Seeing that Concubine Hua was angry, Songzhi could only start to put out the fire.

Songzhi stepped forward to comfort her: "Your Majesty, you are kind and gracious. It is Concubine Cao who is ungrateful. But in order to overthrow the Queen, I will temporarily grant her some benefits. Just think of it as preparing Concubine Cao's funeral in advance."

After hearing Songzhi's words and thinking about Cao Qinmo's abilities, Concubine Hua's anger subsided.

Concubine Hua changed her expression and said, "Then pick out three sets of fabrics and jewelry from the storeroom, and take Cao Qinmo to see Princess Wen Yi."

After Hua Fei finished speaking, she looked at Song Zhi again and said, "You are the most loyal. You should also pick out a few sets of fabrics and jewelry to use. If it weren't for you, I would have been tricked by those two this time."

Songzhi quickly thanked her: "Thank you for your grace, Madam."

The two talked for a few more words before Songzhi left the inner hall.

Cao Qinmo looked at Songzhi with hope in her eyes. Songzhi said with a smile: "My dear lady, I have pleaded for you. The queen remembers your loyalty in the past and has decided to forgive you this time. You must never do stupid things again in the future."

Cao Qinmo immediately breathed a sigh of relief and thanked, "Thank you, Aunt Songzhi."

As she spoke, Cao Qinmo took off a gold bracelet from her wrist and said, "This is just a small token of my appreciation, please accept it, Aunt Songzhi."

Songzhi took a look at the bracelet, which looked like ordinary quality, and thought that it was no wonder that Cao Qinmo betrayed her.

On the one hand, it was for Princess Wen Yi, and on the other hand, it was probably because life was not going well.

The Queen Mother promoted Cao Qinmo, but Cao Qinmo was too smart. The Queen Mother used Cao Qinmo but also suppressed him.

Cao Qinmo took the position of a noble lady, but knew that she could not compete with the empress for favor.

If you don't fight for favor, you won't be favored. If you are not favored, your life will be hard. Cao Qinmo probably has never used any good things.

Songzhi took the gold bracelet with both hands and said, "Thank you for the gift, my lady."

After putting the gold bracelet on her face, Songzhi said, "The Queen has shown special favor and allowed me to take you to see Princess Wenyi."

Cao Qinmo's eyes lit up, and the smile on her face became three times more genuine. She said in surprise, "That's great. Thank you for your grace, Your Majesty."

Songzhi made a gesture of invitation, and Cao Qinmo followed Songzhi to the side hall with a happy face.

Cao Qinmo and Princess Wen Yi stayed in the palace for half an hour before reluctantly coming out.

Seeing Cao Qinmo's reluctant expression, Songzhi said to Cao Qinmo: "My dear lady, don't be sad. The queen will never be the same as before. The princess will only live better here."

Cao Qinmo didn't know whether she believed it or not, so she nodded.

Songzhi continued, "The Queen also gave you some clothing and jewelry. Please take a look."

After Songzhi finished speaking, she clapped her hands three times.

Hearing the sound, several palace maids came in one after another carrying trays.

Cao Qinmo stared at the gorgeous clothes and expensive jewelry.

But after just a few breaths, Cao Qinmo returned to normal.

But the light in Cao Qinmo's eyes made Songzhi frown inwardly.

Cao Qinmo is really petty. The Empress doesn't like these things, so Songzhi picked them out and gave them to Cao Qinmo.

It's just that no one knows what Zhen Huan gave to Cao Qinmo, which made Cao Qinmo turn against her and betray the Empress.

Since Zhen Huan was in favor, the emperor always gave her rare and precious things. He couldn't bribe her with a box of spices.

Could it be something worth a fortune?

If that's the case, it makes sense.

It is not difficult to bribe people who have never seen good things. All you have to do is cater to their tastes.
