Chapter 369 Yixiu 47
Three months passed quickly. During this period, Geng was very obedient. Even after three months, she never went out. At most, she would come to visit Yixiu occasionally and then leave. She lived peacefully for six months.
Yinzhen was not so busy anymore. He stayed at home most of the time and went to the backyard more often.
As this happened more often, his tastes were naturally revealed.
Among the elders, Nian Shilan still served the most, followed by Yixiu. However, among the newer ones, Lu Gege was the most popular, and her number of servings gradually increased, and she was actually on par with Li and Fei.
Moreover, she came from a good family, was as intelligent as Geng, and her appearance was comparable to Li's at her peak. She was also more knowledgeable and interesting, so it was no wonder that Yinzhen was willing to visit her more often.
Cao Qinmo, who lived in the same courtyard with her, was much inferior in every aspect. Although she was scheming and scheming and had few rivals in the mansion, she was not favored by the prince, so even if she had thousands of calculations and plans, it would be useless.
Especially since the two newlyweds lived in the same courtyard and faced each other every day, she watched the other one gradually take root in the mansion and integrate into it, but she was still hanging in the air. Except for the first night, she could hardly even see the prince. Even though she kept telling herself to stay calm, she couldn't help feeling discouraged.
As long as people have some ambition, they will always want to find a way out, especially those who are smart and ambitious, who are even more unwilling to give up.
So Yixiu didn't find it strange that she made the same choice as in her previous life.
"I'm afraid she's thinking it's better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix."
Xiuxia has gained experience over the years. She can guess Cao's plan at a glance without even blinking.
Jianqiu agreed. "Concubine Nian only has one concubine, Fei, under her wing. Ever since Princess Lu came into the palace, she's become less and less important. And Princess Feng, although she's in Concubine Nian's room, just looking at the hard work she's endured in the past, you can tell she's been too good at hiding her incompetence. Concubine Nian's expression shows she's always looked down on her. Now that Princess Lu is willing to step up and offer her services, I'm afraid Concubine Nian might actually take her in."
"That's where she's clever. If she really lived in Laiyi Hall like Feng Gege, she wouldn't have dared to be so devoted to Nian. After all, they live in the same courtyard. If the prince ever went into her room, I'm afraid Concubine Nian would want to skin her alive, given her personality."
"She lives here, a million miles away from Concubine Nian. Even if the prince really passes away, it's better for Concubine Nian not to see him. Besides, in front of Fuxiao Pavilion is Baifu Tower, and further ahead is our Chixinzhai. If she can really take the pulse correctly, Concubine Nian might even honor her."
Xiuxia hinted at something but didn't say it clearly, but everyone present understood that Concubine Nian had taken action several times before, mostly targeting Concubine Nian, but she also didn't miss them, who were holding onto the fast.
It's a pity that those methods were too simple and were blocked before they reached Yixiu; although Yixiu deliberately gave her a loophole, Nian Shilan always regarded her as a spy and was unwilling to use her to send some "good things" to Fu Jin.
The reason was not that she was afraid of Fu Jin, but because she was still brooding over the word "Wan Wan" and the prince's eyes at that moment.
No matter how cruelly she attacked other people, she was not afraid of being discovered, because she was confident that the prince would forgive her even if the incident was exposed. However, if she attacked the concubine, the prince would know that she was involved.
Nian Shilan didn't want to believe it, and she didn't dare to gamble whether the prince would forgive her.
But now she has Cao, who is smart but lacks foresight and overall awareness, by her side. How long can Nian Shilan endure it?
The revenge for the murder of their son, a little jealousy, and the equally unscrupulous personalities, two clearly opposite, yet inexplicably similar women, one occupies the prince's past, the other fills the prince's future.
Yixiu had two pieces of plaster squeezed out for her and, imitating Wang Xifeng's example, applied them to both sides of her temples. Smiling, she asked Jianqiu, "How do you think it looks?"
"It's quite playful when you stick it like this."
Yixiu then smiled happily and said, "Go and bring the boiled medicine. After we drink it, we can hide in the yard and watch this big show in peace and quiet."
They both owed something and held grudges.
Yixiu understood that the man was very reluctant to see any conflict between his wife and his concubine Nian.
He was really happy with his new love, but he didn't necessarily dislike his old love either.
In the past, she had stood in front, so Bai Yueguang and Zhu Shazhi still had some concerns. If anything really happened to them, she would be there to take the blame, and the prince would have someone to blame.
If you calculate everything this way, you'll be at a disadvantage no matter how you look at it. That won't do.
The two of them now have a mortal feud with each other, and Nian's external brain has also arrived, so it's time to fight louder.
Yixiu smelled the bitter medicine and drank it all in one gulp. She lay on the bed with her hair loose, thinking silently: Let me give this drama a grand opening.
That night, a heart-wrenching scream came from Zhixinzhai.
Everyone in the two western courtyards saw that the servants of Chixinzhai had an unprecedented look of panic on their faces.
In the originally dark night, only the lights in Chixinzhai gradually came on. Jianqiu and Jiang Fuhai, who were beside Yixiu, stumbled out, holding lanterns and leading people.
After a while, the doctor from the mansion was brought over by Jiang Fuhai, and then Yinzhen strode into the yard with a gloomy face.
In such a situation, people who knew the news had some guesses in their minds, but they didn't know whether it was man-made or an accident.
In Zhixinzhai, Yinzhen smelled a faint smell of blood as soon as he walked in. The windows were closed and a charcoal brazier was burning in the room. The heat made the smell of blood make him more dizzy.
He walked in slowly and saw Yixiu lying on the bed, her eyes closed on her waxy face. He felt an ominous feeling for no reason and subconsciously reached out to feel her breath.
"The concubine just found out...she couldn't handle it and fainted."
Yinzhen sat on the edge of the bed. After hearing this, he looked at Jianqiu and others standing by with their hands hanging down. His voice was clearly flat, but it was filled with a chill that penetrated his bones:
"This is how you serve your master."
As soon as these words were spoken, everyone standing in the room knelt down, their heads pressed to the floor, not daring to say a word.
But Yinzhen could not help but keep them silent: "What on earth is going on? Concubine Jin was fine, why did she have a miscarriage? Why didn't any of you notice that Concubine Jin was ill? Tell me everything clearly."
Jianqiu, who was kneeling at the front, felt the prince's gaze. Even though she had been prepared, she couldn't help but feel nervous. After a while, she mustered up her courage and said softly:
"Your Highness, please allow me to report that our concubine's miscarriage was truly unexpected."
