"Here, here, and this part—I have circled the problematic areas and returned them to the Imperial Household Department, instructing them to uphold the law impartially."
What was the purpose of the palace rules that were passed down? Once established, the concubines in the harem were required to learn and abide by them.
Those who disobey palace rules should simply be given two copies of the Complete Palace Rules and regulations to relearn them!
Isn't Consort Ling arrogant and domineering? Doesn't she like to argue and fight with her? Chen Yuwei felt that this time she couldn't let Consort Ling get away unscathed again.
She has a good temper and has been paying attention to self-cultivation lately, but none of that is a reason for her to let others come to her door to bully and humiliate her.
Upon hearing her master's words, Xingkui quickly nodded and took away the settled accounts.
Secretly noting down what her master had said, Xingkui personally went to the Imperial Household Department to warn them not to try to cheat or cause trouble for Yikun Palace.
Whether someone put in effort or not, whether they put in their heart or not, how much effort they put in, how much thought they expended—Xingkui has seen it all in the harem over the years.
"Her Majesty is very angry now. The chief stewards are not just sitting around in the palace doing nothing. How could they have managed to make things like this?"
Now, a chance to redeem yourself is presented to you, the chief stewards. Whether you seize this opportunity and succeed in gaining the Empress's favor depends on your own abilities.
"My lords, please don't disappoint Her Majesty. There are plenty of people in the Imperial Household Department waiting to serve her."
If you don't want to do it, then hurry up and get out of the position. Xingkui's eyes turned cold, and she calmly turned and left under the trembling gazes of the crowd.
Her departure instantly made the previously suffocating environment feel a bit better.
Those who had previously been too afraid to speak patted each other's chests, marveling at the overwhelming aura of the people from Yikun Palace, which they found quite overwhelming.
"Hey, stop with the nonsense. What are we going to do about what the Imperial Noble Consort instructed us to do?"
"Could it be that they really intend to take action against Yongshou Palace? There is also a concubine with a child living there."
"Do you still intend to continue playing dumb? You dare disobey the message given by Yikun Palace?"
"Hiss, it's like gods fighting, and mortals suffer. We're just trying to make a living off the Imperial Household Department."
Moreover, these people are now under the direct jurisdiction of the Imperial Noble Consort.
"Go ahead and do it. Her Majesty has laid out all the palace rules. We are just doing our duty."
...
Chen Yuwei had managed palace affairs for many years, and it was impossible for the Imperial Household Department to cause trouble with its own direct superiors.
As for Yongshou Palace, which displeased its leader, then it should be cut, abolished, or suppressed as appropriate, in any case, everything should be done in accordance with palace rules.
It should be noted that some of the regulations that Consort Ling was used for exceeded the allowances she was entitled to.
So when Consort Ling realized she was being targeted and everything was going wrong, it was already too late.
Not only did Yongshou Palace become the laughingstock of the entire harem, but she was also forbidden from complaining or seeking justice.
Even because of the Empress Dowager and the Emperor's health, the concubines in the harem were all keeping a low profile, so she couldn't be so inconsiderate at such a time.
Consort Ling: ...
What could Consort Ling do? She could only grit her teeth and bear it, and take the opportunity to make a few sarcastic remarks about Chen Yuwei when she came to Yikun Palace to pay her respects, trying to get back at her.
Although Chen Yuwei always remained silent and pretended not to know when faced with Consort Ling's sarcasm, Consort Ling would always encounter various small troubles after returning home, even if she gained the upper hand verbally.
After a while, Consort Ling learned to behave herself and stopped causing trouble with her words.
Chen Yuwei had no time to pay attention to Consort Ling's verbal sparring; what she cared about most were the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
The Emperor has regained consciousness and is gradually recovering under the full care of the imperial physicians.
Although the Empress Dowager announced a temporary closure of the palace for recuperation, the signs of her stroke had not disappeared; she was still unable to speak fluently and was trembling all over.
Chen Yuwei learned through her own channels that the Empress Dowager had become half-crippled, and she was overjoyed.
He instructed Xingkui to find the imperial physician who treated the Empress Dowager at Cining Palace and to make sure she received proper care.
Chen Yuwei felt that if the Emperor's health improved and he took the opportunity to meet with the Empress Dowager, the mother and son might get into a fight over the situation.
Oh dear, I can't even think about it, it would be such a sin.
Chen Yuwei touched her lips lightly, feeling that her plan hadn't been implemented much, as the Empress Dowager and the Emperor had already collapsed to the ground.
That was a bit too fast. I don't know whether to call myself a brilliant strategist or to marvel at how these two, mother and son, lacked composure and were easily outmaneuvered.
This is a great opportunity. 'System, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we're poised to exceed our mission targets.'
Before the system could reply, Chen Yuwei stood up, turned around and called Xingkui over, instructing her to monitor Cining Palace and Yangxin Hall while also bribing the palace servants in those two palaces.
Especially in Cining Palace, "the Empress Dowager's health condition is more serious than the Emperor's. If this continues, the palace servants in Cining Palace will definitely panic."
At that time, they will be able to wait for the rabbits to come to them in Yikun Palace, and they will surely be able to gain a group of palace servants who will come to join them.
If used properly, it can keep abreast of the latest news from the Cining Palace, preventing the Empress Dowager from resorting to despicable means to achieve her goals in a desperate situation.
Xingkui nodded, reassuring her mistress, "This servant will arrange the manpower immediately."
Yikun Palace's connections extend throughout the entire harem, even reaching the least populated Cold Palace.
"Well, pick some clever, sensible, and perceptive servants. Cining Palace is quite sensitive, but there are still some loyal servants inside."
Although the Empress Dowager has been unpopular for many years, the fact that there are still many elderly people among the palace servants in Cining Palace proves that she has some management skills.
