Chapter 886 As long as Concubine Chen believes in her
Shen Zhinian raised his eyes to look at Concubine Zhuang and asked directly, "Concubine Zhuang came to Zhongcui Palace to ask for an audience today. What's the matter?"
Concubine Zhuang waved her hand, signaling the maid behind her to bring the tray up, and said softly, "I am here to return the account book and seal. Please check, Your Majesty, Concubine Chen."
Seeing Shen Zhinian's eye signal, Fuqiu immediately stepped forward to take it and examined it carefully.
Yu Mei then realized that when the queen sent the account book and seal just now, the queen did not check it so carefully. It was obvious that the queen trusted her own queen, but did not trust the queen Zhuang.
Obviously, Xue Fei also understood this truth, and her eyes became softer when she looked at Shen Zhinian.
Concubine Zhuang had no idea what the master and servant were thinking.
Not to mention Concubine Chen, even she would carefully check anything that has been handled by others.
There is nothing wrong with what Concubine Chen did.
Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Xue only dealt with the affairs of the harem for three days, so there were not many things to check.
Soon, Fuqiu nodded to Shen Zhinian and asked someone to put away the account book and seal.
Shen Zhinian said to Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Xue, "Some things happened in Zhongcui Palace these days. I'm sorry to bother you with the affairs of the harem."
The two of them stood up and said, "It is an honor for us to share the worries of Concubine Chen!"
Then, Concubine Zhuang looked at Concubine Xue and said with a smile, "I just told Ruoli that maybe I would meet Concubine Xue on the way to Zhongcui Palace."
"I never thought that Concubine Xue would be one step faster than me."
Concubine Xue still had that cold look on her face: "You're not slow at all."
After this episode, Concubine Zhuang said to Shen Zhinian, "My Lady Concubine Chen, the things have been delivered. I will take my leave now."
Concubine Xue glanced at the yawning Second Princess and stood up as well: "Nannan has been out for so long, it's time for her to take a nap, I will take her back first."
Shen Zhinian nodded: "Handan, send the two ladies out."
"Yes!"
Changchun Palace and Yanxi Palace are in different directions. After leaving Zhongcui Palace, Concubine Zhuang and Concubine Xue parted ways.
On the way back, Ruoli said with a sullen face: "Madam, I used to think that Madam Xue Fei was quite honest among all the empresses and ladies in the palace."
"Today I finally know that she is more cunning than anyone else!"
"If not, why did she arrive at Zhongcui Palace before you did?"
"She just wants everyone, His Majesty, to think that she is not greedy for power and is a pure and flawless lotus. How hypocritical!"
Concubine Zhuang sat on the sedan chair and glanced at Ruoli, "Okay."
"She arrived first, so let her be. She's just returning something. Why should we argue with her? Just keep your mouth shut."
Ruoli then curled her lips reluctantly: "My lady, you just have too good a temper."
Concubine Zhuang smiled helplessly: "We can't control other people. The most important thing is to do our own thing well."
"How's your dancing going?"
Speaking of this, Ruoli's cheeks turned red, and she showed the shyness that a girl of her age should have: "...I have improved a lot compared to before."
"My lady, I have never given up trying!"
Concubine Zhuang nodded with satisfaction: "You are so ambitious. I will definitely find a suitable opportunity for you to live up to your beauty."
Ruoli was both shy and grateful: "This servant thinks that your Majesty's appearance is the most outstanding! Dignified and elegant, unlike those voluptuous and seductive women who are not presentable."
……
Chuxiu Palace.
The fifth prince was born prematurely and was weak, destined to not live past the age of twenty. His body was even weaker than the second princess's when she was just born.
It can be imagined that Concubine Kang put a lot of effort into taking care of him, and it was even harder than Concubine Xue did at the beginning.
Because she was too busy and tired every day, Concubine Kang had almost no time and energy to pay attention to other things in the palace.
This is not bad for Concubine Kang.
She was not a scheming person and did not like the complicated struggles in the harem. Now that she had the fifth prince, it was a happy thing for her to live her own life behind closed doors.
Who knew that at this moment, Cai Ju strode in from outside, and said in horror: "Oh no! Something happened!"
"My lady, something terrible has happened!"
The fifth prince had just finished drinking milk, and Concubine Kang was holding him and patting him gently to help him pass the gas.
Hearing this, she frowned, handed the fifth prince back to the nurse, looked at Caiju and asked, "Why are you so flustered? What happened?"
Now, the most important thing for her is the matter related to the fifth prince. But the fifth prince is still fine, what could be the big deal?
Cai Ju said breathlessly, "It's about the Imperial Concubine Chen, the... the Imperial Seal was cracked!"
This matter was widely circulated in the palace, and Concubine Kang naturally knew about it a long time ago.
But the world does not know that she and Concubine Chen have already become allies in secret.
Firstly, Concubine Kang didn't want to expose this relationship rashly.
Secondly, although she raised the fifth prince, she had little influence in the palace and could not do anything at this time. If she rushed out rashly, it might cause trouble for Concubine Chen.
Therefore, Concubine Kang has been watching the changes in Chuxiu Palace.
Hearing Caiju's words, she asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"
"But what did the people from the Ministry of Justice, the Dali Temple, and the Ministry of Punishment find out?"
Cai Ju was almost crying out of anxiety: "Investigate, investigate...it's your fault!"
"What did you say?!"
The teacup in Kangpin's hand suddenly fell to the ground. She raised her head with a pair of eyes full of shock and disbelief: "I have no idea what's going on. How did it get to me?!"
Cai Ju spoke like pouring beans: "It was the lord in charge of this matter who found out that the craftsman who tampered with the seal was a relative of your mother's family!"
"Your Majesty has already sent people to arrest all the Zhang family members who are related to this matter, so the master hurriedly sent someone to deliver the message and asked you to think of a solution..."
For the first time, Concubine Kang experienced the feeling of being at a loss.
She has no idea what's going on!
However, Concubine Kang also understood that there were too many frame-ups in the palace. She didn't know how many innocent people had become scapegoats for others and died in vain in this deep palace.
Now it's her turn?!
Caiju understood very well that, given His Majesty's fondness for Concubine Chen, once the charge was proven, Concubine Chen would not be able to continue raising the Fifth Prince, and it would be a blessing if she was not sentenced to death.
By then, none of the palace servants who serve them will have a good ending!
Caiju was almost crying. She looked at Concubine Kang and asked anxiously, "Your Majesty, please think of a solution quickly. What should we do now?!"
Kangpin took a deep breath and calmed herself down.
She doesn't even know what's going on, so how could she know who is framing her?
But Concubine Kang understood that as long as Concubine Chen believed in her, the crisis would be largely resolved!
