Empress Dowager + Spoiler

"Your Majesty..." Princess Mingshao really panicked now.

Zhao Sansi waved his hand, and Li Zhongxian immediately asked the guards to come in and take Princess Mingshao down.

As soon as Princess Mingshao left, Lin Wanqing immediately wiped away the tears on her face, restrained her emotions, kowtowed respectfully to Zhao Sansi and said, "Your Majesty is wise."

Zhao Sansi was very impressed with Lin Wanqing's freely retractable acting skills. Except for Huarong and Yunshang who were waiting inside, everyone stepped back. When she picked up the tea, she asked Huarong to pour a cup for Lin Wanqing.

"Miss San is really a wonderful person."

Lin Wanqing pursed her lips and smiled, "Thanks to the emperor's insightful eyes for recognizing wonderful people."

Zhao Sansi also smiled, and soon turned cold again, "However, I don't understand what Miss San has in mind."

Lin Wanqing calmly said, "If my daughter says that she belongs to Mrs. Gu, is the emperor still afraid that my daughter has ulterior motives?"

Zhao Sansi smiled, picked up the teacup, took a sip, and didn't say much.

Lin Wanqing lowered her eyes, saying that the emperor was ruthless, but she was afraid that no one would see it.

Before leaving, Lin Wanqing suddenly seemed to remember something, and looked back at Zhao Sansi, "Your Majesty, I have something to ask you."

"Huh? What?"

"It's a woman's nature to be jealous. If these rumors in the palace are true, what should the emperor do?"

"The noble concubine is beautiful and kind-hearted. I believe that she will be jealous, but I don't believe that she will harm others. Rumors cannot be true. Even if they are true..."

"Ok?"

"I'll make it fake too."

"My little girl is talking too much." Lin Wanqing was taken aback for a moment, then lowered her eyes, smiled, and then turned to leave.

She was not surprised by Zhao Sansi's answer.

The little emperor in front of him, who still looks a little childish, is more aware than anyone else in this world, and he can clearly distinguish the sinister heart.

After Lin Wanqing came out of the house, she bumped into Gu Xizhao head-on, and the two exchanged a glance. She saluted and said, "Madam, all blessings."

Gu Xizhao waved her hand, "Miss San is polite."

Lin Wanqing stood up, "The rumors in the palace today have nothing to do with my sister. I'm afraid the princess has been framed. Now that the emperor is angry, I hope my wife will intercede with my sister and the princess."

Gu Xizhao frowned slightly, and quickly nodded again, "I also believe that Concubine Yu and the princess are not such people. However, Miss San really treats these sisters with deep affection."

Lin Wanqing's face was shy, "Madam is absurd."

Gu Xizhao smiled, and the two passed each other.

It wasn't until the corner where no one was watching that Gu Xizhao's eyes were full of sadness. Today's rumors are strange. Concubine Yu can't leave Yihua Palace at all now, and Princess Mingshao shouldn't be so stupid. Then... who is behind the scenes? Add to the flames?

Gu Xizhao thought about it for a long time but didn't understand it until she fell asleep at night, when Zhao Sansi told her what happened today, a flash of inspiration suddenly came to her mind, she immediately got up, changed her clothes and went to see Duan Fei.

"Immediately go and check on that maid in Jinxiu Palace."

Chapter 105

When Duan Fei went to investigate, the maid had already given up her breath.Although the aunt in charge of her said that people committed suicide by gnashing their teeth because they couldn't bear twenty boards, but Duan Fei felt that there was something tricky about it.

Duan Fei thought about it all night but did not understand the reason. When he came to report the matter with Gu Xizhao the next morning, he couldn't help asking his own doubts, "Madam, judging from the current situation, this person who spread rumors is artificial What do you think is to use the emperor's hand to suppress Princess Mingshao, who do you think this could be?"

Herein lies the puzzling part.Gu Xizhao was not surprised to hear the news that the palace lady had died. The death of the palace lady only proved from the side that there was a behind-the-scenes pusher behind this incident.

Gu Xizhao: "Guess Guard Duan, who could it be?"

Duan Fei said truthfully: "The minister is incompetent."

"Really?" Gu Xizhao lowered her eyes, with a bit of playfulness in her words, "I don't believe that Guard Duan didn't care about anything?"

Of course, Duan Fei had some concerns, but... "It's not good for Princess Mingshao to release this rumor. If the prime minister did it, there's no reason to hide it from us. But if it wasn't... the Jiang family wouldn't be able to push people into the limelight. As for the Lin family, they and Princess Mingshao are half of the boat, there is no reason for the boat to capsize at this juncture..."

Gu Xizhao listened carefully to his analysis, until Duan Fei paused for a while before she nodded her chin, "I have considered these one by one. The rumors were indeed released by the maids of Jinxiu Palace, but now that a person dies, the short Within a short period of time, we have no way of finding out..."

