Chapter 139: Confession
Concubine Jiang looked on in horror as the maids brought out another basket of jars filled with unknown contents, her scalp going numb.
If she eats any more, she will be stuffed to death!
At this time, Concubine Jiang's arrogance had long disappeared.
My stomach was aching slightly as it was about to burst, and I felt like vomiting in my throat.
She wanted to beg for mercy, but something kept pouring into her mouth and she couldn't even utter a complete sentence.
Help!
Someone come and save her!
She doesn't want to die!
Just then, she heard the princess' voice.
"What are you guys doing?!"
The medicine that had been pouring down my throat finally stopped.
The maid who had shackled Concubine Jiang's hands and feet also let go.
Concubine Jiang fell to the ground, vomiting in a very ungraceful manner, and vomiting all over the floor.
Her mind was in a daze, her lower abdomen ached slightly, and she was vomiting violently, wishing she could vomit out bile.
The feeling of food slowly bursting your stomach is truly horrible!
Xie Run had already confessed his guilt politely the moment the princess came in.
"Please punish me, Princess!"
"I've seen Concubine Jiang steal my food several times, and today she even ruined the Fifth Young Master's wet nurse's soup. I think she probably hasn't had a full meal."
"That's why I specially asked the kitchen to prepare a lot of nourishing soups and medicinal foods, just to make sure Concubine Jiang has enough to eat."
"I just hope she won't steal or rob vegetables again."
Xie Run glanced at Concubine Jiang again and said, "If Concubine Jiang likes it, I'll have someone send it to you later!"
Concubine Jiang scratched her throat and shouted, "Help, Princess, save me!"
"Doctor, go call the doctor! I'm about to die of stuffing!"
As she shouted, she covered her stomach and vomited, her face full of horror.
I didn't have time to argue with Xie Run.
The princess looked at Concubine Jiang who was asking for help without any manners, and she felt secretly happy but also a little ashamed.
This Xie family member usually looks gentle, but her methods of playing tricks on people are really... extraordinary.
This move does not cause blood or injury, but it can make people feel that life is worse than death.
Even if they wanted to punish Xie, they could only scold her for being insolent and say that she was overstepping her bounds and breaking the rules.
But Xie was King Jing's favorite concubine.
What's wrong with being unruly occasionally?
The princess glanced at Mother Li and said, "Go to the palace and send a letter to invite the imperial physician."
Originally, the gate of the palace was closed, and the princess did not want to cause trouble.
It can be seen that Concubine Jiang was like this, and she was also afraid that something really might happen.
The princess glanced at the other people in Songya Courtyard and asked, "Why don't you help your master go in and rest?"
I thought Concubine Jiang was too incompetent.
The number of maids in Songya Courtyard was no less than that brought by Concubine Xie, but none of them came forward to help.
It can be seen that she has been in the mansion for more than two months, and she can't even win the hearts of the maids and old women.
Just like that, you still want to win King Jing's heart?
Seeing Concubine Jiang being taken back, the princess said, "Thank you, Concubine Shu, you are committing a crime of insubordination. It is truly outrageous. Do you admit your guilt?"
Xie Run said obediently: "I know my crime."
As she spoke, she sobbed softly, "Please forgive me, Princess. Concubine Jiang is really too bullying."
"It would have been fine if she had just stolen my meal, but she even sent someone to destroy my wet nurse's soup."
"The wet nurse relies on that soup to stimulate her lactation so she can feed the Fifth Young Master."
"How could I bear to see the Fifth Young Master starve?"
"If she only bullied me, I could tolerate it, but she also wanted to harm the Fifth Young Master. I... can't tolerate it!"
"A mother is strong, and you're right." The princess's anger subsided slightly, "But what you did today was truly beyond the bounds."
Xie Run lowered her head and said aggrievedly, "I know I was wrong. I accept the punishment, and I only ask that the princess not let Concubine Jiang off so easily."
"She is currently bullying concubines and suppressing concubines in the mansion. She has no rules at all. I'm afraid that one day she won't even take you seriously."
Concubine Jiang's wet nurse wanted to argue, but her mouth was sealed by Zihu, so she could only whimper.
The princess nodded slightly, "What you said makes some sense."
"Since that's the case, I'll fine you three months of your monthly salary and ground you for half a month. This won't happen again."
"These girls from Chunshan Court are too unruly. They will all be fined one month's salary."
After a pause, the princess looked at the maids of Songya Courtyard who were hiding everywhere.
"Concubine Jiang is your master after all. How can you just stand by and watch her go through all this trouble?"
"Song Ya Yuan's entire staff failed to protect their master and will be fined three months' salary!"
"These maids failed to serve their master well, causing her to go hungry. They even snatched food from other courtyards for her. They will be fined an additional three months' salary!"
"If there's a next time, don't serve in Concubine Jiang's courtyard anymore."
Concubine Jiang was able to show off her power everywhere, but in the final analysis, it was because of the maids she brought with her that she was able to do evil.
The princess had long wanted to replace these people.
The maids in Songyayuan were not on the same page with Concubine Jiang.
Now that I have been implicated for no reason and fined three months' salary, I'm afraid I have to blame Concubine Jiang.
If Concubine Jiang was a capable person, she could have taken the opportunity to win people's hearts by throwing some silver among the people.
If not, Concubine Jiang's life will get worse day by day.
Xie Runxi smiled happily, looking at the princess with gratitude in his eyes, "Princess, you are fair and strict. I am deeply grateful!"
When the princess saw Xie Run's affectionate eyes, she felt her heart flutter.
Those watery eyes seemed to be filled with spring.
The smile on the corners of her lips is delicate and charming, like the flowers blooming on the branches in spring, bright and charming.
No wonder the prince likes it.
The princess sighed inwardly. Even when she saw it, she felt it was pleasing to the eyes and made her feel happy.
Just as I was about to smile, I felt that it was not majestic enough.
If others saw this, they would inevitably think that she was partial to Concubine Xie.
The princess then put on a stern face again and said in a feigned anger, "Why don't you go back and accept your punishment?!"
Xie Run smiled and said, "I will return to Chunshan Courtyard to be punished!"
Having said that, he took his people away.
She came with great momentum and left with great fanfare, leaving behind debris and the frightened Concubine Jiang.
Back at Chunshan Courtyard, Dan Tao hurriedly asked, "Master, what happened? Are you injured?"
She has always been steady. Xie Run left her in Chunshan Courtyard to look after Taotao this time, so she didn't know the details of what happened.
As soon as Xiao Shu returned to the room, she couldn't help laughing.
"Everything happened just as the master predicted. The people from Songya Court didn't dare to come forward. They just stared with wide eyes as Concubine Jiang was forced to drink the medicine."
"You didn't see Concubine Jiang lying on the ground vomiting, it was hilarious!"
"Anyone who sees her like this would never imagine how arrogant she was back then. She whipped our concubine as soon as she entered the palace... She really deserved it!"
When this matter was mentioned, the maids in Chunshanyuan were all holding their breath.
At first, King Jing punished Concubine Jiang, but her whip almost landed on his own concubine.
Although it didn't fall on the concubine in the end, Zihu was still drawn.
Although King Jing's punishment was extremely humiliating, Concubine Yu Jiang herself was not harmed at all.
You don't feel pain until you break a bone.
Perhaps that's why she came out again so quickly.
Dan Tao said, "Is he okay? If something really went wrong, it would be bad for the master."
Xie Run took the tea that the girl had just brewed and took a sip. "No problem."
"I've already checked with the court doctor, and he's not going to kill her. Just let her hold on for a few days, suffer a little, and she'll learn her lesson."
