Lady Gao had remained in the mansion for the past few days, her mind troubled by Fucha Mingyu's words. Logically, as the primary consort, Fucha Mingyu should not want to see a concubine give birth before her. However, her words that day clearly indicated she didn't want her to harm Lady Su.
Seeing her mistress looking sullen, Jinling knew she must be troubled by what happened that day. Jinling had been by Gao Shi's side since childhood and knew her personality very well. The princess was never one to admit defeat, and now she was caught in the middle between the principal wife's and her own thoughts, so she must be very depressed.
"Princess, are you thinking about what the First Princess said that day?" Jinling was standing next to Gao Shi that day, so she heard their conversation clearly. Considering the First Princess's firm attitude, the princess must have been intimidated.
"Jinling, what do you think the principal wife means? If Su's child is really born, it won't do her any good. Why don't you let me deal with Su?" Gao said.
Jinling has been by Gao's side for so many years, and Gao has long regarded her as his confidante, telling her everything.
"Princess, don't be anxious. Although the First Princess says this on the surface, we have no idea what she's really thinking," Jinling said. Having lived in the inner quarters for many years, she knew that people often say one thing on the surface and another in secret.
Hearing Jinling's words, Gao Shi found them quite reasonable. The First Lady was always cautious; perhaps she was simply afraid of being overheard. However, was she truly prepared to deal with Su Shi? Could she really bear to let their sisterly bond crumble like this?
"Jinling, tell me, is it worth it for me to treat Su like this just for the position of a concubine?" Gao Shi never expected things to turn out this way.
Jinling knew that Gao was not inherently bad, but the current situation was really unfavorable to her princess. Jinling knew that Su had entered the palace with her princess before and had no conflict of interest. In addition, Su was weak-willed, so Gao was willing to associate with her. But now Su was pregnant and the child was about to be born. Su was about to become a concubine. The princess must be jealous. And jealousy can make people do crazy things.
“Princess, the sisterly affection in the inner quarters is not as important as real status and position. Don’t be too soft-hearted. Besides, no one will know who did it in the end. She will lose her child and her status, and she will still have to rely on you.” Jinling thought about how to make the princess determined to do this.
Jinling glanced at Gao Shi, who was deep in thought, and continued, "Besides, Princess, isn't Su Shi the same kind of person? She deliberately tries to get close to the concubine, isn't that to get closer to her? It's just that she chose the wrong side. While you're here worrying about sisterly affection, they might already be thinking of ways to deal with you!" Jinling remembered the direct source of the falling out between the Princess and Su Shi—the concubine.
Upon hearing the name Ulanara Xueying, Gao's concerns vanished instantly. Yes, she was reminiscing about her relationship with Su, but Su might already be planning how to deal with her. She had to quickly come up with a solution.
The sisterhood they once shared quickly crumbled in the face of practical interests.
