After transmigrating into the book, I replaced the innocent-looking girl and became the Crown Prince

The old lady was very upset as she looked at her third concubine pleading for mercy below.

Indeed, it was a concubine from a merchant family who raised such an unpresentable daughter.

Aunt Ping's lips moved twice, but seeing that the old lady didn't speak, she didn't dare to make a sound.

If she's like this, then everyone else below her is even more so.

They had all heard about what happened last night, and they never expected that the Fourth Miss would be so audacious.

She actually dared to let a man from outside the palace into the inner courtyard, attempting to frame the prince's concubine.

She deserved such punishment.

Seeing that Consort Rong still wanted to plead, the old lady waved her hand impatiently and said:

“Rong family, you don’t need to beg anymore.”

Ting'er is always protective of his own, so my words have no effect.

Ting-jie is really bold, daring to frame even the women in her brother's courtyard.

Fortunately, she is not very old, it's only about a year, so her marriage won't be delayed.

I only hope that she can cultivate her character well in the nunnery, and if she can change her temperament, she can return sooner.

Since the old lady has said so, it means there is truly no room for negotiation.

After hesitating for a moment, Madam Rong had no choice but to step back and dared not plead any further.

Seeing Rong Shi looking like a defeated rooster, the Lady of the Marquis inwardly sneered.

She stepped forward and said to the old lady, "Old lady, Ting'er told me this morning that he wants to elevate Wu Shi to the position of concubine. What do you think?"

The words of the Lady Hou were like a bomb dropped into everyone's hearts.

The shock left everyone feeling dizzy and with ringing in their ears.

Everyone thought that Wu had turned misfortune into blessing.

From a maidservant to a favored concubine of the Marquis's heir, that's some speed...

Everyone looked up at the old lady, wanting to know how she would respond.

The old lady frowned.

Ting'er is not yet married. If he were to take a concubine, it would likely be detrimental to the reputation of the Marquis's mansion...

Looking at the old lady's appearance, how could Liu not know her concerns?

Ke Ting'er has already spoken today, so telling her is just informing her.

"Grandma, I think Wu Shi suffered the most from this incident."

Ting'er mentioning her rank was probably meant as compensation, so why don't you...

The old lady leaned on her cane, pondered for a long time, and then said, "Let's do as he says!"

Rong walked out of Yong'an Hall, looking utterly dejected.

Her daughter was punished by being sent to a nunnery for a year because of this, but that wretched woman Wu turned out to be a blessing in disguise and became the prince's concubine.

Wu Weiwei, I want to see if you can sit still in this position.

Inside the Biyun Courtyard.

Everyone was overjoyed to learn that Wu Weiwei had been promoted to the position of the Crown Prince's concubine.

Only Linghe felt incredibly regretful seeing Wanqiu and Lingfu so happy.

She did this so discreetly that the girl probably won't find out, right?

Just as she was thinking this, she heard Wanqiu call her from the side.

"Linghe, I saw that your bed was empty when I woke up the night before last. Where did you go?"

The fact that the girl didn't pursue the matter doesn't mean she didn't understand.

She had noticed something was off about Linghe these past few days, and when the girl mentioned that two pages of her large-character manuscript were missing, she knew that something was amiss.

"Wanqiu, I... I had diarrhea that night and spent the whole night in the outhouse."

Linghe stammered.

"Okay, I won't pursue this matter that night. But what about this morning? Where were you in the middle of the night?"

Linghe stared at her in surprise.

"you……"

"Linghe, it's only because the young lady punished you."

But you betrayed her, how could you do this to her? How could you face the girl who raised you like this?

With a creak, the door to the room opened, and Wu Weiwei walked out with a gloomy face.

"Linghe, do you know your mistake?"

"Aunt, young lady..."

Linghe knelt down and kowtowed deeply to Wu Weiwei.

"Girl, please forgive me! Linghe was momentarily bewitched."

