Chapter 1124 The eldest daughter is as bright as spring flowers (two hundred and forty-six)
Why doesn't Qingli understand what Dunmin means?
Once upon a time, the most dazzling and noble person in the capital was the eldest princess, the legitimate princess of the previous emperor and the legitimate sister of the current emperor. But now the eldest princess is no longer favored by the emperor and is just an ordinary princess in the royal family.
Instead, it was Dunmin who became the leader of the royal princesses. When Zhao Yu came to power, it was very likely that she would not be valued by Zhao Yu. After all, there was a huge age gap between the two.
The men in her family weren't particularly successful either. Her husband just checked in at the Hanlin Academy every day and never moved. Like the husbands of wealthy women, he didn't care about anything else but maintaining his noble demeanor. Wouldn't Dunmin be worried about her family's status being shaken?
Dunmin didn't need Qingli's answer. This young Duke's wife, who was twenty years younger than her, knew everything but was very tight-lipped. She didn't expect any feedback.
"Father is in good spirits. I think I've been worrying too much."
"The princess is right. May your majesty be in good health and live a long and blessed life."
Qingli was just saying some polite words. When they returned home and were on their own turf, she and her husband would not speak like that.
The couple had discussed that according to the current situation, it was very likely that Concubine Tian and Zhao Yu would be the final winners. This might not be a good thing for them. After all, in Concubine Tian's eyes, their Wei family was too ignorant.
Although neither the Wei nor the Song families had women in their harems, that didn't stop them from having people in the palace. After all, these aristocratic families, for the sake of their family's prosperity, would only gather as much information as possible to avoid being caught off guard and making a wrong decision. Sometimes, if Qingli hadn't been certain her father hadn't considered rebellion, she would have thought he was hiding it too well. This secret move didn't seem like what a loyal subject would do.
Of course, she is no less capable. She has Qiqi herself, and she is constantly training new people and building an intelligence network.
When she found out that Concubine Jia was dying, she was sure that it was the Queen and Concubine Tian who were behind it, because the Queen wanted Concubine Jia to die and then throw dirty water on Concubine Tian to see if she could eventually get Zhao Jing into her own hands and become the Queen Mother who ruled the country from behind the scenes.
Unfortunately, the queen was just daydreaming. She had people around her like Concubine Tian, and the chess pieces that had never been activated before were extremely powerful once they were activated.
And Concubine Tian's people even sneaked into the Qixia Palace and were right next to Zhao Jing.
Qingli thought about it and found that Concubine Jia would die within three months. Concubine Tian would blame the Queen for Concubine Jia's death. Maybe Zhao Jing would also have an accident. The death of mother and son would be blamed on the Queen. Even if the Emperor still cared about his first wife, he would depose the Queen. At that time, the Queen would only die in the cold palace, and no one would suspect that it was Concubine Tian who did it.
If that's the case, wouldn't Concubine Tian and Zhao Yu benefit?
Once Zhao Jing died, even if the emperor still had doubts, for the sake of the country, he would not investigate Zhao Yu and his mother in depth.
Qingli was just there to watch the fun and wanted to make things even more confusing.
In fact, Concubine Tian just wanted to make the Queen's health worse so that she would not have the energy to fight her, so the medicine she gave her was not a deadly poison and ordinary doctors could not detect it.
But Qingli is an expert in using poisons. She knows how to turn the medicine into a drug guide, transforming it into a poison that can be discovered upon careful inspection.
All the princesses knew how to burn incense. With the help of the Ninth Princess, there was no need to tell her the truth. She only needed to maintain her usual habit of burning incense to make the Queen believe that Concubine Tian really poisoned her and wanted her to die.
Wei Ying was discussing palace affairs and complaining, "The Ninth Princess completely believed in the hidden plan that Concubine Luo had given her. She didn't even consider that if Concubine Luo and her son had known Concubine Tian's tactics and pawns so well, would they have ended up like that?"
