Chapter 258 The Palace Maid's Revenge and Sudden Wealth (2)
Big orange, second orange, third orange, fourth orange...
Cats that all looked exactly alike ran in, howling loudly and jumping around wildly.
Many palace maids and eunuchs were scratched and were so frightened that they hid in all directions.
Consort Qi was also terrified. Where did all these large oranges come from in the palace?
"Help! Help!"
Consort Qi shouted loudly, but the palace maids and eunuchs were too busy taking care of themselves to pay any attention to her.
"Get all these cats out of here!"
While Consort Qi was making a fuss, she was also scratched by the cat that jumped on her.
She covered her face and fell to the ground, watching helplessly as a huge orange cat jumped onto her.
With a "meow," the big orange cat left dozens of scratches on her face.
Su Dingding stood leisurely at the gate, cracking sunflower seeds, watching Gangzi lead his cat warriors to wreak havoc.
"Your Majesty, which one is your big orange cat? This servant can't recognize it!"
Su Xiang was scratched the worst. She knelt on the ground and kept kowtowing, "It was my fault, Da Ju, please forgive me, please, rest in peace..."
Her face was covered in blood, and her light pink dress was also stained with blood.
The big orange cat showed no sign of letting her go, continuing to leave marks on her body.
When the Emperor arrived with his men, the cat warriors scattered and disappeared after leaping over the high walls.
Only Gangzi remained, holding his ground.
It sat in the yard, transformed into a large orange cat, staring menacingly at the gate.
As soon as the Emperor entered, it meowed a warning.
"Your Majesty, be careful!" Su Dingding shoved the Emperor away. "Consort Qi's cat has gone mad! Don't let it accidentally hurt Your Majesty!"
Su Dingding looked like he was bravely going to his death, watching the emperor fall more than three meters away.
Before the emperor could react, Gangzi pounced on him, howling and scratching wildly.
The head eunuch hurriedly shouted, "Guards! Protect the Emperor! Protect the Emperor!"
The emperor's face was scratched, and his dragon robe was covered in scratches.
I was completely bewildered. What was going on?
At this moment, Consort Qi, her face covered in blood, crawled out of the bedchamber, crying, "Your Majesty, please save me..."
Upon seeing Consort Qi, the Emperor was startled.
This unrecognizable woman is Consort Qi!
Previously, when she took Consort Qi out of the palace, she picked up this injured orange cat, and the emperor thought she was simple-minded and kind.
I never expected that I would be the one to suffer today!
The Emperor was furious and shouted, "Demote Consort Qi to Concubine Qi and banish her to the Cold Palace!"
"Your Majesty!" Consort Qi exclaimed in shock.
"Catch that cat and bury it alive on the spot!"
Gangzi had long since disappeared, and no matter how hard they searched, they couldn't find him.
The chief eunuch helped the emperor up and then ordered someone to summon the imperial physician. Only then did the emperor look at Su Dingding.
"You have rendered meritorious service in saving the emperor today. What reward do you wish for?"
Su Dingding was stunned. I... saved the day?
However, it is indeed an opportunity to request permission.
“This servant wants to be the steward of the Cold Palace,” Su Dingding said.
The Emperor was somewhat surprised; this was no easy task. However, looking at the unrecognizable Consort Qi, he guessed what was going on.
What a deep bond between master and servant!
Fine, since you're willing to go, then I'll go with you.
"Approved."
As soon as the Emperor left, Su Dingding jumped for joy.
Don't underestimate the Cold Palace; for some time to come, it will be her little paradise.
Consort Qi was banished to the Cold Palace, with only Su Xiang accompanying her.
Su Dingding casually pushed open a dusty room and said, "You'll be living here from now on."
Su Xiang glanced at it with disdain, glared at Su Dingding, and said irritably, "It's so dirty, how can the Empress stay here? Hurry up and clean it up, then prepare hot water for the Empress to bathe and change..."
"Snapped!"
Su Dingding slapped Su Xiang's already scratched face, causing blood to spurt out.
"I am the steward of the Cold Palace, how dare you order me around?"
"How dare you!" Consort Qi was furious. "Chunying, even if I'm banished to the Cold Palace, I'm still a Consort. Besides, I still have the Fourth Prince and the Sixth Prince. How dare you speak to me like that?"
"This cold palace is under my jurisdiction, I can do whatever I want with it!" Su Dingding said arrogantly.
"Su Xiang, slap her!" Consort Qi was still putting on airs.
As a result, Su Xiang was slapped more than a dozen times by Su Dingding, one on each side.
Consort Qi was terrified and retreated step by step.
She was in pain all over her body and had never suffered such injustice before.
Su Dingding slowly approached her and said with a smile, "The Emperor has decreed that Consort Qi be punished with fifty strokes of the cane."
"When did His Majesty say he was going to punish me?" Consort Qi was bewildered; she had no idea.
“I guessed.” Su Dingding said, pushing her down onto the bench.
Consort Qi was dissatisfied and spoke rudely.
Su Dingding didn't tolerate it and directly picked up a wooden board and hit her mouth.
Before long, Consort Qi began to vomit blood and dared not speak at all.
Su Dingding personally gave her fifty lashes, and Consort Qi was nearly killed.
Su Xiang, who had fallen to the ground, trembled all over. When she looked at Su Dingding, her eyes were filled with fear.
Su Dingding grabbed Consort Qi by one foot and threw her into the dusty, empty room.
She looked at Su Xiang, who, despite the pain, climbed inside on her own.
Su Dingding thought she was too slow, so he kicked her in the butt.
They were locked up and left to fend for themselves.
In the original owner's memory, there were no good people around Consort Qi.
They all bullied others, relying on their masters' power.
Even if they all die, it wouldn't be a tragedy.
Gangzi went to prepare a room for Su Dingding to stay in, while Su Dingding wandered around in the Cold Palace.
Now that Consort Qi has been banished to the Cold Palace, the Sixth Prince will surely inform the Fourth Prince, who is far away at the border.
Her family's influence would also advise the emperor, but unfortunately, none of them would live to see Consort Qi leave this place alive.
Su Dingding was thinking of putting a swing in the courtyard when she heard footsteps outside the Cold Palace.
[Host, the Sixth Prince has arrived!]
Su Dingding looked at the crazy concubines in the Cold Palace and said, "Gangzi, go tell them that the Emperor has arrived."
Gangzi went off happily.
Su Dingding went to open the door himself, and sure enough, it was the Sixth Prince.
Upon seeing Su Dingding, the Sixth Prince let out a cold snort, "Where is my mother?"
"Sixth Prince, I am now the manager of this Cold Palace. You'd better be polite to me, or you won't be able to see your mother." Su Dingding reached out to stop him.
"Who do you think you are? You dog servant!" The Sixth Prince angrily tried to hit Su Dingding.
Although he was only fourteen years old, he was, after all, a prince and was used to being domineering.
Su Dingding grabbed his wrist, "Are you sure you want to go in?"
"Of course, I must see Mother today!" The Sixth Prince glared at Su Dingding.
"You'll have to bear the consequences." Su Dingding stepped aside with a grin.
The Sixth Prince had a bad feeling, but he still strode in.
This cold palace is gloomy and makes people uncomfortable.
"emperor!"
"Your Majesty, you've finally remembered your concubine..."
Several deranged concubines ran out of their rooms and headed straight for the Sixth Prince.
The Sixth Prince had never seen anything like this before, and he was so frightened that he turned around and tried to run away.
But then Su Dingding closed the door!
