Quick Transmigration: Host, Please Be a Mute Beauty

Chapter 162 The Eldest Princess, Unapproachable Yet Insisting on Arranging a Marriage 24

Qin Pianyue shook her head desperately. She wouldn't kill her, but sometimes death was more terrifying than life.

"Why? Why were you born into a noble family while I am just a concubine's daughter? All I wanted was to climb the social ladder. What did I do wrong?"

"Qin Pianyue, I sympathize with you. You did nothing wrong; what you did wrong was your attitude. You need to know what you can and cannot do. If you had used your advanced knowledge to improve the world, things wouldn't have come to this. Finally, let me say this: men are not everything to you, and you don't really love Bai Chenshu."

Qin Pianyue seemed to have realized something; she had nowhere else to go...

Jiang Qiao stood up, her tone relaxed, as if she were talking about something very ordinary, "Someone, Qin Pianyue... what reason do you want to give? Qin Pianyue was investigated by this princess for plotting to harm the prince, her tongue was cut out, and she was sent back to the Minister's residence."

The door was pushed open by a guard, and a gust of wind blew in, scattering the papers on the desk.

The piece of paper Jiang Qiao had just written on was blown in front of Qin Pianyue. Qin Pianyue picked it up, read what was written on it, and curled her lips. "Jiang Qiao, your ruthlessness is worthy of your position. I hope you don't fall too hard."

"Then you don't need to worry."

After saying that, he ordered the men, "What are you all standing there for? Drag them out."

Qin Pianyue struggled a few times, but couldn't move at all. Before her tongue was cut off, she left behind her last words.

"Jiang Qiao, I have a big gift for you later, I hope you'll be happy!"

Then came a bloody scene.

Jiang Qiao inside the house didn't care at all; she wasn't afraid of anything now!

"Rain Star".

"Princess, please give your orders." Her voice trembled; she was somewhat afraid.

Jiang Qiao sensed the girl's fear and pulled her closer. "Yu Xing, do you think this princess is scary?"

"No, I was just terrified because it was the first time I had ever seen such a bloody scene."

Jiang Qiao, of course, didn't believe it. After all, he was still a child, and it was normal for him to be scared. "I know I'm bad, but I don't regret it. People should be punished for their mistakes, and so should I. You were brought into the palace by Granny Yu. If you don't like me here, I can send you back."

Yu Xing knelt down. "No, Princess, I don't want to go back. I want to stay with you. You've been so good to me. I've never seen you cook for me before. You're such a wonderful person to me."

Jiang Qiao helped her up again, saying, "Alright, since you've chosen to stay with me, you have to listen to me."

Yu Xing wiped away her tears. "Princess, please give your orders!"

Jiang Qiao handed her the blood-stained paper, saying, "Go outside the palace to different clinics and get all these medicines, then bring them to me."

"what is this?"

"Poison? What? Do you want to go? If not, I'll summon Yunyan."

Yu Xing folded the paper neatly and put it in her bosom, her eyes resolute. "Go!"

……

outside the palace.

Qin Pianyue's mouth was covered in blood as the guards left her at the door.

Many people gathered around to watch the spectacle.

"What's going on here?"

"I don't know, let's see!"

"What's going on in the palace lately? I heard today that the Emperor has deposed Consort Zhu, whom he has favored for many years, and the Prime Minister's residence has been exiled!"

"It's not as easy to stay in this palace as it seems; there's a lot of trouble there!"

……

Qin Pianyue opened her mouth and sobbed, but blood kept gushing out. No one knew what she was saying.

Until she took out a piece of paper, which she had prepared for herself before going to Chang Le Palace.

She threw the paper into the crowd and then crashed into the city gate. The guards didn't even have time to stop her.

Jiang Qiao, I hope you like this gift. Can Anhuai Kingdom really accept such a vicious princess?

"Ah, it's the Eldest Princess again!"

"She's hurting someone again!"

"Having such a princess is a misfortune for the Kingdom of Anhuai!"

"A scourge to the country and its people!"

……

The note clearly read: "This humble woman died unjustly; the Princess harmed me!"

The saying "A dying man's words are good" planted a seed of evil in the hearts of these people.

The Hall of Nourishing Heart.

"Rebellious daughter! Is she trying to rebel?! The two daughters of the Qin family were appointed officials by me personally, and today she drove someone to their death. Is she blaming me?!"

When Jiang Ji learned the news, he flew into a rage again!

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Perhaps there is another reason behind this."

"What secret could there be? I just felt bad for them all these years and that's why I lifted her confinement. And this happens today! I think she should be confined for another six months!"

Li Dequan stopped speaking.

Just then, a young eunuch ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Consort Zhu... she's crying and demanding to see you, saying that if you don't come, she... won't live anymore."

Li Dequan scolded him, "Can't you see the Emperor is furious? You get out of here!"

Jiang Ji saw the portrait of the beauty again. He still had genuine feelings for Lou Zhuxin, otherwise he wouldn't have spared her life.

"Li Dequan, come with me to take a look!"

"Yes!"

Cold palace.

It was indeed desolate here; not a single tree had been planted in the courtyard, and the ground was covered in white snow.

The inner chamber was also very dirty, with cobwebs all over it.

Lou Zhuxin was still wearing the brocade robes bestowed by the Emperor, making her completely out of place. She sat in front of the dressing table, staring at herself in the bronze mirror, tears streaming down her face.

Overnight, she lost everything! Jiang Ji ultimately didn't want her anymore!

Granny Liu walked in and announced, "Your Highness, the Emperor has arrived!"

Lou Zhuxin stood up with delight and looked up at Jiang Ji.

"Your Majesty, are you here to take me back? I promise, I promise to get along well with the Empress from now on. I will do whatever she asks me to do. I know I was wrong. I will kneel down and apologize to the First Prince and pray for his well-being. I will do anything you ask, as long as I can stay by your side. Besides, we still have Yongning. She can't be without her mother!"

Jiang Ji was speechless. He felt sorry for Lou Zhuxin, but she had made too many mistakes.

Murdering the imperial heir and the empress dowager, or interfering in politics by the empress dowager—which of these isn't a serious crime!

Lou Zhuxin continued to plead, "Your Majesty, are you really willing to give up our years of affection? You said you would marry me as your principal wife, but in the end I am still a concubine. I know your pain and I don't blame you, but why is Bai Mian the principal wife? Why her of all people?"

Jiang Ji finally spoke, "Why can't it be her? You two haven't had any conflicts!"

Excessive thinking made her lose sight of reality. This secret had been buried in her heart for many years, and she dared not tell anyone.

Lou Zhuxin was in a daze at the moment, as if she were awake, but also as if she were in a dream. Years of pressure mixed with resentment and anger made her speak recklessly.

"Your Majesty, do you know? In this world, I have never envied anyone so much, nor hated anyone so much. Bai Mian has a perfect family background, is loved by her father and brothers, and is exceptionally talented. Everyone wants to be her friend. Compared to her, I am like an ant on the ground, utterly insignificant. I know why Your Majesty admires me so much, but it's only because of that painting of a beauty from back then. Without that painting, Your Majesty might not even remember who I am. But, Your Majesty, do you know? That painting is not mine, it belongs to Bai Mian. So, Your Majesty has loved the wrong person all these years. Thinking about it, it's actually quite ridiculous!"

"Sometimes I really envy her, she can conquer you with just one painting, but I also pity her, she has been trampled underfoot by me, this imposter, all these years. Your Majesty, do you think I should resent her?"
