Empress Dowager Xiao raised an eyebrow slightly, bowed respectfully, and agreed.
When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head.
Even if she was resentful, she and her clansmen had to live at the mercy of the Empress Dowager.
As for the bandits...
So what if she has the rank of a king? A king who is destined not to become the empress must still be humble and humble, no matter how powerful she is!
After Consort Xiao left, Aunt Sun cautiously said, "Your Majesty, isn't it too early to send Princess Zhaoping to the Ninth Prince's residence? This old servant thinks that bandit is currently favored and might not be so easy to deal with. Princess Zhaoping is also too soft-hearted..."
"Soft-hearted? Jealousy and vying for favor can make a naturally weak person so terrifying. You've been fighting alongside me in this harem your whole life, haven't you seen enough?" The Empress Dowager lay weakly on the bed, her gaze cold.
"Besides, once the Ninth Prince touches Zhaoping, the bandit's favor will be over. No matter how soft-hearted Zhaoping is, killing her is as easy as killing an ant!"
The key is that the Ninth Prince has to be willing to get involved!
Aunt Sun moved her lips slightly, but when she thought of Eunuch Li, who had been beaten to death, a chill ran down her spine, and she swallowed back her words of advice.
When Consort Xiao came out of Cixi Palace, she passed through a corner of the Imperial Garden and heard people talking in the pavilion next to her.
It was Shang Chuyue, who hadn't been released from confinement yet and had secretly slipped out for a stroll: "What? Those bandits are sending my third brother silver and food again?"
"Yes, Princess, I heard it clearly. That person mentioned the name of the Ninth Prince's Consort." Caiqin recalled that day when Caixin had her leg broken and was thrown back, and her hatred for Ji Fengyao grew even stronger.
If their master were someone else, as servants, they could only endure being bullied.
But they were the Sixth Princess's people, and had been used to being arrogant and domineering with her since childhood. Moreover, they knew that the Sixth Princess had a grudge against that bandit, so why wouldn't they try to get revenge?
really.
Upon hearing this news, Shang Chuyue was furious: "That despicable bandit is shameless! He has my Ninth Imperial Uncle, yet he still tries to seduce my Third Imperial Brother. If it weren't for my Third Imperial Brother's pitiful state, I would definitely expose this matter to the world and have that bandit drowned!"
Upon hearing this, Consort Xiao glanced at Granny Wang.
Wang Mama understood and stepped forward, loudly proclaiming, "Sixth Princess, you're foolish! How can such a disgraceful act be tolerated!"
Caiqin turned around and saw Consort Xiao and Granny Wang, a triumphant smile flashing in her eyes.
Knowing that Consort Xiao had entered the palace, she deliberately lured Shang Chuyue here to talk, and sure enough, Consort Xiao overheard them!
Shang Chuyue was also startled. She stood up and greeted Consort Xiao with a distant expression: "Yue'er greets Consort Xiao."
"You are able to consider family ties, which shows that you are a kind-hearted child. But this matter concerns the reputation of the Ninth Prince and our royal family. If others find out about it in the future, wouldn't it make us a laughing stock?" Empress Dowager Xiao said coldly, maintaining her composure.
Shang Chuyue knew she had gotten herself into trouble and whispered, "But my third brother is already in a terrible situation. If he gets involved in something like this, Father will kill him. Besides, this was all because that bandit coveted my third brother's good looks and practically threw himself at him. My third brother shouldn't be dragged into this!"
Consort Xiao frowned slightly.
She really didn't expect that there would be someone like Shang Chuyue in the royal family who cared about sibling relationships.
Wang Mama's eyes flashed, and she said with a fawning smile, "If the princess wants to avoid implicating the Third Prince, this old servant has a way to achieve the best of both worlds."
