Quick Wear: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 223 Visiting the Cold Palace

The two entered the palace on the same day and lived in the same side hall of Ziming Palace, but their identities were completely different.

Xianxian is already a Zhaoyi and is deeply loved by the emperor, but she is just a little beauty.

Wen Changwan felt an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She looked up at Xianxian, who was as bright as the moon, and couldn't help but think of the palace people's gossip behind her back.

Many people said that they had the beauty of Concubine Zheng in the past, and would definitely be favored by His Majesty in the future.

Although Shen Zhiyi is beautiful, she has a cold and dull personality and doesn't look like she will be favored.

Those who discussed and speculated were all wrong.

Wen Changwan put away her little thoughts.

"Thanks to my sister for helping me clear my name, otherwise I would have been ruined."

"There are very few lovers in the palace. It is my sister's good fortune to meet someone as kind as my sister."

Without Xianxian's help, it would be difficult for Wen Changwan to clear herself of the charges.

Slender smiled and shook her head slightly.

"You came into the palace with me, so I know you well. How could you do such a wrong thing?"

Her voice changed with a hint of sadness.

"But there is something strange about this matter."

"I always feel that Zhou is not the real person behind the scenes. You should be more careful in the future."

In fact, Wen Changwan had the same feeling. Zhou was originally Li Guipin's person.

It was impossible that Concubine Li was unaware of the wrong things she had done.

But now Concubine Li is pregnant, and the Queen Mother and Chang Liu have to take care of the fetus in her belly.

Wen Changwan knew even more clearly that she had not yet served in the emperor's bedchamber and was now just a little beauty. How could she shake the favor of Li Guipin who had been in favor for many years?

But she said softly with a twinkle in her eyes, "It is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge."

Xianxian and Wen Changwan didn’t talk for too long. After Wen Changwan left, Bodhi lifted the curtain and came in.

"Master, the cold palace has been arranged. Shall we go there now?"

"Let's go, go early and come back early."

Everyone in the palace was staring at Concubine Li's belly, so naturally no one noticed Xianxian's movements.

The cold palace was located in the West Palace, in a remote and desolate location. Zhou was thrown here without even a palace maid to serve her.

Xianxian put a handkerchief to the tip of her nose, which barely blocked out the strange smell near the cold palace.

"Squeak."

Because Bodhi had made arrangements in advance, the guards guarding the cold palace opened the door.

"Please, Concubine Yi, the criminal Zhou is placed in the southernmost room."

Xianxian took Bodhi into the cold palace.

"Master, the guard gave us half an hour."

"Ah."

Bodhi opened the southernmost door and saw Zhou curled up on the bed.

But in just a few hours, she looked much older, with messy hair hanging behind her head and red and swollen eyes.

Zhou opened her eyes when she heard the voice.

"Why are you here? Are you here to see my joke?"

Xianxian didn't respond to her immediately.

He just looked around, it was indeed the cold palace, shabby and smelled of decay.

She motioned to Bodhi to place a scripture in front of Zhou.

"This is the Sutra of Rebirth. You can recite it more often when you have nothing to do in the cold palace. It will help the eight members of your Zhou family to be reborn in heaven."

"What did you say?"

Zhou's eyes widened in disbelief, and she immediately climbed out of bed and wanted to pounce on Xianxian.

"What do you mean?"

Unfortunately, before she could touch Xianxian, she was pushed away by Bodhi and fell to the ground.

Since the death of the second princess, Zhou has not had a single drop of water. The only reason she was able to force herself to rush towards Xianxian was because of her remaining energy.

The Buddhist beads in Xianxian's hand made a crisp sound, and she looked at Zhou with compassion.

"You are so pitiful. Don't you know that your parents and brothers have been poisoned and died?"

"Dead? How is that possible?"

"impossible!"

Zhou straightened up and clenched her teeth, "You want to cheat me? Hahaha, impossible, I will never be fooled."

