Chapter 256: Seeking the Skin of a Tiger, Be Careful
"It seems that you still want to give birth to the prince's child. Once you give birth to his child, you will think about making plans for your own child. At that time, your heart will involuntarily turn towards the prince. Will you still obey my orders? You are just a chess piece in my hand. What you should do most is to be obedient!" Concubine Luo said coldly.
"Please have mercy, Your Majesty!" Liao Yunfei cried.
Suddenly, she got up and ran out.
"Someone, bring her back to me and pour the medicine into her. Don't leave even a drop!"
"Yes!"
The entire bowl of medicine was poured into Liao Yunfei's mouth, not giving her any chance to struggle. She collapsed on the ground with tears on her face, her heart filled with despair.
"Liao Yunfei, today I have cut off all your thoughts. Don't resent me. I am trying to clear your worries! Be loyal to me, and I will never treat you unfairly in the future! How capable can a prince of Huaiyang Palace be? His title was not granted by the emperor. It may be gone in an instant! Do you still want to become a commoner with him?"
Liao Yunfei came back to her senses, got up and knelt in front of Concubine Luo, "Thank you, Concubine. I was stupid and didn't understand. After your guidance, I suddenly understood everything."
The best thing to do now is to express your position quickly and eliminate Concubine Luo's suspicion.
If she goes against Concubine Luo, she will be the one who suffers.
"Okay, let's go down."
"Yes." Liao Yunfei retreated like a wandering soul.
She was at a loss and didn't know what to do.
……
The princess brought Ji Chuhe into the palace to formally bid farewell to the Queen Mother.
"Princess, Madam Crown Prince, and the Queen Mother may have been exhausted from the birthday banquet. I already know what the princess and Madam Crown Prince mean to you. Please kneel down and greet them."
The Queen Mother didn't want to see these two people, so she avoided them on purpose to embarrass them.
"Yes, I will not bother the Queen Mother any more. May the Queen Mother be in good health! I will take my leave." The princess still abided by the rules.
As soon as they left the Queen Mother's palace, the Queen sent someone to tell them that she wanted to see the Princess and Ji Chuhe.
The princess and Ji Chuhe hurried to the queen's palace.
When the two arrived, the queen was already waiting for them.
"Your Majesty the Queen is greeted." The princess and Ji Chuhe stepped forward together to pay their respects.
"No need to be polite, just sit down." The Queen raised her hand with a smile.
"Thank you, Queen."
The princess and Ji Chuhe sat below the queen.
"Princess, when are you planning to return to Huaiyang?" asked the Queen.
"We will set out the day after tomorrow."
"Fortunately, I have already had the prince's residence prepared. Princess can go and see the prince's residence before leaving the imperial capital. This way, you can feel more at ease."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." The princess's face was full of emotion.
"Once the prince's residence is settled, it will be time to marry Liao Yunfei. At that time, I will also send someone to help the prince's wife to manage it."
"Thank you for your concern, Your Majesty." The princess still looked very touched.
"There is one more thing. I also heard it from the palace people. Yesterday, Imperial Concubine Luo came to me and took Liao Yunfei away, saying that she wanted to help train her. Who knew that Imperial Concubine Luo actually prepared a bowl of red soup for Liao Yunfei."
Red soup is an adjective because the medicinal soup is red, as red as blood.
"The imperial concubine actually killed Liao Yunfei's offspring?" Ji Chuhe asked in surprise.
"She has always behaved erratically, and the emperor dotes on her, so I am sometimes powerless to deal with her behavior. In addition, Liao Yunfei is not from the palace, and her status is rather special, so I cannot intervene."
"The Queen has done enough for us. We will always remember these kindnesses. Liao Yunfei is not an easy person to deal with. Since she can't have children, she will have to avoid a lot of trouble. This is a good thing for us." The princess expressed her attitude.
"I think so too. However, the Crown Prince's wife should be more cautious about Liao Yunfei. The princess is not in the imperial capital. If there is anything, you can come to me. As long as I can help, I will not delay. However, you also know that my current situation is also difficult."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. We all understand." The princess nodded solemnly.
The queen handed the title deed of the prince's residence to the princess, and after chatting for a while, the princess made up an excuse to leave.
Ji Chuhe and the princess rode in the same carriage to the new mansion.
After getting the land deed, the princess had to take a look at it before she could leave with peace of mind.
"He'er, did you understand what the Queen said today?"
"Don't worry, mother. I understand. She means that I can ask her for help, but don't count on her too much. She is hiding so deeply that she definitely doesn't want others to see that she has formed an alliance with us privately. She is just reminding me."
"Even the fact that Liao Yunfei was force-fed red soup may not be as she said. You must act respectful and cautious in front of her, trust her completely, and rely on her. Do you understand? She can still be of great use at critical moments."
"Ok, I know."
"Mother knows that you can see through these things without me telling you. However, I am worried when you are not around. You have never been to the imperial capital, so you have no idea how complicated the relationships in the imperial capital are. In the future, your grandmother will slowly talk to you."
How could Ji Chuhe not understand?
From a commoner who was as poor as a refugee, to the wife of a powerful official second only to the emperor.
No one knows the imperial capital better than her.
In this life, with the identity of the Crown Prince's wife and the full support of the Rongguo Mansion, it is countless times easier for her to plan things than in her previous life.
"Cooperating with the Queen is like courting disaster. In short, it is better to be careful." The princess added.
"Yes." Ji Chuhe responded respectfully.
Soon, the carriage arrived outside the new mansion and slowly stopped.
Ji Chuhe got off the carriage first and helped the princess down.
They both looked up at the same time and looked at this magnificent mansion.
There were already craftsmen dismantling the plaque. When they saw them, a man dressed as a eunuch immediately stepped forward and saluted.
"This servant greets the princess, the Crown Prince's wife."
"No need to be polite, just take us in and take a look." the princess ordered.
"Yes." The eunuch bent over and led the way.
Walking through the main entrance, a small garden surrounded by corridors appeared in front of them.
There are rockery, flowing water, and an elaborately carved screen wall.
Walking along the corridor, we arrived at the entrance of the courtyard.
There is a special reception hall in the courtyard, which is very spacious and can accommodate dozens of people for a banquet and a dance team. There are pavilions and towers all around, which are scattered in an orderly manner. It can be seen that the landscaping of the courtyard has been carefully thought out.
Walking towards the second courtyard, the view suddenly becomes much wider.
There is a main hall facing south and north, and two rows of side rooms on the left and right.
This is the main courtyard.
