Chapter 343: Concubine Liang's family found clues (13 reward points plus more)
"But I remember you said that no matter what happens, we must remain calm. Once we act impulsively, we will not only fail to solve the problem, but also give others an advantage."
"So I endured it and brought Concubine Han to see you."
Shen Zhinian nodded: "You must have a legitimate reason to deal with anyone in the harem. You handled this matter very well."
After all, the harem is not a place for martial arts competitions. If you slap someone at random, you are a lunatic...
Sun Changzai looked shy and happy after being praised: "I will listen to Sister Roupin!"
……
Yongshou Palace.
Concubine Liu didn't remember who Concubine Han was at all, but after listening to Nanny Xiao's report, a hint of disgust flashed across her beautiful face.
Everyone in the harem said that she was arrogant and domineering, but no matter how domineering she was, she would never slap a palace concubine over a disagreement.
Lady Han is so majestic!
"For such a brainless person, being a maid is an honor to her. Just demote her to a concubine!"
"Yes!"
Logically speaking, Han Da Ying was out of favor, so such a small matter would not be brought to the emperor's attention.
However, all the concubines were the emperor's women. Concubine Liu acted on behalf of the empress, and although she could deal with lower-ranking concubines, she still had to report the results of promotion and demotion to the emperor.
Soon someone reported the matter to the emperor.
After listening, a hint of surprise appeared on Nangong Xuanyu's handsome and majestic face.
It has nothing to do with Han Da Ying and Concubine Liu.
Although Nian Nian has grown a lot after entering the palace for so long, in Nangong Xuanyu's cognition, she has always been gentle and kind.
This time he actually ordered his men to beat Han Da Ying's face until it was so swollen that it was unsightly, and he also asked the imperial concubine to demote her.
Han agreed that Nian Nian had evil intentions and deserved the punishment. He didn't think Nian Nian was wrong, he just felt a little curious.
It turns out that Nian Nian also has thundering methods.
He discovered a different side to her again.
Somehow, Nangong Xuanyu suddenly felt itchy and wanted to see Nian Nian like this...
The emperor was still reserved after all, and did not immediately get up and go to Zhongcui Palace. He just said: "Send someone to tell Concubine Rou that I will go there for dinner tonight."
Li Changde bowed his head and said, "Yes!"
……
Chengqian Palace.
These days, Concubine De has heard people in the palace vaguely talking about how the Third Prince is... not very good-looking.
But when a mother looks at her own children, she naturally thinks everything is good.
The third prince is so cute, what’s not so good about him?
Concubine De was holding the third prince and coaxing him gently.
Qingdai walked in from outside and said respectfully: "Madam, Han Da Ying wants to see you..."
There are no secrets in the harem, and what happened in Zhongcui Palace has spread.
Concubine De handed the third prince to the wet nurse and said, "Let her in."
Qing Dai was puzzled: "Your Majesty, you would give rewards to every concubine who came to Chengqian Palace to pay her respects before they left. This does not mean that you have accepted them under your command."
"It was Han who promised that idiot, but he misunderstood and took chicken feathers as a token of authority, and he almost ruined your reputation."
"She has brought this upon herself, why do you still want to see her?"
Concubine De said, "I don't know how many eyes are watching this matter now. If I reject Han Yingying, won't people think I am guilty?"
"If this happens, someone will definitely say behind my back that I ordered Han to provoke the people in Zhongcui Palace, and that he turned against me when he failed."
"Rather than this, I'd rather be open and honest."
"and……"
At this point, Concubine De smiled and said, "Han was indeed useless before, but now, Concubine Rou has caused her to fall from a noble lady to a concubine. Perhaps she will never be able to turn things around in this life. Is there anyone in the harem who hates Concubine Rou more than her?"
"If such a chess piece is used well, maybe one day, Roupin will be defeated by her..."
After all, there are many examples of big shots dying not at the hands of opponents of the same level, but falling into the trap.
Qing Dai understood and said, "I understand!"
Han Da Ying cried to Concubine De with a face swollen like a pig's head, not hiding the hatred in his eyes at all!
"… Madam Defei, I left your palace with the reward, and right after that, Concubine Rou gave me such a severe punishment. Isn't this clearly telling everyone in the palace that they are not allowed to get close to you?"
"You are one of the four concubines, and she is just a concubine. How dare she treat you so lightly!"
"Also, there were few high-ranking concubines in the palace before, so it would have been fine for Your Majesty to give her some of the power of the six palaces. But now, there is one more concubine, Empress Defei. You haven't even helped manage the six palaces, so how can you expect Concubine Rou to take over your duties?"
"I hate Concubine Rou, but I really feel sorry for you!"
Although Han Da Ying had selfish motives, his words really touched Concubine De's heart.
As one of the four concubines, the Defei who had a prince by her side, did not help manage the six palaces. How could a concubine have the power of the six palaces? How could she feel?
However, in front of Han Ying, Concubine De did not show any emotion, but just said: "I sympathize with Sister Han's experience. But now I just want to raise the third prince well, and I don't care about other things."
"If what my sister said today gets out, it will definitely bring disaster. I will pretend that I didn't hear it. My sister, please don't tell others about it in the future."
"Okay, sister, you've suffered a lot today, go back and rest. If you encounter any difficulties, send someone to inform Qingdai."
No matter what, as long as Concubine De is still willing to take care of her, her life in the harem will not be too difficult.
In comparison, Concubine De is much better than Concubine Rou!
Han agreed and said gratefully: "After what happened today, I finally understand who is the most easy-to-talk-to person in the harem."
"I will not disturb Her Majesty, Concubine De. I will take my leave now."
Han agreed not to believe it. If Concubine De didn't want to fight for a good future for the Third Prince, then she and Concubine Rou would be natural rivals!
As long as he clings closely to Concubine De, he will always find an opportunity to take revenge on Concubine Rou!
……
Changchun Palace.
Ruoli walked into the inner room excitedly: "My lady, the young master and the second master sent a message in. They must have found a clue!"
Concubine Liang took the letter, her face still calm, but her slightly trembling fingers betrayed her emotions.
The letter said that Liang Fei's brother and uncle followed the clues she provided and had not yet found any evidence that Zhang Yuanqing was instructed by De Fei.
But they unexpectedly discovered that the Zhang family was originally involved in a corruption case, but finally got away with it intact.
The person in charge of trying this case was none other than Defei's uncle!
So they speculated that it was Concubine De who threatened the Zhang family's survival to make Zhang Yuanqing work for her and to bite Concubine Liang!
But Concubine De was not only one of the four concubines, but also the mother of the third prince. She could not be convicted based on speculation alone, so they were still looking for further evidence.
