In Yuxiu Palace, the magnificent woman wearing the flowing colorful dark flower cloud brocade palace dress had a delicate expression when she heard the news of Zhao Xu's return.

"Imperial Concubine, today's nourishing soup is ready."

Gong'e brought a cup of viscous red liquid to the table. This special soup was taken by Xia Ji every day. It was said that it was a secret recipe prescribed by the great master of the dynasty.

Xia Ji's pinky finger, which was painted with Kodan, was stained with a small drop of liquid, put it in her mouth and sipped it, then raised her eyebrows suddenly, and knocked over the whole cup of tonic soup, "Bastard! How dare you take these defective products?" Come to fool this concubine. Order someone to chop off the hands and feet of this medicated diet master and make them into human pigs, and this concubine wants to see who dares to disagree."

"No." Gong'e didn't dare to catch her breath, for fear of getting burned.

She asked again: "Where is the Second Highness?"

Gong'e said reassuringly: "Go back to the empress, the second highness just returned to the palace, the empress dowager picked him up, and it took an hour for the second highness to turn back to the palace with a solemn expression. Fu Xiang was also rescued by them."

Xia Ji said disdainfully: "He just went to the mountains to learn some superficial skills, and he didn't even reach the threshold of cultivating immortals, right? There is some truth in saying that a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers. I think this concubine is talking about that old woman. Being too polite made her think that she could deal with this concubine by bringing in a few low-level reinforcements."

She seemed to think of something again, and asked sharply: "Have you done everything I asked you to do?"

"Go back to your empress, I ordered you to go down early in the morning, and the Floating Light Peering Mirror has been secretly placed in the Zichen Palace."

Xia Ji raised the corners of her mouth and waved her hand to Gong'e, "Very well, you can go down first."

On the other side, Zhao Xu and Fu Zeye were also plotting to kill the concubine Yao.

Zhao Xu learned from his mother and concubine that this Xia Ji was brought into the palace by his brother Zhao Cong when he was hunting.

The eunuch who was present at that time recounted the events of the day of the hunt: that day his brother Zhao Cong aimed at a white fox with full bow on the hunting ground, but the fox's eyes seemed to be able to talk, looking at it with affection. Zhao Cong, so the first arrow he shot directly missed an old locust tree.

The white fox took the opportunity to flee, and Zhao Cong chased after him on a horse.

After chasing it all the way to a hidden cave, the fox disappeared without a trace.

Zhao Cong sent people to search around, and finally found a comatose beauty on the haystack deep in the cave. Regardless of the objections of the officials, he brought her back to the palace and canonized her as the imperial concubine.

Since the imperial concubine came, strange things in the palace began to happen one after another.

First, there was a palace lady who fell into the dry well of the cold palace in the middle of the night for no reason, and then there was a concubine who felt as if the roof was leaking rain in her sleep, and water droplets fell on her face. The fox was dead, its two eyeballs were bald, and its tongue was too long. That night, the concubine became insane.

Later, in order to exorcise evil spirits from the people, Zhao Cong invited the current great national teacher 'Gongqing' into the palace of the king, and the practice of this national teacher really worked.

The Jindu Palace has restored its former tranquility.

It's just that the good times didn't last long, Zhao Cong became more and more dependent on this national teacher, and began to listen to and trust, lazy to delegate power, and sing songs every night.

In the end, the national teacher was actually allowed to interfere in the court, and gradually this Xia Ji also revealed her extraordinary ambitions.

Taking advantage of her prestige as a national teacher, she snatched boys and girls everywhere among the people, saying what made them enter the palace as errands. When those poor people heard that they could enter the palace and they would still have a monthly salary in the future, they scrambled to go to the palace. Xia Ji gave it away.

Xia Ji's rhetoric was very effective, but as time went by, the common people also began to notice something was wrong. Why did the lively child go to the royal palace for so long without even bringing back a letter, let alone sending money home.

They knew that the child must be gone, but the people did not want to fight with the officials, so they had to swallow their anger.

But she didn't restrain herself, instead she became more and more mad. In the end, she didn't even bother to pretend, and directly sent officers and soldiers to search for people in each house. Those who refused to hand over their children would directly destroy the whole family.

The persecuted people have grievances and sufferings that are hard to complain.
