Forced to be a third person: I turned around and left the palace to marry a villain
Chapter 408: Self-blame and worry
They staggered forward and fell, bringing down a large group of people. There was a series of chain reactions, and a group of people fell to the ground one after another like dominoes.
"You useless pieces of shit, get up now! You're really embarrassing yourself." Mrs. Cheng got so angry when she saw how useless they were that she yelled at them impatiently.
"The princess is still taking a nap, what are you ladies planning to do?"
Fu Dong blocked the door, preventing them from approaching, and signaled to the servants in Jiang Xue's yard to surround the group of people.
"What Madam? Miss Fudong, don't you know that this lady is already our royal concubine? In front of the concubine, you, as a maid, don't kneel down to pay respect, but are so arrogant. Does this count as insubordination?"
Madam Cheng sneered and didn't take Fu Dong seriously at all.
"Sister Cheng, don't say that. Miss Fudong is a favorite of the princess. I made her a concubine and she stood up for the princess, so it is understandable that she was a little rude." Although the words were polite, the provocative expression on her face could not be hidden.
Concubine Zhou raised her chin, the contempt in her eyes evident.
"My Lady Concubine, you are now the most favored one in the palace by His Highness. In terms of status, the Princess will probably have to give you some ground. No matter how close Fu Dong is to the Princess, she is still just a maid. No matter how high-ranking a maid is, she is still a maid. She should pay respect to you, My Lady Concubine.
Didn't the Princess always say that we must abide by the rules of the palace? Now that Fu Dong is not abiding by the rules, he should be punished. Concubine, you don't have to be so tolerant. You are too kind, so you let a southern barbarian ride on your head. "
These words came from Madam Feng's mouth, with a mean look on her face, and every word she said was sour. She was fanning the flames of Concubine Zhou overtly and covertly, trying to sow discord between the two.
The last sentence, a hidden arrow hurts people, a southern barbarian, is not only scolding Fu Dong, but also humiliating Jiang Xue. And the sentence "let the barbarians ride on your head" completely touched the pain point of Concubine Zhou.
As the daughter of a noble family, Zhou looked down on Jiang Xue from the day she entered the mansion, even though she was a princess.
Qian Kingdom is just a small barbarian country in the south, but she is the daughter of a noble in Beiling. In terms of status, Zhou thinks she is much nobler than Jiang Xue, so why should she be suppressed by her.
Madam Feng was right. She was now the most favored person in the palace. Because of her favor, the Zhou family's strength had also been improved by the emperor! Then what reason did she have to compromise and look at Jiang Xue's face like before?
Thinking of this, Concubine Zhou's eyes revealed a hint of viciousness: "Madam Feng has a point. That's right, in Prince Gong's Mansion, you have to abide by the rules of Prince Gong's Mansion. The princess is so abiding by the rules. As a daughter of a noble, how can I go against her wishes? Fudong, you don't kneel when you see a concubine like me, and you dare to be so rude and stop me from paying my respects to the princess. You should be punished. Come, prepare the needle punishment."
Last time, she let this girl escape punishment, causing her Juan'er to suffer a lot. This time, she will definitely not let Fudong go easily.
"It seems that Concubine Zhou's memory is not very good." Before the maids behind Concubine Zhou could make any move, the door behind Fudong slowly opened.
Jiang Xue walked out and glanced coldly at the group of women who were making trouble at the door, implying that they were overestimating their own abilities.
"I have made it very clear in front of His Highness last time that my people are not allowed to be touched at will. Concubine Zhou, are you deaf or mentally ill? Don't you understand?"
The rising tone frightened Concubine Zhou so much that her whole body trembled.
Jiang Xue clearly did nothing. She just stood there and asked a question, but Concubine Zhou's body felt cold uncontrollably and she couldn't control it at all.
The other ladies were also shocked by Jiang Xue's aura, and for a moment, they dared not breathe.
"Your Highness, you emphasized the rules, and I also acted according to the rules. Fu Dong was rude to the concubine, shouldn't he be punished for insubordination?" Concubine Zhou finally came to her senses and opened her mouth to refute Jiang Xue, but she was lightly retorted.
"Rules, right? Okay! Then today, this princess will explain the rules to you." This was the first time that Jiang Xue called herself "this princess" in public. Today, she wanted to use this identity to let these women know who the real master is.
"This is my princess's courtyard. You are not allowed to enter without being summoned according to the rules! But you took advantage of my nap and not only broke in without permission, but also cried thief and wanted to punish Fu Dong who was maintaining order. What, do you want to rebel?"
Jiang Xue's sarcastic tone left Concubine Zhou speechless. Seeing that she was losing to Jiang Xue in momentum, Zhou was extremely dissatisfied.
The fabric in her hands was crumpled out of shape, and her eyes were darting around. She happened to catch a glimpse of Xiao Zhan's figure slowly approaching not far away, and a hint of cunning flashed in her eyes.
She curled her lips, pretending to be about to cry, took a few steps forward, and suddenly grabbed Jiang Xue's arm and pushed hard.
"Ouch." A scream.
Concubine Zhou was seen sitting on the ground, with her hands on the gravel, looking as if she was in excruciating pain.
Jiang Xue staggered a few steps because she was pushed, but fortunately Fu Dong supported her in time.
"Princess, are you okay?" Fudong felt both guilty and worried.
Just now, she was careless for a moment and allowed Concubine Zhou to get close to the princess.
"I'm fine." Jiang Xue shook her head and felt a chill on her sleeves. She looked down and saw that Concubine Zhou had torn her sleeves.
Ta-da-da, an exquisite dice slipped from her sleeve, and after spinning a few times, she quickly picked it up.
He turned around and quietly observed the reactions of the women in front of him. Fortunately, they were all secluded ladies who didn't know much about the world. Even if they saw the exquisite dice, they just regarded it as an ordinary decoration and didn't take it seriously.
However, Bai Mian, who was disguised as Mrs. Chu, suddenly narrowed his eyes when he saw the exquisite dice.
Linglong dice? Is Princess Gong related to Linglong Pavilion? He had been lurking in Prince Gong's Mansion for so long just to help Jun Li collect evidence of the connection between Prince Gong's Mansion and Linglong Pavilion. Unexpectedly, after searching for so long, he unexpectedly found a clue today.
It seems necessary to come to Princess Gong's courtyard tonight. As long as they get the exquisite dice, their highness can use it to overthrow Xiao Zhan.
"My Lady Concubine, are you okay?" Concubine Zhou fell down, and Madam Cheng and Madam Wei supported her on both sides, preparing to help her up.
After receiving her eye signal, the two accused Jiang Xue in unison: "Princess, how could you push the concubine! The concubine came to pay her respects to you out of kindness."
As soon as Xiao Zhan arrived, he saw a lively scene of a group of people surrounding Jiang Xue's courtyard.
Concubine Zhou was supported by Cheng and Wei. Her face was pale, her eyes were tearful, and she looked very frail, as if she had suffered a great injustice.
Jiang Xue looked at her with a sullen face, and Fu Dong, who was standing next to her, also had a gloomy look on his face.
