Concubine Xuan was so angry that she almost fainted: "Who do you think you are? How dare you talk to me like this?"
The maid in charge immediately slapped her in the face and said, "You still think you are His Majesty's concubine. Anyone who comes here is left to fend for themselves. You are worse than pigs and dogs."
Concubine Xuan was completely stunned. Feeling the burning pain on her cheek, she was so angry that veins bulged on her forehead: "Damn you bitch, you dare to hit me, I'll beat you to death."
After she finished speaking, she rushed over and started fighting with the housekeeper.
Seeing this, the maid He Ye did not go over to help, nor did she say anything to stop it.
She didn't want to come in the first place. If she had known that Concubine Xuan would be banished to the cold palace, she would rather die than be Concubine Xuan's maid.
Now Concubine Xuan is in the cold palace and she still can't figure out her identity. She deserves it.
"Someone, come quickly and hold this crazy woman down!" the housekeeper shouted.
Several old maids outside the door immediately rushed in and held Concubine Xuan's hands on both sides. Only then did the housekeeper get away.
"You bitch, you actually dare to hit me? I think you are looking for death, hit me!" the housekeeper ordered.
"Yes." The old maids immediately punched and kicked Concubine Xuan.
Concubine Xuan didn't know any martial arts, so how could she be a match for several people alone? She was beaten and cried miserably.
After a while, the housekeeper saw that Concubine Xuan had stopped struggling, so she let her go. "Now that you are here, you should know your identity. You dare to show off in front of me? You must be tired of living. Since you are asking for death, I will starve her for three days. No one is allowed to give her food."
"yes."
The housekeeper left, and several old maids followed her. Concubine Xuan was lying on the ground dying. Looking at their backs, she wished she could cut them into pieces.
At this moment, Concubine Xuan swore in her heart that today's humiliation would be returned tenfold or a hundredfold sooner or later.
The maid He Ye then came over and said, "My lady, are you okay?"
The concubine glared at her angrily: "Do you think I look good? Why didn't you help me just now?"
"Your Majesty, I was so scared just now. They were so scary that I couldn't react for a while." He Ye explained.
Concubine Xuan was extremely angry: "Idiot!"
He Ye didn't say anything more, but helped Concubine Xuan up. Seeing her being beaten like a pig's head, the resentment in her heart subsided a lot.
The housekeeper said that no one dared to bring food to Concubine Xuan. At first, Concubine Xuan was quite stubborn and didn't care at all.
But on the third day, Concubine Xuan and He Ye were so hungry that Concubine Xuan no longer cared about her dignity.
She couldn't starve to death in the cold palace, she had to get out
"Someone come, someone come, I want to eat, bring me some food!" Concubine Xuan roared.
The servant who was guarding the place ignored him completely, just stood there motionless, pretending not to hear.
Concubine Xuan was furious: "I am Concubine Xuan, the mother of Prince Mo. Although I am imprisoned here, Prince Mo will come to rescue me sooner or later. If Prince Mo sees that I have been starved to death by you, he will never let you go!"
The guard was finally shaken and immediately went to report to the matron.
Just then, Concubine Ji came over and heard the servant's report.
"I'm sorry to have embarrassed you, Concubine Ji." The housekeeper said respectfully.
"Since Concubine Xuan is hungry, I will personally deliver food to her." Jipin ordered.
"Yes, why don't you go and get the food." said the housekeeper.
The old maid beside her brought the food quickly, but Concubine Ji frowned: "How can she, a criminal who framed the Crown Prince and His Majesty, be worthy of eating these white flour buns?"
The housekeeper understood what she meant: "What the Concubine Ji taught you is true, why don't you change it quickly?"
"Yes." The old maid took it away immediately and came back after a while.
Jipin took a look at the food and was very satisfied: "I will give this to Concubine Xuan from now on."
"yes."
Concubine Xuan, who was imprisoned inside, finally heard the footsteps and was very excited. However, when she saw who was coming, her face immediately turned cold.
"What are you doing here?" Concubine Xuan snorted angrily.
She didn't expect that the first person to add insult to injury would be Concubine Ji.
"Of course I came to see how Concubine Xuan, the only favorite in the harem, has fallen. Oh, by the way, you have been stripped of your title by His Majesty and demoted to a commoner. Now you are nothing but a stray dog. You really deserve it!" Concubine Ji humiliated.
Concubine Xuan was so angry that her face turned pale: "Damn it, do you think you are so great? His Majesty announces a concubine every year. When the time comes, the new people laugh and the old people cry. It's your turn to cry."
"Then I'll wait. I heard from the housekeeper that you haven't eaten for three days. Go eat." Concubine Ji snorted coldly and threw the food to the ground.
Concubine Xuan gnashed her teeth in hatred, but she had not eaten for three days and would have starved to death. She had no time to care about her dignity and immediately picked up the food box on the ground.
But when she saw the food inside, Concubine Xuan could no longer bear it and threw the food to the ground in anger.
"Princess Ji, you bitch, how dare you feed me such rotten food? Someone, come here, I want to see His Majesty, someone, come here!" Concubine Xuan shouted.
No matter how she shouted, no one paid any attention.
Jipin sneered: "I advise you to face the reality. It's useless even if you shout at the top of your lungs. After you come to the cold palace, you are only fit to eat pig food. You will live a life worse than pigs and dogs!"
Concubine Xuan was so angry that she realized something was wrong. "Why do you hate me so much? Even if I punished you before, you didn't have to do that. Think back to the past. You always opposed me. Why?"
Ji Bin's eyes flashed with sarcasm: "Because you killed the person I loved the most, the person I wanted to spend my life with. So I live to avenge you. As long as I can trip you up, I'm willing to die."
Concubine Xuan was confused: "When did I kill the person you loved the most? Why don't I remember?"
"At that time, Brother Mu and I loved each other deeply and decided to get married after the New Year, so I went to Baoen Temple to burn incense and pray for my marriage with Brother Mu.
Unexpectedly, I met you and His Majesty going there to burn incense. At that time, His Majesty's jade pendant fell off and I happened to pick it up. I was just returning the jade pendant to him, but I didn't expect that Your Majesty would take a fancy to it.
Later, an imperial decree came from the palace, asking me to enter the palace. I was completely dumbfounded at that time. My brother Mu and I had already set a date for our wedding, so how could I enter the palace?
I cried, made a fuss, and even tried to hang myself, and even went on a hunger strike, but my parents said that if I didn't go to the palace, it would be like disobeying the order and my entire family would be executed, and my brother Mu would also be implicated.
Brother Mu found me and said he wanted to elope with me. I also wanted to fight for myself once, so I agreed to Brother Mu's request.
But as soon as we left the city, soldiers chased us. I didn't want to go back with them, so Brother Mu was strangled to death by those soldiers in order to protect me.
I watched him die in front of me with my own eyes, but I was powerless to do anything. I was so angry at that time, so angry that I swore to avenge Brother Mu.
So I entered the palace, and one day I accidentally overheard a conversation between Your Majesty and you, and learned that it was you who gave Your Majesty the idea to have the guards stay near my house to prevent me from escaping.
If I elope, someone will kill my brother Mu. So you killed my brother Mu, how can I let you go!" Jipin said angrily.
