Chapter 266 Sending Artemisia argyi, betraying sincerity
"Yuhu, Suqin, the two of you go pack up Fuzhen's things and bring them to my bedroom. Fuzhen will be with me during this time. As for the nanny and the others, the two of you have to keep an eye on them."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at the two of them seriously and spoke.
"Yes, ma'am."
The two responded in unison.
They also agreed with the Queen's plan. After all, the palace was in chaos right now, and there was no guarantee that someone would have bad intentions.
There are not many princes in the palace. Apart from the Third Prince, there is the Sixth Prince. If someone wants to attack the Sixth Prince at the cost of his life, now is the best opportunity.
"As for Aunt Fangqiu, you will have to keep an eye on other matters in the palace. As for the palace gates and the eunuchs serving in the palace, leave them to Eunuch Chai."
"If you find someone showing any abnormality, do not show mercy. It is better to kill the innocent than to let him go."
Fu Cha Zhixi looked at the two of them with cold eyes and gave the order.
"Yes, ma'am."
Eunuch Chai and Aunt Fangqiu both responded with stern faces.
Both of them are veterans in the palace, so they naturally understand that it is easier to be plotted against at times like this.
"I'm sorry to trouble you all during this period. Once the epidemic is over, I will definitely reward you greatly."
Fu Cha Zhixi agreed with Concubine Hua's idea very much. If she wanted her subordinates to do their jobs well, she had to, on the one hand, increase supervision, and on the other hand, give them enough sweet benefits so that they would spend the money.
To be honest, she had no shortage of money, whether before or after entering the palace.
She herself was not as fond of dressing extravagantly as Concubine Hua, so the expenses in the palace were not too high.
In addition, on the one hand, the Fucha family often gave her money, and on the other hand, the emperor often rewarded her with many good things. When he rewarded her with the regular silver of each palace, the emperor never forgot to make up for the silver he was short of. Now the extra regular silver was all given to her by the emperor from his own treasury.
Therefore, she has always been generous in rewarding her subordinates.
"Don't worry, your Majesty. These two girls only need to take good care of you and Prince Fuzhen. Leave the others to me. I will definitely take good care of Chengqian Palace for you."
Aunt Fangqiu was the first to speak and promised.
"Don't worry, Madam. With me here, these little guys won't be able to cause any trouble. I will definitely guard the gate of our Chengqian Palace for you."
Eunuch Chai naturally would not miss this good opportunity to show his loyalty, and spoke in a serious tone.
"Your Majesty, Suqin and I will definitely take good care of you and your brother, please rest assured."
Seeing that both of them expressed their loyalty, Yuhu considered herself as the empress's own daughter, so naturally she would not remain silent at such a time.
She held Suqin's hand, looked at her queen, and made a promise with a pat on her chest.
"Okay, I know you are all loyal to me. I believe that as long as you all work together, Chengqian Palace will surely survive this storm safely."
Fu Cha Zhixi smiled and looked at the four people and spoke.
"By the way, Lingrong is pregnant now, but there is not much mugwort to be given to her."
"Now that Fu Zhen lives with me, the mugwort leaves that the Imperial Hospital gave to Fu Zhen are no longer useful."
"Suqin, take these extra mugwort leaves to Yanxi Palace and give them to Lingrong."
"She's pregnant now, and she must be scared. Seeing you will make her feel a little more at ease."
Fu Cha Zhixi thought for a moment and then spoke.
"My queen, the epidemic is raging right now. If we give these mugwort leaves to Miss Lingrong, then we will be short of them."
Yuhu said somewhat unhappily.
"I know that the queen and Miss Lingrong are like sisters, but it's not that Miss Lingrong doesn't have mugwort leaves, but the queen also has Prince Fuzhen, so even if there is more mugwort leaves, it won't be enough."
"Yuhu, it's better to send charcoal in the snow than to add icing on the cake. Besides, sending these mugwort leaves will make Lingrong feel more at ease. This will also be good for the baby in her belly."
"How much do you think this little bit of moxa can do even if it's left here?"
"This is the extra mugwort that the Empress gave to us concubines with children, so giving this extra mugwort to Lingrong will not affect the situation in our palace."
Fu Cha Zhixi naturally understood that Yu Hu was worried about her, so she was not angry at Yu Hu's rebuttal, but patiently explained to her.
"I, your queen, am not the kind of person who would ignore herself and only think about others, so you can rest assured."
"I value my life and the life of my children more than you do."
"My queen, you are so kind to Miss Lingrong. Please forgive me for being so nosy. If Miss Lingrong has a child in the future, I am afraid that Miss Lingrong will have other ideas."
Aunt Fangqiu also didn't quite agree with Fucha Zhixi's idea, but she didn't refute it directly like Yuhu did, but instead took a roundabout way.
"I understand what my aunt is thinking. In fact, in the end, the relationship between people is based on conscience. I have no way of knowing whether she will be sincere to me, but I am willing to take the initiative to give my sincerity. Even if she fails to live up to my sincerity, she will definitely be the one who loses."
"Don't be suspicious of those you employ. Don't be suspicious of others."
"If Lingrong betrays me in the future, she will lose someone who will be sincere to her, and I will just lose a heartless villain."
Fu Cha Zhixi naturally understood that Aunt Fang Qiu did not quite agree with what he was doing, so she found another way to use this matter to tell him.
But she was not really worried that An Lingrong would betray her in the future. After all, she was not stupid enough to leave herself no way out.
You have to know that although she gave the manor and Doctor An's mother to Lingrong, the people in the manor are all from their Fucha family. Even if An Lingrong has any ideas, she won't be able to make any waves since Doctor An's mother is in her hands.
Even if she gave birth to a prince in the future and he had some inappropriate thoughts and wanted to deal with her Fu Zhen, she would definitely not be soft on An Lingrong at that time.
Besides, she really didn't think that An Lingrong was the kind of person who would betray easily. In the original plot, it was because she was jealous that she was not as popular in Zhen Huan's heart as Mei Jie, Chun'er, and finally, even Huanbi, the maid beside Zhen Huan. This completely broke An Lingrong's defense and she finally decided to stand with the Queen.
"Since your Majesty insists, I will naturally trust your judgment."
Having said that, the more the queen truly believes in Lady Lingrong, the more they, the servants, have to keep an eye on her for the queen.
People's minds are hard to predict, and they might change at any time.
But we have to admit that the queen is a kind-hearted master, which is a good thing for servants like them.
