Chapter 258 The Emperor is Reasonable
The Queen cannot gain any advantage in this matter. Nanny Zhang is already Linglong's wet nurse. She should bring Linglong up well. When Linglong gets married in the future, Nanny Zhang will be the most respected servant around Linglong.
Besides, since he loves Linglong so much, Linglong will definitely marry a good man in the future.
If she follows Linglong as a dowry, she will be the head nanny of a mansion in the future, and she will still have face outside the palace. Even Aunt Zhuxi, who is beside the empress dowager, cannot ask for such a good thing.
The future is bright and the future is just around the corner. How could Nanny Zhang give up the tangible benefits in front of her and join the Queen?
This really doesn't make sense.
So that person can only be the empress dowager or the emperor.
It's the Emperor! It must be the Emperor!
It was the Emperor who asked Nanny Zhang to deliberately guide Concubine Xin to hint that he should adopt the Fourth Prince.
That time, when Xin Changzai came to Yikun Palace to complain about how difficult the Fourth Prince's life was, I had a vague bad feeling about it. However, I was led astray by Xin Changzai at that time and did not think about my strange feeling.
Some time ago, the Emperor also came to him and mentioned the Fourth Prince.
The Emperor once tried to test the purpose of his kindness towards the Fourth Prince.
At that time, the emperor wanted to support the Nian family, but she did not accept the position of imperial concubine awarded by the emperor. However, the emperor did not give up and changed his approach.
It's the emperor. No matter how the Nian family hides their shortcomings or avoids the spotlight in this life, the emperor still cares.
He cared about his brother's contributions and the praises of the people in the northwest for his brother.
Everyone knows General Nian, but few know that the emperor is another example of someone who is more powerful than his master.
The emperor will never tolerate anyone who is more successful than him.
Even if she and the Nian family were extremely respectful and courteous, and were extremely humble and modest, the emperor would still not be pleased.
Since he had no reason to punish him, the emperor was naturally furious.
Even if you don't want it, the emperor insists that you have it, no matter how reluctant you are.
In that case, then whatever the emperor wants to give to the Nian family, you can take it.
So after Concubine Hua sent away Concubine Qi, Concubine Jing and Shen Meizhuang that day, she wrote a secret letter to her brother, telling him the Emperor's hidden thoughts.
The future direction of the Nian family will be decided by my brother, and I will definitely find a way to stand by the Nian family.
But why should I withdraw?
I have lived my life again, why should the Nian family and I retreat?
Concubine Hua pondered over the matter again and again, and the more she thought about it, the more difficult it seemed to her how to deal with Nanny Zhang. If this person was really the emperor, then if she detained Nanny Zhang, it would be clear that she was in the emperor's sight.
That night, in order to confirm her thoughts, Concubine Hua went to see Nanny Zhang again. After several attempts, she was sure that it was undoubtedly the emperor.
The only people who could save someone from his hands were the Empress Dowager and the Emperor.
If the Empress Dowager guided her to adopt the Fourth Prince, then it must have been the Emperor's idea, just like the bowl of pregnancy-preserving medicine given to Concubine Duan back then, which was a conspiracy between mother and son.
If the Empress Dowager did it, it must have been instructed by the Emperor.
But now it seems that the nanny beside Linglong has disappeared for such a long time, and the empress dowager still has not made any movement in the palace. It seems that the emperor did not even tell the empress dowager about this matter.
The mother and son became separated because of Yixiu.
Concubine Hua picked up a cherry and put it in her mouth, sneering. Songzhi was also afraid watching from the side.
When Concubine Hua realized this, she became troubled about how to deal with the situation with Nanny Zhang.
It would be impossible for this person to pretend that he knew nothing and let it go.
In order to expose Nanny Zhang's true colors that night, Linglong, Concubine Xin and the palace maid on night duty in Yikun Palace all knew that Nanny Zhang had committed a crime.
But if he killed Nanny Zhang directly, it would undoubtedly tell the Emperor that he knew there was someone behind Nanny Zhang and that he knew about this.
Then the emperor will definitely speed up his actions against the Nian family.
Wait a minute, the emperor may not speed up the handling of the Nian family.
Hua Fei, who had not slept all night, still felt that there was a fragment that was not complete in this matter.
Concubine Hua always felt that even if she killed Nanny Zhang, it would only increase the emperor's suspicion, and it did not mean that everything between her and the emperor was completely open.
The emperor may not know that what he knows in his heart is that it was Nanny Zhang who led Concubine Xin to persuade him to adopt the Fourth Prince.
After all, it was because of the pretext that Nanny Zhang deliberately raised Linglong to be useless that she was arrested by herself.
That night, Concubine Hua really felt that this incident had ruined her clever brain.
Concubine Hua could never understand why the Emperor wanted Nanny Zhang to deliberately make Linglong useless?
Concubine Hua thought about it for a long time but couldn't find a reason. After all, Linglong was cute and well-behaved, and the emperor valued his own children the most. Even when the Fourth Prince was placed in the Old Summer Palace, he hired a master to teach him his lessons.
The emperor had few children, so he loved even his daughters.
Or maybe, there is more than just the emperor behind this nanny.
Someone just took advantage of the emperor and took advantage of Nanny Zhang, but this person must have a grudge against me.
That night, thinking of this, Concubine Hua felt that she could fall asleep.
There are only a few people who want to make things difficult for me. I will just need to let Zhou Ninghai investigate the whereabouts of those people the next day.
When Concubine Hua recalled this point, she happily turned a page of the storybook. Songzhi saw clearly that the queen was turning the pages from the back to the front.
The Empress's reading skills are becoming more and more refined.
Concubine Hua remembered that early in the morning of the second day after Concubine Qi and others came, Concubine Hua asked Zhou Ninghai to find out who Nanny Zhang had been close to recently.
However, by noon, Zhou Ninghai had found out the general situation and came to Concubine Hua to report.
There were only a few people who had much contact with Aunt Zhang, and they were all the little palace maids around Linglong or the palace servants around Xinchang.
But some time ago, the three ghosts who had not appeared for a long time saw that Nanny Zhang went in and out of Qixiang Palace more often.
Lipin of Qixiang Palace regards Xin Changzai as her mortal enemy who has usurped the throne. It is not impossible for Lipin to take action against Linglong.
Not to mention Ling Xiang, who tried to infect Linglong with the plague last time.
Ling Xiang attacked Linglong just to make him unhappy. She wanted Linglong to be infected with the epidemic and to make him lose his beloved daughter.
As for who had the evil idea and did it, it doesn’t matter. Concubine Hua should thank them.
If they hadn't been messing around, she might not have discovered the Emperor's secret actions against her.
Since everyone in Qixiang Palace is the Queen's people, let the Queen take the blame.
So, the news that Xia Qian, who sneaked into Yikun Palace a few days ago and met with Nanny Zhang, brought to the emperor was naturally that the Queen was ruthless and wanted to make Linglong a waste because Linglong offended her with her rude words.
It doesn’t matter whether the reason is reasonable or not. What matters is whether the emperor believes it or not.
Everything the emperor believes is reasonable, and the emperor is reasonable.
