Anning, while educating her three children, did not forget to keep an eye on Mrs. Song and Ms. Zhang.
After Zhang Feng'er was reprimanded by Mrs. Song once and almost miscarried as she returned, Anning paid even more attention to this mother-in-law and daughter-in-law pair.
Naturally, Anning's attention indeed led her to discover something.
It turned out that at a time when Dowager Fu Gui was increasingly falling out of favor in the palace and the Fu Family was desperately floundering, Ms. Zhang considered stabbing them in the back secretly. She planned to pave the way for her daughter Tang Ying, encouraging her to seek favors from Emperor Yong Guang, in order to be granted the title of a consort.
Ms. Zhang's reliance was on Prince Lao Yizhong, who was a son of Emperor Jianyuan and the former Crown Prince's orphan from a concubine, and the news of a daughter born to a concubine married into the Fu Family.
