Chapter 355: Huanbi starts to suspect Qinmo
When the news spread that the Emperor had given a horse trainer to Prince Guo in marriage, the person who could not accept it the most was Huanbi. As for Zhen Huan, although she now had some interactions with Prince Guo, it was not too much.
Besides, Zhen Huan was now busy overthrowing the Queen and Concubine Nian to avenge her child, so after hearing the news, she was a little surprised, but she didn't have any other thoughts.
When Prince Guo carefully comforted her before, Huanbi fell deeply in love with Prince Guo.
She had always felt that she was just a maid, and she dared not even think about marrying a prince. She thought that she was not worthy of a man of such noble status, so she only admired Prince Guo in her heart.
But now the emperor was actually willing to give him a horse trainer of lowly status, which gave her great extravagant hopes. After all, she was a personal maid of a concubine. Wasn't her status higher than that of a horse trainer?
If she could make contributions like this horse trainer, perhaps she would have the opportunity to marry into the royal palace.
She also figured it out. The fighting in the palace was so intense. Even a smart person like her elder sister lost her child. People of noble status like the imperial concubine and the Sixth Prince were almost killed. After seeing so much, she realized that it would not be easy for someone like her, who did not have outstanding looks and family background, to gain favor.
It would be better to change her mindset. Now there is only this horse trainer in the prince's mansion. If she can also be given to the prince by the emperor, and then find a way to gain the prince's favor in the future, her mother may not be able to use this opportunity to enter the ancestral hall of the Zhen Mansion.
Huanbi's goal from the beginning to the end was to become the legitimate second lady of the Zhen family, to call the master "Dad" and the empress "Elder Sister" openly, and to have her mother's spirit tablet enshrined in the ancestral hall.
In order to achieve this goal, she even betrayed her elder sister, but fortunately nothing happened at that time.
Of course, she was also bewitched and deceived by Concubine Cao, and she didn't realize that if her eldest sister lost favor, they would also suffer from nothing.
Now think about it, if Concubine Cao could make her gain the emperor's favor, why would she still be just a concubine until now?
As for Concubine Nian, it is even more impossible. Everyone knows that Concubine Nian is the most jealous and she wishes that the emperor would only favor her. He can't even tolerate his own sister, so how could he tolerate her?
"Huanbi?"
Zhen Huan called out, but when she saw that Huanbi didn't respond, she couldn't help but frown.
"What's wrong with you?"
"My lady, I was distracted just now. What do you want me to do?"
Huanbi finally came to her senses and looked at Zhen Huan and asked with a smile.
"I always feel that the Queen is behind this matter of Sixth Prince. Apart from the Queen, I'm afraid no one else in the palace has such a meticulous mind."
Seeing this, Zhen Huan did not argue with Huanbi about the matter, but continued to speak.
"The Imperial Concubine has helped me a lot before. Now that Sixth Prince has encountered such a big incident, I naturally cannot just sit there and wait for death. I must help investigate it thoroughly."
"Yes, the imperial concubine has indeed helped you a lot."
"Moreover, if we can find evidence that this matter is related to the Queen, I think the Emperor will not let her off easily, and he will be able to vent his anger for us."
Huanbi looked at Zhen Huan with agreement and nodded.
"Tell Xiao Yunzi to check if there is anyone familiar with Xiao Luzi in the Imperial Concubine's Palace. It would be best if you can find someone who has contacted Xiao Luzi."
Zhen Huan thought about it and decided to start from the small way. After all, since this small way was to do things for the Queen, a middleman would always be needed. It was impossible for someone like the Queen to do these things herself.
Fu Cha Zhixi was also thinking carefully about where to start the investigation.
After all, it now seems that the person behind the scenes has thought of this plan very thoroughly and did not leave any loopholes for the other party.
"Have you investigated this little path? Does he have any relatives?"
After all, there are only two ways to get someone to do something: either by coercion or by inducement.
"Your Majesty, I have checked and found that Xiao Luzi has no relatives. He was sold into the palace. I have also searched the place where Xiao Luzi lived but did not find any extra money or jewelry."
Chai Zhengxin frowned and looked at Fu Cha Zhixi and spoke.
"This is quite strange. Is this little Luzi so loyal to the queen?"
Fu Cha Zhixi doesn't believe this kind of thing, there must be a reason behind it.
"Your Majesty, we don't have any evidence right now. Maybe this wasn't done by the Queen, but by someone else?"
Suqin pursed her lips, but still took the initiative to stand up and look at Fucha Zhixi and speak.
"Are you saying that the Queen used someone else to do this?"
"But the Queen only has Concubine Nian and Concubine Chun under her command. These two people don't seem to be capable of setting up such a plan. Even if they have the Queen's support, it is unlikely that this was their work."
“It’s a bit like that.”
Fu Cha Zhixi's eyes narrowed, and she suddenly realized that she seemed to have overlooked a poisonous snake.
Cao Qinmo!
If such a plan came from her, it would be very possible, but why did Cao Qinmo attack Fu Zhen?
She only has one princess now, and the possibility of her getting pregnant and giving birth to a prince in the future is too low. She can't possibly take action against her Sixth Prince for that illusory prince.
Fu Cha Zhixi couldn't understand why Cao Qinmo did this and what benefit would it bring to her.
Cao Qinmo's only weakness is Wen Yi. Could it be that someone is using Wen Yi to threaten her?
"Go check for me if there is anything strange going on with Concubine Cao during this period."
Fu Cha Zhixi raised his eyes and looked at Chai Zhengxin and said.
"It's your Majesty, I'll go right away."
Chai Zhengxin looked at Fu Cha Zhixi in surprise, but did not say much. He just agreed to the matter honestly.
"Your Majesty, are you suspicious of Concubine Cao?"
After Chai Zhengxin left, Yu Hu couldn't help but ask.
"But why would Concubine Cao do this? She only has one princess. What good would it do for her to harm our Sixth Prince?"
"I don't know, but if it was really her doing, it must be related to Princess Wen Yi."
Here, Cao Qinmo couldn't help but reveal a gentle smile as she looked at the little bellyband she had embroidered.
Her Wen Yi will be back to her soon.
"The young master loves the princess so much, the princess will surely return to her majesty soon."
Yinxiu smiled and looked at Cao Qinmo and said.
