MTL - I Made a Fortune By Raiding Houses In Ancient Times-Chapter 284 demote
Chapter 284 Demotion
“Your Majesty, as the saying goes, to untie a bell, you must tie the bell. Only the Second Prince and Concubine An can save themselves from this matter.”
Although Ling Chu didn’t want to save Concubine An and the second prince.
But the grievances on Xu's brother and sister were too strong, and now they have become serious ghosts. If they were not taken in, something big might happen, and it would not only be Concubine An and her son who would die.
Those palace maids and eunuchs may not escape death.
Although the two ghosts can be taken away by force, it will definitely take a lot of effort.
If she is not careful, she will hurt herself.
It took a lot of effort for her body to heal well, but she was stupid to risk her own life to save the second prince and Concubine An.
The Queen Mother frowned, how could she resolve her grievances since the palace maid was dead?
"Back to the Queen Mother, if you want to avoid harming the Second Prince and Concubine An, the safest way is to resolve the resentment of the two ghosts and let them stop taking the initiative."
The Queen Mother did not care about Concubine An's life or death, but the Second Prince had to save her.
“Those two people are dead, how can we resolve their grievances?”
Ling Chu raised his head and looked at the two ghosts on the tree.
Lvliu stayed close to the second prince, looking at him infatuatedly at one moment, and roaring angrily at the other.
Her eldest brother, the cook Xu, stood aside with an angry look on his face.
He originally wanted to kill the second prince, but Luliu wouldn't let him get close.
Xu Shi Luliu had always been the second prince, and was used to competing with other palace maids for favor. Now she is delirious. She probably thinks that Chef Xu is the palace maid who competes with her for favor, so she doesn't allow him to get close.
Xu Cook couldn't kill the second prince, so he couldn't help but become frantic.
Suddenly he turned around and rushed towards the maids in Jinghua Palace, intending to kill them all and avenge his second sister.
Although Imperial Concubine An and the Second Prince were not good people, those palace maids were innocent, and Ling Chu could not afford to watch them die in vain.
Had no choice but to take out the Bodhi whip and hit Chef Xu.
Xu Cookman was in pain. Although he stopped attacking, he did not give up. He stared at everyone with his red eyes.
Lingchu didn't want to anger him, so he whipped him once and then stopped.
“Chef Xu, are you wronged? You might as well say it. As long as you don’t harm innocent people, maybe I can help you seek justice.”
Chef Xu looked at her coldly and said nothing.
Han Yao felt a pain in her heart when she saw the second prince who was tied to the tree in a state of embarrassment and lost his former handsomeness.
Seeing the green willow fool lingering next to him again, he felt angry again.
“Miss Ling, since you have a magic weapon, why don’t you just kill this ghost!”
The Queen Mother looked at the whip in Ling Chu's hand with a heavy gaze. Han Yao's words probably hit her mind.
"The county master is speaking lightly. If I kill him and irritate Luliu, what if she kills the second prince and the noble concubine? Can the county master be able to bear this?"
Han Yao's face darkened. When she saw the emperor frowning, she could only hold back her anger and apologize, "Miss Ling, don't be upset. It's Wen An who didn't think well."
Lingchu glanced coldly and looked away.
“Chef Xu, if you don’t believe me, you should believe the emperor and the queen mother, right? You can tell me any grievances you have, and the emperor and the queen mother will definitely give you justice.”
Chef Xu glanced at the emperor and the queen mother, his lips moved, and he wanted to speak, but he swallowed the words when he reached his lips.
“Chef Xu, as long as you let Concubine An and the Second Prince go, no matter how many grievances you have, I promise to give you justice.”
Xu Cook is full of resentment. He and Luliu are both dead. So what if the emperor can give him justice!
Moreover, it is impossible for the emperor to kill Concubine An and the second prince for a cook like him.
Xu cook committed suicide by biting the poison because of the green willow. It can be seen that in his heart, his sister, whom he has depended on since childhood, is more important than his own life.
"Chef Xu, if your sister can't resolve her grievances and stays in the earth, she will eventually lose her soul and be unable to be reincarnated as a human being." Lingchu's words finally touched Chef Xu's heart.
“It was Hongtang who killed my sister, and I want her to pay with her blood.”
“Come here, take that cheap maid down.” But in the eyes of the Queen Mother, a palace maid is not much different from the cats and dogs.
The face of the palace maid in pink clothes changed before. When she saw the nun beside the Queen Mother walking towards her, she kowtowed in fear.
“This slave knows his crime and begs the Queen Mother to spare his life.”
The Queen Mother didn't blink an eyelid. She could save the second prince, let alone abandon one maid, she wouldn't care about ten of them.
Hongtang was even more frightened when she was dragged away by the nanny. She knew that if she was dragged away, she would definitely die.
“Second Prince, Second Prince, save this slave...”
The second prince took one look and looked away, unmoved at all.
Hongtang's eyes were full of despair, and she finally realized that the second prince's usual love for them was all fake. For his own sake, he could abandon them as palace maids at any time.
She is still young and she doesn’t want to end up like Luliu.
Hongtang struggled to break away from the pull of the nanny, and quickly rushed to the emperor and knelt down, "Your Majesty, spare your life, this slave did not intend to poison Luliu. It was the imperial concubine...it was the imperial concubine who forced the slave to do it. If the slave is disobedient, the imperial concubine will kill her." Let others kill the slave."
“You bitch, you competed with Luliu for favor, poisoned her to death, and you dared to frame her for me.”
Lingchu suddenly said, "Hongtang, for no reason, why did Concubine An instruct you to poison Luliu?"
Xu cook hated Hongtang, and even more hated Concubine An.
"Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of Kang'anbo Mansion was poisoned to death by Miss Xiao, who was ordered by Princess Pingyang. Mrs. Kang'anbo asked the imperial concubine to help her make the decision. The imperial concubine ordered the younger one to mix pufferfish into Sister Song's fish soup, and then framed it for Miss Ling."
Luliu found favor in front of the second prince, knowing that the second prince had been trying to win over King Jing and King Dingyuan, but had never succeeded.
The second prince has always been dissatisfied with them.
Luliu inquired about the seating arrangement of Princess Pingyang, and she happened to be sitting at the same table as Princess Dingyuan and the others.
Concubine An asked him to mix pufferfish skin into Mrs. Song's fish soup. In order to please Concubine An and the second prince, Chef Xu simply put pufferfish skin into Mrs. Song's fish soup on their table.
Xu Chef originally thought that he had poisoned Princess Pingyang and Princess Dingyuan. After achieving great achievements, Concubine An will definitely let the second prince accept Luliu as his concubine.
Xu Chef had a good plan, but he didn't expect that Ling Chu would be a factor, causing his plan to fail.
The emperor sullenly decreed that Concubine An be demoted to the title of Xian Fei, and Princess Pingyang was demoted to the title of County Lord.
The emperor's move was not only to resolve the grievances of the cook Xu and save the second prince.
This matter also involves Princess Jing and Princess Dingyuan, so it cannot be treated as if nothing happened.
As for Mrs. Kang Amber, the emperor did not punish her because she had just lost her beloved daughter.
Ling Chu raised his lips when he saw Concubine An was so angry.
Although he did not kill her, being demoted from a noble concubine to a virtuous concubine was more uncomfortable than killing her.

I have been suffering from a cough that has driven me crazy recently. I have taken a lot of cough medicine, and the more I take, the more I cough.
What’s even more depressing is that even though I can’t eat well and sleep well, I actually gain weight instead of losing weight. I suspect that the medicine I took was not a cough medicine but a weight gain medicine.
