Chapter 124 I Know
The Fifth Lady suddenly looked up with a trace of panic on her face, "Father, please forgive me," until all her calculations were seen through, "I know I am guilty, but I feel wronged. I just want you to show me some respect. You can favor any princess, even if it's just one of yours, but why do you keep stepping on my face? How can I convince everyone in the backyard?"
The Fifth Lady looked at Kangxi, her eyes no longer able to conceal her resentment, "Father, it's not that I can't understand why the Fifth Master likes Liu Jia, and I never complain about it. Why does Liu Jia make her own mistakes and still blame me? The Fifth Master is being unfair."
"Have you told the fifth master about your grievances?" Kangxi just glanced at the fifth lady and asked lightly.
The Fifth Lady's expression froze, "My daughter-in-law just... just doesn't want to continue to annoy the Fifth Master."
"Old Five has explained to you why he went to Liu Jia's place on the first and fifteenth day of the lunar month," Kangxi looked at the Fifth Lady with an unusually sharp gaze, "Even if Old Five's reason was wrong, did you ever refute it? You didn't, Old Five stayed in the main courtyard for three days after each visit."
Kangxi stared at the Fifth Lady's expression, "You don't blame the Fifth Lady for favoring Liu Jia, but who plotted against Hongsheng to cause Guaerjia to have a miscarriage? As for Hetala, I am not interested in the Fifth Lady's backyard, and I don't want to ask too much. There are many greedy people, but they must have the strength to match."
"I won't inquire too much about your grievances and resentments. You and the fifth master should resolve the issue between yourselves. I only ask... do you want peace and quiet? If so, I will give you peace and quiet," Kangxi glanced at the somewhat panicked Fifth Lady. No resentment?
How can I not blame him? He is just looking for excuses for his own actions. His methods are not weak at all, and he pairs well with Lao Wu.
"My daughter-in-law wants the power to manage affairs," the Fifth Lady knew that if she didn't say it, she might not have another chance. Since the Emperor came to her, it meant that she still had a chance.
"I hope that the Fifth Lady will not have any more miscarriages in the harem," Kangxi looked at the Fifth Lady, "and that the Fifth Lady will have many children."
"I promise that there will be no more miscarriages in the backyard. As long as I take charge of the affairs, the Fifth Master will have many children and be blessed with many wealth," said the Fifth Lady with a firm look on her face. She understood why the Emperor came to her. He was not here to blame her, but to warn her to stop.
Although she had not expected this, she had made the right bet, and now she had completely escaped the trap!
"Remember your words. Come, send the Fifth Lady back," Kangxi watched Tala leave, "return to the palace."
The Fifth Lady returned to her room and lay on the bed. She realized that she was sweating all over and her legs and feet were weak. "Mammy, I succeeded. This time I really succeeded!"
Yu Jin lay on the bed, looking at her master worriedly, "Master, but if something happens in the backyard in the future, what if the emperor blames us?"
"The Empress Dowager's people are not pushovers. If our people join forces with the Empress Dowager's people, can't we manage a prince's backyard?" The Fifth Lady regained her strength and calmed down. Her face was different from the gentle one before. Now there was a hint of sharpness on her face and her eyes were no longer gentle, as if she had retreated from the past.
"My third sister-in-law scolded me for being stupid. Did she think I should attack the Fifth Master?" The Fifth Lady smiled softly, with a dark look in her eyes. "How stupid am I to attack a Beile? I want to satisfy my momentary pleasure and hurt not only myself but also the Tara clan."
"It's just like this. I'm sorry for the master." Yu Jin didn't care about anything else. She just felt bad about being the master in her own home.
"Why do you feel wronged? Ma'am, I couldn't be a concubine because of my family background, but I did become one. Although I had the power of housekeeper before, I didn't have real power. Now I finally have real power. So what if I no longer have the favor of the Fifth Master? Only with power can I be permanent, and only with this can I help the Tara family better." The Fifth Concubine's eyes were sharp but clear. After sitting up, she held Ma'am Yujin's hand.
"I'm sorry to have worried you, Madam. I'm not wronged. Now I'm the sufferer. When I take charge of the backyard in the future and all the concubines in the backyard survive, my reputation will be completely established. In the future, the women of the Hetala clan will be promoted to a higher rank, and the people they marry will definitely be better than the current ones," Fifth Lady's eyes were filled with tears. "The contributions of the Hetala clan's children will not be replaced by others. It's just that I need to suffer a little for a period of time from now on, but what's the harm?"
"Mammy, when we go to the palace, no matter who makes things difficult for us, we have to endure it," Fifth Lady patted Mammy's hand and slowly exhaled, "I don't want to bring disaster to his Tara clan. I hope to bring glory and hope to the clan members and sisters."
The Fifth Lady closed her eyes. This was all she had planned. When she was planning it, she knew that there was no possibility between her and the Fifth Master because the lives of Liu Jia and her son were between them. Now her hands were stained with blood and she had no way out.
She... has no regrets. Now that she no longer has love, she must seize power and must not implicate the Tala clan.
Yu Jin felt even more distressed. In this way, all the grievances were due to her master. Yu Jin was really unfair for her master, but when she thought about it carefully, this seemed to be the best outcome.
After returning to the Qianqing Palace, Kangxi sighed and said, "Go and report to the Empress Dowager." His eyes were deep. The Empress Dowager knew what to do.
In the Cining Palace, after hearing the report, the Queen Mother waited for the others to leave and leaned on Hana, "Let the people left by the Queen Mother... do it!" Hongsheng, that child...
"Master, do you really want it?" Han Xu, the chief eunuch of Cining Palace, was a little surprised. "Hongsheng is the eldest son of the Fifth Prince. What if the Fifth Prince knew about this?"
"How could he not know?" The Queen Mother's voice was a little hoarse, "How could Yinqi not know? But he knew that the one who did it was Khorchin's people!"
This is the emperor's plan, an open conspiracy. Yinqi knows about it and will not blame him now, but what about in the future?
The rift between Yinqi and Korchin will become wider and wider. This is the emperor's open plan. He also has a secret plan, which is to test himself and make him choose between Korchin and Yinqi. I'm afraid Yinqi can guess this test.
Now everyone is staring at her. In the end, this disaster will befall this old woman. She knows that her mother's tribe is Khorchin, so she has to side with Khorchin.
But... that was the child she raised, and the Empress Dowager still chose Yinqi, "With Yinqi here, with Aijia and Concubine Xuan here, Korchin... will not suffer."
That night, the lanterns in Yikun Palace were not extinguished...
That night, the Fifth Prince's Mansion seemed as bright as day...
That night, Yinzhen and Wen Yao slept soundly and were unaware of this matter.
The next morning, Yinlu came and Wen Yao found out. After all, Yinlu and Yinyi had already gone to court. Wen Yao was eating breakfast while Yinlu sat opposite her, drinking porridge. After listening to Yinlu's words, Wen Yao looked at Xiaochun and asked, "Did Hongsheng die of a serious illness last night?"
