Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me
Chapter 255 Not good
However, if Consort Zhen only had the little princess as her bloodline, she would surely pour all her maternal love into the little princess.
Although I don't have the right to compete with her for custody of the little princess, I can compete with her for the little princess's affection and closeness.
She couldn't very well stop Consort Zhen from seeing the little princess!
If that's the case, the Emperor will be the first to punish her.
Consort Jing's brows furrowed deeper and deeper as she asked Zhen Huan in a deep voice, "Sister, shall I report this matter to the Imperial Concubine and the Emperor on your behalf?"
Zhen Huan shook her head blankly, "No need. Aren't there enough unsolved cases in the palace? Even if they are exposed, they won't be found out. They'll just use a few palace maids and eunuchs as scapegoats."
Then the big problem was minimized and the small problem was resolved.
“Sister Jingfei, I have a request. Please do not reveal what happened today. Just tell others that Physician Zhou came to Suiyuxuan to treat Xiaoyunzi’s injuries.”
For a moment, Physician Zhou was speechless. Was Consort Zhen perhaps overstimulated and had lost her mind?
How dare a wicked eunuch serving a nobleman openly allow the imperial physician to treat him? Doesn't he fear another beating?
Moreover, he will definitely need to prescribe medicine for Consort Zhen later, and all of this needs to be recorded. If the person who did it is so interested, they can find out everything by simply asking someone to check the archives.
Physician Zhou was speechless, and Consort Jing wasn't much better off.
But she wasn't in the mood to care about any of that right now, and pretended she hadn't thought of it at all, readily agreeing.
"Don't worry, little sister, I won't say anything unnecessary."
Zhen Huan was truly at ease about this; Consort Jing was never one to meddle.
After seeing Consort Jing off, Pei'er returned to Zhen Huan's bedside: "Your Highness, what should we do now?"
Zhen Huan leaned weakly against the headboard, feeling not only physically weak but also mentally exhausted; a deep sense of weariness rose from the bottom of her heart.
Xiao Yunzi is injured, and Pei'er's abilities are limited.
Xiao Yunzi has always been the one who contacts Prince Guo's people. If we were to change the person abruptly, we don't know if something might go wrong.
Who handled those problematic clothes?
Zhen Huan didn't mention the ointment because she knew that Pei'er wouldn't be able to find anything useful.
After she gave birth, the midwife applied that medicine to her. The medicine she's using now is one that the midwife left behind.
Clearly, there was something wrong with both the medicine and the midwife, and it was prepared specifically for her.
Her premature birth was something no outsider could have predicted, yet the person behind it all had already prepared the people and things to harm her so early on.
There are very few people in the palace who have a grudge against her, want to kill her, and still have the ability to do whatever they want in the Imperial Household Department.
The Empress Dowager, the Empress, and Consort Hua are all just one of these three.
For a moment, Zhen Huan's face turned very ugly. The things she had made up to deceive Yun Xinluo, such as the Empress wanting to take her life, had actually come true in half of them!
Pei'er looked bewildered: "Replying to your question, mistress, those clothes were all sent to the laundry department to be washed. After being washed, dried, and ironed, they were sent back to our Suiyu Pavilion."
Why would she bother to care who washed or dried a piece of clothing?
Zhen Huan suddenly felt a lump in her throat, unable to swallow or swallow, and felt extremely uncomfortable.
If it were Xiao Yunzi, she would have already figured out what was going on.
"Since you don't know, why don't you go and check it out!"
This stuff is utterly useless!
Inside Zhongcui Palace, Xi Qiao and Yu Ying'er sat on the heated kang (a traditional heated platform bed), watching Xue Tuan, the clever little dog, lead the Sixth Prince around.
The sixth prince is already six months old and is incredibly adept at crawling and tumbling. However, he doesn't like crawling on the ground alone; he needs someone with him, and it has to be someone close to him.
Yu Ying'er didn't want to lose face, and neither did Xi Qiao.
So Xi Qiao had a sudden inspiration and sent someone to Shou Kang Palace to bring back the puppy Xue Tuan, who had eaten half of the Yi Zhi Dan (a traditional Chinese medicine pill for improving intelligence), under the pretext of taking care of the Empress Dowager who was bedridden.
Snowball is a beautiful and intelligent little dog who hasn't forgotten her former owner and greatest feeder. She's incredibly affectionate towards the two of them.
After understanding her mission, she used a little trick to win the heart of the Sixth Prince, making him completely devoted to her.
Here they are, a puppy and a dog playing together on the carpeted floor.
Right, their dynamic seems familiar, just like how Yu Ying'er used to tease Xue Tuan.
But now the relationship is reversed. Snowball's four short legs are tumbling around, circling around Little Six who has four tiny teeth showing. Little Six is currently fascinated by it and is also circling around with its hands and feet, trying to catch it.
Well—it's actually quite interesting.
Xi Qiao couldn't help but curl the corners of his lips as he watched.
The palace maids and eunuchs serving inside the hall also covered their mouths.
Yu Ying'er, the mother, laughed so hard she felt weak all over, leaning against the heated kang like she had no bones, while Qingzhu rubbed her belly with a helpless expression.
The atmosphere inside the hall was just right when Xiao Lezi suddenly came in from outside, her face grave. She told the servants inside to go outside and stand guard: "Your Highness, something terrible has happened."
Xi Qiao raised an eyebrow: "Over at Suiyu Pavilion?"
After Xiao Lezi returned and told her about what happened outside Yonghe Gate, she had a vague feeling that although Xiao Yunzi would suffer, Zhen Huan's chances of turning around had come.
Given Consort Jing's personality, she would certainly not stand idly by once Zhen Huan asked her for help. It is only natural that she would later discover that there were unclean things in Zhen Huan's palace.
Xiao Lezi nodded: "The Fujin is incredibly resourceful. In order to protect that dog servant Xiao Yunzi, Consort Zhen sent someone to ask Consort Jing for help. Not long after Consort Jing went to Suiyuxuan, she actually sent someone to the Imperial Hospital to invite Physician Zhou to come."
The Imperial Medical Academy gathered the best medical professionals in the Qing Dynasty; how could there be any quacks? The so-called lack of medical skills was nothing more than a self-protective excuse.
This Imperial Physician Zhou has a close relationship with Consort Jing and can be considered her confidant. Once he goes there, the tricks used in Suiyu Pavilion will surely be exposed.
Xiao Lezi looked at Xi Qiao with concern: "Fujin, we've done quite a bit of sabotage on Suiyuxuan."
Consort Jing has even used her own trusted confidants, which shows that she is determined to take charge of this matter.
Yu Ying'er's laughter stopped abruptly, and she sprang up from the heated pit like a startled bird, her face turning deathly pale with panic.
She rushed to Xi Qiao's side and grabbed her clothes, crying out, "Sister, what should we do?"
My sister is right. Every action leaves a trace.
The furniture that the Imperial Workshop found was one thing, but those refreshing things in the indoor green plants and soil were her doing!
If this gets found out, then...
Thinking of the consequences, Yu Ying'er shuddered.
Xi Qiao grasped her trembling hand, "Don't panic, Consort Jing wouldn't go to such lengths for Zhen Huan."
