AWB Chapter 681 Demoted to Common People
Chapter 681 Demoted to Common People
Although Concubine Shu was unwilling, she knew that this was probably her end.
It was revenge that kept her alive for so long.
How could she be willing to die without seeing the day when Concubine Li died?
But Luo Junhe is different.
He is the son of Emperor Jingyang, the god of war of Dongchen Kingdom, and the most admired person by the people.
If something happened to him in the clan house, the people outside would definitely stand up for him and cause trouble with the court.
Even if Emperor Jingyang wanted to appease the people, he would not allow the people to cause trouble with the people in the court.
Therefore, although Luo Junhe was imprisoned in the clan residence, he might be released soon.
Concubine Shu thought so and said to Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang: "Your Highness, Princess Ye, you are both smart people."
"I believe that without me saying more, you will find that your mother is not as kind as she appears to be. She has a lot of bad intentions waiting to harm you."
"If you, Your Highness the Night King and the Night Princess, believe me, please take some time to check on your mother. Maybe you will come back to thank me."
Concubine Shu knew that in this dynasty, it was a very unfilial act to let her son and daughter-in-law investigate her mother.
But she couldn't care less. With her ability, she would never be able to take revenge on Concubine Li in her lifetime.
It would be better to place hope on Luo Junhe, maybe he can bring her a surprise.
Shufei didn't talk to them for too long before she was discovered by the supervising servant and taken back.
Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe were locked in a room.
Seeing that there was no one around, Ji Yuntang asked Luo Junhe.
"Ah He, how much do you think we can trust Concubine Shu's words?"
Luo Junhe's narrow eyes deepened a little, he pursed his lips and said:
"His enemy is Concubine Li, and I am Concubine Li's son, so the first time she saw me, she must have wanted to kill me."
"She is very smart. She knows that she can't kill me, so she changed her tactics and tried to use those words to arouse my hatred towards Concubine Li."
"But we cannot rule out the possibility that she knew she couldn't kill me, so she deliberately tried to alienate our mother-son relationship."
Luo Junhe did not completely believe what Concubine Shu said, but he did not completely disbelieve it either.
In his opinion, the other party must have some purpose in telling him so much.
More or less, it is beneficial to Concubine Shu herself.
Concubine Li was indeed not kind to him, but if he really let Concubine Shu lead him by the nose, then they would definitely be the ones who would suffer.
Therefore, Luo Junhe felt that it would be better for them to wait and see.
Ji Yuntang also thought so.
She said, "I don't believe that someone who wanted to kill us at the beginning would suddenly have good intentions towards us."
It is obvious that Concubine Shu's purpose is to use Luo Junhe to avenge herself and let them take action against Concubine Li.
Ji Yuntang found such behavior very offensive.
You know, both of them have been arrested and taken to the clan house.
To ordinary people, it is obvious that they can hardly protect themselves.
However, Concubine Shu wanted to stir up Luo Junhe's hatred towards Concubine Li with just a few words, without considering his situation and safety at all.
Ji Yuntang hated Concubine Li in her heart, but she also knew that this matter was of great importance.
We must check.
If you want to collect evidence, you still have to go out and do it step by step.
Neither of them wanted to be led by others.
At this moment, Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang went to Liangzhoukou to break into the prison and rescue people, and released the prisoners' news, but were released by Emperor Jingyang.
He publicized the story widely, even exaggerating it.
The general meaning is that Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang, as members of the royal family, not only failed to set a good example for the officials and people of Dongchen Kingdom.
Instead, without any evidence, he knocked out the guards and broke into the prison at the City Lord's Mansion, and secretly released his two subordinates from the dungeon.
They even deliberately released hundreds of prisoners and allowed them to cause trouble in the City Lord's Mansion. They beat the City Lord of Liangzhoukou to death and looted the City Lord's Mansion.
Although he is a descendant of the royal family, he is no different from a gangster. After causing such a big mess, he just ignored it and walked away clapping his hands.
Such behavior has seriously violated the laws of Dongchen Kingdom, caused great impact on the public security of Liangzhoukou, and damaged the reputation of the royal family.
As the king of a country, I must give an explanation and account to the people of Liangzhoukou.
Now the Night King and the Night Queen have been imprisoned in the clan residence by me.
After much deliberation, I have decided to give the Night King a hundred lashes and the Night King's Concubine fifty lashes, confiscate all the property of the Night King's Mansion, and demote them to commoners as a warning to others!
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire capital was in turmoil and excitement.
Some people are happy that someone is worried.
The happiest people were naturally Luo Jingshen and Concubine Li.
When they learned that Ji Yuntang and Luo Junhe were going to be demoted to commoners by Emperor Jingyang, they smiled so hard that their mouths almost reached their ears.
In Concubine Li's view, Emperor Jingyang finally did something that made her satisfied.
In the royal system, only those who made serious and irreparable mistakes would be demoted to commoners.
For them, being demoted to commoners is equivalent to losing all the halo of their identity.
From a high-ranking royal descendant, he became an ordinary civilian.
No matter where you go from now on, people will recognize you and point fingers at you and criticize you.
Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang will never be able to hold their heads up for the rest of their lives.
This will make them feel worse than killing them directly.
Once demoted to commoners, they will never have the possibility of regaining their status.
Even their descendants will never be able to return to the capital, and will not even be eligible to take the imperial examinations and obtain honors.
No matter how powerful Luo Junhe is, or how powerful Ji Yuntang is, what can they do?
They have worked so hard for so long, but are destined to have no chance of becoming emperor.
Concubine Li felt happy because Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang had already killed themselves before she even took any action.
If there weren't so many people in the palace, Concubine Li would even want to buy some firecrackers to celebrate this unforgettable day.
Luo Jingshen had almost the same idea.
But what he thought more about than Concubine Li was that Luo Junhe's leg was just fine, and he was about to be demoted to a commoner before he could enjoy the treatment of a prince.
Is there anything more satisfying than this?
Ji Yuntang was also dragged down by him and was demoted to an ordinary civilian.
He solved two major problems at once with almost no effort.
In this way, his position as crown prince is secure.
As long as Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang are not in the capital, no one can shake his position.
Even if one day his identity was discovered by the two of them, they would not be able to enter the capital.
Besides, who could believe what two civilians said?
By that time, he would be the supreme ruler, while Luo Junhe and Ji Yuntang would be just the mud under his feet.
How could they turn over the palm of his hand?
