The wronged female supporting role made a comeback with a divine reply

Chapter 148 Entering the palace to express gratitude

Wang Jinnian was slightly surprised: "How could Madam Xu believe him so easily?"

"But judging from the outcome, if Xu Zhen hadn't died, she would have married Cheng Jiayu and become a burden on his career. Would His Majesty still use him?"

Wang Jinnian nodded: "Yes, I will check it again."

He Anyu suddenly sneered: "What's the use? As long as Concubine Xu is here, His Majesty will not touch the Xu family at all."

Wang Jinnian didn't say anything, but Bai Zhaozhao had some understanding: "Maybe it's not because of Concubine Xu, but the matter of Xu Zhen is not serious in the eyes of the emperor. General Xu is at most a lax family manager. Severe punishment of the Xu family will cause the court to lose balance."

Wang Jinnian praised: "Yes, perhaps your majesty is waiting for the right time!"

Bai Zhaozhao's eyes lit up. It was indeed so. To break the balance, one must create a new balance. Perhaps the emperor in the original novel did not expect that Cheng Jiayu's family would become the only one in power in the end!

Then Wang Jinnian asked, "Zhao Zhao, why were you injured when you were in Prince An's Mansion?"

Bai Zhaozhao was stunned for a moment before she realized that Wang Jin was talking about the time when she was controlled by the plot and bit the corner of her mouth until it bled.

He Anyu asked in surprise: "Are you injured?"

Bai Zhaozhao explained the matter of changing clothes again, and then said: "I didn't want to pay attention to Su Ling's questioning, and I accidentally bit the corner of my mouth."

He Anyu was unhappy: "Is she biting people because she is desperate?"

Bai Zhaozhao took the opportunity to ask, "Did she really encounter great difficulties?"

He Anyu sneered: "This is not a big deal. Recently, the Jinyiwei who has been keeping an eye on Prince Rui reported that Princess Rui intends to marry Su Ling to the commander."

Wang Jinnian: "Marry Xiao Ce?"

Bai Zhaozhao: "Why are the Jinyiwei keeping an eye on Prince Rui?"

He Anyu didn't understand why Bai Zhaozhao's focus was different from others, but he still explained: "The prince of Rui secretly mined minerals. Although the emperor didn't pursue it, he should keep a closer eye on it, right?"

Bai Zhaozhao nodded. That was true. The Jinyiwei were the emperor’s eyes, and they would keep an eye on wherever something happened.

Wang Jinnian figured it out: "It seems that this is also what the prince meant. He is afraid of losing the emperor's grace. It's really unnecessary!"

Bai Zhaozhao became interested again: "Uncle Master, what do you mean?"

Wang Jinnian ignored her and said to He Anyu, "When are you leaving?"

Bai Zhaozhao realized it later and said, "Departure? Where to?"

He Anyu patted her shoulder and said, "I have to go to the south to do some work. I will leave at dawn. You have to be good and don't cause trouble. Practice your martial arts well and strive to become a grandmaster as soon as possible. If there is anything you can't solve, go to your third uncle. Do you understand?"

Bai Zhaozhao: ...coaxing a child? But I'm so happy, Master He just cares about me!

"Don't worry, Uncle Master. How could I cause any trouble? Just go with peace of mind!"

He Anyu: ...I am not very reassured.

Wang Jinnian said with a hint of disdain: "She doesn't cause trouble, but she's too much trouble. I think you should just take her away so she doesn't bother me every day."

Bai Zhaozhao: ...I'm not happy. There is someone who dislikes me.

"Third Master, the one hundred kilograms of insanity powder was a waste after all!"

Wang Jinnian: "Oh, really? My hundreds of golden needles..."

"Third Uncle! I was just kidding!"

It was not until he returned to Showa Garden that Bai Zhaozhao understood what Wang Jinnian had said. The prince must have wanted to test the emperor by allowing Su Ling to marry Xiao Ce, but the emperor had never thought of shaking his position as prince.

