Chapter 175 Two-Headed Snake
The old tea in the palace has run out.
Old tea will become moldy if not stored properly, and a few bad tea leaves can ruin a can of good tea in less than a day.
But they have fragrance and their color is no different from ordinary dry tea if you don't look closely.
So 'Chen Cha' was the nickname given to them by He Zhun Yierha.
This is different from the meaning of 'aged green tea'. The 'aged tea' refers to the phenomenon of mold and spoiled taste, and is used to describe the rats in the Imperial Household Department who thought they had escaped a disaster.
This series of plans should be sorted out from the beginning, starting from the day when the incident with Yinreng’s wet nurse happened.
The nurse's arrogance and dependence made her realize the changes in the historical line.
The wet nurse Jin Jia herself should be the support of her own corrupt group. Then, through that bowl of noodles, she became aware of the existence and intentions of the tasker D.
There are two things she likes to do most in her life.
1. Make plans and take the enemy's head from thousands of miles away.
Second, disrupt other people’s plans.
The task leader D appeared.
So she stopped the prince from getting involved and turned Yuqing Palace into her fortress.
Acquiesced to the tasker D's control over the fourth lady, Guaerjia Gefuhe.
Guarjia Gefuhe seemed to be a tasker who had always been successful. Her style of doing things made He Junyierha's mind open up rarely, and he began to assume that her luck might not come from her skills, but from herself.
The European Emperor System, Luck Cultivation or Group Pet System may be more in line with her personality and mind.
Her working style reveals the idea that "I am doing the right thing and you all must support me."
The loss of her reputation as a talented woman and the setbacks in her business in the capital did not make her make any changes.
This also shows how hopeless she is, but also how exploitable she is.
Destroying the pre-selected champion is the same goal that Jun Yilha and Tasker D share.
So she even went to light a fire. Through conversations, hints and guidance among the palace maids and servants, she finally made the palace maid of Guarjia Gefuhe say what made her decide to read out the charges in front of the Qianqing Palace.
"Fujin, didn't you come here like this before?"
Just this one sentence was enough to make Ge Fuhe throw away her useless brain.
It was she who posted the list outside the palace. Things had gotten so out of control that even the tasker D had never imagined the outcome.
The civil unrest in the Forbidden City and the chaos in the capital are completely different.
As long as the incident happened in the Forbidden City, it would still be a private matter of the royal family, but outside...
Kangxi immediately made a move to sacrifice the car to save the king. He gave up Yinzhen's legs in exchange for his son's safety, and did not allow the bondservants of the Imperial Household Department to touch a single hair of his son.
The success of all these initiatives is also inseparable from the cooperation with Jun Yilha.
Because the medicine that Dachun gave to Yinzhen was the same poison that he had put in the noodles.
The problem was not Dachun, but a medicine boy who had served Dachun and had followed him for eight years.
The medicine boy's surname was Tian Jia. His family was ordinary and his parents had a normal relationship with his in-laws. However, he was implicated in the theft of a large number of imperial gifts by Uya and was executed. The medicine boy was also executed because of Dachun's failed attempt to assassinate Yinzhen.
This is to silence someone.
He Junyi'erha made this judgment through reverse reasoning.
Here we have to mention again the use of tree diagrams and mind maps in court struggles and palace fights.
In-law relationships must be sorted out clearly, and grudges, quarrels and disputes from the previous dynasty should also be recorded.
There must be a cause and a reason for an event to proceed in a positive direction, and vice versa is also indispensable.
Sometimes, a chain of evidence that is too perfect can be a big problem.
Because the handling of the case by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was far from fair, just and perfect.
Four generations of the Tianjia clan had been bondservants in the Forbidden City. In the past two generations, they had many in-laws, including the Uya clan, Baisu clan, and Take clan, who were also bondservants of the Plain Yellow Banner, as well as the Guwaljia clan, Liljia clan, and Cuijia clan, who were bondservants of princes and nobles of the lower five banners.
