The eunuch's announcement voice came from outside the palace: "Her Royal Highness Shu Gui Fei has arrived."

  Dai Man stood outside and hurriedly made a bow "Your humble servant greets Her Highness Shu Gui Fei"

  "Get up." Shu Gui Fei did not intend to make things difficult for her, even though she had little interaction with Su Jinglian, but she also knew that this palace maid was the senior palace maid by her side and often accompanied her on outings.

  A look of concern appeared on his face "Is your wife all right? Can you tell what's going on?"

  "Dai Man reported: 'The Empress Dowager has taken a fright and is currently resting in her inner chambers, unable to come out to pay respects to Your Highness. I hope that Your Highness will not take offense.'"

  "It's not like I'm that kind of petty person," Qiao Jing said, following her words without discussing the truth or falsehood behind them.

  Dai Man smiled and said, "Several masters are waiting in the side hall at this moment. The specific situation still needs to be asked by Shu Guifei Niangniang after a while. At that time, it happened too quickly, and my family's Niangniang is not particularly clear either."

  Qiao Jing nodded "Since that's the case, I'll go and understand the specific situation at that time first"

  It's clear that they don't want to inform her of the actual situation. Since Qiao Jingyu had decided to put her bet on Su Jingzhen from the start, she naturally wouldn't offend her for the sake of so-called truth now.

  She had already heard a rough account of the situation from the palace maid on her way here, but what really happened was probably biased and even the three people in the side hall might not understand.

  Only the individual knows what is true and false in their heart

  And she only needs to deal with the side of them they are willing to let her see.

  "Escorting Imperial Noble Consort Shu"

  "Did the three sisters see clearly what happened at that time?" Qiao Jingxuan asked in a low voice after the courtesy of entering and sitting down.

  Xiang Yuyou and the other two exchanged a glance, her status being the highest, naturally she should speak first. However, since they just entered the Guan Yin Palace, there were eunuchs and palace maids serving them all along, so even if they wanted to collude with each other, it was not possible.

  If they had their way, it would be best if Du Wanxiang really succeeded. As for what kind of ending Du Wanxiang would get and how much Su Jingzhu would suffer afterwards, these were none of their concern.

  But Du Wanxian didn't succeed and Su Jingzhen wasn't hurt either. The three of them ended up in this predicament instead.

  Only having a heart of malice but no action of malice may finally become the scapegoat for being framed, not everyone is willing to be.

  "After thinking for a moment, she replied: 'When the imperial concubines and others were standing in front of Zhen Shou's carriage, Du Gui Ren was standing in the middle. When they gave way, they all went to the left. Zhen Shou's carriage passed by the imperial concubines and others with their heads bowed in respect. As for what exactly happened, the imperial concubines didn't see it very clearly.'"

  Qiao Jing nodded and shifted her gaze to the other two "What about you?"

  Ning Shunyi bowed and said, "The concubines and others have gone to see the Empress Dowager. There was a distance between them and Du Guiren, with sedan chairs blocking their view, so they couldn't see very clearly. They only knew that before the concubines left, it seemed like Du Guiren had done something to offend Zhen Xiurong."

  "Oh, I wonder what's going on"

  "Concubine didn't know, just waiting for Concubine and others to arrive before Zhenxiu let Du Guiren get up. Perhaps it was because she had done something wrong." Ning Shunyi's voice became smaller and smaller as she spoke, almost inaudible, but the more she spoke like this, the more it made people's imagination run wild.

  "She's just a little noble, if she has offended Zhen Xiurong, it is only right that she should be punished." said Zong Zhengjin, entering from outside with a solemn expression.

  Several people hastily stood up and said "Your Majesty's concubines pay their respects"

  "Get up." Zong Zhengjin walked over and sat down "Do you know what happened?"

  Shu Gui Fei adjusted her words and said, "To answer Your Majesty, it seems that Du Gui Ren wanted to harm Zhen's sister and was caught red-handed, but the specific situation still needs to be asked from the two sisters."

  Zong Zhengjin let out a cold snort "Since she wants to harm the crown prince, then directly throw her into the Cold Palace"

  "The slave and servant pay respects to Your Majesty" Yu heard Yao walk in and salute

  Zong Zhengjin recognized her as a very useful palace maid who often followed Su Jing to the Zixun Hall. "How is your mistress?"

  "Her Majesty the Queen Mother is currently in good health."

  "Never mind, I'll go see her." Zong Zhengjin didn't wait for her to finish speaking and directly interrupted. "Let you handle this first, thoroughly interrogate and torture if necessary, just don't let Guan Yu Palace be stained with blood."

  "The concubine obeys the imperial edict" Shu Gui Fei rose and paid her respects

  She was extremely bitter in her heart, even though she had long known that she treated him differently, but with this strength, it's not just different, it's clearly placed in her heart and protected at the tip of her heart.

  Implicitly and explicitly, it's all about maintaining her favor, which also extends to her palace maids who receive extra special treatment.

