Chapter 98: Disabled but Strong
Will Xi Que didn't know, so she could only convey Shuang Jiang's original words to her, and ask her master how to deal with the two maids who were about to rebel against the master?
How else could they be dealt with?
Shuang Jiang was threatened, and she fought back at the cost of her life, unwilling to hurt her, so she was able to obtain her forgiveness.
The two maids were third-class maids, who were sneaky and cunning on weekdays. They had been serving Jiang Xinyue for a year, but they had not been promoted to second-class, which showed that they were useless.
She instructed Xi Que, "Go and test them to see if they know that I'm pregnant. If they don't know, send them back to the Ministry of Internal Affairs."
Xi Que pursed her lips and said, "Well...what if they know?"
The imperial physician was invited to Hexi Palace on the day of Shuangjiang. People outside didn't know about this, but people in Hexi Palace knew it clearly.
What excuse did Concubine Zhen find to get rid of the emperor?
"If they knew..."
Jiang Xinyue closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, her cruel eyes scared Xi Que.
She said in a cold voice, "People who betray their masters can't keep secrets. If they know, it depends on who they vote for, and I will take action against them!"
She said that she would not take the initiative to harm others, but if someone wanted to make a fuss about her belly, she would never be merciful.
Xi Que nodded and was about to go out, but Jiang Xinyue instructed her again: "Take good care of Shuangjiang. When she gets better, she should come to serve me. Even if she doesn't tell me who the person behind her is, I will always find out."
However, Shuangjiang needs to cooperate.
Changxin Palace -
Li Guifei personally stared at Shufei, and forced her to eat an excessive amount of food, then smiled and said: "Sister Shufei, don't blame me for being too rude. After all, you can't eat every day. This will make my little prince weak. I hope that when the palace maid comes again tomorrow, she will tell me that you ate two big bowls of rice, so that you don't have to suffer."
She looked arrogant, and didn't care about Shufei's vomiting and crying. She led a large group of people to carry food boxes and left.
Shufei's eyes were full of tears, and those eyes that had always been weak and innocent were full of hatred.
After Concubine Li Guifei disappeared from view, she hurriedly stood up, ran to the camphor tree at the door, and tapped her throat with her fingers.
"Goo! Goo...Goo!"
"My queen!"
Lian Xin's eyes were swollen from crying. She supported Concubine Shu: "My queen, let's go and ask the emperor to let you live back in Jingren Palace. This Concubine Li Guifei... Concubine Li Guifei is so domineering, she will take your life."
After only a few days of living there, Concubine Li Guifei stared at Concubine Shu's overeating three times a day, saying that Concubine Shu had a poor appetite and was afraid of hurting the fetus. She saw it all, and Concubine Shu's throat was already bleeding.
Concubine Shu vomited for a long time before she vomited out the excess food in her stomach and felt a little better.
She sat paralyzed under the tree, shedding natural tears: "You are not allowed to go! If I go to the emperor now, all my efforts will be in vain."
"But..."
"No buts!" Shufei wiped the sour water from her lips fiercely: "Li Guifei will not let me give birth to this child. Instead of letting her use the child as an excuse to torture me, the child will still be a miscarriage in the end. Why don't we follow her example?"
Use a child who can't survive to frame the person she hates the most.
The person Li Guifei hates the most is Shufei, so she chose to deal with Shufei first between Zhenpin and Shufei.
But what about Shufei?
She didn't take Li Guifei seriously at all, and the person she wanted to plot against was not Li Guifei.
On the second day, the emperor came to Hexi Palace after the morning court session at the reminder of Wang Dequan. Jiang Xinyue took out the "fairy tale story book" that she had prepared long ago and asked Emperor Xuanwu to tell stories to the baby in her belly in a gentle tone.
Eunuch Wang was disabled but strong-willed. He served Emperor Xuanwu with his wounded body and was taken care of by all the palace maids in Hexi Palace.
This comforted the heart of this old white lotus.
This palace!
As expected, Concubine Zhen is the most humane. There are servants like masters. Her kind qualities can be seen from Xi Que and Xiao Xuanzi.
Wang Dequan's gratitude was somewhat revealed on his face, but Jiang Xinyue only smiled faintly and did not respond too enthusiastically.
It's not worth her thanks. In terms of getting along with each other, Jiang Xinyue mostly uses Wang Dequan.
He was originally the emperor's confidant, and it's impossible for her to be open with the emperor's people!
Many people have misunderstood the difference between avoiding suspicion and compassion and the correct way and method.
Being too cold will make Wang Dequan feel that you look down on him. There is no need to do anything. As long as he says something to the emperor at a critical moment that seems harmless but actually pushes people into the fire pit, Jiang Xinyue will also be difficult to gain the emperor's favor.
Being too enthusiastic will let Emperor Xuanwu see the clues, and if the purpose is too strong, Wang Dequan will not recognize her in his heart.
What is too easy to get is always not cherished. This sentence applies not only to the emperor, but also to all mankind.
Jiang Xinyue has mastered this degree very well.
For example, Wang Dequan was injured by Li Guitian. On the surface, it seemed that it was a fight between the chefs and the innocent were injured. In fact, the dispute was caused by the queen and Jiang Xinyue.
In this matter, Jiang Xinyue had to avoid suspicion and could not say anything wrong about Queen Zhu in front of the emperor, let alone speak for Wang Dequan.
The emperor is the absolute king of this feudal society. He likes that everyone around him must depend on him, without any backing or background, only him.
He likes to have absolute dominance over the people he values.
Therefore, whether it is Wang Dequan or Jiang Xinyue, he hopes that the only person they trust and rely on is him, so that he will feel a sense of accomplishment.
Wang Dequan served the emperor despite his injuries. Jiang Xinyue was able to take care of Wang Dequan, which not only showed her kind character, but also showed that she was very grateful to Wang Dequan for taking such meticulous care of the emperor. It also
proved indirectly that she really loved the emperor.
Under the layers of routines, even the most heroic characters would be addicted to this beauty.
After reading the last paragraph, Emperor Xuanwu gently closed the book: "I will not go to the temporary palace to escape the summer heat this year. The matter of the local official in Chenzhou accepting bribes was reported by your uncle. I heard that he is now living in the Jiang Mansion. Your father took him in, otherwise he might have been killed."
The minions of the Song family are all over the court. How easy is it to quietly get rid of a prefectural teacher of Zhenzhou?
But now that he has moved into the Jiang family, Jiang Yankun is certainly not a threat, but the Jiang family has a daughter in the palace, who is now the popular Concubine Zhen. If they offend Jiang Yankun, his daughter will whisper in the emperor's ear, and they will be in trouble.
Why did Emperor Xuanwu tell her this?
Jiang Xinyue hesitated and said, "Grand uncle? I have never been to my family. In previous years, my father only took my eldest brother and Ze'er to the family sacrifices. My sisters and I have never met our relatives. Grand uncle... I don't know what kind of person he is."
Emperor Xuanwu raised his lips, "Do you think I'm asking you if he can be trusted?"
