Chapter 956: If Concubine Chun and Concubine Kang really form an alliance (71 rewards)
Xiao Tianzi immediately shut up and even breathed more gently.
He followed Concubine Wang's gaze and saw Concubine Chun walking on the palace road with Yingxiang.
Xiao Tianzi lowered his voice and asked, "My Lady, you followed Concubine Chun quietly. Do you think she will do something?"
Wang Pin nodded, a sneer flashed in her eyes.
She always felt that there was something fishy between Concubine Chun and His Royal Highness Prince Jin.
Maybe Concubine Chun wanted to take advantage of this banquet to have a private meeting with His Royal Highness Prince Jin. She left first, and His Royal Highness Prince Jin would come over later.
If he could catch them in the act, Concubine Chun would definitely die this time!
Thinking of this, Wangpin became more and more expectant.
Chuxiu Palace is also next to the Imperial Garden. If Concubine Chun doesn't hurry up, Concubine Kang will have to take the Fifth Prince back.
But she couldn't make her purpose too obvious and arouse suspicion.
Concubine Chun pretended to be attracted by the flowers in front of her, quickly took a shortcut, and finally reached the path that Concubine Kang had to take to leave the Imperial Garden.
It was quite hard for Wangpin and Xiao Tianzi to keep up and ensure not to be discovered.
Fortunately, the flowers and plants along the way were very lush and the path was winding, so Concubine Chun did not notice them.
Xiao Tianzi asked in confusion: "My lady, after passing through the Imperial Garden is the Chuxiu Palace. Could it be that Concubine Chun is going to look for Concubine Kang?"
Wangpin sneered in her heart and didn't believe it.
Concubine Chun and Concubine Kang had never met before, so why were they going to Chuxiu Palace at this time? It was impossible that they were going to visit the fifth prince.
In her opinion, Concubine Chun just wanted to find an opportunity to meet with His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin in private!
Of course, Wang Pin understood that this matter concerned the reputation of the imperial concubines and the prince. If she spoke nonsense without any evidence, she would be in trouble!
Therefore, before finding the evidence, Wangpin did not reveal the purpose of following Concubine Chun even to her confidant, and just said, "We will know after we see it."
Next to the rockery in front was a pond. Concubine Chun walked across the rockery and seemed to have just seen Concubine Kang. She immediately saluted in surprise: "I greet Concubine Kang. May your majesty be blessed with good health!"
Concubine Wang hid behind the rockery and watched this scene, her brows immediately frowned.
what the hell?
Didn’t Concubine Chun go to have a secret meeting with Prince Jin? Could it be that she really came to see Concubine Kang?
Concubine Kang said calmly, "No need to be polite."
"Isn't Concubine Chun at the banquet? Why is she here?"
Concubine Chun smiled coquettishly: "I drank a few more cups at the banquet and felt a little dizzy, so I came out to sober up. I was attracted by the flowers on this path, so I walked all the way here."
"I never thought I would meet Concubine Kang here."
Concubine Kang nodded without thinking too much and said politely, "The evening breeze is a bit chilly. Concubine Chun should be careful when drinking, lest she get a headache from the wind."
"Thank you for your concern, Concubine Kang."
Concubine Chun smiled and walked towards the wet nurse holding the fifth prince. "Just now, there were many people in Zhongcui Palace. I was of low status and did not dare to move around rashly. Now that I see the fifth prince, I am really happy!"
Kangpin was also an old man in the palace, so she naturally would not believe that Chun Guiren was showing goodwill for no reason. Seeing Chun Guiren approaching the fifth prince, Kangpin suddenly became nervous and subconsciously stood in front of the fifth prince.
Although this child is not her biological child, she has taken care of him personally for so long that in her heart he is no different from her own.
Besides, she had promised her sister Concubine Hao that she would take good care of the Fifth Prince and would not let anyone with ulterior motives harm him.
Seeing Concubine Kang so nervous, Concubine Chun raised her eyes and looked at her in surprise.
She seemed to not understand. She just thought the Fifth Prince was cute, so she wanted to take a closer look. Why did Concubine Kang react so strongly?
Concubine Chun did nothing to the Fifth Prince, and Concubine Kang also realized that she had been a little too extreme.
She said calmly, "The Fifth Prince is weak and cannot stand the wind. I will take him back first."
Concubine Chun seemed a little anxious, and said with a determined heart: "Madam Kangpin, to be honest, I actually have some words from the bottom of my heart that I want to tell you..."
Concubine Kang frowned slightly, but still asked in a friendly manner, "I wonder what Concubine Chun wants to say to me?"
Concubine Chun seemed very embarrassed: "Madam Kangpin, this is not the place to talk..."
Concubine Kang glanced at her and said, "The Chuxiu Palace is in front of us. Since we are already here, Concubine Chun should go in and have a seat and a cup of tea."
"Yes!"
Concubine Chun followed happily behind.
Outside, Concubine Wang can follow Concubine Chun, but cannot enter Chuxiu Palace.
Of course, she could get in, but only in an aboveboard way. Then she wouldn't be able to eavesdrop on their conversation, and it would alert the enemy.
Xiao Tianzi asked: "My lady, what should we do now?"
"What else can be done?"
Wangpin frowned and said, "It's impossible for me to follow you into Chuxiu Palace to eavesdrop, so I will naturally go back first."
"Yes."
Along the way, Wangpin's face looked very ugly.
She thought she could catch Concubine Chun having a secret meeting with a man outside her family this time, but she didn't expect that she actually went to find Concubine Kang.
Xiao Tianzi asked in confusion: "Your Highness, why did Concubine Chun come to Concubine Kang to show her courtesy for no reason?"
Wangpin was also thinking about this problem.
Soon she figured out the twists and turns: "Why else could it be?"
"After all, Concubine Chun is just a noble lady. She has no family background and no offspring. Your Majesty was somewhat interested in her before, but with so many beauties in the palace, what does she count for?"
"Will His Majesty favor her more just because she was presented by His Royal Highness Prince Jin?"
"Noble Chun sensed the crisis and naturally wanted to climb up the ladder or find an ally."
"Looking at all the high-ranking concubines in the palace, I will fight her to the death!"
"Princess Xuan and Concubine Chen are in the same group. It's impossible for them to like her."
"Empress Xue has always kept people at a distance, so if Concubine Chun goes there, she will only be asking for trouble."
"And Concubine Zhuang... Oh, with Concubine Zhuang's cunningness, it's hard to say who will scheme against whom."
"In the end, only Concubine Kang is left, so Concubine Chun will definitely pick the weak ones."
Xiao Tianzi understood instantly: "Your Majesty, if Concubine Chun and Concubine Kang really form an alliance, it may be disadvantageous to us..."
"Noble Concubine Chun is already cunning, and with the addition of Concubine Kang, who has a prince as her child, our chances of winning are even lower..."
Wangpin didn't think so: "What are you afraid of?"
"They are in the light, and I am in the dark."
"I am worried that I can't find any evidence against Concubine Chun and send her to hell! If Concubine Kang really forms an alliance with her, the two of them will definitely be plotting something."
"But they don't know that I have already discovered this matter. I will catch them off guard when the time comes!"
"Xiao Tianzi, send someone more cautious to keep an eye on Chuxiu Palace."
