Steal my marriage? Turn around and marry the tyrant to take the throne

Chapter 816 Wu Zhaodi's Life

Handan had previously thought that the Queen had set this trap for Concubine Zhuang just to give her a hard time.

Unexpectedly, everything the Queen did was to prevent Concubine Zhuang from climbing to the position of the Four Concubines again.

She couldn't help but look at Shen Zhinian and asked, "Madam, how did you know that Concubine Zhuang would have a chance to come back to power, and how did you prepare a plan in advance?"

Shen Zhinian smiled but said nothing.

Of course, it was because at this time in the previous life, the Great Zhou and the Xiongnu went to war, and the military advisor was also from the Zhuang family. In addition, the situation in the court was unstable, and the emperor soon reinstated Master Zhuang.

In the previous life, Concubine Zhuang was not demoted, and Liu Shiqing was still alive as a noble concubine. As a concubine, she was the most popular in the harem, even overshadowing Concubine Liu.

Since Shen Zhinian knew how things were going to turn out, how could he not prepare a response plan in advance?

This was the great gift she gave to Concubine Zhuang!

However, Shen Zhinian couldn't say anything about his rebirth, so he said, "It doesn't matter how I knew about it. What matters is that we won this battle again!"

Hearing this, Handan did not ask any more questions, but just sighed: "Just like what the queen said, although Concubine Zhuang was cleared of the suspicion of poisoning Concubine Hao, she completely lost the trust of the emperor. I don't know whether she gained more or lost more."

Shen Zhinian shook her head: "The Zhuang family has trained Concubine Zhuang to be a queen since she was young. For her, a clean reputation is probably more important than anything else."

"Whether it's worth it or not, I'm afraid only she knows it in her heart."

Handan curled her lips: "Standards for a queen."

"I feel that the Zhuang family has gone too far. It would be better to train Concubine Zhuang according to the Queen Mother's standards."

"If she were older, I'm afraid people would mistake her for the Empress Dowager when they see her."

Fuqiu couldn't help but burst out laughing.

Handan's words are really harmful to people!

Xiao Mingzi bent over and smiled, "Now everyone in the palace is saying that Concubine Zhuang has been cleared of suspicion, and His Majesty will definitely restore her position. Changchun Palace should think so too."

"If Concubine Zhuang keeps waiting, even if the wooden fish is almost broken, and still can't get the emperor's order to restore her position..."

Handan sneered: "That will be fun."

"But Concubine Zhuang deserves it!"

……

Changchun Palace.

Ruoli looked at Concubine Zhuang, who was kneeling on the futon and beating the wooden fish with her eyes closed. Her eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles. She said excitedly, "Your Majesty, everything is just as you expected!"

“You hold Wu Yaozu in your palm, so the Wu family will not dare to disobey you.”

"She was sentenced to death by His Majesty. Once she dies, there will be no evidence to prove the crime. From now on, no one will dare to blame you for Concubine Hao's death!"

While knocking on the wooden fish, Concubine Zhuang said, "The poisoning of Concubine Hao had nothing to do with me. I am just trying to get things back to their original track."

"Yes Yes Yes!"

Ruoli nodded and said, "Your Majesty knows that what Wu cares about most is her useless brother, so she helped her. It's really kind of her to help her!"

"She sacrificed her life to ensure her brother's safety. Wu can now go on her journey with peace of mind. Only the queen would let the people of the Zhuang family travel thousands of miles to Ningguta to help her."

Concubine Zhuang chanted "Amitabha" and sighed, "I have always regarded Wu as my sister. She wants to protect Wu Yaozu, so of course I have no choice but to follow her."

Ruoli said with a smile: "Your Highness, I will go to the gate of Changchun Palace and wait there first. I believe the imperial decree to restore you as Consort Liang will be delivered soon!"

Although Concubine Zhuang didn't say anything, she smiled and agreed with Ruoli's approach.

But who knows...

Ruoli waited and waited until the sun set and the moon climbed up into the night sky, but no one came to the Yangxin Palace.

She had no choice but to go back to the inner room to serve Concubine Zhuang.

Fearing that Concubine Zhuang was in a bad mood, Ruoli hurriedly comforted her: "Your Majesty, don't think too much. His Majesty must be busy with government affairs and hasn't thought about this yet. Maybe... maybe tomorrow, the imperial edict will be delivered..."

Concubine Zhuang said gently, "I know your majesty is very busy with government affairs, so I will naturally understand."

She said this, but her slightly furrowed brows still revealed Concubine Zhuang's uneasiness...

She and His Majesty grew up together and know each other quite well.

The Zhuang family's military advisor has made great contributions, and the court also needs my father to stabilize the situation. If Wu takes all the blame on herself at this time, His Majesty will definitely step down.

The facts were just as she had guessed.

Your Majesty did not investigate the matter thoroughly, but convicted Wu. If that was the case, how could Your Majesty have no reaction to her?

Concubine Zhuang didn't understand where the problem lay.

However, this was only the first day, and Concubine Zhuang remained calm and did not lose her composure.

Ruoli asked, "Your Majesty, you have saved Wu Yaozu's life as promised, and you have done your best for Wu. Do you really want to arrange for Tan'er to leave the palace early?"

"Now that the power of the six palaces is in the hands of Concubine Chen, she might deliberately make things difficult for you. Why do you have to spend so much time and effort for a palace maid?"

Tan'er knew all the dealings between Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Wu.

When Ruoli mentioned her, a cold light flashed in Concubine Zhuang's eyes!

She gently used the lid to skim off the foam in the teacup and said nonchalantly, "Although Sister Wu was only a maid before, she was also a legitimate official lady. How do you get used to being alone underground?"

Ruoli understood what Concubine Zhuang meant and lowered her head and said, "Your Majesty is so thoughtful for Wu."

"Don't worry, I will send Tan'er down to serve Wu, so she won't be alone on the journey!"

Concubine Zhuang closed her eyes reluctantly: "Tan'er is loyal to Sister Wu. I asked her to come to Changchun Palace to work before, but she was not happy. She must want to continue to serve Sister Wu. In this case, I will just keep their master-servant relationship intact."

……

Cold palace.

Wu held a cup of poisoned wine in her hand, thinking back on her short life.

Her name is Wu Zhaodi.

As the name suggests, the parents of five daughters, including her, finally gave birth to a son!

Family members always said that she was blessed to have a younger brother!

But from childhood to adulthood, Wu Zhaodi did not enjoy any benefits from this blessing.

All the good things in the house belong to Yaozu.

Her four sisters didn't think there was anything wrong with this, and neither did she.

When she was a child, Wu Zhaodi didn't understand what her name meant.

It was not until she grew up and went out to attend banquets that she gradually began to understand something from the noble ladies' words, as they all looked down on her sisters.

It turns out that only couples in remote areas would give their daughters a name like "Zhao Di".
