Chapter 660: Concubine of Prince Zhuang’s Mansion 2
The emperor's decree was a grace. After all, the emperor did not think that Princess Zhuang and Jiang Chunxi could survive, so he graciously returned the dowries of the two families' daughters.
But the emperor never expected that Princess Zhuang and Jiang Chunxi actually survived smallpox. In ancient times, people who could survive smallpox were considered to be very blessed.
Since she is a person with great fortune, she naturally cannot be treated unfairly. Therefore, after the emperor personally summoned Princess Zhuang and Jiang Chunxi, he allowed Princess Zhuang to retain her title as princess, and Jiang Chunxi naturally also retained her title as the prince's concubine.
This meant that Prince Zhuang had been deposed as a commoner, but Princess Zhuang and Jiang Chunxi were still members of the royal family. To put it bluntly, Prince Zhuang had to be respectful when he saw them, because Prince Zhuang was now a commoner.
Princess Zhuang and Jiang Chunxi came out of the palace with a large amount of rewards from the Emperor. As soon as they sat in the carriage, they could no longer hold back and burst into tears of joy.
"Sister Jiang, we have finally gotten what we deserved after all the hardship we've endured. We don't have to worry about that bastard Prince Zhuang's conspiracy anymore, right?" Princess Zhuang cried and laughed, "God is so merciful! I thought there was no hope for our life, but unexpectedly, there was a sudden turn of events that actually freed us."
As long as she can remove the huge rock that Prince Zhuang is putting on her, she will still have hope for the future. When she asks the Emperor to adopt a son for her, she will have hope for the rest of her life.
"Yes! We are finally free," Jiang Chunxi naturally looked happy, "From now on, that bastard King Zhuang won't be able to act arrogantly in front of us. You know, he is a commoner now, and he still has to bow to us when he sees us."
"Haha! I can't wait to see that bastard and teach him a lesson so that I can vent my anger."
"Sister Jiang, please don't do that!" Princess Zhuang wiped her tears and said, "Although Prince Zhuang is already a commoner, he is still a prince. There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. If the emperor knew that Prince Zhuang was bullied by us, how would he feel?"
"After all, no matter how much I dislike my son, it is not someone else's turn to bully him. What's more, King Zhuang is a vicious snake. If you really provoke him, who knows what terrible things he will do."
"Anyway, listen to me. Don't let your anger cloud your mind and make you do something stupid. We are free now anyway, so there is really no need to create more trouble."
Jiang Chunxi naturally would not refute Princess Zhuang's words. After all, what she said just now was just talk. Rather than humiliating King Zhuang, she wanted to kill King Zhuang more.
It’s just that now is not the time for King Zhuang to die. Although we cannot kill King Zhuang immediately, it is still necessary to destroy his body and completely prevent him from causing trouble again.
Jiang Chunxi and Princess Zhuang returned to the three-story house where Prince Zhuang currently lived. Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang were waiting outside to greet them.
Because Princess Zhuang and Jiang Chunxi were going to enter the palace, Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang came to this house to settle down first.
"When Sister Jiang and I came back, the people below had already reported that since King Zhuang moved into this house, he has been getting drunk every day and beating people up every day." Concubine Jiang said as they walked, "I heard that Concubine Shu and the other two have been suffering from the boss's misfortune in the past period of time."
"Especially Concubine Shu, she was beaten the worst. She was beaten every other day and couldn't get up from her bed. If this continues, I estimate that Concubine Shu will die soon."
"Princess, Sister Jiang," Concubine Yu said worriedly, "The prince has become so violent now. Now that he sees us back, will he feel that he has a few more scapegoats and start to beat us up? What should we do?"
"What prince?" Jiang Chunxi sneered, "That bastard is now a commoner, but the princess and I are still members of the royal family. The emperor has already said that the princess is still Princess Zhuang, and I am still a concubine, but he did not demote us to commoners."
"What does this mean? It means that in this house from now on, the princess is the most senior, I am the second most senior, and that dog beast is nothing. If the servants in the house are clear-headed, they will know who to listen to in this house from now on, so what you are worried about is completely nonsense."
"It would be fine if that bastard didn't come to provoke us, but if he dares to provoke us, then are these servants in the mansion just decorations?"
"In short, you can rest assured that what you are worried about will not happen."
After hearing what Jiang Chunxi said, Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang were naturally very happy.
The place where Princess Zhuang lived was naturally the largest, while the place where Jiang Chunxi lived was a little worse.
Besides, this was only a three-story house, and it was incomparable to the previous Prince Zhuang's Mansion. Therefore, Princess Zhuang didn't care much about the two people's residence, but Jiang Chunxi was a little dissatisfied.
But there is nothing I can do if I am not satisfied!
After all, the place is so small, so it's futile for her to wish for a more spacious living space.
At the same time, in Shu Shiqi's room.
"Master, please bear with me. You must rub the bruises on your body vigorously with medicinal wine, otherwise..."
"No need," Shu Shiqi said weakly. She looked so miserable at the moment. Not only her body, but her entire face was covered with bruises. "I really can't live like this any longer, so there's really no need to suffer this anymore."
As she spoke, Concubine Shu looked at the two maids and said, "You don't have to follow me anymore and suffer with me. Pack up your things. I will give you the indentures and you should leave the capital and return to Jiangnan."
In fact, the situation of Rong Gui and Rong Zhi was not much better. The injuries on their bodies and faces were no less severe than those of Concubine Shu.
Because every time King Zhuang came to beat their master, the two of them could not just watch their master being beaten to death, so naturally they would fight to the death to protect their master, and then they would also be beaten by King Zhuang.
"Master, please don't say that," Rong Gui cried, "We have served you since we were young. How could we abandon you and go back to Jiangnan? From the day I started serving you, I made up my mind to stay by your side for the rest of my life."
"Master, I won't leave either," Rong Zhi also cried, "I know you have made up your mind to die, but even if I die, I still want to serve you. Otherwise, what will you do if you walk alone on the road to the underworld without someone to serve you?"
"Besides, it's not completely hopeless. I just learned that the princess and Concubine Jiang are back, and they haven't been demoted to commoners by the emperor. They are still princesses and concubines. Let's go and beg them. Maybe they will feel pity when they see the miserable state of the three of us, master and servant, and help you not be beaten by King Zhuang again."
