Consort Jing was disheveled and filthy, her sanity long gone.
She was confined in a cage, her head and hands fixed outside, wearing a giggling smile that seemed insane.
Countless rotten eggs and spoiled vegetable leaves were thrown at her, a festival of rage and venting for the common people.
Such a scene hadn't been witnessed since Lady Wang was beheaded.
Lady Wang was malicious, having caused Princess Consort Ling and her relatives to be separated for many years, and Consort Jing was no better. To elope with the Emperor, she killed the parents of Mei Yuzong, poisoned Mei Yuzong's throat, and yet she still peacefully remained a favored consort in the Imperial Palace, enjoying all the glory and riches!
No one would refrain from spitting on such a woman.
Some even cursed Chen Honglian for feigning madness to avoid humiliation.
Looking like this, she could hardly be recognized as her former self, resembling instead an old woman from a rural marketplace.
