"Don't worry, I won't offend the Imperial Household Department. We have a mutually beneficial relationship with them."
Looking steadily at Songhe beside her, Wei Hanyu said softly, which at the same time signified her rejection of Ping'er's unreliable suggestion.
Unreliable?
Songhe felt a little unsure, and after coming out of the inner room, she kept glancing back.
"Aunt Songhe, what are you doing?"
Ping'er looked at Songhe, who was walking very slowly and kept glancing behind her, with a very strange expression.
Upon hearing the voice, Songhe turned to look at Ping'er, her expression serious, and said, "You must not repeat what you just said to the Empress."
Now that our master is in critical condition and is also involved in the Wei family matter, we cannot easily offend other forces.
Otherwise, it would be incredibly easy for the Imperial Household Department to sabotage Yongshou Palace.
Songhe had been in the palace for many years and knew a great deal about institutions like the Imperial Household Department.
Even if you offend a high-ranking concubine in the harem, you can't offend the Imperial Household Department. Otherwise, you'll be left with a bitter pill to swallow, unable to express your grievances.
Ping'er was suddenly praised and warned, and she seemed quite unhappy.
What exactly did that old woman mean by that? Could it be that she was secretly jealous of her harmonious relationship with the Empress and wanted to set a trap for her?
Besides, she also came from the Imperial Household Department. No matter what, the people in the Imperial Household Department are still servants. How dare a mere servant cause trouble for his master? It's truly laughable.
Moreover, her words were not for her own benefit; every word she uttered was for the sake of her master's well-being.
Ping'er felt wronged, especially since this wasn't the first time Songhe had done this, and he would often offer advice on this matter.
The key point is that Ping'er didn't want to listen, and even regarded Song He as a hypothetical enemy.
This also led to a strained relationship between Songhe and Ping'er, with any ordinary or commonplace remark being interpreted as having hidden meanings.
Especially now, after Songhe finishes speaking, he always looks at Ping'er with a superior expression, making Ping'er seem even more ignorant (although this is true).
snort!
“Auntie, you shouldn’t talk nonsense. We receive a monthly allowance from our master, so of course we should share his burdens. Ping’er doesn’t understand what you mean by that, Auntie. Is there anything wrong with thinking about our master?”
When I have the chance, I will definitely use my brain to come up with ideas for my master.
Unable to voice the unspoken words in her heart, Ping'er simply walked past Songhe and went out.
Praise and Harmony: ...
Songhe stared at Ping'er as she left, completely bewildered and incredulous.
Hey, did this person misunderstand?
Was Ping'er's attitude just now an expression of dissatisfaction with her? Did she feel that what she said was intentionally making things difficult for her?
If you're not thinking clearly, you should take your medicine as soon as you're sick!
Songhe couldn't help but curse under his breath, his eyes instantly turning incredibly sinister.
Wei Hanyu, who was resting in the inner room, was completely unaware of this brief exchange between the two maids.
Even if she knew the truth, Wei Hanyu wouldn't say much; at most, she would just stand by and watch the two fight.
Wei Hanyu would rather see them as enemies than coexist peacefully and cooperate.
At least this way, it will be easier for her, as the mistress, to control them.
It should be noted that the art of managing subordinates is also a skill, and it is not easy to master.
However, based on Ping'er's suggestion, Wei Hanyu closed her eyes slightly and considered everything in her mind.
I am indeed tempted, but as Songhe said, I can't do it for now.
Now that the Wei family has fallen from power, she has lost her protection, and the shrewd people in the Imperial Household Department will likely soon take steps to sever ties with Yongshou Palace.
At this moment, Wei Hanyu had to pray that the Imperial Household Department wouldn't be too harsh on their Yongshou Palace, so she had no time to teach the Imperial Household Department a lesson.
Isn't that like an old man hanging himself because he thinks he's too old to live?
However, he couldn't target the entire Imperial Household Department, but he still needed to find an opportunity to deal with Eunuch Le, the culprit who caused him to be reprimanded by the Emperor today.
This person was a trusted confidant of the Wei family, but he was too stupid and not very smart in his actions. For example, he would give away Shu brocade without thinking.
Wei Hanyu inwardly cursed Eunuch Le for his wrongdoing, without reflecting on her own greed, love of showing off, and having Ping'er send the Shu brocade to the Imperial Clothing Bureau to be made into clothes for her to wear.
Humans are just prone to double standards; whether they hold high positions or have lowly status, they're all the same.
The decision regarding the Wei family was made while Wei Hanyu was resting in Yongshou Palace to prepare for childbirth.
The mastermind was beheaded, and the rest were all exiled.
Wei Hanyu's relatives were all among the people who were about to be exiled.
Upon hearing the news, Wei Hanyu couldn't help but cry, which caused her pregnancy to become unstable. Under the diagnosis of the imperial physician, she had to pinch her nose and drink medicine to prevent miscarriage for half a month.
She went from being a favored concubine in the palace to becoming a concubine whose family was guilty of crimes.
Wei Hanyu's life was full of ups and downs, which most people couldn't handle.
But she managed to grit her teeth and pull through, and despite such a blow, she didn't go into premature labor.
"Putting everything else aside, just talking about Consort Ling's character, she is truly admirable."
If it were anyone else, they would probably be crying and upset for a long time.
Even if the emperor reprimanded her and she couldn't plead for him, she would still secretly call the imperial physicians over quite a few times.
An example is Consort Ning, whose child was taken to be raised by the Dowager Consort, and Consort Qing.
But what about Consort Ling? She has consulted the imperial physician twice in this period, and the only news is that she is slightly agitated and not in a life-threatening situation.
Tsk tsk tsk
Chen Yuwei and Xia He chatted casually, praising Consort Ling for her kind heart.
She truly deserves the title of Imperial Noble Consort, and she managed to dethrone the Empress.
