Chapter 1382 Jealousy Surges

Zhao Yu nodded slightly, and took advantage of the situation to lift Wu Xiyu's restraint.

In the future, he has other plans. He doesn't need to do anything to deal with Wu Xiyu. After all, the backyard is where women fight.

"Madam will lift the confinement, take care of your body first, and Xiao Shi will be in charge of Zhongfu for the time being, so you can rest at ease." Before leaving, Zhao Yu dropped this sentence.

Wu Xiyu managed to stabilize her expression, and after watching Zhao Yu walk away, she let go of her clenched fist.

What a Xiao family, it turns out that this woman is in charge of the Zhao family.

She knew that Zhao Yu had taken in a few more aunts recently, all of them were good concubines, and they were as beautiful as flowers.

Among them, Xiao's is the most favored.

In the evening, she received the news that Zhao Yu went to Xiao's room again tonight.

It seems that she has to think of a way to get rid of Xiao's opponent and regain the power of management...

On the other side, Kunning Palace.

Xiao Linzi is reporting the results he found to Qin Zhao.

"As the empress expected, Xu Cairen is indeed Mrs. Xu's adopted child, but it seems that it has nothing to do with the orphan adopted by the Hu family..."

Qin Zhao looked carefully at Xu Cairen's profile, and after a while she said, "I remember that Nianyun said that her younger sister is twenty-three years old, and Xu Cairen's age just matches that of Nianyun's younger sister."

After a pause, Qin Zhao said calmly, "Go and call Nianyun over, I have something to ask her."

Nianyun soon came to Kunning Palace, and she greeted Qin Zhao in accordance with the etiquette: "I don't know what orders the empress has for summoning the servants?"

Qin Zhao didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked her sister's name when she was a child.

Nianyun's heart beat faster when she heard this question, and she replied truthfully: "My sister's surname is Xu, and her name is Ying."

Qin Zhao's eyes dimmed, and it was exactly what she had guessed.

"I remember that your surname is not Xu, why does your younger sister have the surname Xu?" Qin Zhao asked calmly.

Nian Yun replied truthfully: "The family was poor at the time, and my younger sister was adopted by my uncle, so I took my uncle's surname."

Qin Zhao understood: "It turns out to be like this."

"Did the empress find out the whereabouts of the servant sister?" Nianyun asked cautiously.

Qin Zhao opened his lips calmly, "Investigating."

Nianyun couldn't help being a little disappointed, but he didn't show it too obviously in front of Qin Zhao.

"Don't worry, the results can always be found out, so you should step down first." Qin Zhao said with a pleasant face.

Nianyun glanced at Qin Zhao, and always felt that Qin Zhao's expression was a bit unpredictable.

But she didn't dare to ask any more questions, and bowed to retreat.

As soon as Nianyun left, Xiao Linzi came to Qin Zhao: "It seems that the younger sister Nianyun is looking for is Xu Cairen."

No wonder Xu Cairen's past can't be found, because Xu Cairen's surname is Xu. The Xu family he found did indeed have this family, and that family was Nianyun's uncle.

It's just that the family has long since disappeared, but those neighbors have all seen Mrs. Xu, so when he went to check Xu Cairen's details, he didn't find any problems.

If it wasn't for the Queen's empress being as careful as dust and linking Xu Cairen and Nianyun, I'm afraid they really wouldn't be able to find out what's wrong.

"This is only a part. I still suspect that Xu Cairen is from the Hu family. Among the orphans adopted by the Hu family, Xu Cairen should be a special case." Qin Zhao thoughtfully.

Even though she has no evidence in her hand, she still thinks that the Xu family will adopt Xu Cairen as their daughter, and she will be sent to the palace again, with Hu side concubine dealing with it.

She also firmly believed in her intuition that Xu Cairen was the wife of Concubine Hu.

"Slave, do you want to continue the investigation?" Xiao Linzi asked.

"No need, it's impossible for Concubine Hu to leave obvious evidence. Besides, with Nianyun's trump card in hand, there is no need to investigate any more. I will find a way to pry Xu Cairen's mouth open in the future." Qin Qin Zhao smiled: "I haven't seen Xu Cairen for some days, I will meet another day."

Xiao Linzi withdrew as promised.

The first day of June is the day when all the concubines in the harem greet Qin Zhao.

It was rare for Qin Zhao to get up early in the morning to accept everyone's greetings.

The gathering of many beauties is nothing more than a topic for some women, Yun Ran is also among them, and her voice is the most ear-piercing.

Later, Yun Ran brought the topic up to Qin Zhao, and she said sarcastically, "The emperor stayed at Kunning Palace again yesterday, it seems that the emperor loves the empress more and more."

For a moment, all the beautiful eyes focused on Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao's clothes are not special today, even lighter than any beauties present. But with such a clean soup and little water, she can become the focus of everyone when she sits lazily on the phoenix chair. She is so charming that people can't take their eyes off her.

It was probably because of being favored yesterday, Qin Zhao's face was rosy, pure and flattering, the end is that the beauty is like a flower separated from the clouds, making people's heart itchy.

All the beauties slandered in their hearts, Qin Zhao became more and more beautiful, all of which were pampered by Xiao Ce.

If they had the opportunity to sit in bed, wouldn't they also become as charming and affectionate as Qin Zhao?

Speaking of May, everyone felt heartbroken, because no matter how busy Xiao Ce was, he would stay at Kunning Palace every night, even during the days when Qin Zhao was not clean, Xiao Ce also went to Kunning Palace.

Qin Zhao did not give the other sisters in the harem any chance of survival, and occupied the emperor every night.

"It's okay." Qin Zhao's red lips curled slightly, as if he couldn't feel the surging jealousy in the hall.

Anyway, it is impossible for her to give Xiao Ce to other women.

It is better for them to be widows than for her to be broken in love.

Qin Zhao's words "It's okay" almost made all the beauties present half dead. At this time, another talented person stood up and said, "The empress has been favored in this way, can't she share some favors with other sisters?" Wake up, I have been in the palace for so long, and I haven't seen any sisters get promoted."

Is this hint obvious enough?

Unlike Qin Zhao, who had no status when he first entered the harem, but later gave birth to a prince and was directly promoted to imperial concubine.

Later, she was promoted from imperial concubine to empress.

Originally, Wu Xirou was also promoted to be a virtuous concubine, but she was also demoted later.

With so many women in the harem, not only are they not favored by the emperor, but even their status has been the same for a hundred years, and they have never been promoted. How can they live in this day?

The words of this talented person made the hall even quieter.

Qin Zhao himself was stalked once. She didn't pay attention to this matter before, but after someone reminded her, she found that it was indeed the case.

Xiao Ce has been on the throne for several years, and everyone is still standing still, only she is making great strides forward and becoming a queen.

The gap between people is indeed a bit far.

"I will raise this matter with the emperor, and we will see what the emperor thinks." Qin Zhao still let go.

Everyone didn't expect Qin Zhao to give in on this matter, and everyone looked at each other in blank dismay.

Seeing this, Yun Ran sneered slightly: "Isn't the Empress just talking casually?"

This is also the worry of other people, who are afraid that Qin Zhaoyin will obey Yang and violate it.
