Wang Dequan shook the whisk in his hand and said to Tangjiang Xianyang expressionlessly: "Concubine, please come!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the palace attendants immediately brought the torture stool, which was to execute Tang Jiangxian in front of everyone in the East Palace.
Tangjiangxian hoped that Ning Zhiyuan could save her, but Ning Zhiyuan never showed up from the beginning to the end!
No matter how courageous Tangjiang Xian was, he would not dare to openly disobey Emperor Cheng Ming's will, so he could only lie down on the torture bench.
The eunuch who executed the execution showed no mercy at all, and was very cruel. After five blows, Tang Jiangxian felt that she had lost half of her life.
When she was helped to stand up by her maid, she found that all the concubines in the East Palace were gathered around to watch the fun, and her face suddenly became extremely ugly.
Her maidservant said fiercely to the concubines: "What are you looking at? Get out of here!"
A well-dressed concubine half-covered her face with a fan and said, "We are watching here, what can you do to us?"
The other concubines all echoed:
"That is, others are afraid of you, but we are not afraid of you!"
"On the day you got married, your natal family rebelled and was imprisoned. On the second day after getting married, the emperor issued an edict and reprimanded you. Do you really think that you are the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Ten Thousand Households?"
"The most talented and beautiful woman in the capital is not just a bitch, but she is hooking up with His Highness before she gets married!"
"He's just a shameless bitch, why should he pretend to be noble?"
Tangjiangxian has been praised by others since he was a child. How has he ever been ridiculed to his face like this?
But she also knew clearly in her heart that once the Wanhu Houfu collapsed, her status would be greatly reduced, so she could only endure it now.
She secretly swore in her heart that she would not let go of any of the people who insulted her today!
She originally married into the East Palace as the crown prince's concubine and was currently the highest-ranking woman in the East Palace, but now she has become a joke.
Her maid quarreled with those concubines. She was no match for those concubines, and she was quickly defeated.
Tangjiangxian didn't say anything more and took her maid back to her room.
She was injured, and the maid wanted to go to the eunuch in charge of the East Palace to get some medicine, but she was rejected outright.
The reason why the eunuch in charge refused was also extremely strange: "If the concubine is beaten by the emperor's decree, the concubine should not apply medicine, so that she can have a longer memory."
Tangjiangxian: "..."
Regardless of whether she admits it or not, it has become a definite fact that she fell out of favor when she married Ning Zhiyuan.
Now let alone Ning Zhiyuan's concubines, even the eunuchs in charge can bully her.
How will she live in the future?
No matter how scheming she was and how ruthless her methods were, she was still a pampered and raised woman, so she couldn't help crying.
At this moment, Ning Zhiyuan walked in. When he saw her crying, he said with a look of disgust: "You are such a bumbling star!"
"I have gone through so much trouble to marry you home despite the pressure from my mother and queen, and all you do is bring trouble to me!"
Tangjiangxian's maid couldn't help but said: "My young lady has been staying in the palace today and has done nothing! How could it be wrong?"
Ning Zhiyuan sneered: "It's precisely because she didn't do anything that my father punished her!"
Tangjiang looked puzzled.
Ning Zhiyuan said angrily: "Tang Miaoxin went to the Criminal Department to visit the prison today."
"When she visited the prison, she not only managed to get the chancellor of the Ministry of Justice, who had finally been installed, but also made her father feel that she was filial and affectionate!"
Tangjiangxian finally understood why she was beaten today. In the end, it was all caused by Tang Miaoxin!
She clenched her hands into fists: "Tang Miaoxin, I will definitely cut you into pieces!"
Ning Zhiyuan sneered: "You can only indulge in lip service. In fact, you can't do anything well, let alone Tang Miaoxin's opponent!"
"Gu Zhen should have married Tang Miaoxin instead of you. Not only is she more beautiful than you, she is also smarter than you!"
Tangjiangxian: "!!!!!"
What he said was a bit heartbreaking.
Ning Zhiyuan said with a look of disgust: "Besides crying, what else can you do?"
"It's really unlucky for me to marry you back!"
After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to leave. Tang Jiangxian wiped the tears from his face and said, "Your Highness was tricked by the second prince this time. Isn't he very passive now?"
Ning Zhiyuan's face was gloomy: "You dare to laugh at Gu?"
"Don't dare!" Tang Jiangxian looked at him and said, "From the moment I married His Highness, Your Highness has been a blessing to me and a loss to me."
"No one hopes for your highness's well-being more than I do."
Ning Zhiyuan snorted coldly: "What you are saying now is of no use, you are like a waste now!"
"Not only can you not help me, you have also caused me trouble!"
Tang Jiangxian straightened his waist a little: "Although the Wanhu Houfu is gone, it seems like I have lost my backer."
"But the fact that I have been able to live so well in the capital over the years and become the most talented and beautiful woman recognized in the capital is all because of myself!"
Ning Zhiyuan's eyes narrowed slightly: "What do you want to say?"
Tang Jiangxian stood up and saluted Ning Zhiyuan: "Right now, my second brother has not been brought to justice, and the money in his hand is still there."
"I will find a way to find him and let him be used by His Highness!"
Ning Zhiyuan only married Tang Jiangxian because of Tang Yishen's ability to make money. He said in a deep voice: "Go on."
Tang Jiangxian continued: "He can raise more money for His Highness in the dark."
"This time the matter has caused such a big fuss, I am afraid that my father has already begun to abolish His Highness, so His Highness can only use unusual methods to ascend the throne."
Ning Zhiyuan looked at her with deeper eyes.
She continued: "And what this unusual method is, I don't think I need to explain in detail."
"If you have money, you can have food, weapons, and horses. You can buy anything your Highness wants."
"Of course, Your Highness still needs to win over the courtiers. Your position as Crown Princess is vacant and can be used to win over."
"I heard that Mrs. Jiang wanted to give Jiang Huatong, the concubine of the Jiang Mansion, to His Highness. His Highness thought she was ugly and never agreed."
Tangjiangxian raised his head when he said this: "For Your Highness now, women are only useful to Your Highness, there is no need to care about beauty or ugliness."
"When Your Highness becomes the most noble person in the world, what kind of beauty will you want?"
Ning Zhiyuan's eyes moved slightly, and he stretched out his hand to help Tangjiang Xian up: "Sure enough, you are the most considerate."
"Don't worry, I will definitely pamper you well in the future."
"Come here, get some medicine for Concubine Tang."
Tang Jiangxian knew that with his words, she would not be too sad in the coming days.
After Ning Zhiyuan left, the maid asked her with some confusion: "Miss, you have only been married for two days, why do you persuade the prince to marry Jiang Huatong?"
"Didn't you decide before that he would not be able to marry the concubine and that you would be the most noble woman in the East Palace?"
Now that Tangjiangxian is in such a situation, if he marries a concubine, he will definitely be bullied, so the maid does not understand why she would persuade Ning Zhiyuan to marry a concubine.
