Chapter 502: A Smelly Note
Of course, Concubine Xiao could not believe that there would be such a kind-hearted person in the harem.
Even if this is true, the other party's purpose is just to use her to deal with Empress Dowager Liu and the concubines of Duke Dingguo's Mansion.
Concubine Xiao’s first reaction was disbelief.
Because Concubine Liu just raised the third prince a few days ago, and this note appeared in her bedroom today, how do you know that the person behind the scenes is not plotting a sowing of dissension?
If she and Empress Dowager Liu fell out, would the Third Prince still have a good life with Concubine Liu? The other party's goal would be achieved!
She must not be fooled!
However...which woman in the harem is not suspicious?
If you are not suspicious, you would not be alive today, let alone climb to a high position.
Xiao Guiren, who is good at scheming, is even more suspicious than others.
She had already had some doubts in her heart. She was just pricked by a hairpin. Even if her heart meridian was injured, wouldn't it be fine after resting for a while? Why did her life span be so shortened?
However, Xiao Guiren secretly investigated for a long time and found no clues. Everything pointed to the fact that there was nothing wrong with the matter. She was in this situation because she was hurt by Zhou Shuren.
Now thinking back... the only one in the harem who could do things without anyone noticing was the Empress Dowager...
Concubine Liu has been unable to have children for a long time. Perhaps Empress Dowager Liu has been eyeing the third prince for a long time, so she has been secretly looking for an opportunity to get rid of her, so that Concubine Liu can have a prince and compete for the throne!
So... for Empress Dowager Liu, isn't it the best time for Concubine Zhou to take action against her?
When a person has the motivation and ability to do something, the suspicion on him will increase infinitely!
At this moment, Concubine Xiao felt a chill on her back!
It was in vain for her to boast of her extraordinary strategies, but the opponents she met were all reckless women who would attack her at the slightest disagreement, which was why she ended up getting hurt like this.
It was God who was unfair to her, not that she was incompetent.
She didn't expect that Empress Dowager Liu was much more cunning than she imagined!
No wonder the late emperor had so many concubines, but the one who had the last laugh was Empress Dowager Liu, who had no biological children. How could she have done it without powerful means?
Although there was no evidence and although she knew that the person who threw the note in had bad intentions, after a calm analysis, Concubine Xiao still believed most of the contents of the note.
So... who did this?
Concubine Xiao didn't think of checking the handwriting.
Because she knew that since the other party dared to throw this note in, it would be impossible to find any clues from the handwriting.
it's actually really easy.
Just see who will be the biggest beneficiary when she confronts Empress Dowager Liu and Imperial Concubine Liu!
Concubine Liang is very suspicious.
One reason was that she and Concubine Liu failed in the fight for custody. Even though she appeared gentle and generous on the surface, she must have been holding a grudge against this matter in her heart.
Secondly, Concubine Liang wanted to compete for the position of empress, and Concubine Liu was also a formidable opponent.
If Concubine Liang could use her to get rid of Concubine Liu, or inflict a blow to Empress Dowager Liu, then Concubine Liang's power would definitely be enhanced.
If she was luckier, Concubine Liu would lose custody of the Third Prince, and Concubine Liang would be able to take over naturally.
Moreover... she never does evil things herself, but only likes to kill people with someone else's knife. This is the usual style of the hypocritical Concubine Liang!
Of course, Concubine Xian is also a big suspect!
Concubine Xiao didn't believe it. Concubine Xian was the head of the four concubines, and the fourth prince she gave birth to was deeply loved by His Majesty. She had no ambition to covet the throne of Queen.
So for Concubine Xian, Concubine Liu is the biggest obstacle!
If she had a falling out with the people in Duke Dingguo's Mansion, causing the Third Prince to have a hard time, the Fourth Prince would also benefit from it.
These two are the ones who want to use her as a knife!
But even though she understands it, doesn't Concubine Xiao hate it?
She gave birth to His Majesty's eldest son and was promoted to the fourth concubine. She originally had a bright future.
If the third prince could ascend to the supreme position, she would be the most honorable woman in the Great Zhou Dynasty!
Even if she couldn't, the Third Prince would at least be a prince, and she would still be able to enjoy endless wealth and glory!
But now, she only has a few months left to live, and all her future is ruined!
Just to clear the obstacles for Concubine Liu and let her have a prince by her side, Empress Dowager Liu treated her so viciously!
Xiao Yueying would never swallow this!
Moreover, Qingdai was already dead, and there was no one to advise the Third Prince from now on. He was still so young, but was taken away by Concubine Liu to be raised. How could we know that he would not really recognize his enemy as his mother in the future?
If this is the case, I am afraid she will not be able to rest in peace even in her grave!
The more Concubine Xiao thought about it, the more excited she became, and she felt the familiar pain in her chest again.
The more pain she felt, the more hatred she felt towards Empress Dowager Liu!
If it weren't for that old hag, how could she have ended up in such a miserable state? !
The people from the Duke Dingguo's Mansion wanted to climb up by stepping on her corpse, but she would never allow it!
However... Concubine Xiao was angry, but she had not completely lost her mind.
The third prince has already boarded the ship of Duke Dingguo's Mansion. If Concubine Liu gets into trouble, he will not be in any good situation either.
Then... let her risk her life and use her last bit of strength to set up another plan. This would not only clear the obstacles for the Third Prince, but also allow her to vent her anger!
Concubine Xiao shouted hoarsely, "Li Cairong!"
Li Cairong had been waiting at the door of the bedroom. When she heard her call, she came in immediately: "My lady, what do you want?"
Concubine Xiao motioned her to close the door, then she lowered her voice and said angrily, "There is a eunuch who empties the toilet in Xinzheku. He is my servant. Find a way to pass a message to him and ask him to contact my cousin when he leaves the palace."
"I want to..."
Li Cairong is Xiao Guiren's cousin, who was recruited for her, so she naturally knows of his existence.
After hearing Xiao Guiren's instructions, Li Cairong was terrified: "My lady, what are you going to do?"
Concubine Xiao glared at her coldly: "Do I need to explain to you what I did? If you want your family outside the palace to survive, then just do as I tell you!"
Li Cairong didn't dare to disobey and lowered her head and said, "Yes..."
Concubine Xiao's strength was almost exhausted. After saying these words, she lay weakly on the bed again.
Xiao Yueying's life in this world was not in vain. Anyone who dares to plot against her life will be made to pay with blood!
……
Zhongcui Palace.
After Xiao Zhouzi finished this task, he came back to report: "…Don't worry, Madam, I have successfully thrown the note into Lady Xiao's bedroom. I have avoided the guards and was not discovered by anyone."
"And the words on the note...I wrote them with my feet. I'm sure no one will be able to find any clues from the handwriting."
Handan couldn't help but burst out laughing: "Xiao Zhouzi, you...you are really a talented person!"
Xiao Mingzi covered her nose and looked at him: "Did you wash your feet before writing? I'm afraid it's a smelly note."
