Chapter 127 Diving
"Look up the palace maids who have lived with her over the years since she entered the palace, as well as the female officials who have taken care of her.
Now that we have caught the specific person, there can't be no trace at all. Do you still need me to teach you these?"
Qin Zhi said lightly.
"Your Majesty forgive me."
Huai Xu suddenly knelt down and kowtowed to apologize.
"Okay, isn't it interesting?
The thread has been buried for such a long time, there must be a purpose, don't be anxious, just wait patiently,
Let's see who is really showing off his magical powers. When the person behind the scenes can no longer hold back, we will know for ourselves."
Qin Zhi said with a smile.
Huai Xu's lips moved but he said nothing more.
Earlier, Your Majesty had muddied the waters in the harem, set out bait to fish, and calmly cleaned out the hidden stakes in the palace that had not been cleared out during the great purge that took place upon his ascension to the throne.
The last time, lily of the valley was used to lure Concubine Lin Gui, who had been in charge of the harem for many years, into taking action, and all of Concubine Lin Gui's people were captured in one fell swoop.
Huai Xu originally suspected whether the palace maid named Butterfly was a member of Concubine Lin Gui's staff. When Concubine Lin Gui wanted to use Concubine Hui's life to target the Empress Dowager and put the blame on Concubine Yi, she discovered that Butterfly and Concubine Lin Gui were not the same kind of people.
It was not until Concubine Lin Gui died that Huai Xu was completely sure that Butterfly was not Concubine Lin Gui's traitor.
If she believed that there was no one behind Butterfly, she would have no business doing this as the deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard.
After all, she couldn't be overthinking it, could she?
Whose is Butterfly?
A figure suddenly flashed through Qin Zhi's mind.
"Hahahahahahaha that's interesting. Go back. I know what you mean. You should also remember your duty."
"I will only be loyal to your majesty. If I disobey you, please call me."
Qin Zhi directly interrupted Huai Xu's oath. He didn't believe it. He only believed in his own means, power, and personal charm.
I am so confident.
"No need to do that, I trust you."
Qin Zhi chuckled and shook his head slightly, bent down, and gently helped Huai Xu up. There was sincerity in his eyes and earnestness in his voice, which moved Huai Xu deeply.
"Aunt Huaixu is also an old friend who has watched me grow up.
Clothes are never as good as new, people are never as good as old.
Aunt Huaixu has been working diligently and tirelessly for me all along. I have seen it all and kept it in mind.
Aunt Huaixu is the deputy envoy of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, but you have to travel at night. It's really hard for you.
When my aunt is old and can no longer work, I will let her retire with honor and return home, and let her return home with an imperial decree and in glory."
Qin Zhi was good at sweet talk. When he was a child, he used it to coax his grandfather and grandmother. When he grew up, he used it to coax court officials and give them some motivation. He was used to it.
We cannot let our subjects have only fear but no love.
The right way is to use both kindness and severity.
Huai Xu was filled with gratitude. His Majesty had been extraordinary since childhood. She had acknowledged His Majesty as her master and worked for Him since He was a child.
She rose from a small palace maid to the position of deputy commander of the Embroidered Uniform Guard, which was an unparalleled honor bestowed upon her by His Majesty.
Although I have been with Concubine Hui and her son for a long time, I still have some feelings for them.
But the most important reason why she followed him out secretly this time was because His Royal Highness the Fourth Prince could please His Majesty, so she paid more attention to Concubine Hui and her son.
His Majesty has already lost a son. Huai Xu doesn't know how sad His Majesty is behind his strong appearance. She only knows that His Majesty, with a good temper, has taken his anger out on many people because of this matter.
She didn't want His Majesty to be sad about the loss of his son again.
The conflict between Concubine Hui and her sister Concubine Yi was too sharp.
Concubine Yi's mother died because of Concubine Hui's mother, and Concubine Yi's Crown Prince Zhaohui was also indirectly killed because of this. This hatred cannot be resolved by anyone.
Just like the last time Concubine Lin attacked Concubine Hui, this is an obvious grudge that everyone knows about. Not only will Concubine Yi not let Concubine Hui go, but others may also use the dispute between the sisters to hide their own purposes.
