At this moment, the East Palace was filled with smoke.
Concubine Li Yu was sitting on her knees on the ground, with a red slap mark on her left face and a trace of blood on her lips. Unlike the aggressive Crown Princess, she was unusually quiet.
The low eyebrows and submissive look make him look even more pitiful.
When the prince came in and saw this scene, he quickly helped Li Yu up. When he saw the slap marks on her face, he became furious and asked the prince: "How dare you do something to her?"
The Crown Princess felt sad and felt even more aggrieved: "Your Highness, you questioned me as soon as you came here. Do you know what this poisonous woman did to me?!"
"The concubine has never fought or fought with you, and I have never been on the same level with you. How has it ever been that you took the initiative to provoke me!" The prince scolded harshly: "You have caused a big disaster, and I haven't even asked you to settle the score, but you still want to kill the concubine? !”
"Ms. Jing, you are vicious and jealous, and you are not worthy of the position of Crown Princess!"
The Crown Princess staggered and barely managed to stabilize her body. She couldn't believe it, "Your Highness, you actually said that I am vicious?"
"Isn't it?" The prince's expression was sinister: "You can't do such a crazy thing as using human flesh as flower clay!"
"I was wronged!" The Crown Princess was shocked, angry and aggrieved. She pointed at Li Yu and said, "It's her! She clearly ordered people to do these things. I eat Fengui every day. If I knew it was raised from human flesh." How can I, my concubine, use what comes out on me?"
The prince also knew this, but now he was furious and spoke fiercely, without giving the prince any face.
"Today, many stumps and even human heads were dug out from below. Someone recognized that the head was the gardener who was killed by you some time ago!"
The prince stared at her coldly: "How many people have you sacrificed to death for those broken trees over the years, do you still want me to give it to you? It's you who sacrificed all the people, so who could have wronged you?"
The Crown Princess's lips trembled and she said angrily: "My concubine gave me death, but those are just slaves. They don't do their job well. So what if I give you death!"
"After I concubine them to death, the bodies were disposed of by my servants. I never ordered the human corpses to be chopped into pieces and planted in flowers!"
The prince sneered: "Then you can tell me how to dispose of those corpses?"
The Crown Princess spoke in a twinkling voice: "I don't know how I can interfere with these matters. I guess I was sent out of the palace and thrown into a mass grave."
The prince kicked over the stool next to him. The noise was so loud that the princess screamed.
"You obviously had people chop up the bodies and throw them into the pond! Mr. Jing, you are so vicious!"
"You know that the concubine likes to feed the fish in the carp pond. What do you mean by doing this?"
The Crown Princess bit her lip, knowing that the matter could no longer be concealed, and said in a cold voice: "Yes! I ordered the corpses of those slaves to be chopped into pieces and fed to the fish, but so what? They were all dead anyway! "
"Since Your Highness knows the situation, you shouldn't doubt Hao Duan. How could those broken corpses turn into mud?"
The Crown Princess glared at Li Yu fiercely: "Someone clearly did it on purpose!"
"Don't bring trouble to others." The prince looked at her coldly: "This matter has nothing to do with the concubine. It is your own fault. You have killed so many people. Do you really think that no one holds a grudge?"
"You asked someone to chop the body into pieces and feed it to the fish, but someone else chopped the body into pieces to raise your favorite flowers. Do you want to know who did this?"
"Bring the people up!"
When the prince's voice fell, an old eunuch was dragged up.
When the princess saw the old eunuch, she looked in disbelief.
The other party was an old man in her palace. The old eunuch knew that he was on the verge of death and was very calm at the moment: "Slave, I have served the crown princess for many years. At the end of the day, I took in two godsons. However, because I accidentally broke a flower branch, You, the Crown Princess, ordered me to be executed."
He chuckled as he spoke, staring at the Crown Princess with a pair of eyes that were already bloodshot from the torture, as if crazy and demonic: "The Crown Princess dislikes the dirty skin and smelly flesh of us cheap slaves, and soiled your flowers."
"I wonder how delicious the flowers raised by the flesh and blood of us despicable people are? Hahahaha! How good is the taste? How good is the taste??"
The old eunuch was crazy, and the prince waved his hands in disgust and ordered that he be executed directly.
The Crown Princess was reminded of bad memories, rushed to the side, held the spittoon and vomited.
The prince looked at her with disgust, hugged Li Yu, and ordered in a cold voice: "The princess has lost her moral character and will be grounded from today."
"In addition, I will chop down all the laurel trees in Toad Palace."
After that, he ignored the Crown Princess's complaints and left with Li Yu in his arms.
When he returned to the concubine's chamber, he couldn't help but look at Li Yu's face with distress.
"That vicious woman dared to be so cruel to you. I will not let her go lightly. Sooner or later, she will be deprived of her position as the concubine."
Li Yu's attitude was not enthusiastic, and his eyebrows were filled with sadness: "Actually, no matter whether I am the main concubine or the side concubine, as long as I can stay with His Highness, I will be satisfied."
When the prince heard this, he couldn't help but feel moved. He gently held his beloved wife into his arms, "Yu'er is considerate, how can I make you feel wronged."
Li Yu lowered his eyes and turned a little pale: "Your Highness, I really don't seek glory and wealth, I just want to stay with you."
She pursed her lips and finally said: "Your Highness, if you have to choose between the country and my concubine, who would you choose?"
The prince frowned, with a hint of displeasure in his eyes, and his tone became colder: "What happened to Yu'er today? He said such nonsense."
"The country belongs to me, and you also belong to me. I want both!"
Li Yu was not moved when she heard his domineering declaration. She just showed a sad smile as expected. She closed her eyes and hummed softly.
However, the prince felt that she was very unusual today. She was no longer as gentle and caring as before, and she was also more impatient.
"Concubine, please rest first. I am busy with government affairs. I will see you later."
"Okay, I will respectfully see you off to Your Highness."
Seeing the prince leaving without looking back, Li Yu still called him: "Your Highness..."
"What's the matter?"
Li Yu smiled and said, "I want to release the koi in the pond, and I just want to pray for His Highness. I want to ask Your Highness to agree."
The prince's expression softened slightly when he heard this, and he nodded in agreement: "It's just a small matter, you can arrange it yourself."
After that, the prince left.
Li Yu lowered his eyes, turned away from the palace servants who came to serve him, and sat alone in front of the dressing mirror, lost in thought. She looked at herself in the mirror, gently opened her clothes, and pulled off a gray-white scale from her chest.
The scales were like fish scales, carrying a faint fishy smell and rancid smell.
Li Yu numbly dropped the fish scales, looked at himself in the mirror, and murmured: "I'm finally leaving..."
