Chapter 241: The Matter of Tearing Apart

“You’re just stupid beyond salvation. Do you think the Prince of Yu would risk his own wife’s and daughter’s lives to frame the Prince of Huai? Do you know how much he cares about his wife? For his wife, he publicly beat up Wenren Zong in the middle of the street. Don’t you know that?”
Concubine Xian was taken aback.
Thinking about it, that was indeed true.
The Prince of Yu personally sent his precious boy and girl twins to the Jiang Family and visited there frequently. Who couldn’t see his intentions?
As for the divorce, it was Lin Zizi who led her daughter and personally asked the Emperor.
The Emperor allowed it, but it wasn’t the Prince of Yu’s own intention.
That is to say, the Princess Consort of Yu didn’t want to be with the Prince of Yu anymore, but the Prince of Yu still couldn’t forget her deep love. Even after the divorce, he often lingered outside the Jiang residence.
Wenren Zong tried to flirt with the Princess Consort of Yu, and ended up being brutally beaten and seriously injured by the Prince of Yu on the spot.
That’s why the Prince of Yu was punished, locked up and forced to copy scriptures.
These were all well-known facts.
Can anyone say that a Prince of Yu, who values the Princess Consort of Yu so much, would send someone to assassinate the pregnant Princess Consort of Yu to frame someone?
Of course not.
“So, have you figured it out?” Concubine Jin said, “Concubine Xian, this is simply the poison of the King of Chen. If successful, he can not only get rid of the Princess Consort of Yu and her unborn child, but also frame the Prince of Huai. By removing two opponents at once, wouldn’t the Crown Prince’s position be his? Even if he can’t assassinate the Princess Consort of Yu successfully, he can still provoke animosity between the Prince of Yu and the Prince of Huai.”
Concubine Xian’s face changed, and she looked at Concubine Lan.
Concubine Lan hurriedly said, “Concubine Jin, don’t slander people! The King of Chen and the Prince of Huai have always had a close relationship and deep feelings. He wouldn’t harm the Prince of Huai.”
Concubine Jin laughed, “Whether it’s true or not, Concubine Xian, judge for yourself. If you’re not completely stupid, you should know who’s telling the truth. Now that the Prince of Yu is in trouble too, don’t you see who the last winner could be?”
Concubine Xian’s face turned dark and she fiercely slapped Concubine Lan.
“You vile servant!”
Concubine Lan stumbled back to Concubine Jin.
Concubine Jin raised her foot—
Concubine Lan fell heavily into the snow without a doubt.
She was furious and jumped up, shouting, “How dare you hit me?”
“I’m one of the Four Consorts, and you’re just a concubine. Why can’t I hit you?” Concubine Xian pointed at her, “When you usually followed me, you were so sweet and affectionate. I treated you sincerely, but you and your son harbored evil intentions, calculating like this! Come on, beat her!”
A group of eunuchs and palace maids surrounded her, ready to beat Concubine Lan.
Concubine Lan wouldn’t just let them capture her. She struggled and shouted, “Who dares to touch me! Concubine Xian, don’t forget that your son is still in jail. If you dare to beat me, I’ll report it to the Emperor. Think about the consequences!”
Concubine Xian rushed over and slapped her again, “I’ll hit you anyway!”
Concubine Lan cursed at the servants, “You’re all dead, aren’t you? Hurry up and report to the Emperor!”
It was chaos.
Meanwhile, the instigator who started all this was walking away leisurely, holding a plum blossom.
News of Concubine Xian and Concubine Lan’s quarrel soon reached the Emperor’s ears.
The two of them, with disheveled hair, knelt before the Emperor.
Concubine Xian tearfully accused her son of being framed and pleaded for the Emperor’s justice.
Concubine Lan, with a swollen face, cried bitter tears, claiming her innocence.
The Emperor was annoyed to look at them.
After sending them away, he hesitated for a while before going to the Splendid Palace.
Ever since their last quarrel because of Lin Zizi, this was the first time he had been back..
