Liu Bao replied, "It's locked in the side room."

Su Zhilan's eyes were red, and she ordered in a deep voice, "Take me there."

Liu Bao didn't know what the Crown Princess was going to do, but he still ordered someone to take her to the room where Jiang Shuyun was staying.

In the side room, Jiang Shuyun was tied to a chair with a rag stuffed in his mouth.

Su Zhilan walked closer and took the rag out of Jiang Shuyun's mouth first.

Then, without saying anything, he slapped him twice.

Jiang Shuyun was beaten dizzy by Su Zhilan and it took him a long time to regain consciousness.

She looked up and said unconvincedly, "The Crown Princess is really selfish. Since you haven't reached the age of marriage, none of us can consummate the marriage with His Highness."

"Are you particularly happy that the Crown Prince has remained chaste for you?"

Su Zhilan thought, happy? She didn't feel happy.

Just seeing him like that, I feel a little sad.

She said in a cold voice: "His Highness is a person, not an object. Whether he pampers you or keeps his chastity, it is his own choice."

"You, on the other hand, dared to drug him. You deserve to die."

Jiang Shuyun felt that Su Zhilan was just talking without any hesitation. She was the favored one, so naturally she could stand here and make accusations with a righteous attitude.

If they swapped identities, Su Zhilan might be even more violent than her.

Jiang Shuyun thought for a moment and said, "But don't be too happy too soon. If he really wanted you, he could just not allow us to enter the East Palace."

It is a dream to expect a country's crown prince to be loyal to one person forever.

But her words had no effect on Su Zhilan at all.

Then Su Zhilan coldly ordered the guards at the door, "Come here, Concubine Jiang will be punished with thirty strokes of the cane."

The guard at the door received the order, came in, untied the rope on Jiang Shuyun, and dragged him out.

Jiang Shuyun was shocked and shouted quickly: "How dare you? I am also the concubine of Royal Jade Butterfly. Why do you hit me?"

Su Zhilan walked up to her, stared at her and said, "You'd better pray that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is okay, or I'll kill you."

Jiang Shuyun never expected that the Crown Princess, who was always calm and soft-spoken, could be so vicious.

Su Zhilan watched coldly as the guards dragged the man to the door and put him on a long chair.

Those who beat him up were guards from the Eastern Palace, and they were skilled in martial arts.

After the first blow, Jiang Shuyun wailed and fainted.

Su Zhilan was not moved at all: "Wake him up and continue beating him."

The guard received the order and poured a basin of cold water on him.

Jiang Shuyun woke up again, but before he could come to his senses, he was hit with another stick.

He was beaten with ten boards and then poured with three basins of cold water.

"Stop it, let him go."

Following a woman's loud shout, a group of people came in from outside the East Palace gate.

The moment she saw Jiang Ziyan, a cold light flashed in Su Zhilan's eyes.

Today's incident might also involve Jiang Ziyan.

Su Zhilan bowed slightly, "Empress Chen."

Then he ordered the guards beside him in a cold voice, "What are you standing there for? Keep fighting."

Jiang Ziyan raised her hand to stop the man, "Princess Consort, calm down. Even if Shu Yun was really wrong, you shouldn't beat him to death. After thirty strokes, it's hard to say whether he will survive."

She didn't want to interfere in this matter. Jiang Shuyun failed to accomplish this task because she was incompetent.

But she didn't expect that Su Zhilan would be so cruel when she returned to the palace.

If Jiang Shuyun died like this, there would probably be another commotion in the Jiang family.

Besides, they were blood relatives after all, and she couldn't bear to let Jiang Shuyun die in vain.

Su Zhilan looked at Jiang Ziyan with a puzzled expression and sneered.

"Jiang Shuyun attempted to murder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. If he is not punished, where is His Royal Highness's dignity?"

"Or is it that the Concubine Chen only values ​​the lives of your Jiang family members. The life of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince doesn't count, right?"

"When my mother was alive, she was fair and impartial in rewarding and punishing the concubines. Some people only know how to learn to win favor, but their moral character is far from it."

She was also very angry, so she spoke without restraint.

Jiang Ziyan was so angry that her hands were shaking slightly, and she clenched them tightly.

"Princess, please be careful with your words. I am still in charge of the harem. I have the right to say whether this man should be beaten or not."

Su Zhilan said with a stern face: "Your Highness, you are overthinking. I am the ruler of the Eastern Palace."

"Today, His Royal Highness is fine, so it's fine to just beat him with thirty sticks. If anything happens to His Royal Highness, I will beat him to death."

After saying that, she turned to look at the guards who were carrying out the execution and said, "Beat him. It won't help no matter who comes."

Those guards were there to protect Song Hongshen and were loyal to him.

So after hearing what Su Zhilan said, they picked up the boards and continued beating without saying a word.

Jiang Ziyan took two steps forward and said to Su Zhilan through gritted teeth, "Hasn't the Crown Princess ever thought about what would happen if someone was beaten to death?"

Su Zhilan's expression remained unchanged. "If they were beaten to death, they would be rolled up in a mat and thrown into a mass grave."

"Your Highness, do you think that if I kill a daughter of your Jiang family, I will have to pay with my life?"

Jiang Ziyan's body shook violently, knowing that Jiang Shuyue was in great danger today.

Su Zhilan was right. With her status, what could the Jiang family do if she killed a daughter of the Jiang family?

"Please go back, Concubine Chen. I still have to take care of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Ever since Jiang Ziyan entered the palace and gained favor, no one dared to speak to her like this except Song Hongshen and the Song family.

Aunt Wan saw that Concubine Chen's face had darkened, and she said, "We all understand that the Crown Princess is angry. But you are a junior after all, and we are still in charge of the harem. It would be bad if the Crown Princess spoke in such a tone and was rumored to be disrespectful to the elders."

Su Zhilan felt that the harem really needed to be reorganized.

An aunt who was in charge dared to speak so arrogantly in front of her, the Crown Princess.

"Elder? Why do I feel like the Concubine Chen is acting like the Empress of the Central Palace?"

"My lady, if you want to act like an elder to me, you better climb up to that position first."

"Aunt Wan, you are a servant of the Concubine Chen, so I cannot do anything to you. But you cannot escape the blame for being disrespectful to me today."

"Just slap yourself ten times and the matter will be settled."

Aunt Wan was stunned. She hit herself in the mouth?

She looked at Jiang Ziyan embarrassedly, hoping she could say something for her.

Jiang Ziyan also knew that although Aunt Wan slapped her, it was her that was lost.

"What do you mean, Crown Princess? Aunt Wan is an old lady in the palace. If you do this, you will lose face for me."

Su Zhilan's face was as gloomy as water. "What do I mean? Doesn't the Empress Chen understand?"

"It seems that you, Guanju Palace, really don't take us seriously. The niece of Queen Chen plotted against His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, but Queen Chen didn't reprimand her niece, but reprimanded me instead."

"As the head aunt of Guanju Palace, she speaks to me as if she is teaching a younger generation."

"Your Highness the Crown Prince and I are so easy to bully?"
