Chapter 519 Testing Wang Sheng
Chapter 519 Testing Wang Sheng
"But the people we arranged in Chengqian Palace are..." When this was mentioned, Huipin's heart was shrouded in a shadow. She did not forget that there was a potential threat thousands of kilometers away.
"The Tong Jia clan, like the Tong family, is a family of high-minded people. Naturally, there are some ignorant and self-righteous servants among them.
Send someone to whisper in their ears, making them think that Concubine Rong has completely fallen, and that her title and position have not been stripped away only for the sake of the princes and princesses.
If I can vent my master's anger, I believe he will appreciate me.
Huge benefits are right in front of us, and there will always be people who are tempted."
"But if they really did something cruel to Concubine Rong, and if they investigate further and find out that our people are involved..."
Huipin glanced at Nanny Wu unhappily and said:
"Aren't the Yanxi Palace and the Zhongcui Palace allies? Why should we do something like this alone?
Wouldn't it be better to send a message to Concubine Rong in advance? Even if there are really servants who are so bold, Concubine Rong will not be a pushover."
However, alliances within the palace are the most unreliable, and backstabbing by allies is the norm. So, "Will Concubine Rong really cooperate?"
"What good would it do to turn your guns against us? In other words, do you think Rong Fei sees our Yanxi Palace as a greater threat than the Tonggiya clan?"
Nothing in the world is absolute. After all, her master is the mistress of a palace, and a mistress with a title.
She has been favored and enjoyed glory, and she has a son, so she is not without a chance to turn things around.
The reason why His Majesty now dislikes his master is simply because of the death of Prince Chenghu.
Although others are not very clear about it, the Emperor must be well aware of it. The death of Prince Chenghu was merely caused by his master. The main reason was that his biological mother wanted to use his death to exonerate herself from the crime.
Not to mention, his master did such a cruel thing not for himself or for power and status.
His crime deserves death, but his situation deserves sympathy.
His Majesty may not have forgotten the child that his master miscarried at the New Year's Eve banquet, as well as Prince Chengqing.
Nanny Wu looked at her master and sighed.
It’s a pity that her master was heartbroken by the Emperor and refused to compete for his favor anymore.
But it was better this way. After all, even though Nanny Wu was a servant in the Yanx Palace, she couldn't say against her will that her master was more powerful than Concubine Rong.
It would be better to hide behind Concubine Rong. Although she eats meat and they can only drink soup, at least they can live in peace.
As long as Prince Yinzhen grows up and leaves the palace to set up his own household, they will have hope for the Yanx Palace.
"Master, should we let Wang Sheng do this?" Perhaps the master saw that Wang Sheng was not a man who would keep content, so he had been unwilling to use him over the years, and important matters would not go through Wang Sheng's hands.
Wang Sheng was full of complaints about this. If he continued like this, he was afraid that the other party would really become alienated.
Huipin sneered, "Leave it to him? Ma'am, aren't you afraid that Wang Sheng will take this opportunity to sell us out and use it to climb up the Chengqian Palace ladder?
"It's not impossible, but my master, you forgot that Wang Sheng didn't know about the alliance with Zhongcui Palace.
In his eyes, we are still at odds with the Zhongcui Palace just as we were back then, but in recent years, the relationship has eased somewhat due to the kindness of Concubine Rong who has saved our prince several times."
Huipin looked at Nanny Wu and saw the coldness on her face. "Are you trying to test him?"
"Although there is no evidence that Wang Sheng was involved in the plot against the prince last time, I still feel that if Wang Sheng hadn't helped, Concubine Wu wouldn't have been able to succeed so easily."
If Wang Sheng really had ulterior motives, such a person staying in the Yanx Palace would be like a poisonous snake ready to bite anyone at any time, and would be a considerable threat to both the master and the prince.
Wang Sheng was a little nervous when he heard that he was summoned by his master, not knowing what he was about to face. However, after hearing his master's instructions, he was immediately ecstatic and repeatedly assured:
"Master, rest assured, I will do this beautifully."
It seems that the master is finally going to use him. It’s worth his agonizing wait during this period of time. Now, the chance to stand out has come.
