The virtuous concubine was shocked. Why did the empress dowager come?

The queen shook her head, indicating that she didn't know why the queen mother came.

Not long after Concubine Xian left, the Queen Mother arrived.

When he came, he didn't say anything and just sat there. The queen didn't dare to ask any more questions.

The Empress Dowager disliked Concubine Xian before, and later disliked the Empress. In any case, the two sisters had never caught the Empress Dowager's eye.

The queen arranged for someone to invite the imperial physician and sent servants, and then she and the virtuous concubine entered the inner hall.

The Queen Mother sat on the couch with her head propped up. The two men went in and paid their respects, and the Queen Mother just nodded lightly.

"What about people?"

Knowing that the Queen Mother was asking about Jiang Nian, Concubine Xian replied, "Your Majesty, Concubine Jiang is not feeling well and is now unconscious. The imperial physician has just been called."

Hearing this, the Queen Mother said unhappily, "You are not up to the standard."

As the concubine of Prince Yan, how can she serve Prince Yan well with such a body?

If it weren't for the insistence of Prince Yan and His Majesty, she would never let such a person into Prince Yan's Mansion, not even the granddaughter of the Lin family.

"what happened?"

The Queen and Consort Xian were both aware of the matter, but they didn't know whether they should let the Queen Mother know.

Seeing that the two were silent, the Queen Mother slammed the table and said, "Why, now you don't even listen to what I say?"

"I don't dare."

When the Queen told the story, the Queen Mother's face looked obviously unhappy.

"This Jian Songyue is indeed presumptuous. Back then, she was allowed to marry into the Eastern Palace for the sake of the old marquis, but now she has forgotten her own status."

The Queen Mother has always disliked Prince Yan. Today, the Queen and Consort Xian were somewhat unsure of her thoughts.

"What do you think about the King of Yan's affairs?"

The Prince of Yan was imprisoned, which was a death row and no one who went in came out alive.

The Queen Mother looked at the Empress and asked in a deep voice, "How can you be a mother? You don't even know that your son has done such a thing?"

In order to avoid suspicion, the Queen never cared much about Prince Yan, and she basically would not interfere in what he did.

"Mother, please calm down. It's my daughter-in-law's fault."

The Queen Mother sighed: "I am not the kind of person who would be so harsh on my daughter-in-law, but you..."

Neither the Queen nor the Concubine Xian said anything, and the Queen Mother was very disappointed.

"Your Majesty is truly furious this time. Not only the Prince of Yan, but also everyone around him has been imprisoned. As the Empress Dowager, I am of no use to help."

The Queen Mother knew His Majesty's temperament. If this matter was true, the Prince of Yan would probably...

On the other side, Princess Jin, who brought Amber into the palace, went to Concubine Ru's palace.

Concubine Chen was demoted to a concubine because of the Chen family's affairs. After the Chen family was dealt with, she was promoted to a concubine. Now she has nothing in her hands, and only the empty shell of Concubine Ru is left.

From being the high and mighty Concubine Chen who was in charge of the harem, to being the Concubine Ru who is looked down upon by everyone, how could she be willing to accept such a huge drop in status?

But he was unwilling and dared not say it out loud, so he could only scold the palace maids and his daughter-in-law in the palace.

Princess Jin came today under the pretext of visiting Concubine Ru, so naturally she had to go and see her.

As soon as she stepped in, she saw the palace was in a mess. The palace maids were cleaning it up silently. Concubine Ru looked at her gloomily.

Princess Jin stepped forward and saluted. Princess Ru said coldly, "You entered the palace but went to the Queen's first. What's the matter? Seeing that I've lost my power, you're rushing to curry favor with the Queen? I'm telling you, you're my daughter-in-law. Even if it means carrying my shoes, you have to carry them for me."

Princess Jin lowered her head and explained, "Mother, you misunderstood. I didn't go to the Queen's Palace. I just happened to run into the virtuous concubine. I couldn't leave, so I talked to her for a while."

"How dare you quibble! Get down on your knees!"

Princess Jin knelt down resignedly, and the palace maids in the hall tactfully withdrew.

"Snapped!"

Princess Jin was slapped so hard that she almost fell to her knees. Her face felt burning with pain and she bit her lip to hold back her tears.

"You are the Princess of Jin. It's fine if you are of no use to the Prince of Jin, but you run around outside all day. Don't forget that your whole family is in my hands!"

Their Chen family has fallen, but that doesn't mean they are left with no one. It is more than enough to crush a small marquis's mansion.

Princess Jin gritted her teeth. It was clearly Concubine Ru who decided the marriage. She had never thought of marrying into the Prince Jin's Mansion. Now she thinks that she is of no help to the Prince of Jin, who can she blame?

"Do you think you can rest easy just because the Chen family is down? Dream on! Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

Princess Jin was pale and didn't dare to speak.

Jiang Nian was right. According to Ru Fei's personality, if she failed to accomplish anything, she would take out her anger on her. If she really ended up in a dead end in the future, she would not be able to escape.

Concubine Ru took a whip from the bed and hit her hard.

"You are the wife of the Prince of Jin. You can't leave the Prince of Jin's mansion for the rest of your life. Do you think you can get rid of me by marrying the Queen? What is the Queen? She is just a bitch despised by His Majesty. If you want her to save you, wait for the next life."

Another whip hit her body, and Princess Jin couldn't help but cry out in pain.

Hearing the sound, Concubine Ru seemed to be stimulated and whipped her again and again until the Princess of Jin could no longer kneel and fell to the ground. Only then did she vent her anger.

Princess Jin couldn't stand up by herself, so she called someone outside, "Carry her down, apply some medicine, and make sure no one sees her."

Princess Jin was carried to a side hall. Because this matter could not be known to outsiders and the imperial physician could not be called, the nanny beside her helped apply the medicine with red eyes.

"My lady, you have suffered."

When the Prince of Jin was in power, the princess did not benefit from it. In the past, the prince was lustful and the mansion was full of women. The princess not only had to help arrange those women, but was also looked down upon by the women in the mansion.

The Marquis worked hard for the Chen family, but not only did he not get any benefits, he was also threatened everywhere.

Whenever Prince Jin and Concubine Ru were unhappy, they would take it out on the princess.

A princess who doesn't act like a princess at all, but more like a servant being ordered around.

Now that the Chen family has fallen, Concubine Ru doesn't dare to get involved with others, so she treats the princess as a punching bag. Whenever she is unhappy, she either beats or scolds her. She feels heartbroken when she sees it.

"Princess, I will apply medicine to you. Please bear with the pain."

The nanny took off her clothes, and saw the new and old wounds on her back intertwined together. The nanny couldn't help crying when she saw it.

After applying the medicine, Princess Jin slowly put on her clothes and asked with a pale face, "How is Jiang Nian doing?"

"Don't worry, Princess. I've quietly asked around. The virtuous concubine has gone to the Eastern Palace with the Queen's decree. She should be able to bring her back soon."

Princess Jin breathed a sigh of relief: "That's good."

Although she didn't know why the Crown Princess took Jiang Nian away, if something happened to Prince Yan, it would be safest for him to stay with the Queen.

After all, she is the biological mother of Prince Yan. Even if their relationship is not good, at least he will not harm her.

"Princess, let's leave quickly. I'm afraid Concubine Ru will cause trouble for you again."

Princess Jin gave a bitter laugh and said, "Go back? There's Princess Ru in the palace and Prince Jin outside the palace. It's the same wherever you go."
