The Noble Consort is the most favored in the harem

Chapter 113 - Killing to Vent Anger

So even though she appeared imposing in the eyes of outsiders,

In front of Prime Minister Lin, she remained a gentle and kind-hearted wife.

"The second daughter-in-law has become quite skilled; is a mere brush worth making such a fuss?"

Although she held a disdainful view of her daughter-in-law's actions, Princess Rongkang still had to conceal her feelings.

With a faint smile, she said, "Prime Minister, don't be angry. Perhaps there was some misunderstanding inside, which led to this commotion. Why don't I go take a look? You've just returned and should rest more."

If he got involved at this time, wouldn't it be disadvantageous for the second household?

Thus, Princess Rongkang's tone carried a hint of favoritism.

Prime Minister Lin glanced at her and quickly understood.

He was well aware of the political maneuvering in the court; what were a few tricks from the women in the inner court?

He wasn't entirely ignorant of the hardships the first household had faced over the years.

He only felt anger at their lack of ambition, sorrow for their misfortune, and couldn't be bothered to intervene.

After all, he still had the bloodline of the second household to carry on.

But today, he realized the first household's grievances had long been accumulating, leading to such an explosive outbreak.

It seemed they had suffered in front of Ronghetang and the West Courtyard more often than not.

He cast a deep look at Princess Rongkang, then walked directly to his chambers without saying another word.

This was the first time Princess Rongkang had been treated so coldly; her vigilance tightened.

Turning to Steward Lin, who followed behind Prime Minister Lin, she quietly inquired, "What happened?"

Steward Lin did not dare to withhold any information and quickly recounted the recent events.

When he mentioned Lin Muzhi being struck on the back of the head and currently in a coma, Princess Rongkang felt her anger boiling over.

"Fool! Utterly foolish!"

She was naturally scolding the second daughter-in-law, Wang Shi.

Clearly, they could have made them useless but insisted on taking the most inferior route.

As a result, the East Wing not only garnered sympathy but might even benefit from this.

It was simply the height of stupidity!

Yet she had to maintain an appearance of concern.

"What about Third Young Master now? Has the imperial physician come to take a look?"

"The Prime Minister has already instructed someone to summon the imperial physician, but he hasn't arrived yet."

Upon hearing this, Princess Rongkang couldn't help but wish for the imperial physician to be delayed even longer on his way.

Since the situation had already escalated, and they bore the reputation of injuring a legitimate son,

Why not just let him die? They could always find someone to take the blame later.

"That's good, that's good. How are those troublemakers from the second household? Have they been tied up?"

"They've been restrained. However, the old servant, Wang Momo, who was attending to the second madam is gone."
