I married the crippled queen and became the most favored queen in the capital

Even though Camellia was put in solitary confinement, Jinjie still came to bring her food and talk to her at the door.

Behind a door, the camellia was crying like pear blossoms in the rain.

"Your Highness, I am sorry for you. I am ashamed to see you. I actually lied to you just to be with you. Don't come to see me anymore. Just treat me as if I were dead! Mmmmm..."

Her trick of playing hard to get made Jinjie outside silent for a while...

"Your Highness, I know I was wrong. I don't want to ask for your forgiveness. I only ask... I only ask for you to hug me again before I die. I really... I really love you. Since the first time I saw you, when I didn't even know you were the crown prince, I had already fallen in love with you, uh uh uh..."

Although Jinjie was angry that she lied to him, he believed that her feelings for him were true.

Finally, he couldn't help but say:

"Chahua, just stay here peacefully. When your confinement period is over, I will transfer you to work for me..."

He wanted to make her a promise, but when the words came to his lips, he didn't continue.

The Queen Mother was right. He was too emotional and irrational when it came to the issue of Camellia.

Even if Camellia really likes him, she deceived him this time by faking her pregnancy. Will she do the same trick again next time?

"Chahua, my mother is very angry about this matter, and I am actually a little sad too. Although I can promise to transfer you to work for me after your confinement period is over, but... I can't guarantee that I can give you a name. I'm sorry."

These words made Camellia feel disappointed.

She clenched her fists and slid to the ground.

At this moment, she wished she could strangle herself to death.

Why would she lie about being pregnant in such a hurry?

Otherwise, even if she couldn't be his principal wife, considering the prince's love for her, being a concubine would be more than enough for her.

But now, she can only be a maid beside him.

The scene that happened in Dongyang Palace made Luo Nianxi even more worried. It seemed that she had to let him see the truth. Although it was cruel, it was better than him being kept in the dark like this!

In the afternoon, Nanny Wu opened the door of the camellia room and Yuan Ying walked in slowly.

She looked at Camellia lying on the bed, contented, and hummed softly.

"Are you the little maid who lied to the prince that you were pregnant in order to gain the throne?"

Hearing her voice, Chahua rolled over and sat up from the bed, half-closed her eyes and looked at her.

"who are you?"

"I'm here to settle accounts with you."

As he said this, Yuan Ying walked towards her bed, the whip in his hand kept winding around her.

"what are you up to……"

Camellia suddenly stood up from the bed and shrank back.

"Does His Royal Highness know you are here? Help! Help!"

"It's no use shouting your throat out, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is not in Dongyang Palace."

"Why do you want to kill me? I have not offended you."

"You haven't offended me, but you killed my cousin, and I'm here to avenge her."

"Your cousin? I don't recognize your cousin..."

"Oh, then let me tell you about my cousin. In order to seduce the prince, you designed a chance encounter with the prince and asked my cousin to help you. As a result, you succeeded in seducing the prince. My cousin wanted you to fulfill your promise and introduce her to the prince, but you refused. She told you that if you didn't let her see the prince, she would tell everyone about your plan to seduce the prince. In order to prevent people from discovering your ugly behavior, you strangled her to death while she was asleep and threw her into the dry well in the backyard. Is this true?"

Hearing this, Camellia turned pale, shook her head, and questioned,

"No... Impossible. We are the only two people who know about this. How did you know about it? This is impossible, impossible..."

"Humph! God is watching what you do. There is no such thing as a wall that is impenetrable. Camellia, you stepped on my cousin's corpse to gain the prince's trust. You really deserve to die."

As she said this, she pulled out the whip in her hand and swung it out, and the tip of the whip instantly wrapped around her neck several times.

Camellia was so frightened that she lost her soul and begged for mercy in a hurry.

"That...that...cousin, I...I know I was wrong, please forgive me, please forgive me!"

"Forgive you? Why should I forgive you? My aunt spent a lot of money to let my cousin enter the palace to work, hoping that one day she could become a concubine in the harem and let her family live a good life, but she was strangled to death by you, and you still want me to forgive you?"

"How about this, the prince gave me a lot of things, I will give them all to you, and I can also give you silver, any amount is fine, you wait until I sit on the position of the crown princess, I will definitely give you a lot of silver."

"Humph! You are about to become a prisoner, and you still want to be the Crown Princess? You are just dreaming."

"That's not the case. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince loves me. He promised to let me be the Crown Princess, and he will definitely do it."

"If he knew that you approached him just to become the Crown Princess and didn't really like him, what do you think he would do?"

"As long as you don't say it and I don't say it, he won't know. As long as you don't tell anyone about this, I will definitely... definitely repay you."

Yuan Ying tightened the whip in his hand and raised his eyebrows to ask,

"So you are really interested in the prince?"

Camellia shook her head hurriedly.

"Where can sincerity come from in this imperial city? I approached him just to please him, to become the Crown Princess, and to become the Queen in the future..."

"Oh!"

Before she could finish her words, the door was kicked open from the outside. Camellia looked towards the door in panic and saw Jinjie staring at her with bloodshot eyes. He then stepped forward, grabbed her collar fiercely, and asked angrily,

"Is what she just said true?"

Camellia was so frightened by this scene that she almost lost her soul.

She shook her head and explained,

"Your Highness, I like you too much, so I... did this."

Jinjie threw her to the ground with force and then shouted angrily,

"You...you've been lying to me all along, right?"

"Your Highness, I am sincere to you. I really like you."

At this time, Camellia still wanted to use the word "sincerity" to cover up the wrong things she had done.

"I heard everything you just said. You're still trying to make excuses. I never expected that I was sincere to you, but you used my sincerity as a means to get promoted. You really... disappoint me so much."

At this moment, someone called out from outside.

"Your Highness, a female corpse was found in the dry well in the backyard. It was confirmed that it was the palace maid who had previously lived in the same room with Camellia and had disappeared inexplicably. The imperial physician confirmed that she was strangled to death."

Everything matched up, and Jinjie's face turned pale in an instant.

He raised his hands and roared,

"Someone, throw this woman out and beat her to death with sticks."

Camellia turned pale with fear and begged for mercy.

"Your Highness, I was wrong, I was wrong, I know I was wrong, please forgive me for the sake of our past relationship!"

Spare? How could he spare?

He could accept her fake pregnancy, but he could not accept her trampling on other people's lives at will to satisfy her selfish desires.

What's the difference between a woman like this and a devil?

Although Camellia received the punishment she deserved, this incident was also a big blow to Jinjie.

He felt that he was a fool, a complete fool.

On the second day after Chahua was caned, he came directly to Leng Yiyan and Luo Nianxi, knelt on the ground,

"Father, Mother, I was deceived by a little palace maid, which shows that I am not qualified to take on this important task. Please decree that I be deposed as the Crown Prince."
