Nanny Jiang didn't expect that they had found out these things. You know, she had been secretly stealing things from the prince's private treasury for more than a year or two. She didn't expect that the Crown Princess would find out as soon as she entered the house.
Knowing that he couldn't escape, he honestly confessed everything he had done.
"I really didn't expect that I trusted you so much, but you took advantage of my trust and did so many things."
"Your Highness, I was wrong. I was truly wrong. I hope you will be lenient with me because I gave birth to your breasts. I will be grateful to you."
Nanny Jiang has already accepted the result of being thrown into prison, but she still wants to fight for it. What if the prince will be soft-hearted and let her go?
Mu Sili felt that since she had dealt with the nanny who had been secretly suspecting the prince of doing something bad, she might as well deal with her husband Ling Pu as well, so as to avoid having to find another opportunity to deal with Ling Pu later.
"Madam Jiang, Ling Pu knows what you've done, right? Do you think he'll put the blame on you just to protect himself?"
She was on the verge of collapse. After hearing this, Nanny Jiang felt like she was going to hell. As her husband, Ling Pu should stand by her.
So she told him without hesitation about Ling Pu stealing tributes and how he and his wife had made money by using the prince's name.
This is great. Ling Pu sold his wife out completely without knowing anything.
"Have you memorized everything?"
"Replying to the Crown Princess, I have memorized everything."
"Take it and have Madam sign it."
"yes."
Nanny Jiang thought she had solid evidence, so she signed her name directly with her fingerprints. However, just as she finished signing, Shu Qing and He Zhu came back.
"I pay my respects to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Crown Princess. Eunuch He and I searched Nanny Jiang's room and discovered these things. It's consistent with what the Crown Princess suspected. Nanny Jiang did indeed hide the account books."
Nanny Jiang's brain finally came back to its senses. She had just felt something was wrong. It turned out that this little bitch hadn't come back yet!
When she thought about how she had revealed everything and implicated her husband, she could no longer bear it and fainted after screaming.
Ling Pu was still dreaming of having many wives and concubines in the Imperial Household Department when he was captured by the Imperial Guards who suddenly rushed in.
"What did you do? What did I do? How dare you treat me like this?"
"Master Ling, please think carefully about what you have done. Take him away."
Ling Pu and Nanny Jiang were taken away for investigation. The prince said that his fragile heart was hurt and he kept pestering Mu Sili for comfort.
"I never thought that the person who took care of me since I was a child would be such a person behind my back. If it weren't for you, I'm afraid someone would have caught me at any time. I might even lose my position as Crown Prince because of them!"
"Then Your Highness must thank me very much. I think the painting in your study is quite nice. Why don't you give it to me as a thank you gift?"
"good."
Palace of Heavenly Purity.
"Liang Jiugong, did you see that? This is the Crown Princess I personally selected. I have also heard about what Jiang did. I wanted to let Baocheng deal with it himself, but I didn't expect that the Crown Princess would not tolerate any sand in her eyes and dealt with her directly.
Do you think I should give the Crown Princess some gifts now to help her secure her position as Crown Princess?"
"Your Majesty makes the decision himself. The opinions of these servants have no weight."
"Indeed, in that case, please select a few items from my private treasury and send them to Yuqing Palace. Tell the Crown Princess that her father-in-law supports her actions and that she should not be nervous."
"Yes, I'll do it right away."
In other words, the Crown Prince was favored, and the Crown Princess was favored because of his love for the Crown Prince. Otherwise, if someone else did these things, Kangxi would definitely scold them.
After the concubines and princesses in Yuqing Palace learned how strong Mu Sili was, the desire to compete for favor that had just arisen in them was instantly suppressed.
The Crown Princess is powerful now, and they are not suitable to confront her. They might as well stay in their own courtyards first and then compete for her favor after she becomes pregnant.
All of them have some dirty hands. If they really offend the Crown Princess and are found out, losing favor is a small matter. But if they accidentally lose their lives, it would be a loss that outweighs the gain.
That night, Mu Sili lit the dream-fulfilling incense while the prince was fast asleep, and whispered the name of Empress Xiaochengren in the prince's ear. As the prince wished, he saw his mother in his dream.
"Imperial Mother, I am glad to see you at last. Look, has he grown into the person you expected?
My son is married. The Crown Princess is very nice. I haven't told her yet. I like her very much. Don't worry, I will treat her well."
The prince murmured with a smile on his face. Mu Sili could feel his emotions, and Mu Sili also smiled.
She really hopes that she can know her own life experience after she goes back. If her parents are still alive, she wants to ask them why they abandoned her.
It’s not that she has expectations for family affection, but her first half of life was too hard. She hopes that she is a child with parents, rather than an orphan who doesn’t even know who her parents are.
The prince was in a clearly different mood when he woke up the next day. He used to smile when he woke up, and he smiled today as well, but his smile showed relief and contentment.
"Your Highness, what good news did you dream about? Why are you so happy? Why don't you share it with me and make me happy too?"
"I dreamed of the Empress Dowager last night. She was just as I imagined, gentle and beautiful. We talked a lot, and she said she liked you very much.
Ah Li, you know, the Empress Dowager is truly beautiful, but I understand that if she wasn't beautiful enough, she wouldn't have given birth to a son as handsome as me."
Mu Sili nodded in agreement. It was indeed true. If the concubines in the three palaces and six courtyards were not beautiful, Kangxi would not have been able to give birth to so many handsome sons with his appearance alone.
This is not the most important thing. If the princesses had looked like Kangxi, it would have been the end. But Kangxi looked average and liked to act like an expert. Alas!
"Your Highness has now achieved what he wished for. You must work hard to become a strong man. I have just become the Crown Princess and have not yet secured this position. I do not want to become a commoner one day."
"I understand."
The prince wanted to say that this day would never come, but after seeing the look in Mu Silian's eyes, he became uncertain. Could it be that someone was really coveting his position?
No, the position of crown prince has been mine since birth, how can I give it to others?
"Ali, who do you think would covet my position? I will be very careful from now on and will never give anyone a chance."
"I don't know. This is up to you. How can a woman like me know these things?"
Prince: ...
