Chapter 520 Rong Fei launches
"Not only will you not be able to avenge yourself, but you will also be implicated. Naturally, I will stop you.
But now...even if something happens, it is Tong Jia who is responsible, and it has nothing to do with you, so I am suggesting this, as it is a good opportunity."
Facts proved that Nanny Wu's concerns were all correct, but Huipin was dominated by hatred at the time and wanted to avenge her children. She was instigated by the villains and was charged with the crime of murdering Prince Chenghu.
Fortunately, the Emperor spared Huipin's life for the sake of Prince Chengqing, but that was all. After that, Huipin never received favor again.
Huipin felt a little guilty, but it was not that she deliberately suspected Nanny Wu. It was just that she had a criminal record.
"Mammy, it's not that I don't trust you, it's just... you've been with me for so long, I think you know Rong Fei the best.
Even though she's down and out now, believe it or not, if something harmful really came into Zhongcui Palace, she would definitely notice it immediately."
Rong Fei was such a weird woman that Huipin still hadn't completely let go of her suspicions about her. She was certain that if Rong Fei was truly a time traveler, she must have a cheat code, and maybe even a system.
So, she must be crazy to want to go against Concubine Rong. Aren’t the lessons from the past enough?
"Besides, Rong Fei has been assisting in the management of palace affairs for such a long time. Even if she has been pushing the power away from others, who knows if she has laid some hidden tricks.
Who knows, as soon as we start thinking about it, Concubine Rong might have already heard the news and is planning to kill us and the Tong Jia clan together."
Having said this... Nanny Wu subconsciously looked at the two palace maids in the room - Qingsu and Cuijing.
These two, like me, have been through a lot with the master and can be considered his confidants. If even they... that would be too scary.
Qing Su was so shocked by Nanny Wu's sharp eyes that she almost knelt down and cried out for justice. She was loyal to her master.
Even Cui Jing's expression was slightly shaken. She clenched her hands into fists, then released them without a trace. At such moments, it was crucial to remain calm.
"Mammy, what are you looking at them for? I'm just giving you an example."
Nanny Wu sighed deeply, "It's good that the master doesn't want to deal with Rong Fei. Then we should raise the prince well and not get involved in those matters."
Not getting involved...that's impossible.
Who made Niuhulu die so young?
Putting aside other things, if Tong Jia really came to power, given her temper, Huipin, who had once been favored and had a prince as the head of the palace, would definitely have a hard time.
In this life, even if Tong Jia eventually becomes the Imperial Noble Consort, her family must not be allowed to dominate the country.
"By the way, let's send the message to Zhongcui Palace now, and make sure nothing goes wrong."
This is the case in novels. Many misunderstandings are caused by information asymmetry. What if Wang Sheng has already started to act, but something goes wrong in Zhongcui Palace, and the news has never reached Rong Fei, causing Rong Fei to misunderstand that he is plotting against her?
"Master, rest assured, I will make arrangements now."
After Nanny Wu came back and reported that Concubine Rong had received the news and expressed her willingness to cooperate, Concubine Hui finally breathed a sigh of relief and waited for the show to begin.
"Master, it's done!" Wang Sheng smiled so hard that his teeth were showing.
"Say it quickly!"
"Concubine Tong Jia of Chengqian Palace had her palace power taken away and was reprimanded by His Majesty. Even so, His Majesty did not intervene and instead sent Liang Jiugong."
"This concubine has been in the palace for nearly a year, but she has never even seen the Emperor. She is unique."
There are not many concubines in the palace now, and Tong Jia is not one of those powerless and invisible people who came in through the selection. But the Emperor has not forgotten Tong Jia, but avoided her. Isn't this a cause for ridicule?
Thinking back to when Tong Jia entered the palace, she was so glorious that she almost said she was the queen.
"And then? Nothing?"
Nanny Wu reminded her, "Concubine Tong Jia lost her power just after she gained it, and she was treated so humiliatingly. It's already very... After all, she is a member of the Tong family."
Huipin didn't think this was enough. However, she was not confident that Kangxi's partiality had been cured. She just couldn't believe that Rongfei would miss such a good opportunity.
