Chapter 432 The Emperor is Awake
As soon as the prince left, she told the nanny, "Go, call the princess."
Mammy: “Yes.”
When the Crown Princess walked in, the Imperial Concubine started to scold her, "You are the Crown Princess after all, so why can't you win the Crown Prince's heart? What use are you?"
The Crown Princess was stunned by the scolding and knelt down directly, "Mother, what on earth happened?"
"Why are you asking me this? The Crown Prince is still obsessed with Zheng Ci. Don't you know?" The Imperial Concubine pointed at her and scolded, "He even wants to bring her into the palace."
The Crown Princess finally recovered from her shock and was in disbelief.
"Bring him into the palace..."
"I don't care what you think. Go and deal with her. I don't want to see that woman in the palace." The imperial concubine said angrily, "If she is alive, I think your position as Crown Princess will have to be replaced by someone else."
The Crown Princess was scolded so badly that she couldn't even raise her head.
She was really wronged in this matter. How could she know what the prince was thinking?
However, if the prince really has such thoughts about someone, it would be better to deal with it immediately, otherwise there will be endless troubles.
"Mother, I understand."
The imperial concubine waved her hand and said, "Why don't you do it quickly?"
After the Crown Princess left, the anger on her face disappeared. "What a blockhead! But I still have to rely on her to deal with Zheng Ci. It's really infuriating."
Nanny: "My Lady, why do you have to do this yourself? If the Crown Prince finds out one day, it will damage your harmony."
Imperial Concubine: "I thought so too. When he finds out, given the Crown Prince's temper, I, his mother, will have to give an explanation. But luckily, there's the Crown Princess. I only encouraged her, and she did it. I don't know if this knife will work well."
The nanny smiled flatteringly, "No matter if it's useful or not, it's her honor to work for the Imperial Concubine. Even if the Crown Prince finds out one day, she will definitely not implicate the Imperial Concubine."
The imperial concubine smiled and said, "Of course. When the time comes, I might even say a few good words for her. I had no choice but to let her be the Crown Princess. If my son succeeds me in the future, it would be unacceptable for her to continue to sit on the throne of Queen."
The nanny rubbed the Imperial Concubine's legs while saying, "The Imperial Concubine doesn't like her. So which young lady do you want to be the Empress in the future?"
The imperial concubine pondered for a moment, her plump red lips moving. "She must be a daughter of an aristocratic family, a daughter of a prestigious family. I don't like Zheng Ci, and as for the Crown Princess, she's not qualified enough. Her family has fallen on hard times, and she herself is a bit dull. She's really not worthy of the position of Empress."
A cold glint flashed across her eyes.
Mammy: "You are truly thoughtful, Your Majesty. If His Royal Highness knew your painstaking efforts, he would surely be touched."
Thinking of the Crown Prince, the corners of the Imperial Concubine's lips twitched. "I'm touched. I just hope he won't quarrel with me for a woman."
She could see that her son really liked Zheng Ci.
The Qiao Yun mentioned above was just a substitute. He was only able to gain favor for a few days because he looked a little like Zheng Ci.
The women who were favored later always had some part that resembled Zheng Ci, either the eyes, the mouth, or the body shape.
Even though the prince didn't say anything, she could see what he was thinking.
This is something that I cannot obtain, and a demon has arisen in my heart.
She wanted to cut off the inner demon for her son.
The Crown Princess rushed back to the palace, and the maidservant grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Your Highness, you've gone too far. How can you blame the Crown Princess for this? The Crown Prince had someone in his heart, so it was clearly his fault."
Back in the house, the Crown Princess's face darkened.
"Shut up! How dare you say bad things about the Imperial Concubine and the Crown Prince?"
"I know I was wrong." The maid knelt down in fear. "I was just speaking up for the Crown Princess. I don't think the Crown Princess should be blamed for this."
The Crown Princess looked at her for a moment and said helplessly, "Get up. Don't offend others in the future. Do you think you can say anything about the Crown Prince and the Imperial Concubine?"
If it weren't for the fact that she had been using this maid since she was a child and her feelings for her were not like those of ordinary people, the Crown Princess would have said that she would not keep her at all costs.
Heartfelt, but overly silly.
"I understand." The maid asked carefully, "What does the Crown Princess plan to do next?"
The Crown Princess rubbed her brows and lazily lay on the chaise longue. After a while, a clear voice came, "Your Highness is right. Keeping a woman like this will only bring endless troubles. However, she is using me as a knife and thought I couldn't see it."
She laughed sarcastically, "But I just don't want her to get what she wants. When the time comes, you'll do just that."
She muttered something, and the maid's eyes sparkled, "Okay, this servant will definitely remember the Crown Princess's instructions."
The Crown Princess waved her hand, "Alright, that's it."
The maid hurriedly called the maid outside to come in, "Hurry up and help the Crown Princess take off her bun and give her a massage."
The Crown Princess enjoyed the service comfortably and fell asleep soon.
Zheng Ci was resting at the farm and was just about to go back when he received the news.
The second wave of assassins arrived. This time the assassins were different. Every blow they made was fatal. It seemed that they wanted to kill Zheng Ci directly.
Pei Ji dealt with the matter and hurried over to meet her.
"Why, why would he kill him, whose man is he?" Zheng Ci asked with lingering fear.
"Don't worry, I've already taken care of it." He ignored the gazes of others and hugged Zheng Ci. "We found the Imperial Concubine's token on their people. This matter is closely related to the Imperial Concubine."
Zheng Ci was silent for a moment. "My dear Concubine, she is really aggressive. She's afraid that I'll be alive."
Pei Ji: "She is afraid of you."
Zheng Ci looked up in confusion, "Why are you afraid of me? I didn't take the initiative to oppose her."
Pei Ji reached out and touched her nose, "Because of the Crown Prince. As long as the Crown Prince's evil intentions persist, the Imperial Concubine will always be wary of you and hate you."
It was not difficult for Pei Ji to see what the prince was thinking, but he thought the prince could not do it, so he never took it to heart.
Unexpectedly, this time, the imperial concubine bypassed the prince and directly wanted Zheng Ci's life.
It seems that they are certain that the prince will be able to sit in that position, and now they have begun to settle accounts with people.
"How are you going to do this?"
"Those who tried to assassinate you are irrefutable evidence. I will take them to see the emperor and let him make the decision."
"Your Majesty?" Zheng Ci was surprised. "Is Your Majesty awake?"
"Yes." Pei Ji's voice sank. "But the situation is not optimistic. This time he woke up, maybe it was a last gasp of lucidity. The imperial physician said... maybe he won't wake up next time."
"So the Emperor wants to use this opportunity to settle everything, right?"
"I have informed the Emperor of everything that has happened during this period. He said he had predicted that the Imperial Concubine and the Crown Prince had wicked ambitions."
