The mistress is reborn, no one who bullies me can escape
Chapter 47 Huangshan Temple 13
There was a dull thump, and Xue Qing'er's knees softened, and she fell straight to the ground. Her face was as pale as paper, and she said in a trembling voice, "Your Highness, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with Prince Zhuang's Mansion or the Grand Tutor's Mansion! Moreover, the handwriting was not written by me, Your Highness, please be careful and discerning."
The prince narrowed his eyes slightly, with a suspicious light flashing in his eyes, like a cold star in the night sky, and said coldly: "Princess, I am really confused. Just now you said with certainty that the note was written by you, but now you deny it flatly. Do you really think that I am so easy to deceive, like a three-year-old child?"
"Your Highness, please spare me! It's really not like that. That note was definitely not written by me!" Xue Qing'er was extremely anxious, cold sweat dripped down her forehead, and she was extremely terrified.
If she was related to the assassin, the prince would definitely go to the Prince Zhaozhuang Mansion and the Grand Tutor's Mansion to question her. If it was just the Grand Tutor's Mansion Xue Family, it would be easier to deal with. After all, the Xue Family had always been quite protective of her. Even for her affair with Zhao Yuxuan, not only did everyone in the family not blame her, but they all lent a hand.
However, once Prince Zhuang's residence was implicated, the consequences would be disastrous. Not only would her affairs with the Crown Prince be exposed, but even her affair with Zhao Yuxuan would be hard to escape investigation.
Xue Qing'er was filled with fear and anxiety at the moment, as if the whole world was about to collapse. She had never thought that things would develop to such an extent. She originally thought it was just a small adventure, but she didn't expect it to turn into a huge disaster. This feeling of losing more than she gained made her miserable.
The prince's brows were tightly knitted together, forming a deep "川" character. His eyes were like torches, staring straight at Xue Qing'er, as if he wanted to see through her eyes the true thoughts deep in her heart. "If it wasn't written by you, then who wrote it?" The prince's voice was low and majestic, with an unquestionable power.
Facing the prince's questioning, Xue Qing'er's face turned pale as paper, and beads of sweat appeared on her forehead. She stammered and replied, "Your Majesty...Your Majesty doesn't know either." At this moment, she only hoped to get rid of this matter as soon as possible, and she had to hold on no matter what.
However, the prince obviously did not believe her. His eyes revealed a hint of suspicion and dissatisfaction, and the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he snorted coldly: "Don't you know?"
These two simple words struck Xue Qing'er's heartstrings like a heavy hammer, making her feel suffocated.
Xue Qing'er knew that she could not hesitate any longer and had to do everything she could to prove her innocence. So, she quickly said, "Yes, I really don't know who wrote the Buddhist scripture and why it suddenly appeared in my house. I hope Your Highness the Crown Prince can see clearly." At the end of her words, her voice was already filled with tears and tears welled up in her eyes.
Although she was very scared, Xue Qing'er still tried to stay calm.
She knew that the prince in front of her was no ordinary person. He was completely different from Zhao Yuxuan, a weak and incompetent man who was easily influenced by women. The prince was smart, wise, calm and decisive, and had a keen insight and judgment on everything. Moreover, he never showed pity for women in his eyes, and would not be easily fooled by women's sweet words.
Thinking of this, Xue Qing'er couldn't help but secretly regret it. She regretted why she impulsively recognized that the note was written by her. What was the result? Not only did she not get what she wanted, but she also caused such a big trouble.
If she could do it again, she would never cause trouble. Unfortunately, there is no medicine for regret in the world, and it is too late to say anything now...
At this moment, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly ordered, "Come here, bring the writing brush and ink."
Soon, someone brought the four treasures of the study to Xue Qing'er. The Crown Prince pointed at the Buddhist scripture and said coldly, "You, copy down this page of the Buddhist scripture." His tone was firm and resolute, leaving no room for negotiation.
Xue Qing'er knew very well that this matter could not be delayed. She was extremely nervous and did not even dare to breathe. She picked up the pen with trembling hands. However, even so, her movements still seemed a little shy.
