Chapter 200 Everything is ready
"What did you say? The Fourth Prince went to Yongshou Palace again?"
The queen's expression froze after hearing Jianqiu's words.
It turned out that if he was not her biological son, she would not be able to raise him well. She had invested so much effort in him for such a long time, but he was still so ungrateful and kept running to her mortal enemy to show his affection.
"Does he think he can please both sides this way? He is indeed born of a lowly family. If my eldest prince were still alive, I would never allow him to hang around in front of me."
The Queen had never treated the Fourth Prince sincerely. In her heart, the Fourth Prince was just a tool for her to preserve the wealth and glory of the Ulanara family.
"What did he do when he went to Yongshou Palace?"
"I am useless. The Yongshou Palace is too tight-lipped. I have not been able to find out anything."
Ever since the last incident involving Zhen Huan, Zhen Huan has carefully inspected the entire Yongshou Palace. Now the Yongshou Palace can be said to be impregnable.
"Whatever. If I can't find it, then I can't find it."
For the Queen, as long as the Fourth Prince can finally ascend to that position and he is kept under her name, then she will be the honorable Queen Mother, the Empress Dowager. When the time comes, the Fourth Prince will have to choose whoever she asks him to be the Queen.
Although her previous attempt to contact court officials and advise the emperor to appoint a crown prince did not succeed, she never gave up. Now she is looking for the next suitable opportunity, and she will not let the emperor get away with it in front of the court officials.
What she didn't expect was that Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan were secretly investigating the cause of Queen Chunyuan's death, which would be enough to give her a heavy blow.
The harem now seems calm on the surface, but in fact everyone has their own little thoughts, especially in the Chuxiu Palace which is like a cold palace. No one would have thought that there are countless dark things hidden in this almost forgotten corner of the palace.
"Is everything ready?"
Jianqiu appeared here again that day. She had come here once more since she had talked with Rouying last time. At that time, Rouying clearly stated that she would make Zhen Huan and Nian Shilan pay the price, and this was exactly the result Jianqiu wanted.
She came here today just to confirm again whether Rou agreed to the next specific action.
"Don't worry, I've prepared everything. Aunt Jianqiu, please tell the Empress that I will ensure that Concubine Hua and Concubine Xi never have the chance to compete with her for anything."
Even now, Rou Yingda didn't know that the things Jianqiu promised her did not have the Queen's approval, and everything was her private behavior.
"Be careful. You have to know that things like this must be dealt with immediately. If we give them the opportunity to fight back, the consequences will be something none of us can afford."
Jianqiu reminded Rou again to agree. She knew deep down that this was the most critical time for her and she had already made preparations. If she failed, she would use her life to protect Nian Nian Hong's safety.
What they didn't expect was that this matter had been noticed by someone from the very beginning.
Just after Jianqiu left, Ling'er took advantage of the time when Rouyue was asleep at night and quickly ran out and knocked on the door of Yongshou Palace.
"Aunt Jinxi, please tell Concubine Xi that they are ready to take action. Rou Yan is now looking for the right opportunity to take action."
After explaining everything, Ling'er left without a moment's delay. She felt happier than ever before, and she finally felt that she had hope for her future.
After receiving the news, Jin Xi looked at the candlelight in the house that had long been extinguished, and prepared to report back to the young lady early tomorrow morning.
Early the next morning, after Zhen Huan got up, Jing Xi quietly told her everything that happened last night.
"Sister Hua's guess was right. They really can't hold back any longer. I just didn't expect Jianqiu to be so impatient this time."
After hearing what Jin Xi said, Zhen Huan thought about the results that Nian Shilan had found out before, and she couldn't help but feel that the matter was settled.
They finally waited for this opportunity. For so many years, they had to be on guard every day, worried that the queen would do something bad to them in secret. The sisters were already tired of such a life.
If I can overthrow the queen in one fell swoop this time, and with so many sisters by my side, my future life in this deep palace will not be so difficult.
"Let's go to Yikun Palace."
After asking Jin Xi to help her with her makeup, Zhen Huan had a simple breakfast and decided to go to Yiku Palace.
"Liu Zhu, go to Cun Ju Hall and invite Sister Mei to Yikun Palace."
This is the most important moment for all the sisters, and they must not allow any accidents to happen.
Not long after Zhen Huan arrived at Yiku Palace, Shen Meizhuang also arrived.
"Sister Hua, Sister Mei, let's discuss the next steps now. Since Rou has agreed that she feels everything is ready and is looking for the right time, why don't we give her this opportunity as soon as possible? That way, we won't have to worry all day long in the future."
"Indeed, but we must think through every detail of this matter and not allow for the slightest mistake."
Chen Meizhuang also knew about this a few days ago, and she fully supported their decision.
"React, I had an idea before you came, let me tell you."
After Nian Shilan learned that night that everything Ling'er said was true, she has been thinking about this matter seriously.
Since Rou promised to focus mainly on her and Zhen Huan, she had to let her wish come true.
"The flowers in the imperial garden have been blooming beautifully these days. We palace sisters haven't gathered together for a long time. Let's take this opportunity to have some fun together."
Nian Shilan thought, since Rou had the courage to poison, how could she not help her? Not only would she take the initiative to give her the opportunity, she would also make the matter known to everyone in the palace.
"Sister Hua, Huan'er, our main goal this time is to find Jianqiu's fault, but we can't joke with our own safety. Since Rou has chosen to gamble everything on this, her poison must be extremely cruel. Should we..."
Nian Shilan and Zhen Huan both knew about Shen Meizhuang's worries, but if they didn't let everyone see with their own eyes that they were really poisoned, how could they catch the big fish of the Queen?
"Don't worry, Sister Mei. Sister Hua had someone secretly take some of the medicinal powder that Rou promised to hide a few days ago and gave it to Doctor Wen. I think the antidote Doctor Wen prepared is almost ready."
Even if they have decided to take the risk, they will not really joke about their lives.
"That's good, that's good."
But even so, they must not take it lightly until everything is settled.
