Chapter 210 Demon Child
Previously during the Yuan Festival, the wives of all ministers in Zhaoge had to enter the rear palace to pay their respects to the Empress.
Not long after, another order was sent to the Huang Mansion, saying that Empress Su missed Huang Feihu’s original wife, Lady Jia, and wanted her to enter the palace.
Lady Jia thought that she had no acquaintance with Daji, so why would she call her over?
However, she did not grow suspicious and thought that this trip could be an opportunity to visit her sister-in-law, Huang Feihu’s sister, the West Palace Consort Huang.
Unfortunately, she was caught in a trap.
Although Lady Jia was over thirty years old, her appearance was still dignified and delicate.
Daji, having seen her last time, kept her in mind, knowing that King Zhou was a lecher. Although he usually adhered to etiquette and knew that a ruler should not see his ministers’ wives, once he was drunk and saw her, he was bound to lose control.
Sure enough, King Zhou humiliated Lady Jia in the Star Pick Building. To preserve her virtue, Lady Jia cursed loudly: "Faint-hearted King! My husband fought hard for this kingdom, achieving over thirty great victories, but you do not reward his deeds. Today you listen to Su Daji’s words and insult your minister’s wife. Faint-hearted King, you and that wretched Daji won’t know where you will die!"
She then threw herself off the Star Pick Building, smashing to pieces.
Seeing this, King Zhou sobered up considerably. Such a scandal had erupted, and it was too late for regrets.