It was because of the powerful aura of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince that she could hardly breathe, and she almost fainted several times. But she knew very well in her heart that she could not afford to make any mistakes at this moment.
After a difficult struggle, she finally finished writing, but at this time she was already sweating profusely from fear.
"Your Highness, please take a look." With a trembling voice, the guard respectfully handed over the words written by Xue Qing'er.
His Royal Highness the Crown Prince glanced over, and his already serious face became even more solemn.
There is no doubt that the handwriting of Xue Qing'er is very different from the handwriting on the mysterious note. Although the two are quite similar at first glance, as long as you look closely, you can find that there are many subtle differences between them, which would be difficult to detect if you are not a meticulous person.
Rather than saying that the handwriting is different, it is better to say that someone deliberately copied Xue Qing'er's handwriting. But why would someone go to such great lengths to imitate her handwriting?
The flickering candlelight reflected on his noble, elegant and majestic face, making the atmosphere in the whole room even more depressing and dull.
Xue Qing'er knelt down there in fear, feeling a chill rising from her spine and quickly spreading throughout her body, while her legs gradually became numb.
"Your Highness, I am really innocent! I beg you to spare my life. I will never dare to do it again." Xue Qing'er's face was covered with tears and she pleaded in a trembling voice. Her pitiful appearance made people feel pity for her.
However, the prince was unmoved. He looked at Xue Qing'er coldly and said, "Whether she is innocent or not cannot be determined by your words alone. Go and notify the people from Prince Zhuang's Mansion and the Grand Tutor's Mansion to come!"
Hearing this, Xue Qing'er trembled all over as if struck by lightning, and thought to herself that something was wrong.
If people from Prince Zhuang's mansion come, then all the truth will be revealed! Thinking of this, her eyes went dark and her body fell limply.
Seeing this, the guards at the side hurried forward to report: "Your Highness, the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Zhuang's Mansion has fainted."
The prince frowned slightly and ordered coldly: "Send someone to drag her away and lock her up. Humph, I want to see how the Prince Zhuang's Mansion and the Grand Tutor's Mansion will explain this matter. If they can't give me a satisfactory explanation, I'm afraid the Crown Prince's Concubine will be suspected of colluding with the assassin."
At dawn, when the sky was just beginning to turn pale, Yinghua hurried over to report to Xue Jinhua about Xue Qing'er's situation. She was excited and narrated the whole incident with great excitement.
"Miss, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was furious! It is said that he was so furious that he immediately ordered the Crown Princess to be locked up. He also said that if Prince Zhuang's Mansion and the Grand Tutor's Mansion did not give a reasonable explanation, the Crown Princess would be charged with treason and treason!" Sakura described the scene vividly, as if she had witnessed it with her own eyes.
Yinghua's face was filled with joy, and her voice was trembling with excitement: "Miss, in my opinion, this prince's concubine will definitely not be able to escape this time! As long as His Royal Highness the Crown Prince gets angry, I think the Prince Zhuang's Mansion and the Grand Tutor's Mansion will not be able to protect her."
Sakura couldn't help feeling nauseous when she thought of the seductive and charming look of the Crown Prince's wife who was trying to seduce the Marquis.
Humph, how shameless! Now the Marquis has seen through her true colors, and she has received the punishment she deserves. In this way, my young lady can finally vent her anger!
Xue Jinhua actually had a premonition about this matter a long time ago, but Xue Qing'er is now the Crown Princess of Prince Zhuang's Mansion after all, and she has the support and protection of the Xue family of the Grand Tutor's Mansion behind her.
Even though he is notorious, it would probably not be easy to take his life.
Although His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was furious, he did not execute her outright.
It’s just that...Xue Qing’er’s reputation has been ruined, so for her, living a life worse than death must be more painful!
At this moment, Li San's voice suddenly came from outside the door: "Miss, the beggar master is here."
This sudden sound abruptly interrupted the conversation between the master and the servant. Upon hearing this, Xue Jinhua hurriedly responded, "Please come in quickly!"
Sakura was like a vigilant little animal, afraid of being discovered by others, so she waited quietly at the door.
