Chapter 921: What is something you cannot hear, but Concubine Chen can hear?
"How can this convince the public?"
"It's not fair to Lady Chun either."
Hearing Shen Zhinian's words, Wang Pin suddenly looked up at her with a bit of surprise in her eyes.
Did Concubine Chen believe Concubine Chun's eloquence and think that she really did these things?
Or did the other party actually notice something was going on, but still chose to favor Concubine Chun and deal with her?
If it was the latter, Wangpin didn't understand why Concubine Chen did this?
Concubine Chun still had a look of aggrieved on her face, her slightly red eyes looked particularly pitiful, but she sneered in her heart.
Concubine Chen's choice was also within her expectations.
Because she knew that in the eyes of these women in the harem, she was just a foreign tribute and would never have the possibility of rising to the top. In this case, under such circumstances, Concubine Chen would of course give priority to dealing with Concubine Wang.
Therefore, she had already calculated that Wangpin would not have a good ending today!
Nangong Xuanyu sat on the dragon chair, looking at Shen Zhinian with an extremely gentle look, and said in a calm voice: "What Concubine Chen said makes sense."
After all, Shen Zhinian was the victim in this incident. If she believed what Wang Pin said and insisted on investigating the matter, it would be difficult for the emperor to close the case hastily.
By then, even if he found out that Xin'er was instructed by Concubine Chun, he would not be able to maximize his benefits. After all, he now had to deal with the Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
However, every time, Nian Nian seemed to understand his heart and made the same choice as him.
How could the emperor not be happy about this?
Concubine Wang's heart couldn't stop falling, and she looked at Concubine Chun with eyes full of hatred.
It's all because of this bitch!
They had lived in the same palace for so long, but she had never realized how cunning this bitch was!
Thinking of the look that Concubine Chun gave His Royal Highness Prince Jin at the eldest princess' fifth birthday banquet, which was full of inexplicable ambiguity, Concubine Wang felt more and more that perhaps this matter was instigated by His Royal Highness Prince Jin in order to alienate the relationship between His Majesty and the Duke Dingguo's Mansion!
However, Wangpin thought about this in her heart but did not dare to say it out loud.
Because she knows that the thing a man hates most is being cuckolded by his own woman.
Regardless of whether Concubine Chun is favored or not, she is a concubine in the harem and His Majesty's woman.
And His Royal Highness the Prince of Jin is His Majesty's younger brother.
If she accused the two of having an affair without any evidence, I'm afraid His Majesty would be furious, and she would be charged with an even greater crime...
Thinking of this, Concubine Wang swallowed all the words that were about to come out of her mouth, feeling unwilling in her heart.
She would never just sit there and wait for death!
Fortunately, although Concubine Chun was cunning, she was not a pushover and had already made a backup plan before coming.
Calculating the time, it should be almost done.
As expected, Xiao Huizi hurried in from outside and announced, "Your Majesty, Xiao Tianzi, who is beside Concubine Wang, wants to see you. He said that the Third Prince is crying and making a fuss in Yikun Palace..."
When the Third Prince was mentioned, Nangong Xuanyu frowned, and a hint of nervousness flashed in his eyes: "What's going on?"
"Send him in!"
Xiao Huizi bent over and said, "Yes."
After Xiao Tianzi came in, he bowed respectfully and said, "Your Majesty, I pay my respects to you!"
"Greetings to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Chen and Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine Wang!"
"Meet the Lady Chun!"
Nangong Xuanyu asked in a deep voice: "Why did the Third Prince suddenly start crying and making a fuss? Is it because those of you who serve him are not attentive enough?"
Xiao Tianzi knelt on the ground, terrified and said, "Your Majesty, I am wronged!"
"No one in Yikun Palace dares not to do their best to take care of the Third Prince. But ever since the Queen has been raising the Third Prince, she has done many things herself, and the Third Prince is extremely dependent on the Queen. I guess he hasn't seen the Queen for a long time, so he started crying..."
Wangpin's eyes were slightly red, and an anxious look appeared on her face: "A Jing..."
Nangong Xuanyu was silent for a moment.
Although he wanted to start with Concubine Wang and take action against Duke Dingguo's Mansion, the emperor had no intention of executing or abandoning Concubine Wang.
It’s for the sake of the third prince.
No matter what kind of person Wangpin was, she was indeed very good to the Third Prince. At least she was much more attentive than Liu was when she raised the Third Prince.
The third prince was the Tang child that Jiang Wange mentioned. The emperor already felt pity for him and naturally hoped that he would live a peaceful life.
Just for this reason, the emperor was willing to give Wangpin a chance to turn from evil to good, but he didn't know whether she would do it or not.
Thinking of this, Nangong Xuanyu looked at Concubine Chun and slowed down his tone and said, "Since this matter has nothing to do with you, you can go back first."
Chun Guiren still had tears on her face: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your keen insight!"
"But Madam Wang slandered me for no reason, and I suffered such an undeserved disaster..."
Nangong Xuanyu concealed the impatience in his eyes and said calmly: "Don't worry, I will give you an explanation for this matter."
Concubine Chun knew that if she continued to pester him, it would only annoy him, so she lowered her head and said softly, "Of course I believe Your Majesty."
"I'll take my leave!"
Then she stood up and left the Yangxin Palace.
Along the way, Concubine Chun seemed to be thinking about something.
After returning to Shuixi Pavilion, Yingchun heard Concubine Chun tell her what happened in the palace and asked in confusion, "My lady, why did His Majesty let you come back immediately after hearing that the Third Prince was crying?"
"In their eyes, you are the victim framed by Concubine Wang. Why didn't His Majesty punish Concubine Wang in front of you? This would be considered justice for you."
Concubine Chun sneered, "Why else? It's because the Third Prince is still young, can't leave his mother, and is so dependent on Concubine Wang."
"He has a tragic fate. He has already had two different mothers at such a young age. The princess is the third one. Your Majesty naturally does not want to trouble the third prince any more."
"Oh! No wonder everyone in the palace says that no matter how favored a concubine is, it is just a superficial appearance. The only way is to have an heir!"
"Look, doesn't the concubine regard the third prince as a talisman?"
She had planned so much. If it weren't for the Third Prince, Princess Wang would have definitely died this time!
Hearing this, Yingxiang's eyes were full of worry: "Young Master, what should we do?"
"After all we have done, is it possible that we still can't even hurt the princess's fur?"
"Since your majesty values the Third Prince so much, the Princess Wang, as his mother, will definitely take revenge on us when she recovers!"
Concubine Chun was not worried. She leaned back in her chair and said slowly, "You think too much."
"Your Majesty wants to get rid of Duke Dingguo's mansion, so how could he allow Concubine Wang to become so powerful? And he will not let her take advantage of the Third Prince."
Yingxiang breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good!"
Then, she was a little dissatisfied: "Your Majesty actually only let you come back, and left Concubine Chen in the Yangxin Palace. Is there anything that you can't listen to, but Concubine Chen can listen to?"
Concubine Chun did not show any anger on her face: "If not, why do people say that Concubine Chen is the most favored concubine in the six palaces?"
