The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny Chapter 701 – The Old Witch

Chapter 701: The Old Witch

Dong Xiyun’s words won the approval of a few kind-hearted ladies.

The gardeners definitely had to be punished.

It would be fine if they were punished lightly and learned their lesson. However, they did not approve of Young Lady Xie making the Crown Prince act in such a serious manner.

She was already so heartless even before she became the Princess Consort. If she really became the Princess Consort or even the Empress in the future, then the palace maids and eunuchs would probably have to be very careful even when they were breathing.

Fang Muxue and the others could not help but cast a disdainful glance at Dong Xiyun.

Thinking back to the past, they were very impressed by Dong Xiyun’s talent and character. However, after understanding her a little, they realized that this person was really vicious!

The reason why they said this was because… of the incident with Xia Yayun a few days ago.

Xia Yayun was locked up in prison. She was heard wailing all day long, saying that Dong Xiyun had harmed her.

The Peony Courtyard thought it was Xia Yayun who had slandered Dong Xiyun, but the people of Orchid Courtyard…

Back then, they had been close to Xia Yayun, so they naturally knew why Xia Yayun had repeatedly targeted Xie Qiao. They also knew that Xia Yayun had listened to every word Dong Xiyun said!

If Dong Xiyun had really not wronged her, Xia Yayun would definitely not have been so desperate and unwilling!

Therefore, now that they saw Dong Xiyun pretending to be kind, they only felt disgusted and sick!

Zhao Xuanjing sent someone to investigate Great Consort Mei. It did not take long for them to figure out Great Consort Mei’s situation.

“When the late emperor was alive, she was conferred the title of Great Consort Mei and gave birth to a princess. Unfortunately, she died of an illness. Before the late Emperor passed away, he had given her the youngest prince to take care of for a few months. Therefore, because of that, this person was not sent to a temple or sent home. Instead, she stayed in the palace to retire,” Zhao Xuanjing explained to Xie Qiao.

There was not much competition in the harem of the current dynasty.

The harem of the successive emperors was not abundant. Compared to the previous dynasty, it was considered a clean stream.

As a result, there were not many fights in the harem. Most of the concubines did not break any taboos and were able to stand out in the end.

In the harem, there were still a few great consorts that could be considered as great consorts. Empress Dowager Jiang’s health was lacking, and she respected these great consorts very much. The great consorts actually lived quite harmoniously.

In addition, Prince Rong, who had been raised by Great Consort Mei for a few months, took his birth mother, who was not of high status, to the fief. However, he treated this adoptive mother whom he was somewhat grateful of well. He would send gifts to her every year.

“Great Consort Mei is the best-looking of all the great consorts of the late Emperor,” Zhao Xuanjing added after thinking for a while.

Of course, he had never seen her before.

After all, she was the imperial grandfather’s concubine.

He was born not long after his father ascended the throne. As the Crown Prince, indeed, he would not see those concubines.

At this moment, the ghoul whispered in Xie Qiao’s ear, “She often criticizes Prince Rong in the palace! She says that Prince Rong is heartless and brought that lowly birth mother back to the fief, but left her in the palace. She dotes on him for nothing!

“She is especially concerned about her own dignity and often says that the late Emperor doesn’t like that ugly woman, the Empress Dowager…

“If you can hear me, quickly get the Crown Prince to lock her up! She’s an old witch!”

The ghoul was so anxious that it wished it could turn into Xie Qiao.

Xie Qiao thought it was noisy.

When a living person spoke, one would have to pay attention to etiquette.

A dead person was different. Usually, when a dead person discovered that she could see a ghoul, they would speak in a hurry. Almost every single one of them did not even breathe when they spoke. They would just blurt out words one after another. When she listened, she felt that she was going to lose her temper.