"The lady means..."

"No hurry." Gu Xizhao slowly raised her eyes, her voice was calm and unwavering, "Although I don't know who is fueling the flames, but the current situation is beneficial to us and harmless. Princess Mingshao is grounded in the Jinxiu Palace. Yesterday these incidents brought trouble to the court , but there are a lot of opportunities to make use of it. Just wait, Princess Mingshao and the others will soon mess themselves up."

"Yes." Duan Fei replied, Gu Xizhao's words always made him inexplicably convinced, and the sadness on his face gradually disappeared, "I will definitely keep an eye on Jinxiu Palace these days."

Gu Xizhao nodded slightly, "Princess Mingshao is ambitious, we know it well, the most important thing now is to find out their accomplices hidden in the court. If it is just a mere Jiang family, there is nothing to fear."

That's why she puts so much effort into putting on such a big show.

Princess Mingshao has a different heart, and she must not be allowed to bring the little Huai'an king back to Huai'an.

Hearing what she said, Duan Fei's expression became tense again, "The Jiang family acted cautiously, and the minister did not dare to startle the snake, but there was still no useful news to be found, and there was no movement from Jiang Ming's side."

Gu Xizhao's fingers curled up under his sleeves, and he unconsciously buttoned them on the coffee table, as if thinking about it. After a while, his expression relaxed, "These remnants have been able to keep their evil intentions alive for so many years, but they got into it without knowing it. As an official in the imperial court, it goes without saying that his thoughts are meticulous, and it is not surprising that we can't find anything. Guard Duan must not be eager for quick success."

"Yes." Duan Fei still stood with his hands down, and replied respectfully, "The prime minister also said this to the minister, and the minister will definitely be careful."

"Guard Duan is doing things, I can rest assured."

Gu Xizhao smiled for a while, then quickly suppressed her smile again.

There is someone secretly helping Princess Mingshao. Regarding the matter of the sachet, although she is sure that the person is Princess Mingshao, she has not been able to obtain conclusive evidence in a short time. The concubine took care of King Huai'an and quietly pushed all the crimes on Concubine Yu. In the end, they had nothing to do with Princess Mingshao.

If you want them to have no possibility of reversal, you need to add fire to make them jump over the wall in a hurry.

It's night, Splendid Palace.

Princess Mingshao looked at Lin Wanqing who had come uninvited, and she had a bad face, "What are you doing here?"

Lin Wanqing looked timid and helpless, "I know that the princess must hate me very much right now, and blame me for hurting you with what I said in front of the emperor yesterday..."

"You also know that you are harming me?" Princess Mingshao immediately raised her hand and slapped her across the face, "Your sister is right, you are a useless thing, and the money-losing palace looked up to you that day. , you will have some use in the future."

Princess Mingshao slapped her hard enough, and Lin Wanqing's face immediately became red and swollen at a speed visible to the naked eye, but she did not escape because of this, but instead crawled towards Princess Mingshao, "Princess, if you slap me, I can relieve my anger. Just give me a few more slaps, today I specially asked for grace to meet the princess, and I came here to explain to the princess."

Princess Mingshao raised her hand in the air, and seeing that she really didn't dodge, looking up at her with a pitiful face, she couldn't help herself, and kicked her away, "I don't want to hear you White-eyed wolf words."

"Princess, I'm not, I don't. That day in front of the emperor, I told the truth, firstly, I was afraid, and secondly, I was thinking of you and my sister. It's true that Mrs. Gu poured me loquat, and loquat is good for moistening the throat. In fact, if I agree with you and my sister, we will really slander Mrs. Gu. According to the importance the emperor attaches to Mrs. Gu, we are afraid that we will fall into it in the end."

While talking, Lin Wanqing paid attention to Princess Mingshao's expression, after she finished speaking, she paused for a moment, then knelt down and moved to her lap, sobbing in a low voice: "The princess treated me well in the past, and Wanqing took it to heart... ...Wan Qing is single and weak, and cannot help the princess out of her current predicament, so she feels very sorry..."

Princess Mingshao stared at her with her chin raised, and snorted coldly, "Don't come here with me as a hypocrite."

Lin Wanqing quickly shook her head, "Princess, Wanqing really wants to help the princess..."

"Get out..."

"Princess, you know my sister's temperament."

Princess Mingshao was startled, "What do you mean by that?"

Lin Wanqing wiped away her tears, her face seemed to be struggling, she finally looked left and right, and seeing that there was no one else in the hall, she lowered her head and said in a low voice: "My sister also knew about the interview yesterday, she blamed you for protecting yourself , put all the blame on her...she thought it was the princess who wanted to blame Mrs. Gu's miscarriage on her, she... said..."
