"Your Majesty, what you mean is, except for Yang?" Chu Yun whispered.
The queen had a cold face and lowered her eyes slightly, "We have to find a suitable way to get rid of her, otherwise it will easily arouse the Queen Mother's suspicion."
Chu Yun thought about it and said, "Why not find a mistake to punish Yang? If she is beaten with a stick and injured, she will naturally get sick. If no one takes care of her, she may die of the disease."
It is so easy to make someone make a mistake.
"Since you have an idea, I'll leave this matter to you." The queen curled the corners of her lips and looked at Chu Yun with more and more satisfaction.
Chu Yun also acted quickly. The next day, Yang was punished by the Queen with twenty strokes of the cane for not taking good care of the eldest prince's clothes, causing the eldest prince to wear clothes that were crawled by spiders and caused red bumps all over his back.
Of course, she was not the only one to be punished. Everyone who took care of the eldest prince was also punished.
But Yang was the managing nanny of the eldest prince, so she was given twenty strokes of the cane, while others were given ten.
Although it was only twenty strokes of the board, the eunuch who carried out the execution was very ruthless. After two strokes of the board, Yang begged for mercy.
But she didn't have time to shout anything, her mouth was blocked.
After being beaten with twenty boards, his back was covered with flesh and he passed out.
How could she serve the eldest prince like this? So she was sent away alone to rest.
If she is said to be a person, then she is a person and no one cares about her.
The Queen Mother and Ning Chen knew that the Queen had punished the servant, but since it was Yang who was at fault first, they didn't say anything.
Soon, Mrs. Yang's wound became inflamed and festered, and she died within a few days.
The position of the maid in charge of the eldest prince became vacant, so Chu Yun took the opportunity to fill it.
Jiaotang Garden.
Upon hearing that the Queen had lost another servant, and that he was someone close to the eldest prince, Ye Jun became even more certain that the eldest prince was not well taken care of by Hui Zhaorong because someone must have deliberately used some tricks.
"Please accompany me to go to Hui Zhaorong's place." Ye Jun stood up.
Huiyue looked outside and said, "It's cloudy today, so it's not sunny. Should Shunyi go in the sedan chair or on foot?"
Ye Jun thought for a moment and said, "Let's go on foot and take the Fourth Prince with us. The Second Princess likes to play with him."
You have to find a reason to go out, and taking the kids out to play is a great excuse.
But I didn't expect to meet Ning Chen when I went out.
Also with Ning Chen is Wan Meiren.
Ye Jun saluted Ning Chen first.
Finally, Lady Wan bowed to her according to the rules.
After a lot of red tape, Ning Chen finally spoke up, "Where are you taking the Fourth Prince?"
"I'm planning to take the Fourth Prince to Hui Zhaorong's place to play with the Second Princess. This child is very noisy." Ye Jun smiled, "Where is the Emperor going?"
I don't know what he is doing with a pregnant woman who is just over three months pregnant.
Ning Chen didn't say anything at this time, but Lady Wan spoke first.
"I was too bored staying in the house to take care of my pregnancy some time ago, so today I asked the emperor to take me to the lake to enjoy the lotus. I happened to meet Ming Shunyi, why don't we go together?"
Although it was an invitation, it always had a sense of showing off.
But today Ye Jun didn't want to deal with her, he just smiled and said, "It's rare that the emperor has time to accompany Lady Wan, so I won't go."
She didn't want to get involved, but Ning Chen felt a sense of grievance when he heard these words.
Even when Ye Jun saw him and Wan walking together just now, he felt a little panicked.
So he took the initiative to say, "Since you are not going to the lake, why don't you go to Hui Zhaorong's place quickly? Although there is no sun today, it is still hot outside. I will go to see you in the evening."
Ye Jun glanced at Ning Chen, guessing that he had misunderstood.
But I feel good because I am being protected.
With a faint smile, "Okay, then I'll ask someone to prepare a few more dishes that the emperor likes, and I won't disturb Lady Wan from touring the lake for now."
After he finished speaking, he bowed and left.
Wan felt very uncomfortable, as the second half of the sentence made it seem as if she was the only one boating on the lake, and as if the emperor had already left with Ye Jun.
But when she looked at the emperor again at this moment, her mind was indeed half drawn away.
Fortunately, the person did not leave. Wan Meiren could only comfort herself in this way.
She was also feeling very aggrieved, with a baby in her belly, and she didn't seem to be any special in front of Ming Shunyi.
Ye Jun didn't care what she thought. He was going to Hui Zhaorong to remind her to screen everyone around her again.
If there really was something wrong with Yang, she had stayed in Yongning Palace for a while, and what if she had instigated other people to rebel
Always be prepared.
What Ye Jun didn't know was that what happened today with Ning Chen and Lady Wan had become another version when it reached the Queen's ears.
"The person who came said that he saw it clearly. Ming Shunyi brought the Fourth Prince out and happened to meet the Emperor accompanying Concubine Wan on a boat trip. In my opinion, it is impossible for such a coincidence to happen. It is likely that Ming Shunyi deliberately tried to intercept them, but who knew that he failed in the end. In order to save face, he had to go to Concubine Hui instead."
Chu Yun made tea for the queen while recounting the whole story in vivid detail.
Su'e beside her frowned, "But hasn't the emperor always favored Ming Shunyi the most? He even took her out of the palace alone some time ago."
"The emperor used to favor Concubine Wen An, but she was eventually surpassed by Ming Shunyi. Can't Ming Shunyi be surpassed by Lady Wan?" Suqin retorted.
After she said this, everyone fell silent.
After a while, the queen spoke in a low voice, "One Ye is enough, and if there is another Wan, I'm afraid the harem will be in turmoil."
"But Miss Wan is already pregnant, and her family background is good, this..." Chu Yun acted in a dilemma at the right time.
Suqin immediately responded, "You can be pregnant or not. Your Majesty, why don't you think of a way to kill two birds with one stone and get rid of Ming Shunyi and Wan Meiren at the same time."
But as soon as she finished speaking, Su'e objected.
"Madame Dante used to always tell you to stop harming the heirs in the harem. The more children you have, the more they will fight and get hurt. You should just protect your legitimate son and raise him well. Why bother touching others? The emperor has always valued his heirs. What will happen if you are found out?"
"What Madam said makes sense, but look, there are more and more children in the harem. If we don't take action to suppress it, by the time the Empress gives birth to a legitimate son, the princes in front will have grown up and have their own power. How can we fight against them?" Suqin said.
In fact, these words were not thought up by her. Chu Yun had deliberately approached her these days, pretending to chat with her, and instilled them into her little by little.
It will come into play when the time comes.
In the end, the queen was finally moved by Suqin's words.
She didn't want to see another uncontrollable concubine in the harem.
As for how to kill two birds with one stone and how to arrange it, it is not difficult. As long as people have this idea, they will be extra careful to seize every opportunity.
