At the beginning, I saved a little mute

Xie Chengjing was listening to his subordinates' reports in the study.

"The things have been handed over to Cheng Shu. She has been brainwashed by the people we sent over the past two days. I believe she will take action soon."

"This matter is well done. You will go down to claim your reward later. Keep an eye on the movements in the Crown Prince's Mansion and report immediately if there is any news."

"Yes, master."

The man clasped his fists and disappeared.

A determined smile appeared on Xie Chengjing's face.

Speaking of which, when he first met Cheng Shu in the Prince's Mansion, a vague idea appeared in his mind.

This idea became clearer and clearer after he sent people to monitor Cheng Shu.

Until recently, he felt that the time was ripe and finally decided to take action against the prince.

He was determined to get that position.

Not long after, something happened in the Daxie Dynasty that shocked the court.

The prince has been poisoned!

Unconscious.

Even though the emperor sent the imperial physician immediately, the prince could not wake up.

The emperor was furious.

A thorough investigation was ordered.

This time, the whole story was discovered.

It turned out that the concubines in the prince's mansion were jealous of each other, and as a result, the prince accidentally ate the poisoned food.

Cheng Shu trembled, she didn't want this to happen.

She just wanted to kill the Crown Princess and become the Crown Princess herself.

How did it become like this?

When she realized that it was the prince who had eaten the meal, she was so scared that she hid in her room and refused to come out. However, there was no place for her to hide in the prince's mansion. After a while, she was caught by the emperor's men and tortured severely.

She didn't even have to confess; the maid assigned to her when she first arrived at the mansion betrayed her.

It was said that she was jealous of the Crown Princess and also resented the Crown Prince for not entering her room, so she wanted to kill two birds with one stone and put the blame on the Crown Princess.

"No, no, no, that's not true. She's talking nonsense."

Cheng Shu is going crazy.

After she got the jade pendant, she went through untold hardships to reach the capital from Qingfeng Town.

Only she knows the difficulties and dangers in the process.

After handing over the jade pendant, she was not accepted into the Prince's Mansion.

The Crown Princess naturally looked down on her, but she was also unwilling to have someone share her husband.

The prince's favored concubine cried several times.

Because Cheng Shu said that she was the only distant cousin of her brother who was reported by Que Yunsheng and was killed by wolves when he entered the mountains.

The concubine naturally didn't believe it, and she had indeed never met Cheng Shu, but with the jade pendant as evidence, she had no choice but to give her twenty taels of silver under the prince's gaze.

The concubine felt very sad, as twenty taels was enough for her to buy many things.

But now she has to give it to this woman. She feels extremely uncomfortable and there is no way she will keep that woman to cause trouble for herself.

But who is Cheng Shu?

She has great perseverance. Even in places like the brothels, she did not lose her fighting spirit. Now that she has come to the capital and seen a more prosperous place, she naturally works harder to make progress.

In this world, no one can stop Cheng Shu's steps.

Not my parents, not my brother, not anyone.

She, Cheng Shu, vowed to be the richest woman.

Unfortunately, she didn't expect that even though she was so cunning, there were still people even more cunning waiting behind her.

She tried her best to meet the prince by chance, and with that opportunity, she finally got her wish and entered the prince's mansion, even though she had no name or status.

Not even the lowest-ranking waiter.

But Cheng Shu was not afraid. She was willing to lose face and had learned those tricks in the brothel, so she was not afraid that the prince would not take the bait.

Sure enough, the prince was soon bewitched by her.

I stayed in her room for three consecutive days.

The Crown Princess was generous, but the concubine was not satisfied.

This led to the subsequent cooperation.

However, both of them thought they had a sure win.

No one knows that they are the cicada.

Cheng Shu had completely become a lamb to be slaughtered.
