Chapter 281 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

Ji Nai looked at Nara and said mockingly, "Exchange of information? What information do you know?"

Huipin gritted her teeth. Sure enough, she still hated Ma Jiashi. After thinking about it, she finally told Ma Jiashi the news she had recently received, "During this period, that group of people were quietly approaching Kunning Palace, but the Empress Dowager and His Majesty were guarding outside, so they failed."

Ji Nai's eyebrows jumped. If it wasn't for Nara telling her, she really wouldn't have known this news. Since she decided to withdraw from the palace affairs, the news would naturally lag behind. There was nothing she could do about it.

"What are they going to do?"

"It's not clear yet. Maybe he wants to silence us?" Huipin gloated.

"will not!"

Huipin began to feel unhappy. Why did Ma Jia think that it wouldn't happen? How smart did she think she was?

Ji Nai glanced at the helpless Madam Wu beside Huipin and said, "You should listen to other people's ideas more in the future and stop using your own brain."

Huipin was really angry now. What did Ma Jia mean by this? Was she attacking her personally, saying that she was not smart enough? Nanny Wu had to work very hard to hold her master down.

"The queen's vicious end was already doomed, and her confinement to Kunning Palace was only temporary, so why should they go to such lengths and bear the charge of murdering the queen?"

"Then tell me, what do they want to do?" Huipin said unhappily.

"Of course, I will use this knife to squeeze out the last bit of value from the queen. After all, no matter what a madman does, it is possible and will not arouse suspicion."

Huipin had to admit, okay, what Ma Jia said did make sense, but, "What would they want the queen to do?"

"No matter what she does, our queen will be in trouble. His Majesty has already exhausted his tolerance for her. If the queen does anything again, even if she is just being used by others, His Majesty will never let her go."

When their eyes met, Huipin immediately understood the meaning of Ma Jia's words. It turned out that this was the reason why she called her over, and all the previous things were just a cover-up.

However, Huipin was willing to cooperate.

As she said before, both of them were victims and wanted revenge. In this way, they could kill the queen without dirtying their own hands, so why not do it?

Huipin also echoed, "Yes, these people are omnipresent. I'm afraid the Queen is in danger. However, fortunately, His Majesty and the Empress Dowager's people are outside Kunning Palace, so it won't be so easy for them to succeed."

The two looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

After Huipin left Zhongcui Palace, she suddenly laughed. Nanny Wu was a little panicked. What happened to the master? Don't make any more trouble.

"Master? What are you laughing at?" It was so creepy. Nanny Wu waved her hand, signaling the palace maids behind her to stay away. If the master had another attack and said something he shouldn't have, at least she would be the only one who heard it.

"I laugh at Rongpin. This is really a person who cherishes herself. She wants to intervene in these matters, but she is too proud to dirty her hands."

"Master, let's not get involved in this mess. Although the Queen is still alive, His Majesty can no longer tolerate her. Perhaps one day, His Majesty will take action himself."

Nanny Wu was a little worried. Although the words that Rongpin had just said to the master were obscure, she still heard that Rongpin was instigating the master to deal with the queen.

Last time, the master took action against Prince Chenghu, and as a result he completely fell out of favor, and even the younger prince was sent away. What should he do if he angers the Emperor again this time?

"Which day? Mammy, I will wait until that day. You never know, I may be gone before that day comes."

"Master, please don't say such unlucky words. Your fate is definitely better than the one in Kunning Palace."

"Things in this palace are unpredictable. Who knows what will happen tomorrow?"

They were both silent. After a long while, Huipin spoke again:

"Mammy, do you think I can get away with it if I withdraw now? This fight has already begun since the beginning of the feud between the Queen and I. It is a fight to the death. It will not stop unless one of us dies."

"But what if Rongpin has bad intentions and betrays us?"

"She won't, Mammy, you forgot that in the harem, Rongpin and I are the only ones who hold the same palace, and we are the only ones who have princes. Mammy, based on Rongpin's past deeds, what kind of person do you think she is?"

Nanny Wu thought for a while, then said, "Be cautious, careful, and take every step steadily." At this point, Nanny Wu suddenly realized. Yes, Concubine Rong was a smart person and naturally knew the principle of cooking oil with a fierce fire.

At this time, should he suppress his master, bear the attention of everyone in the harem alone and enjoy the temporary prestige, or have someone to share the burden with him and keep a low profile as much as possible?

Perhaps many people would be dazzled by the wealth and glory before their eyes, but that was Concubine Rong. It could be said that so far, the biggest winner in the palace was Concubine Rong. Could she be so brainless?

"Besides, does Mammy believe that the Queen is truly crazy?"

Nanny Wu didn't say anything. Her answer was obvious. Even if the queen was suffering from hysteria, the timing of her madness was too coincidental. People in the palace always think three steps ahead. This is not suspicion, but survival instinct.

It can be said that few people in the entire palace believed that the queen was really crazy.

So, "Mammy, if she doesn't die, I will be the one who can't rest day and night." Huipin said this very close to Mammy Wu, almost in a whisper.

Although Nanny Wu was worried that the matter would be exposed and that the Emperor would not forgive them this time, since Nanny Wu had already defected to Concubine Hui, she naturally wanted to share her master's worries.

The master is right. The Yanx Palace and the Kunning Palace have become mortal enemies. If the queen is not dealt with quickly, if one day the master lets down his guard and falls into a trap, he will most likely be doomed.

There is only a thief who can steal for a thousand days, but there is no such thing as being on guard against thieves for a thousand days.

"Master, we don't need to do it ourselves."

"Ok?"

"You have dealt with enough people in the past period of time, including the people of the Hesheli family and that mysterious force. I think the remaining remnants must have already gone into hiding. It is normal that you missed a few people.

Besides, isn't Rongpin asking you to help solve the rumor? I'm really too busy to do anything else, so I can only put the matter of cleaning up the nails aside for now.

As for Kunning Palace, there are many people who hate that person. If those people knew that there is a force in the palace that wants to get rid of the queen, but is unable to succeed because the Emperor and the Empress Dowager are guarding outside Kunning Palace, would they intervene and open the door for that force?"

"What do you mean, mama?"

Huipin saw the calculation in Nanny Wu's eyes and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. Rongpin pushed the matter to her, and Huipin did have some objections, but she really couldn't shirk this matter.

Getting rid of the queen has always been her wish, and it is also something she has to do.

However, the consequences of assassinating Chenghu made her dare not easily take action against the queen. Even if Rongpin's method was to kill someone with a borrowed knife, Huipin still couldn't rest easy. But Wu Ma gave her another way, so that she didn't have to do it herself, so that she could completely clear herself of the relationship.

Nanny Wu gave her master some advice, "Master, you are now in charge of palace affairs, and you have to interact with other concubines. You can first stir up their hatred towards the queen, and then reveal the existence and 'intentions' of that force."

"Our people must also keep an eye on Kunning Palace and find out what exactly they want to do with Your Majesty. We only have one chance. If it's not a matter of life and death, not only will we fail to get rid of the Queen, but Your Majesty will also be on guard and guard the Queen closely."

"I'm afraid this will be difficult." Nanny Wu frowned. Not only would she have to know their purpose in advance, but she might also have to destroy it. Doing so would definitely leave traces.

"Mammy, Rongpin said that the power came from the bannermen." Huipin's eyes lit up and she asked excitedly, "Do you think what Rongpin said is true? Or is she lying to me?"

"It should be true. Rongpin and we have the same goal. There is no need to tamper with this kind of news, otherwise it is very likely that our efforts will fail."
