Chapter 125: Exchange Your Secret
Sheng Nanzhi's eyelids twitched. Of course she remembered.
At that time, she wanted to find Wei Mingyue to provoke Sheng Qingqian, but she knew nothing about Wei Mingyue, so she asked Shi Huaizhi to check. She told Shi Huaizhi that Sheng Qingqian hated Mu Zhao so much because Mu Zhao had a mistress.
But she didn't expect that Wei Mingyue was not Mu Zhao's concubine at that time, and she had not even reunited with Mu Zhao.
After she personally planned the reunion of Mu Zhao and Wei Mingyue, Wei Mingyue became Mu Zhao's concubine.
All this seemed a little strange in Shi Huaizhi's eyes.
Sheng Nanzhi coughed lightly, pretending not to understand Shi Huaizhi's suspicion. She just nodded and said, "Wei Mingyue has become Mu Zhao's concubine now. My third sister probably doesn't know about this yet, right? I have to find a way to let her know."
After all, in this life, Mu Zhao and Wei Mingyue recognized each other in front of Sheng Qingqian. Sheng Qingqian might have a hard time sleeping tonight.
Then let her stay awake for a while longer.
She wanted to find ways to anger Sheng Qingqian and make Sheng Qingqian and Wen Tingyun fall out.
Although Wen Tingyun no longer has her to plan everything for him in this life, it is not enough.
She had to eliminate all possibilities of Wen Tingyun becoming the crown prince.
Sheng Nanzhi's eyes flickered: "Because of the things that happened in the palace recently, I seem to have not paid attention to the situation in the palace for a while."
"Are there any movements between Wen Tingyun and my second sister?"
"Sheng Qingqian is already pregnant, but my second sister's belly is still not moving?"
Shi Huaizhi laughed: "I heard that Wen Tingyun often stays in the palace lately to discuss state affairs with His Majesty."
"He also often went in and out of the harem to visit the virtuous concubine."
Sheng Nanzhi understood the implicit meaning of his words almost immediately.
It seems that Wen Tingyun has been meeting with Sheng Yunrou secretly under the pretext of visiting Concubine Xian recently.
Sheng Nanzhi's lips curled up slightly, and she smiled meaningfully. If...
That would be interesting.
Just as she was thinking about it, she heard Shi Huaizhi say, "Do you know where they often meet in private?"
Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyes to look at him. If it was just an ordinary place, Shi Huaizhi would definitely not ask like this. She rolled her eyes and said, "In the palace of Concubine Xian."
A hint of admiration flashed in Shi Huaizhi's eyes: "The princess is indeed smart."
Sheng Nanzhi curled the corners of her mouth, not surprised.
Wen Tingyun had just been recognized by the emperor, and Sheng Yunrou had also just entered the palace. She knew very little about the palace, not as much as the virtuous concubine who had worked as a maid in the palace for many years.
What Wen Tingyun and Sheng Yunrou did was to defile the palace, so naturally they had to choose the safest place.
For them, the safest place is the virtuous concubine's palace.
With the virtuous concubine as a cover, it would be much more convenient.
Sheng Nanzhi sighed, "What a pity."
It's a pity that she and Sheng Qingqian have completely torn their faces apart. Otherwise, she could still...
However, it's not completely impossible.
Sheng Qingqian was a little too idle, so she had time to cause trouble for her again and again, to give Wen Tingyun advice based on her past life experiences, and to come to her to show off the child in her belly whose father was unknown.
If she could find more things for Sheng Qingqian to do and make more enemies, maybe she could divert her attention away from her?
Sheng Nanzhi raised her eyes and looked at Shi Huaizhi, her face immediately full of smiles: "I have a plan, and I may need to use the prince's connections in the palace."
Shi Huaizhi raised his eyebrows and smiled meaningfully: "Of course you can."
"But I need the princess to promise me one thing."
"What's the matter?" Sheng Nanzhi blinked.
"Tell me a secret of the princess."
"Why did the princess know in advance that Wei Mingyue would become Mu Zhao's concubine? Why, when Mu Zhao clearly didn't have a concubine, was the princess so certain that Sheng Qingqian had become an enemy of Mu Zhao because of his concubine?"
Well, the topic she tried to avoid was brought back by Shi Huaizhi.
This matter...is not easy to fool around with.
Sheng Nanzhi's mind raced. If she didn't borrow Shi Huaizhi's secret agent in the palace, it seemed possible.
She is now the Princess of Yi and can enter the palace at any time under the pretext of visiting Concubine Hua...
As soon as the thought came to her mind, Shi Huaizhi seemed to see through her thoughts: "Even if you can enter the palace, there is no way to get close to Concubine Xian's palace without disturbing her people."
This is true.
Sheng Nanzhi bit her lip and glanced at Shi Huaizhi with a hint of resentment.
Why is this person like a worm in her stomach?
Sheng Nanzhi took a deep breath and said, "Okay, deal."
Shi Huaizhi was satisfied: "I hope that when the matter is done, Princess, you will not deny your debt and will not make excuses to fool me."
Fortunately, I don’t know if it’s because Wen Tingyun and Sheng Yunrou really have more frequent private meetings, or if she is just extremely lucky.
But three or four days later, she found an opportunity.
Just after noon, Shi Huaizhi received the news: "Wen Tingyun is in the palace and should be going to the virtuous concubine."
Sheng Nanzhi was a little surprised: "Wen Tingyun has to attend court every day, right? He also goes to the palace, right? Why are you so sure that Wen Tingyun will go to the virtuous concubine today?"
Shi Huaizhi lowered his eyes. "The news came from the Imperial Kitchen. Concubine Xian sent someone to the Imperial Kitchen to ask them to prepare two more dishes. The additional dishes are almost all based on Wen Tingyun's taste."
This was an angle that Sheng Nanzhi had never thought of.
She silently gave a thumbs up: "Your Highness is truly amazing. Does Your Highness know where Sheng Qingqian is now?"
Shi Huaizhi raised the corner of his mouth: "I knew you would ask, so I asked someone to check. Sheng Qingqian returned to the Sheng Mansion today."
Sheng Mansion.
Sheng Nanzhi fumbled with her cuffs with her fingers. It had been a while since she had been back to the Sheng Mansion, so it was just right.
Sheng Nanzhi rolled his eyes, asked someone to prepare some things, and went straight to the Sheng Mansion.
Sheng Qingqian was still there. After hearing the report, she couldn't help but curl her lips, looking as if she didn't want to see Sheng Nanzhi.
Aunt Liu's face was filled with surprise. "Did you two sisters make an appointment? How come both of you are here?"
"Come and sit down!"
Sheng Nanzhi shook her head and refused with a smile: "I want to go to the palace and I want to pass by the Sheng Mansion. Some time ago, I got some excellent fabrics that are suitable for summer wear. I just want to take this opportunity to bring them to my aunt."
"Enter the palace?" Aunt Liu was surprised: "Enter the palace for what? Could something have happened in the palace?"
Sheng Qingqian couldn't help but look over, her eyes full of scrutiny.
"That's not the case, but Concubine Hua has always been concerned about the child in my belly. Although she left Nanny Jin to take care of me, I thought it would be inconvenient for her to leave the palace. So I often go to the palace to let her check on me, so that she can feel at ease, right?"
As she spoke, she looked at Sheng Qingqian again: "Third sister, it's been a few days since you found out you're pregnant. Have you personally come to the palace to announce the good news to the virtuous concubine? So that the virtuous concubine can also see the child in your belly?"
Sheng Qingqian paused, she... didn't.
