Xue Hengzhao was imprisoned for one night and then returned to Furong Palace.
Youzhu and others all gathered around, all scared: "It's really scary!
Fortunately, the Queen was aware of the situation, otherwise you would have died unjustly! "
"Yes, fortunately, those who are clean will be cleansed themselves." Xue Hengzhao smiled, "I am also glad that it was a false alarm."
"We all thought at the time that this was too weird. We all made clothes in the same room and often mixed up.
Besides, before the clothes were sent, we also checked them carefully, for fear of leaving any needles on them. This person who framed me is so disgusting! "Tan Yue was indignant.
"I've made you sisters worried. I'll treat you later and treat it as a shock." Xue Hengzhao didn't want to say more about this matter.
"Look at what you said, we should be the one to calm you down." Fangdian said, "No matter what, you are lucky to be back well."
"Afterwards, take a good bath and wash away all the bad luck." Bishu also smiled and walked over and said, "The queen has asked you to come over. Come in quickly!"
Xue Heng responded and went in to see Concubine Fu.
After bowing, Concubine Fu asked her, "You didn't suffer, did you?"
"Tell the empress to take care of me. Nothing will happen to me." Xue Hengzhao replied with a smile.
"What's going on?" Concubine Fu asked, "I don't believe what's being said outside."
The results of the disposal could not withstand scrutiny in the first place, but they were just used to silence everyone.
Although Concubine Fu didn't like to argue, she was not a fool. She was obviously trying to frame Xue Hengzhao for this matter, but she just failed.
Xue Hengzhao then briefly told Liang Jing that the two maids on the Queen's side had deliberately framed him, and found out that Yao Wanyi was behind it.
"Because it concerns the Sixth Prince's Concubine, the Empress has to cover up for her. Therefore, we only tell the outside world that someone else did it, and even asked the slaves to keep it a secret." Xue Hengzhao said.
"So is this matter over?" Concubine Fu was worried, "Does the Queen doubt you? Or is she suspicious of me?"
If this matter is not investigated clearly and Xue Hengzhao is identified as the culprit, Concubine Fu will inevitably be implicated.
At the very least, he must be reprimanded and banned for three months for self-reflection.
Who told Xue Hengzhao to be the person in front of her?
"Don't worry, Your Majesty, this is not the case. Manager Liang is a sensible person and knows that the Sixth Prince's concubine is used to being overbearing. Besides, the Empress does not want to see the harem restless. After all, she is the Lord of the Sixth Palace.
No one in charge of the household wants to see the house in chaos. "
"It's so good, it's so good." Concubine Fu couldn't help but feel relieved after hearing this, "I'll be satisfied if we can live in peace with each other."
"Your Majesty, I may have something to say that you don't want to hear," Xue Hengzhao knew that there were some things that couldn't be concealed, "Even if we can have peace, it will only be a moment of peace."
Concubine Fu's expression changed, but she did not lose her composure: "Just say it."
"The most important thing for this slave to come back safely this time is that the Queen and others believe that our side is innocent.
I know that someone is instigating behind the scenes, trying to drag our palace into trouble. "Xue Hengzhao said, "The queen had already noticed that someone was doing something secretly, so this slave proved her innocence without much effort. "
"Who is it?" Concubine Fu asked.
"Your Majesty, do you still remember those two pots of peonies?"
"Is it Concubine Li?" Concubine Fu certainly couldn't forget.
The queen gave her two pots of peonies on her birthday, but those two pots of peonies were deliberately burned to death.
Later, Xue Hengzhao thought of a way to get the truth out of the palace maid Chun'er.
Knowing that Concubine Li bribed her, they hypothesized that the Empress knew that she did this in order to create discord between Concubine Fu and the Empress.
At that time, Concubine Fu did not understand why Concubine Li did this, and considering that it was not appropriate to confront her openly, she pretended not to know.
It had only been a few months before something like this happened again.
"Maybe, maybe not." Xue Hengzhao didn't say anything. "But I learned from Manager Liang that someone is trying to disrupt the government. They are also investigating, but they probably haven't found out who it is."
"Then have you..." Concubine Fu hesitated, "Have you revealed anything about Concubine Li to them?"
Xue Hengzhao shook his head: "I didn't tell you, my coming will involve the previous incident. We used that incident to consolidate our position in front of the Queen. If we break it, all the previous efforts will be wasted, and the gain will not be worth the loss."
"Is there anything else?" Concubine Fu urged when she saw that Xue Hengzhao had said it but was reluctant to continue.
"Empress, I have given you advice before," Xue Heng said and knelt down, "If you retreat without fighting, you will not be able to survive for long.
The Queen may believe you today, but she may not believe you tomorrow. Or maybe there will be another bloody storm like Tonghu Mountain in the palace, will the empress be sure to survive it safely?
When the last resort comes, the empress will have to fight even if she doesn’t. Therefore, the slave did not expose Concubine Li now, so that one day in the future when the snipe and the clam fight, the empress will have the opportunity to be the one who truly benefits. "
"You... why did you say such a thing again?" Concubine Fu's expression changed completely, "Do you know that if people listen to these words, you and I will die without a burial place!
Do you think that is something that can be accomplished by just a few words and a few people? Is it possible to be brave enough just by gritting your teeth and gritting your teeth? Concubine Fu shook her head frequently, "How many lives and blood is that?" Officials and people in the former dynasty and harem will be in turmoil.
Tens of thousands of soldiers died in Tonghu Mountain, and tens of thousands of ministers were executed and exiled.
Even you--"
Concubine Fu pointed at Xue Hengzhao and said in a sad voice: "You are a good noble girl, but you also entered the palace and became a maid?
There are even those who are not as good as you, and their lives are worse than death.
I don't want to cause the blood of innocent people to flow into a river for my own selfishness.
Your child is extremely smart, but not very charitable. You can't say such things again in the future, otherwise I won't be able to tolerate you here. "
"The empress is so compassionate that she cannot bear the loss of life. But what the world really needs is a mother like you," Xue Hengzhao took a deep breath and said, "Now the Yao family controls the government, forms cliques for personal gain, and is colluding.
If things continue like this, the country will no longer be a country. I hope your empress will think deeply. "
But Concubine Fu just shook her head and said, "Go out quickly and stop making such alarmist remarks."
Xue Hengzhao knew that such a big matter cannot be persuaded by just a few words.
She has a lot of patience, not to mention that there is always a shortage of people in the palace who add fuel to the flames.
When she came out, she just turned around the screen wall and almost bumped into someone.
Yu Guming was panting, with a panic look in his eyes.
He heard about Xue Hengzhao, and although he had taken his mother's warning to heart, he still couldn't let it go.
Xue Hengzhao just glanced at him lightly, nodded slightly and turned around.
He was left standing there alone, silently watching.
