The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

Lu Lingxi's eyes widened, and she looked at the scene in front of her in astonishment. She could never have imagined that this woman, Li, would admit her crime so straightforwardly, and even confessed her accomplices without hesitation!

However, when Lu Lingxi heard the so-called reason for the crime, he couldn't help but feel absurd. Just because Su Yun stole the limelight and glory of these two people at the Hundred Flowers Banquet, they became resentful and committed such a big mistake?

Thinking of this, Lu Lingxi muttered to himself: "Could it be that in the end I have to blame Su Yun for what she has done? Humph, that's ridiculous!" But fortunately, Su Yun was not present at this time, otherwise, with her spoiled personality, she would probably be so angry that she would fight with the two of them on the spot.

Lu Lingxi calmed down, turned to look at Nan Wangyu beside him, and said respectfully: "Your Highness, now the truth has been revealed. This matter has nothing to do with me, Chang Wei, and Xiaohua. As for these two culprits, you can decide their fate."

Nan Wangyu nodded and replied, "Okay."

Afterwards, he said to the Crown Prince's concubine Zhu: "Zhu, do you agree with what Li said?"

Zhu closed her eyes tightly, her face full of despair, as if she had already accepted the arrangement of fate. She said in a trembling voice: "The birth date and eight characters were indeed written by me! The puppet was made by Li. As for the idea, it was also her idea. I just agreed reluctantly because I was too embarrassed to refuse because of our deep friendship. I hope Your Highness can show mercy and forgive me this time. I promise you here that it will never happen again."

Li, who was standing by, was so angry that she was shaking all over. Her eyes were wide open as she retorted loudly, "You are just talking nonsense! This was clearly something we decided on together, but now you are putting all the blame on me, saying that I am the mastermind? I don't know anything about witchcraft! If you hadn't told me what to do and what to prepare, how would I know? It has come to this, and you are still only concerned with clearing yourself of all wrongdoings, without caring about our past friendship. I was really blind to have misjudged such a selfish person like you!"

Zhu pointed at herself and said, "I am selfish? When I was training alone in front of the palace, did I ever mention you? You were afraid of being punished, so you confessed as soon as you got here, and you dragged me into this. How dare you accuse me of being selfish?"

Seeing that Li was about to argue again, Nan Wangyu was afraid that the two would argue endlessly, so he interrupted with a sharp voice: "Shut up!"

Zhu and Li were so frightened that they pursed their lips and dared not say a word.

Nan Wangyu's beautiful and sharp eyes were like two cold rays, fiercely sweeping across Zhu and Li's faces. His gaze was as sharp as a knife, as if it could penetrate the souls of these two people, leaving them nowhere to hide. After quietly looking around, he slowly said, "Since both of you have admitted your crimes, then accept your punishment! Zhu and Li dared to practice the vicious art of curse in the Prince's Mansion, trying to curse others. Not only that, they also dared to bite the Crown Princess. Such behavior is really a heinous crime. It has seriously violated the laws of the Southern Expedition Kingdom and ignored the rules of the Prince's Mansion and the harem. Considering this, I have decided to immediately deprive you of your positions as the Prince's concubines. From now on, you will no longer have any honor and status, and will be demoted to lowly commoners. Moreover, I will divorce you and send you back to your parents' home, waiting for the severe accountability of the Dali Temple. Come on, take these two ignorant women away quickly!"

Following Nan Wangyu's order, several strong and powerful guards immediately stepped forward and dragged Zhu and Li away without mercy. The whole scene was filled with majesty and solemnity, which made people feel awe.

The matter here has been settled. Everyone in the hall stood up and saluted, saying, "Your Highness is wise!"

Zhu and Li, who were dragged away, shouted, "Your Highness, spare my life. I will never dare to do it again, never again."

Nan Wangyu ignored Zhu and Li and continued, "As for Qian, since you provided the clues about Xiangyunsha, I will promote you to Liangyuan."

Qian stepped forward and knelt down to express her gratitude: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Highness!"

Nan Wangyu waved his hand and said, "Let's all go."

The incident was finally brought to a complete end, and the entire trial process was brilliant. The people present not only witnessed the awe-inspiring strict rules of the Crown Prince's Mansion, but also experienced for the first time in person the Crown Prince's deep love for the Crown Princess.

When the Crown Princess felt sleepy, the Crown Prince gave an order and everyone immediately fell silent, not daring to make a sound, and stayed by her side, quietly waiting for her to wake up from her nap. The Crown Prince himself would stay by her side, always paying attention to his wife's every move.

After the Crown Princess slowly woke up, the Crown Prince, regardless of his noble status, took the trouble to personally serve her a cup of steaming hot, fragrant tea and took care of her in every possible way.

Not only that, when the Crown Princess was speaking, the Crown Prince always remained silent and never interrupted her easily, but listened attentively to every word of his beloved wife.

For those problems that the Crown Princess was unwilling to deal with or too lazy to solve, the Crown Prince always took them over without hesitation, doing his best to help her solve her problems without any complaints. These actions made everyone feel deeply moved and envious. It seems that the Crown Prince's Mansion will follow the Crown Princess' lead in the future.

Among the prince's many concubines, only Concubine Shang and Lu Lingxi had a close relationship, so Concubine Shang knew more or less about the prince's doting attitude towards the princess. However, the other concubines knew nothing about this. They only thought that the marriage between the prince and the princess was just a political marriage. In their opinion, it was enough for the couple to maintain a superficial respect for each other in front of everyone. How could they have thought that the prince would be so doting on the princess in private and accommodate her in every way? This difference in cognition made the situation in the palace more complicated.

Concubine Wang stood in the distance, watching the Crown Prince dote on the Crown Princess. The resentment in her heart surged like a tide, unable to calm down.

Thinking back to the beginning, she had married into the prince's mansion with great joy and expectation, but now three years have passed! For three years, she had tried her best to please the prince and used all means to attract his attention, but what was the result? The prince had always ignored her and had never even glanced at her.

And that Lu Lingxi, who had only known the Crown Prince for two or three months, was so infatuated with her that he gave her all his love without reservation. How could Concubine Wang not be jealous? How could she accept it willingly?

"Why?" Concubine Wang muttered to herself, gritting her teeth. "Why can she easily win the heart of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? In what way am I inferior to her? In terms of appearance, I think I am not inferior; in terms of talent, I am not inferior to her, a daughter of a military commander. But why is she the one who is so favored, while I can only stay alone in my empty room, feeling sad?"

Thinking of this, Concubine Wang could no longer control her anger and jealousy. She clenched her hands into fists, digging her nails deep into her palms, but she didn't feel any pain. At this moment, she had only one thought in her mind: She must win back the favor of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
