Chapter 1440 How to deal with Bing Qiao (198 million reward points plus more)
Combined with what happened today, the emperor understood, and a look of disgust flashed across his eyes: "So, this woman is quite cunning and has long harbored the idea of clinging to me."
"Today, I saw an opportunity with the Prince of Jin, so I set my sights on him. But I didn't expect that while the mantis was stalking the cicada, the oriole was behind it, and I ended up being taken advantage of."
Li Changde looked embarrassed: "This is also my guess, but..."
"Now, in everyone's eyes, Bingqiao is just a pitiful woman who was bullied by the Prince of Jin. If we punish her for adultery, I'm afraid it will only arouse suspicion."
"Since the Prince of Jin acted immorally while drunk, why did Your Majesty execute the victim?"
"But keep her..."
Li Changde didn't finish his words, but his meaning was already very clear.
This woman has evil intentions and will be a hidden danger if she stays in the palace. It's also disgusting to look at her.
Nangong Xuanyu asked in return: "How do you think we should deal with that palace maid?"
Upon hearing this, Li Changde immediately understood the profound meaning of the emperor's words and bowed, saying, "I understand."
"Since Bingqiao has... naturally cannot stay in the palace any longer. As the person responsible, the Prince of Jin should be held responsible for this matter and give an explanation to His Majesty and Yongshou Palace."
Nangong Xuanyu nodded slightly.
Throwing Bingqiao, this hot potato, to the Prince of Jin to deal with is the best option.
On the one hand, it saved the royal family's reputation, showed that the Prince of Jin had taken responsibility for the matter, and gave an explanation to the victim.
Secondly, it saved the emperor from having to deal with the matter personally, which might cause suspicion.
Thirdly... asking the Prince of Jin, who had just suffered a severe blow, to deal with the disaster that brought him shame was like pouring salt on his bloody wound.
The frustration and embarrassment were enough to make Prince Jin even more tormented!
Since Bingqiao and Prince Jin are not innocent people, just let them get annoyed with each other.
Seeing that the emperor tacitly agreed, Li Changde had a plan in mind. He was thinking about how to advise the people in the Prince of Jin's Mansion so that this matter could be resolved satisfactorily according to His Majesty's wishes.
……
Jin Palace.
The carriage slowly stopped at the door.
The Prince of Jin had regained consciousness, but his face was pale and his eyes were empty, as if he had suffered a great shock.
The guards helped him out of the carriage.
Princess Yun'an followed closely behind. Seeing Prince Jin in such a state, her heart felt like it was being cut by a knife. She felt both guilty and distressed.
She quickly stepped forward and comforted him, "Myna, don't be like this..."
"My royal brother was just angry today and spoke a little harshly. After some time, when the truth is revealed, he will, out of brotherly love, definitely restore your princely title!"
However, at this moment, the Prince of Jin would not listen to these persuasions.
His mind was filled with the great humiliation he had suffered in Quhe Garden today, the emperor's cold and ruthless judgment, and the contemptuous looks from those around him.
The Prince of Jin felt a surge of anger in his heart, with nowhere to vent it.
He waved away Princess Yun'an's hand that wanted to support him, and without saying a word, he staggered towards the mansion, his back looking desolate.
Princess Yun'an felt distressed and her hatred for Bing Qiao reached its peak.
It’s all because of that bitch maid in Yongshou Palace!
If she hadn't been restless, how could the myna be in this state?!
In the palace, upon hearing that the prince had returned, Concubine Qi hurriedly straightened her dress and came out to greet him.
Seeing the disheveled and distraught appearance of Prince Jin, she was startled and immediately stepped forward and asked with concern: "Prince, what's wrong with you?!"
"But something happened in the palace..."
Before she finished speaking, the Prince of Jin suddenly raised his head. His usually gentle eyes were now bloodshot and frighteningly gloomy.
He grabbed Concubine Qi's slender wrist with such force that he almost crushed her bones, and dragged her into the inner room without saying a word!
Concubine Qi felt pain and panicked, "Your Highness! Your Highness, you...what's wrong with you?!"
There was a "bang"!
The door of the inner room was slammed shut by Prince Jin.
Then, a muffled sound was heard from inside, followed by the woman's sobbing as she tried her best to suppress the pain...
Concubine Qi curled up on the cold ground, enduring the sudden punches and kicks.
At first she was confused and frightened, but soon she gritted her teeth and endured it silently.
Concubine Qi didn't understand why the prince suddenly became furious, but she had long been accustomed to such treatment.
In the torture day after day, Concubine Qi understood that resistance would only lead to more cruel torture.
Is there anyone in the world who really likes to be beaten?
She was powerless to resist, and could only force herself to find a shred of twisted enjoyment in it. Using this absurd perception to numb herself, to share the boundless pain, she was able to avoid being driven completely mad by the hopeless abyss...
So, when the severe pain came, a look of intoxicated enjoyment slowly appeared on Concubine Qi's face.
It was as if what she was enduring was not a beating, but some kind of sweet gift.
Concubine Qi had never suffered such a violent beating!
Even though she had always been able to endure pain, when the Prince of Jin stopped, she could no longer hold on and fell to the ground, completely losing consciousness...
The Prince of Jin's chest heaved violently as he looked at Concubine Qi, who lay lifeless on the ground like a rag doll.
The evil fire in his heart finally subsided a little after this violent outburst.
The Prince of Jin gasped and said coldly, "Take her away and call the palace doctor to treat her. Don't let her die."
"Yes!"
Immediately, two servants came in with their heads lowered and carefully carried the unconscious Concubine Qi out.
At this time, a confidant came in and reported solemnly: "Your Highness, someone has come from the palace and said he has a message from His Majesty."
Prince Jin's face instantly turned gloomy again!
He took a deep breath, forced himself to suppress his surging emotions, and ordered his men to help him wash and change his clothes quickly.
The Prince of Jin tidied up his messy appearance and then hurried to the front hall.
Inside the hall, an unfamiliar young eunuch was standing with his head bowed.
Seeing the Prince of Jin coming out, he only bowed slightly without performing any formal ceremony, his attitude carrying a hint of condescending distance: "Prince."
The Prince of Jin took a deep breath and asked, "Eunuch, do you have any other instructions for me, my brother?"
The eunuch raised his eyelids and said expressionlessly, "Your Majesty has issued an oral order: First, the Prince of Jin is to move out of the Prince of Jin's Mansion within three days and relocate to his old residence west of the city."
Prince Jin suddenly clenched his fist!
In the old residence to the west of the city, there is a Prince's Mansion of a lower standard. It is located in a remote area and has not been repaired for many years.
Compared to the Prince Jin's Mansion, it's completely different...
The eunuch continued, "Secondly, Bingqiao, the maid of Yongshou Palace, has been taken away by the Prince... Her reputation has been damaged, so it is inconvenient for her to remain in the palace."
"Your Majesty would like to ask the Prince, what are your plans for this matter? You should at least give an explanation to the palace."
When the eunuch mentioned Bing Qiao, the anger in Prince Jin's heart, which had not yet completely subsided, surfaced again, and his eyes were instantly filled with sinister intent!
