Getting Rich from Legend of Zhen Huan

Chapter 198 Yixiu's Plot and Song Shufujin

But Hongxi's pity has nothing to do with Yixiu. The most important thing is to protect her baby. "Did Honghui notice that something is wrong with Hongxi?"

Jian Qiu replied, "Not only did this servant see the scene that day, the young master also saw it clearly."

Since Honghui never thought of talking about this with Yixiu, he must have known it well. He has been in the palace for almost ten years and he no longer has the ability to do this. This is something that only the fool Hongshi could do.

However, a mother is always worried when her son is far away, so Yixiu still ordered, "Let our palace keep a close eye on him. Honghui is young, so we should be prepared for the worst. Also, notify his aunt in case of any accidents."

Even Kangxi was not sure how much power the deposed crown prince had. Who knew if he would leave a dangerous trump card for Hongxi? It was enough to make Yixiu feel distressed that Honghui was scratched without killing a thousand enemies and losing eight hundred of his own.

After talking about Honghui, Yixiu talked about another matter of concern, "Has the reply from the Lu family arrived at the mansion?"

Jianqiu was very concerned about Yixiu's arrangements and had sent people to keep an eye on Fuyao Pavilion early on. "Mian'er, who was with Lu Gege, went out of the house today. She didn't bring much with her and looked relaxed. I guess it was a letter from Lord Lu."

Lu Yingfeng thought he had nothing to give Yixiu, and Yixiu was so greedy for Lord Lu's military power that she almost cried. With Jiang Chen in charge of the civil officials, there was no need to worry about the future civil officials, but there was no armed force at all, which made Yixiu feel at ease!

Although you can do without a sword, you can't be without one. This is clear from the Fourth Prince's road to succession. Although he didn't use it, when he finally ascended the throne, the army under Nian Gengyao and the imperial guards under Longkodo provided a great help to the Fourth Prince!

Otherwise, how could the Eighth Prince and the Fourteenth Prince, who never gave up, do such disgusting tricks? There is an old saying that goes, when the enemy can only disgust you with insidious means, it means that he has lost the strength to confront you head-on.

Yixiu has observed the affairs of the imperial court over the years and feels deeply in agreement with them. Therefore, the Tibetan campaign is indeed a good opportunity. If handled properly, Yixiu can place some people who can gain military merit and cultivate his own power.

This trick was learned from the Fourth Prince. After all, Kangxi might not even know Longkodo and Nian Gengyao, whom he trusted, until his death. Nian Gengyao could still be said to have clues to follow, but Longkodo was really unexpected.

Following suit, Yixiu also planned to make two preparations, one that is obviously possible, and the other one that is absolutely unexpected:).

All these plans were inseparable from Lu Tong's help. Originally, Yixiu was planning to boil Lu Yingfeng like a frog in warm water. After all, as her biological mother, Lu Gege would sooner or later think of the right to decide the eldest princess' marriage, and Yixiu had half or even more of it.

But I didn't expect Nian Shilan to play well and assist, which directly pushed Lu Yingfeng to the edge of the cliff, and he could only look for the last straw to save his life. Otherwise, no one would mention Yixiu's advantages without leaving a trace. How could a little girl like Mian'er give Lu Yingfeng inspiration?

Estimating how skillful Lü Yingfeng was, Yixiu said to Jianqiu, "Go and tell Concubine Song that the time has come."

Jianqiu reacted when she heard Yixiu mention Concubine Song, then she remembered that Yixiu was talking about Princess Song, who gave birth to the first child in the palace. No wonder Jianqiu also reacted, Princess Song had not been in public for a long time, and the newcomers who came in later were only heard of her name but not seen in person.

Although Lian Fei Pavilion has been well maintained under Yi Xiu's suggestion, it already exudes an air of decay from the inside out. After all, the owner of Lian Fei Pavilion is completely absorbed in the Buddhist temple and doesn't come out every day. Where does the popularity come from?

Dong! Dong! Dong! Along with the crisp sound of wooden fish and the deep chanting of Buddhist scriptures, Jinzhan stood outside the door, waiting for Song Qiyun to finish her daily chanting.

Jianqiu, who was beside Jinzhan, was not in a hurry either. She just listened to the chanting inside and sighed helplessly in her heart. The early death of the eldest princess took away half of Song Qiyun's soul, leaving only half of a walking corpse wandering in the world.

The voice inside stopped, and Jinzhan knocked on the door, "Master, Aunt Jianqiu from Fu Jin's side is here to visit."

Song Qiyun put away the tools for chanting sutras today without feeling sad or happy, and said coldly, "Aunt Jianqiu, please come in!"

Once they entered the Buddhist temple, not to mention Jianqiu, anyone who had seen Song Qiyun in the past would not recognize her now.

The outstanding Song Gege in those days knew how to dress and joked. As her name suggests, she had a beautiful and charming demeanor. What about the current Song Shufujin? She is wearing an old Manchu dress, with a simple silver hairpin to fix her hair and Buddhist beads wrapped around her hands. She looks like a deity surrounded by incense, without any emotion.

Song Qiyun asked, "But what's going on with Fu Jin?"

Jianqiu replied respectfully, "Fujin asked me to tell you that the time has come."

Song Qiyun paused while moving the Buddhist beads. The beads snapped and the string broke in her excitement. She didn't care about the beads falling to the ground. She asked Jianqiu with tears in her eyes, "Did Fu Jin really say that?"

After getting Jianqiu's affirmative nod, Song Qiyun stumbled towards the main house. Jinzhan looked at Jianqiu apologetically, but Jianqiu didn't care about Song Qiyun's impoliteness, and just asked Jinzhan to look after Song Qiyun and she would go back.

Jinzhan watched Jianqiu walk away, then walked quickly to the main house. Song Qiyun was holding something, crying silently. Jinzhan said distressedly, "Master, this is a happy event. Our eldest sister will finally have a name."

Song Qiyun stroked the faded little clothes in her arms, as if her daughter had never left. Song Qiyun said in a trance, "You are right, this is a good thing, the eldest sister will have a name! Our eldest sister is so well-behaved, she will definitely have a good name."

Looking at the half-crazy Song Qiyun, Jinzhan burst into tears. When the eldest princess died, the prince came to pay tribute to her from time to time, but as time went by, facing his master who was immersed in grief, the prince lost his patience and stopped coming to Lianfei Pavilion.

Over the years, only Fu Jin remembered the birthday and death anniversaries of the eldest princess and came to pray for her every year. As for the fourth prince, it was as if he had never had this child and continued to enjoy himself in his ups and downs.

Since Lu Gege of Fuyao Pavilion also gave birth to a daughter, even the only thing that can prove the existence of the eldest princess is gone.

Song Qiyun has been regretting all these years. Why didn't she follow the doctor's advice when she was pregnant? Why didn't she cherish the eldest princess? She also blamed the gods and Buddhas, saying, "I did something wrong, so why are you looking for retribution on me? Why did you take my child away?"

Upon hearing that a new princess was born, if it weren't for the promise of the concubine to give the princess a title, the already mad Song Qiyun would have died with Lu Yingfeng and her daughter.