I promise I'll change, I'll never do it again, please forgive me!

Linghe cried and begged for mercy, not caring that her head was scraped and bloodied.

All she knew was that if she couldn't gain the girl's forgiveness, then she was finished.

Wu Weiwei looked at her with deep, thoughtful eyes.

He said coldly, "Linghe, it's not that I didn't give you chances, but you didn't know how to cherish them."

To retaliate for the punishment I inflicted on you that day, you actually conspired with outsiders to betray me.

If I hadn't managed to save myself, my fate would probably have been no better than Chen Qing's. I will never forgive someone who tried to kill me.

Linghe was startled: "Miss, please, please, give me another chance, I'll never dare to do it again..."

Wu Weiwei waved to Ling Fu, "Hand her over to the Crown Prince!"

Hearing her say that, Linghe knew that the young lady would not let her off the hook.

It's better to be beaten to death than...

It's too late, but it's soon.

Linghe crashed straight into the pillar.

"Linghe, no!"

Wanqiu watched helplessly as she crashed into the pillar, but there was no time to stop her.

“Girl, Linghe will never betray you again in our next life…”

After saying this, Linghe stopped breathing.

Wu Weiwei looked at Linghe lying in a pool of blood, squatted down and gently closed her eyes.

She sighed and said, "Give her a proper burial!"

Linghe certainly has backbone, but she used it in the wrong direction.

If someone betrays you once, they'll betray you a second time. How could she possibly still believe in Linghe's loyalty to her?

Although Wu Weiwei's status has changed and she has become the prince's concubine, Biyun Court has been shrouded in a faint atmosphere of sorrow for the past two days because of Linghe's death.

Tomorrow is the Spring Banquet.

After dinner, Liuyun came over.

"Aunt Wu, the young master requests your presence tonight."

"it is good."

Because of Linghe's death, the Crown Prince must have known that she was in a bad mood, so he did not let her go to serve him these past two days.

The past is the past, and she still needs to move towards her goal.

Wu Weiwei arrived at Qingsong Courtyard.

Tonight was the first time she hadn't seen the Crown Prince working.

"Can you play chess?"

The prince said calmly.

"know a bit."

"Come here and play a game of chess with me."

The prince was not curious as to why a peasant girl would know how to play chess; he neither asked nor she explained.

"it is good."

Wu Weiwei walked over and sat on the futon.

She played the white pieces, while the crown prince played the black pieces.

The prince let her go first.

Wu Weiwei casually placed the white piece onto the board. Seeing her do this, the prince looked up and smiled at her, then steadily placed the black piece on the board.

She took another piece and casually placed it in, with the crown prince following closely behind.

Wu Weiwei, holding the white pieces, played with agility and grace, her moves seemingly random yet subtly revealing hidden strategies.

Lu Hanting held the black piece, making steady moves with an air of composure, as if he could remain unmoved even if Mount Tai collapsed before him.

She was unconventional, sometimes attacking and sometimes defending, sometimes launching surprise attacks to strike directly at the heart of the enemy, and sometimes taking a roundabout and subtle approach to overcome strength with gentleness.

Every step he took was carefully considered, like a general on the battlefield, commanding with composure.

The beauty of the White Pawn lies in its unconventional approach and its tendency to make unexpected moves.

The black pieces, on the other hand, are meticulously positioned, occupying corners and guarding the edges, gradually expanding their sphere of influence, like a lion going into battle, advancing step by step.

Just like his character.

Both sides come and go, refusing to give in to each other.

Half an hour later, the black pieces launched a strong attack, while the white pieces skillfully defended.

Black pieces block, white pieces break through.

On the chessboard, the air was thick with tension, and the atmosphere was so tense that it took everyone's breath to catch their breath.

Just then, Ru Feng walked in and broke the deadlock.

"Your Highness, Qingwen, who serves the Lady of the Marquis, says she has something important to report."
