"Wow, how heroic!"
Rong Xi watched Song Consort's outburst with an air of schadenfreude.
What was unfolding before Rong Xi was just like a movie or TV show. Yes, that's right, a movie or TV show, and she was not only a viewer but also a film critic.
However, neither moviegoers nor film critics can ultimately change the film's effect.
Guarjia summoned Consorts Song and Li with ill intentions. Therefore, although Rongxi felt considerable regret for the historical Crown Princess Guarjia, once she herself became a figure in history, she could no longer view these events and people from a godlike perspective.
While Guarjia is indeed pitiful and pathetic, she is now attempting to inflict that same pitifulness upon Rong Xi. Regardless of her reasons for doing so, the fact remains that she is becoming an aggressor.
In that case, they are enemies.
She traveled through this magical time and space, inheriting everything from the Ulanara clan; therefore, she is the Ulanara clan. Even though her relationship with the Fourth Prince is still uncertain, she must safeguard her sovereignty and integrity before she abandons him.
Consort Li was out of the question, as was Consort Song. Similarly, any other woman from the Guarjia clan that they wanted to place near the Fourth Prince was also out of the question.
"Ms. Song, you think too highly of yourself!"
"Similarly, you underestimate me."
"Who do you think you are? A mere concubine, nominally a concubine, but still just a concubine. Let alone the fact that you are still a virgin, even if you really became Prince Yong's woman, if I wanted to deal with you, I certainly could!"
Lady Guarjia was truly amused by Song's concubine, General.
She was the Empress, the Empress who ruled the world.
She is now connected to the fate of the Qing Dynasty. Given the Qing Dynasty's national fortune, dealing with a woman like Consort Song, a member of the imperial family's harem, would not be too difficult.
"Is that so? Then why don't you deal with the concubines?"
Consort Song's temper can be really explosive at times.
She suffered a lot because of this.
However, her personality truly exemplifies the saying, "It's easier to change mountains and rivers than to change one's nature."
Whenever it came to a crucial moment, Consort Song's temper would always flare up.
Consort Li, standing to the side, was genuinely anxious as she watched Consort Song and Lady Guarjia stubbornly refusing to let go. It wasn't that she was truly concerned about Consort Song, but rather that if Lady Guarjia were to actually punish her, she would be in a very passive position in the Yong Prince's residence, and would lose the leverage she had in many situations.
"Your Majesty, Consort Song only—"
"Shut up!"
Guarjia shouted, interrupting Consort Li. Her gaze was fixed on Consort Song's pretty face, her heart burning with rage.
"Song, since you are so ungrateful, if I don't make you understand the hierarchy of this world, wouldn't you be looking down on me? Tell me, is that right?"
After Guarjia finished speaking, her gaze locked onto Consort Song's eyes.
Consort Song was indeed a straightforward girl. Hearing Guarjia's words, which were clearly meant to give her a way out, she didn't understand at all. Instead, she laughed arrogantly and said, "Haha, you are the Empress, the mother of the nation. What you say is right, of course it is right. I am just a concubine. How dare I question the authority of Your Majesty the Empress?"
Upon hearing Consort Song's words, Consort Li's forehead instantly broke out in a sweat.
Consort Song's words just now truly offended Empress Guarjia. Given Empress Guarjia's status, if she wanted to punish her, why would she bother with such nonsense?
This is clearly a ladder offered by the Guarjia clan to lower themselves downhill.
But Consort Song hadn't thought that far ahead; she was currently focused on arguing with Lady Guarjia. It wasn't that Consort Song was oblivious to change or these social niceties, but rather that her judgment was somewhat flawed at this moment.
At this moment, Consort Song's mindset is like this.
She was trying to portray herself as a loyal and unyielding person, but the ladder that Guarjia offered her was, in Song Cefujin's eyes, nothing more than a sugar-coated bullet.
Thus, Consort Song made a spectacularly wrong choice.
"Good, good, it's really good!"
Guarjia's last act of goodwill was rejected, and he laughed in exasperation.
"Granny Miao, go to the Imperial Clan Court and convey my imperial decree: strip Song of her status as the wife of Prince Yong, demote her to commoner status, and send her entire family to the Imperial Household Department as slaves!"
kill?
Guarjia clan wasn't that ruthless, but she could make Consort Li fall from heaven to hell.
In the Qing Dynasty, a prince's secondary consort was a very prestigious position. But she was not the most prestigious; above her were many other people of high status.
If Consort Song possessed terrifying talent in cultivation, or if her current cultivation level were extremely high, Lady Guarjia would need to be wary of her. However, the current situation is that Consort Song possesses neither.
"As you command, Your Majesty!"
Upon hearing Guarjia's words, Granny Miao's face lit up with joy. Previously, she had been nearly defeated by Consort Song's retaliation. Now, heaven had taken pity on her; those destined to die would eventually die. Uh, no, Consort Song wouldn't die, but she would suffer a fate worse than death.
The Xinzheku place, hmph, is not a place for good people.
Even someone like Granny Miao, a Nascent Soul cultivator who had witnessed countless ups and downs in the palace, was overjoyed to hear of Lady Guarjia's punishment of Consort Song. This clearly demonstrates that the Imperial Laundry Department was truly not a good place.
Rong Xi was naturally aware of the Xin Zhe Ku (a place for storing laundry and groceries).
But it was clear that the Xin Zhe Ku (a place for laundry servants) she knew was not the same place as the Xin Zhe Ku that Granny Miao knew. Judging from Granny Miao's expression, there was probably something seriously wrong with this Xin Zhe Ku.
"I'm not going!"
"Guarjia, you are unworthy to be the mother of the nation! You are neither kind nor compassionate; you are nothing but a shrew!"
I curse you!
"I'll fight you to the death!"
Consort Song was furious!
After Guarjia said those words about punishing her, Consort Song lost her previous straightforwardness and completely turned into a powder keg, exploding on the spot.
She howled and then attacked Guarjia.
A silver dagger, about the size of a thumb, was thrust out with lightning speed under the spiritual control of Consort Song, appearing instantly in front of Guarjia's face.
If this attack lands, even if Guarjia doesn't die, she will be seriously injured.
Buzz!
With a slight tremor, a faint golden light appeared around Guarjia's body. The golden light protected her, blocking Consort Song's sudden attack with a silver dagger, preventing the strike from landing.
Even so, everyone was shocked!
Just as she was about to leave, Granny Miao turned around with lightning speed, her hand transforming into a blade, and slashed fiercely at Consort Song. With the force of the blow, Consort Song's protective jade certificate shattered.
