every now and then."

"Moreover, whenever the Emperor takes that girl to court, eight out of ten times he will issue unexpected decrees. Even the handling of government affairs has become decisive and ruthless."

"A few days ago, the news broke that Prince Jing had murdered a country doctor's family 18 years ago. He actually sentenced Prince Jing to death. This behavior is totally different from the submissive Emperor Mingxi."

Jiang Qiqiu's eyes widened in shock when she heard this: "How could this happen?"

She lowered her head and thought for a moment before speaking again: "When my third brother raped a palace maid, he was just as cold-blooded and ruthless."

"In the past, we aunt and niece would have just cried and begged for mercy and we would have gotten away with it."

Concubine Xian sat down next to Jiang Qiqiu and whispered, "When the emperor issued these decrees, the little girl was always by his side. So tell me, where is the root cause?"

Jiang Qiqiu suddenly said, "Are you saying that there is something wrong with Xia Miaoyuan?!"

Concubine Xian patted Jiang Qiqiu's shoulder with joy, "Yes, sister is really smart. I just suspect that there is something wrong with Xia Miaoyuan."

"All the changes started with the birth of this little girl."

"Recently, my sister has sent spies to check, and asked my father to observe carefully. They found that this girl is not an ordinary child. She must have some supernatural qualities."

Jiang Qiqiu said, "Then what should we do?"

"Should we just kill her?!" Jiang Qiqiu's eyes suddenly revealed murderous intent.

Concubine Xian shook her head and said, "Hey, sister, although this little girl is the key, killing people is the worst option after all."

"I haven't thought about the details yet, but I have an idea now. As for what to do specifically, we sisters should think about it again."

"As the saying goes, three cobblers are better than one. It's always faster for us sisters to think of

ideas together than for me to think of them alone." Jiang Qiqiu suddenly looked at Concubine Xian warily and said, "You mean you want to help me? But why do you want to help me?"

Concubine Xian smiled silently: "Sister, why are you confused? I am your person, and the Queen knows it. She probably knows about the things we did in the past."

"No matter how much I try to curry favor with her, it's of no use. She won't treat me sincerely. Sooner or later she will put me to death."

"Sister, why don't you try your best to rescue you and beat her down. Only when she falls, sister can have a place to stay."

Jiang Qiqiu was so excited that tears welled up in her eyes: "Fangfei, you are the best."
