Chapter 291
Torreya found that something was not right since the Queen Empress received the note, but she could not tell what was wrong.Today, I accompanied the Queen to the Queen Mother's place to pay her respects.

"Mother, I've been here for a few days, but I haven't even gone to see Chengyu." The Queen seemed to be chatting casually with the Queen Mother.

When Emperor Qinglong brought people to the southern palace, he said that the far southwest corner across the lake is the eldest prince's resting place. No outsiders are allowed to disturb him. Of course, there is no need for the eldest prince to pick him up. As long as the eldest prince is well taken care of.

"The emperor said no, I promise, someone will take care of me." The Queen Mother didn't know what the queen wanted to do. Could it be that she wanted to use the eldest prince as a leader, pretending to be virtuous and show her motherly deeds to the world?
"Well, that's what the Queen Mother said. By the way, since the eldest prince has to take a good rest and it is not convenient to visit him, then I should meet his concubine Zhao. After all, a girl has been following him from Beijing for several years, so she should If you give her a reward, she will also have merit in taking care of the eldest prince." What the Queen said was reasonable, not to mention that she knew to ask the Queen Mother for instructions in advance.

"It's up to you." The Queen Mother couldn't say anything. Let her do whatever she wanted. She just wanted to show off her status as a queen.

When Torreya returned to the courtyard with the Queen, she suddenly realized that maybe the note from before was handed over by none other than the eldest prince's concubine Zhao.

"Go and ask someone to invite Mrs. Zhao over." The Queen ordered Torreya.

"Wait a minute, let's just say that the Queen Mother also agreed." The Queen Mother was afraid of encountering any trouble along the way, so she added.

Torreya nodded. This was a clever move. The Queen Mother did not object, but she did not directly agree to receive him now.However, Torreya didn't dare to say anything more and went straight to do the work.

The eldest prince's concubine is the niece of Concubine De, and can be regarded as the eldest prince's cousin. It seems that the two of them have a good relationship, otherwise they would not follow the eldest prince to a palace so far away from home.

"Greetings to the Queen." Mrs. Zhao is also a beauty, and she looks very well-behaved.

"Get up." The queen liked her. "You all go down first."

Suddenly, only the Queen and Mrs. Zhao were left in the room.

"Tell me the truth, why do you want to see me?" The queen didn't want to waste time.

"You should know my purpose of coming, otherwise I wouldn't have summoned my wife." Mrs. Zhao vowed.

"It's just the eldest prince who has fallen out of favor. You are so naive to want to bring down Concubine Xi despite your ability." The queen was a little disdainful.

"If you don't believe it, how could I have the chance to see the Queen today?" Mrs. Zhao chuckled, "Who said that I want to overthrow Concubine Xi?"

"How dare you play tricks on me?" the queen became angry.

Mrs. Zhao took a step forward and said in a low voice as much as possible: "Don't worry, ma'am, it's hard to bring it down, so what if Concubine Xi dies right away? How can we talk about taking it down."

The queen was startled by these words.

"If your Majesty doesn't dare, just think that I am here to receive a reward today." Mrs. Zhao returned to her original position.

The queen really didn't dare. Although she hated Concubine Xi and the prince, and wanted to have multiple princes under her name, she would not directly kill Concubine Xi.

When Zhao saw that the queen was silent, she continued: "If the empress does not dare to take her life, how about destroying her appearance?"

"Oh?" The queen said with interest.

"The eldest prince has obtained a magical medicine before. It melts when put into water and leaves no trace at all. If Concubine Xi can take it, her appearance will be completely destroyed."

Zhao started to confuse based on what she had previously discussed with the eldest prince. "Moreover, this medicine does not take effect immediately. It will take effect twelve hours after taking it. In this way, the time of taking the medicine can be better concealed."

"Are you serious?" Although the queen did not dare and did not want Concubine Xi to die, she was still willing to ruin her young and beautiful appearance.After all, looking at his aging face every day, I can't suppress the jealousy in my heart.

"My Majesty, do you dare? There is only one pill of this medicine. If your Majesty is confused and the eldest prince thinks of another way, this medicine must not be wasted."

The more Zhao emphasized, the more excited the Queen became.

"Give me the medicine and I will arrange it." The queen still succumbed to the idea of ​​destroying Concubine Xi's appearance, but she still asked carefully, "Why does the eldest prince insist on destroying Concubine Xi? What do you benefit from it?"

"Haha, of course there is. Just like you, the queen, destroy Concubine Xi, and then the water in the harem will be revitalized, and you will have the opportunity to do something else. The reasons for the eldest prince are different from yours, but the purpose is the same. You You don’t know yet, before the emperor personally went to the expedition, Concubine Xi didn’t go to pray for blessings at all, but was taken with him by the emperor.”

Mrs. Zhao was indeed cunning, her answer didn't hit the point, it just aroused the queen's jealousy.

Sure enough, the queen found out about this, and her jealousy towards Concubine Xi reached its peak.
