Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

Although Xiao Lezi said that, he actually knew very well that his wife was also involved in this matter.

The princess consort acted cleverly, and to this day, no one has noticed anything amiss.

"After the Fujin gave the young master Yu Zhui to the old lady, she had our people send a false message to Consort Wan: the Fujin wanted to form a marriage alliance with the Ulanara family."

“Consort Wan feared that with our help, the Empress would be even harder to shake, so she orchestrated that scene in front of the warm pavilion in the Imperial Garden that day. Unfortunately, Consort Qian’s maid Baoque witnessed the whole process and clearly saw that it was Consort Wan who framed Huichun.”

However, this magpie is actually one of their people.

Xiao Lezi smiled subtly, but there was no need to tell his mistress these things.

Qingzhu raised an eyebrow slightly. She knew that her mistress had placed people in almost every palace, especially in the places of Consort Jin, Consort Wan, and Noble Lady Qian, where there would be no fewer than three people.

She didn't know who these people on her side were.

These people are almost all in Xiao Lezi's hands.

The wife clearly defined the roles of herself and Xiao Lezi: one was responsible for internal affairs, and the other for external affairs. Their division of labor and responsibilities were clear, and they were both very satisfied with this arrangement.

Xiao Lezi winked at Qingzhu, and Qingzhu immediately understood that this magpie must be one of their own.

"That day, Huichun was taken to the Shenxing Division by that dog servant Xiaoyunzi. As for what information Huichun revealed that was detrimental to the Empress, this servant did not dare to inquire."

No, he inquired about it, but he couldn't tell the Empress.

They also have people in the Shenxing Division, and more than one. One of them was among those who interrogated Huichun that day, though that person was ostensibly from Prince Guo's faction.

That was a brilliant move by the Princess Consort!

It's a pity that Su Peisheng personally interrogated everyone else in Jingren Palace, but he really didn't dare to inquire about this one, and couldn't find out anything.

"Wow~" Yu Ying'er couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

"Why do I feel like these things are happening in a different world from mine?"

These calculations are completely different from her life and the style of their Zhongcui Palace!

Xiao Lezi and Qingzhu laughed at the same time: "Your Majesty, what do you think the Fujin and this servant are busy with every day?"

Yu Ying'er stopped talking. Okay, she knew it was all because her sister had protected her very well.

Cheng Qiangong

The Fourth Prince's knees were numb with pain, and he was shivering from the cold. His exposed skin was all purple and blue from the cold, but he gritted his teeth and endured it, neither begging for mercy nor pretending to faint.

He had figured it out: that bitch Zhen had deliberately provoked him and was using it as a way to punish him.

If he faints, that vile woman will surely call the imperial physician. Once the physician arrives, the story of how he insulted that vile woman today will spread far and wide, and his reputation will suffer even more.

He can't let that bitch get away with it!

The Fourth Prince struggled to hold on until, half an hour later, Zhen Huan, wearing a thick cloak and carrying an exquisite hand warmer, walked out of the main hall.

Standing before the Fourth Prince, she looked down at him, thoroughly enjoying his pathetic state as he sneezed and cried from the cold, and then said with pity and sympathy:

"Hongli, although you have no affection for your mother, I will still teach you with all my heart, and try to remove the bad traits brought about by your lowly bloodline as soon as possible, so that you can become a qualified royal prince."

It looked like they were giving leftovers to stray cats and dogs on the street.

Hongli struggled to lift his eyes and looked at Zhen Huan's malicious gaze. Suddenly, he smiled at her and said, "Son, thank you for your teachings, Mother."

Zhen Huan gave a bored snort: "Help the prince up. Is the bath ready?"

"Your Majesty, rest assured, everything is ready. The prince can take a bath as soon as he gets back."

Zhen Huan said in a condescending tone, "Then let's send the prince back. Let him soak in a warm bath and warm himself up, so he doesn't fall ill."

"Yes."

The Fourth Prince was carried back to the inner palace by two eunuchs.

"Your Highness, please don't blame Her Majesty for punishing you. Look how spacious this back hall is! Her Majesty specially allocated it to you because she was afraid you would feel wronged. All the furnishings inside are of the finest quality; I guarantee you'll like them."

Many of the pieces of furniture in this rear hall are made of sandalwood, which the Empress moved from Suiyuxuan. She herself was reluctant to use them and specially asked them to be placed here with the prince.

The Fourth Prince didn't speak; he was so cold that his teeth were chattering.

Charcoal braziers had already been lit in the rear hall, making it warm and cozy as soon as you entered. After soaking in the warm bath, the Fourth Prince's body quickly warmed up and he no longer felt cold.

But as the chill faded and the warmth enveloped him, the injury on his knee immediately began to ache as if pricked by needles.

The Fourth Prince was helped to bed by the palace servants. Immediately, a young palace maid brought him a box of ointment: "Your Highness, this is ointment for treating injuries. I will apply it to you, and the pain will subside soon."

The young palace maid kept her head down as she spoke.

The Fourth Prince didn't notice this scene; he simply gestured to the palace maid to quickly apply medicine to his knee, as it was really hurting too much.

The pain did lessen somewhat after the cooling ointment was applied.

At this moment, another eunuch brought over a bowl of dark, murky medicine: "Your Highness, this is medicine that Her Majesty specially ordered from the Imperial Hospital for you. Please take it as soon as possible to avoid catching a cold."

The Fourth Prince glanced at the medicine with a cold smile. That bitch Zhen really didn't dare to let anything happen to him, so she could only use some petty tricks to torment him!

He reached out, picked up the medicine bowl, and drank it all in one gulp. After finishing, he tossed the bowl to the eunuch and looked up, his gaze falling on the furnishings in the room.

A carved and openwork screen made of rosewood.

Rosewood four-door wardrobe with cloud and narcissus patterns.

A full-length mirror with a rosewood frame.

There are also antique display shelves, tall flower stands, and dressing tables made of rosewood.

Almost everything within sight in the room is made of rosewood furniture, while the ornaments are mostly brightly colored enamelware.

The Fourth Prince frowned. Although these things were old, they were still rare and valuable items. That vile woman Zhen was so generous in giving them to him.

There must be something fishy going on here!

"Move all this furniture out of here!"

Hongli looked at the eunuch standing to the side with a gloomy expression.

The eunuch bowed and said, "Please forgive me, Your Highness. Her Majesty has already given instructions that nothing in Your Highness's room should be moved. Even if something is broken or rotten, it should be left here."

The Fourth Prince's expression immediately changed, and he grabbed a pillow and threw it at him, yelling, "You dog servant, get out!"

The eunuch dared not dodge, but fortunately it was just a soft pillow, so it didn't hurt when it hit his head.

"Yes, yes, this servant takes his leave."

Hongli was panting heavily, his eyes filled with a sinister look as he stared at the furniture in the bedroom, a hint of fear creeping into his eyes.

These things will kill him!

He has to find a way to destroy it!

With a creak, the tightly closed door of the palace was pushed open from the outside.
