Chapter 1462 Consort Qi Beats Prince Jin
Chapter 1462 Consort Qi Beats Prince Jin
Even if Consort Qi cannot immediately turn the tide, with her intelligence and what she has at her disposal, she will surely be able to maneuver in secret.
Contact former subordinates to seek a turning point.
Even if... even if things ultimately fail, with the power held by Consort Qi, it would be enough to help him fight to the death at the crucial moment and make his elder brother pay a heavy price!
As this thought crossed his mind, a hint of ruthlessness rekindled in the eyes of the Prince of Jin.
He stared at Consort Qi's pale, bloodless face, trying to read the unspoken understanding in her eyes.
He believed she understood!
They are in the same boat; their fates are intertwined.
Moreover, Consort Qi loves him so much that she would never sit idly by and watch him fall completely.
At this moment, Consort Qi, supported by her maid, walked step by step toward Prince Jin.
She walked slowly, her steps unsteady, her pale face expressionless, except for her eyes, which shone with an astonishing brightness.
Li Changde merely watched this scene indifferently, without uttering a word to stop it, so the imperial guards did not obstruct Consort Qi.
The Prince of Jin was overjoyed.
She must have some plan or a message to send.
However... when Consort Qi stood before Prince Jin, she did not whisper anything to him or hand him anything as he had expected.
She lowered her head slightly, looking at the man she had once served with utmost care, who had also brought her countless times pain and fear.
Under the expectant gaze of Prince Jin, Consort Qi slowly raised her hand, which had once played the zither and ground ink for him, and had trembled as she wiped away the bloodstains after being beaten by him countless times.
Then...she used all the strength in her body, filled with long-suppressed hatred and humiliation, and slapped him hard!
"Snapped--!!!"
A crisp, loud slap landed on the face of the Prince of Jin.
Everyone was stunned.
The Prince of Jin was slapped so hard his face was turned to one side, his ears were ringing, half of his cheek was burning with pain, and his mind was blank.
Consort Qi's palms were also numb from the shock and trembled slightly.
But an unprecedented feeling of exhilaration instantly welled up in her heart.
So this is what it feels like to hit someone.
It turns out that you don't have to be submissive, you don't have to force a smile, and you don't have to numb yourself with pain by saying that it's the feeling of being pampered. It's so exhilarating!
She had been beaten by this man for so many years, her body covered with old and new wounds, but this was the first time she had ever truly retaliated against him!
This feeling... is so much better than getting beaten up!
Prince Jin finally snapped out of his shock, raised his head and stared at Consort Qi in disbelief, his eyes filled with furious anger at being offended!
He had beaten so many women, many of them to death or maim, yet he was slapped in public by a concubine whom he could summon and dismiss at will?!
This is an absolute disgrace!
"You bitch!"
The Prince of Jin roared and struggled to rush forward, but was held down firmly by the Imperial Guards and could not move.
Before Prince Jin could react further, Consort Qi raised her hand again—
"Snapped!!!"
She slapped him even harder across the other side of his face!
The crisp sound echoed again, even louder than before!
The Prince of Jin was utterly enraged. Veins bulged on his forehead, his eyes were bloodshot, and he struggled desperately like a trapped beast, his gaze seeming to want to devour Consort Qi alive: "You wretch! What are you doing?!"
Consort Qi stood there, slightly out of breath, her pale cheeks flushed with an unnatural redness from the exertion she had just exerted.
Looking at the Prince of Jin's disheveled, furious, yet helpless state, she suddenly chuckled softly. The laughter grew louder and louder, filled with the satisfaction of revenge.
"what I do?"
Consort Qi stopped laughing and said sarcastically, "I'm seeing the once arrogant Prince Jin in such a sorry state as a drowning dog!"
Prince Jin is not a fool. If he still can't figure it out at this point, then he would be utterly stupid.
The mole wasn't one of the staff members or chief clerks he had suspected...
The woman who betrayed him was someone he never truly cared about, and even humiliated at will!
"It's you?!"
"It's you, you vicious woman! It really was you?!"
The Prince of Jin's eyes widened in fury, a feeling of betrayal filling him with rage at being fooled: "Why?!"
"I have treated you well, why have you betrayed me?!"
Consort Qi seemed to have heard the funniest joke in the world, pointing to her pale and haggard face: "Haven't you treated me well?"
"Is the prince's so-called kindness just that he beats and kicks me whenever he's in a bad mood? Is it that he uses whips and sticks to leave indelible scars on my body? Is it that he treats me like an object to be vented on at will?!"
Her voice was filled with years of pent-up blood and tears: "Yes! I was a bastard before!"
“I told myself that hitting someone is a sign of affection, and scolding someone is a sign of love. The fact that the prince is willing to hit me means that he thinks highly of me and that he dotes on me.”
"I have to numb myself like this, otherwise I would have gone crazy long ago!"
"I've endured all of this! I've endured it all! I'll follow my husband wherever he goes, whether he's a chicken or a dog, I accept it!"
"I'm even racking my brains for you, secretly plotting for you, hoping that one day you will achieve great things and I can benefit from it!"
At this point, Consort Qi finally couldn't hold back her tears, her eyes filled with endless hatred as she looked at Prince Jin: "But what about you?! Nangong Xuanche, how did you treat me?!"
"Because you were in a bad mood, you kicked me in the stomach... and kicked away my baby! That was my child! The child I had been waiting for so long!"
She trembled violently, as if she were back on that desperate night: "The physician said... said I can never have children again... You have deprived me of my right to be a mother! You have destroyed my last hope in this life!"
Consort Qi approached Prince Jin, who was pinned to the ground, step by step, and roared with all her might: "Because of that kick of yours! Because of your damned temper! You made me lose the right to be a mother forever! You made me lose even the last bit of hope in this world!"
"Nangong Xuanche, how can I not hate you?!"
"I wish I could eat your flesh and drink your blood!!!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Consort Qi straightened up, looked at the ashen-faced Prince Jin, and revealed a twisted and gleeful smile: "So, I'm going to betray you!"
“I have presented all your shady dealings, evidence of your factionalism, and the power you have secretly cultivated... I have presented everything to His Majesty without leaving out a single detail!”
"I want to see you fail at the last hurdle! I want to see all your plans come to naught! I want to see you fall from grace and become a prisoner whom everyone can bully!"
"I want you... to die a horrible death!!!"
The Prince of Jin struggled frantically, cursing Consort Qi with foul language: "Poisonous woman! Bitch!! You madman!!!"
