Chapter 55
Jing Chun said coldly, "Don't try to claim kinship with me!"
The head maid looked terrified. "Yes, yes, yes! Miss Jingchun is right!"
When the Empress was not present, Jing Chun, who was by the Empress's side, represented the Empress, and everyone had to be extremely respectful to her.
Jing Chun slightly relaxed her brow, staring at Lu Chengfeng's back as he was surrounded by admirers, and nodded with considerable annoyance:
"His Majesty is a wise ruler, yet his eyes have been tainted today, inevitably tainted by some bad luck. How to get rid of this bad luck... I believe Aunt has thought about it carefully."
Seeing that the stewardess looked confused, Jing Chun gestured with his chin toward Lu Chengfeng.
The head maid slapped her forehead. "I haven't seen Your Majesty's face for so long, and my mind has become dull. Thank you for your guidance, Miss Jingchun!"
After Jing Chun turned and left, the head maid squinted at the direction Lu Chengfeng had left in and spat.
I thought that little hussy had caught His Majesty's eye, but I never expected that she had displeased him!
Her eyes were full of disdain. Jing Chun wouldn't let him be tormented to death?
She has far too many ways to torture people in the inner palace.
Jing Chun, who was jogging to catch up with Ling Wu, had a flushed face. After returning, she did not claim credit, but dutifully followed behind.
Lingwu rested her chin on her hand. The phoenix carriage was exquisitely crafted, sheltered from the wind and rain, and offered a panoramic view of the beauties around her. When she leaned against it, she couldn't help but feel drowsy.
Ling Wu half-closed her eyes, and the gentle corners of her eyes also carried a hint of allure, making her look lazy and enchanting.
"You've done a good job. I'll grant you a favor. You can come back and tell me when you've thought it through."
Jing Chun bowed slightly, a sly glint in her eyes that she revealed to Ling Wu. "Then this servant will respectfully comply."
Ling Wu chuckled softly, "Mm."
In the inner palace, after cleaning himself of the filth, Lu Chengfeng gritted his teeth and glanced at the servants gathered around the door.
They continued to flatter them:
"Young Master Lu is indeed different from us!"
"Yes, yes, in my opinion, Brother Lu's appearance is in no way inferior to that of the most favored concubine in the palace!"
"Brother Lu is so delicate and graceful, even we men can't help but be moved by him."
When Lu Chengfeng heard the words "Imperial Nobleman," his face had already darkened. But when he heard the words "weak willow in the wind," it was a great insult to Lu Chengfeng, who had been an emperor!
Lu Chengfeng could no longer hold back and clenched his fists, the veins on his forehead bulging.
He looked fierce and menacing, and coupled with the imperial majesty of his previous life, he terrified the group of servants who hadn't seen the emperor's face in a long time, turning them pale with fright.
However, after the initial pallor, disdain returned to their eyes.
If it weren't for the help that Lady Jingchun gave His Majesty today, who would fawn over a lowly person who has just been exiled to the Yongxiang Palace?
Everyone in the palace knew that the Yongxiang Palace was a place where only those who had committed serious crimes or displeased their masters would come, and it was a more mixed place than other places.
If it weren't for his good looks, the rumors that he tried to seduce His Majesty but was dismissed by his master, and the fact that His Majesty actually came today, who would treat him kindly?
Although it is unclear whether she came specifically to see him, Miss Jingchun did indeed save his life on behalf of His Majesty today.
But seeing his lack of appreciation, the group couldn't help but mock him in their hearts.
There are countless beautiful young maids in the harem. Today His Majesty may favor one, but tomorrow he may be another delicate flower. Who will remember him?
The group of people walked together, just as they had arrived.
Before they had gone far, Yun Ji spat and cursed, "You shameless bastard!" His pretty face was so delicate that even his cursing had a childlike charm.
"Shh—brother Yunji, keep your voice down, he can still hear you!"
"So what if he heard? I originally thought this slut was like me, a true character who would do anything for wealth and status. I never expected him to actually put on airs. He even behaved improperly in front of the Emperor. If His Majesty hadn't been merciful and didn't hold it against him, would he have gotten away with it? So arrogant, does he really think he's the master now?"
Yun Ji sneered. Everyone in Yongxiang had been fawning over him before, and they thought a good brother had come today. But it turned out he was just like everyone else, a hypocrite who wanted to pretend to be virtuous.
What's with the pretense of being high and mighty?
As soon as Yun Ji finished speaking, he turned around without a second thought, only to see Lu Chengfeng staring at him with a terrifying look in his bloodshot eyes.
His heart skipped a beat, but when he remembered Lu Chengfeng's appearance covered in excrement and urine, his fear vanished.
He raised his chin high, and then spat at Lu Chengfeng again in front of him!
Lu Chengfeng's eyes were bloodshot and his fists were clenched. He had completely lost his mind at this sight.
A surge of resentment welled up inside me as I felt myself falling from the clouds into filth!
All the anger surged and overwhelmed his reason!
"I'll kill you!" he growled, then lunged forward.
Yun Ji took two steps back, and a group of people around him quickly blocked his way.
Lu Chengfeng's eyes were bloodshot, and he didn't care who it was. He started punching anyone he saw!
The servants, who had initially been hesitant, were now enraged by the beating.
Aside from initially intimidating a group of people with his imposing manner, Lu Chengfeng was subsequently surrounded and beaten by them.
Before long, he was bruised and swollen, with blood at the corner of his mouth, looking extremely disheveled. Yet, like a madman, he still tried to get closer to Yun Ji and the others!
However, by the time the stewardess arrived, Lu Chengfeng was already covered in blood and on the verge of death.
He lay in a pool of blood in despair, not knowing who had kicked him in the back of the head, and now all he could feel was a ringing in his head.
In a daze, he vaguely remembered that Sang Lingwu had been bullied like this by the palace maids before, and what he had said back then.
He seemed to kick Sang Lingwu away with disgust, ignoring her pleas, and coldly scolded her, "The person you are now only disgusts me!"
When Yun Ji saw the stewardess arrive, her delicate face paled, but she affectionately tugged at the stewardess's sleeve.
“Aunt, he started it all. So many people here can testify to that. And look at us, our faces are all bruised and battered. If we go to other palaces in the future, people will gossip that you are petty and hit us.”
After hearing this, the head maid noticed that Lu Chengfeng was still conscious, and combined it with what Jing Chun had just said, she frowned and said, "Carry him back."
Before Yun Ji could even breathe a sigh of relief, the head maid glanced at him and said, "Yun Ji, come with me."
Yun Ji trembled, but dared not hesitate to follow.
With no one around, the head maid leaned closer to Yun Ji and took a breath. Then, softening her tone, she took Yun Ji's hand and touched it. "Auntie doesn't blame you. You accidentally did the right thing today, but..."
Yun Ji suppressed the nausea in his chest and obediently asked, "But what?"
The head maid stroked his hands, and seeing his clean, well-defined fingers even in the Yongxiang Palace, she pondered for a moment, "Does Yunji want to become a superior person?"
"A superior person?" Yun Ji's breath hitched, but he had already made his judgment. He quickly knelt down and said, "Auntie has shown me kindness today, and I will never forget your kindness in the future!"
Knowing about the disturbance in Yongxiang, Lingwu gave Jingchun an approving look, but Jingchun couldn't help but smile.
She was right.
Although she didn't know exactly what Lu Chengfeng had done to displease His Majesty, Jing Chun would definitely be the first to make that person unhappy if he did!
