The Virtuous Concubine
Chapter 317: Promotion
Wen Xian stamped his feet in anger and said, "You are so confused! Is their hard work really hard? Look at them one by one, do they look like they are working hard? Even if we take a step back, they have done their part, can that offset their mistakes? If we don't punish them severely today, they will only become more unscrupulous in the future!"
However, the princesses remained hesitant.
Wen Xian looked at their weak appearance, feeling disappointed and helpless.
She gritted her teeth and said, "Since you are so soft-hearted, I will be the villain. These slaves must be punished, otherwise the princess will never have dignity in this palace!"
As soon as Wen Xian finished speaking, the servants in the yard realized that they might not be able to escape death today, and they did their best to make a fuss.
Some cried and wailed, telling of their difficulties; others tried to find opportunities to escape and find their masters to suppress Wen Xian.
The scene was in chaos. Wen Xian looked at the messy servants and her anger grew stronger. She shouted, "Be quiet! Anyone who dares to move will be punished more severely!"
The army bred from the dogs that the prince gave to Yonghe Palace were all very clever. They even rushed forward and bit off the flesh from the thighs of two maids who were trying to knock on the door.
Many people were frightened at the sight of blood, and gradually calmed down. At this time, an elderly maid stood up, knelt on the ground, and said, "Princess, please calm down. We old slaves know we were wrong. Please forgive us this time. We will serve you wholeheartedly and never do it again."
Wen Xian looked at her coldly and said, "Can I still believe what you say? I don't believe that this is not the first time you have made a mistake."
The maid kowtowed immediately and said, "Your Highness, I guarantee with my life that I will never do it again. If there is a next time, Your Highness will deal with it."
Just when Wen Xian was in a dilemma and the situation was at a stalemate, a light cough was heard.
Everyone turned around and saw the Fourth Prince Yinzhen, Yinzuo and several guards walking over.
Yinzhen frowned slightly when he saw the chaotic scene in front of him, while Yinzuo looked around curiously, not understanding what was going on.
Yinzhen looked serious, and his eyes swept over the people present. Seeing this, the servants knelt down and kowtowed, not daring to breathe.
If they rely on their seniority and see clearly the power of Wen Xian as a princess, the Fourth Beile before them is the real King of Hell!
If I really make a scene in front of him, I won’t be able to save my life!
Seeing that the Fourth Prince had such a strong aura, Yinzuo was actually surprised - there was something wrong with the Fourth Prince. When he got angry, he was intimidating without even getting angry. These servants didn't even dare to hide and were directly stepped on by the Fourth Prince?
But when he looked back, he found that the guards behind his fourth brother had already drawn their swords. He shook his head helplessly. It seemed that these people were just afraid of death.
Wen Xian was delighted to see his fourth brother and Yin Zuo coming, and he quickly went forward to greet them. "Why are you here?"
Yinzhen frowned slightly and said, "If I hadn't come, how long would the chaos here last? What on earth is going on?"
Wen Xian briefly recounted what had happened, and then she burst into tears and threw herself into Yinzuo's arms, no longer looking at the princess sisters who had stabbed her in the back.
Yinzhen naturally knew that some people were just like this and didn't know what was good for them! While enjoying Wen Xian's help, they also stepped on Wen Xian to show their generosity and mercy. These slaves are also like this, taking advantage of your care about your reputation, and repeatedly trampling on your bottom line!
In my previous life... How many times had I suffered such losses?
He looked at Wen Xian and felt that he saw himself in his previous life who was not very good at controlling his subordinates. Seeing Yin Zuo nod at him, he knew that Yin Zuo would appease Wen Xian, so he politely asked the other princesses present: "These are not servants of Yonghe Palace, so it is not easy for Wen Xian to deal with them. If anyone of you wants to punish them, just take them back."
After hearing this, the princesses who had originally begged for mercy took the lead in claiming their slaves and made them kneel behind them. It seemed that they were going to protect them.
Yinzhen didn't care. He glanced at the other princesses and saw that he didn't seem embarrassed at all. Another princess stepped forward and pulled the servant over - this servant was the one who had a piece of flesh bitten off his leg.
Very good, Yinzhen thought. Only Kejing did not move from beginning to end, staying beside Wen Xian and comforting her in a soft voice.
Seeing that the princess did not change her mind, he looked at the servants and said sternly: "You people really do not repent. The princess is kind and has spared you time and time again, but you are ungrateful."
"The princess will not punish you, but I, the prince, will not let you off lightly. Anyone who is still kneeling in the courtyard will be beaten with forty military sticks, and will be expelled from the palace regardless of life or death."
The servants in the yard were all terrified. They might as well let the princess's dog bite them a few times!
However, they did not dare to make trouble - the Fourth Prince was now in charge of the affairs of the Zhengbai and Zhenglan Banners. Although he had not yet obtained the position of banner leader, it was not a big difference. He was also in charge of the work of the Imperial Household Department - this was a unique position among the brothers under the Crown Prince.
If he says he will punish someone, then he can really punish them.
Soon the guards called the eunuchs to drag these people away. Just as the servants behind the princess breathed a sigh of relief, thinking they had escaped, the Fourth Prince sneered: "You who just caused trouble, since the princess has pleaded for you, you will be granted official titles and you will be loyal servants in your next life."
When the servants heard this, they were so frightened that their faces turned pale and they knelt down to beg for mercy.
Seeing these people so scared, Wen Xian was also stunned: "Fourth brother, what is a promotion?"
The Fourth Prince smiled and tapped her head: "Girls, stop asking questions. Go back to Yonghe Palace. I will ask for leave for today's class. I will go and talk to the Emperor in person later."
After saying this, he glanced coldly at the group of bewildered princesses, turned and left, not even caring about Yinzuo who followed them.
Yinzuo was left in this pile of women, smiling bitterly. The fourth brother must be angry with these sisters.
Yinzuo was right. The Fourth Prince was very angry. He really didn't know why his mother or Wen Xian were so nice to these people. They took great pains to let them study together. So what?
By then, it will be a dowry to be sent as a marriage alliance!
Even if we take a step back, what has this kindness been rewarded for? It's just that my kindness has been taken for granted, and none of these idiots appreciate it.
Thinking of this, he also had a headache. Wen Xian was very similar to him, she had a clear distinction between love and hate, and was brave and decisive, but she was too young. . .
I don't know how dirty and complicated people's minds are in this world. In the future, I still have to take her and Yinzuo to see more of the dark side of people's hearts, otherwise, if these slaves can't be controlled, how can they protect themselves?
Mother, you protected them too well.
The mumbling Fourth Prince forgot that if he had not been reborn, he would also be the one who was well protected by Malu.
