National Master Hall, brightly lit.
The Korean Concubine has fallen, and there’s no need to keep the spy around. Gu Jiao casually had him "break" something and then sent him back to the palace.
This clumsy palace maid, whether Zhang Dequan suspects him or not, will never be used again in the future.
The old wine-sacrificing minister was understanding the situation of the ten major families from Xiao Hen, while Empress Dowager Zhuang treasured today’s candied fruit by holding the jar and eating it.
Gu Jiao stood up and said, "I’ll go cook."
The National Master Hall has cooks, but she wants to cook hometown food for her family.
Empress Dowager Zhuang angrily said, "Come back! Who wants to eat your cooking?"
The stove room is so hot in this summer!
Gu Jiao said, "But didn’t Aunt say at noon that she wanted to eat Zhan Country’s food?"
That was just me saying it casually... Empress Dowager Zhuang gave the old sacrificial minister a glare: "You go."
The old sacrificial minister didn’t want to go: "The National Master Hall has cooks, what are you doing..."
"I’ll go." Xiao Hen said, he also knows how to cook Zhan Country’s food.
The old sacrificial minister’s body trembled, he waved his large hand and stood up: "You are not allowed to go! I’ll cook!"
Xiao Hen: "..."
To avoid eating his pupil’s disastrous cooking, the old sacrificial minister braced against the dog days’ heat to stoke the fire and cook in the stove room.
The little princesses have returned to the palace.
Little Jingtong was led by Gu Chengfeng to the street to buy sugared haws.
There were only Gu Jiao, Empress Dowager Zhuang, and Xiao Hen left in the room.
Gu Jiao murmured, "Aunt, with today’s trouble at the Han Family palace, the Third Princess exposing the issue of acknowledging a bunch of mother’s deeds should be revealed, right? What will they do?"
Actually, if it were only her and Xiao Hen, they would think about it, but with Aunt and Uncle here, they could be lazy.
Empress Dowager Zhuang calmly said, "They will come to find us."
Speak of Cao Cao and Cao Cao arrives.
A disciple of the National Master Hall arrived at the Qilin Palace and respectfully greeted Xiao Hen outside the door: "Your Highness Changsun, two people have come from the Emperor’s side to visit the Third Princess."
Xiao Hen exchanged a glance with Gu Jiao.
Empress Dowager Zhuang slightly nodded.
In the room, the person dressed as a nanny went around behind the screen and looked coldly at the tightly closed curtain: "Stop pretending, Third Princess, come out quickly."
There was a sound of movement from the mosquito net.
The curtain was lifted, revealing Shangguan Yun’s brightly smiling face: "Noble Concubine Wang, we haven’t seen each other for three days, how have you been?"
Noble Concubine Wang sneered: "You won’t call me mother consort so quickly?"
Shangguan Yun retorted: "Do you deserve it?"
Noble Concubine Wang was enraged, truly a heartless person who kicks away someone after using them!
Noble Concubine Wang said arrogantly: "Shangguan Yun, don’t be too smug, I already know everything you’ve done, and everyone else knows your true face. Tomorrow, everyone will bring the Emperor to examine your injuries, by then, you won’t even be able to cry!"
Shangguan Yun raised her eyebrows: "Oh, really? Coming all this way to remind me, is it that you don’t want to see me cry, Noble Concubine?"
Noble Concubine Wang’s gaze grew cold: "Shangguan Yun shut your mouth! You have so many vulnerabilities in our hands, once things come to light, your end will be even worse! Right now, I’m the only one who can save you!"
Shangguan Yun asked: "Why would Noble Concubine want to save me?"
Noble Concubine Wang said: "I’ll make a deal with you, as long as you continue to fulfill your original promise, I have a way to resolve tomorrow’s crisis for you!"
Shangguan Yun didn’t ask what way, instead said with a faint smile: "I just tricked you, yet you still dare to come to make a deal, were you out in the rain so much that your brain is soaked?"
