Chapter 381 Let Her Go to Accompany Concubine De
Zhongcui Palace.
Although the queen won a great victory in this incident and made Concubine Jiang suffer the consequences of her own actions, Handan and the others did not feel happy, but instead felt a sense of thrill.
They simply couldn't imagine how the situation would have developed if the Empress had not seen through Concubine Jiang's plan after planting the nails in the Taiji Palace...
Nanny Lin, in particular, was extremely distressed.
The queen is still pregnant, but she has to face so many swords and sabers every day. It is really not easy.
Shen Zhinian smiled and comforted them: "...I don't feel it's hard. As early as when I entered the palace, I anticipated the hardships of the harem."
"If you want glory, how can you avoid taking risks?"
Seeing her so calm and composed, Handan and the others gradually calmed down.
However, this incident did serve as a wake-up call to Shen Zhinian.
If one day, someone uses the same trick again and uses her underwear to set a trap. Although Her Majesty may not believe it, the rumors in the palace will eventually cause her a lot of trouble.
The maids and nurses involved in the laundry department were all dealt with, and Shen Zhinian simply replaced them with people who were loyal to her. From now on, all her clothes will be the responsibility of them.
Shen Zhinian has the authority to assist in managing the six palaces and is also a victim in this incident, so there is nothing wrong with doing this.
Even when Concubine Liu found out, she didn't say anything. Instead, she followed Shen Zhinian's example and sent someone to wash her clothes.
After all, the reputation of a concubine cannot be damaged. Even if she is in a high position and has great power, she will have to bear the consequences if she is involved in such things. Of course, we must take precautions in advance!
The next day.
Fuqiu reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, Qiangwei came here privately to ask for an audience, away from the eyes and ears of others."
Qiangwei was the spy that Shen Zhinian had planted in Taiji Palace before. After Jiang Wange was demoted, she returned to the Imperial Household Department with other palace maids.
"Send her in."
"Yes!"
Qiangwei knelt on the ground and bowed respectfully to Shen Zhinian: "This servant greets Concubine Rou, may the Concubine be blessed with good health!"
Shen Zhinian said in a gentle voice: "If it weren't for your cleverness this time, I'm afraid I would have been tricked by Concubine Jiang. You have made an invaluable contribution, so there's no need to be polite. Get up quickly."
Qiangwei's eyes were filled with gratitude: "My sister was seriously ill and was about to die. It was Your Majesty who sent Doctor Tang to treat her. My sister was able to save her life."
"This is a great favor that I will never forget. I am willing to sacrifice my life for you, Madam!"
When the imperial physician was on duty in the palace, he could not leave the palace to see patients. But after leaving the court and returning to his residence outside the palace, his time was his own.
Shen Zhinian asked: "What are your plans for the future?"
"Do you want to come to my palace, or is there somewhere else you want to go?"
Qiangwei shook her head: "When I left Taiji Palace, I noticed that Concubine Jiang looked at Mo Yun with a strange look in her eyes. She obviously suspected that Mo Yun had betrayed her. This is perfect, let them fight among themselves."
"If I come to Zhongcui Palace, Lady Jiang will immediately understand that the real traitor is not Mo Yun, but me."
"Although the Majesty is here and will not let Lady Jiang do anything to me, I don't want to cause trouble for the Majesty."
"And... and I still want to continue to serve you! Wherever you need me to go, I will go!"
Qiangwei said this not only to repay her gratitude, but also to secure a future for herself.
After all, there are so many powerful palace maids in Zhongcui Palace, and she can't occupy an important position after she comes. Only by constantly making achievements outside, her weight in the heart of the queen will become more and more important.
Shen Zhinian thought for a while: "...It just so happens that in half a month, the palace will release a group of palace maids who have reached the age of retirement, and the Ministry of Internal Affairs will reallocate palace maids to take their place. In that case, you can go to Changchun Palace to serve."
"But Concubine Liang is a cautious person. You may not be able to gain her trust if you go there. You may only be able to do rough work in the yard for a long time and cannot even go into the inner chamber."
Qiangwei said solemnly: "I am not afraid of hardship and am willing to serve you! As long as one day you can use me, it will be worth it to me!"
Shen Zhinian nodded: "Don't worry, I will send someone to take good care of your family."
Qiangwei showed a sweet smile: "Thank you, my lady!"
"I will not disturb your Majesty's rest. I will take my leave now!"
After Qiangwei left, Shen Zhinian leaned against the window and read a book.
Handan said angrily, "My Lady, Concubine Jiang is so abominable. Now that she has lost her power, why don't we take this opportunity to... put an end to the trouble forever!"
Shen Zhinian put down the book and looked at her: "Do you think that if Concubine Jiang did something like this, His Majesty would allow her to continue to live a life of luxury in the palace as a Concubine?"
"If that's the case, why should we dirty our hands and give others something to hold against us?"
Just like Concubine Liang, she never did evil things herself, but always borrowed others' help, just to ensure that she would not have any stains on her when she aspired to be the queen in the future.
Shen Zhinian felt that he had to learn from his opponents in some areas and make the best use of their strengths and avoid their weaknesses.
Handan lowered her head: "I just feel that Concubine Jiang is not only vicious, but also hypocritical. She did bad things, but still thinks she is a good person. This kind of ignorant evil is more disgusting than blatant evil!"
Shen Zhinian sensed the increasingly severe atmosphere in the palace and said calmly, "Be patient and wait."
"Oh, right... tell the people in the Ministry of Internal Affairs that Shuixi Pavilion needs to be repaired because of the leak, and move Han to Ruixue Pavilion."
Ruixuexuan is the hall on the left side of Chengqian Palace.
Since Han Da Ying feels that she will have a backer in the harem by marrying up with Concubine De, let her stay with Concubine De!
Concubine De has lost the emperor's trust. Every time Nangong Xuanyu sees her, he will think of how she wanted to use the eldest princess to kill the royal heir.
Han Ying lives with Concubine De and is also a supporter of Concubine De. In this case, will the emperor favor Han Ying or hate her?
Shen Zhinian smiled sarcastically.
No matter what you do in the harem, as long as you have a legitimate reason, you don't have to worry about being criticized.
Fuqiu replied "yes" and did it immediately.
After dinner, Fuqiu reported: "My lady, Han Da Ying heard about this arrangement and was extremely happy."
"She boasted to others that His Majesty often went to Chengqian Palace to see the Third Prince. After she moved into Ruixuexuan, she would see His Majesty much more often than before."
"What didn't work out for you, she succeeded with Consort De. Maybe she will become the second Concubine Sun."
Shen Zhinian put down the teacup in his hand: "How stupid!"
Little Zhouzi hurried in from outside: "Your Majesty, His Majesty is here!"
Shen Zhinian immediately prepared to receive the emperor.
As before, she was stopped by the emperor before she could salute.
"... Nian Nian, how do you feel now?"
