An Lingrong's Rebirth: Changing Fate from the Suiyuxuan
Chapter 288: Asking for Grace
Originally, according to Cao Qinmo's plan, she wanted to instigate Zhen Huan behind the scenes, stir up a conflict between her and Concubine Hua, and then reap the benefits herself.
But the fact that Zhen Huan was suddenly confined to the Sui Yuxuan was beyond Cao Qinmo's expectations.
With her keen "sense of smell", she immediately realized that this matter might be unusual.
Come to think of it, considering how much favor Zhen Huan had enjoyed recently, she was able to anger the emperor all of a sudden and cause Yongzheng to put her under house arrest. This shows that there was a big problem.
Because of this, Cao Qinmo felt that she could not rely on Zhen Huan to deal with Concubine Hua.
When Cao Qinmo thought that her daughter was still controlled by Concubine Hua, she felt as if her heart was being cut by a knife.
In order to rescue Wen Yi from Concubine Hua's clutches as soon as possible, Cao Qinmo chose to take a risk once again!
On this day, Cao Qinmo was dressed simply, with only a few silver hairpins on her head. She did not even bring a palace maid with her, and came to Hua Fei's Yiku Palace alone.
"Hey, what kind of wind is blowing today? It actually blew Concubine Cao here!"
Seeing Cao Qinmo coming, Songzhi was like a cat with its fur standing on end. She instantly turned into "combat mode". Not only did she not have a good look towards Cao Qinmo, she also spoke in a sarcastic manner.
"I'm here to pay my respects to the queen."
Cao Qinmo always greeted people with a smile. Even though she was facing just a palace maid, she knew very well that the other party was Concubine Hua's "confidant" and of course she would not argue with her.
Even though she was being ridiculed by Songzhi at this moment, she still had a smile on her face, and even her smile did not change at all.
"Oh, you're thinking about the queen now? Why didn't you come to pay your respects to the queen earlier?"
Songzhi took advantage of the fact that Concubine Hua was tired of Cao Qinmo before, and now she was deliberately trying to trick her.
"Before, I had not done anything 'meritorious', so of course I didn't dare to face the Empress, but now it's different."
Cao Qinmo had already prepared various excuses. Not to mention Song Zhi, she had already thought of ways to deal with the possible ridicule from Concubine Hua.
Therefore, Cao Qinmo silenced Song Zhi, who had wanted to make things difficult for her, with just a few words.
"Haha! I hope you are not just talking nonsense!"
Songzhi gritted her teeth and said this reluctantly, then she didn't dare to stand in front of Cao Qinmo any longer, but reluctantly gave way.
Cao Qinmo deliberately emphasized the tone of her words just now and mentioned "meritorious service", which undoubtedly surprised Songzhi.
She still doesn't know what Cao Qinmo is up to. Considering that she used to give advice to Concubine Hua, and even though she has failed several times recently, she still has "glorious achievements". Songzhi is not sure whether Concubine Hua will re-employ Cao Qinmo in the future.
After thinking about this, Songzhi had no choice but to be obedient.
"Thank you."
Cao Qinmo certainly didn't know about Songzhi's "inner thoughts", but in the "plan" she had prepared, there was already a way to resolve the current crisis.
Cao Qinmo hasn't used it yet, so it would be great if Songzhi could retreat on her own.
After saying this to Songzhi, Cao Qinmo, who no longer had any "obstacles", immediately walked towards the road leading to the main hall where Concubine Hua was.
"Why are you here?"
When Concubine Hua saw that it was Cao Qinmo who came to visit, she was a little surprised at first.
Ever since Cao Qinmo had suggested that she invite some monks to hold a prayer ceremony for the empress dowager to congratulate her on her birthday, Concubine Hua still trusted her very much.
However, at the Empress Dowager's Centenary Banquet, Prince Dun suddenly acted out something that directly offended the Emperor and the Empress Dowager.
After that, the empress dowager was so worried about Longkodo that she had no intention of dealing with the beauties in the harem.
Hua Fei's "flattery" hit the wrong target, and she felt that she had suffered the greatest humiliation of her life. Cao Qinmo happened to be right beside her, so she became the well-deserved "scapegoat".
At this time, more than a month had passed since the Empress Dowager's death. Concubine Hua had long since calmed down. Later, she learned some things about the previous dynasty from her brother's letter. She understood more clearly that the Empress Dowager disliked her at that time because "there were reasons for it", and it was not because she tried to please her but failed.
However, according to Hua Fei's usual character, she would never admit it even if she was wrong.
Therefore, even though Cao Qinmo didn't come over herself, Concubine Hua was not panicked at all and just acted as if this person didn't exist.
Now seeing Cao Qinmo, Concubine Hua's first reaction was a little surprise.
She didn't hear the conversation between Cao Qinmo and Song Zhi, so of course she didn't know why Cao Qinmo came to her house at this time.
"May the Empress Hua live in peace and happiness!"
Cao Qinmo did not answer Hua Fei's question immediately, but first bowed deeply to Hua Fei.
After the confused Concubine Hua finished receiving the greetings, Cao Qinmo smiled and said, "I came here specially to congratulate Her Majesty! Congratulations to Her Majesty on your great happiness!"
"Where does this joy come from?"
After hearing what Cao Qinmo said, Concubine Hua was even more confused. She didn't want to play dumb with Cao Qinmo, so she said, "I don't understand what you are talking about. Please explain clearly. What good news do you have for me?"
"Haha, Madam, you have always regarded that Concubine Wan as a serious threat, and now that she has finally fallen out of favor, it is not in vain that I have made such painstaking efforts!"
Seeing Concubine Hua's confused look, Cao Qinmo felt even happier.
Based on her understanding of Concubine Hua, she knew that whenever Concubine Hua was like this, it was often the best time to fool her.
Therefore, Cao Qinmo, who had originally intended to use Zhen Huan to "take credit", took all the blame for Zhen Huan being blamed by the emperor on herself without blushing or breathing, saying that it was all because of her pretending to "give advice" to Zhen Huan, which caused her to misbehave in front of the emperor and angered Yongzheng.
"Haha, if you say so, then I have to praise you."
After hearing what Cao Qinmo said, Concubine Hua also reacted, and said with a fake smile: "Lady Cao, considering that you are still so loyal to me, tell me, what reward do you want?"
As soon as Concubine Hua said this, Cao Qinmo's heartbeat suddenly accelerated.
But she was familiar with Hua Fei's character and could see that she was saying one thing and thinking another, so Cao Qinmo quickly suppressed the words that were about to come out of her mouth.
Cao Qinmo did not immediately make any request according to Concubine Hua's words, but deliberately pondered for a moment.
After waiting for a while, Cao Qinmo finally spoke: "Your Majesty, I do have something on my mind, and I would like to ask for your grace!"
As soon as Cao Qinmo said this, Concubine Hua, who was waiting to see the show, immediately started laughing.
