Don't be a salted fish, the daily life of the concubine in the palace

Chapter 55: The superiors never care about the disputes between ants

When the princess heard the Prince of Yan's slightly doubtful words, she felt relieved.

The princess thought Shen Wei would strike while the iron was hot and complain to the King of Yan. However, seeing the King of Yan's expression, Shen Wei did not tell the prince what happened today.

The princess secretly mocked in her heart, thinking that Shen Wei was really timid and was destined to achieve nothing great.

The princess informed the two of their identities: "Your Highness, this woman is Zhang from the Rose Garden, and next to her is Sanlang, the groom of the palace."

Prince Yan stared at Zhang Yue's unfamiliar face and seemed to have some impression of her.

It took me a while to remember that it was the pregnant concubine.

Prince Yan had a very bad impression of Zhang Yue. He believed that Zhang Yue was greedy, vain, cunning and vicious. Even if she got pregnant by chance, Prince Yan would not pay any attention to her.

Zhang Yue collapsed on the ground, her heart sinking to the bottom. She thought she could regain the favor of the princess by exposing Shen Wei's affair. Unexpectedly, she and Sanlang were arrested by the princess in less than half a day.

The prince looked at her with strange and disgusted eyes... Zhang Yue felt cold in her heart. The prince didn't even remember her face. Even if Shen Wei fell, could she, Zhang Yue, really be favored?

"Someone, bring in the maid Fang'er." The princess sat in the empty seat next to Prince Yan and gave the order loudly.

Nanny Liu brought her maid Fang'er into the room.

The princess said calmly, "Fang'er, convey to the prince what you told me today."

Fang Er knelt down and kowtowed heavily: "I have reported Zhang Yue for having an affair and defiling the palace. This crime is unforgivable!"

The interior is quiet.

After bowing again, Fang'er continued, "Zhang Yue was jealous of Master Shen's favor and framed Master Shen today. Fortunately, the princess saw through everything and cleared Master Shen's name."

Prince Yan frowned and looked at Shen Wei.

Shen Wei smiled weakly: "Don't worry, my lord. The princess is very observant and has cleared my name."

The prince of Yan thought of the red marks on Shen Wei's wrist. Could it be that the princess had sent someone to do this? The prince of Yan wanted to ask in detail, but Zhang Yue had already started to cry and argue: "Your Majesty, please understand! The child in my belly is really yours!"

The sound was so sharp that it gave King Yan a headache.

Fang Er kowtowed hurriedly: "Your Highness! I have been serving in the Rose Garden for many days, and I have seen the groom Sanlang enter Zhang Yue's room many times, and the two of them were secretly having an affair!"

Zhang Yue was terrified, tears streaming down her face. "Your Majesty, I am innocent. For the sake of the baby in my belly, please investigate!"

Zhang Yue kept begging for mercy, and Fang'er swore in retaliation, and Sanlang was already trembling with fear.

The King of Yan was so annoyed by the noise that he put down his teacup and said, "Whether it is true or not, we will know after sending it to the Tiger Guards' Execution Hall for a trial."

The torture hall was where the Tiger Guards interrogated prisoners. Most people went in vertically and came out skinny.

The Tiger Guards were different from the ordinary guards in the palace. They were the private guards of the Prince of Yan, responsible for executing the orders issued by the Prince of Yan and protecting his safety.

The palace guards outside the house received the order and dragged Zhang Yue and Sanlang out of the main house. The two cried and begged for mercy, but the guards simply cut off their jaws.

Dragged out of the Glass Pavilion like dragging garbage.

Shen Wei was secretly shocked. She thought Fang'er and Zhang Yue would argue for a long time. But in fact, Zhang Yue just made a few excuses and King Yan was no longer interested in listening.

Those in power never bother to care about the disputes among ants.

"Your Highness is wise." The princess stood up and slowly saluted the Prince of Yan. "It is getting late. Cheng Ke and Cheng Zhen will return from class. I will leave first."

Zhang Yue and Sanlang were captured and will not survive the night.

Now that the two men were dead, Shen Wei did not dare to complain to Prince Yan, so the princess had no worries.

The princess felt relieved and wanted to leave with Nanny Liu and the maid.

Just after taking two steps, the cold voice of the King of Yan came: "The Queen Mother has been unwell this year. The Princess should copy three volumes of Buddhist scriptures and send them to the Queen Mother tomorrow."

The princess' body suddenly shook.

She turned around in surprise and saw the King of Yan sitting on the main seat. The King of Yan had a handsome face, and the black-gold crown on his head reflected cold light. He looked solemn and dignified, like an emotionless statue.

Strange and distant.

The princess' heart suddenly tightened. The prince of Yan must have guessed what she and Zhang Yue were planning, and also guessed that she was deliberately shirking responsibility...

Copying three volumes of Buddhist scriptures was her punishment. It was a punishment for her being a mistress of the palace, but being harsh to her concubines and not being able to distinguish right from wrong.

"I...I understand." The princess' knees went weak.

Nanny Liu supported the princess and left the Liuli Pavilion step by step.

The sun was blinding. Madam Liu looked at the princess' pale face and said worriedly, "Princess, the prince is warning you. Could it be that Shen Wei deliberately instigated this and secretly complained?"

The princess shook her head: "That Shen Wei is short-sighted, how could she have such ability... The prince just hates me."

The husband and wife become alienated and dislike each other.

When Prince Yan doesn't love someone, even her breathing is wrong.

"I was careless this time." The princess rubbed her temple tiredly, "Don't bother with the affairs of Liuli Pavilion anymore. Shen Wei is of humble origin. Even if she gets pregnant and has a child, she will never threaten my position."

In fact, if you think about it carefully, she has two sons and one daughter, and has the support of the Tan Tai family. Shen Wei, an ordinary peasant girl, cannot threaten her.

only...

The princess' mind flashed with the image of Prince Yan and Shen Wei's clasped hands. She still felt a little sad in her heart. She still cared about the prince's affection with other women.

Once upon a time, she was as beautiful as a flower, had just married into the palace, and had a happy and loving life with the Prince of Yan. She naively thought that the two of them could love each other forever.

Unfortunately, time is merciless, she is old and ugly, and the King of Yan's heart is attracted by those flower-like newcomers. She tried hard to save the relationship, but it was of no avail.

In the end, she was completely disappointed with King Yan and poured all her energy into her children.
