Princess Xiangrui in Huanzhu

I was worried that I would be exposed after a long time, especially after Luo Yu's ambiguous words, I became even more nervous.

Luo Rou's desire to settle these things became stronger and stronger.

Originally, Luo Rou planned to take it step by step to avoid being rushed. It would be best if Yongjing could not get the love he wanted so that she could gain the upper hand.

But now she didn't dare to take any risks at all. If she delayed, something might happen. She couldn't let go of this opportunity to change her destiny!

Luo Rou's eyes suddenly deepened. No one could stop her, absolutely not!

The maid couldn't help but shudder when she saw Luo Rou, who looked like a ghost.

In the eyes of outsiders, Luo Rou is as her name suggests, but in the eyes of servants like them, she is not as good as the one in the East Courtyard.

At least she was a legitimate daughter. Although she was a bit aggressive, she had a much better reputation among the servants. They were also protective of her and would never criticize her harshly.

When asked how she knew this, she said that the master has his own circle of friends, and servants like them naturally have their own circle of friends.

They all knew what kind of people their masters were like in private.

Not only the Luo Mansion, but also the servants of the prominent families in the entire capital city know a lot of secrets.

For example, the son of the Minister of the Ministry of Revenue was a violent maniac. He would either beat or scold his servants. A few years ago, he beat a maid to death. The maid's family tried to seek an explanation, but their case was suppressed and nothing happened.

All of them servants were in danger, but fortunately the incident had caused quite a stir and the young master had become much more restrained. If he hadn't restrained himself, he would have been abandoned by the family. Although he was the legitimate son, he was not the only one and irreplaceable.

Another example is the Fang family, which was once very popular and attracted much attention because they had a child prodigy. Later it was revealed that those poems were written by hired poets, and the child was actually just an ordinary child.

Before this incident was exposed, they, the servants, had already known about it.

And the eldest son of the Minister of Rites actually has a crush on Long Yang. You should know that the crush on Long Yang by the deposed Crown Prince was a hot topic back then, and the current atmosphere is not very friendly to the crush on Long Yang.

So the eldest son has been keeping it a secret, but I heard that he is going to discuss marriage with the second daughter of the Minister of Personnel, and I am afraid that it will be another bloody storm.

These are what the servants discuss in private, but they will not tell anyone else. If anything goes wrong, their lives will be in danger.

After all, they were just worthless lives. Even if they were beaten to death, no one would seek justice for them. They would just be wrapped in straw mats and thrown into a mass grave.

Although Luo Yu is seen as a spoiled young lady by outsiders, she has a good reputation among her servants.

Never criticizing, beating or scolding servants is already eighty to ninety percent ahead of the others.

The maid glanced at Luo Rou and sighed deeply inwardly, knowing that one can only know a person's appearance but not his heart.

Luo Rou had no idea what the maid was saying. She was only thinking about how to find a reasonable excuse.

The next day.

Luo Yu got up, washed, paid his respects to the old lady, and then returned to the yard.

Along the way, Luo Yu noticed that Caiwei seemed to be hesitant to speak.

"What happened?" Luo Yu spoke helplessly after feeling Caiwei's eighteenth sneak peek.

"Um...Miss, I heard that in the South Courtyard..."

The South Courtyard was Luo Rou's residence. Luo Yu was stunned.

What's going on? Did she notice the taunts she couldn't hold back last night?

But it’s no big deal, Luo Yu’s thought flashed through his mind.

Caiwei has a very good relationship with all the maids and servants in the Luo Mansion. She is a rare social talent in modern times.

Therefore, Caiwei knew everything about the news in the mansion. She knew that Luo Yu disliked Luo Rou, and she also often paid attention to the news from the South Courtyard.

This morning when I went to get breakfast, I happened to run into the maid from the South Courtyard.

After a few words of small talk, Caiwei knew that Luo Rou was going out early in the morning.

Judging from what the maid complained, she was probably going to Yongjing's palace.

This sounded the alarm for Caiwei. Caiwei also knew a little about the conflict between Luo Yu and Luo Rou, as well as Luo Rou's use of someone else as a substitute.

I feel so sorry for my young lady. It was clearly my young lady who saved the person, so how could she impersonate someone else?

But no matter how angry Caiwei was, it was useless and she could only be furious.

So when Caiwei heard about the things in the South Courtyard, she became particularly concerned and asked questions intentionally or unintentionally. This morning, when she heard the maidservant around Luo Rou complaining, she started to inquire about it.

When she heard that Luo Rou was planning to go to Yongjing's house, she immediately sounded the alarm, and then she stole glances at Luo Yu several times on the way back to the yard.

Luo Yu was stunned. She didn't expect Luo Rou to be so impatient. It seemed that what she said yesterday really scared her.

But it’s okay. The more chaotic things are, the easier it is to make mistakes and the easier it is to be exposed.

Luo Yu sneered.

"Miss, shouldn't we...expose her?" Caiwei asked cautiously. Seeing Luo Rou jumping around relying on Luo Yu's kindness, she felt really uncomfortable and unfair.

However, the emperor was not anxious, but the eunuch was. Luo Yu was quite patient.

"Not in a hurry, but soon."

"Let's go."

"Yes."

***

At the gate of the huge palace, there are two stone lions that are quite domineering.

As the legitimate son of the Empress, Yongjing's treatment was not affected at all, even though he had an older brother who was definitely the heir.

Besides, the Qing Dynasty valued surprise. Although Yongqi was now the designated successor, no one could guarantee anything until he ascended the throne.

To put it bluntly, if you don't have the ability, you can be pulled down even if you go up there.

Although Yongjing is now an idle prince, his status is noble, and being the legitimate son of the Empress is enough.

There were even some people who wanted to take advantage of the situation and secretly instigated Yongjing to compete with Yongqi for the supreme position.

Yongjing sold her out right away.

Not only did he tell Yongqi, he also told Qianlong.

Qianlong and Yongji were speechless for a while. How could such words be said casually? But Yongjing said it, and said it openly.

I almost burst into tears in the imperial study.

"Brother, Father! They are so cruel that they deserve to be killed!"

Qianlong:......

Yongqi:......

Those who don’t know would think that Yongjing was assassinated.

For Yongjing, it was almost the same. He had a very clear self-positioning, that is, he was just a salted fish who would turn over from time to time.

Asking him to compete for that position is no less than steaming and roasting him, a salted fish, over and over again.

How could this not make Yongjing angry?

Don’t you see, Yongji tried every possible way to shirk his responsibilities, but there were still people who made him work like an ox or a horse!

Yongjing thought clearly that although his health had tended to improve with age, at least it would not be as bad as before, if he was not careful.

But he still can't work too hard. Besides, he has a more Buddhist personality, so Yongjing feels that the current situation is very good.
