At this moment, a palace maid came to report that the Queen had arrived at Longevity Immortal Palace and was looking for Su Daji.
Nine-Tailed Fox was stunned and said to Liu Pipa,""That queen called Jiang Zitong? What is she doing here? I'm not interested in meeting her.”
Liu Pipa said," No, Jiang Zitong is the descendant of a general. Her father is Jiang Huanchu, Marquis of Dong Bo, one of the three important marquises of the Shang Dynasty. King Zhou and Jiang Zitong were married, and they had a good relationship. In addition, the Queen was gentle, virtuous, educated, and reasonable. She was highly respected in the harem. Now was not the time for her sister to be her enemy.”
Nine-Tailed Fox replied indignantly,""To think that I've been in Qing Qiu for a thousand years and cultivated the Nine Tails Divine Power. My powers are boundless and I've protected the entire Spirit Fox Clan. How glorious was that? She had finally escaped into the palace and bewitched King Zhou. She was below one person and above ten thousand people. Could it be that she still had to suffer the anger of the Queen and kneel down to her?”
Liu Pipa smiled and replied,"There's no need for sister to come out personally. There's still Su Daji."”
Nine-Tailed Fox nodded and said,"Let that b * tch meet Jiang Zitong. If she doesn't come with good intentions, we'll make a fuss."?”
On the other hand, Queen Jiang Zitong and her personal maid, Yun Bi, came to Shou Immortal Palace together. Su Daji did not come out to welcome them. The palace maids and guards did not dare to be negligent when they saw the Queen's arrival, but they were afraid that Nine-Tailed Fox would abuse her power. They were in a dilemma. Both sides were in a stalemate at the entrance of Shou Immortal Palace. Yun Kuang was furious. He pointed at the guard and scolded,""How dare you, servants! How dare you stop Her Majesty the Queen in person? Do you want to die?”
The head guard knelt down and said," Please forgive us, Your Majesty. In Longevity Immortal Palace, we can only obey Concubine Su's orders. Concubine Su is not in the palace now. I have already sent someone to report. Please wait a moment, Your Majesty."”
"Where did Concubine Su go?" Yun Kuang asked.”
The guard said,"Concubine Su has gone to Zhai Xing Lou."”
Yun She asked the Queen what to do, and Queen Jiang said,""Zhai Xing Lou spent countless taels of silver, wasting money and manpower. BenGong can't bear to see it, it's better to wait here for Su Fei.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Su Daji, Teng Wei, and the other palace maids rushed over. When they saw the Queen, Su Daji quickly knelt down and said that she was late and asked for forgiveness. To Jiang Zitong's surprise, the Imperial Concubine had always been domineering. Even the Emperor had to give in to her. Even if they occasionally met, her eyes would look up at the sky and she did not put the Queen in her eyes at all. What was going on today? Did the sun rise from the west?
While Queen Jiang was pondering over this, Yun Kuang was unforgiving and said,""Concubine Su, you're so arrogant. The queen came to Shou Immortal Palace, but the guards actually refused to let her enter the palace, saying that it was you who set the rules.”
Su Daji could not answer.
Yun Nai continued," The Queen is the master of the harem. She is the mother of the world. The imperial concubines and beauties in the palace are not submissive when they see her. They are very respectful. Only your Longevity Immortal Palace is the only one in the world who has no respect for anyone."”
Yun Cui was sharp-tongued and did not put Su Daji in her eyes at all. However, Teng Wei couldn't bear it, thinking that his young lady was in so much pain from being bullied by that vixen in Longevity Immortal Palace. Now, you're here to point fingers and sneer. Are you even more powerful than that demon? Thus, she retorted sarcastically," This elder sister has misunderstood. My Empress is resting. When she heard that the Queen had arrived, she rushed over and apologized. However, elder sister is still chasing after her. This servant really doesn't know who is the master and who is the servant.”
