Chapter 157: Beaten to death
Her five senses are naturally more sensitive than others.
This was something she had known since she was a child, but she had never told anyone about it, including her aunt, for she was afraid that her aunt would worry about her.
Because having sensitive five senses is not a good thing.
She had heard a story about a man with excellent hearing. He could hear sounds as simple as mosquitoes and flies from a distance of ten feet away. This man could be called a strange person. He originally thought he could make a fortune with this, but he didn't expect that he would be knocked unconscious and taken away.
When everyone saw him again, not only had his ears been cut off, but his eyes and tongue had also been cut off. His death was horrific.
She knew that he was being envied, or that someone was taking advantage of him and was afraid that he would reveal the secret, so he brought disaster upon himself. This was the same as her aunt, who was obviously beautiful and had a pair of skillful hands, but wasn't she also suppressed and crippled by the lady?
Therefore, she held on to this secret tightly and didn't tell anyone. She didn't want to die for the time being, and she still had her aunt to take care of.
Therefore, with her keen five senses, she can distinguish more delicate colors of embroidery threads, and the embroidered patterns are more vivid than others. Therefore, the dishes she cooks are more delicious than others. Therefore, she can now smell scents that others cannot smell.
Lin Qingjun continued, "This fragrance is not for men, and the Eleventh Prince is a chaste man, never having other women around him. Therefore, apart from the Imperial Concubine, I can't think of anyone else who could be in the Eleventh Prince's mansion."
Lin Qingjun lowered her head again and stated her purpose, "Please ask the Imperial Concubine to save Prince Ji this time."
Concubine Ning sneered, "You said to save him? Who do you think I am? Also, do you know how to save Prince Ji?"
Lin Qingjun nodded, "The Queen's life-saving pill will do."
Concubine Ning laughed even louder, her voice thick with sarcasm, "You want me to save Ji Chenchuan for you? And you even ask the Queen's Gate for that life-saving pill? Second Miss Lin, are you crazy?"
Is she bold enough to ask for this directly?
Are all the young ladies in Beijing so unrestrained nowadays?
If someone came and knelt before her and asked her to save them, then what would she become as a royal concubine? A turtle in a wishing well?
Concubine Ning's expression turned even uglier as she thought of this. "Miss Lin, you'd better leave now before I lose my temper. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that you will remain a healthy person in the future."
Lu Shui and Zong Yuancheng gasped when they heard this.
In other words, the Imperial Concubine intended to kill Lin Qingjun?
However, it would be better for Lin Qingjun to leave at this time, because Concubine Ning said that it was wrong. For her, a noble concubine, killing a little concubine from a fourth-rank mansion was easier than crushing an ant.
Even Zong Yuancheng went in to plead for Lin Qingjun and save her life.
But Lin Qingjun, this "stupid" one, didn't move at all. Was she stupid? Don't be so pretentious at this moment. Beg for mercy.
Her cold, dark eyes were fixed on the marble floor in front of her. Even though it was early summer and the sun outside was unusually hot, the coolness of the ground penetrated directly into her knees and spread to her limbs.
She ignored all this. Ji Chenchuan was still waiting for her to save him. He was right. At this moment, no one could help him except her.
Lin Qingjun said, "Prince Ji is a good friend of the Eleventh Prince. For this reason, please help Prince Ji."
When Concubine Ning heard this, she laughed again.
"Miss Lin, I think you've really gone crazy. You've started talking nonsense."
"How could that sickly prince be friends with my Cheng'er? He was driven out of Shangjing twice in these years, both because of Ji Chenchuan."
"Not only are they not friends, but they are enemies. This is known to everyone in Shangjing City."
"As a mother, I saw my own son being bullied like this. I'm lucky I didn't add insult to injury this time. You actually asked me to help him? It's ridiculous."
is that so?
Lin Qingjun disagreed.
If the two of them were really enemies, then the imperial concubine would have strangled Ji Chenchuan to death the first time he took the eleventh prince out. Why would she keep Ji Chenchuan until now?
People outside also said that perhaps Concubine Ning let Ji Chenchuan go for the sake of the Marquis of Wu'an's Mansion.
So, what about the second time?
Why did Concubine Ning not take any action when the eleventh prince left the capital for the second time?
At that time, Ji Chenchuan was in Qingyun Mountain and not in the capital at all. This was a good opportunity to kill Ji Chenchuan. We must send a few palace guards with high martial arts skills, and Ji Chenchuan would definitely die.
But still nothing.
This is enough to prove that Concubine Ning did not really want to kill Ji Chenchuan, and it also shows that... the Eleventh Prince really needs to be trained. Concubine Ning regards Ji Chenchuan as a whetstone to train her own son.
Therefore, Ji Chenchuan did not die and lived to this day.
Zong Yuancheng looked at the silent emotions surging between them, his mouth twitching slightly.
How did he become the one who needed to be disciplined? Was he really that bad? He was clearly a godly and heroic being.
"Shut up."
Concubine Ning was so angry that her head hurt. How could she, who was so smart, give birth to such a troublesome son?
Zong Yuancheng felt even more aggrieved, "Mother, Mother, I didn't say anything."
Concubine Ning laughed angrily and gave him a self-aware look.
He didn't say it, but the expression on his face was already written. He was going to be the emperor in the future, so he had to keep his emotions to himself, didn't he? He couldn't let anyone see what was going on in his heart.
Why does His Majesty have such a stern face every day? Isn't it because of this? Why does His Majesty have so many dishes on his table, each with only three chopsticks? Isn't it because he doesn't want others to know his preferences?
Zong Yuancheng can't even do this, who knows how he will be killed in the future?
Concubine Ning looked at Lin Qingjun who was lying motionless below. Although she didn't say anything, the aura emanating from her said it all.
She chuckled. She was really becoming more and more reluctant to part with Lin Qingjun. Not only was she beautiful, but she was also smart and looked a third of what she did when she was young.
However, this is still not her reason to save Ji Chenchuan.
After all, she didn't want to humble herself in front of the Queen now. Besides, the Prince had done something like that at her Summer Banquet. The Queen said that she didn't blame him, but she couldn't get over it in her heart. If she went to beg her again now, wouldn't it give her the opportunity to vent her anger?
She's not that stupid.
But just as Concubine Ning was about to wave goodbye, Lin Qingjun said something that made it impossible for her to wave goodbye.
Lin Qingjun kowtowed again.
"Your Majesty, I have a prescription here that I would like to offer you."
Concubine Ning laughed again. Prescription? She wasn't sick, so what kind of prescription did she need?
But when she got the prescription, she slammed the table and stood up.
"Come here, drag this daring and evil slave away and beat him to death with clubs."