He had been wrong before. Even if Yanxi Palace became a cold palace, so what? With Prince Yinzhen around, why would he worry about a hopeless future?
Although in the heart of His Majesty, Prince Yinzhen is not as good as the princes in Zhongcui Palace, but there is still a long way to go. No one can enjoy glory forever. Now Zhongcui Palace is beginning to show signs of decline.
Even if Zhongcui Palace rises again, what does it matter? The princes are still young now. Let's wait until they grow up. Not to mention others, the prince and the Hesheli family alone will not spare Zhongcui Palace, who has an eldest son and so many princes.
At that time, wouldn’t it be their chance to come to the fore in the Yanxi Palace?
But I was so stupid at the beginning. Just because I couldn't be transferred to be with the prince, I started to slack off, which allowed others to take advantage of the opportunity and almost harmed the prince.
However, when Wang Sheng saw that none of the servants around the prince were left, he felt only relief.
Although being a servant around a prince is indeed glorious, the risks are also very high. If anything happens to the prince, all the servants cannot escape the blame.
Therefore, it is safer to stay in the Yanx Palace and stay with the master. After all, there are palace maids who serve the master closely. If something happens, it will naturally be their responsibility. At worst, there is still Nanny Wu to take the lead.
What's more, the master is the prince's biological mother, and they are related by blood. When the prince really does... how bad can the master be?
Nanny Wu had been staring at Wang Sheng, and when she noticed that the joy on his face didn't seem fake, she couldn't help but wonder, could it be that she had guessed wrong before?
"Don't overdo it. For the master, it would be best if Zhongcui Palace and Chengqian Palace fought each other. It would be a dog-eat-dog fight.
But the master's purpose is just to vent his anger. If something goes wrong, it will be difficult to explain to the emperor."
Wang Sheng was just about to show off his skills, but when he heard what Madam Wu said, he couldn't help but feel confused. Did he misunderstand his master's meaning?
"Whether it's Concubine Rong or Tong Jia who's in trouble, I'm sure His Majesty won't let the other one go. In this way, wouldn't it be possible to solve two major problems at once?"
Huipin rolled her eyes and explained:
"A new bride is about to enter the palace. I heard that Khorchin has also sent someone. There are also two big Buddhas in the palace, the Nianhulu and the Tongjia. At this time, Rong Fei has completely fallen. The most conspicuous place is our Yanxi Palace."
You have to know that among the princes in the palace, apart from his own son Yinzhen and Crown Prince Yinreng, the only ones left were Rong Fei's children.
As for Wan Fu, the concubine of Nara, she had been forgotten by Huipin.
Wang Sheng suddenly realized, "Master is right."
The abilities of the newcomers are still unclear, so why should they let them fight and compete with each other while the Yanx Palace reaps the benefits?
"If that's the case, then why bother with all this?" Going through all this trouble just to incite Concubine Rong and Tong Jia to disgust each other? What for?
"Do you think it's a waste of time?" Wang Sheng lowered his head and didn't dare to speak. Although he did think so, he had finally had the opportunity to stand out, and he couldn't make his master angry at this time.
"Have you forgotten that Rong Fei's pregnancy is not stable?"
"Master means..." Wang Sheng's eyes lit up instantly.
"I didn't say anything."
"Yes, yes, I'll do it right away."
After Wang Sheng left, the mysterious expression on Huipin's face disappeared instantly. "I have to say, Rongfei's appearance is really intimidating."
"But I don't understand it myself. Can Wang Sheng really understand what I mean?" Huipin cast a curious look at Nanny Wu.
Nanny Wu was silent for a moment, then tentatively asked, "As the master just said, this is indeed a good opportunity."
"what?"
"There are already enough princes in Zhongcui Palace."
Huipin suddenly understood what Nanny Wu meant and was shocked. "You only tried to stop me before, but why are you instigating me today..."
Looking at Huipin's vigilant eyes, Nanny Wu said speechlessly:
"Since I have surrendered to you, I will naturally consider everything for you. I stopped you at first because the chances of success were slim.
At that time, Empress Hesheli firmly held the power of the palace, and it would be difficult for us to take action against Prince Chenghu under her nose. Even if we succeeded by chance, it would be difficult to escape the punishment for murdering the heir to the throne.
