Consort Rou may not have known that it was because she trusted Consort De too much that she ultimately met a tragic end.
If it weren't for Consort De, she might not have died such a tragic death.
"Sister, have you come up with a good idea? Then tell me about it quickly, and I'll take care of the rest. I guarantee I'll handle it perfectly."
Consort De had been waiting for this very sentence, so when she heard Consort Rou say it, she reached out and patted her shoulder.
"Consort Rou, you are indeed promising. Once our plan succeeds, I will definitely make sure the Emperor visits your palace more often."
When Consort Rou heard this, she was very happy.
She truly loved the Nine Palaces, so she hoped that the person the emperor favored would be her, not someone else.
"Consort Rou, our most important task now is to make the Empress miscarry."
The Emperor is currently favoring her, undoubtedly because of the child in her womb. So, you know what to do next, right? I will provide you with whatever you need.
However, how you arrange things afterward is up to you; I can't help you forever.
Consort De was willing to provide her with what she needed, and Consort Rou was already satisfied, so she nodded happily.
"Your Highness, please rest assured! This concubine guarantees to complete the mission."
After saying this, Consort Rou left. She didn't even notice that after she left, Consort De looked at her back and cursed her as a fool.
Consort De really felt that Consort Rou was very stupid, as she was really eager to become a scapegoat. However, since Consort Rou wanted to be the scapegoat, she would definitely have to grant her wish.
The maidservant beside Consort De couldn't help but look at her and ask.
"Your Highness, do you think Consort Rou can successfully abort the Empress's child?"
I'm not entirely sure about Consort De, but we should give it a try, just in case it works.
Consort De's thinking was that, since she was Consort Rou, whether this matter succeeded or not was her business. If it was discovered, she would be the one in trouble, and it would have nothing to do with her.
That's why Consort De felt so at ease.
Now she just needs to wait for news from Consort Rou and see if Consort Rou succeeds. If Consort Rou succeeds, then she won't be needed anymore.
She can simply sit back and reap the benefits.
Consort De was very excited when she thought of this.
After Consort Rou returned home, before she could even sit down properly, Consort De's medicine had already been delivered to her palace.
"Your Highness, Consort Rou, Consort De asked me to tell you that the rest is up to you. She's waiting for you to give her a surprise."
After taking the medicine, Consort Rou planned to find an opportunity to slip it into Jiang Jingyue's food.
If Jiang Jingyue eats this, she will definitely lose the baby in her womb.
For a moment, Consort Rou couldn't think of a good solution, so she could only wait and see if she could find a suitable opportunity.
On this day, the emperor happened to be out of the palace on business, and Consort Rou felt that her opportunity had come.
She immediately sent someone to the imperial kitchen to secretly inquire what Jiang Jingyue had eaten that day.
What she wanted to do was make an exact replica, put the drug inside, and then switch it out.
However, we still need to find out more about this.
After all, there is no room for error in this matter.
Therefore, Consort Rou was always very careful and cautious in this matter.
"Remember this: when you go over there, be very careful and make sure no one discovers you."
If someone finds out, you mustn't reveal my identity as the princess, understand?
"If you dare to reveal my name, your families will know the consequences."
Upon hearing this, the two maids in front of Consort Rou immediately lowered their heads.
"Your Highness, don't worry! We will definitely be careful and won't let anyone find out. I'll go over there first. We don't need so many people. I have acquaintances in the Imperial Kitchen. Once I get there, I can find out what they want to know."
Upon hearing this, the Empress nodded in satisfaction.
"Okay, then I'll leave this matter to you. If you do a good job, there will definitely be a reward."
Upon hearing this, Xiaojing burst into laughter.
She felt that as long as this matter was handled well, Consort Rou would definitely pay attention to her. If she mentioned her family's affairs to Consort Rou, her younger brother might have a bright future.
Xiao Jing was very excited when she thought about this.
She immediately ran outside to carry out the task that Consort Rou had entrusted to her.
Xiaojing probably had connections, and after she went there, she quickly found out what she wanted to know.
Upon learning of this, she immediately went to see Consort Rou.
"Your Highness, the Empress is having lotus seed porridge today. I heard that the Empress has been vomiting for some time now, and this is just right for her, so she has been drinking this for a while now."
When Consort Rou learned of this, she immediately ordered someone to take action.
The emperor's departure from the palace this time was not for any major event; the main reason was that Jiang Jingyue had been vomiting for some time.
He looked very worried. He had heard that there was a place outside the palace that sold sour jujubes, which were very suitable for pregnant women to eat, so he came out this time specifically to find that place.
However, after he came out, he searched for quite a while but still couldn't find it.
He clearly received the information that it was right here! Why can't he find it?
Jiugongting had no choice but to ask someone.
No matter what, he will wait until he finds the item before going back.
He asked several people, and finally got the answer from an old woman.
At first, the old woman didn't know what the Nine Palaces Court was asking about.
However, when she heard that it was for pregnant women, she immediately understood.
"Are you looking for sour jujubes, you know, those sweet and sour things? Go this way, turn the corner, and the first house there is it."
Jiugongting finally learned what he wanted to know, and he was extremely excited.
He thought that once he brought the things back, Jiang Jingyue would feel better, and he was very happy about that.
So when he was happy, he immediately had someone bring him silver. There were relatively few of these things in the palace; most of them were gold leaves. So Su De took one and gave it to Jiu Gongting.
After receiving the items, Jiu Gongting handed them to the old woman in front of him without hesitation.
The old woman stared at the gold leaf in front of her, too afraid to take it; this was the first time in her life she had ever seen a gold leaf.
