Chapter 658

Qin Zhao pursed the corners of his lips lightly: "None of them. Although the Empress Dowager will cause trouble for me, it is within the range I can bear. Besides, I don't want to be the second Concubine Wu."

In the next few years, Empress Dowager Guo may die. She only needs to endure for a few years, Empress Dowager Guo will disappear in this harem, and she does not need to deal with Empress Dowager Guo personally.

Princess Yongning thought that she would become the second Concubine Wu, and others thought the same, but she never felt that Concubine Wu was worth learning from. She was only herself and never wanted to be the second.

Princess Yongning looked at Qin Zhao's expression carefully and found that Qin Zhao was not joking, this woman had no intention of cooperating with her.

"The girl really doesn't plan to join forces with me?!" Princess Yongning was not reconciled and asked again.

"I didn't expose you today, just because I handed you the news that the Empress Dowager might be the murderer of your mother. Just take this as my apology to you, but only once." Qin Zhao calmly looked directly at Princess Yongning : "This time you and I are clear, the eldest princess please do it yourself."

Princess Yongning did not expect that she would come to Qin Zhao to join forces with such a result.

She thought that Qin Zhao was eager to get rid of the Queen Mother Guo, so she wanted to use her hand to get rid of the Queen Mother Guo, but listening to Qin Zhao's flat tone, it seemed that this was not the case.

"If I were in a position like a girl, I would find a way to remove the obstacles in front of me." The corner of Princess Yongning's lips slightly lifted: "Or is the girl timid, afraid that she is not the opponent of Queen Mother Guo?"

Qin Zhao's lips curved slightly: "I'm really timid, and I don't have such an extraordinary strategy as the eldest princess, so I don't do such dangerous things."

"You?!" Princess Yongning was a little annoyed when she heard the irony in Qin Zhao's words.

"Baozhu, go send the eldest princess." Qin Zhao did not want to have too much entanglement with the eldest princess Yongning, so he issued an expulsion order.

Baozhu went to Princess Yongning in response, and Princess Yongning's eyes became colder: "I only hope that one day the girl will not regret today's decision."

"Princess Lao is concerned. If I were the eldest princess, I would leave the Jinyang Palace earlier to prevent the emperor from coming. The eldest princess was guilty of making the emperor suspicious of the eldest princess." Qin Zhao said and added: "The emperor said , will come to Jinyang Palace again."

Princess Yongning didn't speak anymore, she turned and left Jinyang Palace.

Ju Yun saw that Princess Yongning was unhappy, and she didn't know how to comfort Princess Yongning for a while.

"Even if Miss Qin doesn't join forces with the eldest princess, the eldest princess can get rid of the empress dowager as well. Don't worry, Your Highness, and think of a way slowly." Ju Yun comforted in a low voice.

Princess Yongning shook her head gently: "Today's event did not affect the Empress Dowager Guo in any way. This is because I borrowed the power of Miss Qin. Before I came to Jinyang Palace, I thought that Miss Qin would be willing to cooperate with me, but now I see it. It's because I think too much. Miss Qin just wants to stay out of the way, and has never thought of joining forces with me. I really don't understand why she doesn't want to join forces with me. "

With Empress Dowager Guo there, Qin Zhao always had constraints in this harem, but Qin Zhao didn't take the initiative to attack. This was definitely not because Qin Zhao was afraid of things.

Thinking that when Concubine Wu ran rampant in the harem, she was helpless against Qin Zhao, and she was counterattacked by Qin Zhao, and Concubine Wu suffered from Qin Zhao's hands from time to time.

After thinking about it, she felt that there was only one reason, and that was Qin Zhao's concern for his relationship with the emperor.

Qin Zhao treated Taifei Wu without any scruples because Taifei Wu had nothing to do with the emperor's brother. But Empress Dowager Guo is different. Empress Dowager Guo is the biological mother of the emperor's brother, so Qin Zhao will avoid Empress Dowager Guo's edge.

It is nothing more than Qin Zhao taking into account the feelings of the emperor.

So, is Qin Zhao still a woman who attaches great importance to friendship?

After returning to Yongning Zhai, Princess Yongning frowned.

Although she cleared her hands, it would be difficult for the emperor to find out that she had poisoned Qin Zhao, but if the emperor really finds out something, she will not be able to deal with the Empress Dowager Guo in the future.

Even if the royal brother did not find her this time, it would not be easy for her to deal with the Queen Mother Guo alone in the future. Unless she can still find a help, so that she has a chance to pull the Queen Mother Guo off the horse.

Otherwise, with her strength, it would be very difficult to deal with the Queen Mother Guo.

Just when Princess Yongning was at a loss, Mama Qian came and brought moon cakes and sweet-scented osmanthus.

Grandma Qian said, "This is the moon cake and sweet-scented osmanthus stuffed that Concubine Rong prepared herself. She specially ordered the slaves to give it to the eldest princess to taste."

"The Empress Rong has a heart." Princess Yongning felt warm in her heart.

On a big day like today's Mid-Autumn Festival, Concubine Rong did not appear in front of people, but Concubine Rong still remembered to bring her moon cakes. In the entire harem, perhaps only Concubine Rong was really concerned about her, right?

"The concubine also said that after the one-year filial piety period is over, she will ask the emperor to grant her marriage. Her Royal Highness the eldest princess only needs to wait with peace of mind."

Princess Yongning remembered that her revenge for killing her mother had not been avenged, how could she be at ease to marry?

She can't leave the palace without exposing the evil deeds of the Queen Mother Guo...

On the other side, Jinyang Palace.

Shortly after Qin Zhao sent away Princess Yongning, Xiao Ce came to Jinyang Palace.

"How's the investigation?" Qin Zhao handed Xiao Ce a cup of tea.

Princess Yongning chose to shoot today, presumably after careful consideration, Xiao Ce would not be so easy to find the head of Princess Yongning.

"The poison was placed on the chessboard, and the concubine chair that the mother was sitting on was also poisoned. It seems that someone put the poison on the chessboard and the concubine chair beforehand. I followed the chessboard and the concubine chair, and then I broke the clue." Xiao Ce One hundred and fifty said.

Qin Zhao thought thoughtfully, "I guess the murderer is based on psychology. Zhang Yun is on the invite list this time, it's no secret that she likes to play chess, so someone has figured this out and played poison on the chessboard beforehand. As for the chaise longue that the Empress Dowager sat on, it was moved by Nianyun, and that person should have also figured out some of the living habits of Nianyun and the Empress Dowager."

This poisoning scene of Princess Yongning was only to drag her into the water, to test which Xiao Ce valued more between her and the Queen Mother Guo, but it failed to hurt the Queen Mother Guo in the slightest.

From her point of view, this move is not very clever.

When the risk outweighs the reward, there is no need to take action.

Of course, she said this just to dispel Xiao Ce's doubts, otherwise Xiao Ce, who was seriously ill, would feel that her reaction was too calm.

"Anyway, I believe that the emperor will uphold justice for me." Qin Zhao said this, and suddenly asked: "If the empress dowager is really attacking me this time, will the emperor deal with the empress dowager?"

Xiao Ce did not expect that she would ask such a question, and after a moment of hesitation, he said, "I will report to you to deal with it."

Qin Zhao was not surprised by Xiao Ce's answer: "If one day the emperor finds out that I have murdered the empress dowager, what will the emperor do?"
