Chapter 151: Satanic? Very satisfying
Concubine Yue and the Queen looked at each other and knew that these two little girls were probably up to no good.
"Zisheng, your new wife, tell me first, how did you humiliate the wife of Marquis Chengyang?" Concubine Yue looked at Shao Shang, signaling her to speak frankly.
Shao Shang stood up without arrogance or servility and said, "Your Majesty, I have never humiliated the wife of the Marquis of Chengyang. I was simply speaking the truth."
The wife of Marquis Chengyang was so embarrassed by Shao Shang's words that she couldn't even raise her head. At this moment, Princess Ruyang started the conversation again and brought the topic to He Zhaojun.
"Concubine Yue, you should take care of your own affairs first. Do you know that after Yue Ling was publicly rejected, she returned to her fiefdom with the young Marquis of Yue and fell ill. She spent her days trying to commit suicide. How pitiful!"
She turned and stared at He Zhaojun: "You broke up a couple, and you still have the nerve to show up at someone else's engagement party. Aren't you aware of your own shame?!"
He Zhaojun raised her head and said, "As I said before, if someone wants to die, there are many ways to do it. Isn't there someone right before our eyes who says he doesn't want to live anymore, but actually lives more vigorously than anyone else?"
He Zhaojun glanced at the wife of Marquis Chengyang who was lying on the ground, with a forced smile.
"What's more, using one's own life as a bargaining chip for a chance to stand shoulder to shoulder with the one one loves will only hurt those who care about her. Trying to use such a favor in exchange for true love is ridiculous, isn't it?"
He Zhaojun glanced at Wen Ziduan standing beside her. "What the Third Prince needs is someone who can walk with him, not a cousin who is only immersed in childhood and stagnant. If she can't even figure this out, how dare she call herself the Third Prince's ideal partner?"
The Queen nodded and said, "I think so too. It seems that Yue Ling is not worthy of Zi Duan. Princess Ruyang, please stop pleading for her."
Concubine Yue also smiled: "Princess Ruyang, you have lived to such an old age, but you are still not as clear-headed as an unmarried woman in such a trivial matter as love between men and women. No wonder Prince Ruyang would rather leave the city and practice seclusion than live in the same room with you."
Seeing He Zhaojun's sharp tongue and insulting Chunyu without a single curse word, Princess Ruyang began to throw a tantrum. "No matter how despicable Chunyu is, she is my savior. To humiliate her is to humiliate me. Today, if Your Majesty does not give me an explanation, then I will..."
She wanted to say that she wanted to kill herself by banging her head against the wall, but He Zhaojun was standing beside her, looking at her coldly, with a playful look in her eyes, as if she was waiting for her to say that she wanted to die so that she could fulfill her wish.
She thought for a long time but couldn't utter the word "suicide". But Prince Ruyang couldn't wait any longer: "You're going to die? That's great! That's great!"
Princess Ruyang was furious. "Then I will go outside and cry out for justice! Since the families of all the civil and military officials are here, I will let them know how His Majesty treats the aunt who raised you under His protection. I will see if I can maintain my good reputation."
When He Zhaojun heard her words, the expression on her face changed from disdain to calmness. It was very simple. When she said this, she used the reputation of the entire royal family as a bargaining chip to threaten Emperor Wen.
Even though Emperor Wen had been kind and wanted to forgive her before, today he had no choice but to silence her forever. Therefore, in front of He Zhaojun, Princess Ruyang was now a dead person, and facing a dead person, there was no need to show any expression.
As expected, Princess Ruyang was imprisoned in Sancai Temple, and the wife of the Marquis of Chengyang was not allowed to leave the palace without an imperial decree. The farce ended with great fanfare. Prince Ruyang was extremely happy and pulled a few people to go for a drink.
"Ziduan! Come on, have a few drinks with me today. Let's not go home until we're drunk!"
