"I have a very keen sense of smell." Yun Xiyue didn't actually know Zeng Rou's scheme at first; she just felt that Zeng Rou must have a big move up her sleeve after hiding it for so long.
She could use the Empress Dowager to plant people around the Emperor.
That would definitely allow them to be placed in the Jiaofang Palace as well.
Even in the inner palace, she was not as well-known as the Empress Dowager.
She couldn't use the child as bait. "When she came to pay her respects, I could smell the musky scent on her."
"I figured she wouldn't carry things around openly, so I instructed someone to investigate secretly."
She received the accurate news from Granny Cao when she was pretending to have miscarriage.
"At that time, I didn't know she was soaking her clothes in musk..."
So they made preparations in advance and switched her hairpin.
He knew everything about the jewelry and other items worn by the concubines in the imperial harem, so he knew it would be easy to have them copied.
Murong Yu admired her courage and decisiveness after hearing this. "Now that Zeng Rou is dead, the harem should be more stable. You should take good care of yourself during your pregnancy."
Yun Xiyue nodded. "Mm."
"Your Majesty, please go about your business! I will protect the child."
Unusual activity has occurred in Qizhou.
If not handled properly, it can cause a lot of trouble.
Murong Yu kissed her forehead. "Alright, you can handle all the affairs of the harem, but don't push yourself too hard."
"Yes. I know. Is there any news about Shen Yue and Lin Bao'er right now?"
Yun Xiyue could not rest easy until they died.
Murong Yu's eyes darkened slightly. "Not yet. Nan Yin and Yingzi have been gone for so long, but there's still no accurate news."
"If there's no news, ask your father for help."
Unless absolutely necessary, Yun Xiyue did not want to use the Yun family's power, as exposing even a little bit would increase the danger.
Murong Yu nodded. "Okay."
The disturbances in Qizhou have implicated the Yun family.
Yunnan Shengdu was worried about his daughter, so he took the initiative to go to the palace to find Murong Yu.
......
The Zeng family held a funeral.
Upon arriving in Qizhou, Zeng Xiao received news of his sister's death.
"General Zeng, now is not the time to consider personal grudges."
"Please consider the bigger picture. I believe the Emperor wouldn't order Rou Pin's execution without a reason," Xiao Dingquan stopped him.
“If you go back now, it will definitely affect the overall situation.”
The deployment of troops was prepared in advance.
This time in Qizhou, the opponent was a veteran general who had once fought bravely in the Great Xia Dynasty, as well as a group of his new young generals.
The strength cannot be underestimated.
The Emperor has arranged for the three of them to suppress the unrest in Qizhou, and no changes are permitted.
"General Zeng, please reconsider," the eldest son of Chu also advised.
Zeng Xiao's face was gloomy, and he gripped the horse's reins tightly.
"That was my only sister."
Everyone: "..."
......
"Your Majesty, General Zeng Xiao has returned home. He has left with his troops at the most critical moment, leaving Qizhou City."
"Now that Qizhou City has fallen and been captured by the rebels, General Lu, who was defending the city, was killed."
By the time the news reached Beijing, Zeng Xiao had almost returned.
"You bastard! Who let you come back?"
General Zeng led his men out of the city ahead of time. When they encountered Zeng Xiao, he couldn't help but knock him off his horse, shouting, "Qizhou City has fallen! General Lu has been killed!"
"You have made a grave mistake."
