Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 766 Princess's Revenge 4

As soon as the emperor returned to the palace, he issued an imperial decree to adopt the third prince.

As for Shupin, she was demoted to a minor concubine by the emperor.

When Concubine Shu received the imperial edict, she fainted immediately.

When Shupin woke up, she was already in a small room in the side hall. When she was unconscious, she was carried out from the main hall.

"Your Majesty, you are so cruel!" Concubine Shu broke down and burst into tears. "How could you adopt my son away? After all, I have served you since I was a teenager. The Third Prince is also your own flesh and blood. How could you be so cruel to me and my son?"

"Your Highness, please stop crying. What if you get hurt?" Xiaohong, the maidservant of Concubine Shu, said while wiping her tears. "Your Highness, there is definitely room for recovery. I don't believe that the Emperor can be so cruel to the Third Prince."

"You are right. I have to go see the emperor now. Please pack up for me quickly." Shupin hurried to get out of bed.

When Concubine Shu hurried out of her palace, she unexpectedly met Concubine Hui just a few steps out of the palace gate.

Concubine Hui was the previous Imperial Concubine, and she was also the mother of the eldest prince. Because the eldest prince had done some good things recently, the emperor bestowed the title "Hui" on Concubine Hui, which was also a reward for the eldest prince.

As for restoring Concubine Hui's position as Imperial Concubine, forget it. In short, Concubine Hui hated Concubine Shu and Jiang Chunxi to death, and she couldn't do anything about Jiang Chunxi, so how could she not be able to do anything about the current Concubine Shu?

After all, Shupin was just a minor concubine now, and her son had been adopted out. Kicking the man when he was down was Huifei's favorite thing to do. When Shupin was unconscious, she was carried to a small room in the side hall. It was Huifei who had ordered her to do that.

"Oh! Isn't this Shu Da Ying?" Concubine Hui looked at Shu Da Ying with contempt. From now on, she would address Shu Bin as Shu Da Ying. "You said you didn't want to lie down in bed, but why did you run out?"

"Someone, come! Take Shu Ying back and keep her under guard for me. Don't let her run around."

"Empress Hui, please don't go too far," Shu Ying ordered, "Even if I am demoted to a concubine, you, Empress Hui, have no power..."

"Snapped!"

Concubine Hui slapped Shu Yingying on the face and said, "You are just a little concubine now, and you dare to call yourself a concubine."

Then Hui Fei pinched Shu Ying's chin and said, "Shu Ying, how come you still can't see your own situation clearly? I know you are going to see the emperor, but the emperor has clearly shown that he hates you, so let alone asking someone to keep you under guard, even if I kill you directly, the emperor won't do anything to me, maybe he will even reward me."

"Hmph!" Concubine Hui then shook off Shu's chin, took the handkerchief handed over by the palace maid and wiped her hands, as if touching Shu's hand had made her hands dirty. "Shu, if you beg for mercy from me now, I might even show mercy and let you go."

"My shoes are a little dirty. Kneel down and lick them clean now. Maybe if you please me, I will let you go for a few days and let you live a relaxing life. Otherwise..."

Concubine Hui showed a malicious smile: "Otherwise, there are endless ways to torture people in the harem. Shu Ying is an old lady in the palace after all. I believe you should know that being targeted by the superiors will make you live worse than a dog. Not having enough food and warm clothes are just appetizers."

"So you should think carefully about whether you want to kneel down and lick my shoes clean. After all, I will only give you this chance once, and I won't give you a second chance."

"You...you're dreaming," Shu Yingda was so angry that she was shaking all over. "A gentleman can be killed but not humiliated. If you have the guts, just kill me. Don't dream if you want me to wag my tail and beg for mercy from you."

"Okay, okay," Concubine Hui was so angry that she laughed, "Since you are so strong-willed, I will grant your wish."

"Someone, come! Take Shu Ying to Fengzao Palace for me. I want to see how tough Shu Ying is today."

The eunuch behind Concubine Hui immediately stepped forward to control Shu and agreed.

"Let me go, let me go," Shu agreed and struggled hard, "You two damn slaves, why don't you let me go now."

"Empress Hui, please forgive my master!" Xiao Hong knelt down and cried for mercy:

"Someone come! This slut actually dared to offend me, drag her away and give her thirty lashes!" As soon as Concubine Hui's voice fell, a eunuch immediately dragged Xiaohong away.

Thirty lashes of the cane would leave a woman disabled, if not dead.

As for the other servants around Shu Ying, they were all sent back to the Imperial Household Department by Concubine Hui when she was unconscious.

Of course, the main reason was that when the servants around Shu Da Ying saw that she had lost power, they naturally became demoralized. Of course, they would be more than happy to leave Shu Da Ying.

Only Xiaohong was loyal and refused to leave no matter what, so she stayed with Shu Dacheng.

The news that Shu Da Ying was tortured by Concubine Hui and taken to Fengzao Palace by Concubine Hui soon reached the Imperial Noble Concubine.

Fengzao Palace is the palace where Concubine Hui lived.

As for the Imperial Concubine...

Yes, the emperor did not appoint another queen, because in the emperor's heart, the queen could only be his beloved wife. Even if his beloved wife passed away, the emperor would never let anyone else sit on the throne.

"Your Highness, should we take care of this matter?" the imperial concubine's trusted maid said worriedly, "I'm afraid that Concubine Hui has gone too far. If this doesn't accidentally cost Shu's life, I'm afraid you won't be able to explain to the emperor!"

"Don't worry! Since the emperor has abandoned Shu Da Ying and her son, he will naturally not care about Shu Da Ying's life or death," the imperial concubine said sarcastically, "Our emperor has given his whole heart to the late queen and the eldest princess. The concubines in the harem, as well as all the princes and princesses, have never been spared by the emperor."

The Imperial Noble Consort has a son and a daughter. Her daughter is only two years younger than Jiang Chunxi, and her son is even younger, currently only eight years old.

She has both a son and a daughter, so it would be strange for the Imperial Concubine not to feel resentful when the Emperor gives all his love to the eldest princess.

However, the Imperial Concubine also knew that no matter how resentful she was, she could not show it, otherwise her career as the Imperial Concubine would be over.

"Sometimes I really envy the late queen!" The Imperial Noble Consort sneered, "This person is already dead, but she still holds the emperor's heart firmly. Look at how the emperor dotes on the eldest princess. If the late queen knew about this, she would probably be very proud!"

"The late queen died at the prime of her life, when she and the emperor had a deep relationship, so naturally the emperor would never forget her," said the imperial concubine's trusted maid. "If I were to ask you, if the late queen hadn't died of complications during childbirth, the emperor's love for her would have faded a long time ago."

"After all, beauty fades and love fades. No matter how passionate the feelings are, they cannot resist the aging of a woman's appearance. Men always lust after young and beautiful women."
