"According to the preliminary investigation results of my subordinates, when the Ming family fell, they handed over some of their hidden personnel to Princess Cheng when they left the imperial city. Their intentions are still unknown."
The Ming family was wiped out just like the Liang Mansion before, with the exception of some married-out daughters who were lucky enough to escape. Among them, the two who married the "best" were naturally the former virtuous concubine in the palace, and then Ming Zhixin, who replaced Ming Zeyue and married Prince Cheng.
However, after the Ming family was gone, these two people naturally had a very difficult time. Concubine Xian used to have a high position and her family was powerful. Her son surpassed other princes and became the most popular candidate for the throne. She made countless enemies, and once she fell and lost her position as a concubine, there were many people in the harem who took advantage of her and stepped on her whenever they got the chance.
When Ming Zhixin first got married, she was rejected by Prince Cheng. However, she managed to hold on tenaciously, which was quite remarkable. Later, she became pregnant at the "right" time. The Prince Cheng's mansion was in a mess, and there were few children. This child became Ming Zhixin's life-saving talisman. Although there were many twists and turns in the process, she was able to give birth to the child safely in the end.
Now, there is only this one son in Prince Cheng's mansion, and none of the other concubines can live to see the birth of the child.
Once or twice, it might be the result of other people's fights, but in the end, everyone had the same fate, so it was hard not to doubt Ming Zhixin. However, she was weak, had no family, her husband was completely unreliable, and there was no one around her to use. How could she attack others? But if it wasn't her, she was lucky enough to avoid it every time when others attacked her.
Some things were so puzzling that the other women in Prince Cheng's Mansion thought she was a little weird, and they all unconsciously restrained themselves a lot, and even avoided Ming Zhixin.
Now, the Kaiping Guards have traced the case to her, so naturally some of Ming Zhixin's actions against other women in Prince Cheng's Mansion have been dug up. Before they get all the information, the grown men of the Kaiping Guards couldn't help but feel their scalps tingling and their backs chilled. This woman was really cruel and ruthless. She looked so weak, but anyone who had a fixed conflict with her would be retaliated against. Some died, some were disabled, and some were sick. The dead and some were disabled were naturally servants. Although the women of Prince Cheng were not killed, it was very normal for them to have accidents or become seriously ill.
But I also know what Ming Zhixin's "all-powerful" means.
All the horrific things Ming Zhixin had done were laid out in front of Wei Tingyu. Because of a word from others, Ming Zhixin could hold a grudge and retaliate fiercely. So it was natural for her to hate Xiaocao. After all, it was not the first time that she had a grudge against Xiaocao. Originally, from an outsider's point of view, it really didn't matter. But with Ming Zhixin's character, Xiaocao and she were like blood enemies, so it didn't seem strange that she would plot against her again and again.
Wei Tingyu narrowed his eyes slightly, and his look was extremely terrifying. The people from Kaiping Guards couldn't help but stiffen their bodies when they saw him.
However, Wei Tingyu did not lose his mind. After he finished reading it all, he lowered his eyes quietly, as if thinking about something. After about a cup of tea, his finger gently tapped the secret letter, "What a short-sighted person."
In fact, Ming Zhixin's character and the things she did were, to a certain extent, quite admirable. However, all her methods and the people under her were used to settle her personal grudges. If she had focused on the overall situation and planned for King Cheng, she would have been able to change her position in King Cheng's heart.
To be honest, Prince Cheng is mediocre in ability. Judging from the information Wei Tingyu has received so far, he is far inferior to Ming Zhixin in terms of brains and strategies. If Ming Zhixin has that intention, when Prince Cheng succeeds in the future, she will turn around and sideline him, and become the queen who rules the country from behind the curtain. Will she need to scheme against those who have grudges against her and whom she dislikes? With just one word, many people are willing to become the knife in her hand.
Of course, this is probably just a fantasy. Even if there were a few more people like Ming Zhixin around Prince Cheng, he still wouldn't be able to accomplish anything. Or maybe Ming Zhixin also understood this point, so she didn't assist Prince Cheng and used her manpower on private matters.
"Keep watching this woman, and make sure to find out everything she has done and all her subordinates." Wei Tingyu said in a cold tone, "Also, keep an eye on Prince Cheng, and check the people around him carefully."
The Ming family got into trouble because of Prince Heng. At that time, Prince Heng could not protect himself and was under close surveillance. It was naturally impossible for the Ming family to hand over the last manpower to Prince Heng, and it was also impossible to contact the Ming family girls in the palace. So it seemed barely reasonable to hand it over to Ming Zhixin, who was non-threatening and had no sense of existence.
However, since they still had this trick up their sleeve, they were naturally thinking about a day of reversal. At that time, Ming Zhixin was only a teenager, and she probably didn't show much intelligence, otherwise, the old fox of the Ming family wouldn't have married her to King Cheng so easily. And after she got married, the Ming family would have no way of knowing about her ability problems. So, when the Ming family handed over the man, the real candidate might not be Ming Zhixin.
