Chapter 407 Before the Storm (1)
"Ah... me? I don't know if it will work." Concubine Zhang suppressed the joy in her heart and said modestly.
"Sister, you are overthinking. Not only are you smart, but you also have the best family background among the sisters in the palace. His Majesty always says that he relies more on the Duke of England in the court. In the harem, your sister is certainly as capable as any man. Sister, please don't refuse anymore. If you really can't make up your mind, discuss it with the Crown Princess and other sisters. His Majesty is not in the palace now, so there is less to do." Concubine Wang flattered and persuaded her.
Concubine Zhang seemed to be persuaded. "Sister, you know I don't like these things. This time I really can't bear to see you suffering so much despite your illness. I thought that I can't share the burden for you. I really don't want to take advantage of the opportunity. When you recover, I will definitely exchange them all with you without saying a word." Concubine Zhang immediately began to show her loyalty.
Concubine Wang looked understanding, "I know, I know. We have been sisters for many years, how could I not know what kind of person you are? Don't worry, I dared to let my sister come because I trust you." After saying that, Concubine Wang coughed a few more times, and Yunqi immediately brought some warm water to help her calm down.
"Sister, I'm sorry to bother you for a long time. You should have a good rest. I will come to see you again in a few days." Seeing that things were almost progressing, Concubine Zhang prepared to leave.
"Sister, cough cough cough, go slowly, cough cough, I'll let the Crown Princess take care of the matter just now in the next two days." Concubine Wang gave her another reassurance at the end.
After Concubine Zhang walked out of the Yiku Palace, she could no longer hide the smile on her face.
"I really didn't expect that she would be so understanding this time. I just mentioned it and she agreed. I haven't finished what I wanted to say yet. But it's good too. This way I can save myself a lot of words." Concubine Zhang was still very happy when she thought about what happened just now.
The maid who was supporting her at the side was a little skeptical and said, "Why do I feel that this matter is a little too smooth? In the past, Concubine Wang rarely gave up her power. This time she is so easy to talk to. Is there something strange?"
"I think you're just overthinking. You didn't see her face just now, and she coughed after saying a few words. This time it's probably not good. She probably knows it herself, so she's easy to talk to this time." Concubine Zhang continued, "Just like she said, in terms of position and family background, I'm not the only one in the palace. Who else can she let come? Speaking of which, if she wasn't one of the few people who knew etiquette and was smooth in dealing with things, the late queen wouldn't have trained her so much. I should be the one to take over the late queen's job."
"Your Majesty, we can just talk about this in our own palace. It would be bad if others heard it." The maid looked around and luckily, everyone around her was her own people.
"What are you afraid of? The situation in this palace will change soon." Concubine Zhang has great confidence in her brother.
"Your Majesty, please be cautious. Didn't the Duke also say so? Now is a critical moment. We must keep calm."
"I know. By the way, what did my brother say?"
"The Duke said that the people will be back in ten days at most, so we should control the hidden dangers in the palace."
"The one in the Yikun Palace is already a sickly person, and poses no threat. The more important ones are the Crown Princess of the East Palace and the one in the Crown Prince's Palace. Wait, when I have the power to manage the harem, it will be easy to deal with them."
