Chapter 347 - Empress Dowager’s Plans in Cining Palace (2/2)

No matter what would happen, she had to protect Hao’er as he was the only bloodline left from her older sister. In her memory, her older sister was always gentle and Bai Yihao’s gentle eyes reminded her of her older sister, making her impossible to resist him. “Go, give it to Hao’er! If you are late, he will be gone! Don’t make me worried!”

“Yes, Princess!” Seeing the determination in Princess Royal’s eyes, Nanny Qin knew that any persuasion would be useless. She took the jade piece and turned away, teary.

It was at the imperial palace.

It was at Cining Palace.

Empress Dowager was sitting in her bed looking well. She had just drunk her medicine and was a little tired. Waving her hand, the servants and eunuchs knew that Empress Dowager wanted to rest and retreated. The last one carefully closed her door and stood at a place two steps away from the door.

The position was perfect!

If Empress Dowager wanted to call for him, she only needed to raise her voice. If she was talking to someone, he could not hear what she said clearly.

“Has King Ning arrived in Yan Kingdom yet?” In the vast and empty hall, only lead eunuch Yu was by the side of Empress Dowager. He had been beaten a few days ago and was still limping. Hearing Empress Dowager’s question, he hurried over and answered quietly.

“His Royal Highness King Ning had arrived in Yan Kingdom, returning to our country soon. Please rest a.s.sured, Empress Dowager.”

“Well, when Zhen’er enters the palace, let the Emperor order for him to marry the second miss from General Manor. She is pretty and has a good personality. If she is true to Zhen’er, it will not be difficult for him to obtain that position.” Empress Dowager nodded satisfyingly.

“Empress Dowager, what about the w.a.n.g family?” Eunuch Yu asked respectfully.

w.a.n.g Xiuxiu and King Ning had been having affairs for a long while, even bringing their affairs to fruition. They had originally wanted to bring w.a.n.g Xiuxiu in as the second consort of King Ning, with the child in her heart to pacify the w.a.n.g family. Even though the second miss of Luo family was now the proper wife of King Ning, a son that Feng Yuzhen liked would propel w.a.n.g Xiuxiu to a high position in the palace once the matter had been completed.

Then, it would be just a simple order to get rid of Luo Mingzhu.

Therefore, even if they were not to grant w.a.n.g family the position of proper wife, they would not say anything about it.

However, the situation was different now. w.a.n.g Xiuxiu was now carried into King Yan’s manor, making the matter more confusing!

“Later, let someone go to Grand Secretariat w.a.n.g to inform him that I said this. When King Ning returned, he would marry the second miss of w.a.n.g family as a second consort. If w.a.n.g Xiuxiu does give birth to a child, the child will be under the name of the second miss of the w.a.n.g family. Tell him to rest a.s.sured that with Zhen’er’s ability, this matter can be easily accomplished.”

With a daughter married to King Yan and another married to King Ning, it would seem that King Yan was in favor as the elder proper daughter married King Yan. However, the child in the womb of this proper elder daughter belonged to King Ning. She believed that the Grand Secretariat w.a.n.g would be clear about who he should support. Empress Dowager promised to bring the child over to King Yan. She spoke nothing about the mother but implied that King Ning would settle her business.

With the power of King Ning, it would not be hard for him to protect a woman!

At that instance, both of the daughters would belong to King Ning, and Empress Dowager was sure that Grand Secretariat w.a.n.g would be clear about the situation and knew who he should support.

“Yes, I shall send someone to explain to him.” Eunuch Yu nodded and retreated, limping.

“Did Consort Yu came today?” Empress Dowager stopped his retreat.

“Madame Consort Yu came once today. However, she didn’t disturb you when she knew you were resting. She promised to be back again later.” Eunuch Yu replied.

Ever since Consort Yu was released from the Cold Palace, she always came to pay respects to the Empress Dowager every morning and night and was even more diligent than the Empress. She was never late, coming regardless of rain or s.h.i.+ne. Even the Emperor praised her filial piety and her gracefulness, stating her as a model for all in the harem to learn. She was well rewarded and was doted by the Emperor even more so before she was banished to the Cold Palace. Furthermore, the child in her womb propelled her to become the most doted consort in the palace, even more doted than Consort Zhao.

“Treat her well when she comes over later. Wake me up if I fall asleep as I have something to talk to her about.” Empress Dowager explained slowly, a cold sly smile flas.h.i.+ng across her eyes. “I hope that Consort Yu can make me more pleased this time.”

“Yes, I understand!”
