Chapter 309: I Want Her to Die Nanxi Shows Kindness
"Madam..." Nanny Yang wanted to say something, but Shi Nanxi raised her hand to stop her. She looked at him dimly and said:
"No need to say, I know it. It seems that there is someone hiding behind the so-called adultery, and we didn't notice it."
Hongying's eyes widened. She was not stupid and her brain was working fast. She quickly understood what was going on and she could no longer remain calm.
"Your Highness, are you saying that the person behind this is the Empress Defei?"
Shi Nanxi didn't say anything. Although there was no evidence, she was not surprised at all that the person behind the scenes who attempted to reap the benefits was Concubine De.
From the beginning of her re-election, Concubine De seemed to be the one with the least conflicts with her among all the high-ranking concubines, but her appearance actually damaged the other party's interests.
She didn't believe that Concubine De didn't hate her, a person who was granted the title of concubine at the beginning and enjoyed the special favor of a noble concubine. It's just that Concubine De never took action, but when she did, it was a thundering blow.
Just like the scene where she caught an adulterer in public at Mulan Paddock, she used the same tactics against them and not only prevented Wusu and Hesheli Shuren from succeeding in their conspiracy, but she also retaliated against them and exposed their conspiracy in one fell swoop, ultimately ruining their reputations and bringing disgrace upon themselves.
But if there was any mistake in the middle, Shi Nanxi would most likely never recover in her life. Even so, she still didn't realize that there was someone behind the incident, enough to use Concubine De's means.
Nanny Yang's face also looked unhappy. She also remembered the series of conspiracies that Mulan had encountered in the hunting grounds. She was so scared that she broke out in a cold sweat.
"Your Majesty, it is my fault that I failed to do my duty. I was not careful enough and did not find out the real mastermind behind this. Please punish me, Your Majesty."
Nanny Yang pursed her lips into a straight line, took a step forward, and knelt down neatly to apologize. Seeing this, Hongying also knelt down.
Shi Nanxi pinched her eyebrows, closed her eyes, and when she opened them again, a hint of fierceness flashed across her usually soft and moist almond-shaped eyes.
"It's not your fault. I didn't notice anything unusual about that incident. Besides, who said that Concubine Wu was the mastermind behind that adultery scene?"
She snorted coldly.
Hongying raised her head in astonishment when she heard this.
Blurt out:
"What do you mean, Madam? If the mastermind behind this isn't Concubine Wu, then Concubine Hui is deliberately trying to deceive us today?"
Nanny Yang's brows suddenly twitched, and Shi Nanxi's mouth corners curled up in a sarcastic arc.
"No, what I mean is that the conspiracy was not only about Concubine Wu, but also Concubine Guo Luoluo. It's just that after Concubine Guo Luoluo planned to catch the adulterer, Concubine Wu secretly plotted against her. Concubine Wu originally wanted to kill three birds with one stone, but she didn't expect that I had already known about the conspiracy in advance and used the same trick against her."
"What?" Hongying's eyes not only widened, but her mouth also opened so wide that a boiled egg could fit in.
Shi Nanxi glanced at Nanny Yang who seemed to be in deep thought, then gently lowered her eyelids and asked the two of them to get up.
Nanny Yang stood up. She had always been wise and intelligent, so she didn't react at first. But after hearing what the Empress said, she finally understood.
His expression quickly returned to calm.
"Your Highness is right. It is not difficult to tell from Concubine Hui's words that Concubine Guo Luoluo had found out at some point that the mastermind behind the scheme against Guo Luoluo Jirgalang and Tong Jia Wanru was Concubine Wu. In order to retaliate, she revealed to the Emperor that Concubine Wu had schemed against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Concubine Shi."
Nanny Yang said calmly:
"When it came to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, the Emperor was furious, so he used the excuse of impropriety in front of the Emperor to severely punish Concubine Wu."
After speaking, she paused and urged with a frown:
"Mammy hasn't mentioned the connection between Concubine Guo Luoluo and Concubine Wu and the adultery incident."
Nanny Yang glanced at the Empress.
