Chapter 269: Concubine Hua plots to kill someone with a borrowed knife
Yikun Palace
"Greetings to Concubine Hua, may the queen be blessed with good health and good health."
After Jiang Fuhai received the Queen's order, he rushed to Yikun Palace as soon as possible.
Seeing that Concubine Hua had no intention of calling out, Jiang Fuhai could only kneel on the ground and speak.
"Your Highness, the Queen Mother said that there is an epidemic in the palace now. Among the high-ranking concubines, only Your Highness and Huipin can help the Queen Mother take care of the harem. The East Six Palaces have been sprinkled with burning strong liquor, and now they are burning moxa leaves. The West Six Palaces will be left to Your Highness and Huipin to take charge."
"But our Queen also said that Concubine Hui is young after all and is not as experienced as Concubine Hua in managing the harem, so the assignment of tasks in the six western palaces still has to be done by you, Queen."
"understood."
Hua Fei didn't expect that the Queen would let Hui Fei handle affairs with her. She snorted coldly, looked at the Dankou she had just made, and said lazily.
"The Queen also said that the epidemic is now spreading like wildfire, and she hopes that Concubine Hua can take good care of it and make sure that there is not a single piece of it left in the entire West Six Palaces. If the epidemic gets out of hand, it will be troublesome."
Jiang Fuhai looked at Concubine Hua and continued.
"Your Majesty, I know what to do."
Hua Fei spoke with some impatience.
When Jiang Fuhai saw that Concubine Hua had agreed, he left without saying anything more.
"My lady, this epidemic is a good opportunity."
"Didn't the Queen ask Huipin to manage the six western palaces with you? Your status is noble and naturally you can't go to each palace in person to watch the palace servants burn mugwort leaves, but Huipin can make this trip for you."
"In order to prevent the Empress from saying that we didn't follow her orders, even if something goes wrong, the responsibility will be Huipin's. There will be nothing to say if we bring it to the Empress and the Emperor for judgment."
As soon as Concubine Cao rolled her eyes, she knew it was a bad idea.
She was resentful towards Concubine Hui in her heart. She had given birth to Wen Yi for the emperor, but her rank was still just that of a noble lady.
This Concubine Hui was just faking her pregnancy, but the Emperor loved her so much that he gave her the position of concubine and even specially gave her a title. How could she not be jealous?
If I could also be promoted to the position of concubine, maybe the emperor would return Wen Yi to me.
Her Wen Yi was still so young, but she left her shortly after she turned one year old and was taken away by Concubine Jing.
Although Jingpin didn't mind her visiting Wen Yi, how could she not understand Jingpin's thoughts? Naturally, she didn't want to have too much contact with Wen Yi. In order for Wen Yi to get better care from Jingpin, she could only bear the longing and try not to visit Wen Yi as much as possible.
Listening to the servants talking about what happened to Wen Yi today, the longing in her heart was like dodder, entangled madly in her heart, making her feel unbearable pain whenever she thought of Wen Yi.
Wen Yi is waiting for mother. Mother will definitely climb up step by step by stepping on others, and you will definitely come back to mother.
"That's a good idea."
"Since the Queen wants me to take care of Huipin more, I will certainly not let her down."
When Concubine Hua heard what Concubine Cao said, she found it very reasonable.
It would be even better if Shen Meizhuang was accidentally infected with the plague. It would be best if Shen Meizhuang died from the plague so that she wouldn't have to do it herself.
"She was lucky that she was not able to completely suppress Shen Meizhuang at the beginning, but she is not so lucky now."
Concubine Cao didn't want to just wait like this. She had to set up the death of Shen Meiyu herself to win back Concubine Hua's trust.
After all, the previous fake pregnancy incident and the subsequent tapioca flour were not successful, and Concubine Hua was very dissatisfied with herself. If it weren't for the fact that Concubine Hua didn't have many useful people under her command, she would probably have been forgotten by Concubine Hua long ago.
Now is a good opportunity for me to take action. If I can successfully get rid of Shen Meizhuang, I think Concubine Hua will definitely value me more.
Nian Gengyao had enormous power, and Concubine Hua was at the peak of her power in the palace. If he could gain Concubine Hua's appreciation and attention, his position might be able to move up.
"I wonder if there is anything useful in the womb of Xiaode, who was infected with the plague in Yikun Palace?"
Concubine Cao quickly thought of a good way to kill someone with a borrowed knife.
"My Lord, since I found out that this little Dezi was infected with the plague, I have already asked someone to burn and smash all the things that he used. Now the only thing that can be used is a set of tea sets that have not been smashed."
"This set of tea set was given to Xiao Dezi by the Empress, so Xiao Dezi has been using this set of tea set to drink water. If someone accidentally uses this set of tea set, they will definitely be infected with the epidemic."
When Zhou Ninghai heard Concubine Cao ask this, he immediately understood what the other party was planning and answered with a sinister smile on his face.
"This little Dezi is also a grateful person. This tea set is a good thing. It would be a pity if it was smashed."
Hua Fei naturally understood what Concubine Cao meant and spoke with a smile.
"Let Huipin use this thing when she has the chance. As for how to use it, that's up to you."
"My lady, don't worry, I know what to do with this little matter."
Zhou Ninghai said with a flattering smile.
Cun Ju Tang
"Greetings to Concubine Hui, may the queen be blessed with good health and good fortune."
Zhou Ninghai smiled and bowed to Huipin.
"Why is the eunuch here? What does Empress Hua want?"
Shen Meizhuang asked indifferently.
"Reporting to the queen, the epidemic is raging now, and the queen is unable to handle it all by herself, so the queen has handed over all the affairs of the six western palaces to the queen Hua and the queen Hui. The queen said that the queen Hua has rich experience in managing the six palaces, so she specially asked the queen Hua to take care of you more. This time, I came here to pass on the queen Hua's message to the queen."
Zhou Ninghai frowned slightly, then spoke.
"In that case, does Empress Hua have any instructions?"
Shen Meizhuang didn't think that Concubine Hua would use such a thing to deceive people, so she asked straight to the point.
After all, she didn't think that Concubine Hua would be someone who was easy to talk to. Now that she had the Queen's feathers, she naturally had to use them as a token of authority.
"Empress Hua is in charge of all the affairs of the West Six Palaces, so she is really busy. However, the entire West Six Palaces must follow the instructions of the Empress. Not only must strong liquor be burned, but also moxa leaves must be burned to dispel the plague. Nothing can be left in any corner of the West Six Palaces, so Concubine Hui has to be in charge in person and watch over these servants."
"After all, the impact of this epidemic is very serious. If we don't take good care of it, and something is left behind that makes the epidemic worse, it will be troublesome."
