Transmigration: Reverse Exploitation, the System Works for Me

Chapter 279 Useless

Not all the palace servants in Shou Kang Palace are necessarily loyal, but Fang Ruo is the most likely to have dealings with the Zhen family.

The Empress Dowager looked down at Fang Ruo: "The Zhen family has moved out of Suiyuxuan. Fang Ruo, do something for me. After it is done, I will entrust Princess Shou'an to you to raise."

Princess Shou'an, the emperor's adopted daughter, Ulanara Moyaqi.

Fangruo, that servant, is certainly hateful, but Yujiashi deserves to die even more!

Now that she has taken the position of Yinzhuo's primary consort, she should naturally go down and keep Yinzhuo company!

"I have seen and heard everything about Consort Wan's framing of the Empress and her association with you. But I can let it go, as long as you escort Consort Yu to her final resting place."

Fangruo's facial muscles twitched; she never imagined that the Empress Dowager would ask her to do this.

why?

Fangruo didn't understand.

It's clear that Princess Consort Mu is utterly loyal to the Empress Dowager!

"It's nothing but useless loyalty."

The Empress Dowager sneered. Yu Jia's loyalty was true, but it was a big mistake that Yu Jia's loyalty could not help her solve the problem!

Moreover, Lady Yujia was also loyal to Consort Zhuang and the Sixth Prince. Such loyalty, which was not unique to her, meant that Lady Yujia would not disregard everything for her.

However, Yu Jia's life still proved quite useful.

Since tenderness could no longer move the emperor and make him follow her wishes, she could only seize upon the emperor's weaknesses and make him feel guilty and powerless.

The Empress Dowager sat up with difficulty: "There is a secret compartment behind the bottom drawer of my dressing table. Inside is a drug that can arouse people without their knowledge. I want you to put it on the Emperor so that he will favor Yu Jia."

As long as Lady Yujia dies because of this, the emperor will never be able to hold his head high in front of her, Wuya Chengbi, for the rest of his life!

Fang Ruo exclaimed in shock, "Your Majesty the Empress Dowager!"

For a moment, she felt her heart pounding with fear.

What exactly does the Empress Dowager want to do?

If the only goal was to kill Princess Consort Mu, why resort to such a method that ruins her reputation, especially by having an affair with her own uncle?

Fangruo looked at the Empress Dowager's seemingly deranged state with heavy breathing, and in a daze, she felt as if she had fallen into an even deeper quagmire.

"Your Majesty, this servant..."

The Empress Dowager sneered and looked down at her, "Either you die, or she dies!"

There is absolutely no third possibility.

Fang Ruo said with difficulty, "This servant is willing."

Princess Shou'an had a difficult life, and the emperor had long hinted that he would choose a husband for her in the capital when she came of age.

Although the princess's status was not high, she had a rare advantage: everything around her, including the princess's residence after marriage, was decided by the head maid.

The emperor's decree ordering Zhen Huan to move back to Suiyu Pavilion quickly spread throughout the palace.

Upon hearing this, Yu Ying'er laughed so hard she collapsed against Xi Qiao.

She finally got her revenge!

While patting her back, Xi Qiao looked at Xiao Lezi and said, "Tell the people from the Zhen family not to contact you for the time being."

While in the Empress Dowager's palace, she keenly sensed that the Empress Dowager harbored murderous intent towards her.

Every time the old woman's gaze fell on her, she felt a chill run down her spine.

The Queen's predicament is difficult to break, but it may not be impossible.

That old hag probably has her eye on her.

However, Xi Qiao really couldn't imagine what that old hag would do.

This is undoubtedly disadvantageous to her.

But it is precisely in times like these that we must remain calm.

The arrangements made for Zhen Huan's side, in particular, must not be noticed by any outsiders, especially the Empress Dowager.

"Yes, I will pass the message on right away."

Xiao Lezi, hurry back and bring back the news that Fang Ruo has been kicked out of Shou Kang Palace and has gone to Sui Yu Xuan to become the head aunt.

Xi Qiao frowned: "When did this happen? I mean, how long after I left Shou Kang Palace did the Empress Dowager issue the decree?"

Xiao Lezi actually knew this: "Replying to Madam, it's been less than the time it takes to drink two cups of tea since you left Shou Kang Palace."

Something is wrong!

Xi Qiao stood up abruptly from the warm kang (heated brick bed).

That old hag Wuya shouldn't have kicked Fangruo out at this time!

She would tell Fangruo in the warm pavilion that she would help her leave Shou Kang Palace and go to Suiyu Pavilion, firstly to keep Fangruo calm, and secondly to plant a seed.

An Lingrong had already told the Empress Dowager about Zhen Huan framing Hui Chun. Given the Empress Dowager's temperament, she would definitely take Zhen Huan's life.

Later, she hinted to the Empress Dowager that Fangruo had been in contact with Zhen Huan. In addition to getting Fangruo to give up her position as head maid, she also wanted the Empress Dowager to keep an eye on Fangruo for the time being.

By using the people in Shou Kang Palace, they severed Zhen Huan's connection with Fang Ruo, leaving Zhen Huan completely isolated. Even after she discovered that she had been tricked, she had no way to seek help.

As for Fangruo, who can serve as a head maid in front of the emperor, her abilities are beyond doubt.

The Empress Dowager could not have been unaware of Fang Ruo's capabilities, nor could she have released Fang Ruo from Shou Kang Palace knowing that Fang Ruo was colluding with Zhen Huan.

Fangruo was made to provide assistance to Zhen Huan, thus becoming an obstacle for her to take Zhen Huan's life.

The best course of action would have been when Zhen Huan was terminally ill, beyond cure, and facing certain death.

The Empress Dowager, with her experience and wisdom, determined that Zhen Huan had been framed, and then appointed Fang Ruo, a knowledgeable woman from the imperial court, to investigate.

This would be both reasonable and would dispel the emperor's suspicions.

But the Empress Dowager is now in a hurry to kick Fangruo out!

Xi Qiao's brows furrowed more and more, making Xiao Lezi and Qingzhu tense as well. Yu Ying'er dared not disturb him and even held her breath.

My sister has always been so capable and able to handle anything; she has never seemed so troubled and uneasy as she is now.

Xi Qiao was indeed troubled, but not too uneasy.

She suddenly realized that one should not be too greedy.

If it weren't for her greed, wanting more and more, she wouldn't have uttered a single word to the Empress Dowager and Chunmao.

However, she did not regret it.

Having come this far, how could she possibly recoup all the effort and scheming she had put in, with interest, if she weren't greedy?

Without sufficient manpower and power, how could they possibly protect Yu Ying'er and her child, obtain firsthand information, and remain invincible?

No one understands the advantages and benefits of information asymmetry better than her.

Therefore, she has no regrets.

Xi Qiao glanced at the three people who looked unwell, exhaled a breath of stale air, and comforted them: "Don't panic, it's nothing serious."

But it's no small matter either.

All three of them knew the truth.

Xi Qiao sat down again, picked up the now-cold tea and took a big gulp. The icy liquid flowed down her throat and into her stomach, not only giving her a jolt but also clearing her mind considerably.
