She was of higher birth than Concubine Shu, and was a representative of the Qingliu faction in the harem. Her personality was gentle and generous, and she never quarreled with others. Emperor Zhaoming even respected her more than Concubine Shu.
Before the eighth princess was born, Concubine Wen was already the head of the first palace. After the eighth princess was born, even though she was just a princess, Emperor Zhaoming still granted her the title of concubine.
Moreover, the Eighth Princess was the only daughter among all the royal princesses who was granted marriage by Emperor Zhaoming himself.
Even when the most favored Thirteenth Princess came into conflict with her, Emperor Zhaoming never showed favoritism. Instead, he always protected the Eighth Princess intentionally or unintentionally, causing the Thirteenth Princess to suffer several secret losses.
Don't look at position, just look at the details over the years.
Who dares to say that Concubine Wen and her daughter are not favored in the palace?
Concubine Shu had always been hostile to Concubine Wen and was always on guard against her. This was because she saw Emperor Zhaoming's love for Concubine Wen and her daughter and was worried that they would shake her position.
Hu Hongzhi only knew one of these things but not the other.
That's not what the people from Jinhua Palace said when they came to him and conspired with him to plot against the eighth princess.
Hu Hongzhi remembers it very clearly.
The faceless woman hiding behind the screen said: "Master Hu, don't worry, as long as you do what I say, even if the incident comes to light in the end, you will already have a good relationship with the Eighth Princess!"
When the time comes, it will be useless even if Concubine Wen gets angry again.
As long as you take possession of the eighth princess and ruin her reputation in public, she will have no other choice but to marry you.
Concubine Wen was also a smart person. She always loved her daughter and would never let the eighth princess suffer.
By then, Mr. Hu will be Empress Wen’s confirmed son-in-law. As long as you rely on the Eighth Princess, Empress Wen will neither know nor dare to do anything to you. Instead, she will try to please you and beg you to be good to her daughter.
a little!"
Hu Hongzhi was moved by these words.
He thought it made sense.
As long as he gets the eighth princess's body, it's a done deal. What will happen if Concubine Wen gets angry again?
Could she still kill her prospective son-in-law?
impossible.
As long as he survives this test, he can marry a princess and become a consort without any effort. Not to mention enjoying a life of glory and wealth, even if he wants to be an official, the eighth princess and her mother's family will only have full support.
he.
Who gave Concubine Wen only this one daughter?
If he doesn't have a son, wouldn't a son-in-law be just a son? Then all the benefits will belong to him.
A huge profit, no matter how you calculate it, he has made a lot of money.
Hu Hongzhi was very excited. He hit it off with the people in Jinhua Palace and discussed specific actions.
As a result, God's calculations are worse than those of man...
Things that were originally planned did not come to pass, but were exposed in advance.
Now facing Concubine Wen's questioning, he doesn't have the eighth princess as a shield, so what will he do on his own? How can he get away with it?
Hu Hongzhi panicked and broke into cold sweat.
Concubine Shu said displeasedly: "Concubine Wen, if you want to ask, just ask. Don't yell here, showing off your prestige to who?"
Concubine Wen ignored her and only looked at Hu Hongzhi coldly: "I don't have much patience, and I only have this chance. Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"
Everyone's eyes turned to Hu Hongzhi.
Xiao Lingyue was also standing in the crowd. She knew who was behind the scenes, but it was useless to tell her.
It must be identified by Hu Hongzhi himself.
Hu Hongzhi almost cried: "I...I really don't know. I didn't see that person's face clearly. Please forgive me..."
"In that case." Concubine Wen narrowed her eyes slightly, "Someone, drag him down and put him to death!"
