Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 661: Concubine of Prince Zhuang’s Mansion 21

"What you said is true," Shu Shiqi's eyes sparkled with hope. After all, who would want to die if they could live? And there was a high possibility of being beaten to death in such a painful way. "But..."

The light in Shu's eyes faded, and she laughed and cried, "But how could the princess and Concubine Jiang be willing to help me? When I was favored before, I often offended the princess and Concubine Jiang by taking advantage of my favor. In this situation, how could the princess and Concubine Jiang be willing to help me?"

"Master, how do we know that the Princess and Concubine Jiang are unwilling to help you if we don't try?" Rong Gui said, "Let's just treat it as a last resort. Anyway, our situation is already so bad, how much worse can it get? At least we go and ask the Princess and Concubine Jiang for help. Even if they don't help you, they shouldn't make things difficult for you."

The master's situation was already so dire, and the princess and concubine Jiang saw it. Even if they had no sympathy for the master in their hearts, they certainly would not make things difficult for him.

"Yes! Master, let's give it a try!" Rong Zhi followed up, "Perhaps the Princess and Concubine Jiang are kind-hearted, and seeing how miserable our master and servant are now, they may help us without holding grudges! Anyway, we have to give it a try to know if it will work. There is a chance to survive, so why do we have to be so determined to die?"

"You are right. How can we know it won't work if we don't try? Maybe the princess and Concubine Jiang are kind-hearted and will help us." After saying this, Concubine Shu asked two maids to help her up.

Shu's concubine, master and servant went to see the princess first.

However, Princess Zhuang did not see her. Because she had just returned and had been to the palace, she was already very tired. How could she be willing to see Concubine Shu?

Of course, Princess Zhuang also knew why Concubine Shu came to her, just to seek her protection.

But the question is, why should Princess Zhuang help her? Princess Zhuang still remembers clearly how arrogant and domineering Concubine Shu was in front of her before, so why should she help Concubine Shu? She has never been a pushover.

Concubine Shu hit a wall with the princess, so the master and her two servants went to Jiang Chunxi again.

Jiang Chunxi naturally didn't see them either. She didn't want to waste her energy on Shu Shiqie.

In the original owner's previous life, although Concubine Shu had never harmed the original owner, she relied on her favor to make things difficult for the original owner. Especially after Prince Zhuang became emperor, she became even more aggressive and made the original owner suffer a lot at her hands.

In such a situation, Jiang Chunxi cared about the life and death of Concubine Shu. If she was beaten to death by King Zhuang, it could only be said that she was unlucky.

After repeated setbacks, Shu's concubine and her servant went out full of hope, but returned full of despair.

That very night, Concubine Shu was beaten to death by King Zhuang, and even her two maids were left hanging on.

When Prince Zhuang woke up from his drunkenness, he learned that the princess and concubine Jiang had returned, and they had not been demoted to commoners. How could Prince Zhuang not be angry?

He could be as hard-hearted as a rock toward his own son, but soft-hearted toward his son's wives and concubines. In short, Prince Zhuang's hatred for the emperor reached its peak.

Of course, he also hated the princess and Jiang Chunxi, those two bitches, but the problem was that Prince Zhuang was now a commoner, and there was really nothing he could do to those two bitches. If he dared to hit them, he would definitely suffer the consequences. He might be turned from a commoner into a criminal, and be sent directly to the clan house to be imprisoned, where he would die of old age and never be able to get out again.

But since we can’t do anything about the princess and Jiang Chunxi, is there anything we can do about Shu Shiqi and her servant?

Yes, the servants serving Prince Zhuang also reported the matter of Shu Shiqi and her servant going to find the princess and concubine Jiang. The purpose was to give Prince Zhuang a target to vent his anger, so that he would not take it out on the servants.

From this we can see that none of the servants around King Zhuang were loyal to him. This was certainly true in the past, but since King Zhuang was demoted to a commoner, the servants around him have suffered a lot.

Under such circumstances, who would still be loyal to King Zhuang?

King Zhuang went to find Concubine Shu when he was blinded by anger. In such a situation, there was no rationality in beating people, so Concubine Shu was beaten to death by him.

Princess Zhuang and Jiang Chunxi would not help conceal the fact that Prince Zhuang had beaten someone to death, so the news of Prince Zhuang beating his concubine to death spread throughout the capital the next day, and soon reached the ears of the emperor, who was so angry that his forehead hurt.

Originally! Even if he was not a prince, even if he was an ordinary official, it would not be a big deal to beat a concubine to death, but who made the reputation of King Zhuang so bad that it even affected the reputation of the royal family.

So the fact that he beat his concubine to death was naturally no small matter. But after all, he was his own son, and the emperor couldn't bear to punish his son completely. He could only send someone to inform Princess Zhuang, asking her to restrain Prince Zhuang and not to have any scruples.

Princess Zhuang received the emperor's order, so naturally she put Prince Zhuang under guard and allowed him to stay in the front yard where he lived. He was not allowed to come out and harm others again. Even the servants in the front yard were replaced by Princess Zhuang, all of them were replaced with some strong servants, so that even if Prince Zhuang wanted to break out, he couldn't.

King Zhuang was naturally angry, he was almost going crazy with anger.

But no matter how angry he was, it was useless. None of the servants who guarded him took him seriously. They only obeyed the orders of the princess. This made King Zhuang unable to express his anger no matter how angry he was. He had no way of getting out of his yard.

Although Princess Zhuang put Prince Zhuang under custody, she did not treat him harshly in other aspects, especially when it came to wine. Prince Zhuang could drink as much as he wanted, and she ensured that he would not lack wine every day. It would be best if he drank himself to death, as that would be very satisfying.

Jiang Chunzheng and his wife returned to the capital half a year later. Now that Prince Zhuang had been completely deposed, Jiang Chunzheng and his wife naturally would not stay outside any longer.

Jiang Chunxi naturally cried with joy at the Jiang family because Jiang Chunzheng and his wife were able to return, and Jiang Chunzheng also expressed her gratitude to Jiang Chunxi.

After all, if Jiang Chunxi had not pretended to have smallpox, there would be no way to completely bring down King Zhuang, and the couple would not know when they would be able to return to the capital.

After Jiang Chunzheng and her husband left the capital, Jiang Chunzheng told her husband about King Zhuang's dirty thoughts about her, which made her husband extremely angry. If he had not left the capital, he would have definitely hunted King Zhuang down with him.

Therefore, Jiang Chunzheng's husband also expressed his deep gratitude to his sister-in-law Jiang Chunxi. He even bowed to Jiang Chunxi and thanked her, which made Jiang Chunxi feel flattered.
