Soft and crispy waist

Chapter 143 What is the purpose of **?

Their eyes met, like two flashes of lightning clashing in the air, and neither of them was willing to give in.

Although Xia Zheng has forced Tao Yurong to recuperate for a period of time and is able to take charge of the entire mansion, this is only temporary.

Tao Yurong will not remain silent for too long, and the only one who can really help her gain a foothold, hold on to her tightly, and prevent her from being taken away after she comes out is the Internal Affairs Office.

To truly take charge of the Internal Affairs Office requires more than just the obedience of her subordinates. She needs to thoroughly understand the Internal Affairs Office, including those hiding under the table.

The only one who knew this was Nanny Chen.

But Nanny Chen was even more difficult to persuade than she thought, and she refused to give in for three days.

Her time is running out.

"I don't understand what Xia Surong said." Nanny Chen lowered her head and no longer looked into Xia Zheng's eyes.

"Madam, it's not that you don't understand, it's that you don't want to listen." Xia Zheng adjusted the hem of her skirt. The golden silk glaze flashed a little light that reflected the surroundings. The brilliance that could not be ignored was also a manifestation of Xia Zheng's current status.

"I understand what Madam is thinking. The Internal Affairs Office is the heart of the palace's affairs, and it touches both the front and back courtyards. It should be loyal to the Duke's Mansion and be impartial."

"But Mammy also understands that neither the Crown Prince's wife nor the Crown Prince have any objection to my managing the Internal Affairs Office, including the aunt. Moreover, in everyone's eyes, everyone in the Internal Affairs Office is already tied to me."

"It's not impossible to rotate internal affairs personnel."

"What about you, Mammy?"

Nanny Chen fell silent.

Looking at the hem of Xia Zheng's skirt, Nanny Chen knew that Xia Zheng had been targeting her from the very beginning.

She seemed to be silent, but in fact, her every move was under her nose, so she knew what she had checked.

That day, in Zhou Lin's yard, she was asked to take out the list in front of others, and then Shuangxue brought the Zhou family's list. In the eyes of others, she was Xia Zheng's person, and she checked the list according to Xia Zheng's instructions.

No matter how she explained, it was useless; the yellow mud had already entered her crotch.

***Even if I knew, I wouldn't use hers again.

"The villain can also be replaced."

"Of course I can change it, but wouldn't Madam Madam have to hand over everything to the new person? Or do you think there's someone else who can run the Internal Affairs Office better than me?"

Although Nanny Chen didn't want to admit it, there was indeed no better candidate than Xia Zheng.

Tao Yurong's people are not good enough, the prince is partial to Xia Zheng and won't send anyone, and ***...

Looking out the window, the other servants were eating the cakes and snacks brought by Xia Zheng, all with smiling faces. If they were to replace them at this time, it would be bad for the Internal Affairs Office.

"His Highness asked Madam to be in charge of the Internal Affairs Office for the Duke's Mansion. Madam, by helping me, you are also helping the Crown Prince and the Duke's Mansion, so that the mansion will be more stable."

Hearing the word "***" coming out of Xia Zheng's mouth, Nanny Chen immediately became alert. "Did the prince say that to Su Rong?"

"The prince hasn't returned home in the past few days, how can I tell you?" Xia Zheng slowly picked up the tea, took a sip, and swallowed it before continuing: "Besides, such matters can be guessed. The Internal Affairs Office is so important that if it weren't for a place that the prince's consort couldn't control, they wouldn't have handed it over to me."

If you can't hold on to your position after four years, then you can only be a ***.

"Su Rong and the Crown Prince's Consort don't seem to be as close as people say." Nanny Chen stared at Xia Zheng and asked.

"I'm afraid we'll be at loggerheads in the future." Xia Zheng smiled easily, as if it was no big deal.

And in fact, it was indeed so. Ever since she knew Tao Yurong's true purpose, she wanted to survive in this Duke's Mansion and wanted Ruanruan to stay by her side and live well, so she could not avoid fighting with Tao Yurong.

"Su Rong, aren't you afraid that you will force me into a corner? I'll go see the Crown Prince's Consort."

Xia Zheng smiled and shook her head. "Your Highness and the Crown Prince's Consort are worse off than me and the Crown Prince's Consort. Nanny Chen will not disobey Your Highness."

Nanny Chen was displeased with the feeling of being completely seen through by Xia Zheng. Looking around, she felt like a trapped dog. If she didn't surrender today, she might not be able to get out.

"Actually, Madam, there's no need to be so black and white. Helping me doesn't mean you're betraying His Highness. Right now, His Highness isn't involved in the affairs of the mansion, and the Crown Prince is rising through the ranks, while the outside world is in turmoil. Although I don't understand much, I do know that no matter what His Highness decides to do, the stability of the Duke's Mansion will benefit His Highness. Otherwise, it will be a burden."

Seeing that Nanny Chen didn't move but didn't refute her, Xia Zheng continued, "Besides, Your Highness is extremely intelligent. Since you approved this matter, do you think you wouldn't have imagined the outcome? Since Your Highness hasn't stopped it until now, doesn't that mean you tacitly approve it?"

"Madam, you know His Highness better than I do. Please think about it yourself, but time is running out. The Crown Princess has already summoned the court physician today." After saying that, Xia Zheng stood up and left, but did not take away the pastries on the table.

As I walked out of the door, I saw Nanny Chen reach out and take a piece out of the corner of my eye.

It is done.

*** people are really hard to deal with.

Nanny Chen, who was not given a high position, was so loyal and devoted, and didn't even lean towards Gu Yizi at all. Xia Zheng couldn't imagine how strong the people under ***'s command were.

I have never understood why *** doesn't care about the Duke's Mansion, and doesn't seem to care much about Gu Yizi, but he has made arrangements for the affairs of the inner courtyard several times. What is the reason?

What is the purpose of ***?

At the same time, in the Yangxin Palace in the palace.

*** and Gu Yi walked out of the hall one after another.

After walking down the long steps, Gu Yizi quickened his pace and walked past *** like a stranger.

"The fire-making maid in your house is quite capable." *** said with a smile.

Gu Yizi paused, turned around, and looked at *** with a warning look in his eyes. "Isn't this what Mother wanted? If she's useless, wouldn't it be a waste of Mother's arrangement?"

"Why do you have to talk to your mother like this? When you were little, you were very attached to me."

"My son will remember my mother's teachings. The first thing a powerful person should do is to sever ties with his family. I will never forget it."

There is a war between mother and son.

Finally, the empress relented and said, "Since that's the case, then you must obey my orders. You've seen that His Majesty's body is in a state of decline, and things will soon change. Mother knows that His Majesty has given you a secret decree a few days ago. Mother hopes that you can turn into a dragon when the storm comes. If you fail..."

"I won't be a burden to you, mother. Don't worry." Gu Yizi interrupted her coldly, "I also ask you to accompany the Queen Mother well during this period and not be distracted."

After the words fell, Gu Yizi did not hesitate for a moment, turned around and walked away resolutely.

"Your Highness." Nanny Qin beside him walked forward and called softly with concern.

"It's okay. The child is older now and naturally not as obedient. He's not wrong in major matters. As for that fire-making girl, since he likes her, let's keep her."