As for the Holy Grace, as long as the Queen is there, the Holy Grace will be there. After all, they are a young couple who have been together for many years, and this cannot be shaken by a mere Concubine Xu.

Concubine Xu was more like a shield and the ceiling of the harem struggles.

Even the third prince is actually very transparent in the court. This is because apart from his family background, he has no advantages and his talents are very mediocre. The emperor's favor is more like a whetstone prepared for the prince.

So he was called a puppet by Cheng Jiayu in the original work.

Wang Jinnian must have seen through these things, which is why he said that the prince's actions were completely unnecessary.

On this day, Princess An brought Bai Zhaozhao into the palace. She was conferred the title of County Princess, so naturally she had to go to the palace to express her gratitude.

Emperor Yongkang seemed very kind. He praised Bai Zhaozhao a few words, gave her some rewards, and then waved his hand to let her leave.

Since the Queen Mother had sent word that there was no need to pay a visit, Princess An took Bai Zhaozhao to the Queen's palace.

The queen looked at Bai Zhaozhao for a long time before she said, "This child has beautiful eyebrows and eyes. She is prettier than I was when I was young."

Princess An said politely, "Your Highness, what are you talking about? When you were young, you were the most beautiful woman in the capital!"

The queen laughed: "Alright, what's the point of being the most beautiful woman? It's been so many years!"

After a few pleasantries, the queen finally got to the point. The general meaning was that Bai Lin had made great contributions in Yuzhou and had a bright future, but he must not be proud and complacent. In addition, she hoped that Bai Zhaozhao would be careful in what he said and did, and she would find an opportunity to introduce a young talent to Bai Zhaozhao later.

However, Bai Zhaozhao did not respond and was blocked by Princess An, who said that the young talent should be kept for the time being and she wanted Bai Zhaozhao to stay with her for two more years.

The queen just responded indifferently and sent the guest away.

Bai Zhaozhao knew that the Queen was concerned about Bai Lin and Prince An's revelation of the Lu County incident, which had caused Prince Rui to suffer a great loss. But after all, the Crown Prince was unaware of the situation, and the Queen felt guilty, so she did not make things difficult for her.

When passing by the Imperial Garden, a woman in gorgeous clothes came towards them. She had a pretty face and exquisite dress. Behind her was a group of palace servants. It seemed that they came specifically for Bai Zhaozhao.

A strong intuition told Bai Zhaozhao that this person had ill intentions.

Sure enough, Princess An whispered, "This is Princess Changxing."

Soon, Princess Changxing came in front of them and saluted Princess An, saying, "Hello, aunt. This is Princess Zhaohe, right?"

Bai Zhaozhao suppressed the hatred in his heart and bowed, saying, "Greetings, Princess."

It’s a pity that Bai Zhaozhao has no so-called memory of her past life. She only knew about Princess Changxing in the original book, which said that she was an ambitious and ruthless woman.

Princess Changxing did not respond, but just looked at Bai Zhaozhao repeatedly. It was Princess An who spoke up, "If the princess is okay, we mother and daughter will leave the palace."

Princess Changxing then managed a smile and said, "Don't worry, auntie. I feel very close to Princess Zhaohe and would like to invite her to the palace to chat more often. What do you think, auntie?"

Princess An said calmly, "Zhaohe is a commoner girl, and she doesn't know much about the rules of the palace, so I won't bother the princess."

After saying this, Princess An left without giving any face at all. Bai Zhaozhao followed closely behind her, but a palace maid behind Princess Changxing stretched out her foot.

Bai Zhaozhao was quick to act and stepped on it directly. The palace servant's face was distorted with pain but he dared not make a sound.

When Princess Changxing saw this scene, she looked at Bai Zhaozhao and successfully saw the disdain in the other's eyes, which made her feel angry. It turned out to be just as Su Ling said, he was a disgusting person!
