Concubine Cai was thinking while blowing the pillow. It just so happened that the Crown Princess had given her a lot of money before, asking her to speak ill of Linlang in front of the emperor. Now that she had done so, she not only took care of Linlang, but also helped the Crown Princess handle the matter. Well, Princess Wang can't say that she didn't do anything, killing two birds with one stone.
Concubine Cai's words made the emperor feel a little unhappy towards Uncle Zhongyong and Linlang.
In fact, the main reason why he didn't kill Li Fangrui before was because he wanted to bring good fortune to his children at that time, so he didn't kill him. Otherwise, he should have been killed long ago based on what Li Fangrui did.
Now that the child is a princess, there is no need for this anymore. What Li Fangrui did that day can indeed be rethought.
Don’t worry if he changes his handling of them and the ministers will complain about how he uncovered the case again. Historically, some emperors disliked ministers who, after causing trouble once, continued to cause trouble. Not nothing.
It's just... when he came to Linlang and thought of Concubine Cai's words and wanted to scold her, seeing Linlang's honest appearance as always, he couldn't scold her anymore because he also knew that Li Fangrui's matter was actually a bit different from Linlang's. It didn't matter. Linlang was simply implicated by Li Fangrui. It was a bit too much for him to scold Linlang for this.
Not to mention anything else, Li Fangrui is a married woman, so he just takes care of it. According to the rules of the dynasty, he also takes care of the husband's family. Generally, he will not take care of the natal family of a married woman, unless it is to punish the Nine Clan. The married woman’s natal family is included in the calculation, as is the wife clan. If the nine clans are not punished, the married woman’s natal family will not be implicated.
But it is definitely impossible to implicate the nine clans, because he himself is still the nine Qiwang clans. If the nine clans are implicated, aren't they going to implicate him?
If the nine clans were not implicated, why would he punish Uncle Zhongyong and Li Linlang, especially since Li Linlang was not Li Fangrui's natal family, but another married woman, and had nothing to do with Li Fangrui's natal family.
In fact, according to the folk calculation, he can't deal with Li Linlang at all. After all, Li Linlang has nothing to do with Prince Qi's Mansion, not even the wife clan among the nine clans. After all, she is married and is from her husband's family. Ah, that's his person. If Linlang is to be dealt with, wouldn't he, Linlang's husband, have to deal with it too?
So he had a reason to deal with Uncle Zhongyong's Mansion. After all, he was the wife family of Prince Qi's Mansion, but there was really no reason to deal with Li Linlang.
Thinking about it again, Linlang has always been very submissive to him and has never been arrogant or domineering. It was a bit too much for him to anger Li Linlang because of Li Fangrui.
Besides, didn’t he know that Li Fangrui had a bad relationship with Li Linlang and wanted to kill her? He had thought about it before, if he really followed Li Fangrui’s idea and killed or punished Li Linlang, no one would be the happiest person. Li Fangrui was worried. He couldn't do such a thing, lest he make Li Fangrui, whom he hated, realize his wish. In that case, why did he want to find Linlang's fault now?
Alas, even though Concubine Cai is good, he can't say anything to her, that's all.
Thinking of this, the emperor's mind became clearer and he said nothing to Linlang.
——The emperor didn't know that his life was almost given up by Linlang just because he scolded her.
After a few days, Concubine Cai saw that the emperor was not attracted to Linlang, and wondered what was going on. Why was it useless to blow the pillow by herself?
At that moment, he continued to speak ill of Linlang in the name of speaking for the emperor and his heirs. But this time, the emperor didn't listen and his face became more and more ugly. Then he ran to find Linlang angrily. On the contrary, he criticized her. , said: "Li Fangrui's matter has nothing to do with Linlang. Don't mention it again in the future."
After hearing this, Concubine Cai couldn't help but paled, and she didn't dare to continue talking. After all, although she was favored, she might fall out of favor if she pissed off the emperor. After all, Concubine Han, Concubine Sun, and Concubine Yue in front of her were all very popular in the past. They were all pampered, so what now?
So since the emperor has determined this matter, Concubine Cai naturally cannot mention Linlang on this matter again.
But she was unwilling to mention Linlang in this matter, so she started to find fault with Linlang in other matters.
After a period of time, Concubine Cai felt that if she spoke ill of Linlang again, the emperor would not feel that she was deliberately stumbling upon Linlang, so she started to act like a monster again.
No, Linlang had something to do that day. He asked Concubine Cai to get the phoenix seal from the palace to be stamped. After Concubine Cai gave the seal to Linlang, Linlang used it and when he returned it to her, she refused to take it back.
Why is Feng Yin at Concubine Cai's place? It was because, after Empress Dowager Ding fell silent, Empress Dowager Chen kept a low profile and was unwilling to interfere with palace affairs. In addition, Concubine Cai was favored, so the emperor asked Concubine Cai to manage the harem. Then he thought that, as concubines, Linlang had no power to take care of it. Let Linlang take care of it too - Concubine Cai was also very dissatisfied with this. She felt that she was the only one to take care of the harem, so why could Linlang take care of it too?
But she didn't dare to confront her boss, the emperor, so she vented her anger on Linlang. In the process of managing the harem, she often caused obstacles for Linlang.
At this moment, Linlang saw that she didn't accept the Phoenix Seal. He didn't know what she was up to, so he took it back and watched her performance quietly.
Then Linlang discovered that the people in the palace were looking for Concubine Cai to do something, but Concubine Cai wouldn't do it for them. When people asked what was wrong, Concubine Cai pretended to be helpless and said that Linlang had taken away the seal and that Linlang had occupied the phoenix seal.
So those who didn't know could not help but spread rumors, and some people asked Linlang, "I heard from Lady Cai that you took away her seal. Is this the case?"
After Linlang clarified that she didn't want the Phoenix Seal, but that Concubine Cai insisted on it, people who were close to Concubine Cai said, who told Linlang to manage the harem? If she didn't take this job, would there be these conflicts?
Such remarks made Linlang laugh angrily. After all, this job was arranged by the emperor, and it was also good for her. Why should she not accept it just because Concubine Cai was unhappy? Could it be that Concubine Cai is the center of the world and everyone has to give way to her, and if they don't let her, they will punish others?
This woman is really overly ambitious. Even for such trivial matters, she is always nitpicking. With her character, luckily she is not allowed to be a high-ranking official. Otherwise, she would be self-centered and not centered on her. The character of retaliating against others is not enough to kill everyone who does not do what she wants.
In fact, Linlang really didn't have to take this job. She originally planned to just mess around and take this opportunity to install some of her own people so that she could control the harem. Then she would find an opportunity to offload this matter, but since Concubine Cai I feel that why should she take this job, steal her job, and then cause trouble for her and speak ill of her everywhere? I have to say that Linlang insisted on taking this job because she likes Concubine Cai and can't stand it. She, I still can’t get rid of her.
