"If Zhaoping can't be relied upon, then let's find someone we can." The Empress Dowager had also exhausted all her patience, and a strong sense of malice flashed in her eyes: "Doesn't the Ninth Prince like that bandit quite a bit? Doesn't he only touch that bandit? Then let's capture that bandit and use him to take Zhaoping's place for now."
"But Your Majesty, if that thing is implanted in a young body, it will take at least six years to be effective. If it is implanted into a mature body, I'm afraid that bandit won't live more than three months. If that bandit dies after three months, will the Ninth Prince be furious and seek revenge?" Granny Chang said with some concern.
Aunt Sun said disdainfully, "Granny Chang, the Empress Dowager sent you to Princess Zhaoping's side to help her solidify her position in the Ninth Prince's residence. In three months, can't you help Princess Zhaoping gain the Ninth Prince's favor?"
Granny Chang was speechless.
She was confident she could succeed with anyone else, but Princess Zhaoping…
You fucking bastard, why don't you get on?!
"Alright, stop arguing. If that bandit can control the Ninth Prince, then dealing with a mere bandit will be a piece of cake for us," the Empress Dowager said confidently.
"Yes, yes, Your Majesty is wise," Granny Chang quickly followed up, her attitude extremely flattering.
Aunt Sun was not to be outdone: "Yes, Your Majesty. However, when the Ninth Prince left, he said that he would no longer accept messages from Cixi Palace. If we want them to come again, I'm afraid it won't be easy."
"Hmph, he won't come to my Cining Palace, but as the Ninth Prince of Dazhao, he can't miss Chu Yue's wedding." The Empress Dowager's expression was arrogant, and she looked like a seasoned veteran with a confident mind: "Let's make our move at the banquet on the day of Chu Yue's wedding."
At this point, Aunt Sun glanced at Granny Chang with a smug look and said in a high-pitched voice with a great sense of superiority, "Yes, Your Majesty, this servant will make the arrangements right away."
Granny Chang rolled her eyes silently.
What's there to brag about!
The Empress Dowager is becoming increasingly difficult to please. You know so many of her secrets; she'll silence you sooner or later.
When that time comes, won't this Cixi Palace be my domain, Granny Chang's?
Hui Nuan Ge.
None of the three maids accompanied Ji Fengyao to the palace today. After hearing Ji Fengyao recount what happened at Cixi Palace today, they were all filled with righteous indignation.
Enraged, Xique immediately spat on the ground and cursed, "That shameless old hag, she actually resorted to such despicable means, trying to help Princess Zhaoping force herself on our son-in-law, has she no shame!"
Ji Fengyao recalled the day at Bald Vulture Village, her wedding day with Shang Xiye, when Xique and her mother brought her cooking wine: "..."
Emmmmm, let's not bring up the past anymore.
"The Empress Dowager failed to bring about today's events and instead angered the Prince. She might be eager to resort to other underhanded tactics to prevent the Prince from retaliating against her." Based on the messages Ji Fengyao had provided, Lin Shuang analyzed, "Your Highness, we should refrain from entering the palace for the next few days. The Empress Dowager is naturally unable to deal with the Prince, so her next target will definitely be you, Your Highness."
"That big birdcage in the palace, of course I'm too lazy to go there," Ji Fengyao said lazily, with a nonchalant expression. "However, in four days, the Sixth Princess will be married off to a distant land. As the Sixth Princess's uncle and aunt, it wouldn't be right for Your Highness and me not to attend the send-off ceremony."
Lin Shuang hesitated for a moment and said, "This servant guesses that if the Empress Dowager is going to make a move, she will most likely do so on that day."
"No need to guess, that old hag Empress Dowager has taken a grudge against me and will definitely not let go of any opportunity to cause trouble," Ji Fengyao said with certainty.
