Chapter 118: Sowing Dissension
"Master, this is from Lian Ye."
During the lunch break, Yueya came in quietly holding something and handed it to Yunwan.
Lotus Leaf was one of the Lu family's informants that Lu Yuanduo had given to Yun Wan. Because a lotus leaf was drawn when the information was transmitted in a specific way, Crescent Moon was named after it.
This was the first time something was delivered overnight, and it was a plain and ordinary wooden box.
Yun Wan opened the wooden box and saw a box full of banknotes.
Seeing the thickness of the banknotes, Yueya took a deep breath and said, "This looks like there are tens of thousands of banknotes, right?"
Yun Wan counted and looked surprised: "One hundred thousand taels."
Yueya was stunned.
This is a huge sum of money. When has the Lu family ever been so generous?
There was a letter under the banknote, which said: "The Lu family is ashamed, please use it with peace of mind."
Yun Wan's eyes moved slightly, and she thought to herself that this seemed to be the Lu family's compensation to her.
This is indeed the Lu family's intention, not just Lu Yuanduo's.
They all knew that Concubine Yun in the palace was now favored by His Majesty. For the Lu family, as long as there was no blood feud between them, they would never make enemies with such a person.
I turned to the back of the note and saw two names written on it, just like last time.
Yun Wan wrote it down and burned it.
So far, she has four available people.
Yun Wan would not completely trust these people, but now she had nothing, so she used these people to occasionally find out some information.
Having made up his mind, Yun Wan asked, "How's things going at Changchun Palace?"
Yueya: "A few days ago, she had to boil medicine every day, but she hasn't done that in the past two days. Maybe the Concubine Shu's illness has healed."
Yun Wan stared at the banknotes in the wooden box, and raised the corners of his lips slightly: "It's just right, we should go and visit."
........
After a few days, Yun Wan stepped into Changchun Palace again, feeling exceptionally calm.
Hearing the summons, the newly promoted maid of honor in Changchun Palace came out to greet her with a respectful attitude: "This servant pays respects to the Empress Yun. My master has just woken up. Please wait a moment, Shaofeng. You will follow this servant."
Yun Wan: "What's your name?"
Palace maid: "Madam Concubine Yun, my name is Qiuyue."
"Qiuyue?" Yun Wan smiled faintly: "Qiuyue, with deep thoughts about the north, is a good name."
Qiuyue was stunned for a moment, "Thank you for the compliment, Your Majesty. This servant is just a common name."
After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Concubine Shu came in slowly. Her appearance remained the same, but she looked a little haggard.
She saw that Yun Wan was surprisingly quiet.
Finally, Yun Wan was the first to speak: "How is your Majesty? I come here uninvited, I hope you won't blame me."
Concubine Shu couldn't help but sarcastically said, "I dare not blame you, lest you be blamed by the emperor."
"Don't worry about me, Concubine Yun. I'm doing fine."
Yun Wan: "That's such a pity."
Concubine Shu stared: "You!"
She didn't know when Yun Wan became so eloquent.
"As expected, you're different after being Concubine Yun for a few days. You feel confident because you're favored by the emperor," she said sarcastically.
Yun Wan said calmly, "Thanks to the Empress."
Concubine Shu: "Do you think that even if Chuntang drugged you, His Majesty would let you go?"
"If it weren't for Chuntang, how could you have the honor of being Concubine Yun?"
Hearing this, Yun Wan sneered: "Do I have to thank her?"
Replace 'Chun Tang' with 'I', this is what Concubine Shu really meant.
Both of them knew it, but neither of them pointed it out.
Concubine Shu was angry for a long time, then drank a cup of tea and said calmly, "I don't want to argue with you today. I want to tell you sincerely that no one in the harem is simple. Although you are now Concubine Yun, you can get whatever you want by relying on the emperor's favor."
She smiled nonchalantly, "But a man's favor is illusory. If the emperor ever dislikes you, I'm afraid you'll suffer a fate even more miserable than Concubine Shen's."
The former Concubine Shen, now Concubine Shen, was not only disliked by His Majesty, but her face was also ruined and she lived a life worse than that of the palace maids.
Hearing the hidden meaning in her words, Yun Wan's expression froze slightly, and he tilted his head and asked, "What do you want to say?"
Concubine Shu said succinctly: "Join hands with me to deal with the Imperial Concubine and the Crown Prince."
It is well known that she and the imperial concubine are not on good terms, so it is okay to say it bluntly now.
She looked at Yun Wan and said, "You are favored by the emperor, but you are isolated and helpless. I am the opposite. I have the Third Prince and the Lu family, so my position is stable."
She was too favored, but had no backing. She didn't believe or understand the truth that a big tree attracts the wind, and a tree that stands out in the forest will be destroyed by the wind.
Concubine Shu is full of confidence.
"Really?"
Yun Wan pulled out a stack of banknotes from her sleeve and asked, "Your Majesty, look at what this is."
Under Concubine Shu's puzzled gaze, she pointed at the bank's seal on the banknote and said with a faint smile, "The Lu family sent someone to give me a banknote of 100,000 taels today."
"What?!"
Concubine Shu's expression was out of control.
Yun Wan sighed softly, "The Lu family feels guilty towards me and doesn't want to be enemies with me. They even know to spend money as compensation, but Madam Shufei, you..."
She smiled, mockery rising in her eyes: "You don't want to give anything, but you want me to help you deal with others. Your Majesty, do you think I'm a fool?"
The goal was achieved. Looking at Concubine Shu's gloomy face, Yun Wan stood up and left slowly.
Concubine Shu slapped the armrest of the chair, her face turning pale and blue: "Brother, are you confused? You didn't help me and helped this bitch!"
Especially since her brother had even written a letter a few days ago to reprimand her for her foolish actions and had taken back several people from her hands. This had never happened before.
Was it because she hadn't discussed it with him beforehand and plotted against Yun Wan? But they were blood relatives!
With Chuntang's previous experience as a lesson, Qiuyue stood aside and didn't dare to say a word, for fear that he would come up with some bad idea and end up losing his life.
When no one answered, the Third Prince came in. "Mother, I just saw my uncle... Madam Yun. Did she come to see you?"
As soon as the words came out, Concubine Shu scolded him coldly: "Shut up, and don't mention her anymore!"
After being scolded, the third prince was speechless.
The wet nurse knew that Concubine Shu was in a bad mood, so she hurriedly took the third prince out.
As she walked down the street, she shook her head and murmured, "After all, she's not my biological child..."
The Third Prince was very perceptive and asked curiously, "Nurse, what did you say? What do you mean they are not your biological children?"
The nurse's face changed drastically, and she hurriedly explained: "Your Highness heard it wrongly, this servant did not say anything."
After saying this, she hurried away with an excuse.
The third prince was puzzled, as the wet nurse had clearly said it.
......
After finishing his duties at court, Emperor Jingxuan came to Qiyun Palace as usual. When he entered the room, he saw Yun Wan looking unhappy. He walked over and took her in his arms and asked, "Who made Madam unhappy?"
Yun Wan frowned slightly, her beautiful eyes sparkling with light. "Your Majesty, can you promise Yun Wan one thing?"
"Madam said."
Yun Wan glanced up at the others, biting her lower lip and saying sadly, "If one day in the future, as others say, Your Majesty dislikes me, could you please show some mercy and let Yun Wan leave the palace?"
"Don't worry, Yun Wan will not get involved and will not cause any more trouble for Your Majesty."
"?"
Emperor Jingxuan suddenly became alert, and his first reaction was—
Who is so bold as to sow discord between him and his wife?
