"Who do you think stole it? This is a jade pendant given to me by the Emperor of your Great Zhou Dynasty. How could you not recognize it?"
A'man was not familiar with the Empress Dowager that Concubine Dong mentioned. She only knew that when the envoy of the Great Zhou presented this jade pendant, he specifically asked for it to be given to Princess Jiaoyang. She really looked down upon the phoenix on the jade pendant, but for the sake of the relationship between the two countries, she accepted it reluctantly.
The jade pendant that fell on the ground was recognized not only by Concubine Dong, but also by everyone in the palace. Before the Empress Dowager went to Hanshan, she had a period of time when she liked to carve phoenixes, and every phoenix she carved looked like a chicken with long hair.
She had given away several of her proudest works, and this jade pendant should be one of them.
This jade pendant with rough carving is comparable to an imperial sword in the eyes of everyone.
Ah Man only knew that the jade pendant was related to the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty, but he didn't expect that after he finished speaking, everyone fell silent. Even the person who wanted to catch him just now knelt in front of the jade pendant trembling with fear.
"Empress Dong, are you going to punish me again?"
Ah Man smiled as she spoke to Concubine Dong Guifei, her expression unable to conceal her pride. She even felt a little regretful. If she had known that the jade pendant was so useful, she should have taken it out in front of Murong Zheng...
Naturally, Concubine Dong wanted to punish A'man, but with the Empress Dowager's jade pendant in her hand, how could she dare to risk the wrath of the world and disobey the Empress Dowager? If she really made the Empress Dowager unhappy, even the Emperor would not let her off easily.
"Even if you don't punish me, I won't forgive this old slave beside you. Since she wants to kill the Third Prince, she must die. Beat her until she dies."
"You'd better understand clearly that you are in the Great Zhou. The emperor will not let you go if you treat me like this." When Concubine Dong heard the sound of sticks hitting Nanny Li, she felt her face burning, as if she had been slapped. She shouted in a timid manner, hoping that her threat would make Ah Man stop, or at least spare Nanny Li's life.
"Well, the emperor didn't let me go until this cunning slave died. Now I just want her to die. If the imperial concubine can't bear to watch, please return to the palace first. The scene here is really bloody."
After Ah Man finished speaking, she pretended to pinch her nose, turned around and left. Concubine Dong tried to catch up with her several times, but in the end, because of the deterrent power of the jade pendant, she ended up standing dejectedly beside Nanny Li.
"Your Majesty, save me, Your Majesty, save me." Nanny Li's voice became smaller and smaller, and the smell of blood in the air became heavier and heavier. In the end, the smell of blood was nauseating, and Nanny Li's cries became lower and lower, and finally fell silent.
Dead, Nanny Li was really dead, without any sign of life. She lay helplessly on the chair like a rag doll. The blood on her buttocks and waist had turned dark red and purple, piercing into Concubine Dong's heart like a knife.
Since she entered the palace twelve years ago, she has always been favored and never thought that one day someone would eliminate her arms and wings.
"I was originally planning to grind this wicked slave to dust, but for the sake of the Imperial Concubine, I'll give her some face and throw her into the mass grave in the south of the city."
“You…” Concubine Dong’s face had turned pale. The person was dead, but she still wouldn’t let him go. This woman was truly vicious.
"Your Highness will definitely be able to find that place. That was the place you found for the Third Prince to stay." Ah Man walked to the side of Concubine Dong and spoke slowly. His words were so chilling that Concubine Dong was frightened again.
"The emperor will not forgive you. I have been in the palace for more than ten years, and this is the first time someone dares to treat me like this. Just wait and see." Concubine Dong said loudly with a wooden face, but these words sounded more like she was comforting herself.
"Okay, I'll wait." Ah Man responded to Concubine Dong's back, but his words were not as firm as before.
Waiting, waiting to die
She had witnessed with her own eyes Murong Zheng's unconditional favor for Concubine Dong Guifei. No matter how she looked at it, she had no chance of winning against Concubine Dong with just a jade pendant.
