Chapter 362.1: Breaking an Arm, Distributing the Gifts
“Yes, wangye.” Jing Wan, on the surface, somewhat timidly responded. As for on the inside, it was a completely different story.
Seeing Noble Consort Su’s miserably crying look, Jing Wan didn’t have the slightest stirring at all. It can be seen, she really was becoming increasingly stone-hearted. Alright, it was mainly still because Noble Consort Su deserved it. She wanted to obtain everything, yet didn’t want to leave behind the slightest threat either, so she can’t blame others for having her fooled in circles after learning the truth, nothing more than karma.
Jing Wan felt her own acting skills were also rapidly increasing, but compared to her own husband, she was still small potatoes. After all, to let her switch roles with a certain someone, she most likely will get seen through. That’s why, it was best to just weaken her presence as much as possible, and appropriately lower her head to cover up. Facing people who had more honorable status than her, this was also completely not a problem, no?
However, Jing Wan still mostly exclaimed in admiration inside. If not for knowing the inside story, afraid even she would all be completely deceived by a certain someone, thinking that he, at this very moment, must be exceptionally hurt, and because ruthlessly hurt, this heart thus would become increasingly cold, using it to cover up the fragility in his heart.
It was obvious, many people indeed all thought this. Not just Noble Consort Su, even Rui Qinwang who was good at masking himself, fond of controlling people’s heart, was also like so. As such, his views towards Li Hong Yuan also somewhat changed. In the past, his own mother would always side with Li Hong Yuan, and although it was inherently trivial matters, it still made him somewhat annoyed. Now, however, it also completely balanced out. Of course, just don’t count on him to be in pain like Noble Consort Su.
Li Hong Yuan turned around, about to leave, when he stopped again, directly looking to that old palace maid by Noble Consort Su’s side. Compared to before, his mood at this moment was further exposed outwards, “Have this old wicked slave dragged out and beaten to death. Don’t let this prince say a third time.” Right now, it was directly killing the person. It can be seen, towards Noble Consort Su’s conduct, he still had complaint. Since he can’t have complaint towards Noble Consort Su, then naturally it was just venting his anger out on someone else.
Jing Wan just wanted to say, the living Enma, for the sake of justifiably killing someone, really had many acts.
As a capable person by Noble Consort Su’s side, even many imperial concubines all needed to be somewhat respectful towards her, not needing to do rough labor, and her food and clothing usage was also first class. Compared with many official family madams, she was not inferior in any aspect. Under this kind of conditions, would she want to die? Naturally no! Previously, she thought that she could escape, yet never thought that it would be even worse now. After all, earlier, there was still a small possibility of surviving, but now, it was dying without a doubt. Her arms and legs went limp in fear. Where did she still have the slightest bit of might that was normally displayed in front of certain imperial concubines, and various eunuchs and palace maids, “your Highness save me, your Highness save me, this servant was wrong, really knows one was wrong. In the future, won’t dare to anymore, won’t dare to, your Highness, your Highness save this servant………………..”
This old palace maid also didn’t dare to say something like ‘sentiments’, because she knew that Noble Consort Su hated this the most. The more one said, the quicker one will die.
Right now, misunderstanding has appeared between the mother and son pair. If abandoning her can let the mother and son mend the cracks, Noble Consort Su definitely won’t be unwilling. Furthermore, Jin Qinwang even had a proper reason.
Towards an absolutely loyal and also capable confidant, Noble Consort Su certainly didn’t want to give up either, so she still wanted to save, “Yuan’er……….”
Li Hong Yuan looked towards her, even carrying a trace of coldness, “Consort mother, this son and Luo-shi are husband and wife, and as the saying goes, husband and wife are an integral whole. Her honor and glory just represents this son’s honor and glory, yet a merely slowly slave also dares to be rude towards her. And now, consort mother wants to have the person preserved. Does this mean that in consort mother’s eyes, this son’s honor is also nothing, and anyone can all trample on? Never mind third imperial brother, he’s your actual son, so in your heart, him being more important than this son is only natural and expected, but now, even a lowly slave can all climb on this son’s head?”
Saying it like this, this severity level just rapidly shot up countless levels. Noble Consort Su once again suffered a blow, her heart wrenching in pain, her complexion deathly pale, tottering on the verge of collapse, “Yuan’er, how can you say it like that, how can you…………….”
Li Hong Yuan’s face flashed with a trace pain, subconsciously reaching out and taking a step forward, but afterwards, forcibly stopped himself, retracting his hand and step. Restraining his emotions, his face returned to being emotionless.