"Could it be that the Chengqian Palace only took action once and was then dealt with?"
"Probably not." Wang Sheng said hesitantly, "A few days ago, there were rumors that Liang Jiugong was seen dragging Cheng Qiangong to the Ministry of Punishment."
When Wang Sheng mentioned the three words "Ministry of Punishment", he couldn't help but shudder. For slaves like them, the Ministry of Punishment was hell.
I also had a share in the fate of those people. No, that's not right. What does this have to do with me? It was because they followed the wrong master.
"Rumors? How come I don't know this news?" Huipin picked up the self-proclaimed title that had not been used for a long time. She suspected that Wang Sheng was deliberately hiding it from her.
"Master, please calm down. When this news first came out, a palace servant from Chengqian Palace came out and said that Liang Jiugong was going to deliver the reward from His Majesty to his master. If you dare to say nonsense again, you are questioning His Majesty's decision.
So for a while, no one dared to speak out, and the rumor was only spread among a small group of servants.
"I didn't know about this at first, but after the incident at Chengqian Palace, the servants who had heard the rumor connected the dots and thought it might be true, so they reported it."
Huipin sneered and said, "Tong Jia is smart. She knows whose banner to pull even if she has to be tough."
Nanny Wu asked curiously, "Master, Chengqian Palace's reaction is not right.
Logically speaking, after the incident, Concubine Tong Jia would have known that her servant had acted without authorization and would have restrained him. So how could something else happen later?
"What's so strange about this? Maybe after the incident, His Majesty didn't give Tong Jia any face in his handling of the matter, which made her feel humiliated. Then she became angry and blamed everything on Rong Fei, and then...
Take revenge."
When she said the last few words, a strange light flashed in Huipin's eyes.
If it is really as he thought, Tonggiya clan will no longer be a threat.
In March of the sixteenth year of the Kangxi reign, Rong Fei of Zhongcui Palace launched a rebellion.
The six palaces in the east and west were all watching. If Concubine Rong gave birth to another prince, then Zhongcui Palace would have five princes.
Even if the two princes above him are not qualified to inherit the throne, the threat from Zhongcui Palace cannot be underestimated.
The fear of death is nothing compared to supreme power. Even though they know the consequences of being exposed, the ambitious people still take action.
Undercurrents were surging everywhere in the palace. No one wanted Rong Fei's baby to be born safely, except the master of the Qing Dynasty and Rong Fei's children.
Perhaps the malice of the people alarmed the heavens, or perhaps Rong Fei's good luck had all run out. This was clearly not her first child, so it shouldn't have been so difficult to give birth to.
But the fact is that Concubine Rong had a difficult delivery and her cervix was not dilated.
If this continues, not to mention what will happen to Concubine Rong, the royal heir will definitely be lost.
The palace maids and the imperial physicians did not dare to make a decision on their own and could only ask the Emperor for instructions. Unfortunately... the Emperor's face turned ashen, and he wished he could eat the palace maids who came to ask for instructions, but he remained silent.
Didn't they say His Majesty had already abandoned Concubine Rong? Looking at this, it doesn't seem like that at all. Could it be that His Majesty is looking so grim because he's worried about the heir to the throne?
But if that's the case, shouldn't His Majesty make the decision directly to save the heir? The longer it's delayed, the more dangerous the heir will be.
No one thought His Majesty would disregard the safety of the heir to the throne for Concubine Rong, let alone a concubine of bannerman origin, even if she was the Empress, what would it matter? In a choice where the heir to the throne was the other party, she could only be the one to be sacrificed.
Some of them were smart enough to glance at the pale-faced Prince Chengrui and Prince Saiyinchahun, and thought self-righteously: Perhaps the Emperor was concerned about the feelings of the two princes, so he pretended not to make a decision at the first time.
Concubine Nianhulu did figure out something. She estimated that since the situation in Zhongcui Palace had dragged on for so long, Shoukang Palace must have received the news. The Empress Dowager might be on her way here now.
After all, even if the Empress Dowager was ill, since it concerned the crown prince, it would not be good for the Grand Empress Dowager to just stay by the Empress Dowager's side without showing any concern. If something really happened, it would not be good for the Empress Dowager's reputation.