"The reason why Concubine Guo Luoluo was plotted against by Concubine Wu during the selection was because she was betrayed by the servant of Concubine Guo Luoluo who led Guo Luoluo Jierhalang. At that time, Guo Luoluo Jierhalang was almost deceived by the servant of Concubine Guo Luoluo at Mulan Paddock. Don't you think they are very similar?"
"Princess Wu used similar means to frame Concubine Guo Luoluo, so why wouldn't she use the same means to frame Concubine Guo Luoluo again, such as replacing the original adulterer with Concubine Guo Luoluo's nephew Guo Luoluo Jirgalang?"
Then he said:
"And, if I remember correctly, when the adultery was caught, Concubine Guo Luolu was the only one among the high-ranking concubines who did not speak. But the queen resented her deeply. Didn't you see that Concubine Niuhulu was so gloating and impatient when she saw the queen being falsely accused of adultery, but Concubine Guo Luolu kept a low profile and didn't say a word..."
Shi Nanxi then continued what Yang Ma said:
"I don't believe that Concubine Guo Luoluo is tolerant and generous. She is in a good mood and doesn't want to add insult to injury. The so-called abnormality is a demon. Concubine Guo Luoluo probably didn't want to attract attention at that time. You see, the occasion was so chaotic, who among us noticed her abnormality, oh..."
She added:
"It was only Concubine Hui who was close to Concubine Guo Luoluo at that time. She noticed some clues and in order to sow discord between me and Concubine Guo Luoluo, she took her guess as the truth and came to hint to me. Otherwise, I would still be kept in the dark. But Concubine Hui had bad intentions, and I will not thank her."
Another thing to say: if you get the chance, definitely step on it.
After that, the room fell into silence.
Finally, Hongying couldn't help but speak first:
"I thought the matter of catching the adulterer was over, but now I know that the two behind-the-scenes culprits, Concubine Guo Luoluo and Concubine Wu, are still at large. But Concubine Hui deliberately reminded Your Majesty today. I'm afraid she has bad intentions and wants to sit on the mountain and watch the fight!"
How could Shi Nanxi not know? A hint of coldness flashed in her eyes. Concubine Hui wanted to use her as a gun, but why should she be obedient?
Shi Nanxi also knows how to use someone else's force to defeat someone else, and kill someone with someone else's knife. Thinking of this, she curled her lips slightly and ordered:
"My birthday banquet is coming soon. I am in a very good mood. I will kindly tell Concubine Wu the reason why the emperor is so angry. I am really kind."
Concubine Hui wanted to muddy the waters and make her charge into battle, so she muddied the waters even more. She believed that the future winner in the harem would not be so easily defeated.
As for Concubine Hui herself, Shi Nanxi supported her forehead with one hand, and the corners of her mouth curled up when she thought of her deeply hidden jealous eyes.
As long as she steps hard on Concubine Hui, she will not be able to bear it. When people are in chaos, there will be more flaws.
Nanny Yang and Hongying looked at each other and nodded excitedly. At this time, Shi Nanxi remembered something and reminded:
"We can put this matter aside for later. Don't forget that the most important thing for us now is to deal with the common people of Hesheli. Has he taken the bait?"
Upon hearing this, Nanny Yang's expression returned to normal.
"Don't worry, madam. She has already learned about the Imperial Household Department making imperial concubine's wedding dress for you. She is really upset. According to Xiao Muzi's report, she wants you dead now. But she is just a commoner now. With Nanny Shang watching over her, she can't do anything. She became more and more crazy, and finally took the bait under Xiao Muzi's intentional or unintentional guidance."
"Very good, the bait has been taken, and I am waiting for the harvest. This time, I want Hesheli Shuren to die!"
Shi Nanxi's tone was light, but it was filled with chilling coldness and murderous intent.
On the other side, in the Yonghe Palace, in the Buddhist hall, Concubine Wu was kneeling in plain clothes before the Buddha, copying Buddhist scriptures. There was silence all around.
"My lady, this time it was my fault that I was careless and the emperor discovered the clues, causing you to be exposed. Please punish me."
Madam Cui knelt on the ground and kowtowed to apologize. Guilt and self-blame were about to swallow her up. Then she thought of something and raised her head fiercely:
"My queen, there must be a traitor in our Yonghe Palace. When I find them, I will tear them into pieces."
