The Prime Minister's Darling novel Chapter 644

Chapter 644: 307 The Truth Revealed (second update) _6

Their voices were neither too loud nor too quiet, both Gu Jiao and the old eunuch Qin had heard them.

Old Eunuch Qin holding his Buddhist whip sighed: "This old servant does not know everything, but... it probably wasn’t the dowager empress."

"Why?" Gu Jiao turned her head to look at Old Eunuch Qin, indicating for him to continue.

Old Eunuch Qin hesitated for a moment, but decided to tell Gu Jiao anyway.

He sighed, "The Empress Dowager once promised Princess Ning An that no matter what, she will always spare the Emperor’s life. The Empress Dowager might confront the Emperor, suppress the Emperor, confine the Emperor...Even if she ruins the Emperor to the point of annihilation, she would never kill the Emperor."

The old priest did not stay here after the Empress Dowager Zhuang ordered him to leave, so he didn’t hear the conversation between Gu Jiao and Old Eunuch Qin.

However, he also believed that the assassination last night was not orchestrated by Zhuang Jinse.

It’s not that he knew about the agreement between Empress Dowager Zhuang and Princess Ning An, but rather that he understood Empress Dowager Zhuang’s methods—if she wanted to strike, it would be a lethal strike. If the murder was her command, then the Emperor would definitely had been killed.

However, the person knew the Emperor’s whereabouts like the back of his hand, so he must have planted spies in the palace.

The old priest pondered silently in his own courtyard for a while. After thinking for a long time, he finally decided to apologize and thank Zhuang Jinse.

The apology was for his imprudence, which revealed this contaminant old couple relationship and added fuel to the icy relationship between the Emperor and Zhuang Jinse. His thanks were because Zhuang Jinse had spoken on his behalf.

No matter whether the Emperor believed him or not, he didn’t care anymore.

Of course, his loyalty still lied with the Emperor.

He wouldn’t betray the Emperor for Zhuang Jinse.

But let’s distinguish between the two matters.

This doesn’t stop him from apologizing and thanking Zhuang Jinse.

Moreover, she must be somewhat saddened in her heart for being misunderstood by her adopted son. After all, he is someone she once cared for deeply.

Thinking this way, the old priest felt even more necessary to comfort Zhuang Jinse.

Zhuang Jinse went to the Zhao Family’s place next door.

The old priest practiced in his mind what would be the most appropriate way to comfort her when he saw her, hoping not to make her more upset.

Thinking like this, he entered the Zhao Family’s place.

But could someone please tell him, what did he see?!
