The queen is crazy and spoiled, and the tyrant bows to her

Chapter 278 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

"How can you be so flustered!" Ji Wuyuan put down the memorial in his hand and shouted angrily with a cold face.

Wang Fuhai didn't care about his image and ran until he was sweating profusely.

He gasped for breath and said, "Ah... Your Majesty, something terrible has happened!"

"After waking up, the Imperial Concubine went to Zhaohua Palace carrying a long sword..."

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuyuan slammed the table and stood up, his anger evident: "Did those idiots disturb Tang'er's rest again?"

"Show me the Zhaohua Palace!"

Wang Fuhai was so frightened that he couldn't even catch his breath after hearing this. He quickly waved his hands and said, "No... No, Your Majesty!"

"It was the Imperial Concubine who directly killed the two guards and ordered all the servants in Zhaohua Palace to be beaten to death. Now she is going to look for the concubines in the harem with a sword..."

"Not only the servants of Zhaohua Palace, but also the servants of Changle Palace were dragged out and beaten to death..."

"The Imperial Concubine...she's gone crazy!"

Ji Wuyuan's body trembled violently when he heard this. He remembered the scene in Wuming Mountain when Jiang Wantang was holding a long sword and covered in blood. Then he quickly ran towards Zhaoyang Palace.

Before leaving, he ordered Wang Fuhai to lead his men to surround Zhaohua Palace and not let any news leak out.

Inside Zhaohua Palace.

Jiang Wantang looked at the concubine kneeling before her, accusing her. The smile on her lips widened as she slowly said, "You're right. Then everyone present who has just criticized me will kneel in the courtyard and be slapped in the face for an hour."

"It will also teach you to understand what to say and what not to say in the future..."

Upon hearing this, the concubines in the palace were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

After an hour, I didn't know how swollen my mouth was.

But Jiang Wantang just sneered at them, his expression unmoved.

So they turned their eyes to Zhao Shujia, who was sitting in the main seat, for help, hoping that their understanding sister Zhao would speak a few words for them and plead for mercy.

After all, they offended Jiang Wantang because they stood up for her.

Thinking of Zhao Shujia's gentle and generous appearance in the past, everyone felt that she would definitely not stand idly by at this moment.

Unfortunately, Zhao Shujia lowered her eyes, avoiding their expectant gazes.

Her hands unconsciously clenched the handkerchief, and her knuckles turned slightly white from the force.

Zhao Shujia didn't expect things to develop to this extent. It was far beyond her control.

She also didn't expect Jiang Wantang to act so swiftly and decisively. All the women in the harem didn't care about a superficial reputation of being virtuous and not being criticized by outsiders. The more they wanted to climb to that position, the more they would do so.

Even someone as arrogant as Concubine Qi would have to be a little cautious.

But Jiang Wantang is even more arrogant than her, he is simply crazy!

Zhao Shujia bit her lip slightly, maintaining a calm expression on her face, but she was quickly weighing the pros and cons in her heart.

She knew better than anyone that Jiang Wantang was coming for her. If she asked for mercy, Jiang Wantang would definitely take the opportunity to attack her, and Ji Wuyuan would definitely not make the decision for her.

But if she doesn't take action this time, then all the reputation, prestige, and good relationships she has accumulated in the harem will be completely destroyed...

What a great move!

Zhao Shujia even regretted that she shouldn't have relied on that fool Concubine Wang.

He couldn't even do such a small thing properly, and completely annoyed Jiang Wantang.

After thinking it over again and again, Zhao Shujia looked at the blood-stained sword in Jiang Wantang's hand and decisively chose to protect herself.

She just didn't believe that His Majesty would allow Jiang Wantang to behave so arrogantly.

It would be good if His Majesty could see her true face clearly.

Thinking of this, Zhao Shujia coughed tactically, picked up the teacup on the table, and took a sip, as if the chaotic and tense situation around her had nothing to do with her.

When the concubines saw her reaction, the glimmer of hope that had ignited in their hearts was instantly shattered, and disappointment spread across their faces...

Some angry people even began to curse Zhao Shujia for her hypocrisy and for not helping the person in danger.

Jiang Wantang's lips curved into a slight arc, very subtle but full of sarcasm.

Don’t they claim to be sisters who love each other and help each other?

Then she would tear apart the disguise and discord between them...

In the harem, is there any such thing as sisterly love?

How stupid!

Zhao Shujia felt embarrassed listening to the crowd's angry curses, especially when she saw the undisguised mockery on Jiang Wantang's face. She felt as if she had been stripped naked and thrown into the street.

She gritted her teeth, her face filled with shame, and finally couldn't help but ask, "Jiang Wantang, how did I offend you?"

"You beat my palace maids to death with a stick, they just said a few random words. How could you insult us with such cruel and vicious means?"

"Don't forget, you are not the master of this harem. What right do you have to shout at us to fight and kill?!"

Jiang Wantang's smile grew even brighter, and the teardrop mole at the corner of her eye was charming and attractive: "Because Ji Wuyuan favors me, because I am the imperial concubine who holds the Phoenix Seal!"

"But do you have these?"

Someone who was rushing to the gate of Zhaohua Palace suddenly heard the words "arrogant". He stopped in his tracks, the corners of his lips raised unconsciously, and the gloom that had been suppressing his head dissipated instantly.

Zhao Shujia gritted her teeth, her face flushed red, not knowing whether she was angry or embarrassed.

Jiang Wantang smiled and continued, "Zhao Shujia, how did you offend me?"

"I only temporarily handed over the management of the six palaces to you, but you vainly attempted to take over. Concubine Wang is brave but not wise. With her pig-like brain, she definitely couldn't come up with such a plan that takes advantage of the timing and location..."

"So, why are you shedding a few tears here and pretending to be innocent and a good person?"

"Do you really think His Majesty doesn't know?"

"But you did a pretty good job of playing the role of borrowing a knife to kill someone."

As soon as these words were spoken, all the concubines present looked at Zhao Shujia with disbelief and shock, and their faces showed contempt.

"Your Majesty is tolerant and generous towards you, but I, Jiang Wantang, cannot tolerate any grain of sand in my eyes."

Jiang Wantang raised the long sword in his hand, pointed it at everyone, and said with a smile: "Don't even mention punishment. Guess what, if I kill you, will His Majesty punish me for you?"

"I'll spare your lives this time, but if you dare plot against me again, the sword in my hand won't have eyes."

"Understand?"
