Qingli smiled and said, "All of Luo Fei's men went to protect Zhao Yi, who was exiled to the southwest. Before she died, she only left a few men for her daughter. They were all mediocre. Zhao Yi was in dire straits and was ready to use those men. It would be convenient for us to help her. She has to trust her, right?"
Wei Ying nodded and continued, "She has no choice, but her foolish behavior is exactly the same as her mother and brother's. Fortunately, we don't have to worry about her life or death anymore. What should we do next?"
Qingli did not deny that the first reaction of a princess who found out that she was poisoned and dying was to have someone sneak into Chen Ba's residence and kill the couple.
When he found out that he had no assassin and there were several guards in Chen Ba's residence and he could not kill Chen Ba secretly, he decided to set up a Hongmen Banquet, wait for Zhu Yuanwu to come back, poison him with a glass of poisoned wine, and then burn him to death with his son, so that the Zhu family would have no descendants.
When Qingli heard the informant's report, she quickly ordered people to stop the Ninth Princess. Even if she dragged Zhu Yuanwu to death with her, the Eleventh Princess was hiding behind her, and Concubine Tian would be fine.
Besides, if she died, why would she drag the baby with her? As the legitimate grandson of Marquis Anping, her son would be held in the palm of his hand as a treasure by his grandfather, Marquis Anping, even if there were rumors.
If the Ninth Princess had not refused, Marquis Anping would have taken his grandson to raise himself. It is impossible for such a caring person to not value his grandson after being disappointed with his son.
The Ninth Princess, on the other hand, was thinking of dying with her son, leaving Zhu Yuanwu without any descendants. Wouldn't that be a good deal for Chen Ba? She was pregnant with a posthumous child, and if she gave birth to a son, he would surely be taken in by the Marquis of Anping and become the next heir to the Marquisate.
Of course, the most important thing was that Qingli felt that Zhu Yuanwu was not so easily fooled. He had already poisoned his wife and had become enemies on the surface. How could he dare to dine with her? Wasn't that a bit too bold?
If the Ninth Princess died directly in the harem, wouldn't she be of no use at all?
So Qingli had no choice but to guide the Ninth Princess.
"Don't do anything. Let's see how the palace fights."
"Do we really want to support Zhao Jing's ascension to the throne? He is listed as a princess in the imperial royal book, so his ascension to the throne is not legitimate, so it may take some effort."
Qingli shook her head: "We don't need to support him. Everything depends on His Majesty's wishes. If His Majesty is willing, he will overcome all difficulties."
Zhao Jing is not her son, so she doesn't need to make plans for him.
To put it bluntly, if Concubine Jia and the Emperor could not protect Zhao Jing, then it would be Zhao Jing's bad luck.
She also has a way to prevent Concubine Tian and Zhao Yu from being proud in the future.
Wei Ying nodded and said, "Madam is right, we just need to follow His Majesty's wishes." The fighting in the palace was indeed fierce.
As expected, Concubine Jia was found to have been poisoned. Originally, both the Queen and Concubine Tian were suspects, but since the Queen was also poisoned, Concubine Tian became even more suspicious.
Although the matter was finally left unresolved, the emperor became wary of Concubine Tian. A woman who was once weak and submissive now had the ability to poison Concubine Jia and the Queen. It was truly terrifying. What if Concubine Tian poisoned him for the sake of her son?
The emperor found many doctors to treat Concubine Jia and the Queen, but unfortunately, Concubine Jia's poison had penetrated deep into her bone marrow and she didn't have much time left. The Queen's poison was not as deep and was easier to cure.
While the queen was recuperating, she sent people to visit Concubine Jia, saying only that she felt sorry for her sister Concubine Jia's suffering. Their relationship improved a lot, and the emperor did not stop her.
During this period, the emperor was keen on favoring new concubines. Occasionally, he discovered that the concubines he had neglected in the past had their own charm, so he would visit them again. In one month, he actually went to Concubine Tian once. Even when Concubine Tian was sick, he only went to sit for a while and left soon.
Concubine Tian has always kept a low profile and cried out for justice, but the emperor's actions were inconsistent with his words. He believed Concubine Tian and told her not to think too much, but he rarely visited her, shirking the blame of being busy with government affairs.
Concubine Tian was ill for two months and gradually recovered because Zhao Yu was going to get married in half a month and she could not continue to be ill.
