Chapter 327 Concubine Shu
Chen Ying covered her burning face. She looked at Murong Yi with great resentment and said sarcastically, "I haven't done anything yet, and you're already feeling bad. Is it like Su Yue said, that you'll divorce me to make room for Su Xue?"
Chen Ying was so angry that she didn't even bother to use the honorific title.
She looked at Murong Yi's face, which was as angry as the bottom of a pot. This was her husband. When he needed her, he treated her like a treasure, but when he didn't need her, she was worse than grass.
Today he watched her being bullied and didn't say a word to help her. He is a prince, who would dare to do anything to him if he said a word.
Her father told her to be patient, saying that a little impatience would ruin a great plan. When Murong Yi sat on the throne, she would be the empress, second only to the emperor, and she would be able to control those vixens at will.
But she just couldn't help it, she couldn't bear to see Murong Yi trying to please the Marquis of Anding Mansion for a slut who hadn't even entered the house yet.
"It's totally unreasonable. If you continue to be so stupid, I might do something like this. Don't threaten me."
Murong Yi was furious. What stupid things did this ignorant woman say? Nothing had happened yet. She had already lost face and done nothing. Before tomorrow, everyone in the capital would know that she, Princess Yi, had gone to the Marquis of Anding's mansion and acted like the legal wife, and then was taught a lesson by Princess Li.
His Prince Yi's Mansion became a laughing stock in the entire capital.
So what? Why did Murong Yi deserve to be laughed at? Why was there a stain in his life?
He was going to compete for that position in the future, so how could he let the whole world laugh at him behind his back for marrying a princess who was not worthy of being in public?
When the emperor had arranged for her to be married to him, he was secretly delighted. The Marquis of Zhennan was a rising upstart who held military power, making him a rare helper.
I didn't expect Chen Ying's quality to be so poor, she's so stingy that she's not even presentable.
People who come from humble backgrounds are people of humble origins, and they cannot compare with Su Yue in any aspect.
Murong Yi is regretting his decision to the point of anger. He thought that the Marquis of Zhennan held military power and was a powerful figure who could help him. But in the end, what kind of help was there? During his time in the Ministry of War, the people who followed him were all recruited by him with great effort, and had nothing to do with the Marquis of Zhennan.
Moreover, this guy actually kept his distance from him on the surface, for fear that the emperor would accuse him of forming a clique.
What is there to be afraid of? The emperor now has only two sons, him and Murong Li, who are originally two factions, divided into the irreconcilable Chu and Han worlds.
Look at the people in the Marquis of Anding's Mansion. They are openly standing on Murong Li's side, unlike the Marquis of Zhennan who is so cautious, as if he is afraid of being affected by bad luck.
He finally saw through it. This kind of person would be the one to run away the fastest when faced with a problem. It was impossible to get him to solve the problem with him.
So it’s not a pity to give it up.
Chen Ying was stunned when she heard his words. She didn't believe it and said, "You, you really want to divorce me, aren't you afraid of my father..."
"Don't be afraid. Your father can do whatever he wants. I am a first-rank prince. Why would I be afraid of a marquis like him?"
As expected, this woman was fearless because Marquis Zhennan was backing her up. She even threatened him blatantly. The more Murong Yi looked at this woman, the more he disliked her and he really wanted to divorce her immediately.
"You, you will regret it."
Chen Ying's eyes turned red, she took a deep breath, threw out these words, took the nanny and left Prince Yi's Mansion, and went straight to the Zhennan Marquis Mansion. She wanted to tell her father what Murong Yi said, and let her father control Murong Yi. She didn't believe that her father's ability could not control a powerless prince.
"Stupid woman."
Murong Yi looked at Chen Ying sinisterly as she left from behind. He was afraid that the stupid woman would go back to her parents' home to complain. Go ahead and complain, and you'll suffer the consequences.
He curled the corners of his lips and returned to the study. He called a secret guard and whispered a few words in his ear. The secret guard immediately jumped away.
He will not take Chen Ying's life or divorce her now. He will only take action after Su Xue and Chen Fanghua enter the mansion.
The purpose of sending people there now is nothing more than to monitor Marquis Zhennan. Since they are going to abandon this chess piece, they will definitely not keep him to stab him in the back. Marquis Zhennan knows a lot about him, and keeping such a person will be a disaster.
Fortunately, the Marquis of Zhennan had no foundation, so it was not difficult for him to depose him.
Sure enough, the next day, the capital was abuzz with gossip. Everyone was talking about how Princess Yi was doing at the Marquis of Anding's mansion. They said she was worthless, saying that with her petty appearance, she was unworthy of being Princess Yi. They even brought up the fact that Marquis Zhennan came from a humble background, saying how could a daughter of such a background have such a good upbringing...
In short, no matter how unpleasant the words were, they all reached the emperor's ears.
The emperor was so angry that he smashed a teacup. There was nothing going on in the court now, and it was almost the New Year, so the court was on holiday. The emperor only summoned Murong Yi to the palace to ask him some questions.
Murong Yi was going to abandon the Marquis of Zhennan anyway, so naturally he would not hide anything for Chen Ying. He told the emperor everything she had done in the Marquis of Anding's Mansion without adding any exaggeration.
After hearing this, the emperor was very disappointed with the Marquis of Zhennan. He thought he was a newly-risen upstart, different from an ordinary peasant. His well-educated daughter should know some rules and regulations, but she was so unpresentable, which brought shame to the royal family.
The emperor generally won't care as long as it doesn't involve the royal family's reputation or his interests.
The emperor looked at Murong Yi, who looked aggrieved, and felt that he had treated his son unfairly. He sighed and said, "It's hard for you. I'll take two maids back from the palace and teach her well. In the future, when you're not going out, try to keep her out as much as possible."
Murong Yi was delighted and bowed respectfully to the emperor: "Thank you, father."
The emperor waved his hand at him and asked him to leave. This time, the emperor also generously rewarded him to compensate him for choosing the wrong princess.
Murong Yi happily took the gifts and found two maids from the palace to return to Prince Yi's Mansion. He left Chen Ying to the two maids and left her alone.
Su Yue and Murong Li entered the palace with gifts. They first went to Xihe Palace to see Concubine Yun. Seeing that she was as indifferent as water, they did not stay long. They left her a two-hundred-year-old ginseng and went to Wanyi Palace.
Wanyi Palace was extremely lively. The concubines and ladies who came to give gifts filled the palace. Everyone was a little surprised to see Murong Li and the other two coming.
"Oh, it's Prince Li and Princess Li. You two are such rare guests. Come and take a seat."
When Concubine Shu saw the two men coming, she smiled and walked towards them, supported by two maids.
The corners of Su Yue's mouth twitched unconsciously. This Concubine Shu was really an acting queen. The thing in her belly was only as big as a fingernail. It looked like she was four or five months pregnant.
"Greetings to Mother Shu!"
The two of them saluted quickly.
"Get up quickly. There's no need to be polite when you come to me."
Concubine Shu laughed so hard that wrinkles appeared on her face, and she quickly asked the two of them to get up.
