Naturally, the queen's banquet was not to be neglected, and the ladies who received the post expressed their flattery and promised to be there. They also really wanted to see this commoner queen, but they couldn't see her color even when they stood behind the ceremony after the ceremony.
Only one person felt uneasy after receiving the post.
Sitting in front of the dressing table, Ji Qingqing looked at her pale face in the mirror. Ever since Wu Ming was arrested, she had been very nervous, for fear that he would say her name. Originally, she was very confident that Wu Ming would never betray her with Wu Ming's affection for her, but then she accidentally heard about some creepy criminal laws. She even heard that the current minister of the Dali Temple knows the insanity technique, which can break the inner defense of the prisoner and tell the truth of all events.
These rumors put a lot of pressure on her, and in just a few days, she lost a lot of weight.
"What's the matter with you?" Zhao Yuzhuo pushed the door open and asked Ji Qingqing when he saw Ji Qingqing sitting there blankly without dressing up.
Ji Qingqing glanced back at him, and said cautiously: "The Empress has posted a post, let us go to enjoy the flowers today. I'm a little scared, can I not go?"
Zhao Yuzhuo frowned, "After she was sealed off, she naturally wanted to see how much power she has. If you don't go, she will probably hold a grudge."
Ji Qingqing lowered her eyes, her expression was a little pitiful, "Probably I have been hated before."
When she mentioned this, Zhao Yuzhuo also remembered what happened at the wedding banquet. He used to think that Su Li's wedding was too much, but now he felt more and more that she was right. A woman who lost her parents arrived in the capital with great difficulty, and finally found someone she could rely on, but was preempted by someone who robbed her of her identity and belongings, and almost died. If it was him, he would probably make a fuss too.
If Su Li is innocent, then Ji Qingqing and her family are the culprits. Even though he already had a good impression of Ji Qingqing, seeing her crying and petty, he felt a little annoyed.
"If you don't want to implicate the palace, you should clean up and enter the palace." Zhao Yuzhuo left a blunt sentence and turned to leave.
Ji Qingqing was a little taken aback, not knowing why he suddenly lost his temper. After thinking about it, it was only because she neglected him through worrying and thinking these days, which made him unhappy.
Sighing lightly, Ji Qingqing had no choice but to put on her makeup, and changed into a skirt embroidered with orchids in a honey color. She also chose low-key and simple hair accessories, trying not to create a sense of presence in front of Su Li.
But before she knew it, a secret letter from Dali Temple had been urgently sent to the palace.
Dali Siqing doesn't know how to conjure souls, but Su Li can.
Wu Ming is a hard nut to crack, so Su Li naturally knew it, so she exchanged a cheap hypnotic potion with the system before coming. This kind of hypnotic potion can only deal with ordinary people, and a well-trained assassin like Wu Ming has no effect. But what Su Li said to him in the cell was not in vain. The moment his mind was shaken, the hypnotic potion had already been planted in his body.
The incubation period ranges from five to seven days.
Today is the best time.
Su Li leaned on the couch, smiling as she watched Mammy and Que'er arguing about which palace dress looked better.
"Stop making trouble," Su Li got up, and told the maid next to her, "Bring that floor-length skirt embroidered with carmine red peonies, and wear that."
Mammy and Que'er stopped talking, stood behind her, and continued to argue with their eyes on what kind of bun to wear for the empress to make her look attractive.
Happy New Year, the Year of the Rooster
