The floor plan was very simple, just a square page with a few scattered red dots that were quite eye-catching.
Chen Yuwei's main purpose in coming here was to see how Consort Ling would handle things. If her methods were too crude, she might have to provide additional assistance.
Let's zoom in on the area marked with red dots and see what tricks our Consort Ling has up her sleeve.
Chen Yuwei's tone sounded very playful, as if she didn't take the setup to heart at all.
system:……
The system silently swallowed its evaluation of the host, finding it rather pretentious.
The floor plan was enlarged again, and the red dots disappeared, replaced by 3D-printed images.
One by one, tiny witchcraft dolls, no bigger than the palm of your hand, appeared on it, with their birth dates and times written on the front and back.
'Tsk tsk tsk, the fabric and handwriting used for the doll look very carefully made.'
Moreover, these birth dates and times were not only for the Emperor, but also for Consort Ling herself and several princes, including Yongyan.
"Consort Ling is trying to make me the public enemy of the harem, showing me absolutely no mercy!"
system:……
The system thought to itself that Consort Ling wanted to kill the entire Yikun Palace faction and was definitely aiming to take their lives, so of course she wouldn't choose to back down or hold back.
'Host, what are your thoughts?'
It seems that Consort Ling made excellent arrangements; at least Hongli was able to pinpoint Chen Yuwei the moment he saw the witchcraft doll.
"I don't have any specific ideas, but I think we can continue to acquire more witchcraft dolls, like those for the high-ranking concubines in the harem. Why not use their birth dates and times?"
If you're going to offend someone, just go all the way and stop with this whole "write about the son but not the mother" drama.
With a slight upturn of her lips, Chen Yuwei continued to express to the system her strong determination to perfect the scheme to frame Consort Ling.
system:……
Has the host gone mad? Why is he adding fuel to the fire, complaining that it's not burning bright enough?
Chen Yuwei did indeed have this intention. She could understand Consort Ling's logic in framing her, but how to put it? The matter hadn't escalated enough.
Based on the assumption that the bigger the incident in the harem, the more furious it would be for Emperor Hongli, the little thing that Consort Ling caused would only enrage him enough to lead him to order Chen Yuwei to be imprisoned.
He hasn't even considered killing me yet.
In other words, if Hongli doesn't intend to kill Chen Yuwei, then when things take a turn for the worse, he won't intend to kill Consort Ling either.
That won't do. What Chen Yuwei needs to avoid most is the Emperor choosing Yongyan as his successor.
If Consort Ling's punishment is not severe enough, the conflict between Yongyan and Hongli will not be deep enough, and they will have a chance to reconcile.
Chen Yuwei didn't want that possibility; she wanted Yongshou Palace to be completely kicked out of the game, leaving Yongyan no chance to rise to power.
Or, if she were to use this incident to implicate Hongli and make his weakened body unable to support him in continuing to work and govern, would that be considered an extra benefit for her?
Chen Yuwei suddenly had a brilliant idea and even estimated in advance the extent of Hongli's anger at this matter.
Not enough, still not enough.
System: ...What's not enough? Why does the host seem so eccentric?
Is there something that can be improved here? Are we really going to do something like self-inflicted damage, or the thief crying "stop thief"?
Chen Yuwei stayed in the front hall of Jiuzhou Qingyan for a while until the steward finished his work and allowed Chen Yuwei to check it over and find no mistakes. Only then did Chen Yuwei ride in a sedan chair back to her own bedroom.
Even the news of Chen Yuwei's sudden examination reached the ears of Hongli in the inner palace.
Unfortunately, Hongli was enjoying a newly choreographed dance by the palace women of the Yuanmingyuan Garden. After listening to it, he simply waved his hand and did not retain any impression on them.
This made Gao Yu, who delivered the message, very uneasy. The more nonchalant the emperor seemed, the more anxious he became.
Seeing the indecent things happening in the room, Gao Yu decided to turn a blind eye and simply left.
Gao Yu, who had managed to escape, was unaware that her master had noticed her after she left.
Hongli's personality was unpredictable, and those who served him had to be on high alert to avoid falling into traps.
Gao Yu had served him long enough and had learned quite a bit about Hongli's various official and private affairs. Hongli had long wanted to get rid of her.
However, Gao Yu always performed better, making it difficult for Hongli to seize the opportunity.
This time... Hongli's eyes were cold, and his sinister gaze sent chills down one's spine.
Thud—
A dancing palace maid accidentally fell to the ground and, terrified, begged for mercy to save her life.
Hongli looked at the scantily clad woman kneeling on the ground, her body sprawled out, and chuckled as he told her to get up. "It's alright, keep playing the music, keep dancing!"
How could we spoil his good mood on such a wonderful day just because he tripped and fell?
A smile played on his lips, but Hongli's face was so full of wrinkles that it was impossible to see any kindness in him. Instead, it looked like a sarcastic, forced smile.
The women, feeling frightened, immediately swayed their slender waists even more vigorously.
The melodious music filled my ears, and the dance before my eyes was captivating.
Hongli shook his head and swayed his body, his fingers resting on his lap waving slightly upwards.
If you listen carefully, you can even hear a little tune coming from Hongli's mouth, which perfectly describes the appearance of a tyrannical ruler.
The excitement of Jiuzhou Qingyan didn't reach Chen Yuwei's ears, because she was busy with Consort Ling's affairs.
Through the system, he knew in advance about the witchcraft dolls and handwriting imitations created by Consort Ling.