She looked determined, but Xianxian noticed that Zhou's hands were shaking uncontrollably, indicating that she was skeptical about the matter.

At this time, Xianxian continued to break through her defenses.

"If you don't believe me, you can find out the information yourself."

"If you don't remove the roots, the grass will grow again in the spring breeze. How could Concubine Li keep you as a weed?"

"Not to mention that you know everything that Concubine Li has done. Allowing you and the Zhou family to continue living would be a threat to her."

"Take care of yourself, sinner Zhou."

Ignoring Zhou who was lying in a daze on the ground, she turned around and left.

Zhou came to her senses, got up and ran out of the room, shouting, "Stop, tell me, my family must be fine, they must be fine!"

Xianxian didn't look back.

Seeing the door of the cold palace closed again, Zhou felt a chill, her whole body went limp and she fell to her knees on the ground.

In order to protect his family, he let go of the hatred for the second princess's death.

Now someone tells her that her family has been silenced?

What is true?

Blood spurted out of Zhou's mouth, staining the stone in front of her red. She covered her chest tightly and groaned in pain.

Xianxian had no idea how miserable Zhou was, because what she wanted was for the palace to be even more chaotic.

"Bodhi, you did a great job this time."

Concubine Li did want to get rid of the Zhou family, but she was not prepared to act so quickly.

If she silences the witness at this time, others will think she is trying to cover up her mistake.

Therefore, Xianxian sent people to secretly poison Li Guipin in advance to help her eliminate these hidden dangers.

In this way, the suspicion on Li Guipin cannot be cleared.

Zhou would hate Li Guipin even more, and it is not clear what Zhou would do.

Xianxian is very much looking forward to it.

Due to the death of the second princess, Chang Liu did not turn over the card for three consecutive days.

Even if the cards were turned over three days later, Xianxian would still be the first one to be turned over.

However, in order to stabilize the former dynasty and the harem, Chang Liu still picked the cards in order to serve the emperor in bed, and even promoted these newcomers to higher positions.

But after that, he never summoned them again, and Xianxian started to be the only one favored by him.

Li Guipin was bedridden due to an unstable pregnancy, but she still couldn't help but inquire about the news in the palace.

Queen Wang knew her jealous nature, so she sent someone to tell her ears the news that Xianxian was the only favorite.

As expected, once Concubine Li heard the news, the palace sent someone to invite the imperial physician to protect the fetus.

In just three months, Concubine Li had lost a lot of weight and spent every day lying in bed crying.

Finally, the palace welcomed its first winter, and Chang Liu brought Xianxian a top-quality white fox cloak.

"Zhizhi, this is the white fox I hunted last year. I made a cloak out of its fur."

"You usually like plain and elegant colors, and your cape is embroidered with green plums all over."

Seeing Chang Liu's expression asking for praise, Xianxian smiled conscientiously and let Chang Liu put the cloak on her.

She ran her fingertips lightly across the fur.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

Seeing that Xianxian really liked the cloak, Chang Liu couldn't help but raise his hand and hold hers.

Chang Liu's palms were burning with vigor and vitality. He held the delicate little hand tightly with his big hand, which only felt a little cold.

"Why don't you have a hot water bottle with you? It's winter now, you can't catch a cold, or I'll be sad."

"forgotten."

Xianxian answered very naturally.

At this time Chang Liu looked towards Fu Shun.

"Hand me my hot water bottle."

Chang Liu's hot spring bottle is wrapped in bright yellow cloth with a golden dragon pattern embroidered on it, making it look very domineering.

But he stuffed the hot water bottle into Xianxian's arms.

"You are weak and can't catch a cold. Hold on to the hot water bottle."

Chang Liu said in a gentle tone, "The wintersweets in the plum garden are blooming today. I'll take you to enjoy the flowers, okay?"

Xianxian pursed her lips and nodded gently, "Okay."

It just so happens that there is a good show happening near the Plum Garden today, but I don’t know if Chang Liu can withstand the blow.
