Chapter 172: The Vengeful Concubine Yin
Zhou Yunxi cast his gaze towards Eunuch Xu, and after a brief pause, he spoke softly, "Eunuch, if Mei'er comes looking for me, I will immediately send someone to inform you."
Eunuch Xu listened and nodded with a smile, but at this moment, he couldn't help but feel a little surprised.
He keenly caught the extremely intimate way Zhou Yunxi addressed Zhao Meir, and it seemed that the relationship between them must be extraordinary.
When Wang Xinyao and Eunuch Xu rushed back to the imperial study from Zhou Yunxi's forbidden army camp, Emperor Zhao Guoan had already gone to the Hall of Supreme Harmony to handle state affairs, and Concubine Yin had also left.
Therefore, Eunuch Xu hurriedly arranged a suitable residence for Wang Xinyao in this huge palace. The room was located next to where he and Xiao Xizi lived.
In order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Eunuch Xu simply announced to the public that Wang Xinyao was his newly adopted son.
With such a legitimate reason as a cover, those people with ulterior motives naturally would not dare to come and cause trouble easily. After all, Eunuch Xu's status in the palace is there.
The treatment is expected to last for one month. If Wang Xinyao is asked to travel frequently in and out of the palace, it will not only be extremely inconvenient, but also involve a high risk factor.
Therefore, finding a place to stay near the palace is undoubtedly the wisest and safest choice at the moment.
Coming out of the imperial study, Concubine Yin's beautiful face was filled with uncontrollable joy.
Her autumn-water eyes sparkled with excitement, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, like a beautiful flower in full bloom.
After returning to the Third Prince's Mansion, Concubine Yin first carefully arranged for the Third Prince to study his lessons, and then she breathed a long sigh of relief.
The unhappiness and boredom that once lingered in my heart disappeared without a trace in this instant.
Recalling the series of events that happened during this period, starting from the poisoning incident in Nanhu County and then to the subsequent flood incident.
Every time when they were about to succeed, a woman named Wang Xinyao would intervene and disrupt all their plans.
Although the master repeatedly comforted her by saying that she had absorbed the resentment of many people during the flood, and that the next thing to come was a drought.
Even if the woman from the countryside does have some extraordinary qualities and abilities, she is just a drop in the ocean and cannot cause much trouble, let alone have a substantial impact on the overall situation.
However, how could Concubine Yin, who has always been arrogant and vindictive, tolerate such humiliation and frustration?
When she was feeling extremely depressed, she couldn't help but think of herself as a naive girl.
At that time, as long as she was the slightest bit unhappy or troubled, Zhao Guoan, who was still the prince at that time, would always try his best to come up with various ways to make her happy.
But now things are different...
It’s all that old woman Luo Nan’s fault. Even though she gave birth to two children for Zhao Guoan, she never had the courage to face her beloved man with her true face.
Whenever she thought of this, a deep sense of resentment and helplessness welled up in Concubine Yin's heart...
She didn't dare to gamble, she didn't dare to easily gamble whether Zhao Guoan would still love her as much as before.
She didn't even dare to gamble. If Zhao Guoan knew what had happened between her and Zhao Yucheng, would he be generous and forgiving to her and let bygones be bygones?
When she thought of the name Zhao Yucheng, a sinister and vicious look instantly appeared on Concubine Yin's pretty face.
She cursed inwardly, "This abominable man, I will definitely skin him alive and tear his tendons apart one day!"
Just when Concubine Yin was lost in her own fantasy, Zhao Yucheng suddenly appeared before her: "Ling'er!"
This sudden situation startled Concubine Yin.
"Ling'er, I miss you so much. I haven't seen you for a few days. You are getting more and more beautiful!" Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yucheng opened his arms and hugged Concubine Yin tightly in his arms.
At the same time, his restless big hands began to wander and caress Yin Guifei's graceful body wantonly.
Although she was filled with disgust and aversion towards Zhao Yucheng deep in her heart, Concubine Yin still forced herself to suppress the nauseous feeling that almost made her want to vomit.
She asked in a voice as gentle and graceful as possible, "Your Highness, it's time to attend court and govern the country. Why did you suddenly come to me?"
"I asked for leave from my royal brother and came to teach Li'er how to practice sword!" Zhao Yucheng responded to Concubine Yin's question absentmindedly, while continuing to indulge his hands in rubbing and exploring her graceful and charming body.
All the good mood was ruined by Zhao Yucheng. For the first time, Concubine Yin had the urge to kill him immediately.
However, despite the endless pain and endurance surging in her heart, she still stubbornly put on the most charming and enchanting smile on her face.
At the same time, she gently raised her jade hand and skillfully stopped Zhao Yucheng's restless, wandering big hand.
She said coquettishly, "Your Highness, I am not feeling well today and cannot serve you wholeheartedly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhao Yucheng's originally excited face was instantly covered with disappointment, as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head, and his enthusiasm was instantly extinguished.
But in the end, he reluctantly let go of Concubine Yin in his arms.
Concubine Yin opened her red lips slightly, and in a seemingly gentle tone, she uttered a chilling sentence: "Your Majesty, I want Wang Xinyao from Nanhu County to disappear from this world completely!"
This sentence was like a thunder, exploding in Zhao Yucheng's ears and shocking him.
You know, in Zhao Yucheng's eyes, Wang Xinyao is just an ordinary country peasant woman.
Even though she may have some outstanding qualities, the paper she made was of high quality and extremely easy to use, and the salt produced by her salt mine was delicious and unique, these were far from enough to be the reason for Concubine Yin to kill her!
Zhao Yucheng then asked, full of doubt, "Ling'er, what on earth did Wang Xinyao do to provoke you? In my opinion, she's just a village woman. Even if she has some abilities, she's not something you'd want to kill!"
Concubine Yin sneered, "Your Highness, don't be fooled by appearances. The salt field business is booming, bringing more and more revenue to the national treasury. To prevent Yang Chende and Yang Chenhui from having a chance to turn things around, Wang Xinyao cannot be kept."
Zhao Yucheng frowned, "Ling'er, this matter needs to be carefully considered. Wang Xinyao is currently attracting considerable attention in the palace. If we act rashly, we might end up in trouble."
