Chapter 1308: It's Really a Happy Event (159 Million Rewards Plus)
Shen Zhinian picked up the warm tea beside him, took a sip, and said with interest, "Besides, think about it, since this matter is most likely the work of Concubine Zhuang, she was so deliberate in putting Baharguli to death. Given that woman's personality, how could she not remember this blood feud?"
"Baharguli has the Prince of Jin standing behind her. Even though she's now trapped in the cold palace, a useless pawn, with the Prince of Jin's methods and her personality, how could she really accept her fate and wait for death in the cold palace?"
Fuqiu's eyes lit up, and she continued, "Your Majesty, do you mean... let them continue to fight each other?"
Shen Zhinian smiled faintly, a smile that carried a hint of laziness and anticipation, a cold-eyed observer. "I'd really like to know how Baharguli, in her desperate situation, will repay Concubine Zhuang for this 'gift' today?"
Handan and Fuqiu looked at each other, both of them felt a chill in their hearts.
The Empress always has such far-sighted vision.
……
Changchun Palace.
There are no outsiders in the inner room.
Concubine Zhuang looked at the eldest princess's still pale face and reached out to gently stroke her cold forehead. Her gentle eyes were filled with genuine heartache and fear.
"Yun'er..."
Concubine Zhuang murmured softly, "Don't blame Mother... Mother was also forced into a corner by that bitch..."
"She actually dared to use the child in her womb to frame my mother. If we don't get rid of her, my mother and I will probably die without a burial place in the future..."
Ruoji, who was standing aside, lowered her eyes and silently tidied up the messed-up bed, her lips tightly pursed, but she didn't say a word in the end.
Seeing this, Little Caizi quickly stepped forward, bowed and said, "My Lady, please take care of yourself and don't blame yourself too much."
"That Baharguli is sinister and cunning, completely devoid of humanity. She even uses her own flesh and blood as a tool to harm others. What could such a vicious woman not do?"
"Your Majesty, you are acting like a hero, you are being forced to do this to protect yourself!"
He stole a glance at Concubine Zhuang's expression and continued, "If we don't eliminate this hidden danger today, who knows what vicious means she will use in the future to harm Your Majesty and the Princess."
"Although the princess has suffered some injustice temporarily, the thorn has been removed after all."
"In the future...even if the princess knows the truth, she will definitely understand your majesty's painstaking efforts and will never blame you!"
Xiao Caizi's words soothed the last trace of uneasiness and guilt in Concubine Zhuang's heart.
Concubine Zhuang nodded slowly.
Yes, she did it to protect herself and for Yun'er's future peace and stability.
The suffering that Yun'er is going through now will prevent her from being threatened by that vicious woman from the Western Regions in the future.
Concubine Zhuang kept telling herself this in her heart, and the slight sense of guilt soon disappeared.
Her voice returned to its usual calmness as she instructed, "The follow-up matters must be handled thoroughly. No beginning or end should be left behind."
"Don't worry, Madam!"
Xiao Caizi immediately assured her, "The lives of the palace maid Xiaoxi and her family are in our hands. She is so loyal to the Empress that she is willing to risk her life to accomplish this important task for the Empress. This is the blessing her family has earned through several lifetimes!"
"I have already made all the arrangements, there will not be any mistakes."
Concubine Zhuang breathed a sigh of relief.
A night of intense tension and exhaustion left her physically and mentally exhausted.
She took one last look at the eldest princess lying on the bed and ordered, "Take good care of the eldest princess. Make sure to give her the medicine prescribed by the imperial physician on time. If anything happens, report to me immediately."
"Yes!"
Concubine Zhuang took Ruoji's hand and turned to leave, her back still dignified.
……
After daybreak, what happened in Changchun Palace at night quickly spread throughout the palace.
Many people were discussing this privately, all lamenting, "Did you hear? The eldest princess was poisoned last night and barely survived!"
"Oh my God! Who is so bold?!"
"Who else could it be? It's the tribute from the Western Regions from Shuixi Pavilion. She's hiding a rare poison from the Western Regions, and it's said she was caught red-handed!"
"You can't judge a person by their appearance! She looks beautiful and charming on a daily basis, but I didn't expect her to be so cruel that she could even harm a child!"
"That's right! She used to be so arrogant, relying on the fact that His Majesty was so impressed by her, her eyes almost reached the sky. Now, look what happened, she has become a commoner overnight and was banished to the cold palace. It's really retribution!"
"Your Majesty has shown mercy by not granting me the death penalty for attempting to murder the heir to the throne. You deserve it!"
"..."
The vast majority of people believed that Baharguli deserved her punishment, and public opinion almost unanimously condemned her viciousness and sympathized with the eldest princess and Concubine Zhuang.
However, there are always one or two people in the palace who are particularly insightful, or experienced and experienced, and they smell a hint of something unusual...
Baharguli was flamboyant when she was in favor, but she didn't seem stupid enough to use such a mutually destructive method to harm an eldest princess with whom she had no direct conflict.
This is too strange...
Moreover, His Majesty just banished her to the cold palace?
However, they only grumbled in their hearts and did not show it on their faces.
In the deep palace, seeing through things but not speaking them out, and keeping oneself prudent are the ways to live a long life.
The truth is not important. What is important is how to stand firm in your position after the storm.
……
Prince Jin's Mansion, study room.
The flickering candlelight illuminated the handsome and gentle profile of Prince Jin.
He had just heard the secret report from his confidant about the palace news, and the gentle smile on his face, which was like a spring breeze, disappeared without a trace.
Instead, there was a deep gloom, and there were dark currents in his eyes, churning with shock, anger, and a hint of annoyance at having his plans disrupted.
He had put a lot of thought into bringing Baharguli into the palace. Especially after she had a miscarriage and framed Concubine Zhuang, she could have stirred up more trouble… but she was just destroyed like this?
Or in such a stupid way?
King Jin's first reaction was disbelief.
Although Baharguli is impulsive at times, she is definitely not a brainless person. How could she do such a self-destructive thing?
Concubine Qi stood aside and saw the gloom that flashed across Prince Jin's face, and an indescribable joy surged in her heart.
That Baharguli was just a tribute girl from the Western Regions, not even having a formal status in the palace. But relying on her exotic charm and the occasional favor of the prince, she always liked to compete with her openly or covertly.
She had long been fed up with that kind of enchanting energy.
Especially recently, that bitch actually got pregnant with a prince, and used this to stage a big drama in the palace, successfully framing Concubine Zhuang. This made the prince look at her differently, and he relied more on her in many of his plans.
This made Concubine Qi feel like a thorn in her heart, making her extremely unhappy.
It’s better now!
Concubine Zhuang was indeed not a pushover. If she didn't take action, it would be fine. But when she did, it was with thunder and lightning. She directly banished that vixen to the cold palace, where she would never be able to escape.
It’s really great!
