Gao Wuyong: "Master, you asked me to keep an eye on Ninth Princess Consort's movements. I found out that Ninth Princess Consort had a big fight with Ninth Prince and took people to the dowry estate to relax."
Le Shu asked, "What was the reason for the argument?"
Gao Wuyong looked embarrassed: "It is said that Ninth Prince felt that Ninth Princess Consort was too ruthless towards Eighth Princess Consort at Prince Hongxu's full moon banquet, making Eighth Prince lose face. Ninth Princess Consort is not one to be bullied, so they started arguing. Ninth Princess Consort even said that Ninth Prince should divorce her... In the end, Ninth Princess Consort took her people to the estate."
Le Shu: Ninth Prince Consort, not bad!
She had a general understanding of the Ninth Prince's family background; they came from a prominent family and had a powerful maternal family, which gave them the confidence to argue with the Emperor.
The key is that even when they argued, they kept their distance and didn't actually run back to her parents' home. Kangxi will probably find out about this soon, and then the Eighth Prince's wife will be in trouble.
The Ninth Prince was bound to be summoned to the palace and scolded by Consort Yi. In order to save face for his sister-in-law, he had angered his own wife to the point of running away, which wouldn't sound good to others.
Le Shu's eyes darted around, and she said to Gao Wuyong, "Find someone to stir things up. The focus should be on the touching brotherhood between Ninth Master and Eighth Brother. Describe how charming Eighth Master is."
After all, she even managed to bewitch the Ninth Prince to the point of scolding his own wife for the sake of the Eighth Prince's wife. Such great charm should be known by more people.
By the way, I also heard that the Tenth Prince has a favored concubine named Guo Luoluo in his harem. She shares the same surname as the Eighth Prince's wife. Even if they are not from the same branch, they should be from the same clan. I think the Eighth Prince's wife is bad in this respect. She and the Eighth Prince are a loving couple, but she can't stand seeing her sister-in-law being favored.
This makes the Eighth Prince's wife seem too stingy, which is not good. As for whether the Eighth Prince was behind this, everyone probably has their own opinion.
Gao Wuyong: ...
If this were publicized, there would be so many things worth pondering.
"Yes, this servant will arrange it immediately."
Le Shu added, "Remember, you must do it discreetly and make sure no one notices, especially the person involved and the palace."
Gao Wuyong smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master, this servant understands."
Le Shu smiled and said, "I trust you to do things. As for how much money to spend, go to Granny Su privately to collect it this time! Don't be stingy with me. Make sure to get things done properly. Don't hire those who are good at nothing but causing trouble and pushing things down the chain of command. Don't rush. Take your time and make sure it feels like a gentle rain nourishing the earth."
Le Shu had prepared a considerable amount of funds with Granny Su that didn't need to be kept in the books, specifically for this kind of thing, which was more discreet than withdrawing money from Yinzhen's private property.
What Yue Shu meant was that he was allowed to make a profit, as a bonus, but he had to do it well, otherwise...
Gao Wuyong shivered and solemnly replied, "This servant understands."
That evening, Yue Shu asked Yinzhen, "The Eighth Prince always seems to react quickly. You must know quite a few of the Crown Prince's spies. Could you shift the blame to someone else?"
Le Shu was petty. The Crown Prince wasn't exactly polite on Hongxu's third-day celebration, and he took the opportunity to collect some interest, hoping to make things more heated between the two sides.
Yin stared at her: "Okay! But Father Emperor will inevitably be angry."
Le Shu smiled. Let Kangxi be angry. He has no choice but to suffer. He created the current situation of brothers fighting to the death. Who can he blame?
If only we could really anger Emperor Kangxi so much that he would live a few years less.
Yinzhen tacitly acknowledged this. In his previous life, he both respected and resented Kangxi, but in this life, he had little respect left and mostly resented him when he thought back on it!
Knowing full well the corruption within the bureaucracy, but wanting a good reputation, they allowed the situation to spiral out of control, and only when it finally got out of control did they choose him to take over and clean up the mess.
With Le Shu's instructions, Gao Wuyong made very thorough arrangements, which were indeed subtle and effective. It took a long time, about a month or so, to see results. At this point, Gao Wuyong had to remove the traces.
Yinzhen deliberately guided the Crown Prince's spies to pay attention to this matter. The Eighth Prince was still the First Prince's man, and after a slight hint from the Crown Prince's people, they quickly became the driving force and began to fan the flames, making the Eighth Prince and his wife "famous far and wide".
Moreover, none of them have a good reputation.
The Tenth Prince, who came from Mongolia, was fearless. He was furious when his wife, who was also from Mongolia and belonged to the imperial clan, told him that the concubine Guo Luoluo in her backyard was arranged by the Eighth Prince and his wife to sow discord between them.
They started fighting directly with the Tenth Prince.
The tenth prince's wife's beating brought the matter to a complete climax.
Generally, those involved in rumors are the last to know, and the Eighth Prince and his wife were no exception. By the time they found out, things had already become out of control.
They weren't entirely innocent; it's true they interfered in the Ninth Prince's affairs, and the charming and favored Princess Guo Luoluo in the Tenth Prince's harem couldn't be said to have no connection whatsoever with the Eighth Prince and his wife.
Shouldn't you offer an explanation?
It makes them seem guilty.
No explanation needed, right?
People will think he's tacitly agreeing.
The wives of the principal wives had a very bad impression of this couple; their interference in their brother's private life was too despicable.
Many people who previously thought the Eighth Prince was benevolent and righteous suddenly distanced themselves from him.
Ninth Prince's wife had already returned from the estate. Upon hearing about this, she couldn't help but go up to Ninth Prince and kiss him on the cheek.
"Look at your good myna bird. Everyone's eyes are sharp. With the Eighth Prince's wife's character, your good myna bird spoils her like a treasure. It shows that their character is pretty much the same..."
Ninth Prince: ...
The Ninth Prince has recently heard a lot of rumors, and many people's gazes towards him have changed. Some who don't know the situation directly asked him to his face if the Eighth Prince had saved his life, which made him so open and honest, even valuing his sister-in-law more than his own wife.
