Li and the others, who were waiting to watch the show, suddenly realized that they were a bit dumbfounded. What a great opportunity, what a great tool! If she just gave it a little push, the chances of success would be even greater.
Upon thinking this, he became excited and hurriedly summoned his trusted confidants to discuss how to more meticulously promote the cause.
“Your Majesty, I think we must keep this matter completely under wraps. Even if we can’t, we can’t let Taoyuan get the news too early and smoothly, so that they can strengthen their defenses and make it more difficult for this to succeed,” Liu Hong from the Fujin’s Courtyard suggested.
Manipulated by the Fujin's people, and with Li and others soon realizing the importance of secrecy, Jiaming found it even more difficult to know the specifics of the situation, only that it was related to Lin.
Not long after he made up his mind and instructed his servants to act on it, the servants realized something was wrong a day later and immediately reported back to their master.
“Master, Lin is too cunning. It wasn’t her intention to do it at all. She tricked a maid named Xiaohua into helping her.”
When this news reached the ears of Li and the others, they couldn't help but marvel at Lin's cunning, and then they quickly realized what had happened.
"Ignore that Lin family, just change the previous arrangement to someone else, like Xiaohua," Li, the woman from the Pear Courtyard, instructed the person who had given her the reply.
When the Fujin learned of this, she added a little fuel to the fire, saying, "Have someone quickly deal with any clues between Lin and Xiaohua. We must not let Guarjia, who is already on guard against Lin, know that it is Xiaohua who is going to harm the Fourth Prince. After that, there is no need to take any further action. Just watch from the sidelines."
"This servant understands." The servant bowed and withdrew.
The princess walked to the window, and suddenly a cold wind blew in, causing a few snowflakes to fall onto the windowsill.
The princess reached out and pulled her cloak tighter around her. Her dry lips moved slightly as she murmured, "I'll only do this much for the sake of the good relationship between the Fourth Prince Hongxuan and Hui'er. Whether the Fourth Prince Hongxuan can escape this depends on his luck."
Perhaps this was part of her thinking, but she knew in her heart that it wasn't just because of this, but more because of the master. Because she was afraid of him, she didn't dare to go too far. After all, she felt that this matter could only be kept from the master for a short time, and it wouldn't work in the long run.
After all, the original and actual initiator, Mr. Song, was not a bad teammate, but he was certainly not a smart one either.
Song, who was not favored by the Fujin, was furious because of Lin's cunning. She was angry with Lin and was clearly inferior to Li and the Fujin in that she could not immediately react and continue to ensure the success of the matter.
She was not as good as the fat Hesheli, who was clearly disliked by the prince. Hesheli was not simple either; she was very keen on making things difficult for Taoyuan. After all, her current unsightly appearance was the fault of Guarjia and the Fourth Prince Hongxuan.
If she had succeeded in plotting against the Fourth Prince Hongxuan and her actions had gone undetected, she wouldn't have suffered this fate.
Moreover, the reason she became fat was because of Guarjia clan's deliberate actions. Guarjia clan had malicious intentions and deliberately sent her large amounts of meat and fish to fatten her up, so that she would never regain favor.
Although Li Shi had contributed to this, Hesheli Shi did not hate Li Shi that much; she wanted to target Guarjia Shi more.
The reason might be that I tried to take action against it again and again, but failed each time, which may have led to my competitive spirit of never giving up despite repeated defeats!
Regardless, she was determined to create an opportunity for Xiaohua. After thinking for a moment, she beckoned the person who was going to answer to come closer. Once the person was close, she whispered something in their ear.
"Keep a close eye on people connected to the Lin family. If the Guarjia clan can't find a breakthrough with the Lin family, they will definitely look for a breakthrough with other people. In that case, our opportunity will come. If we can take this opportunity to capture people from the Guarjia clan, turn them to their side, or use them against them, that would be good."
After several courtyards, various private conversations came to an end, and all attention immediately turned back to the vicinity of the Lin family's residence.
Because they had already realized the importance of secrecy, no matter how much Jiaming's people tried to find out, they only knew that it was related to the Lin family.
When they tried to investigate those around Lin, they almost got exposed, but luckily they slipped away quickly and didn't leave any trace.
This not only frustrated Hesheli, but also frustrated everyone who knew that Xiaohua was going to take action against the Fourth Prince Hongxuan.
They were all prepared to fan the flames, but no one made any move. How could they fan the flames or help them?
Can you be happy if you have a bellyful of schemes but can't realize them, and they're just sitting in your womb, or even at risk of dying in the womb? Definitely not.
Even Lin, who had asked Xiaohua to complete Song's tasks for her, was frustrated and irritable. She was afraid that someone would trace the clues from her to Xiaohua and expose her. As a result, she was isolated by the Fujin and others, who forbade her from contacting Xiaohua.
Otherwise, she would definitely have rushed to Xiaohua and questioned her about why there was no sound and what preparations were being made.
Judging from Xiaohua's normal daily behavior, the answer is that she was not prepared.
How could Lin not be furious? She lost confidence and suspected that Xiaohua had changed her mind.
In this atmosphere, the day slowly passed.
The next morning, Hongxuan got up, washed up, and practiced martial arts nimbly in his small courtyard. Then, he took the little eunuch given to him by Kangxi and went to the garden near the front courtyard.
"Brother, shouldn't we skip it today? Didn't Grandpa He warn us to be careful a couple of days ago?" The little eunuch followed closely behind Xiao Hongxuan, trying to dissuade him with great concern.
“I understand what you mean,” Xiao Hongxuan turned his head and glanced at the little eunuch’s warm smile. “But you must understand that there will always be people who want to deal with me. I cannot and will not allow myself to think about avoiding danger whenever there is one. Even if I can avoid danger by hiding, I cannot and will not.”