  Xiang Yu and others were also shocked in their hearts. Just now, if they hadn't been interrupted, the emperor might have thought of not asking about the specific truth and directly sending people to the cold palace for exile.

  "A few sisters had better cooperate with Ben Gong, otherwise, if something really happens, don't blame Ben Gong." Qiao Jingxuan coldly snorted and sternly said.

  Seeing the three of them showing fear on their faces, she made a signal with her eyes: "First bring the person to me."

  "Your Majesty" Su Jingyi saw him come in and wanted to get up but was pressed down by him.

  "How are you?" Zong Zhengjin had just heard that she was fine, but he couldn't help worrying in his heart until he saw her now and slightly felt at ease.

  Su Jing climbed into his arms and revealed a bright smile "I'm very good"

  Zong Zhengjin's mouth corners rose "Not planning on telling me what really happened"

  Just now she sent a palace maid to the side hall, he knew she had something to say to him, otherwise she wouldn't have sent someone over at that time and wouldn't have sent someone who was listening to Yao.

  Su Jingxi smiled and said, "Your Majesty and I are indeed in perfect harmony, truly a meeting of minds."

  Zong Zhengjin was teased by her and pinched her nose "You always talk too much"

  Su Jing ignored his teasing and took out a note from the side table and handed it to him "Your Majesty, take a look"

  Zong Zhengjin glanced at the few words above and fell silent, gazing at her lightly.

  Su Jing's scalp felt numb. "Wasn't it when she handed this note to Ting Yao that Ting Yao smelled an unusual fragrance on her body, which led to what happened later?"

  Zong Zhengjin sneered, "I didn't know that the palace maid by Hui'er's side had such great abilities."

  "The Emperor" Su Jing wrapped her arms around his neck, trying to coax and deceive him.

  Zong Zhengjin pinched her waist, wanting to pull her down from his body, but he didn't dare use too much force, fearing that if he lost control for a moment, he would hurt her. He had always known how delicate she was.

  But it was precisely because of his fear that she continued to sit on him and hold him even tighter.

  "Come down" lightly opened thin lips coldly spat out two words

  Su Jing hugged his neck and shook her head violently "Don't"

  She sighed in her heart, knowing that if this hurdle couldn't be overcome, the two of them would definitely drift apart. She had no choice but to speak up and explain, "Alright, alright, I'm speaking, isn't that enough? Your Majesty, don't you even give me a chance to explain? Even if it's a matter of life and death, shouldn't you at least listen?"

  "Zong Zhengjin was impatient with her dragging on those irrelevant things, especially disliked her mentioning that word."

  Su Jingxi met his gaze with sincerity in her eyes "Xiang Yu has been serving me since she was a child, and our bond is the deepest of course, there's also Xiang Qin but compared to the two of them, Xiang Yu is more formidable I'll naturally bring the more formidable one into the palace if I have the chance"

  Zong Zhengjin actually could have guessed that it was because of this reason. He didn't really blame her, as this is a normal human situation and he had known for a long time that Xiang understood medicine.

  At this time, he grasped it tightly and didn't know what he was doing it for either.

  "How is her medical skill?"

  Su Jing shook her head, emphasizing as usual: "I don't know either, but I think it's very fierce, so I plan to take her wherever I go."

  Zong Zhengjin was amused by her "So you want to bring her into the palace with you"

  "Of course, if I hadn't entered the palace and gotten married later, I would have brought her along too." Su Jing said in agreement, not finding anything wrong with it.

  "So you plan to give her to your husband as your maid?"

  Su Jing was taken aback and didn't quite understand his logic, staring at him in confusion.

  Zong Zhengjin didn't explain and directly said "Do you plan to give her to me?"

  Su Jing saw his serious face and her heart suddenly became flustered. If he had another woman, then so be it. But if this person was listening to Yao, someone by her side, Su Jing really felt extremely disgusted.

  When one is in a bad mood, their complexion naturally suffers as well. "The Emperor has taken a liking to her."

  Zong Zhengjin saw that she was asking for his opinion, seemingly really having such intentions. His temper also came up and his tone became even colder: "Who I fancy is still something that needs to be asked of you?"

  Su Jing nodded silently, forcing back her tears "Your Majesty is right"

  "You" Zong Zhengjin vaguely felt that something was wrong, but didn't know where the problem lay. He wanted to explain a few sentences, but after her tone passed, his mood got worse and he completely lost the meaning of explanation.

  "If Your Majesty has taken a liking to someone else, I, as your concubine, will not say anything more. However, if this person is beside me, I absolutely will not agree." Her tone was firm and her gaze straightforward as she faced him.

  "Say it again."

  Even now, does she still see him in this way?

  Su Jing pursed her lips and said in a hard voice, "Don't listen to Yao."

  "You say it's not going to work, then it's not going to work. I want to do what I want, and it's none of your business to give opinions." Zong Zhengjin said coldly. Baidu or search for it and you can find this site.
