The beauty of this palace will kill you in minutes

Chapter 95
On the second day, Empress Zhao asked Nanny Gu to come into the palace to speak.

"Empress, Mother Gu is here!" The palace maid went in to report.

"Show her in!" Queen Zhao put down her teacup and raised her eyes slightly.

As soon as Nanny Gu entered Kunning Palace, she immediately knelt down and made a big salute, claiming that she had seen the empress.

"No courtesy!" Empress Zhao signaled the maid to set up a stool for Nanny Gu, and when she sat upright, she said, "I called you here to ask, how many people are there in Prince Hui's mansion?"

Nanny Gu gathered herself together and began to speak in detail.

Empress Zhao listened intently, and interrupted Nanny Gu when she heard it halfway, "It's also a coincidence that when the Guanghua Temple caught fire, King Hui and Cheng Changshi were in the temple, and Doctor Liu was also not far from the temple. The guards are here too."

Is this suspicion that the prince played tricks on the Guanghua Temple fire incident?Nanny Gu became panicked, knelt down and said, "The Queen's Majesty knows that our prince is a kind and honest person."

Empress Zhao looked at Nanny Gu coldly and said, "Why did King Hui choose to go to Guanghua Temple that day? Who is the person who planned for him behind the scenes?"

When Nanny Gu heard this, a cold sweat broke out on her back.

Empress Zhao looked down at Nanny Gu with a commanding look in her eyes.

Nanny Gu took a deep breath to calm herself down, kowtowed and said, "Empress, this old slave doesn't know anything."

Empress Zhao stood up, walked around Nanny Gu, and said with a sneer, "You don't know, but Xia Fei must know."

Nanny Gu's heart trembled: Could it be that Miss Xia bribed the monks from Guanghua Temple to set the fire on her own in order to help the prince prove his identity?If not, how could Ms. Xia arrange everything in advance, as if she knew that Guanghua Temple would catch fire.

Is the queen empress going to expose the events of that day and punish Miss Xia?
Empress Zhao sat back on her chair and said, "Now that the imperial decree of granting marriage has been issued, it cannot be withdrawn suddenly. What do you think should be done?"

Nanny Gu lowered her head and replied: "Everything, listen to the empress's arrangement!"

Empress Zhao's tone was a little gentler, "I am King Hui's aunt, and I don't want him to marry someone who is not. But it is too late to change the princess."

Nanny Gu knew that she had to show her attitude, so she said, "The Empress has orders, and she dares not to obey."

Empress Zhao stared at Nanny Gu, and said for a long while: "You have set up a method to prevent Xia Fei from getting pregnant after entering the palace. The palace will hold down the matter of Guanghua Temple for the time being. You don't need to tell King Hui about this matter."

Half an hour later, Nanny Gu came out of Kunning Palace, and quickly returned to Prince Hui's Mansion in a sedan chair.

Mistress Cui welcomed Nanny Gu into the mansion, and seeing her pale face, she asked, "What's wrong, Nanny?"

Nanny Gu said: "It's a little stuffy in the sedan chair, it's just that I feel a little uncomfortable! It'll be fine when you catch your breath."

Miss Cui didn't take it seriously, she helped her into the room, poured water for her, and then left.

Nanny Gu drank water, changed her clothes, sat on the bed, her whole body was still shaking.Since the empress suspects that the Guanghua Temple fire incident is related to Miss Xia, why not punish her directly?
That's right, the empress is going to use this trick to restrain Miss Xia and let Miss Xia use it for her.As for preventing Miss Xia from getting pregnant, what is the purpose?

In the previous dynasties, there was also a case where the prince adopted a son from the princess, and later the son ascended the throne.

Could it be that the Empress wants Concubine Hui to adopt the son of Princess Baibao as her son, so that she can help her grandson ascend to the throne in the future?
