Chapter 235: What a Concubine Ning
What Lin Zhi cut was not the small door, but the faces of Xiao Yuan and others.
With each blow of the axe, their faces turned grayer and grayer.
However, Lin Qingjun and Ji Chenchuan were not really happy at all. They were not the kind of people who would be happy to see others suffer. In their eyes, these people's reactions indirectly reflected the prince's shamelessness and his disgusting unworthiness for his position.
They knew that if Zong Yuanji continued like this, the hard-won peace and prosperity of the Great Qi Kingdom would fall into crisis again.
How could they laugh at this?
Ji Chenchuan and his people are still too upright and kind.
But, at this moment.
With the word "Stop", Concubine Ning appeared in front of everyone.
Lin Qingjun and Ji Chenchuan curled their lips and smiled, and the real fight was about to begin.
It has to be said that Concubine Ning's temperament and appearance are both unique. As soon as she appears, the entire back garden of the Lin Mansion becomes brighter.
She was wearing a royal blue palace dress, with two eight-tailed phoenix hairpins on her head, a touch of phoenix-tail cinnabar makeup on her white forehead, and a long skirt trailing behind her, looking dignified and elegant.
She was already a beauty, and now she was even more radiant. In addition, she had been in the palace for a long time, and the aura of a noble concubine was so overwhelming that these people were stunned and dared not move.
Oh, let me say something unpleasant.
In front of Concubine Ning, Lin Yingxue was not even as good as the head palace maid beside her, which made people understand why a candlelight cannot compete with the bright moon.
Look.
Lin Yingxue's face turned blue, and her long, sharp nails pinched her palms until they bled.
Humph, did she think that Lin Qingjun was the only one who was her enemy? Wasn't there a single woman in the world that could catch her eye? Was she completely blinded now?
Really, she is such a joke.
However, Lin Qingjun only glanced at Lin Yingxue once before looking no further. Compared to Concubine Ning, she was truly unremarkable. What kind of heroine was she? Perhaps that subtitle was a mistake. A heroine like her was truly rare.
When Zong Yuanji saw Concubine Ning, he was obviously startled and frowned to ask the guards beside him.
"Why is she here?"
The guards were also confused and shook their heads to indicate that they didn't know.
Zong Yuanji cursed inwardly, "What an idiot! You don't even know this?"
Seeing the Crown Prince's expression, Concubine Ning chuckled softly, "Prince, what's wrong with you? Why are you so shocked? Or is it that if you can come here, I can't come here?"
As if she suddenly thought of something, Concubine Ning said to Lin Zhi again, "I'm sorry, Master Lin, I'm so sorry for coming here without a note."
She said she was sorry, but in fact, not only did she not apologize, but she came and went in and out of the Lin Mansion as if she was in an empty house.
Zong Yuanji frowned even more tightly.
This is the Lin Mansion, not her palace as Concubine Ning, and he, the Crown Prince, is also here. How could she come in without saying hello and even without being discovered by his secret guards?
Concubine Ning, she looked down on him too much.
He also realized that this was a disguised demonstration by Concubine Ning. She was telling the prince that as long as Concubine Ning wanted to go somewhere, even he, the prince, could not stop her.
What a great Concubine Ning! What a great way to show your power. I admire her so much.
It would be a lie for Zong Yuanji to say he wasn't angry.
In his father's eyes, she was a favored concubine, but in his eyes, she was an enemy who was competing with him for the throne. If he ascended the throne one day, his first decree would be to send her to be buried with his father.
Didn't she like the emperor? Didn't she want to be an ordinary couple with him? He just had to help her.
Moreover, he had thought of this as early as when he was young. When she died, he would use the cheapest wood to build her a thin coffin, and then perform a ritual to send her to hell and never be reborn. In the end, who knows, he might even send her son to accompany her.
Don't blame him for being so cruel. He will kill anyone who stands in his way of the throne.
Zong Yuanji restrained his expression and put on a seemingly gentle but contemptuous smile.
"What are you saying, Your Majesty? Why would this Crown Prince be so shocked? I'm just wondering, does my father know that you came here like this?"
Zong Yuanji wasn't someone who could be manipulated. She had shown him power, but didn't he know how to fight back? Furthermore, he wasn't using any other tactics; he was using his father.
No matter how arrogant Concubine Ning is, she can't surpass her father, right?
Moreover, according to palace rules, concubines in the harem are absolutely not allowed to leave without permission. Even if they want to leave, they must inform the emperor and the queen one month in advance. Only after the emperor and the queen agree can she leave the palace.
It’s true that the emperor loves her, but he can’t do anything wrong, right?
Zong Yuanji smiled coldly. If Concubine Ning couldn't give a reason, then she shouldn't blame him, the Crown Prince, for being ruthless. He would exaggerate what happened today and report it to his father, the Emperor, and would never let her off easily.
As soon as Zong Yuanji finished speaking, the hearts of the people here trembled again, including Xiao Yuan.
Although they only exchanged a few words, they could sense the tension and confrontation. Lin Zhi was so frightened that his limbs went limp, and he had thrown the axe aside long ago. Qi and Lin Yingxue's expressions were not much better, they lowered their heads and trembled.
Xiao Yuan was a patient man. He stood straight beside the prince and looked calm, but if it weren't for the trembling hands hidden under his sleeves, he would have betrayed him.
Ji Chenchuan was curious, "Lin Qingjun, aren't you afraid?"
She should have seen how powerful Concubine Ning was a long time ago. This woman was moody. Even if she didn't say anything, she would vent her anger on that person as long as she was unhappy. In fact, she was as vicious as Empress Feng.
Lin Qingjun shook his head. "If it were in the past, I would have been afraid, but now, oh, I'm not afraid anymore."
Ji Chenchuan became more and more curious, "Why?"
Lin Qingjun said truthfully, "Have you ever heard that there are no absolutely good people or absolutely bad people in this world? If we look at it from her perspective, everything will seem reasonable."
Concubine Ning lost her family affection since childhood. She watched her elder sister being abused and killed tragically. After returning to Shangjing, she worked hard to climb up in order to avenge her elder sister one day.
After she had the Eleventh Prince, she regarded him as her only relative. Naturally, she wanted to give him the best things, even if it meant giving him her life.
And the best thing is the throne of Daqi.
Therefore, everything she does now has its reasons, so why should she be afraid of this woman?
Besides, "Is it too late for me to plot against her?"
Wasn't it Concubine Ning's doing that the Crown Prince came here today? If she had come a step later, she would have been seen by the Crown Prince.
but.
"Ji Chenchuan, since this is Concubine Ning's plan for me, why did you let her personally destroy it?"