At this time, Xue Jinhua respectfully performed a standard etiquette to the person in front of her, and asked, "Master, I wonder if my fate has changed?" Her eyes were full of earnest expectations.
The beggar narrowed his eyes slightly, stretched out his fingers and began to calculate. Xue Jinhua, who was standing beside him, stared at him nervously, secretly praying for good news. However, in Xue Jinhua's joyful expectation, the beggar slowly shook his head and said, "Madam, your fate has not changed at all, and the person who tried to change your fate is still doing so."
Hearing this, Xue Jinhua was shocked. Her face was as gloomy as water, as deep as a cold pond. She was full of doubts and asked, "How...how is this possible? I have already carefully designed the person who swapped my fate to be infamous. He will never have a chance to turn things around in the future. He should not be able to use my fate again. How can he still do this now?"
Facing Xue Jinhua's series of questions, the beggar responded slowly: "Madam, is the person you are talking about the Crown Prince's Consort of Prince Zhuang's Mansion?"
Xue Jinhua nodded without hesitation, but then the beggar unexpectedly denied it, "That's not the case. In fact, the person who really tried to steal your fate was not the prince's consort at all."
"No...it can't be right?"
Instantly, a strong shock surged into Xue Jinhua's heart like a tide, and she was completely stunned. On that originally beautiful face, there was now a complex expression that was difficult to describe in words, as if the whole world had become strange and unpredictable at this moment.
Her fate in her previous life seemed to be shrouded in a layer of fog, and all these changes were caused by the arrival of Xue Qing'er.
The person who once made her fall in love with all her heart actually betrayed her without mercy; and those relatives who were supposed to be connected to her by blood and close to her never regarded her as a real family member - all this was because Xue Qing'er replaced her.
So, when the wheel of fate turned again and gave her a chance to be reborn, she resolutely decided to expose Xue Qing'er's hypocritical true face. However, things did not go as she wished, and now she was told that the person who stole her fate was not Xue Qing'er.
"Who is it?" Xue Jinhua couldn't help but mutter to herself, her voice trembling uncontrollably. Could it not be the Xue family? Or Xue Qing'er? It couldn't be the Zhao family... Then, who is the mysterious black hand hiding behind the scenes and manipulating all this?
She was puzzled. She had never met that person before and had no grudges or entanglements with him. Why did he go to such great lengths to steal her fate? This question was like a heavy stone weighing on her heart, making her breathless.
At this moment, the beggar said slowly: "I originally tried to peek into the secrets of heaven, but I realized that there was a powerful force trying its best to cover up the truth. Being able to deduce that the fate-changing was not done by the Crown Prince's wife is already the limit of my ability. Moreover, in order to do this, I have spent a lot of my mind and energy. At present, my own Taoist practice has not yet been completed, and I am still in the stage of overcoming the tribulation. I really cannot explore more deeply. If Madam wants to know the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes, I am afraid you can only wait for my master to arrive in the capital before making plans." After speaking, he shook his head helplessly, indicating that he could not help.
"Thank you, Master. If your master arrives in Kyoto, please let me know." Xue Jinhua said earnestly.
"Madam, please be at ease! Now, your so-called disaster is actually the same as my disaster, so I will definitely do my best to help you." The other party responded in a firm tone.
After this person left, Xue Jinhua could not help but fall into deep thought. Who else was there besides Xue Qing'er? Who dared to exchange fate with her? This question was like a fog, lingering in her mind for a long time.
At this moment, a crisp sound of footsteps came. It turned out to be Yinghua rushing over. She said breathlessly, "Miss, the old lady sent someone to tell you to come over earlier. She said that she would burn incense and pray for blessings immediately."
Xue Jinhua was suddenly brought back to reality by Yinghua's words. She calmed herself down and replied softly, "I know. Go and tell the old lady that I'll be there soon."
No matter who that mysterious person is, since he has given me the chance to be reborn, I must dig him out and make him receive the punishment he deserves, even if it means cutting him into pieces! Thinking of this, a hint of determination flashed in Xue Jinhua's eyes.
