The concubine was charming and alluring, and the ruthless prince coaxed her day and night.

Chapter 64 The Marquis of Yongkang's Mansion is Gone

Millennium House.

Zheng Antong, who had just been smashing things, hadn't even sat down when the servants who came to chase him away arrived.

"You're saying that the prince demoted me to a concubine and made me move to the Stone Warm Pavilion?"

Zheng Antong seemed to be listening to some fantastical tale.

She laughed and cried at the same time: "I don't believe it! I don't believe it! I'm going to ask the Prince! I am the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongkang! The Prince can't treat me like this!"

The servants who came to "help" Zheng Antong move exchanged glances before stepping forward and roughly forcing Zheng Antong and the servants from Millennium Courtyard towards the Stone Warm Pavilion...

It wasn't until she was ruthlessly thrown into the courtyard of Shi Nuan Ge and saw the courtyard gate being heavily closed that Zheng Antong realized that she had truly been completely rejected by Prince Chen.

She frantically pounded on the door of Shi Nuan Pavilion, screaming, "Let me out! Let me out! I am the legitimate daughter of the Marquis of Yongkang! You can't treat me like this! I want to see the Prince!"

He kept shouting and shouting until his voice was hoarse and his hands were bleeding from pounding his fists, but no one paid any attention to Zheng Antong.

The eunuchs and old women in the Millennium Courtyard were all removed by the mansion, leaving only two maids who had come with the Yongkang Marquis's mansion as part of their dowry in the Stone Warm Pavilion.

Zheng Antong now appears to be insane, and the two maids stand trembling beside her, neither daring to approach.

After shouting for an unknown amount of time, Zheng Antong finally ran out of strength.

She collapsed to the ground, crying helplessly and desperately.

Upon seeing this, the two maids immediately stepped forward to help him up.

Once inside, seeing the dilapidated state of the various objects, Zheng Antong flew into another rage.

Why is it called Shi Nuan Ge (Stone Warm Pavilion)?

How could it be Shi Nuan Ge?

The prince is going to tear her heart out!

After crying for a long time, and as darkness fell, Zheng Antong finally calmed down.

The prince is currently furious. Once he calms down, she needs to find a way to leave Shi Nuan Pavilion.

But how do I leave?

Yes, Father and Mother!

As long as her parents plead with the prince, out of respect for her parents, the prince will definitely take her back to Millennium Courtyard!

Thinking this through, Zheng Antong immediately ordered her maid to grind ink, and she quickly wrote a letter, asking the maid to find a way to send it out of the mansion.

Wait and wait.

As darkness fell, the maid finally returned.

The maid was heartbroken and cried uncontrollably, and the letter was on her person, so she couldn't send it out.

Zheng Antong, already in a bad mood, angrily slapped the maid: "What are you crying for! It's so annoying! Are you mute? Can't you tell me what happened? All you do is cry?!"

The maid staggered from the blow, tears still clinging to her eyes, but her gaze had already dimmed.

She wiped away her tears with her sleeve, and said calmly and indifferently, "The Yongkang Marquis's mansion is gone..."

Zheng Antong was stunned for a moment before she realized which words the maid had said.

After realizing what had happened, she descended into even greater madness.

Under the maid's terrified gaze, Zheng Antong stepped forward, gripping her shoulders tightly, her eyes bloodshot: "You're talking nonsense! You're talking nonsense, aren't you? How could the Yongkang Marquis's mansion be gone?"

"Slap!" She raised her hand and slapped the maid across the face, her voice sharp and piercing: "Yes! You're the one lying! I'll tear your mouth apart!"

The maid winced in pain and shoved Zheng Antong away forcefully: "If you don't believe me, mistress, you can go out and ask yourself. This matter has spread throughout the manor!"

Without the protection of the Marquis of Yongkang's mansion and without the favor of Prince Chen, Zheng Antong, who had become a concubine, was nothing, not even as good as a maid.

