Chapter 356 Clean Up
If she continued like this, the most likely outcome would be that if Prince Duan really came one day, he would only see her as a pile of bones.
But since the princess has made up her mind, Chen Xi will not try to persuade her any more. Once the door of the dark room is closed, there will be no sunlight. The princess can hide here alone without going crazy, which shows how strong her determination is!
He is an old man and he just can't help but admit defeat!
Now, he really hoped that what the princess said was true, that His Royal Highness Prince Duan was not dead, and that he would really come back.
"Prince Duan..."
Chen Xi thought of Ling Jingxuan, who once had high prestige among the people and had many supporters in the court. Objectively speaking, he was indeed the most suitable person to inherit the throne among all the descendants of the late emperor.
“What a pity!”
…
On the seventh day of the twelfth lunar month, eleven days after the emperor's death, Crown Prince Ling Jingyu ascended the throne. The coronation ceremony was solemn and concise, and the whole process went very smoothly.
In the Prince's Mansion, Lin Xiafeng, as a concubine, has not yet been canonized, but at this moment she feels extremely excited and proud.
She knew that she would wait for this day!
As long as the prince ascends the throne, she will have a way to ensure that the position of queen will never fall into the hands of others!
If some young lady really dared to intercept, for her, it would just be a matter of working harder and studying the notes left by Senior Ghost Saint.
She believed that she always had a thousand ways to kill the damned person without anyone knowing, and then get what she wanted openly!
During the period of mourning for the late emperor and the empress dowager, the prince could not take in many concubines. Therefore, Lin Xiafeng knew that after the two bodies came out, the prince... oh no, the emperor, would enthrone the concubines in the mansion and bring them into the palace.
Lin Xiafeng came to the backyard of the prince's mansion. The prince was in the palace every day these days and had no time to come back, so the girls finally stopped the hellish torture.
After more than ten days of rest, they all look fresh and fresh, with timid eyes and look weak and vulnerable. I feel so sorry for them!
"Greetings...Greetings to the Concubine!"
Everyone is afraid of Lin Xiafeng, a fear that comes from the depths of their souls.
Amidst the timid greetings from the crowd, Lin Xiafeng walked to the main seat and sat down. He stared at them for a long time, almost scaring the timid girls to tears, before he smiled brightly and said, "Why are you all standing here?"
The girls shook their heads violently. In front of Concubine Lin, no one dared to sit down even if she offered them the seat.
"Our Crown Prince will ascend the throne as the new emperor today. You all know this, right?"
The little girls nodded timidly, and it was unclear whether they were happy or sad. Only He Xiang said clearly, "Yes, we know."
He Xiang is in good spirits now, and the joy between her eyebrows is no less than that of Lin Xiafeng. After all, most of the women present are toys and bed-warming slaves bought by Lin Xiafeng for the prince.
Only He Xiang had a formal status, even though she was only the lowest-ranking concubine, but that was still a status!
When the emperor finishes his official business and wants to take them into the palace, she will be rewarded and become an empress!
He Xiang didn't care about what kind of reward she would get. Even if it was just the lowest-level reward, she would be very proud!
After all, no one in her family had ever set foot in the imperial palace for eight generations, nor had they ever held any official position. And she, in the future, would be the woman of the greatest and most noble man in the world!
If she is lucky enough to have another son or daughter in the future, her son will be a prince and her daughter will be a princess!
Just thinking about this would make He Xiang laugh even in her dreams.
The anticipation and excitement on her face were so obvious that Lin Xiafeng became more determined about the purpose of his trip.
"You all know how noble the Emperor's body is. Not just anyone can get close to it. Even the lowest-ranking maid in the palace must be of clean origin."
"And you are all slaves, so there is no chance for you to enter the palace."
Lin Xiafeng's words made He Xiang stunned. Her beautiful dream had just begun, and it was about to be extinguished?
She forced a smile with a stiff face, "My Lady Concubine, I am different from them. I am the Emperor's concubine, so I shouldn't be considered a slave, right?"
Lin Xiafeng looked at He Xiang and smiled calmly, "Of course you are a slave. Don't you know that you are worse than them? Are you still dreaming of flying up to the tree and becoming a phoenix?"
He Xiang's face turned pale, and she looked at Lin Xiafeng in disbelief. Why, why was it like this? This is not what you said when you brought me to the Prince's Mansion!
Lin Xiafeng didn't care whether He Xiang could accept it or not, and continued, "The emperor is the Son of Heaven, he cannot have any stains. You are all his stains!"
"In the future, the emperor will have three palaces and six courtyards, and countless officials and noble families will send their daughters to the palace to serve the emperor."
"Your mission has been completed. With such a lowly and even broken body, you have had the opportunity to serve the current emperor. This is already a great merit of your ancestors!"
"As a human being, the most important thing is to know yourself. Don't dream of things that you don't deserve. It's ridiculous!"