Li Hong Yuan expressed, this time, he was heartbroken, genuinely heartbroken, and won’t easily forgive his consort mother.
Noble Consort Su took it all in, “What are you all standing around for, have the person dragged out, and beat to death.” She coldly shouted towards the eunuchs standing at the doorway.
The eunuchs who were originally still hesitant trembled all over, not daring to slight, hurriedly going forward. Facing the old palace maid that was usually high and mighty, arrogantly bossing them around, at this time, they produced a strange sense of superiority. Regardless of how it was in the past, now, wasn’t it still dying in their hands? Thus, when they set to the task, they were increasingly impolite.
“Your Highness, your Highness…………..” That old palace maid probably would have never expected that the one to issue the order in the end was instead her own master. At the same time feeling despair, she also produced an endless hatred. Then again, for the sake of one’s master, one can do anything, but in the end, end up with this kind of ending, so how can one not have the slightest negative emotions?
Noble Consort Su similarly took it in, yet at this time, shifted her line of sight, “Have her mouth stuffed.” She was very clear, after today, the people below her will be somewhat affected. After all, even as the trusted aide, it was still this kind of ending in the end, so it was very difficult for the others to not think too much. Afterwards, she looked towards Li Hong Yuan again, seemingly saying, ‘Yuan’er, are you satisfied?’
Satisfied? Heheh, even if all the people by Noble Consort Su’s side all die off, as long as it doesn’t cause trouble for him, then it has nothing to do with him at all.
“There’s also one more thing that consort mother should know. If any random lowly servant can give birth to a son for this son, then this son wouldn’t still have no children to this day. Presumably, what this son once said in the past, consort mother has forgotten.” Li Hong Yuan lowered his eyes, “This son will take one’s leave.”
This time, he walked away quite resolutely.
Jing Wan curtsied and also left along with, followed by Qing Ju.
Li Hong Yuan, for the sake of preserving his body for his wife, and also for the sake of saving some troubles, appeared to have countless beauties coming and going by his side. Just, they were all people of very low status, so naturally just had the excuse of ‘his son’s birth mother’s birth absolutely can’t be too low’. No one has ever suspected anything. Mentioning again now, you as the consort mother, sure enough, wasn’t attentive, so this son was hurt again.
After leaving Yucui Palace, the cold air surrounding Li Hong Yuan still emitted outwards, letting the people who saw from far away all quickly avoid. And the eunuchs that were preparing to send Jing Wan out of the palace also only dared to follow behind while lifting the sedan, not daring to go forward. After walking for a while, Jing Wan and Li Hong Yuan were about to part ways.
“Wangye……………” Jing Wan who was a few steps behind finally opened her mouth and called out to him.
Li Hong Yuan returned to his senses and looked to her, not saying anything, but his gaze softened.
Jing Wan nearly laughed out loud, really is attentively acting out the full set. However, Noble Consort Su probably will get ruthlessly screwed over again. Right now, there were quite a few people that all saw her appearance at this very moment. It would be strange for them to not make random connections. Moreover, someone capable by Noble Consort Su’s side even got beaten to death. For there to not be something fishy, who would believe? This good mother-in-law image of Noble Consort Su’s was in danger. Jing Wan knew this man was being deliberate, but Noble Consort Su won’t think this, and will certainly think that her son was too heartbroken, thus didn’t pay attention, but Jing Wan won’t be that lucky, and will certainly be considered by Noble Consort Su to be deliberately going against her. But now, her son clearly stood on his wife’s side, so even if angry, Noble Consort Su still had nowhere to vent. As time passes, perhaps some ailment will just form from that pent-up anger.
Just thinking about, one just knew, in the following period of time, afraid it will be lively in the palace.
“Wangye, this wife’s appearance is not proper, so can’t go to Ganlu Palace to pay one’s respect to her Highness, Shu Consort. Troubling you to send someone to inform, and say that one will come to humbly apologize in the future.”
Li Hong Yuan slightly furrowed his brows, his line of sight landing on the bloodstains on Jing Wan, still finding it unpleasant to the eyes. “Understood.” He turned and just left.
This acting skill, Jing Wan doesn’t know how many times she’s exclaimed in admiration.
Seeing Jin Wangfei wave her hand, the eunuchs lifting the sedan finally were relieved from the burden, quickly going forward and smoothly having Jing Wan sent out of the palace.
