Chapter 206 Another secret
Xiao Mo didn't expect that it would be so easy to drive Zhou Wuwei away from Ye Jintang. He looked at him in a good mood.
"Wuwei, from now on in the South Camp you must obey General Ding in everything. The South Camp is not like the palace. If you make a mistake you will be severely punished."
"I will definitely not let you down."
The two looked at each other, and they both knew very well what the word disappointment meant.
The Nan Daying martial arts competition is very lively every year. This year, Zhou Wuwei, a dark horse, has emerged. Many people will mention the process of the Nan Daying martial arts competition in their casual conversation.
When talking about Zhou Wuwei, Xiao Yi is naturally indispensable.
No one expected that the King of Qi, who once loved to linger in places of fireworks, could actually make it into the top four in the South Camp competition. It was really not easy.
After the competition in Nan Daying, Xiao Yi managed to restore some of his reputation.
But for Imperial Noble Consort Dehui, this little reputation meant nothing.
"Is this Zhou Wuwei really just an errand boy for Ye Jintang?"
Imperial Noble Consort Dehui was a little bit unconvinced. She knew Ye Jintang's background best. None of the maids, servants and guards serving her had a good background. How could a martial arts genius like Zhou Wuwei suddenly appear?
"Replying to the Imperial Concubine, I have already asked someone to conduct a thorough investigation. Zhou Wuwei is indeed just an ordinary servant, and he was bought from the government."
"Is this possible? Any slave Ye Jintang buys is a martial arts genius. What good luck is this?"
"Che Xiang, go check again. The people around Ye Jintang suddenly know medical skills. I always feel that this matter is suspicious."
"Yes, I will send someone to check it out right away."
"Also, send someone to keep an eye on Prince Qi's mansion. Ye Yanran will be giving birth soon, and we must not let her cause any trouble at this critical moment."
"Yes."
Since Xiao Yi did not win first place in the competition in the South Camp, naturally he could not become famous in a short period of time and gain a good reputation for himself. Thinking of this, Noble Consort Dehui felt powerless all over.
She has been cultivating Xiao Yi carefully, but after so many years, Xiao Yi is neither good at literature nor martial arts, and his reputation in the capital is not particularly good, which makes Imperial Noble Consort Dehui very depressed.
Even though Emperor Jing didn't like attending court or reviewing memorials, he was not stupid. If Xiao Yi continued like this, even if she had a thousand abilities, she would not be able to make Emperor Jing appoint Xiao Yi as the crown prince.
He must achieve some political achievements to let Emperor Jing know that he is not useless.
"Xiaojiu, why didn't you come earlier? If you were a few years older, your mother wouldn't be so troubled."
Unfortunately, the Ninth Prince is only a few months old, and it will take many years to support him as the Crown Prince. It is hard to say whether Emperor Jing can live that long.
Thinking of this, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui could not help but sigh. Xiao Yi was definitely here to collect a debt. She had put so much thought into making him the crown prince and inherit the throne, but he didn't appreciate it and always caused trouble for him. She never had a day without worries.
Now that her plan to get close to Ding Xinji has failed, Imperial Noble Consort Dehui is feeling even more depressed.
She secretly thought in her heart that if Ding Xinji liked Zhou Wuwei very much, regardless of whether Zhou Wuwei was Xiao Mo or not, she must get rid of him to prevent future troubles.
Imperial Noble Consort Dehui could not find out Zhou Wuwei's identity, and Ding Xinji did not find any problems either.
I have to say that Wen Ziqiu did a very good job in this matter.
After July, the summer in Beijing becomes like a steamer.
Ye Jintang and Xiao Mo were enjoying the cool air in Yingchun Pavilion.
Ye Jintang is becoming less and less willing to go out. She leans on the couch, eats iced fruit, and looks at the beautiful scenery outside the window. She is in a very good mood. Such a leisurely day is what she wants.
Since Zhou Wuwei, her errand boy, was no longer by her side, many things temporarily fell on Gu Wan'er.
Although she is only a few years older than Ye Jintang, she is very good at combing her hair and walking around outside.
Whether it was the rouge shop or some issues at Bencaotang, she did a great job.
"I never thought that my cousin actually had the talent for business. She was always trapped in the backyard before, which was a waste of her talent."
"Yes, with Madam Gu by your side to help you, you won't be so tired."
Without the annoying Zhou Wuwei, Xiao Mo praised Gu Wan'er a lot. He felt more at ease knowing that the woman was with Ye Jintang.
Xiao Mo handed a piece of cut peach to Ye Jintang and spoke slowly.
"Wuwei won the competition, and our Bencaotang business is so hot. I don't know if Imperial Noble Consort Dehui can still sit still."
"It's hard to say. I feel that Imperial Noble Consort Dehui is not someone who can swallow her anger. Maybe she is already secretly preparing to assassinate us."
"I feel the same way. Recently, I asked Shi Bin to send someone to keep an eye on the palace. If there is any movement there, I should be able to get some information."
Xiao Mo wanted to stay here and chat with Ye Jintang, but he was called away by Jiang Heng not long after. The production of the Thunderbolt bombs was almost done, so he had to go and inspect the goods in person.
As soon as Xiao Mo left, Nanny Liu came hurriedly.
"Your Majesty, there is news coming from the Prince Qi's Palace. The Prince Qi and the Princess Qi had a big fight over the issue of favoring a concubine. The Prince Qi has announced that he will marry his concubine Liu Congyun into the palace soon."
Ye Jintang thought that it seemed that Xiao Yi was really poisoned and had been following Ye Yanran's arrangements. Now that the poison was removed, he was a rebellious person and would not behave himself for a moment. He immediately wanted to make trouble for Ye Yanran. Thinking of this, Ye Yanran was really pitiful. She could have lived a carefree life, but she fell in love with Xiao Yi.
Thinking of how Ye Yanran killed Xiao Yi step by step in the middle and late stages of the original novel, Ye Jintang couldn't help but sigh that love is a double-edged sword. When you love someone, you love them to death, and when you are cruel, you wish to cut the other person into pieces.
When the two first met, Xiao Yi was very charming and suave, and loved to say sweet words, so Ye Yanran must have loved him very much.
But after Xiao Yi hurt her again and again, she gradually became disappointed in him and finally killed him.
"Whose family is Concubine Liu? Why haven't I heard of her before?"
"She is a concubine of the Prince of Changping. I heard that she is extremely beautiful. She was favored by Imperial Noble Consort Dehui from the beginning. It's just that Imperial Noble Consort Dehui mentioned it to the Prince of Qi before, but the Prince of Qi always refused to let Consort Liu enter the palace on the grounds that the Princess of Qi had just entered the palace."
"I don't know why this time, but they suddenly agreed to let Concubine Liu enter the palace."
Ye Jintang never expected that Prince Changping's concubine would become Xiao Yi's concubine. In the original novel, Ye Yanran was very capable. No concubine entered the mansion before and after she gave birth to the child. Even if there were two concubines later, none of them was like Liu Congyun.
Could it be that Noble Consort Dehui had a bad relationship with Xiao Yi some time ago, and she heard that Xiao Yi and Ye Yanran had a quarrel, so she deliberately arranged this?
You have to know that the Danyang Marquis' Mansion and the Changping Prince's Mansion have always been at odds. How could Ye Yanran feel good about Liu Congyun marrying into the Qi Prince's Mansion?
She was so angry that she wanted to cut Liu Congyun into pieces immediately to vent her anger.
Moreover, Liu Congyun came from a high family background, so Ye Yanran had to give her some respect in the palace.
Her presence will make it difficult for Ye Yanran to take a step in Prince Qi's mansion.
