Chapter 1445 Lu Jiangyue is startled by ice cream
And in such a brutal and ruthless way!
Hitting women...
For a prince who received royal education from a young age and was conscious of his dignity and honor, this was such a disgraceful and undignified thing to do!
This is completely beyond the scope of Bingqiao's understanding.
In her previous imagination, even if the Prince of Jin hated her, he would at most treat her coldly.
She would have been tortured either by servants or by some other more refined means, never by such direct violence!
This was so different from what she had imagined—that even in a fit of rage, Prince Jin would maintain the demeanor of a superior!
A huge sense of disappointment welled up inside Bingqiao...
However, this is just the beginning.
Prince Jin seemed to have taken Bingqiao as an outlet for his anger and humiliation. After slapping her, he did not stop, and then kicked her hard in the abdomen!
"Well……"
Bingqiao curled up in pain, like a boiled shrimp, as if her internal organs had all shifted out of place.
She couldn't even scream; only painful sobs escaped her throat.
"My reputation, my power! All my years of hard work have been destroyed in an instant!"
The Prince of Jin, acting like a madman, punched and kicked Bingqiao while hissing and roaring in a low voice filled with intense hatred: "It's all because of you, you wretched servant!!!"
Bingqiao rolled on the ground, trying to avoid the falling objects. Her dress was torn, her hair was completely disheveled, and her hairpins were scattered all over the floor…
Waves of pain washed over her, making her consciousness somewhat blurred...
She could only use her arms to protect her head and face, enduring the sudden and violent rage of the Prince of Jin.
At this moment, all the riches and honors, all the titles of concubine, became nothing but illusions...
Ice Chocolate had only one thought left in her mind—
She was wrong! Utterly wrong!
The Prince of Jin was by no means a gentle and refined gentleman; deep down, he was violent and insane!
She thought she could finally turn the tables and be in charge, but little did she know that she was willingly jumping into an abyss of despair...
It turns out that the price of currying favor with the powerful and wealthy could be one's own life...
Prince Jin's chest heaved violently as he looked at Bingqiao, curled up on the ground like a rag doll, her breath faint. The raging crimson in his eyes gradually faded, replaced by a bottomless, chilling coldness.
He still retained a shred of reason.
In any case, Bingqiao was nominally a person from the palace, and moreover, she was a concubine that he took into his household as compensation.
If he had truly killed someone as soon as he entered the door, and the news spread, it would not only confirm his reputation for tyranny and cruelty, but also openly slap the emperor and Yongshou Palace in the face.
It does nothing to help his current precarious situation.
"Drag her away."
Prince Jin waved his hand dismissively, as if he were merely ordering someone to remove a piece of trash.
"Yes!"
Two burly old women immediately entered, heads bowed.
They seemed oblivious to the horrific scene on the ground, clearly having become accustomed to it.
Without a word, the two men, one on each side, lifted Bingqiao, who could barely stand, and half-dragged, half-lifted her out of the study, leaving faint bloodstains on the floor...
Soon, the lowly servants who had been waiting outside came in and quickly wiped it clean.
Bingqiao was in a daze, only feeling pain all over her body. Especially her lower abdomen and cheeks, which burned intensely…
As the lowest-ranking concubine, she certainly wouldn't have a separate courtyard.
Bingqiao was dragged along by two old women without any pity, through a dimly lit corridor, winding and turning, and finally thrown into a secluded and cramped courtyard.
Lu Jiangyue still lives in the courtyard.
She was looking at herself in the mirror, feeling sorry for herself and lamenting her unfortunate fate. She had finally managed to enter the Prince of Jin's mansion with her good looks and cunning, thinking that she could live a life of luxury with servants at her beck and call and fine clothes and delicacies.
Who would have thought that the Prince of Jin would be such a terrifying figure...
Lu Jiangyue's appearance was only considered pretty, and she didn't stand out in the Prince's mansion surrounded by beauties. In addition, her personality wasn't particularly likable, so she received limited favor and had few opportunities to see Prince Jin.
This actually became her shield, resulting in her being beaten far less often than Consort Qi and others, and her life could be considered relatively peaceful.
Besides living in constant fear, she was always worried that if the prince was in a bad mood, it would affect her.
Hearing the commotion outside, Lu Jiangyue curiously pushed open the door and saw Bingqiao being dragged in like a dead dog and thrown into the room opposite.
By the dim light of the lanterns in the corridor, she saw Bingqiao's swollen and cracked mouth, her disheveled hair, and the bloodstains and dust on her clothes...
Startled, Lu Jiangyue gasped and quickly covered her mouth.
"My God... what terrible thing did that new woman do to deserve this? She's been beaten up like this..."
Lu Jiangyue's heart was pounding.
She couldn't understand the thoughts of the women in the Prince's mansion, especially Consort Qi, who, despite being beaten, sometimes still showed an almost morbid sense of satisfaction.
It seems that the fist of the Prince of Jin is proof of his favor.
Lu Jiangyue felt terrified and wanted to hide far away...
"That was terrifying!"
She muttered something under her breath, then quickly shrank back and tightly closed her bedroom door.
Lu Jiangyue only hoped that the woman opposite her would behave herself and not bring that evil Prince Jin to this secluded courtyard.
She didn't want to be caught in the crossfire!
the other side.
study.
Prince Jin closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressing the violent rage churning in his chest.
After beating Consort Qi and Bingqiao in succession, the anger and humiliation that had been building up in his heart finally found an outlet, which cleared his confused mind a little.
The steward, who had been waiting outside the door, finally dared to enter cautiously and bowed to report: "...Your Highness, the gentlemen are waiting anxiously in the outer study."
"Look..."
Prince Jin slowly opened his eyes, his gaze now cold and clear: "Tell them to go to the secret room."
"Yes."
The butler responded and immediately went to make the arrangements.
Not long after, in a hidden secret room in the underground of the Prince of Jin's mansion.
Led by several key advisors, seven or eight men sat around a wooden table.
When the Prince of Jin appeared at the entrance to the secret chamber, everyone immediately stood up, their eyes all fixed on him: "Your Highness!"
Prince Jin walked to the main seat and sat down, waving his hand to signal everyone to take their seats.
His face was still pale, but his expression had returned to calm.
An older aide with a goatee was the first to lose his composure, asking tremblingly, "Your Highness, is the news from the palace... true?"
Although the news had been confirmed, they still needed to get final confirmation from the prince.
Prince Jin did not evade the question, but concisely recounted what had happened at Quhe Garden that day, as well as the emperor's final verdict.
His tone was calm, as if he were describing something unrelated to himself. But his hands, clenched into fists under the table, betrayed his inner turmoil.
