Chapter 301: Concubine De is exposed and becomes a noble lady
On the other side, Yikun Palace.
Ever since Guo Luoluo and Jirgalang were almost involved in the secret affairs of the harem at Mulan Paddock, Concubine Guo Luoluo has been even more low-key than Concubine De. Unless she is mentioned actively, it is as if this person does not exist.
The reason for doing so was not only to avoid being turned into cannon fodder by the emperor by remembering the affair between Guo Luoluo Jirgalang and Tong Jia Wanru on the Emperor's Birthday, but also because Guo Luoluo Jirgalang was almost deceived by her people during the adultery.
This means there is a traitor or a spy around her. How can we feel at ease unless we find out who is behind this traitor or a spy?
So they used the Xiao Tao who deceived Guo Luoluo and Zirgalang and Zhen'er as a breakthrough point, and pulled out the radish and brought out the mud. They found out several people hiding in the Yikun Palace, and also discovered several secrets.
Among them was the incident in which Tong Jia Wanru and Guo Luoluo Jirgalang were plotted against during the last Wanshou Festival, and the person behind it turned out to be Concubine De.
At this time, Nanny Wang comforted the furious empress.
"Your Highness, don't be angry. Fortunately, Concubine De didn't succeed in catching the adulterer. We also found other traitors in one fell swoop, which can be regarded as turning a bad thing into a good thing."
Guo Luoluofei's usually cheerful face was clouded with gloom, and she gritted her teeth and said:
"How can I not be angry? If it weren't for Concubine De's secret plot, how could I be stripped of my title and how could Jirgalang's future be ruined? Now who in the palace remembers my name? I should have guessed it long ago."
With a bang, the newly placed teacup fell to the ground again.
Nanny Wang fell silent, not knowing how to persuade her.
Qiao Hui couldn't help but speak angrily:
"Your Highness, Concubine De has plotted against you many times. Are we just going to suffer in silence?"
Upon hearing this, Concubine Guo Luoluo sneered:
"How is it possible? That bitch Defei has been at odds with me since she was young, and now she has plotted against me many times. I will never let this go."
But how to retaliate requires long-term consideration.
Defei is very scheming and resourceful, and she has a high position and children. Her family is also a bannerman family with complicated relationships. It is very difficult to get revenge on her, but there is a way out.
Concubine Guo Luoluo gradually calmed down, and suddenly thought of something, with a hint of calculation flashing in her eyes.
"I heard that Concubine De really likes Concubine Shi. She just came back yesterday, so I sent someone to notify Concubine Si and Concubine Shi to come to the palace today."
Qiao Hui nodded after hearing this:
"Yes, according to the time, the Fourth Lady should have brought Concubine Shi into the palace by now." As he said this, a trace of disdain flashed across his face.
"It's obvious that the Fourth Lady is the legitimate daughter-in-law of Concubine De, but Concubine De favors a concubine. It's obvious that she has bad intentions."
Nanny Wang also spoke up.
Echoed:
"She was born a bondservant, and she is a bondservant. She cannot even be in public even if she flies out of the Phoenix. She is always making fun of herself. She thinks that no one knows that she treats the Fourth Prince harshly. Sooner or later, she will regret it."
Concubine Guo Luoluo’s angle of view was different from the other two.
"You underestimated Concubine De. Even if I don't want to admit it, Concubine De is very smart and resourceful. She always thinks three steps ahead and is good at using others' strengths to her advantage. How could she simply praise Shi Rongyue?"
"What do you mean, empress?"
Nanny Wang was puzzled:
"Could it be that Concubine De is not satisfied with the Fourth Concubine who was chosen for the Fourth Prince when Empress Xiaoyi was still alive, so she brought Concubine Shi out to compete with the Fourth Concubine?"
As an enemy for more than ten years, Concubine Guo Luoluo knew Concubine De better. She affirmed:
"There are the reasons you mentioned, but there must be other reasons. You sent people to keep a close eye on Concubine De and Shi Rongyue. I have a feeling that Concubine De has a secret, and it is related to Shi Rongyue."
Princess Guo Luoluo recalled what happened in the Fairy Tower during the Wanshou Festival. Was Shi Rongyue really schemed against by that Princess Socholo?
There must be some unknown secret in it. In any case, she must find out and never let Concubine De succeed. If necessary, she will counterattack.
