Emperor Yongning did not want to face Concubine Jiang like this. The disappointment, resentment and even silence in her eyes made him feel extremely strange.
For some reason, he had a ridiculous feeling in his heart, as if a canary that had been carefully raised was about to leave him.
He suddenly felt a little flustered and hurriedly looked away, saying coldly: "I will investigate this matter clearly! Before that, just reflect on it in Fuqing Palace!"
After that, he turned around and walked away.
Concubine Tao Xian looked at his hurried away figure in shock, not quite understanding what was happening now.
The emperor is like this...can you say he ran away in despair?
Why did Jiang Zhao burst into tears so quickly that the emperor was so scared that he wanted to run away?
She turned around to say something to Concubine Jiang, but was stunned when she saw Concubine Jiang's actions.
Concubine Jiang's tears immediately stopped, and she immediately took the brocade handkerchief handed over by Aunt Huinan, quickly wiped away her tears, then sat back on the chair and let out a long sigh of relief: "I am so exhausted! Acting is really not easy! From now on, I will never disdain the troupe for their ugly performances."
"Your Majesty, thank you for your hard work. This servant feels sad when you see him." Aunt Huinan stepped forward and rubbed Jiang Gui's shoulders while saying.
Concubine Jiang half-closed her eyes and occasionally let out a soft hum or two, which showed that Aunt Huinan's strength was just right.
Concubine Tao Xian stared at the actions of the master and servant in disbelief: Is Jiang Zhao really acting just now? Are those all fake?
At this time, Concubine Jiang raised her eyelids and looked at her, saying, "Concubine Xian, sit down, why are you standing?"
Concubine Tao Xian was confused and subconsciously sat down, looking at Concubine Jiang's red eyes that were obviously crying hard, but she didn't know what to say.
The heavy and depressing sadness, disappointment and self-doubt that makes people feel uncomfortable, are all Jiang Zhao pretending?
However, Jiang Zhao acted so sincerely that she felt the same way - she believed that the emperor also felt it, otherwise he would not have run away.
She looked intently at Jiang Zhao, this extremely beautiful woman in front of her that made people feel pity...
very scary!
Concubine Jiang seemed to be really tired. She ignored Concubine Tao Xian and half-closed her eyes again.
For a moment, the only sound in the inner hall of Fuqing Palace was Aunt Huinan's massage.
Concubine Tao Xian looked at all this and couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that I have really seen too little of the world? Why can Jiang Zhao still act like nothing is wrong after going through these things?
For the first time in her life, she had deep doubts about herself.
"Jiang... Noble Concubine, aren't you afraid that the Emperor is walking away?" Concubine Tao Xian couldn't help but ask.
Concubine Jiang opened her eyes and asked, "What are you afraid of?"
Concubine Tao Xian couldn't accept these words.
What are you afraid of? In her opinion, there were too many things that Jiang Zhao could be afraid of.
Afraid of falling out of favor, afraid of being questioned by the emperor, afraid of bringing down the Jiang family... Jiang Zhao really never thought about or feared these?
She had countless questions in her mind, but she didn't know where to start.
Seeing this, Concubine Jiang waved her hand, signaling Aunt Huinan to stop, and said quietly: "You all should step back. I have something to say to Concubine Xian."
Hearing these words, Concubine Tao Xian also nodded to Aunt Xuecai she brought and motioned for her to leave as well.
When there were only two of them left in the inner hall, Concubine Tao Xian was the first to ask: "Last night, you went to Cining Palace? What did you do?"
The question that had been lingering in her mind last night was only asked now.
Concubine Jiang nodded and admitted readily: "Yes, I went outside Cining Palace and wrote a letter to ask the Queen Mother to come out of Cining Palace. She also said that if the Queen Mother protected Xiao Jiu, then This will allow the Queen Mother to fulfill her long-cherished wish."
At this moment, she was too lazy to call herself "I". She felt tired and it would be good to say one less word.
"Do you know the Queen Mother's long-cherished wish?" Tao Xianfei followed her words and asked, "Why do you
Want to do this? "
Concubine Jiang shook her head and said, "How did I know about the Queen Mother's long-cherished wish? I just wrote it down so casually."
It is not difficult to guess that the Queen Mother lives in Cining Palace and cannot leave, so there must be something she cannot let go of.
This is the first half of the answer to Concubine Tao Xian. As for the second half...
"Ha." Concubine Jiang was obviously smiling, but there was a trace of loneliness on her beautiful face: "Of course I did this for Xiaojiu. Have you forgotten? I want to avenge Xiaojiu. Who makes Xiaojiu feel uncomfortable? I want to make it even more uncomfortable!"
"..." Concubine Tao Xian paused for a moment, "Do you still think that the assassination in Dingchang was done by the emperor?"
Concubine Jiang twitched her lips, neither admitting nor denying.
"But if you did this, deliberately appeared in Cining Palace, and deliberately left such a letter, which aroused the emperor's suspicion and anger, what purpose could you achieve?" Concubine Tao Xian asked, going straight to the most critical place. .
By doing this, Jiang Zhao puts herself in a dangerous situation where she may fall out of favor at any time. What are the benefits of this? What harm will it do to the emperor?
Jiang Zhao was good at calculating profits, and she didn't believe that he would do something that would not harm the enemy or benefit himself.
Jiang Zhao looked at her and suddenly asked: "Concubine Xian, do you know why the emperor doesn't want me to confront the person who informed me?"
Concubine Tao Xian naturally shook her head: she didn't know.
"That's because... the person who reported me was Empress Xue of Kunning Palace." Concubine Jiang said lightly, casually smashing down a huge boulder.
Concubine Tao Xian was stunned by the huge stone and said in shock: "Queen Xue? What does this have to do with Queen Xue?"
Looking at Concubine Tao Xian who had not yet come to her senses, Concubine Jiang patiently explained: "Before this, I went to Kunning Palace to spread some rumors and deliberately lured Empress Xue there. Empress Xue saw me with her own eyes, so she couldn't help but If you make a mistake, this matter will be brought to the attention of the emperor."
Queen Xue is not someone who can be fooled. Only if she goes to Cining Palace in person, and only if Queen Xue sees her with her own eyes, can the next thing be possible.
Sure enough, after Queen Xue confirmed that it was her, she reported her without hesitation.
Concubine Jiang pulled a soft pillow to lean on and said slowly: "The emperor is so angry that he even brought Fengchen guards here to guard him. This can only mean one thing, that is, the emperor trusts Queen Xue...".
"Wait..." Concubine Tao Xian interrupted her, "Doesn't this mean that the emperor cares about Cining Palace, and you have touched his bottom line?"
Concubine Jiang looked at her lovingly and deeply felt why Tao Jingyuan was so worried about her granddaughter.
"It seems like this, but in fact it is not. Even if the emperor cares about Cining Palace, this is the emperor's bottom line, but this is an internal matter. And the root of this matter is that the emperor trusts Queen Xue." Jiang Guifei replied, emphasizing He said: "Incredible trust!"
This trust far exceeded the emperor's love for her, Concubine Jiang.
Therefore, the emperor came to Fuqing Palace in anger to question the crime.
Her first purpose was to test the emperor's true attitude towards Queen Xue, and she had already tested it out.
As for the second purpose...
"So, Tao Shu, do you understand now? What kind of person is the emperor?"
"Second update!"