Under Zheng Antong's astonished and shocked gaze, the maid rolled her eyes in disgust and threw the letter in Zheng Antong's face: "Oh, right, I forgot to tell you, the one who brought down the Marquis's mansion was none other than our Prince Chen. If you know what's good for you, I advise you not to go to the Prince's place and make yourself disliked!"

Previously, out of fear of the Yongkang Marquis's mansion, these servants had been quite tolerant of Zheng Antong.

Now that Zheng Antong has nothing left, they naturally have no scruples.

They will repay all the grievances they have suffered!

……

Lianye returned to Yuhua Courtyard after retrieving the weaving thread, only to find that her master had not yet returned.

Feeling uneasy, she put down the knitting thread and went out to look for it.

She walked back and forth along the bluestone path twice, but still couldn't find any trace of her master.

Lianye was at a loss and was about to seek help from the princess when she saw her master limping out from behind the hidden rockery.

Seeing her master covered in wounds and with blood at the corner of his mouth, Lianye was shocked: "Master, what happened to you?"

Thinking of that figure, Xu Jiaojiao's eyes darkened: "I've been ambushed."

Lianye felt heartbroken and tears streamed down her face: "Did you see who it was, Master? I will go to the Princess and the Prince right away and ask them to seek justice for you."

princess…

Xu Jiaojiao's eyes grew increasingly gloomy.

The one who hurt her was none other than Wang Mama, the maidservant of the princess.

Yes, there's probably no one else but the Princess who would dare to commit such a heinous act in the Prince's residence.

Unexpectedly, this princess, who appears dignified and elegant, is actually such a fierce and ruthless person in private.

Xu Jiaojiao raised her hand to wipe the blood from the corner of her mouth: "No need to tell the Prince and Princess, just say I fell by accident."

Lianye stamped her feet anxiously, "How can this be! You've suffered such a great injustice, how can you keep it all to yourself!"

Xu Jiaojiao patted Lianye's hand reassuringly as she supported her: "Revenge is something that must be done slowly and deliberately, aiming for a fatal blow. Otherwise, we risk alerting the enemy and ruining everything."

The lotus leaf stared blankly.

She understood every word her master said, but when put together, she was completely confused.

But it's alright, my mistress must have her reasons for doing this.

Lianye still felt wronged for her mistress. She pouted and mumbled, "This servant knows that mistress has her own plans, but this servant is just heartbroken."

As she spoke, Lianye helped Xu Jiaojiao through the artificial rockery in front of her: "Master, be careful."

She sighed, "Alright, alright, I'll run to the palace physician in a bit to get some medicine for your injuries. From now on, whenever you leave the courtyard, I'll stay by your side every step of the way!"

Xu Jiaojiao chuckled and said, "Thank you for your kind lotus leaf."

When they returned to Yuhua Courtyard, Prince Chen was already teasing Xiongya in the courtyard.

Zhao Yunzheng brought down the Yongkang Marquis's mansion in the previous dynasty. On the one hand, it was because the Yongkang Marquis and his wife had formed cliques, exploited the people, and lent money at exorbitant interest rates, which he had long intended to eliminate. On the other hand, it was also because the Yongkang Marquis's wife and Zheng Antong had such a long reach that they dared to target his people.

This can be considered revenge for Xu Jiaojiao's first birthday celebration and the witchcraft incident. Zhao Yunzheng was in a good mood and planned to share this with Xu Jiaojiao to make her happy.

But to everyone's surprise, Xu Jiaojiao returned covered in injuries.

Zhao Yunzheng immediately put down his fierce teeth, strode over to Xu Jiaojiao, and reached out to support her: "What happened?"

Xu Jiaojiao forced a smile: "It's nothing, I just slipped and fell. I'll be fine after a few days of rest."

Having fought on the battlefield for many years, Zhao Yunzheng could tell at a glance that Xu Jiaojiao's injuries were not from a fall.

Seeing that Xu Jiaojiao refused to speak, he didn't press further. Instead, he glanced sideways at Yingyi, who immediately understood, nodded slightly, and strode away from Yuhua Courtyard…