"Yes, your majesty." Nanny Wang immediately went downstairs to make arrangements and informed the secret agent in Yonghe Palace.
……
It stopped raining in the afternoon, but the northwest wind was blowing hard and it was cold to the bone. Shi Nanxi came back from the Cining Palace after attending to the patient and pulled her cloak closer.
"It's winter now, look at the weather, I'm afraid it's going to snow!"
Hongying helped the empress sit on the sedan chair and blew into her palms.
The sedan chair was lifted up, and Shi Nanxi felt the damp and cold air and sighed:
"Yes, it's winter already. Winter in the Forbidden City is very hard to endure. When you go back later, take some money from my private room to make a set of winter clothes and shoes for each of the palace servants in Chuxiu Palace, and give them some charcoal for heating."
"Yes, madam!"
Hongying was overjoyed:
"You really have a kind heart. I believe that when I go back and tell everyone in the palace, they will be so happy. With winter clothes, winter shoes and charcoal, no one in our Chuxiu Palace will freeze to death this year."
Looking at the overjoyed Hongying, Shi Nanxi pursed her lips and felt the warm fox fur on the hood. This was the reason why she tried hard to climb up. In ancient times, one could die from various reasons if one was not careful. She didn't want to die and wanted to live well.
"Ouch!"
Suddenly, the young eunuch carrying the sedan chair in front was knocked back by someone, and the sedan chair on his shoulders swayed. Shi Nanxi hurriedly grabbed the handrails on both sides. Fortunately, the young eunuch managed to stabilize his body, and Shi Nanxi did not fall off the sedan chair.
Hongying was startled. When she saw that her empress was fine, she looked angrily at the person who had bumped into someone in front of her.
"Who was it that was walking recklessly and almost hurt the queen? If anything happens to the queen, you..."
He stopped questioning halfway because the person he bumped into turned out to be the Seventh Prince.
The Seventh Prince is eleven years old this year. He has a handsome face, pale complexion, and a thin body. He was wearing an empty green cotton robe. Perhaps because he was walking in a hurry, he stopped suddenly and his body swayed. Fortunately, he was supported by the eunuch beside him.
He saw that he had almost bumped into the sedan chair of Concubine Xian, and was so scared that he quickly pushed the eunuch's hand away and bowed his hands to apologize:
"Greetings, Empress Xian. Yinyou was reckless and didn't look at the road. He almost made a big mistake. Please forgive me, Empress Xian."
Shi Nanxi steadied herself and was not angry, because she could see that the Seventh Prince looked anxious, with tension and worry in his eyes, and she was afraid that something might have happened.
So I lowered my voice to comfort him:
"Seventh Prince, please get up. You didn't mean to do that. I am fine. But you seem to be in a hurry. What happened? Do you need my help?"
She heard about the last adultery incident afterwards. Except for Chen Da Ying who got involved, Concubine Xi and Concubine Cheng spoke up for her.
You can't be too independent in the palace. Concubine Xi has a special status and it's related to the crown prince, so she's not easy to win over. But Concubine Cheng is a good candidate.
Unexpectedly, when she was thinking about how to win him over, she encountered the Seventh Prince who seemed to be in trouble. If she could help him, it would also help her to win him over and make him a noble.
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Prince first breathed a sigh of relief. Empress Xian was the apple of the Emperor's eye, and he, an unfavored and invisible prince, could not afford to offend her.
Then something came to his mind. He heard that his mother had a fever again, so he hurried over after finishing school.
Because they were in such a hurry on the way back from Mulan Paddock, my mother accidentally caught a cold. However, because she was not favored, the imperial physician assigned to her was not very good and has not yet cured her. He was worried that my mother's illness would become more and more serious if it was not delayed.
If he could get Empress Xian's oral order, he could assign the best imperial physician to his mother. After a moment of struggle, he decided that his mother's health was the most important.
So the Seventh Prince told the story about how Concubine Cheng had been ill and had not recovered yet, and now she had a fever again.
Shi Nanxi was shocked. In ancient times, fever was not a trivial matter and could kill people. She immediately made a prompt decision:
"Madam Yang, take this palace token and ask Zhao Zuoyuanpan to go and treat Noble Lady Cheng."
Nanny Yang agreed immediately, and the Seventh Prince was instantly overjoyed:
"Thank you, Empress Xian, for your grace."
