Chapter 261 The Palace Maid's Revenge and Sudden Wealth (5)
Su Dingding was in a great mood.
The emperor did not punish her, but instead gave her many rewards.
The Sixth Prince was placed under house arrest, and the Fourth Prince was on his way back to the capital.
He was unaware of the current changes in the palace.
As soon as he entered the palace, the Fourth Prince was arrested by the Imperial Guards and brought before the Emperor.
Upon hearing the Emperor's question, the Fourth Prince was completely bewildered.
He asked the Emperor for three days, promising to investigate the matter thoroughly and prove his mother's innocence!
The Fourth Prince was, after all, the Emperor's favorite son, and he wanted to give him another chance, so he agreed.
Unfortunately, Su Dingding didn't want to give him a chance.
The next day, the Fourth Prince, in a moment of madness, led his men to force the Emperor to abdicate in his favor!
Fortunately, the Third Prince and other main characters came to the Emperor's rescue in time, while the Fourth Prince fought back fiercely and was seriously injured.
He regained consciousness and couldn't believe what he had done.
"Father, I didn't do this! Someone must have framed me!"
The emperor was startled and angrily slapped him.
Do you think I'm stupid?
The Fourth Prince knew he had no chance, but he still kept kowtowing and admitting his mistakes.
"I admit I wanted to be the emperor, but I never intended to take my father's life!"
Upon hearing this, even the Fourth Prince was shocked.
Why did he blurt out what was on his mind?!
The Emperor glared at him angrily, "Guards, lock the Fourth Prince in jail."
"Father, your son was wrong, Father..."
The Fourth Prince was so angry that he coughed up blood.
He had been stabbed in the arm and back, and was bleeding profusely.
But he could no longer feel pain; his heart was ashen.
It's all over, it's all over!
The next day, news came from the prison that the Fourth Prince had died from his injuries.
The Emperor was heartbroken, after all, the Fourth Prince was a son he valued highly. What a pity!
Little did they know, the real Fourth Prince had already been replaced by Su Dingding.
Doesn't he like being imprisoned? Let him experience what it's like to be imprisoned in this life.
When the Fourth Prince opened his eyes, he found himself lying in an unfamiliar room.
The room had an unpleasant smell, and there were several chamber pots next to the bed.
He slowly sat up and realized that he was completely weak.
At that moment, several deranged concubines burst in.
"Your Majesty, would you like me to serve you tonight?"
"The Emperor summoned me; he loves my feet the most..."
"His Majesty loves to see me dance, and now I'll dance for him!"
"Your Majesty, I haven't yet borne you any children..."
The Fourth Prince's face turned ashen. With nowhere to hide, he could only shout, "Get out of here, all of you!"
"Your Majesty, are we about to fall out of favor again?"
Suddenly, a mad concubine pulled out a large cleaver and walked to the bedside.
"What are you going to do?" The Fourth Prince tried to dodge, but he was too weak.
"We must keep the Emperor; the Emperor belongs to us, hahahaha..."
Amidst the laughter, the mad concubine raised her cleaver and slashed at the Fourth Prince's thigh.
"what!"
Amidst cries of agony, the Fourth Prince broke one of his legs.
The mad concubine laughed wildly as she picked up the severed leg, "The Emperor is mine now! Hahaha, the Emperor will never abandon me again..."
The Fourth Prince was drenched in sweat, too pained to speak.
The other mad concubines followed suit and picked up the cleavers that had been thrown on the ground.
"don't want……"
The Fourth Prince was in despair; he was a powerful and influential general!
Why have I become so powerless that I have to be bullied by these crazy old women?
"Ah!" Another scream rang out as the Fourth Prince's other leg was also severed.
The Fourth Prince was deathly pale and trembling all over.
Watching the mad concubine happily run away while clinging to his leg, his lips trembled but he couldn't utter a single word.
Several mad concubines also ran out.
Only the mad concubine remained. She went over and tore off her dirty dress to bandage the wound on the fourth prince's thigh.
After bandaging him up, she frowned and kept wiping away the blood.
“This won’t work. Go and find me the imperial physician…” the Fourth Prince reminded him.
The mad concubine completely ignored him, muttering to herself, "It's all blood, how can it have offspring?"
"What do you want to do?" The Fourth Prince was bewildered.
His mind went blank. He was about to die, and this crazy woman was still thinking about that kind of thing!
"I need the imperial physician!"
"I want to have many children and grandchildren!"
The mad concubine's obsession ran too deep, and she couldn't care about anything else, so she started to rip off her clothes.
The Fourth Prince was in excruciating pain, so naturally he didn't have the ability.
Clearly, the mad concubine had no experience of being favored, and after humiliating the fourth prince, she happily ran away.
"I'm pregnant with the Emperor's child! Hahaha, I'm going to produce an heir for the Emperor! Hahaha..."
Su Dingding looked at them and shook her head.
Indeed, entrusting the Fourth Prince to them was a wise choice.
The Fourth Prince thought he was going to die, but he bravely survived.
At the same time, he also discovered something: the room he was staying in was a latrine.
Those mad concubines would come over to relieve themselves as if no one else was there.
The house was swarming with flies every day, and his legs were a particular habitat for them.
He felt like he was going to mold and stink.
Those mad concubines would come to tease him when they were bored, making him more and more desperate.
The Fourth Prince did not not want to die, but he was so weak that he could not even die if he wanted to.
The most embarrassing thing was that he couldn't hold it in every day and had to poop and pee in his pants, leaving the bed filthy, but he couldn't move and could only lie on the excrement.
What a shame!
Su Dingding ignored him and just kept him hanging on by a thread.
And apart from those mad concubines, no one else could see the Fourth Prince, so he was left here to suffer the torment he deserved.
Palace intrigue was none of her concern. After informing the Emperor, Su Dingding left the palace.
She's going to start her own business and open the most popular restaurant in the entire capital!
Two months later, the restaurant opened.
These are all signature dishes, attracting many customers to come and taste them.
Su Dingding personally taught eight apprentices from the eight major cuisines, which allowed her to focus on being the manager.
The restaurant gained fame within a few days of opening, attracting the main characters as well.
The Third Prince was somewhat shocked when he saw Su Dingding. "Are you Chunying?"
“Young master, you have mistaken me for someone else. I am Bai Yingying, the manager of this restaurant,” Su Dingding greeted the guests with a smile. “Please come up to the private room upstairs!”
The Third Prince didn't ask any further questions, but he was convinced that this was Chunying, the steward of the Cold Palace.
If it weren't for her, the Fourth Prince probably wouldn't have died so quickly.
He should thank her!
However, now was not the time to speak, so he could only laugh it off.
Behind the Third Prince were his loyal followers, while the female lead, Luo Yiran, kept her distance from him, indicating that the two had clearly had a falling out.
Su Dingding rolled her eyes as she watched their retreating figures.
The original owner was very open and honest with them, but on the day she was sentenced to death, Luo Yiran happened to be unwell. The Third Prince chose to visit Luo Yiran over saving her.
When he returned to the palace and learned that Chunying had died, he lamented that he had thought it would be in time to save her when he returned, but he did not expect Consort Qi to act so quickly.
Luo Yiran also cried, saying that she shouldn't have gotten sick. Everyone comforted her, and they put Chunying's death out of their minds.
No matter what, she's just a palace maid. Do you really think a group of princes, princesses, and ministers' daughters would genuinely care about you?
Thinking of all this, Su Dingding pursed her lips. No, she had to make things difficult for them!
