So it is normal for the prince to look at her differently.
Unexpectedly, the hope that had risen again was decisively dashed to hell by the following words.
Qian Yeming came before her like a god, sizing her up like an ant, and asked coldly, "Especially you. Don't say you're just the daughter of a prefect. Even if you were a princess from another country, if you dare to disrespect the Crown Princess, you won't survive in this Crown Prince's Mansion!
"Today, because the Crown Princess pleaded for your lives, I will give you a light punishment. If you make the same mistake again, or behave in an unseemly way, there are definitely more than a hundred punishments waiting for you in this Crown Prince's Mansion!"
At this moment, Qian Yeming exuded a dark aura, which shocked Ling Xiao so much that he trembled all over and could no longer utter a word.
Qian Yeming turned around and happened to see Zhang Wei, who was still soaked, and said coldly, "Zhang Wei, the chief steward of the Crown Prince's Mansion, disregarded my orders and accepted bribes. I remove him from his position as chief steward.
"The new steward, Liang Sheng, will take over all matters from Zhang Wei, including the keys and account books. Also, settle these women. From now on, all of them will be assigned to Yilan Pavilion to do odd jobs. No one is allowed to leave Yilan Pavilion without orders. Anyone who violates the order will be killed!"
"Yes, thank you for your support, Your Highness. I will definitely not let Your Highness down." Liang Sheng quickly knelt down to express his gratitude.
He was also an old man in the Eastern Palace, who had watched the prince grow up. On weekdays, because Zhang Wei had a better relationship with the prince, he was always bullied by him.
In fact, he had long known that Zhang Wei had done some shameful things behind the prince's back, but thinking of their relationship, he always felt that it was better to avoid trouble than to worry about it, and never complained to the prince.
Today, the Crown Prince had demoted this traitorous servant. He felt that His Royal Highness was absolutely wise. At the same time, he was proud of the Crown Prince's trust in him.
"Lord!"
Zhang Wei, standing by, was struck by lightning and fell to his knees upon hearing this order. Before he could even ask Qian Yeming to retract his order, he saw him leave with Murong Xiao in his arms.
From behind, the beauty's screams, like a pig being slaughtered, did not elicit any reaction from Zhang Wei.
At this moment, he felt as if his soul had been pulled out of him. He couldn't believe that the prince had actually abandoned the relationship he had grown up with for Murong Xiao.
Accepting bribes?
What a bribe!
Zhang Wei has been with him for 19 years. How many times has he accepted bribes during this period? Why hasn't he demoted him?
But this time, he threw away their relationship of more than ten years because of a woman he had lived with for less than three months. How could he be convinced?
Zhang Wei knelt on the ground, his body numb from the cold water. He could only feel his heart aching violently at these words. Watching the couple embrace and leave, a deep hatred rose in his eyes.
Liang Sheng and Zhang Wei have always been at odds. Seeing Zhang Wei like this, he just felt that he deserved it.
After taking over the position of chief steward, Liang Sheng immediately ordered: "Have the doctor wait here. If he is dead, throw him directly into the mass grave. If he is alive, treat him immediately. The sooner he is treated, the sooner he can get back to work. The Prince's Mansion never keeps idle people."
The worst off were these beauties who were beaten to death.
Normally they would boss people around and order others to beat them with sticks, but they themselves had never been subjected to such torture.
