Nanny Ling was thinking that Mu Sili had just given birth, and if anything happened to the twins during this period, she, the concubine Rou, would be implicated. If she then made false testimony, she would be ruined.
Anyone who dares to go against her must be prepared to be brought down. After all, she has been in Yuqing Palace much longer than her. How could she let her go if she dares to disrespect her?
With this idea in mind, Nanny Ling followed everyone else to congratulate her on the birth of twins, a boy and a girl. Mu Sili knew what she was thinking, after all, she had a cheat.
"Cuizhu, have you found out all the evidence against Madam Ling and her husband?"
"I've found out everything. I'm just waiting for your order and I'll send it to His Highness. But Nanny Ling is His Highness's wet nurse after all, so I'm afraid she'll be sad to see this."
"Sad? Of course she is a little sad. After all, she is the wet nurse who raised His Highness. But we can't forgive her behavior just because she raised His Highness, right?
His Highness has always been fair and would not allow any servant who deceives his superiors to appear in Yuqing Palace. Even if that is his wet nurse, he will certainly treat her equally.
Besides, His Highness is so busy every day now. If he knew that Nanny Ling was doing these little tricks behind your back, he would probably want to execute her on the spot, so you don’t have to think about those unnecessary things.
Oh, and send someone to take good care of Hongxi and Galudai. I can tell from Madam Ling that she harbors resentment towards me. I'm worried that she might harm the children. If anything happens to them..."
Although Cuizhu felt that Nanny Ling did not have the courage to attack the young masters, she was prepared for the worst. If she really did attack them, she would be held responsible.
"I understand. Concubine, don't worry. I will protect the two young masters with my life."
"This concubine believes in you."
In the Shi Mansion, Guaerjia was the first to hear the news of Mu Sili's childbirth. She was completely stunned because Mu Sili gave birth to both the eldest son and the eldest daughter.
Not only that, this birth was accompanied by auspicious signs, and Galudai was born as a princess. If the prince ascends the throne one day, she will definitely be given the title of Princess Gulun.
She hated it so much. She was the Crown Princess appointed by Kangxi, and her daughter could be named a princess. Why could the daughter of a concubine like Mu Sili receive such an honor?
Moreover, she even received a title. Isn't this a slap in her face? How will she survive in Yuqing Palace in the future?
If nothing unexpected happens, by the time she marries the prince two years later, Yuqing Palace will have been completely controlled by her, and her status and position will be very embarrassing by then.
If she fails to give birth to a child, the position of Crown Princess will be meaningless, and she may not even be given the position of Queen on the day the Crown Prince ascends the throne.
Thinking of this, she suddenly wished someone would take action against Mu Sili at this time. Either she would die or her children would die. As long as her power could be taken away, she would be satisfied.
Shi Wenbing, as a father, knew his daughter very well. When he saw her unhappy expression, he knew what she was thinking, so he hurried to persuade her.
If she really did something evil to Mu Sili and her son, the entire Guaerjia clan would definitely be implicated. He would not allow such a thing to happen. After all, he was still loyal.
"Father knows you are unhappy, but things have come to this point. All you have to do is let nature take its course. The Crown Prince favors Consort Rou and her son, but you are the Crown Princess. Why bother with her?
Even if Concubine Rou gave birth to twins, wouldn't they still have to call you "Legitimate Mother" when you marry into Yuqing Palace? With this identity, your position is secure.
Your father hopes that you will consider the family before you act. After all, you are not alone. It is an unprecedented blessing for the family that the Guarjia clan can produce a crown princess."
Guaerjia understood what she meant. She was afraid that she would do something to Mu Sili and her son that would affect the family, so she was giving her a subtle warning.
She felt a little sad. Shouldn't her father be comforting her at this time? Why was he always thinking about asking her to think about the family? Was her happiness, as his daughter, unimportant?
But although she was angry, she suppressed it rationally. Her father was right. She was not alone and she could not gamble with the lives of the entire Guwalja clan.
How sad! She was clearly the destined Crown Princess, so why had everything gone wrong from the moment the marriage was granted? If Kangxi had allowed them to get married sooner, they wouldn't have ended up in this situation.
In her opinion, if she had become the Crown Princess, it would not matter how many children Mu Sili had or how favored she was, because she had already secured the position of the Crown Princess.
Unfortunately, this happened before she got married to the prince. The prince may not like her very much now, and he may be even less interested in her in two years. It's really worrying.
"Don't worry, Dad. I'm not a child anymore. I know how to handle these things. I know you won't believe me, but I will prove it with my actions."
Shi Wenbing was indeed not very reassured, but he believed in his daughter. After all, she had been brought up according to the standards of a queen since childhood. Since she said so, it proved that she had let it go.
Just let it go. Just keep your position as the Crown Princess. At worst, you can adopt a prince and raise him one day. There is no need to make enemies with Mu Sili and her son at this time.
"I'm glad you figured it out. Rest well. Once you're out of mourning, I'll ask for permission to marry the Crown Prince as soon as possible."
"Yes, thank you for your reminder, Father. Don't worry, I know my limits and will never do anything that will bring trouble to the family. Don't worry, Father."
"It's good that you think so."
Half a month later, Nanny Ling decided to take action. After all, if she didn't take action now, she would have no chance.
She first put medicine in the wet nurse's food, and then prepared small clothes infected with smallpox for them to wear so that they would be infected with smallpox.
She thought she had done it perfectly, but she didn't expect that Mu Sili had found out from the beginning. The reason she didn't tell anyone was because she wanted to catch the thief and seize the stolen goods.
Although the Crown Prince abused her power in Yuqing Palace by relying on her status as his wet nurse, he would not take any action unless his offspring was harmed.
That's why she just watched when Nanny Ling took action, but she didn't do nothing. Instead, she asked someone to change the wet nurse's diet to a normal one.
Just when Nanny Ling thought her plan would succeed, Cuizhu brought her people to capture her.
"How dare you, Cuizhu! Don't think that just because you're a concubine's maid you can tell me what to do. What do you intend to do by taking me away? I'm His Highness's wet nurse.
If His Highness knew that you treated me like this, he would definitely not let you go easily. I advise you to let me go quickly, otherwise His Highness will never let you off easily."
