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 Chef 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 might not be able to escape death either.
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 now that 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 those two ghosts and let them take the initiative to stop."
The Queen Mother didn't 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.
Luliu clung to the second prince's side, looking at him infatuatedly at one moment, and roaring angrily at the other.
Her eldest brother, Chef 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 cared about the second prince before she was alive, and was used to competing with other palace maids for favor. Now that she was delirious, she probably mistook Chef Xu for the palace ladies competing with her for favor, so she didn't allow him to get close.
Chef Xu 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 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.
He had no choice but to take out the bodhi whip and hit Chef Xu.
Chef Xu was in pain. Although he stopped attacking, he did not give up. He stared at everyone with his red eyes.
Ling Chu didn't want to anger him, so he whipped him and stopped.
"Chef Xu, are you wronged? You might as well say it. As long as you don't hurt innocent people, maybe I can help you get 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 hanging around 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 look, and 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, and when she saw the emperor frowning, she could only hold back her anger and apologize, "Don't be upset, Miss Ling. It's Wen An who didn't think well."
Ling Chu glanced coldly and withdrew his gaze.
"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, moved his lips, and wanted to speak, but he swallowed the words as they 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."
Chef Xu was full of resentment. He and Luliu were both dead, so what if the emperor could give him justice!
Moreover, it is impossible for the emperor to kill Concubine An and the second prince for a cook like him.
Chef Xu committed suicide by biting the poison because of Lu Liu. It can be seen that in his heart, his sister, who has been dependent on each other since childhood, is more important than his own life.
"Chef Xu, if your sister cannot resolve her grievances and continues to linger in the earthly world, she will eventually lose her soul and be unable to be reincarnated as a human being."
Ling Chu's words finally touched Chef Xu's heart.
"It was Hongtang who killed my sister. I want her to pay with her blood."
"Come here, take that bitch away." 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 changed before, and when she saw the nun beside the Queen Mother walking towards her, she kowtowed in fear.
"This slave knows that he is guilty 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 palace maid, she wouldn't care about ten of them.
Being dragged away by the nanny, Hongtang was even more frightened. 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 was still young, and she didn't want to end up like Luliu.
Hongtang struggled to break away from the pull of the mammy, 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 noble concubine... it was the noble concubine who forced the slave to do it. If the slave is disobedient, the noble concubine will do it." Let others kill the slave."
"You bitch, you competed with Lu Liu for favor, poisoned her to death, and you dared to frame me."
Ling Chu suddenly said, "Hongtang, for no reason, why did Concubine An instruct you to poison Luliu?"
Chef Xu hated Hongtang and even more hated Concubine An.
"Your Majesty, the eldest daughter of the Kang'an Marquis's mansion was poisoned to death by Miss Xiao at the instigation of Princess Pingyang. Lady Kang'an Marquis asked the Imperial Concubine to help her. The Imperial Concubine instructed me to mix puffer fish into Song Sao's fish soup and then frame Miss Ling."
Lvliu was favored by the Second Prince and knew that the Second Prince had always wanted to win over Prince Jing and Prince Dingyuan, but had never succeeded.
The Second Prince had always been dissatisfied with them.
Lvliu found out about the seating arrangement of Princess Pingyang and happened to be at the same table with Princess Dingyuan and the others.
Noble Concubine An asked him to mix puffer fish skin into Song Sao's fish soup. In order to please Noble Concubine An and the Second Prince, the kitchen servant Xu simply put puffer fish skin in the Song Sao's fish soup on their table.
The kitchen servant Xu originally thought that Princess Pingyang and Princess Dingyuan were all poisoned. After making great contributions, Noble Concubine An would definitely let the Second Prince take Lvliu as a concubine.
Xu Chuyi had a good plan, but he didn't expect to encounter Ling Chu, a variable, which made his plan fail.
The emperor issued an order with a gloomy face, demoting Concubine An to Concubine Xian and Princess Pingyang to Princess Xian.
The emperor's move was not only to resolve Xu Chuyi's resentment and save the second prince.
This matter also involved Princess Jing and Princess Dingyuan, and it cannot be treated as if nothing happened.
As for Lady Kang'an, the emperor did not punish her because she had just lost her beloved daughter.
Ling Chu saw Concubine An was furious, and her lips curled up.
Although she was not killed, it was more painful to be demoted from Concubine to Concubine Xian than to kill her.

I've been tortured by coughing recently and I've taken a lot of cough medicine, but the more I take, the more I cough.
What's more depressing is that I can't eat or sleep well, but my weight has increased instead of decreased. I suspect that I'm not taking cough medicine, but weight gain medicine
