Ling was inexplicably startled.
Thinking about being scolded by Long Yi just now, she couldn't help but feel worried that he would probably hold her accountable later.
Then he hurried back to the concubine and lowered his voice: "Aunt, you have to protect me."
"What's wrong again?" The concubine was very impatient.
"The prince..." Ling immediately changed her words, "The emperor was just being mean to me."
"Be fierce about small things."
She was still worried about the important matter of her position as empress dowager, so how could she care about Ling's trivial matters?
On this side, the aunt and nephew were each worried about their own affairs.
On the other side, Long Yi was brought to the presence of the late emperor and his concubines by Qiao Wanyou.
She couldn't see it. Although she was taken there, it was actually Long Yi who supported her and walked to the presence of the imperial sisters-in-law.
"Wanyou has already told me that what the imperial sisters-in-law have requested must be welcomed by my brother, so I have granted it."
"Thank you, Emperor Jin!"
The late emperor's concubines nodded in thanks.
This is a good thing. When they arrive at the mausoleum, they can feel more at ease.
There are no more intrigues and deceptions as before, but only mutual companionship. Perhaps they can all become true sisters.
This harem will be handed over to a new group of women.
--
Fu Ciyi, Yan Funing, Pang Gaozhuo and Yan Bojian have arrived at the Imperial Guard camp.
The four of them entered a tent.
The woman in the tent heard the noise and turned around quickly.
Pang Gaozhuo introduced: "This girl is called Cai Muge, the half-sister of Cai Mushi."
Yan Funing asked her, "Why are you in the abandoned prince's mansion?"
Cai Muge saw Yan Funing, but didn't recognize her. After all, they had never met before. "May I ask who she is?"
Pang Gaozhuo said proudly, "This is the wife of the Prime Minister, now the Third Prince's consort. You can call her whatever you want."
After all, Long Wenyu is the third one.
Even though he is not the crown prince yet, his identity as the third prince is a foregone conclusion.
Yan Funing said, "You can call me Madam Fu Shao, or Miss Yan Er."
Cai Muge reacted: "You are Yan Funing."
"It's me."
"Cai Mushi often mentions you. She hates you to death." Cai Muge said directly, "Now I hate her too."
Yan Funing said, "She hates me simply because she coveted my husband and I refused to give him up. She brought such hatred upon herself."
"Yes, my hatred is real." Cai Muge said slowly, "My stepmother tricked me into going to the abandoned prince's residence. At that time, I thought it was my stepmother who came to talk to me, but I was drugged that night and was given to Long Yaodong by my stepmother."
"Long Yaodong is a pervert who tortures people in every way."
"I hate him."
"I still hate Cai Mushi. She ruined me. She used my body to curry favor with him. It makes me sick."
Yan Funing asked directly, "If Cai Mushi was right in front of you right now, what would you do?"
"I will kill her with one blow."
Cai Muge said this with gritted teeth.
"This is the reaction anyone would have if they encountered something like what you did." Yan Funing shook her head. "Do you think you can get revenge this way?"
"What do you want me to do?" Cai Muge asked.
"It's not what I want you to do, but what you want to do." Yan Funing walked out. "Take your time to think about it. Talk to me when you're done."
Fu Ciyi, Pang Gaozhuo and Yan Bojian followed him out.
The four of them arrived outside the tent.
Pang Gaozhuo asked, "Did the young lady realize anything?"
"Cai Tingzhou wants to replace his legitimate daughter with a concubine's daughter. From what I just saw, I only saw Cai Muge's desire to live. Although she hates Cai Mushi, she is afraid of Cai Tingzhou and Cai Mushi in her heart. As long as she can survive, she doesn't want revenge."
Yan Funing expressed her feelings.
"The Cai Muge I just saw was very calm. She probably thought that since she was left behind, she had a chance to survive and would not be implicated by Long Yaodong's lineage."
"So using a woman like this to deal with Cai Mushi won't do much harm."
Fu Ciyi said calmly, "This woman is actually Long Yaodong's woman too. We should have dealt with her together. There's no point in keeping her now. Let's kill her."
Yan Bojian said, "Since that's the case, let's kill him now so that we can give the late emperor an explanation."
At this moment, Cai Muge was hiding behind the curtain of the tent, and she heard all the talking outside.
After hearing this, she hurried out: "I really want to kill Cai Mushi, and I also want to kill Cai Tingzhou."
"Patricide is a serious crime," Pang Gaozhuo said, "but we didn't ask you to do it."
"Yes, I understand." Cai Muge said.
Yan Funing spoke up, "To tell you the truth, Cai Mushi chose you to serve Long Yaodong because she wasn't fertile. Your figure is likely to make it easier for you to conceive, so she and Madam Cai chose you among her concubines. When you become pregnant with Long Yaodong's child and give birth successfully, Cai Mushi will leave the mother and the child. She's not using you to curry favor, but to borrow your womb."
Cai Muge was shocked when he heard this: "How did you know?"
"Cai Mushi not only consulted the doctor of the Cai Mansion, but also consulted the doctors in the clinic. My medical skills are pretty good, so it's not difficult for me to get this information." Yan Funing said frankly.
After knowing the truth and recalling the expressions of his father and elder sister, Cai Muge was furious.
"So they wanted to kill me all along?" she cried. "Why, why did they do this to me?"
Crying and shouting, she rushed to Yan Funing and said, "Teach me, how can I take revenge?"
"I don't know how to teach you." Yan Funing shook her head. "I'd like to ask you if you have the strength to kill her with a single blow."
Suddenly, fragments of my past life came back to my mind.
