Of course, she did not know Concubine Jing’s plan. She only told Su Xiaoxiao the truth. She saw Concubine Jing talking to Guo Lingxi with an unfamiliar man.
That was enough. How could Su Xiaoxiao not guess that Guo Lingxi had been used?
If Guo Lingxi hadn’t hesitated for a moment, Su Xiaoxiao would have thrown her into the woodshed.
Su Xiaoxiao said, “Do you want to know Consort Jing’s true goal?”
Guo Lingxi frowned. “What do you mean?”
Su Xiaoxiao raised her eyebrows. “There, they’re here.”
The few of them retreated behind the tree.
A young eunuch walked over with a tall man who was as tall as pine.
Guo Lingxi recognized him at a glance. ‘Wei Ting?”
Wait, why was Wei Ting here?
Wasn’t it Yuwen Lin?
“Where’s my Madam?” Wei Ting asked.
The young eunuch said, “Madam Wei suddenly has a stomachache and feels
Guo Lingxi was puzzled. “They didn’t go to the woodshed. They went to the courtyard there.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “I have nothing to do with Concubine Jing. Do you really think Concubine Jing will scheme against me? Believe it or not, if you bring me into the woodshed and lock me up, I’ll immediately be knocked out and thrown into that courtyard. There’s smoke in the house in the courtyard. When Wei Ting is drugged, she’ll put the two of you on the same bed and let the Western Jin Emperor catch you in the act.”
“Who in the Great Zhou doesn’t know your feelings for Wei Ting? They also know that Wei Ting has always rejected you clearly. If something really happens, no one will think that Wei Ting kidnapped you. They will only think that you used medicine to scheme against Wei Ting.”
Guo Lingxi broke out in cold sweat.
Su Xiaoxiao continued, “Of course, Consort Jing also underestimated Wei Ting.
Wei Ting won’t fall for it.”
As expected, the young eunuch asked Wei Ting to enter, but Wei Ting did not.
Then, Wei Ting threw the young eunuch in.
Guo Lingxi muttered, “So… it wouldn’t have worked.”
Su Xiaoxiao said, “It would have worked if it were another man. Anyway, according to the original plan, if you were unconscious inside and Wei Ting left, Concubine Jing could still find another man.”
Guo Lingxi gritted her teeth. “d.a.m.n it! I’m going to expose her for having an affair!”
Su Xiaoxiao glanced at her. “So you believed her scheme because you b.u.mped into her weakness? Wake up, there’s no adulterer at all. They were acting for you! Believe it or not, if you complain to the imperial court, he can take off his pants and prove that he’s a eunuch!”
Guo Lingxi was stunned.
Consort Jing grew up in the Northen Yan Imperial Palace. With an opponent like Zhao Kangning and infighting all day, her level of scheming was much higher than Guo Lingxi’s.
Su Xiaoxiao did not look at the devastated Guo Lingxi. What she really cared about was if Consort Jing was really just targeting Guo Lingxi. Su Xiaoxiao walked out and saw Wei Ting. “I’ll tell you about it later.”
Wei Ting looked at Guo Lingxi and her servant behind her. “Okay.”
The group returned to Chong Ming Hall.
The Western Jin Emperor had already arrived. Concubine Jing sat in the seat slightly below him.
The hall was filled with singing and dancing.
Seeing Su Xiaoxiao, Wei Ting, and Guo Lingxi enter safely, a trace of surprise and disappointment flashed across Consort Jing’s eyes. She quickly lowered her eyes to hide her emotions.
Guo Lingxi glared at her coldly and sat down on the other side of the Western Jin Emperor.
Everyone could feel Guo Lingxi’s hatred for Concubine Jing, but no one suspected anything. After all, the relationship between the Great Zhou and Northern was like fire and water. The two of them were both princesses and wanted to fight for favor. It was normal for them to not like each other.
The banquet continued.
After the swaying dancers finished dancing, the candlelight in the hall was suddenly extinguished. A group of men wearing ghost masks, red robes, and holding torches rushed in.
This was a man’s prayer dance.
Darkness, torches, ghost faces, wide robes like blood… It was filled with a mysterious and forbidden aura.
Everyone was entranced, including the three little ones who were eating candied hawthorn.
“Wow.”
They had never seen such a strange dance. They watched intently and even forgot to eat the candied hawthorn.
Everyone focused on admiring the dance and stopped what the were doing. Everyone was deeply shocked and could not recover for a long time.
The dancer’s figure was a little familiar. When the Western Jin Emperor praised the dance, he bowed and took off his mask. Who else could it be but Feng Xiaoran?
Everyone looked at Yuwen Xi.
Yuwen Xi frowned. “I didn’t arrange it.”
In fact, ever since she abandoned Feng Xiaoran in the imperial study last time, Feng Xiaoran had never interacted with her again.
Feng Xiaoran cupped his fists and bowed. “It was a prayer dance for Your
Majesty and the Western Jin. In addition, I want to offer an immortal pill to Your Majesty.”
“Oh?” The Western Jin Emperor was interested.
Eunuch He personally walked down the steps.
Feng Xiaoran handed a Great Nourishment Pill that he had placed in a brocade box to his Eunuch He.
The Western Jin emperor also thought that Yuwen Xi had arranged it. He looked at Yuwen Xi in admiration, and Yuwen Xi frowned.
Feng Xiaoran smiled and said, “Now, please allow me to give His Majesty one last big gift.”
“There’s more?” On account of the Immortality Pill, the Western Jin Emperor was more amiable to Feng Xiaoran.
Feng Xiaoran took out a portrait from his wide sleeve and opened it in public.
Everyone looked over.
Wei Ting’s eyes darkened.
Yuwen Lin curled his lips and said, “What? Isn’t this Mr. Zhuge’s portrait? But you seem to have made him fatter.”
Feng Xiaoran sneered and glanced at Zhuge Qing in the wheelchair.. “Your Highness, the person in the portrait is not Zhuge Qing, but the second son of the Wei family… Wei Qing!”
