Chapter 428 Friends Betray

Wang Fuhai's face instantly broke into a smile, and he hurriedly ordered everyone to move things inside.

The news that Jiang Wantang had taken over Fengqi Palace had already spread throughout the harem.

No matter how jealous the other concubines were, they dared not take any action.

After all, anyone who messes with her will end up with nothing good.

But compared to Jiang Wantang, they were more afraid of Ji Wuyuan.

Especially after Bai Weiwei had her tongue cut out and was beaten to death, none of them could remain still.

Even Bai Weiwei is like this, let alone them.

Some ambitious people, such as Zhao Shujia and others, also seem to have faced the reality.

His Majesty only favors Jiang Wantang, and they can neither compete nor fight against her.

Except for Jiang Wantang, the entire six palaces have no favors and are like nothing.

Jiang Wantang was too lazy to flatter other concubines, and she exempted herself from the greetings and formalities of each palace when she was still a noble concubine, and everyone was happy and comfortable.

After moving to Fengqi Palace, the first thing Jiang Wantang did was to go to the abandoned palace to look for Nangong Liuli.

During this period of time, she repeatedly recalled what Nangong Liuli said to her on the day her brother died.

She once said, "Things change. Today I'm the one imprisoned in chains, but tomorrow... maybe it will be you!"

At that time, it sounded like a provocative remark. After all, Nangong Liuli had said this kind of thing many times to mock him.

But now when Jiang Wantang heard it, he felt extremely horrified.

Because, she was almost imprisoned by Ji Wuyuan with chains.

That means Nangong Liuli already knew something.

In addition, there were many things that happened on the day her brother died. Thinking back on it, it was probably not simple.

Jiang Wantang didn't disbelieve Ji Wuyuan, but she witnessed her brother's tragic death in front of her own eyes, and she couldn't help but blame him.

Even though Ji Wuyuan did not kill the man himself, he was the first to conceal and deceive Jiang Huaizhou.

Afterwards, he forced Jiang Huaizhou to death without leaving any room for maneuver...

Finally, he tricked her into throwing Jiang Huaizhou's body into a mass grave.

Ji Wuyuan knew how much she cared about her brother, but he still did it...

As things happened one after another, Jiang Wantang at that time could not help but feel resentful and hateful.

Later, in the temple, Jiang Wantang calmed down and thought back, and realized that there was something fishy going on everywhere.

After some careful thought, Jiang Wantang had some guesses in his mind.

Therefore, she had to go to Nangong Liuli in person to confirm it.

And at this time in the abandoned palace.

Nangong Liuli was still bound by iron chains, with tattered clothes, unkempt hair and a disheveled appearance.

In front of her stood a woman wearing a gorgeous emerald green dress, a light blue cape, and with gorgeous makeup.

It was Zhao Shujia, Nangong Liuli's former close friend in the capital. (Formerly Concubine Jia, later demoted to Concubine Zhao)

Nangong Liuli sat in the corner, looked at the woman in front of him, and sneered: "What are you doing here now?"

"Are you kidding me?"

Ever since it was Bai Weiwei who came that night instead of Zhao Shujia, Nangong Liuli saw clearly the hypocritical friend in front of her.

She was imprisoned in this abandoned palace, and Zhao Shujia never visited her once, completely avoiding suspicion.

She was completely different from the enthusiastic person she was when she first returned to Beijing.

Seeing her like this, Zhao Shujia simply stopped pretending.

She looked down at Nangong Liuli in front of her and said with a smile: "Nangong Liuli, the facts have proved that it is fortunate that I did not cooperate with you at the beginning, otherwise it would not be Bai Weiwei who died."

"I came here today to tell you that Jiang Wantang has not only not been defeated, but has legitimately become the queen and has officially taken over Fengqi Palace."

"You don't know yet, right? On the day of the Emperor and Empress' wedding, she murdered the Emperor in public. Your beloved, Prince Zhenbei, rushed into the palace to save her at all costs."

Nangong Liuli's expression changed slightly when she heard Ji Wuwang.

However, Zhao Shujia did not notice and continued talking to herself.

"Tell me, you clearly have a face that's 50% or 60% similar to hers, your family background is more noble than hers, and your talent is top-notch, so why can't you compare to her?"

"Look at how noble and beautiful she is now, and then look at you, wow..."

As she spoke, Zhao Shujia looked up and down at the now disheveled Nangong Liuli, clicked her tongue twice, and showed contempt on her face.

Nangong Liuli's eyes suddenly turned cold, she narrowed her eyes slightly, and clenched her hands into fists.

She said coldly, "Zhao Shujia, although I, Nangong Liuli, am not a good person, I have always been good to you, right?"

"You and I have been close friends for many years. When you accidentally broke Empress Dowager Qi's favorite mutton-fat jade vase at the flower viewing banquet, who came to your rescue?"

"Now that I've fallen to this point, I never expected you to help me, but I didn't expect you to be such a hypocrite and an ungrateful villain!"

Zhao Shujia's face turned pale and blue, and she became angry and embarrassed: "What good friends!"

"Back then, you were superior to me in everything from your background, looks, and talent. No matter where you went, everyone only saw your excellence. No one ever cared about me standing next to you. They just used me as a foil!"

After she finished speaking, she looked at Nangong Liuli in front of her and laughed: "Aren't you Princess Liuli, who claims to be the most noble lady in the capital?"

"Look at how lowly and miserable you are now."

"Do you think those noble young masters will still stare at you when they see you in your current state?"

"Nangong Liuli, I've been suppressed by you for so many years, but in the end, I won!"

Nangong Liuli looked at her coldly with contempt in his eyes and sneered: "Oh, but you are still suppressed by others!"

"You came to see me today simply because you were jealous of Jiang Wantang for taking the throne of Queen and living in the Fengqi Palace you longed for the most."

"You can't do anything to her, so you can only step on me to vent your anger, right?"

Seeing Zhao Shujia's increasingly ugly expression, Nangong Liuli's smile deepened.

"You like Ji Wuyuan, but you're outshined by Jiang Wantang. You think you're superior to her, but do you know she's also from the Nangong clan?"

"So, even your most impressive background is still not as good as hers?"

Hearing this, Zhao Shujia's pupils suddenly widened and she murmured, "This is impossible... This is impossible..."

Nangong Liuli saw the fish taking the bait, and a cold arc curved up at the corner of her lips, and she coaxed him: "If you don't believe me, come here, and I will tell you another secret, a secret about Jiang Wantang."

Zhao Shujia hesitated for a moment, but driven by strong curiosity, she walked towards her step by step.

But when she got closer, she smelled the pungent smell of Nangong Liuli, and she couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose with a handkerchief in disgust...