It is possible that the Tianjia clan was controlled by the Baisu clan, namely the Yehenara clan.
This complements the plan of Tasker D who successively attempts to kill the Crown Princess, the Fourth Lady, the Fourth Prince, and then the First Lady's life.
Yehe hopes that a more powerful wife will come to assist the eldest prince in his bid for the throne.
It's theoretically possible, but in reality it doesn't match the reality.
Is there any more prominent family in the court today?
After Oboi's death, Suwan Guwalgiya became a lowly person and even refused military honors repeatedly, just wanting to exchange the safety of her descendants for a comeback in the future.
The Shaji Fucha clan, the rising star of the war Dong'e clan, the first noble clan of the Qing Dynasty Niuhuru clan, the Tongbanchao Tonggiya clan, and the Hesheli clan, the mother's family of the Empress and the Crown Prince, are all in her hands, and there is no legitimate daughter in their families who is suitable to become a concubine.
Kangxi himself didn't care. When he was looking for a wife for his son, he never even looked at a concubine's daughter.
But if Tasker D came from Yehenala, it would be extremely inconsistent with the strategic intelligence she demonstrated.
Everyone knows that Nalan Mingzhu supports the eldest prince, so why would she go to so much trouble to make a move?
So this is a trick to confuse others.
Therefore, after the incident with the wet nurse, the framework of Tasker D that she constructed in her mind was not entirely correct.
Think the opposite.
Although his origin is not prominent, he has a decent position in the long river of history that allows him to attack or defend.
Just like she, Dong E, could have the chance to have the best of both worlds and choose between the Crown Prince and the Third Prince.
So at this moment, it seems that they are sharpening their knives and pointing them at the Crown Princess and the various concubines, but it is true or false. Judging from the current situation, this intention has now become false.
It's her own fog.
"A two-headed snake."
The first strike was already vicious and cruel, but the second strike that followed was the real killing move.
"But why did she make such a choice?"
If she didn't come from a prominent family, she couldn't be the principal wife. With her mind and means...
“Because it’s hidden.”
But is it just because of concealment?
Will this secrecy turn the disadvantage of not being born into a prominent family into an advantage in the fight for succession?
There is such a ready-made example in the palace - Concubine De.
But in Hezhun Yierha's view, Uya was purely lucky to be promoted to the position by relying on her son, with whom she had a bad relationship. Uya's Defei had always been counting on the Fourteenth Prince, not the Fourth Prince.
The maternal family could not provide any help to Yinzhen, but instead became a burden.
At this time, He Junyi'erha only felt that the image of the tasker D was becoming clearer and clearer, but there was still a crucial step before the curtain could be lifted.
Without this step, the logic behind the deduction is missing.
She couldn't understand it, so she couldn't be caught out.
Just one step away.
Perhaps Tasker D also sensed the danger and she retreated.
The attempt to poison the First Concubine failed, but due to the intervention of He Zhun Yierha, the First Concubine miraculously survived until a week ago.
She also intercepted all the hallucinogenic drugs related to neurotoxins that were given to Guarjia Gefuhe.
She had no backup plan and was determined to accomplish these things at all costs. She tacitly accepted that the palace was He Junyi'erha's territory, so she decided to quit while she was ahead.
She ran away.
and so……
Back to the present, He Junyi'erha is preparing to clean up the stale tea.
It is impossible for tasker D to return empty-handed. Her goal may have been achieved 100%. What she blocked may have been only 20% of the 120%.
This old tea hidden in the Imperial Household Department is the key.
Because their final battle was destined to take place in the Forbidden City.
He Junyi'erha listened to the sharp sound of steam pushing open the kettle lid and took a deep breath.
After a brief meditation, it’s time to brew tea carefully.
After making the tea, she woke Yinreng up and gave him a bowl of porridge. When he left Yuqing Palace, Longsha should come back with the news she wanted to see.
