Chapter 127 Becoming Another Wei Qingqing

"She...she is so rude!" Zhou Lin was so angry that she was out of breath. She had never seen such an arrogant and presumptuous person.

Even though she was a concubine's daughter, she was registered under her mother's name, and there were concubines and maids in the mansion. But even the most favored one would be respectful and well-behaved when seeing her mother, and would not dare to speak a word.

Who would have thought that when they arrived at the Duke Zhenguo's Mansion, Xia Zheng not only dared to snatch people from them directly, but also dared to be so arrogant in front of Tao Yurong, the legal wife, and even left like that without giving the Crown Prince's wife any face.

Simply.

Looking at Tao Yurong again, she just frowned in embarrassment.

"Princess, you won't discipline her even if she's like this?"

Tao Yurong looked at her helplessly and sighed, "She's not wrong. I only sent soup to the prince yesterday. It was the prince who went to her courtyard, so it's not easy to say anything. But I will explain to the prince about the grievances you three have suffered."

It's like saying nothing.

Gu Yizi favors Xia Zheng and has left the three of them out in the cold. He couldn't even keep the newcomer on the first night, so what's the point of saying anything?

After all, they were just concubines like Xia Zheng. Unlike the main wife and concubines, they were married into the family and had a ceremony and a proper wedding night. What's more, they had also inquired about it. The wedding night of Xue who committed suicide out of fear of punishment was also disrupted by Xia Zheng, and the marriage was never consummated until the day of her death.

When it was just Xue family, Tao Yurong couldn't handle Xia Zheng. How could the three of them still expect this soft persimmon, the Crown Prince's Consort, to help them make the decision? It was wishful thinking.

So, Zhou Lin bowed and said goodbye angrily, and the other two followed closely.

So, Tao Yurong released everyone.

Chunzhi, who had always been like a quail, went straight to Yinlin's courtyard as soon as she was released. When she entered, she saw Xia Zheng lying on a rocking chair under the banyan tree, eating snacks. She looked at her with a smile and said, "I knew you would come. I've made honey fruit tea for you."

Walking in and looking at the leisurely Xia Zheng, Chunzhi rubbed her eyes, suspecting she had seen it wrongly. But when she opened her eyes, the same thing still happened. She asked worriedly, "You...what's wrong with you? Did you take the wrong medicine? Are you possessed? Or are you just sick and confused?"

Xia Zheng was amused by her and said angrily, "Don't you hope for my well-being?"

"Of course I hope you're doing well, but you're acting strangely today. You..." Chunzhi looked Xia Zheng up and down again and asked uncertainly, "Are you Xia Zheng?"

"Why, do you think I'm not good like this?"

"Of course it's not good. You don't know that the three newcomers had been complaining to the Crown Prince's Consort before you came, saying that you used all means to snatch people away. After you left, they were so angry that they looked like they wanted to kill you. They will definitely be against you in the future. They are all..."

"They are all concubines." Xia Zheng interrupted Chunzhi's next words. "Once they entered this mansion, they are just like us, concubines. Even if they don't deal with me, what can they do to me?"

This question confused Chunzhi.

How about taking Xia Zheng?

In the past, the punishment could be arbitrarily given at the very least, with verbal abuse, or at the worst, physical violence. But now, Xia Zheng is a concubine, and is on an equal footing with a new concubine. Moreover, Xia Zheng has Ruanruan by her side, which is even higher.

Not to mention that Gu Yizi now dotes on Xia Zheng and would stay overnight at Xia Zheng's house with just a bowl of soup, leaving the three newcomers alone in the empty room. This kind of favor is unmatched by anyone.

Now, what can those three do to Xia Zheng? Do they dare to do anything to Xia Zheng?

"But isn't it bad to make enemies?" Chunzhi couldn't figure out so many things, but she knew that offending too many people and making them all enemies was definitely not a good thing.

"They couldn't possibly be our friends in the first place. Besides, don't you feel refreshed now that this is happening?"

Is it refreshing?

Chunzhi thought back to how Xia Zheng had just retorted to Zhou Lin's every word, making her so angry that her face turned red and her neck became thick, but she couldn't refute it. It was indeed quite refreshing.

"You are straightforward, but when I looked at you, you didn't look like yourself at that time. You looked like Concubine Wei."

"It's just that I don't have her family background, nor do I have her confidence and know what to do." Xia Zheng handed the snack to Chunzhi. "It's freshly made, try it."

Chunzhi took the snack and ate a piece, then sat down immediately, completely putting aside her previous worries. As she ate, she said vaguely, "That's right, you've always been smart. Besides, the Crown Prince's Consort said today that there was nothing wrong with what you said, and didn't blame you. So, you should be fine."

Xia Zheng smiled and didn't respond.

Tao Yurong naturally would not say that she was wrong to go. What she wanted was for her to be completely hostile to these newcomers, make enemies everywhere, and become another Wei Qingqing. Meanwhile, she would continue to be the virtuous, gentle and easy-to-control prince's consort, and then win over one or two fools who could use her as a surrogate mother to give birth to a child.

Even though she knew that Gu Yizi would not touch these people now, there would inevitably be loopholes over time.

As long as someone else can give birth to a child, regardless of gender, and as long as Gu Yizi's attention is diverted away from Xia Zheng and Ruanruan, then she can get rid of her.

The time that Tao Yurong wants is also what Xia Zheng wants.

……

Donghua Kingdom, Jiqing Palace.

Chief Minister Xiao Tingyu was lying on the golden dragon throne, with his long legs resting on the arms of the chair, rocking up and down. His movements looked joyful, but his whole aura was gloomy and terrifying.

In the shadows, only his profile could be seen.

Her face is white and her lips are red, and the upturned corners of her eyes reveal charm and danger. A slight movement and trembling of her eyelashes make her look like a butterfly flapping its wings to fly, which is both alluring and frightening from the bottom of her heart.

He held a piece of paper between his fingers, on which was densely written things about the Great Zhou.

Among them, Gu Yizi occupies a large amount of space.

"Sir, the old emperor of the Great Zhou is determined to pass the throne to Gu Yizi. Now that our secret agents have been gradually eliminated, the old emperor can't do it. Gu Yizi's house is also an iron bucket. Where do you think we should start?"

Xiao Tingyu turned the paper over as if he didn't hear anything.

Looking at Helan's reply regarding the instant noodles, his brows furrowed.

He handled it cleanly.

Being so thorough must be stressful.

Someone who can make Gu Yizhi nervous...

"Then pry open a piece of the barrel."

"Pry it open?" The people below were confused.

Xiao Tingyu turned his eyes, and just by meeting his gaze, the people below trembled all over. Not daring to ask any more questions, they knelt down and said, "Your humble servant understands, and I will definitely see to it."

"Understand what?"

Xiao Tingyu sat up, his voice light, but it made the hearts of the people below jump into their throats. His mind raced, and finally, seizing a slight opportunity, he shouted, "Gu Yizi's new concubine!"

As soon as the words fell, the whole hall fell silent.

The person below could clearly hear his own beating heartbeat, but he didn't dare to look up at Xiao Tingyu, for fear that if he didn't answer him to his satisfaction, his head would be separated from his body as soon as he looked up.

After a few breaths, the people below were covered in cold sweat and were almost unable to hold on when laughter suddenly came from above their heads.

"That's great, then let Qingrui go."

Qing Rui!

The people below were shocked by Xiao Tingyu's decision. They raised their heads and wanted to say something, but the dragon throne was empty.
