Quick Wear: The Enchanting Concubine, Rules of Survival and Plunder

Chapter 659: Concubine of Prince Zhuang’s Mansion 9

"What if Concubine Shu was just faking her pregnancy?" Jiang Chunxi said, "And her fake pregnancy was instigated by the prince, just to get rid of the people he disliked."

Jiang Chunxi then told him about the falling out with Prince Zhuang that day, and then continued with a sneer, "Anyway! I guess the prince is plotting against me, maybe he wants to kill two birds with one stone?"

As she spoke, Jiang Chunxi looked at the princess: "After all, the prince is disgusted with her. He probably wanted to get rid of her so that he could replace her with a princess from a high-class family. In addition, the princess was married to the prince by the emperor. If the princess harms his children and becomes a vicious woman, will the emperor not feel guilty towards Prince Zhuang?"

"No matter how little he values ​​her, she is still his son. The fact that the father was not able to judge her by marrying her to his son is enough to make the emperor feel guilty towards the prince. The emperor's guilt means that the prince has also caught the emperor's eye."

"In short! If Concubine Shu's pregnancy is really fake, then King Zhuang's plan is really big. Not only can he get rid of the annoying person, but he can also get many benefits and realize his ambitions. He might even be qualified to seize the throne."

Princess Zhuang was so frightened that she broke out in a cold sweat.

The same goes for Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang.

"Sister Jiang, are you thinking too much?" Although she said this, Concubine Jiang's expression clearly showed that she believed Jiang Chunxi's words. "Maybe Concubine Shu is really pregnant, and there is no such thing as a false pregnancy."

"No," Princess Zhuang said with a pale face, "Concubine Shu must have faked her pregnancy. Otherwise, how could it be so coincidental? Prince Zhuang had just broken up with Concubine Jiang, which meant he had given up on winning the support of the Jiang family. But within a few days, Concubine Shu got pregnant. This was clearly a plot to murder me and Concubine Jiang. He wanted to eliminate us and fulfill his ambitious plan."

"This...what should we do?" Concubine Yu said in panic. "If Concubine Shu is really faking her pregnancy, then Princess and Sister Jiang will be doomed. After all, if the prince really intends to use Concubine Shu to murder you two, then there is nothing you can do to avoid Concubine Shu."

"Sister Jiang, why don't you look anxious at all?" Concubine Jiang looked at Jiang Chunxi and asked, "Have you thought of a solution?"

Princess Zhuang looked at Jiang Chunxi with hope: "Sister Jiang, if you have any solution, please tell me now."

Princess Zhuang couldn't help crying as she said this: "I don't care. If the prince wants to take my life, then he can take it. Anyway, there is no hope for the rest of my life, and there is no point in living."

"But I'm afraid of bringing trouble to my family! If my family is implicated by me, then I will become the sinner of the family."

In the original owner's previous life, Princess Zhuang's family was naturally implicated by her. However, the emperor did not kill all of Princess Zhuang's family, but only dismissed her father from his official position.

However, Prince Zhuang was so cruel that he wanted to wipe out the entire clan, so naturally, Princess Zhuang's family ended up being wiped out.

"I do have a way to prevent that bastard Prince from plotting against us," Jiang Chunxi said, looking at Princess Zhuang with an embarrassed look on her face, "But my method will cause me some harm to my body. I don't know if you, Princess..."

"Don't even mention the suffering of my body. As long as I can avoid bringing trouble to my family, I can even give up my life, so what does it matter if I suffer a little?" Princess Zhuang said anxiously. "Sister Jiang, if you have any solution, please tell me now. Don't make me anxious to death."

"My method is..." Jiang Chunxi repeated her method.

Then two days later, Princess Zhuang and Jiang Chunxi developed high fever, and the doctor diagnosed them with smallpox.

In ancient times, smallpox was a terrifying disease. When Princess Zhuang and Concubine Jiang contracted smallpox, although Prince Zhuang wished they would die, he did not dare to hide their illness. He immediately reported their smallpox to his superiors and did not even dare to keep them in the palace.

As for his plan for the two of them, Prince Zhuang no longer had the heart to think about it. However, smallpox is a very dangerous disease, so Prince Zhuang did not think that the princess and Jiang Chunxi could survive.

Princess Zhuang and Jiang Chunxi were transferred to an imperial manor, and all the servants who served them were taken with them.

Of course, Concubine Yu and Concubine Jiang were no exception. Since they were in contact with the princess and Jiang Chunxi almost every day, they were very likely to be infected with smallpox.

So it was impossible for King Zhuang to keep them in the palace, and of course he sent them all away.

As the princess's family and the Jiang family had already been informed by Jiang Chunxi and the princess, the parents of both families were not worried.

Of course, you still have to pretend on the surface.

For example, Jiang's father sent people to the imperial farm every day to inquire about the situation. On the contrary, the husband, King Zhuang, did not care about his wives and concubines at all.

Since King Zhuang was unwilling to even pretend, Jiang's father would naturally not miss the opportunity to trick him.

Therefore, rumors about Prince Zhuang's coldness and cruelty spread in the capital, and within two days they reached the ears of the emperor.

This made the emperor, who already disliked Prince Zhuang, even more disliked his son. He even sent people to reprimand Prince Zhuang, telling him not to ruin the reputation of the royal family.

King Zhuang was so cold and cruel to his wives and concubines, which would naturally affect the reputation of the royal family and make the common people mistakenly believe that all the princes of the royal family were cold and cruel.

Prince Zhuang was reprimanded by people sent by the Emperor, which made him angry and aggrieved. After sending away the eunuch in charge of the Emperor, he started smashing things in the study.

But smashing things alone was not enough to vent his anger, and at this moment, Concubine Shu brought a bird's nest to the study.

Then she became unlucky and became King Zhuang's punching bag, and was beaten half to death by Zhuang.

Naturally, many servants in Prince Zhuang's mansion had sworn loyalty tokens under the command of Jiang Chunxi. Therefore, the news that Prince Zhuang was dissatisfied with the emperor's reprimand and beat his pregnant concubine half to death, causing her miscarriage, quickly spread from Prince Zhuang's mansion.

Now, Prince Zhuang could no longer completely wash off the reputation of being cold-hearted and cruel, and most importantly, he also expressed his dissatisfaction with the emperor's reprimand.

As the saying goes, "strike while the sick is at hand." Jiang's father immediately had others impeach Prince Zhuang in the court. The emperor was furious and directly deposed Prince Zhuang, making him a commoner and taking back everything in Prince Zhuang's mansion.

Jiang Chunxi and Princess Zhuang did not return to the capital until three months later. By then, Prince Zhuang and several concubines had already moved out of the Prince Zhuang's mansion and moved into a three-story house.

Although he had deposed his son, the emperor did not really kill him. He allowed Prince Zhuang to take away all the things in the warehouse of Prince Zhuang's mansion and also gave him this three-story house to live in.

As for the dowries of Jiang Chunxi and Princess Zhuang, the emperor allowed their families to take their dowries back to their parents' homes first.