He Xiang stiffened her neck, wishing she could pounce on Lin Xiafeng and tear his arrogant face apart, but she knew she couldn't act rashly, she had to endure it!
At least, they have to endure until the emperor returns or summons them into the palace.
He Xiang is very confident in herself. She believes that the emperor must remember her. She believes that the emperor must like her performance in bed and must be inseparable from her.
After all, with the emperor's appetite, it is really hard to find a woman who can satisfy him. Can those delicate daughters of officials and noble families compare with her?
I'm afraid she would have fainted before the emperor could have enough fun!
However, Lin Xiafeng is not the kind of soft-hearted person who likes to leave trouble for herself. She came here today to make these "stains" disappear from the emperor's life!
"Come here, take them all away and deal with them cleanly!"
Clean it up?
He Xiang really thought she had misheard. When Lin Xiafeng asked her to come to the Prince's Mansion, he said that he wanted to be her sister. Now she became a slave?
Now that the prince has ascended the throne, all of them will become stains that need to be dealt with, right?
How clean and noble did Lin Xiafeng think she was?! If it weren't for them, Lin Xiafeng would have been killed by the prince long ago!
Now, she relies on them to stabilize the prince, but wants to enjoy the glory and wealth alone. She is dreaming!
He Xiang is ambitious, but her vision is too low. She has never clearly understood her own identity, which is why she has always been deceived by Lin Xiafeng.
She doesn't know her own limitations and is self-righteous, so she believes everything Lin Xiafeng says without thinking about whether it is logical or not, or whether she is worthy of all the good things Lin Xiafeng promised her!
Even if Lin Xiafeng doesn't deal with them, it will still be a matter of the emperor's words!
Ling Jingyu can survive without them, so why would he let them into the palace? Putting aside other things, how would he explain their origins?
You, a slave, also want to be the emperor's woman. Are they worthy?
Lin Xiafeng is so smart and considerate that he took action in advance to help the emperor solve all his troubles so that he has no worries.
Controlling the harem for the emperor is also the job of a qualified queen, isn't it?
He Xiang watched helplessly as the girls were taken away by the guards. After struggling for a few times, they were knocked unconscious by a palm. After screaming in fear, their mouths were ruthlessly covered. Some of them even had their necks twisted.
He Xiang kept backing away. She was afraid and unwilling!
How could she die? How could she die like this!
She has suffered so much hardship and pain in her life, and now she is finally going to change her life. She can enter the palace to be a mistress, a queen, and give birth to children for the emperor!
Such a bright and beautiful future is right before her eyes, how can she be executed now!
He Xiang suddenly turned her head to look at Lin Xiafeng. She was still so gentle and indifferent, as if everything happening before her eyes was not a big deal at all and was not worth her attention at all.
Such a vicious person is truly a born devil.
Let us die, and then you and the emperor will go to the palace to enjoy wealth and glory? Lin Xiafeng, forget it!
He Xiang reached out and touched the teacup lid on the table behind her, then rushed towards Lin Xiafeng, strangled her neck with one hand, and smashed the teacup lid in her hand on the edge of the table with the other hand, and used the porcelain shards to press against Lin Xiafeng's neck.
At the same time, he threatened the guards who had reacted, "Don't come over!"
Lin Xiafeng remained calm, his tone still as high and mighty as ever, "He Xiang, do you know what you are doing?"
"Of course I know what I'm doing. But Concubine Lin, do you really think that you can do whatever you want when the Emperor is not around?"
"Don't worry, I don't want to kill you. I just want to wait for the emperor to come back, so that he can see your true face and give me justice!"
"The palace is so big, you and I can obviously live in peace and not interfere with each other. Even if we compete for favor and power in the future, it will depend on our own abilities!"
"But you are so sinister and vicious that you actually want to strike first! Let me tell you, I, He Xiang, am not that easy to bully!"
"Haha," Lin Xiafeng chuckled nonchalantly, "He Xiang, even now, you are still so ridiculous."
Want to enter the palace? Want to live peacefully with her? Want to compete for favor and power based on your own abilities? I'm afraid you haven't woken up yet!
"When you were Qin Qingyao's maid, you were so self-righteous that you forgot everything. Even though the Qin family didn't say anything, you were convinced that Qin Qingyao was going to marry Liu Shiyuan and even climbed into Liu Shiyuan's bed first."
"As if Qin Qingyao's marriage is something you, a lowly servant, can decide!"
"You were sold out as punishment by the Qin Mansion, but you never thought you were wrong. You even thought Qin Qingyao was targeting you and wronged you. You didn't even consider that you are just a slave. If Qin Qingyao wanted to, she would have a hundred ways to make your death justified."
"They didn't kill you not because they didn't dare, but because they didn't want to. You're not even worthy of having their hands dirty!"
