Quick Wear: The Female Supporting Character's Counterattack

Chapter 220 Wildcat Bureau

Xianxian pulled a handkerchief out of her sleeve.

"I suspect someone wants to cut my face."

The Queen Mother frowned slightly and sent someone to find the imperial physician. Sure enough, she found an unusual smell on the handkerchief and that the wild cat had been drugged.

The handkerchiefs were soaked in catnip and the wild cats were fed aphrodisiacs.

Someone deliberately set up a trap against Xianxian in order to disfigure her.

At this time, the nanny came back with two eunuchs, who were holding a cage in their hands.

"Reporting to the Queen Mother, I found a cage in the lake not far from where Concubine Yi was attacked by a wild cat."

The Queen Mother took a deep breath and said angrily, "These women are really restless. Investigate them for me."

No one would suspect Xianxian because the scene was too dangerous.

If a wild cat scratches your face, it is very likely to leave a scar, and the wild cat may be carrying madness.

Eventually, the Queen Mother targeted Concubine Zhou because she liked to go to the cold palace and often fed the wild cats there.

When Concubine Zhou was brought to the Cining Palace, Queen Wang and Chang Liu also came.

The Queen Mother glanced coldly at Queen Wang.

"The last incident has not yet been resolved, Queen, you should just wait and see today."

"Taking care of the harem is not just about taking care of it. It is the queen's duty to use both kindness and force to find clues and find out the truth, and not let go of anyone who stirs up trouble."

The princess that the Queen Mother chose for Chang Liu was not the current Wang, but another dignified and virtuous lady from an aristocratic family.

However, when the princess was being chosen, the woman inexplicably fell into the water and drowned.

The position of Princess Changliu finally fell to Wang.

Queen Wang said nothing, but bowed respectfully.

"I understand."

The Queen Mother looked down at Concubine Zhou and asked, "I heard that you like to feed wild cats near the cold palace?"

It was obvious that Concubine Zhou didn't know what was going on, and there was still a bit of confusion and puzzlement on her face.

She was burning paper for her second princess when suddenly the empress dowager sent people to take her to the Cining Palace. Concubine Zhou was completely out of her mind.

Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Zhou liked cats.

She naturally didn't deny it.

"I will indeed feed the wild cats."

The Queen Mother snorted coldly and said, "Very good. Then do you know that the wild cat that attacked Concubine Yi tonight was caused by the wild cat you fed?"

"How dare you be so bold? How dare you kill a concubine!"

During the day, the second princess of Concubine Zhou had just died, but at night she was accused of murdering a concubine.

After hearing the explanation, Concubine Zhou was shocked.

"Empress Dowager, I did feed the wild cats near the cold palace."

"But I have no grudge against Concubine Yi, so why would I want to harm her, or make such a plan that is full of loopholes?"

There were indeed many loopholes. Everyone in the palace knew that Concubine Zhou loved cats and she often fed wild cats out of kindness.

Wouldn't it be a direct exposure if you used wild cats to make a fuss?

The Queen Mother raised her hand and motioned for the nanny to bring the things up.

There was some powder on the tray, and Mammy pointed at the powder and explained.

"This thing is the cattail grass found in Concubine Zhou's palace, as well as some medicines for making fragrant incense."

"These drugs were mixed into the Second Princess's medicine residue. If it weren't for this servant's sharp eyes, I wouldn't have been able to find them."

impossible!

Concubine Zhou widened her eyes in disbelief. Her fragrance was sent in from outside the palace, how could she have made it herself?

"No, Queen Mother, I was wrongly accused. I have never seen these things and I don't know what they are."

No matter how Concubine Zhou explained, it was obvious that no one believed her.

The Queen Mother waved her hand and asked the nanny to leave.

"I understand that you just lost the Second Princess, but that doesn't mean you can do evil in the palace."

"By the way, I remember that you were born as a maidservant of Concubine Li. I'm sure all these actions were instructed by Concubine Liu."

Sometimes, only when you are in a high position and have a clear understanding of other people's methods can you see clearly.

Concubine Zhou was a minion of Concubine Liu, and the Second Princess was kept by Concubine Li as a hostage. These things were no secret in the palace.

"No, I have never done anything to frame Concubine Yi. I beg the Queen Mother to be more discerning!"

Concubine Zhou was really scared. The crime of murdering a concubine was very serious and she would most likely be banished to the cold palace.

What's more, these things were not done by her, and Concubine Zhou was unwilling to admit the crime.

At this time, the Queen Mother looked at Queen Wang and asked, "What do you think should be done about this matter?"

Looking at the miserable Concubine Zhou, Queen Wang had no mercy at all.

The other party is Li Guipin's man. It would be a good thing for her to take this opportunity to remove Li Guipin's minions.

Therefore, Queen Wang slightly lowered her jaw and said softly, "This Concubine Zhou is the biological mother of the Second Princess, but she has not taken good care of the Second Princess."

"Now he has committed the evil act of killing concubines. I think he should be deposed as a criminal and banished to the cold palace."

"And Concubine Li..."

Queen Wang paused for a few moments.

"She is the biological mother of the eldest prince. His Majesty has already demoted her position. Concubine Li should know that she is wrong."

On the surface, he was speaking well of Li Guipin, but implicitly he was condemning her.

Queen Wang was eager to punish Concubine Li as well.

But Li Guipin has the eldest prince and the eldest princess. No matter how angry the empress dowager is, she can't target her directly.

The Queen Mother nodded and looked at Chang Liu again.

"The Emperor, please issue an order."

So many things happened today. His second princess was gone, and Concubine Li and Concubine Zhou were demoted and punished.

Now it has been revealed that Concubine Zhou used a wild cat to set up a trap and wanted to disfigure Concubine Yi.

Chang Liu looked at Concubine Zhou who was kneeling on the ground, with deep disappointment in his eyes.

"I never thought you were so calculating. I gave you the name of gentleness because I saw how gentle and beautiful you are."

These words were naturally directed at Concubine Zhou.

At that time, Concubine Zhou was not climbing into the bed, but Chang Liu was drunk and couldn't help himself.

Chang Liu actually liked Concubine Zhou.

When in the palace, Chang Liu favored Concubine Li, so naturally he often saw Concubine Liu's personal maid.

Concubine Zhou was born gentle, beautiful and clean, and she was kind to her servants.

Chang Liu once saw her bandaging a wounded kitten, so gentle and beautiful.

"His Majesty……"

Listening to Chang Liu's voice full of disappointment, Concubine Zhou tilted her head back with tears in her eyes, and she was actually a little moved and hesitant.

But just then Li Guipin came, and she was still dressed simply and elegantly.

"I have seen the Queen Mother, the Empress, and Your Majesty. Concubine Zhou has committed such a mistake. It is really because of my inability to discipline her."

After she finished speaking, she turned around and slapped Concubine Zhou a few times, then glared at her threateningly from an angle that no one else could see.

"Zhou Jieyu, you have committed such a mistake. Why don't you confess your crime to Her Majesty the Queen Mother? Are you worthy of your family?"

"I personally brought you into the palace and gave you the opportunity to serve the Emperor. Is this how you repay me and His Majesty?"

If Concubine Zhou did not plead guilty, or if she confessed more things.

This is very disadvantageous to Li Guipin, she must make Concubine Zhou shut up.
