Demoted from wife to concubine? Reborn, the mistress of a noble family plots another high-status mar

Chapter 551

The maids all knelt down, not daring to breathe.

"How's it going on with your older brother?"

After throwing a tantrum, Zeng Rou took a deep breath and sat up straight.

"After the eldest son went to the hostage residence to inquire, Bai Jian, the guard beside her, took full responsibility, but also accused you of deliberately inducing the princess, and that the princess was provoked and accidentally stabbed you."

Bai Jian was not someone to be trifled with. When the Zeng family demanded that he be punished, he had to go to the Emperor to beg for justice.

"Hmph, let him go and complain then." Zeng Rou sneered.

In Daxia, the Zeng family could crush him at any time.

The next day, the matter was brought up in the Golden Palace.

Most of the court officials demanded that the princess of Beigong be punished. Even if the hostage princess could not be killed, her guards were guilty of a heinous crime for daring to break into Qinghuan Palace and injure Consort Shu.

......

"The Emperor executed Bai Jian?"

Yun Xiyue sat in front of the dressing table, drew her eyebrows, applied some lip rouge, adjusted her phoenix crown, stood up, turned around and asked.

Granny Chen said, "No, originally we were going to execute him according to everyone's wishes, to give Consort Shu an explanation. But Consort Shu suddenly said that there was no need to execute him, and wanted to give him a chance to redeem himself."

"How can you atone for your sins?" Yun Xiyue felt that Zeng Rou couldn't just let it go like this.

Granny Chen said, "It means that the guard, Princess Beigong, will be sent to the palace to serve. It is said that she will have to be castrated to become a eunuch, and then stay in Qinghuan Palace to be at the beck and call of Consort Shu."

Yun Xiyue's expression darkened slightly. "She certainly came up with that idea."

"Has the Emperor agreed?"

Granny Chen nodded. "He's just a servant from the hostage's residence. He confessed to his crime and only begs Consort Shu to calm her anger and spare the princess."

"Then the Emperor agreed because he didn't want to escalate the matter further."

"The person has already entered the palace and should be arriving at the castration room soon."

Yun Xiyue said, "Go and stop them."

Chen Mama said, "Your Highness, this is probably not appropriate."

"Bai Jian's current identity is merely a bodyguard to the princess of the Northern Palace Kingdom."

If he weren't a guard, he wouldn't have been able to come to Daxia with them. When he decided to come to Daxia, the Bai family treated him as a pawn to be abandoned.

“He is now a member of the hostage residence. The entire court resents these three hostages, especially the princess of Beigong Kingdom. If you step in to save them, you will give them a handle to use against you.”

Yun Xiyue thought for a moment and said, "Go and make some arrangements to ensure he doesn't become a eunuch."

Granny Chen paused.

Since she didn't move, Yun Xiyue stopped giving her instructions and went to find Granny Cao.

Just then, Granny Cao returned. "Your Highness, don't worry. I went to see Xiaowei, and he said you shouldn't act rashly. The eldest young master will take care of everything. Young Master Bai will be fine."

Bai Jian dared to agree, which means he must have made full preparations.

Yun Xiyue frowned, suddenly feeling that Bai Jian's entry into the palace this time didn't seem like a premeditated plan or an initiative.

"Well, let's wait and see!"

......

Zeng Rou was waiting at Qinghuan Palace.

"There's been no movement from the Jiaofang Palace?"

The maid replied, "Your Majesty, no."

"They sent people to inquire about the situation, but they didn't send anyone to the castration ward to rescue the person. That Bai Jian... is already a eunuch."

"This servant thinks he is no ordinary person and may cause trouble."

Zeng Rou scoffed, "Hmph, he's just someone abandoned by the Bai family. If he were capable, he wouldn't have become a eunuch in the palace."

"Go and summon him. From today onwards, he will serve as my dog ​​in Qinghuan Palace."

News of Zeng Rou's mistreatment of Bai Jian spread throughout the palace.

The eldest princess of Beigong Kingdom felt even more guilty and regretful.

That day, she went to the palace to find Zeng Rou, hoping to save Bai Jian.

In the Imperial Garden, they saw Bai Jian kneeling on the ground, being treated like a dog by Zeng Rou.

Sikong Xuanling was furious and wanted nothing more than to rush over and kill Zeng Rou.

"If you dare treat us like this, my royal brother will not let you get away with it."

Zeng Rou gestured for the people to leave and said with a smile, "Princess, if you want to save Young Master Bai, why don't you sit down and talk? Actually, I don't want to be your enemy."
