Chapter 296: The Aftermath of Restoration
Chapter 296: The Aftermath of Restoration
Not to mention how shocked and guilty Zhen Huan was at Yongzheng's words, the emperor really missed her at this moment.
Therefore, when Yongzheng personally visited Suiyuxuan, he waved his hand and ordered people to remove the shackles on the door of Suiyuxuan.
This means that Zhen Huan's "house arrest" has been completely lifted.
The news of Zhen Huan's restoration to favor quickly spread throughout the six palaces, catching many concubines who wanted to see the joke off guard.
Among them, Concubine Hua suffered the strongest shock.
……
"How could this happen? Was this little bitch actually released from her confinement just like that?"
In Yikun Palace, when Concubine Hua heard the news, she was stunned.
She subconsciously knocked over the teacup beside her, letting the fine imperial porcelain fall to the ground and break into several pieces. Concubine Hua did not react at all, but just sat stupidly on the throne with an expression full of disbelief.
"My queen! Be careful of your body!"
Songzhi, who was standing by, felt sad when she saw Concubine Hua in such a state of disarray. She quickly wanted to step forward and persuade Concubine Hua to take care of herself.
However, Concubine Hua is now completely doubting her life and turns a deaf ear to any advice from others.
"Haha, this little bitch, I really underestimated her. I thought she wouldn't cause any more trouble if she was locked up, but who knew it would be like this?"
Concubine Hua seemed like a madman, just cursing Zhen Huan all the time, which looked really scary.
Songzhi saw all of this, but she was trembling with fear.
She had been with him since childhood, and Songzhi had never seen Concubine Hua like this.
She could imagine that Concubine Hua must be facing tremendous torment, but she couldn't empathize with her. Even if she wanted to persuade her, she didn't know where to start.
"Noble Lady Cao has arrived!"
At this moment, the young eunuch guarding outside the door suddenly came with a report. It turned out that Cao Qinmo had arrived.
Hearing this voice, Songzhi suddenly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said to Concubine Hua: "Your Majesty! Concubine Cao is here. She must have a way to help you!"
"Hmm?" Upon hearing this, Concubine Hua frowned fiercely, and then she seemed to regain her composure all of a sudden, and said coldly: "Then why don't you let her in?"
"Yes!"
When Songzhi heard this, she was obviously cheered up, and then she ran out quickly, intending to have some "private conversation" with this Concubine Cao after Cao Qinmo came in.
She also knew that Concubine Cao had always been very smart.
Since Cao Qinmo rushed over as soon as Zhen Huan regained her favor, she must have had a corresponding plan.
Otherwise, did Cao Qinmo come here just to be scolded?
That was naturally impossible, so Songzhi wanted to rely on Cao Qinmo to help her master.
"Lady Cao!"
Songzhi came to the door quickly, stopped in front of Cao Qinmo, and said seriously: "I have something to say to you, but I don't know if you are willing to listen."
"Since Miss Songzhi has something to teach me, I would like to hear your advice."
Cao Qinmo originally just wanted to find Concubine Hua to discuss ways to deal with Zhen Huan.
According to the general strategy that Cao Qinmo had in mind from the beginning, she wanted to use Zhen Huan to deal with Concubine Hua.
Only when Zhen Huan and Concubine Hua fight each other can she reap the final benefits.
Therefore, even if Zhen Huan was not favored by the emperor, Cao Qinmo would find a way to restore her favor.
And now, Zhen Huan has come out of her predicament on her own.
This is certainly a good thing for Cao Qinmo!
She now finds Concubine Hua in order to arouse her jealousy and then make her fight with Zhen Huan.
However, seeing Songzhi's look of being faced with a formidable enemy, Cao Qinmo slowly laughed in her heart.
It seems that she doesn't have to do anything more.
With Concubine Hua's personality, she would have exploded by now!
"My lady, you came to our palace at this time, probably for the queen, but... the queen is in a bad mood right now!"
Songzhi pulled Cao Qinmo aside, lowered her voice, and "reminded" Cao Qinmo.
The reason why she did this was not because she had any "sympathy" for Cao Qinmo.
Songzhi just wanted Cao Qinmo to try her best to help her queen solve the problem, so naturally she couldn't let Cao Qinmo step on the minefield by mistake.
"Of course I know this."
Facing Songzhi's "friendly reminder", Cao Qinmo also nodded seriously, indicating that she knew that Concubine Hua was like a fireball that was about to explode.
"Then, young master, do you have any way to appease the queen?"
Seeing Cao Qinmo seemed to be in control of the situation, Songzhi's worries did not diminish and she continued to ask questions.
"Of course. If I wasn't absolutely sure, how could I dare to take this trip?"
Cao Qinmo nodded again, showing full confidence.
"Then please ask the young master and the servant to come."
Seeing this, Songzhi felt that she had done her best and the rest, success or failure, all depended on God's will.
She didn't have much to say, so she turned around and took Cao Qinmo into the main hall of Yikun Palace.
In the main hall, Concubine Hua was looking impatient.
"What are you guys doing dawdling outside?"
Finally, Cao Qinmo and Song Zhi came back, and Concubine Hua didn't speak in a good tone.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I was planning to come and see you, but Miss Songzhi was worried about your mood. In order to avoid offending me, I have to remind you. I am late, please forgive me!"
Cao Qinmo was not a fool. Of course she knew that she and Songzhi could not hide their whispering outside from Concubine Hua.
Right now, Concubine Hua might still be angry. If she answers honestly, perhaps the matter can be moved on soon. But if she tries to hide the truth, it will probably make things worse.
Because of this, when Concubine Hua opened her mouth, Cao Qinmo had already thought of how to answer her.
On the other hand, Songzhi didn’t think it through so thoroughly.
When she heard Cao Qinmo mention her name, she felt a roar in her brain, and only one thought remained in her mind - it's over! It's all over!
She shouldn't have helped Cao Qinmo, otherwise, how could she have been betrayed by the other party?
Feeling regretful for what she had done, Songzhi instinctively apologized to Concubine Hua after she came to her senses.
She didn't want to look up, but she saw that the other party didn't look angry, which made Songzhi stunned.
Then, Songzhi realized that Concubine Hua's attention was probably all on Concubine Wan.
As for others, they are not within Hua Fei's concern at all.
"Since you have been awakened by Songzhi, do you know what I am worried about now?"
Concubine Hua looked at Cao Qinmo leisurely, with a complex look filled with scrutiny.
