Traveling through time and space to become a concubine: I just want to live a leisurely life
Chapter 18 The Grievances Behind the Truth
Li Qing raised his head slightly and looked at King Xuan calmly, then moved his gaze to Su Wan beside him, and a strong hatred gradually emerged in his eyes.
Her voice was a whisper at first, but gradually became sharper.
"Why do you do this? Hahaha...of course it's for revenge!
You are the prince, and we are all your women, but do you know what kind of life we lead?"
There was a hint of despair and bitterness in Li Qing's voice.
"Three years ago yesterday, I accidentally bumped into Su Wan, and she punished me by making me kneel under the scorching sun for a whole day.
My unborn child has left me like this.
After she found out, she refused to allow anyone to call a doctor for me. I barely managed to survive.
However, she refused to give up and secretly sent someone to give me a sterilizing drug, making it impossible for me to have children in this life."
At this point, Li Qing's tears burst out like a dam breaking.
After hearing this, Su Wan's face turned very ugly. She twisted the handkerchief tightly with her fingers, stared at Li Qing, and angrily said, "You are talking nonsense! Do you think you can get away with it by making up some old stories and linking them to me?"
After that, she turned to King Xuan and said coquettishly: “My lord, please don’t believe her nonsense;
I made her kneel down as punishment, but I didn't know she was pregnant! I didn't know anything about the rest.
It wasn't me who did it, she was just framing me."
At this time, the princess said with a cold face: "Since the murderer has been found and she is talking nonsense, then let's beat her to death!"
Chu Mengyao thought that she couldn't be allowed to continue talking, as she always felt uneasy in her heart.
King Xuan frowned and fell into deep thought.
Just as the guard was about to step forward and drag Li Qing away, he suddenly raised his hand to stop him and said, "Wait, let her continue."
Sure enough, her premonition was correct. At this time, Li Qing's reckless voice sounded again.
"Hahaha, do you think that if you kill me, no one will know how vicious you are? I don't want to live anymore, hahaha!
Everyone thinks that they can enjoy endless wealth and splendor once they enter the palace;
But who knew that this palace was actually a wolf’s den full of dangers?
When you are in favor, everyone wants to plot against you; when you are out of favor, everyone wants to step on you.
Every day I eat leftovers, and my life is even worse than that of a servant."
Chu Mengyao's face turned dark after hearing this, and she slammed her hand on the table with a "bang" sound.
"You are so bold! I think you have lost your mind..."
King Xuan raised his hand to stop the rest of the words. After hearing Li Qing's words, King Xuan's face became extremely gloomy.
"Why didn't you report your situation to the princess?"
"Hahaha, do you think I didn't say that?
The consequence of saying it was that I went hungry for two days, and after that I never dared to say it again.
Hehehe! You may not know this yet, but your good princess loves nothing more than watching the concubines fighting with each other."
"Shut up." Chu Mengyao shouted angrily.
She didn't expect that she would fall into the hands of a little concubine.
"Why should I shut up? I'm going to speak! Anyway, I'm dying, and I'm going to tell you all these things even if I die today!
I also know that you often deliberately instigated them to fight each other." Li Qing continued to shout as if he had risked everything.
"Hahaha~~, you didn't expect that, did you? I know everything."
She just wanted to make their lives miserable, she just wanted to bring out all the filth.
When Chu Mengyao heard this, she was so angry that her hands began to tremble slightly.
But he couldn't execute the bitch immediately in front of the prince, so he could only grit his teeth and say, "You want to die, but have you ever thought about your family? What will happen to them if you die?"
Chu Mengyao thought she could manipulate her family to make them feel cautious, but she didn't expect...
"Hahaha, do you think I'm still afraid? My father is dead, dead, and he died of illness.
Isn’t it ridiculous that my daughter is a concubine in the palace?
But my father had no money to see a doctor, and in the end his minor illness turned into a major one, and he died.”
Shen Jingyi felt very depressed when she heard this, and felt it was not worth it for them.
Although concubines in this era could not be bought, sold or given away at will like in the previous dynasties, they would still be bullied if they met a bad mistress.
Besides, no wife would like a creature like a concubine.
In general, I have too much free time. When I have nothing to do, I like to think about some harmful ideas.
King Xuan listened to their conversation and knew what else he didn't know, so he looked around and glanced at everyone present.
I saw two people wiping their tears quietly, and looking at the way they were dressed, I knew that their situation was probably not very good.
Great, very good. So this is how his princess manages the backyard.
"Chu Mengyao, Su Wan, do you have anything else to say?"
