"Well, then just tell me what favor you want from me?"

Concubine Hua had a smile on her face, but that smile did not reach her eyes at all.

Obviously, facing Cao Qinmo who came to her door on her own initiative, Concubine Hua did not take her seriously at all.

It’s just that, because Zhen Huan is now under house arrest by the Emperor, Concubine Hua’s mood has also become very good, so she wants to “play” with Cao Qinmo.

In Hua Fei's opinion, this noble lady Cao could be said to be "scheming", even though she had liked this point about Cao Qinmo before.

But it was only when she needed it that Concubine Hua appreciated this advantage of Cao Qinmo.

Now, Concubine Hua has no use for Cao Qinmo, so how could she possibly treat her differently?

Following Cao Qinmo's words and asking her what favor she wanted, Concubine Hua was simply playing a trick on her!

How could someone as smart as Cao Qinmo not see this?

However, Cao Qinmo had an ulterior motive when she came to Yikun Palace to find Concubine Hua this time, and of course she had anticipated this possibility early on.

Therefore, when facing Hua Fei's deliberate question, even though Cao Qinmo had already seen what Hua Fei was going to say next, she still jumped in without hesitation.

"Reporting to Madam Hua Fei, the grace I want is very simple!"

Cao Qinmo smiled slightly, and then said: "What I want is that Your Majesty can consider that I have helped you solve your worries this time, and take me in again, so that I can serve you like a dog and a horse!"

After Cao Qinmo said this, the smile on Concubine Hua's face, who was originally waiting to see the joke, slowly faded away.

Obviously, Hua Fei had expected that Cao Qinmo would say such words to her.

Originally, according to Concubine Hua's guess, Cao Qinmo had finally come close to her to take credit, so even if she had to make a request, she would definitely take Princess Wen Yi back.

After all, Concubine Hua knew Cao Qinmo very well and knew that in her heart, the most important thing was her daughter.

But what Cao Qinmo said now made Concubine Hua feel a little surprised and puzzled, and even the way she looked at Cao Qinmo became strange.

"Your Highness! You don't have to be suspicious. What I said comes from my heart!"

Cao Qinmo also felt the suspicion from Concubine Hua. She smiled and said, "Your Majesty may find it strange that I don't take this opportunity to make other requests. There are two reasons for this. One is that it is a great fortune for the princess to stay with you, just like the reason why I am where I am today is because of your grace. Therefore, I dare not have any other delusions. The second reason is that I know very well that only staying with you is the best destination for the princess and me!"

Cao Qinmo was already well versed in the subject of "language", and having followed Concubine Hua for many years, she knew her character very well.

Because of this, long before coming here, Cao Qinmo had already thought about how to gain the other party's trust.

At first, Concubine Hua really didn't take it seriously, but after hearing these words, her expression changed a lot.

"You just said that the reason why the bitch Zhen Huan was disliked by the emperor was all because of what you did behind her back?"

Concubine Hua did not continue with the original topic, but suddenly changed the subject and asked about the details of how Cao Qinmo dealt with Zhen Huan.

"Not bad!"

This question naturally would not stump Cao Qinmo. After all, on the way here, in addition to thinking about how to please Concubine Hua, she had also studied how to take all the credit for herself without arousing suspicion.

"Your Majesty, you don't know! That noble lady Wan has always been on good terms with the one in Xianfu Palace. Our previous plan failed because they must have noticed it long ago, so they secretly switched the dragon and the phoenix, causing us to fail. But after that incident, I'm afraid the emperor must have had a grudge in his heart. Although he gave her a title and appeased her with rewards, it was mostly just for the piece of meat in his belly..."

Cao Qinmo understood Concubine Hua and knew that she was not good at strategy.

So when she explained the interests involved to Concubine Hua, she deliberately left some parts vague and passed them over.

Before Hua Fei could think carefully, another topic raised by Cao Qinmo would directly attract her attention, making it impossible for Hua Fei to think deeply.

"What you mean is that the little bitch was just being clever and wanted to help Shen Meizhuang win back a point with the emperor, but ended up making things worse?"

Concubine Hua couldn't understand those scheming arguments, but that didn't stop her from summarizing them in a rough way.

Anyway, after listening to Cao Qinmo's story, Concubine Hua had only one thought - this matter seemed to be indeed her credit?

"Yes!"

Seeing that the big fish had been hooked, Cao Qinmo was already cheering in her heart, but she did not show it on the surface. She still behaved respectfully, as if she was putting herself in Concubine Hua's shoes.

"Never mind. I am really happy about this. Just consider it as a great achievement for you!"

When Concubine Hua thought about the days when Zhen Huan was the only one favored by the emperor, but now she could only be locked up in a remote, small and simple palace, she felt very relieved, and even the look she gave Cao Qinmo was very strange.

This is not praise, but it is not malicious either. It seems more like a thoughtful feeling after being relieved.

Cao Qinmo didn't expect Concubine Hua to say this suddenly. She had already prepared a bunch of words to increase her points, but now they were all useless.

At the same time, Cao Qinmo, who had reacted, was not at all vague, and immediately knelt down to express her gratitude, "Thank you, Madam!"

"I have always been clear about gratitude and resentment. I kept you by my side because you finally did the right thing this time."

Hua Fei said: "Like you said before, the princess is now raised in my palace, and I will naturally not treat her badly. You also want your daughter to have a good future, right? Then keep up the good work. You don't need me to give you any specific advice on what to do, right?"

Having said that, Hua Fei's tone was no longer as straightforward as before, but became profound, with a hint of arrogant smile at the corner of her mouth.

Cao Qinmo understood immediately, and then nodded quickly, "Please rest assured, Your Majesty. I know that 'cut the grass at its roots', and I will not let Your Majesty have any serious worries, but..."

"Just what?"

Concubine Hua originally thought that Cao Qinmo was very sensible and could save her a lot of worry.

But at this time, Concubine Hua also heard the unfinished meaning in Cao Qinmo's words, so she frowned and asked.

She was originally the daughter of a general. She usually behaved flamboyantly and her personality was like a fiery fire. Now, with her brows furrowed, she immediately revealed a murderous intent.
