After returning from rebirth, the eldest sister of Hou family destroyed her household registration b

"Your Highness, does the Emperor really intend to favor the Queen?"

At the entrance of the palace, after listening to Xiao Jinzhi's explanation of what happened in the royal study, Qin Li's eyebrows furrowed.

This matter concerns so many people. If the emperor really wanted to pursue it, he should not investigate it privately anyway.

And he didn't let anyone leak the news. This clearly meant that he wanted to suppress the matter and favor Empress Wei.

Xiao Jinzhi said with a smile, "It does seem to be partiality, but not all partiality is a good thing."

"Your Highness, you mean that the Emperor's partiality will harm the Queen?" Qin Li was puzzled.

"This favoritism will not harm Empress Wei, but the way Empress Wei obtains this favoritism will harm her." Chu Huanyan said slowly.

For so many years, Empress Wei and Emperor Xiao had hidden a big secret together, and speaking of it, they did seem to have some kind of affection.

But Xiao Jinzhi's identity was the biggest thorn in Emperor Xiao's heart. It must have been uncomfortable to have been fearing and guarding against someone in the dark for so many years.

But now, Queen Wei is still using this matter to threaten her, which is simply adding fuel to the fire.

I think Xiao Jinzhi's performance in the Royal Study Room must have been very successful. The sudden reversal made Queen Wei panic and confused, so she used this biggest trump card regardless.

"According to this statement, will the Emperor secretly..." Qin Li lowered his voice and quietly made a gesture of wiping his neck, "Taking action against the Queen?"

"After all, she is still a queen. If she only does this now, she will not be able to do this, but..." Xiao Jinzhi leaned on the carriage, "If someone can push me further, I am not sure. "

Chu Huanyan curled her lips and said, "Your Highness has worked hard today. Now, it's time for me to appear."

Now that the drama in the royal study room is over, now she is going to push for this.

Zhaoxia Hall.

Chu Huanyan waited outside the door for a while, and was soon invited in by the palace maid.

"My daughter has met the noble concubine."

"Miss Chu, you don't have to be polite." Concubine Xue was making tea and said to Chu Huanyan with a smile, "You came just in time. Miss Chu will try the newly delivered tea together."

"Thank you, madam." Chu Huanyan nodded and stepped forward.

Concubine Xue made tea leisurely, "It will take a while."

"It's okay, my lady, don't be in a hurry." Chu Huanyan said softly.

Concubine Xue raised her head and glanced at her, "Miss Chu came here today. I don't know why?"

Chu Huanyan did not speak immediately, but looked at the palace ladies standing not far away.

Concubine Xue waved her hand and signaled them to retreat, leaving only Yue Gui in the palace.

"Yuegui is a close confidant of this palace. There is no need to hide anything from her. Miss Chu can just tell her what she has to say."

Chu Huanyan nodded, "I came here today to ask the noble concubine if she still hates the queen?"

Concubine Xue held the teacup in her hand and paused, then raised her eyes to look at Chu Huanyan, "I don't understand what Miss Chu means. The Queen and I are biological sisters, the same mother, so why should I hate her."

"The evidence hidden in the orchid before was probably put by the empress. The imperial concubine did not hesitate to risk her own life in order to prove the queen's crime. Is this the affection between you sisters?"

Their eyes met, Concubine Xue was silent for a while, then she slowly put down the teacup in her hand.

"When did Miss Chu find out?"

"When I found the evidence under the orchid, I already felt something was wrong. After all, how could someone who loves orchids like Youlan not know that those things buried underneath can easily damage the roots." Chu Huanyan paused and said seriously Looking at Concubine Xue, "Your Majesty, I've known for a long time that Youlan was sent here by the Queen, right?"

As Chu Huanyan finished speaking, the palace fell silent. Yuegui stood aside nervously, looking at his wife.

After a long time, Concubine Xue's smile returned to her face and she continued to make tea.

"Miss Chu is right. I have known about it for a long time, and I asked Yue Gui to arrange the evidence."

"Empress..." Yuegui couldn't help but call out.

"It doesn't matter." Concubine Xue shook her head, "Since Miss Chu has reached this point, I have nothing to hide. I do hate her, but it's a pity that what happened that time just took away her control. The power of the harem.”

With that said, Concubine Xue moved her eyes from the teacup in front of her to Chu Huanyan.

"Miss Chu should have guessed it a long time ago. It was not revealed at the time, and now she is saying these things in front of me. Could it be that... there is something that I need to do?"

"Indeed, I do. Although I don't know why I hate the Queen, but if I say that now is the best time to take revenge, will I believe it?"

Although the poisoning incident this time is very involved and will cause public resentment if you are not careful, Emperor Xiao may not choose to whitewash the situation after being threatened, so someone needs to give him a push.

As for that candidate, Concubine Xue is the most suitable.

A flash of light flashed quickly in Concubine Xue's eyes, and she slowly lowered her expression as she looked at Chu Huanyan in front of her.

"Miss Chu, can I really believe you?"

"Believe it or not, this matter can only be judged and decided by the empress herself. If the empress is not willing to take the risk, just treat it as if I have never been here today. As for the orchid matter, since I have not exposed it before, then naturally I will I will completely rot this matter in my stomach." Chu Huanyan's eyes were open and there seemed to be no trace of haze in her eyes.

Concubine Xue was a little distracted with this look. She was obviously full of calculations, but why could the person in front of her have such eyes?

Lowering her eyes, Concubine Xue picked up the sapphire teapot on the side and slowly poured two cups of tea.

Then he pushed one of the cups in front of Chu Huanyan, "Thank you, Miss Chu, for giving me this opportunity. I'm... willing to give it a try."

Chu Huanyan picked up the tea cup in front of her and took a sip of the tea. It was fragrant and sweet, but when she savored it carefully, she could feel the bitterness lingering between her tongue and teeth.

She is a bit like Concubine Xue. She may seem weak and kind at first glance, but her sharp edge can sometimes deliver a fatal blow.

Chu Huanyan put down her tea cup, stood up and saluted, "Thank you, my Majesty, I will take my leave."

"Empress, do you really want to take action?" Yuegui walked to Concubine Xue and couldn't help but ask.

"This time, maybe it is indeed a perfect time."

"But what if..."

"Yuegui, I have been waiting for too long. Although I am patient, some opportunities...are fleeting."

Concubine Xue looked at the tea in front of her, slowly picked it up and drank it all in one gulp.

When he put down the tea cup again, there was only a cold look in his eyes.
