Ch.198 Scheming and Ambitious (4)

Thinking back about everything that had happened tonight, Qin Jiu nodded her head in an eventful way: "Fun! It was extremely interesting!"

"I even had a delicious radish cake tonight. It was charred on the outside and soft on the inside. It smelled amazing and was extremely delicious. You would have loved it. What a pity......"

She paused for a while, and then slowly continued: "It's a pity, you couldn’t have some!"

As soon as her words fell, she didn't wait for Gu Zezhi to react and ran away.

Looking at her figure from the back, as he listened to her smug laugh, Gu Zezhi's lips turned upwards, his smile was gentle, and his eyes radiated in the dim light.

With the lantern in hand, he followed along.Fôllôw new stories at novelhall.com

The silver moonlight poured down, as it softly covered the buildings, flowers and trees, the flowers and trees swayed and danced along with the night breeze, as they made rustling sounds.

Under the moonlight, in Yong An Palace, Empress Wei was talking to the emperor about Changning and Yingluo.

To put it bluntly, to build up a well known image of being weak as a girl, was not necessarily a good thing.

Empress Wei flashed a mocking smile, and then said: "Yingluo, I watched this child grow up to be the person she is now. Although she has quite an unruly temperament, she's careful. No matter how much she hates Changning, she won't do it with her own hands." Just as how she provoked Changning to hurt Jiu.

The emperor believed Empress Wei’s words.

The emperor made a fist with his right hand, and knocked on the side table twice, and said: "The children are all grown up now, and they have more thoughts going on in their minds......" The emperor's words were not just referring to Changning and Yingluo.

Empress Wei sighed: "To be frank, I didn’t handle the situation well."

Empress Wei's words were not just for show.

When Yingluo and Changning were both accusing each other for colluding with Yeluluan in the Bibo Pavillion, Empress Wei was also annoyed. Changning and Yingluo were the daughters of the royal family after all, they represented the royal family, but they stooped to such a lowdown trick, which really tarnished Daqi’s reputation.

They really brought shame upon them in front of Beiyan!

Therefore, even if Empress Wei clearly saw through the truth, she didn’t punish them immediately.

If she punished them, it would confirm that Yingluo and Changning did use such schemes, and this would embarrass Daqi even further.

But she couldn't just let the matter go that easily, so Empress Wei let them quarrel and bite at each other. She knew that the two would not let each other go, so this would be an even better way to seek justice for Jiu.

Even if the Empress didn't say it in a straightforward manner, the emperor understood her, he smiled and patted her jade-like hands that she took much care of, "Rongrong, you did right."
