Queen Juan is here, run away

Hongzhu thought for a moment. When Wu Zhaoyi arrived, the words she and Zhou Yuzhen exchanged back and forth were just two cousins ​​having a dispute. She couldn't see what was interesting about it.

Hongzhu couldn't figure out what it meant, and she didn't understand why he hid for so long. Wu Zhaoyi had already left for a long time.

Lihua chased out and bumped into Concubine Zhao's movements. Concubine Qing and Hongzhu naturally heard it.

But the distance was too far and there was a rockery blocking them. They could only occasionally hear one or two of Concubine Zhao's excited words, but the rest could not be heard clearly.

But even so, Concubine Qing had no intention of leaving at that time.

Hongzhu secretly said that his master has become more and more sophisticated recently and is difficult for people to understand, but he never understands what his master is thinking.

On this special day, they made a special trip to Zhuangning Palace. Hongzhu thought that Concubine Qing went there because she was worried about the Queen Mother.

But Concubine Qing did not go to see the Queen Mother, and neither of them even came near. They only looked at the gate of Zhuang Ning Palace from a distance before leaving.

Then they walked to the rockery pavilion that resembled Jiangnan. Hongzhu secretly wondered if her master was waiting for the Long Live Lord. After all, on this special day, the emperor would most likely go to Zhuangning Palace, and he might meet him while waiting here.

It turned out that it was not the case. Concubine Qing seemed to be aimlessly wandering along the verandah and rockery, and then she met Zhou Yuzhen by chance.

Hong Zhu could finally tell that Concubine Qing was a little surprised when she saw Zhou Yuzhen.

However, Hong Zhu couldn't understand Concubine Qing's kind appreciation for Zhou Yuzhen's small promise and her reminder of the specialness of this day, as if she meant to make friends.

A series of things happened next, and every move Qing Fei made was beyond Hong Zhu's expectations. She could not guess her master's intentions at all.

At this moment, Zhaoyi was just a little kid, so why did he need to avoid his sharp edges? He seemed scared.

Hongzhu secretly sighed helplessly. Her master was not favored by the Queen Mother, and he always refused to fight or grab him. Even when he was wronged, he silently endured it.

She really wanted to persuade the Qing concubines to fight for it, lest everyone in the palace forget that their master was the head of the three concubines and the master with the highest status in the harem.

At this moment, Hongzhu looked in the direction of Concubine Qing and said, "My Lady, if they had discovered her just now..."

She wanted to persuade her that it would be better to go out. If she was found out, she would be wrong.

After all, being caught on the spot is suspected of eavesdropping, which can easily lead to misunderstandings, putting yourself at a disadvantage and fueling others' arrogance.

But before she finished speaking, Concubine Qing turned to look at her with a meaningful look, and said calmly: "It doesn't hurt if you find out, right?" Then she walked away.

Hong Zhu was startled, and suddenly realized that her master didn't care. It was not like she thought he was trying to avoid others' sharpness.

What Concubine Qing meant was that if they were bumped into by Wu Zhaoyi, they could just come out and be polite.

They were enjoying the scenery here, so what if Wu Zhaoyi bumped into them, they had nothing to lose.

So why deliberately avoid it?
A question arose in Hong Zhu's mind, and he left immediately.

After dark, Yuchi Gong came back from Cangchen Palace.

He originally wanted to go back to visit the Queen Mother earlier, but there were so many political affairs and everything was so important that he couldn't get away from it.

According to the information recovered from Liangzhou, a large number of private mines have been flowing out of the black market. The source is unknown and is still being investigated.

In the case of illegal mining of Eastern pearls and withholding of tribute during the late Emperor's reign, Yuchi Gong restarted the investigation after seeing the stolen goods that Wu Xue took back, and now he has uncovered some clues. (End of chapter)
