Chapter 880: Cowardly, a practical person is a hero
Compared with Xiao Tianyao, the Empress, and the others, Imperial Concubine Zhou really can’t be said to be smart, but she was smarter than most people. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be able to sit in the position of the favorite concubine for decades, overwhelming the Empress.
Of course, she knew that after Xiao Tianyao came out, the possibility of her being able to lead someone into Hanfang Courtyard was very slim, but as long as there was a chance, she didn’t want to let it go.
The more Xiao Tianyao refused to allow people to enter the Hanfang Courtyard, the more problems were there. There might be a secret hidden in it that could bring down Xiao Tianyao. If she didn’t give it a try, she would regret it to death.
However, she will not be able to please Xiao Tianyao, and maybe the Zhou Family behind her will also be unlucky.
Imperial Concubine Zhou took a deep breath and said softly: “Prince Regent, my people must have seen the assassin who stabbed me and ran into the Hanfang Palace. If the prince regent is worried that these people will damage the Palace clumsily, why not let me go check it out myself?”
“Who saw it?” Xiao Tianyao said impatiently.
This brainless woman, wouldn’t she think that he, like the emperor, would soften his heart if he begged for a few words?
Imperial Concubine Zhou didn’t think about who she was.
Imperial Concubine Zhou did not answer but glanced at the people beside her, and immediately a court lady stood up: “Answering back the prince regent, this servant has seen it.”
“Which eye you saw it?” Xiao Tianyao continued to ask, the maid froze for a moment, but did not dare to raise her head, and said in a muffled voice: “Both eyes saw it.”
“Gouged out her eyes.” Xiao Tian ordered dazzlingly without blinking.
“Yes.” The guard led the order and stepped forward.
*Plop…* The palace maid was taken aback, her legs softened, and she knelt: “Your Highness, Imperial Concubine…”
“Bold!” Imperial Concubine Zhou’s complexion changed, and she stood in front of the maid: “Prince Regent, this is the harem, who gave you the right to torture the people in the harem?”
Her person has killed her in front of her, then will she have the face to gain a foothold in the harem in the future?
“What does benwang want to do, he still needs someone to give him the right. Who is qualified to give benwang these rights?” Xiao Tianyao finally took a straight look at Imperial Concubine Zhou, but this look was full of disgust.
He can’t be blamed for this, he has always hated brainless women.
As soon as Xiao Tianyao’s words fell, the guards bypassed Imperial Concubine Zhou and dragged out the maid behind her. Someone stepped forward to stop her but was kicked away by the guards.
The Empress’s people wanted to help everyone because they were allies for the time being, but seeing that Prince Xiao’s people were so arrogant, they hesitated and did not make a move.
Their purpose was to rush into Hanfang Palace, so what was it to sacrifice one or two little maids?
“Help, help, imperial concubine, help…” The palace maidservant was dragged out by the guards like a dead dog, crying and shouting.
“You, you, you…” Imperial Concubine Zhou was angry. If not for the people behind her supporting her, she might have fainted from anger.
“Drag it on, don’t dirty the ground here.” Xiao Tianyao ordered without looking at Imperial Concubine Zhou.
The guards dragged the palace maid down, and her cries could be heard from a distance: “My lady help me, my lady, help me.”
The palace maidservant knew that it was useless to call Imperial Concubine Zhou, so she shouted heartbreaking: “My lord, spare my life, my lord, this servant will never dare again, my lord…”
Of course, Xiao Tianyao was unmoved.
He coldly glanced at Imperial Concubine Zhou and the people behind her: “Who else saw the assassin enter Hanfang Palace?”
This time, no one dared to make a sound. Wherever Xiao Tianyao looked, everyone bowed their heads, not daring to look at him.
Xiao Tianyao seemed to think it was not enough, and said after a while: “Imperial Concubine, look… no one saw the assassin enter the Hanfang Palace, why don’t you go to other places to find the assassin?”
“Prince Regent, don’t go too far!” Losing all face, Imperial Concubine Zhou trembled with anger. If she didn’t have a trace of reason, she would have ordered someone to break in.
“Benwang has never done anything excessive.” Even if he did, he still can live with it!
Imperial Concubine Zhou bit her lips hard, using the pain to calm herself down: “Prince Regent, this is the harem, and the people living in the Hanfang Palace were once the emperor’s concubines. You stay alone in the Hanfang Palace for 2 hours. You are inside doing what?”
Imperial Concubine Zhou’s words were short of directly saying that Xiao Tianyao had an affair with the Emperor’s concubine.
“What is benwang doing here? Do I need to tell you? Imperial Concubine, don’t forget that you are not the master of the harem.” Xiao Tianyao did not hide the contempt in his eyes.
He disliked women who have no brains, and even so, women who have no brains but like to entangle. Unfortunately, Imperial Concubine Zhou has both.
“The empress is not feeling well. I have the right to intervene in the matter of the harem. If you can’t say anything today, don’t blame me for inviting the third division to come here.” Imperial Concubine Zhou was going all out.
Women were easy to act emotionally, Imperial Concubine Zhou who was focused on being slapped in the face, at this time, doesn’t care about the consequences of offending Xiao Tianyao to death.
“Go, benwang will not stop you.” Xiao Tianyao snapped his fingers, and a moment later, a servant brought up a chair and put it behind him.
Xiao Tianyao lifted his robe, and sat down domineeringly: “Benwang will wait here, and the imperial concubine will not see you off!”
“You, you… are too arrogant!” Imperial Concubine Zhou gasped heavily in anger, flicked her sleeves, turned around, and left: “You wait for me!”
Imperial Concubine Zhou took two steps. Seeing that the servants did not keep up, she shouted: “What are you still doing, hurry up!”
Imperial Concubine Zhou came with a high profile but was left in embarrassment.
“Yes, yes!” The palace maids, eunuchs, and guards brought by Imperial Concubine Zhou hurriedly followed one by one, squeezing each other. It was so chaotic, that it was funny to see, but no one dared to laugh at the moment.
The Empress’s people didn’t follow them, they looked at each other, not knowing what to do. In the end, they gritted their teeth and said, “Let’s go!”
Prince Xiao was here, if they force their way in, they will be able to break in, but… …
What about the consequences?
The Empress didn’t go out, so nothing will happen, but will Prince Xiao let them go after the hands-on people?
No need to think about it, they know that Prince Xiao will never let them have a good time.
When the news was sent back to Luanfeng Palace, the Empress was so angry that she broke her nail: “You stupid woman, you missed such a good opportunity. Since you have said that you want to invite the third division, why not go?”
“If Prince Xiao can sit down, can’t you? If Prince Xiao can sit there and wait, can’t you just sit there and wait?”
“After this, can we still find the things in Hanfang Hall?”
“How can there be such a brainless woman in this world? She used to be considered smart, but now she is becoming more and more useless!”
Seeing the Empress trembling with rage, the Seventh Prince reminded in a low voice: “Imperial Mother, why don’t you let the elder brother try it?” Even if he wanted to go to this time, he couldn’t say it. He knew that the mother would never agree… …
