"Fanghua seemed to suddenly react at this time and noticed something was wrong. She shouted that it was not her. Then she took her father's hand and went to the flower pot. She pointed at the pills inside and said that the ones she vomited were there. Everyone looked at the pills in the flower pot and kept silent. After all, whether Fanghua took the medicine every day, whether she took it or vomited it, the palace maids and eunuchs around her had to know. Therefore, the discovery of the medicine in the flower pot proved that it was not her who put it in Jiang's medicine.
"After that incident, Fanghua suddenly changed. It was as if the little child had donned armor, becoming even more unreasonable and misbehaving."
Meng Qi sighed and said that she was forced to do this.
"Later, Jiang passed away, and my father established Gao as his successor. Gao moved into Kunning Palace, and naturally, Yong'an followed suit. Fanghua moved out of the East Wing Hall and moved into the West Wing Hall. Since that incident, I haven't seen her much. It's only during grand occasions or when something important is going on in the palace, and we rarely talk. She seems to have forgotten what happened, and I don't want to talk about it anymore."
"Until that year when Lin passed away, she came to the mansion to offer condolences. She had originally come with Yong'an, but the Gao family suddenly came to the mansion looking for Yong'an, saying they had an urgent matter. They took advantage of Yong'an's absence from the palace and asked him to go to the Gao family. I personally sent Fanghua on a carriage to the palace. I don't know what happened that day, but I just felt something was wrong. Although there were many people and it was very busy, after Fanghua left for a while, I still asked Chu Yong to follow her and make sure to see Fanghua back to the palace."
Meng Qi looked at Song Chengze nervously, "Something happened?"
Song Chengze nodded. "I don't know who is targeting Fanghua, and I'm glad I made the impromptu decision to let Chu Yong go along and take a look. Originally, it wasn't far from our house to the palace, but he didn't see the car Fanghua was riding in. After asking at the palace gate, Fanghua didn't come back. You know, the shortest way from our house to the palace is to go east, and Fanghua couldn't have taken a detour." Chu Yong sent someone back to give me a message while he looked at several other palace gates.
"I was extremely anxious after receiving the news. Fanghua must have been plotted against. Yong'an was transferred away, and she was the only target. I asked Dong Hai to lead the search, but I didn't dare to let anyone know. Fortunately, I didn't have to worry for too long. Chu Yong carried Fanghua to Bibo Hall through the side door.
"Fanghua's eyes were closed at the time, and it was obvious that she was unconscious. Her clothes were neat, which made me feel relieved. Chu Yong said that they found the carriage on the way out of the city. There was no one in the carriage at the time. They searched everywhere and saw a woman's shoe in an abandoned yard. When he led people in, two masked men were about to untie Fanghua's clothes. When they saw someone coming in, they turned around and ran away without even a fight."
"Where are the guards, palace maids and eunuchs who follow Fanghua?" Meng Qi asked.
"I don't know. I only saw two palace maids who were also knocked unconscious in the carriage. The others were nowhere to be seen. I waited for Fanghua to wake up and told her what happened. She was surprised at first, then silent, and finally very calm. She first thanked me for saving her, and then asked me to find a carriage to take her back to the palace.
"I don't know what happened after she returned to the palace. During that time, I was busy with Lin's affairs and didn't go to the palace for a long time. I didn't hear any news from the palace, nor did I see my father deal with the guards. It was as if this incident had never happened. I wondered, could it be that Fanghua guessed who it was, and she had a plan in her mind, so she suppressed this matter?
"But after this incident, Fanghua's behavior became even more outrageous. She used to be okay with Gao and knew how to give in to Yong'an. But after that, she seemed to have become even more aggressive in the harem. She would complain to my father about anything that displeased her, no matter how big or small, causing everyone to complain but not dare to say much. She also began to curry favor with my father even more. My father likes to play chess, but not many people can guess his thoughts, and not many people enjoy playing chess with him. But Fanghua catered to my father's favor and always got to play with him. Every few days, my father would ask Fanghua to accompany him to Chengtian Palace, and his attention to Fanghua was even greater than before."
Song Chengze thought for a moment and continued, "Since Fanghua didn't bring up this matter, I never mentioned it and pretended it never happened. I also thought Fanghua wanted to forget it, and I never wanted her to owe me a favor for this matter. After all, she came to the Rui Palace to pay her respects to Lin Shi, which led to the accident.
"But since then, I seem to feel that Fanghua is helping me everywhere. As long as she is present or she knows about it, she will always come to my rescue and speak up for me in front of the emperor from time to time. When the other brothers are targeting me and I can't defend myself, she will also speak up at the right time, using her unreasonableness to make others speechless. At that time, I knew that this was her disguised gratitude. We both tacitly didn't say it, but we all knew it in our hearts."
"What a great way to kill two birds with one stone! If anything happens to Fanghua, not only will she be dealt with, but you'll also be implicated." Meng Qi said coldly, "You still don't know who did it? This is too cruel. Even if Fanghua is a little domineering, it's still just the tricks of a little girl. How much more extreme can it be? How could she be so cruel as to use such a murderous method?"
Song Chengze smiled coldly, "Yes, that's why they say the dirtiest and cruelest things happen in the royal family." Then he added, "I don't know who did it, but I think Fanghua should know. Even if she didn't know it at the time, she would know it later."
"So, it was Fanghua who suggested that Prince Cheng hold a birthday party for Princess Cheng?" Meng Qi asked.
Song Chengze shook his head. "No, she went to play chess with the emperor and told him about her fifth sister-in-law's birthday. She wanted him to give her something so that the empress would be proud."