Hearing this, the two of them hurriedly stood up and knelt on the ground, shouting in unison:
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. Ever since I married you, I have been doing my best to take care of the backyard and have never dared to slack off.
She is wrongly accusing me, saying that every household has a few unruly servants."
Su Wan also said: "Your Majesty, Li Qing deliberately wronged me. Someone must have bribed her to harm Tingting. After the incident was exposed, she started to talk nonsense in an attempt to disrupt the palace and get away with it.
Yes, that must be the case.”
Chu Mengyao: "Your Majesty, I have been with you for many years and have given birth to your children. You can't just believe other people's slander."
However, the prince remained unmoved and said coldly: “I will judge the right and wrong myself, but you may not know it.
In fact, I have already noticed what she said, but due to the lack of solid evidence and out of consideration for the children, I gave you a chance to reform."
After that, Lord Xuan looked around, sweeping his eyes over everyone present, and then pointedly said to a few of them: "You too, don't think that I know nothing about what you have done!"
Some people lowered their heads guiltily after hearing this, while others held on, thinking that what she did was very secretive and would not be discovered.
"Li Qing actually dared to murder the princess of the royal palace. His crime is truly heinous! Someone, give him a cup of poisoned wine and execute him immediately!"
The prince's voice was cold and majestic, making people shudder.
After hearing this, Li Qing turned pale and trembled all over, but he still suppressed his fear and pleaded with Master Xuan: "Your Majesty, can you show mercy and let me be buried with my father... This is my last wish, please fulfill it."
King Xuan frowned slightly, and after a moment of silence, he finally nodded;
"Okay, I'll do as you wish." After saying that, he waved his hand to signal the guards to bring the poisoned wine to Li Qing.
"Thank you, Your Highness." After saying this, he picked up the poisoned wine in front of him and drank it without hesitation.
After dealing with Li Qing, the prince turned to look at the nurse beside him and said, "Although you were coerced, you are still an accomplice. Give me a bowl of mute medicine and sell it out. You are not allowed to step into the palace again!"
The nurse burst into tears and kowtowed repeatedly to apologize, but it was of no avail.
Soon someone took the two people who had drunk the medicine away.
Then, the prince's eyes fell on the princess, a trace of disgust flashed in his eyes, and he said sternly: "As a princess, you can't even manage the palace. From now on, you will stay in the main courtyard and don't have to interfere in the affairs of the palace."
The princess' face turned pale when she heard this. She could not accept such a treatment and shouted excitedly: "No, Your Majesty, you can't do this to me! I am your first wife!"
The prince's face was as gloomy as water, and he was not moved at all: "It is precisely because you are my first wife that I am so tolerant. If it were someone else, I'm afraid it would not be as simple as seizing power."
Then he looked at Su Wan and said, "Concubine Su is confined to her own courtyard. She is not allowed to come out without my order."
"Your Majesty, I refuse to accept this! Today's incident clearly has nothing to do with me, why do you want to confine me? Isn't today's purpose to try the murderer who murdered Tingting?"
King Xuan glared at her and said coldly, "Humph! Ask yourself, is this really nothing to do with you? Needless to say, house arrest is the lightest punishment.
If you dare to cause trouble again, don't blame me for being ruthless!"
Concubine Su wanted to say something else, but when she saw King Xuan's cold eyes, she had to shut her mouth.
Then, King Xuan was heard to say, "Concubine Shen has made great contributions in saving the little princess. She will be rewarded with a pair of southern pearls, and Qiu Ju will be rewarded with a hundred taels of silver."
When everyone heard about the reward for Shen Jingyi, they secretly hated her. These South Pearls were tributes from foreign countries, and there were only a few of them. Their prince only had these two, and now they were given away like this. They were so jealous!
Especially Su Wan, because she had asked for it before, but the prince didn't give it to her.
But now it was given to Shen Jingyi, so he looked at her with resentment.
Shen Jingyi automatically blocked out those envious and jealous looks, and happily stood up to thank him: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your reward. Well, I also thank you on behalf of Qiuju."
Haha~~, I didn’t expect to watch such a big show this morning, and there was a reward at the end.
Qiu Ju was poisoned by the snake venom she inhaled. Although the doctor said it was not serious, he also said that she needed to rest well.
So Shen Jingyi gave her a week off to let her have a good rest.
King Xuan looked at the happy little woman and didn't say anything extra, just nodded.
After thinking for a while, he ordered: "Chujiu, take people to search each courtyard carefully and find out all the things that may harm people to prevent future troubles."
"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chujiu took the order and left.
The atmosphere was tense and depressing. No one dared to speak, and they secretly wondered what the prince would do next...
