"Why didn't master let big sister Biqiao kill that Mei Cainu this time and then shift the blame onto Ru Fei?”A palace maid dressed in pink was concentrating on removing the woman's makeup. Her soft black hair flowed down her hand, and a white jade hairpin of good quality had been placed in a red painted gold box.
The woman smiled and shook her head. Her beautiful face made it impossible for anyone to imagine that she was the mastermind behind the scenes. Since she had nothing to do, she fiddled with the beaded flowers and hairpins on the wooden table. After a long time, she said to the puzzled palace maid,"Do you think that if it's just like this, the emperor will only punish Ru Fei a little?"”
Although she did not understand why her master asked this, the palace maid still nodded,"Why not make it bigger?"”
Her slender fingers had already caressed her cheek. At this moment, her beautiful face revealed a hint of evil. She quietly took off her pair of jade earrings. The two earrings intertwined together and made a pleasant sound. Just as you said, I just wanted the emperor to punish her a little.”
The palace maid was even more confused. She looked at her master's plain face in the mirror and frowned slightly. It was as if he would never know what she was thinking.
"This time, the Emperor has changed his usual style and only brought Mei Cainu to hunt. It can be seen that this Mei Cainu will definitely be favored in the future.”She took the wooden comb from the palace maid and combed her hair. Her flowing black hair became docile in her hands." So I chose not to kill her and stayed." Leaving behind Concubine Ru to hate her, Concubine Zhen to be jealous of her, and the other concubines to be jealous of her. If one day, she really gains power, then she can help me get rid of one of Concubines Ru and Zhen.”
[So that's how it is.] The palace maid sighed in her heart. Her master's thoughts were really meticulous. She had already thought of such a faraway place.[Then, what if that Mei Cainu loses her power in the future?]”
She smiled, her clear eyes emitting infinite light. If that day came, then she would be worthless.”Her voice was very calm, but her smile was very thick. Her tone did not seem to be talking about bloody things. Instead, they were discussing a romantic matter.
The palace maid's body unconsciously shivered, her hands suddenly turning cold, and for some reason, a slight chill seeped into her back. But soon, she regained her senses and tried to adjust herself, so she smiled and said casually,"I think that Mei Cainu's thoughts seem simple and innocent. She doesn't seem like someone who fights in the palace."”
She had already stood up. She was dressed in a light blue undergarment and looked as if she was floating in the air. One could not judge a person by their appearance. Even if she was really as innocent as you know, she would definitely become a ghost when she gained power in the future.”
"Is there anything wrong with the letter to Consort Zhen? She seemed to have thought of something and suddenly asked.
The palace maid immediately understood and smiled,"Don't worry, Master. No one will suspect anything."”
She seemed to nod in satisfaction. She turned around and sat on the bed. The palace maid hurriedly went forward to take off her shoes. She, who was kneeling on the ground, suddenly heard her master say," This time, even if the evidence is conclusive, the Emperor will not do anything to Consort Ru. The Ru family's power still has influence in the court."”At this point, she suddenly changed the topic." However, even if it's just a small punishment, it's enough to make her hate Mei Cainu and intensify the struggle between her and Consort Zhen. And the Emperor would definitely feel sorry for Mei Cainu and promote her.”
"At that time, Master's plan will begin to play out step by step.”The palace maid covered her with the blanket and continued her conversation.
She did not answer her, nor did she continue to speak. She just rubbed her tired eyelids and whispered to the palace maid beside her,"I'm tired. You can go down." Observe the movements on all sides and report back immediately if there are any discoveries. And that palace maid, remember to do it cleanly.”
"This servant knows." The palace maid slowly put down the crescent white curtain by her bed and walked out of the hall quietly. The lights in the hall had been extinguished, but her clear eyes did not close.
Tonight, for some reason, she suddenly felt a trace of tiredness in her heart.
***************
As expected, after the Emperor received the news from the palace, he immediately rushed back to the palace with Mei Cainu. Everyone in the palace was discussing how important Mei Cainu was in the Emperor's heart.
After Ru Fei returned to her own Bright Moon Palace, she felt some lingering fear. Although she knew that the Emperor wouldn't do anything to her, the spearhead was pointed at her after all. No matter how he tried to absolve himself, it was just a cover-up in the eyes of everyone. As a result, she was worried that her impression in the Emperor's heart would be greatly reduced. Although the Emperor had always been cold to her ever since she entered the palace, her heart would still beat wildly every time she saw him.
Because of this, she was jealous of the concubines in the palace. Sometimes, she did not want to, but the pampering of the Ru family's eldest miss was always revealed in front of everyone. Compared to Consort Zhen, the eldest daughter of the Lin family, her appearance could be said to be heaven and earth.
Just as Ru Fei was worried, Zhen Fei was pleased, and everyone was waiting to watch a good show, a small matter that affected the situation happened.
The palace maid named Zi Luo, who had accompanied Consort Ru with Bi Qiao, had died under Consort Zhen's watch. The token that appeared by the lake that day was hers. In other words, if Consort Ru really did something bad, then she must be an accomplice. The reason Consort Zhen kept a close watch on her was because she was afraid that Consort Ru would have the chance to lay a hand on her, causing the dead to be unable to speak.
Now, she had died under Consort Zhen's eyes. The forensic doctor had verified it, and the conclusion was that she had committed suicide. Suicide? However, Consort Zhen did not think so. She spread rumors everywhere, making everyone believe that Consort Ru had a guilty conscience and killed Zi Luo, making it look like she committed suicide to avoid punishment.
However, Concubine Ru's words were that Zi Luo hated Mei Cainu, or that she wanted to protect her master's position, and did something stupid, but she, as her master, was completely unaware of it. For this reason, Ru Fei even buried Zi Luo's body in a grand manner and allowed her family members outside the palace to come and collect her whole body to show her loyalty.
This way, after the Emperor returned to the palace, the case suddenly became more complicated.
Since there was no evidence, the emperor could only punish Ru Fei for her poor discipline and sent her to the Hall of Peace Prayer to copy the Buddhist scriptures ten times. She could only return to Hao Yue Palace after copying. Due to the current status of the Ru family, the Emperor ordered Consort Zhen to discipline the harem and not let this matter spread.
As for Mei Cainu, although the Emperor did not promote her rank, he bestowed her with many jewelry. She was so happy that her heart bloomed, and she felt like she had benefited from a disaster.
