Chapter 404: Seizing the Opportunity to Seize Power
The group finally arrived at the Yikun Palace. The maid at the door walked towards them and said, "Crown Princess, I will go and report this to you right away."
"Okay, I'm done."
After a while, the maid came out and let her in.
After entering, she saw Concubine Wang half lying on the bed drinking medicine.
"Good health to the Imperial Concubine, and long live the Crown Princess."
"Stand up, please. I heard that you also invited the imperial physician this morning. Why didn't you rest for a while? Why did you come all the way here? Come and sit down." After drinking the medicine, Concubine Wang wiped the corners of her mouth with a handkerchief, and said with some weakness.
"To answer your question, Your Majesty, I just haven't gotten enough sleep these days. It's nothing serious. It's good for me to go out for a walk. But have you been feeling better these days?" Hu Shanxiang raised her head and took a good look. Concubine Wang's face was pale and she didn't look very well. Her voice was also a little weak.
Concubine Wang smiled at her and said, "I'm much better now. But you have to take care of the children. You can't get sick. You must take good care of yourself."
"I understand, Your Majesty. You too, when I first came here, I saw that the Princess of the County had also come. They all care about you. You should get up quickly, too." Hu Shanxiang mentioned casually.
When the Crown Princess heard this, her face immediately turned bad, "I get angry when I talk about this. The same goes for the Princess Consort. It is according to the rules for her to enter the palace, but she brought Sun here. It doesn't look like she is here to care about the queen. I'm afraid she is here to gather information." The Crown Princess did not have the slightest favorable impression on Sun Ruoji. Every time she saw her, she was not only cold but also had no good face. However, because Sun was only a concubine, they did not have many opportunities to meet, so there was no direct conflict.
"Okay, don't be angry. Even if she comes, I'm fine. What can she do?" Concubine Wang advised.
"I just don't like her. Forget it." The Crown Princess didn't want to say more.
“Compared to her, there is another person who is eyeing the Yikun Palace covetously?” Concubine Wang suddenly became serious.
"Your Majesty is saying," the Crown Princess looked at Hu Shanxiang, then thought, since the Imperial Concubine has said it, she is not going to hide it, and continued, "I didn't realize that Imperial Concubine Zhang is someone who likes to show off before, but it's Concubine Li who usually doesn't get along with Your Majesty. I didn't expect that she would jump out first this time."
"As the saying goes, a barking dog never bites. It looks like nothing happened normally. But when I got sick, I took action immediately. This is what a ruthless character does." Concubine Wang took a long breath.
"The Queen will be well again in a few days, just let her jump around on her own." The Crown Princess was fearless.
"Your Highness, let me interrupt you. There are only thieves who commit crimes every day, but there is no one who guards against thieves every day. Since Concubine Zhang has shown signs, why don't you take advantage of her? After all, if she does nothing, we won't be able to find out anything. But if she does something, it is impossible for her to leave no trace. There will always be some clues. What do you think?"
Concubine Wang and the Crown Princess looked at each other and saw surprise in each other's eyes.
"Shan Xiang, what you said makes sense." Concubine Wang immediately expressed her opinion.
"And since you think Concubine Sun is here to gather information, why not take advantage of her..." Hu Shanxiang looked at the people around her.
"Don't worry, these are all trustworthy people." Concubine Wang motioned for her to continue.
"The situation is unclear now, so why don't we just go along with them and see what they really want to do."
