"Aunt, Qingying would like to ask, are you planning to have someone expose the innocence of Concubine Xi's twin children?"

When I talk about what I have done, it comes naturally to me.

But the queen's expression changed again after hearing her words.

"Qingying, what nonsense are you talking about!"

"Aunt, you and I are aunt and niece, why are we hiding this?"

"Qingying has come to the palace today because she has something to tell Aunt. I wonder who the adulterer is that you want to expose?"

Qingying's expression was so determined that the queen was silent.

My mind is a little confused.

After a long while, she sighed softly, "Well, you're grown up after all. You should have a method to do things now. You can notice these things, which means you've made a lot of progress."

"Noble Concubine Xi is now gaining more favor. If she continues like this, my position as Empress will be in jeopardy."

The Queen gave a wry smile as she spoke, "I have received a report from the nun at Ganlu Temple. I believe the adulterer is the Imperial Physician Wen Shichu."

As expected, this person exists!

Qingying shook her head slowly. "Aunt, I've met Wen Shichu twice before. He was always timid and submissive. How could he dare to commit such a capital crime? Aunt, do you still remember who brought Concubine Xi back to the palace from Ganlu Temple?"

The Queen suddenly turned around and stared at Qingying in her eyes. "You mean, Prince Guo?!"

"If we're talking about adultery, Qingying can only think of this person. If Auntie really wants to expose this matter, it would be much easier to start with him."

"How is that possible? He is the emperor's biological brother..."

Having said that, the queen's expression suddenly became hesitant.

When did Zhen Huan start to think about returning to the palace?

The Queen naturally didn't know.

But wasn't it the time when the other party actually met the emperor in Ganlu Temple that the news of Prince Guo's death came?

She became pregnant early, but because of the death of Prince Guo, she had to find another father for her child.

In addition, for the lives of Zhen Yuandao and the entire Zhen family, she had no choice but to return to the palace!

When the queen thought of this, a sense of joy immediately rose in her heart.

Qingying's speculation might actually be true!

However, since this involves Prince Guo, we must be extra cautious.

You have to find out something first!

"Qingying, your aunt knows about this. But if your aunt wants to overthrow Concubine Xi, would Hongli be willing? Can you guarantee this?"

"Aunt, considering the prince's current thoughts, if you even hint at your willingness to support him, he will probably abandon Concubine Xi immediately."

Qingying smiled and then continued, "Qingying said something that may offend Auntie. After all, Third Prince is unable to rise to power, and Auntie has no other choice to compete with him."

The Queen laughed when she heard this. "Child, you are becoming more and more reckless in your words now."

"Aunt has taken the trouble to train Qingying. If Qingying still doesn't make any progress, I will be letting her down."

Having settled this matter, the Queen had no intention of saying anything else.

But Qingying had not finished what she wanted to say.

At the Queen's signal, she took a sip of tea and said, "Aunt, there is no one in the palace who can be trusted. This time, I would like to ask you to take the trouble to find a nanny for my niece who can be relied upon."

The Queen frowned slightly upon hearing this. "I remember that Ah Ruo, who was by your side, has been serving you since she was a child. Isn't she useless?"

"Last night, when the prince was about to arrive, A Ruo deliberately bumped into him. This morning, before he paid his respects, she even deliberately didn't come. With such a good ability, I'm afraid my niece can't use her."

"You mean, she wants to climb into bed?"

Qingying nodded and replied, "That's right."

The Queen sneered, "You've allowed someone like her to serve you until now. It's truly your own fault, Jianqiu!"

The palace door was immediately pushed open, and Jianqiu walked in quickly. "Your Majesty, this servant is here."

"Go, call in the concubine named A Ruo. I want to see her."

"Yes."

Jianqiu responded and went downstairs, and soon brought A Ruo in.

When he came before the queen, she seemed to have finally remembered the rules she should follow.

She knelt down and kowtowed obediently, "This servant pays respects to Her Majesty the Queen. May Her Majesty be blessed with good health."

The queen held a jade ruyi in her hand, her expression very cold.

"From the sound of her voice, she is a pretty girl. Look up."

The Queen's tone made A Ruo feel a little scared.

But I dared not to react.

She knelt straight, raised her head slightly, and revealed a fairly pretty face.

"She really is quite pretty, no wonder she has such good intentions."

The Queen spoke again, which made A Ruo feel even colder.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. I don't know what I have done wrong. Please tell me..."

"You don't need to know what you did wrong. I don't have the good temper of your master to explain everything to you. You just need to know that you will stay in Jingren Palace to serve from now on. You don't need to return to the palace."

After the queen finished speaking, she waved her hand and Jianqiu immediately led a few people up.

Regardless of A Ruo's look of surprise, and without even having time to speak, the person dragged her away.

It wasn't until she walked out the door that A Ruo seemed to react.

But as soon as she started crying, Jianqiu blocked her mouth.

Qingying turned her head and glanced at the queen, feeling very satisfied.

With great power in hand, one naturally acts without scruples.

I don’t know if I can still have such a day now that I have been reborn and become my own niece.

Before I could think about it, another person came in from outside.

He looks to be about the same age as Jianqiu.

"Xiu Xia, from today on, you will serve beside Concubine Fu Jin."

When the Queen gave her order, Xiuxia knelt down and responded, then turned to Qingying and said, "This servant pays respects to the Concubine."

This person naturally made Qingying satisfied.

After sitting for another cup of tea, Qingying stood up and said goodbye.

After she left, the queen called Jianqiu in again.

He used his hands to support his head, and the queen frowned, thinking hard.

First, I don’t understand why Qingying suddenly changed so much.

The second thing I don’t understand is, does Concubine Xi really have the guts to have an affair with the emperor’s own brother?

"Your Majesty, I'm personally watching over this freshly cooked Tremella and Pear Soup. I didn't put much sugar in it. Would you like to try it?"

The Queen tapped the table with her fingertips. Jianqiu understood, put down the soup, and said, "Your Majesty, Xiuxia is following the concubine to the palace. Is there anything else you want me to tell you?"

The Queen's thoughts were now completely on Concubine Xi.

Although he could not fully control the personnel affairs in Hongli's mansion, the most important thing at the moment was obviously not the affairs of the palace.

Then she shook her head and said, "Xiu Xia is also an old man by my side. Now Qing Ying can stand on her own, so there is no need for us to do anything unnecessary."

Jianqiu nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

The Queen's voice did not stop there.

He frowned for a long time, then said, "Jianqiu, did Feiwen really see Wen Shichu and Concubine Xi having an affair?"
