Chapter 175: A personal trip to find out the truth
"I will never allow Concubine Hua to use this incident to stir up any more trouble. Since I entered the palace, I have never taken the initiative to plot against anyone, but if someone plots against me, I will never let her off easily."
Shen Meizhuang stood up and angrily slammed her hands on the table.
"Sister is right, but we have to think long-term. Moreover, if we want to use the Sixth Prince's third-day celebration as an excuse to plot, we should probably tell Concubine Xuan in advance, so as not to make her feel unhappy."
"We are now at war with Concubine Hua, and the Queen is not a good person either. We must not make any more enemies."
Zhen Huan placed her hands on Mei Zhuang's shoulders, letting her sit down gently, and spoke in a calm tone.
"Huan'er is right. We need to inform Concubine Xuan in advance. I'm afraid I have to ask Lingrong to take care of this matter."
Shen Meizhuang nodded in agreement. They really couldn't afford to offend Concubine Xuan just to fight back against Concubine Hua. It would be difficult for them to survive in the palace if they made too many enemies.
"No, I'm afraid I have to go there in person for Sister's matter. We have to trouble others. If we use Lingrong as a middleman to pass the message, it will seem that we are not sincere enough."
Zhen Huan thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Huan'er, you're right. For this kind of thing, we really have to go there in person."
Shen Meizhuang also didn't want to offend Concubine Xuan, who had a son and was favored by the emperor. It would be even better if she could make friends with her.
She thought that they had some interactions with Concubine Xuan before, and that she seemed to be a reasonable person. She thought that if they explained the situation clearly, she would probably agree to their proposal.
"If Concubine Xuan really doesn't want to, we don't have to force it. After all, it's the Sixth Prince's third-day bath and Concubine Xuan loves her child so much that it's understandable that she doesn't want to ruin the party because of these things."
Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan and warned her cautiously.
"Sister, don't worry, I know what I'm doing."
"If Concubine Xuan really doesn't want to, then we can think of other ways. There will always be a way."
"However, I will go alone for this matter. Sister doesn't have to come with me."
Zhen Huan smiled and looked at Shen Meizhuang and said.
"Why?"
Shen Meizhuang didn't quite understand what Zhen Huan meant.
"Now, in the eyes of outsiders, my sister is pregnant. Naturally, everyone's eyes are on her. If she goes to see Concubine Xuan, it will easily attract attention here."
"If I go alone, not many people will notice me. After all, Concubine Xuan has successfully given birth to a child, and as sisters in the six palaces, we naturally have to go and celebrate. When the time comes, I will go with Lingrong, so it will be even less likely to attract attention."
Zhen Huan quickly opened her mouth to explain.
"Well, I'll leave this matter to you, Huan'er."
Shen Meizhuang thought about it, felt that what Zhen Huan said made sense, and spoke.
"Without further delay, I will go back and prepare some things and bring them over when the time comes. The more gifts, the better."
Zhen Huan nodded, looked at Shen Meizhuang and spoke.
"You are right. Here is a delicate jade pendant that my mother gave me before I entered the palace. You can take it and give it to Sixth Prince on my behalf. This is my token of my appreciation."
Shen Meizhuang looked at Zhen Huan and said in agreement.
"Sister, this thing was given to you by Aunt Shen. Why don't you change it?"
Zhen Huan looked at Shen Meizhuang with some concern and said.
"This thing is just a possession. Concubine Xuan is from the Fucha family and has seen all kinds of good things. People may not be interested in this thing."
"Besides, the purpose of giving this thing is to express our sincerity. Naturally, the more precious it is, the better it can express it. Otherwise, wouldn't it be a wasted trip?"
Shen Meizhuang shook her head and looked at Zhen Huan with firm eyes.
"Besides, if I can use this incident to give Concubine Hua a hard time, I will be willing to give her even the most expensive things."
"I'm obsessed with it."
Zhen Huan was naturally not a stingy person, but she asked this question because this thing was given to Sister Mei by Aunt Shen and it was also a way for Sister Mei to miss her mother. As for the thing itself, there was nothing special about it.
"Then I'll go back and prepare."
Zhen Huan spoke.
"it is good"
Shoukang Palace
The Queen Mother couldn't help but close her eyes as she listened to Zhu Xi reporting the news from the Old Summer Palace.
"I have told Yixiu so many times, why doesn't she listen to me?"
"Now that something has happened, she comes to me to clean up the mess for her. When will she grow up?"
The Queen Mother sighed helplessly and put down the Buddhist beads in her hand.
"Zhu Xi, what does the emperor say?"
"Empress Dowager, the Emperor still cares about the Empress and has not made any overt punishment to her, but..."
Zhuxi spoke hesitantly.
"Just something."
The Queen Mother looked at Zhuxi and asked.
"However, the Emperor has asked Concubine Xuan, Concubine Hua, and Concubine Jing to assist in managing the six palaces, while the Empress can rest and recuperate."
Zhu Xi glanced at the Queen Mother and spoke with some heartache.
"I knew this would happen. Since my family is powerful now, the emperor will not touch the queen for the time being. But this does not mean that the emperor has no grudge against the queen."
"What's more, the emperor is just suppressing his anger now. When any problems arise in the palace in the future, the emperor will immediately suspect the queen."
"The Queen has made a big wrong move. One wrong move leads to all the wrong moves."
The Queen Mother couldn't help but shook her head. Yixiu was still far inferior to Chunyuan.
When she was allowed to enter the palace as a concubine, it was thought that she could win the prince's heart and help the Ulanara family.
But after she had a son, she no longer cared about her own family, but only considered the palace, which inevitably disappointed her family.
In addition, the fourth brother was increasingly likely to sit on the supreme throne. For the benefit of the family, they had to let Rouze enter the palace so that they could better take advantage of the fourth brother's momentum and completely revitalize the family.
Rouze lived up to everyone's expectations and was loved by the fourth prince. However, when she gave birth to a legitimate son, she was killed by Yixiu.
But for the benefit of the Ulanara family, Yixiu was the only daughter of the Ulanara family in the palace at that time. If other people were sent to the palace, they might not be as good as Yixiu, so they could only cover up for Yixiu as much as possible.
Fortunately, Rouze is a good child. Even though she knows that her child was killed by her sister, she is still willing to push Yixiu at the last moment for the benefit of the family, so that Yixiu can successfully sit on the throne of queen.
If Chunyuan were still alive, she wouldn't have to worry about the Ulanara family at her old age.
