Chapter 406: I think it’s better not to treat your nephew
"Now that my brother has come to me for help, as his aunt, I feel sorry for him. Could the Queen please find a way to help me plead for mercy and ask the Princess to heal my nephew? My Zhang family will definitely prepare a generous gift to apologize to the Princess."
Queen: The princess has emptied the national treasury of Beining and the emperor’s private treasury. How could she still be interested in the trifles of your Zhang family?
The Queen looked embarrassed. "Sister, it's not that I don't want to help you. I've actually heard about this matter. At the time, I was so angry that I asked someone to find out what was going on."
"How dare she, a princess regent from another country, depose the only son of the Prime Minister of Beining in public? I'm thinking that after I investigate thoroughly, I'll definitely stand up for the Zhang family and make that princess pay."
"But when the servants told me what happened... even I felt ashamed. I never knew that Zhang Zize had done so many evil things."
"Not only did he lend money at high interest rates, he also forcibly abducted all the good-looking people from good families back to his mansion, regardless of gender or age. Most of those he abducted never came back alive. I was so scared after hearing this that I couldn't sleep."
"Prime Minister Zhang was all-powerful in Beining to clean up the mess for his son, but he absolutely should not have messed with the Regent Princess of the Great Zhou, who almost became the Empress of the Great Zhou."
"And then there's the young prince and the princess. Zhang Zize said he wanted to abduct the Princess Regent, but I didn't expect him to even spare the young prince and the princess's two three-year-old children. What else can he be but a beast?"
"Although I have no children now, I have been a mother. If anyone dares to have such thoughts about my children, I will kill him."
"So, sister, you should be thankful that the Regent Princess showed mercy. I've inquired about her personality. If this happened in the Great Zhou, Zhang Zize would have been dead."
After the Queen finished speaking, she seemed to have just remembered something, and she looked at Concubine Zhang's angry face and lightly slapped her mouth.
"Look at me, I was so caught up in my righteous indignation and defending the innocent that I forgot that Zhang Zize is my nephew. It's my fault. I just lost a prince, so please don't get too angry."
The matter of the prince's death was brought up again, and Concubine Zhang felt the blood and energy in her body surge up.
The queen must have done it on purpose. She must have done it on purpose to make herself angry to death.
"Empress, I know that there is indeed something wrong with my Zhang family. This is all because my brother was poisoned by a villain in his early years and had difficulty having children. After being married for many years, he finally had this nephew, so it is inevitable that he has spoiled him a little too much."
"As long as the Queen can help me ask the Princess of Great Zhou to treat my nephew, I will ask my brother and sister-in-law to properly control Zi Ze in the future. I promise that such a thing will never happen again. Zi Ze is still young, and his life cannot be ruined."
"Your Majesty, I believe I have been in the palace for many years and have always abided by my duties. I have never harmed anyone, and I have never been disrespectful to you. Please help me."
The queen sneered in her heart, is that a small disaster?
Although Zhang Zize is not married, he seems to be two years older than the Regent Princess. He has not married because he wants to marry the most beautiful woman in the world and he is not satisfied with any of them, which is why he has been dragging it on until now.
As for herself... she has always been a good person, has never hurt anyone, and has never been disrespectful to me. Is she talking in her sleep?
She rarely left the Ninghe Palace on the pretext of not feeling well, but every time she went out something bad happened. Either the prince bumped into her and made her sick for a few days, causing her to be beaten by the emperor, or she saw a princess accidentally fall into the water and she jumped in to save her, only to catch a cold.
Haha, the imperial garden is so big and many concubines go there every day. How come the prince is so blind that he only bumps into her when she rarely comes out?
The princess was the same. She didn't fall into the water early or late, but as soon as she came out, she fell into a small pond.
The princess fell into the water, and all the palace servants around her didn't come to rescue her. But she, the imperial concubine who was in poor health and couldn't swim, jumped in. The servants stood by and shouted for help...
It was probably because that damn emperor was so lustful that he couldn't see it. Not only did he personally carry the person back to the palace, he also ordered a reprimand for the unfortunate princess who was pushed down.
There were also the deaths of several princes and princesses. Although she knew that most of them were done by Concubine Rou and the Third Princess, she would never believe that Concubine Zhang was not involved.
As for herself... for all these years, she had relied on her poor health to never pay her respects at Fengyi Palace, and she had also been whispering in the ear of that bastard emperor, openly and secretly, so that all the things that should have been sent to the queen were sent to her Ninghe Palace.
As for the others... there are too many to count, so I won’t mention them.
Concubine Zhang looks similar to Concubine Rou, both are delicate and weak, but if you open their hearts and compare them, Concubine Zhang is probably even more evil.
Seeing Concubine Zhang kneeling on the bed and kowtowed to her repeatedly, the Queen quickly stood up and helped her up: "Sister, what are you doing? You are weak, lie down quickly."
"I said it's not that I don't want to help my sister, it's that I don't have the face to help and I can't help."
The maid who had just gone to invite the Queen also knelt on the ground and said, "Queen, when I went to invite you just now, I saw that the Regent Princess of the Great Zhou had sent someone to give you a gift. It was a ring that is now on your finger. She must respect you very much. Please help my Queen, please, help my Queen."
The Queen stood up and her expression instantly turned cold. "I didn't know that a servant like you was always spying on what the Master was doing. I'm the Queen and you dared to watch my every move, let alone the Imperial Concubine."
"Come here, drag this palace maid away and beat her to death!"
Seeing that Concubine Zhang wanted to plead for mercy, the Queen continued in a cold voice: "Sister, as a Concubine, you should control the palace servants around you. If she can spy on me today, will she dare to go to the Imperial Study to see what the Emperor is doing in the future?"
"I am worried about this kind of person staying with my sister. It is better to have him beaten to death."
Concubine Zhang kept taking deep breaths. The one the Queen had beaten to death was the maid who had served her since she was a child, the maid she brought as a dowry from the Zhang family.
But thinking that he needed help from the other party, he turned his head away, unable to bear to listen to the noise outside.
After a long time, the maid's screams gradually weakened, and Concubine Zhang looked at the queen with red eyes and shed tears silently.
The Queen sighed and said, "I have already told the Emperor the truth about the Gu family when I went to see him just now. I am afraid that the Gu family will not only lose all their property, but will also be punished."
"After all, that's my sister's brother and sister-in-law's family, so it's better for me to stay out of it."