Yun Kuang's face flushed red and she was about to fly into a rage when Queen Jiang stopped her, saying,""Concubine Su is enjoying herself in Zhai Xing Lou, so it's understandable that her body is tired. It was just that the harem had its own rules. Don't think that you can be indulgent just because you are favored by the emperor. It was not unprecedented for a noble consort to be demoted to a palace maid when she made a mistake, and it was even worse for her to be banished to the cold palace.”
Queen Jiang did not show her emotions and her tone was calm. However, her words were sharp and aggressive. She was prepared to show Su Daji her power. If Nine-Tailed Fox was here, she would have turned hostile long ago. It could be seen that the jade pipa spirit Liu Pipa had foresight. After all, Queen Jiang held great power. If she really made a fuss, Nine-Tailed Fox might not be able to gain the upper hand.
Su Daji became her amulet, which she used to protect her from the wind and rain at the critical moment.
Facing the Queen's accusation, Su Daji did not know how to explain. Only she knew the pain in her heart. Queen Jiang lived in the harem and was used to being pampered. She rarely asked about Chaoge, let alone knew about the nine-tailed fox. In addition, King Zhou forbade the concubines in the harem to interfere in government affairs. Jiang Zitong had a strict upbringing since she was young. Since she married King Zhou, she had kept the three obedience and four virtues in mind. If it were not for Prime Minister Bigan's desperate request, she would not have come to Shou Immortal Palace to blame Daji and bring trouble to herself.
So he tried his best to appease the matter and invited Queen Jiang into the palace.
Queen Jiang, who had walked into the Longevity Immortal Palace, was also stunned by the extravagance of the place. A huge horizontal board hung on top of the red vermilion door, and on it were three large words,"Longevity Immortal Palace". The floor paved with top-quality white jade shone with a warm light. On the golden stone walls, there were all kinds of colorful dragon and phoenix patterns. The room was covered with crystal curtains and gauze curtains. Smoke rose from the incense burner and filled the entire palace.
Queen Jiang looked at everything in front of her coldly, unable to calm down. She looked back at Su Daji and said,""Such a magnificent palace, can't you fit a concubine that the Emperor likes? You live a luxurious life, spending money like dirt, and you're still not satisfied? Why did you have to bewitch the Emperor to build Zhai Xing Lou? You're extravagant and insatiable. No matter how much gold and silver the national treasury has, it won't be able to withstand such a waste. You're simply insatiable and unreasonable.”
Su Daji listened silently.
Queen Jiang took her silence as a speechless retort. Her face turned angry as she pointed at her and continued to reprimand,""If it was just a banquet and a show, it would be fine. However, you bewitched the emperor to set up torture and harm loyal officials. The old officials in the Golden Palace were so miserable that it made one's hair stand on end. Su Daji, what are you trying to do?”
Queen Jiang roared angrily, scaring all the palace maids into kneeling down. Su Daji's heart felt like it was about to burst. She lowered her head and replied,""This servant deserves to die. This crime cannot be forgiven. Please punish me as you please, Your Majesty.”
Jiang Zitong sighed and said," I can't punish you. Although you have bewitched the Emperor and lured him into doing evil, you wouldn't have dared to be so unscrupulous if it wasn't for the Emperor's favor and protection. You wouldn't have dared to do evil and incur the wrath of the people and gods." Su Daji, if you continue to be spoiled by your parents and don't repent, you will die without a burial place.”
Su Daji knelt on the ground and pleaded again,"This servant has committed countless crimes and only wishes for a quick death as an apology to the world.”
Queen Jiang shook her head and said," Su Daji, your life is in the Emperor's hands. Your life and death are in his hands. The Queen has no right to interfere." BenGong doesn't understand, seeing that you're also a descendant of a family of generals, the Marquis of Jizhou, Su Hu is awe-inspiring and heroic, how did he give birth to such a vicious daughter like you? It was inconceivable and unreasonable that such a sinister and ferocious wolf heart was hidden under her beautiful appearance.”
