The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

A small house in the suburbs of Beijing.

When Murong Peifeng arrived, Jingrou's maid was already waiting outside.

After being stung by wasps, it took him a full month to recover. Looking at himself in the mirror, Murong Peifeng hated Jing Anle even more when he thought about the humiliation he suffered that day.

Several months ago, he received a secret letter from the people of Qi Kingdom, who told him that he must obtain the city map of Jing Kingdom. After thinking it over, he realized that the simplest and most effective way was through Jing Anle.

After all, only after conquering Jing Kingdom would the throne of Qi Kingdom truly belong to Murong Peifeng.

"Rou'er," Murong Peifeng greeted her warmly as soon as he entered the room.

Hearing his voice, Jing Rou turned around with a joyful expression, "Brother Pei Feng!" Then the two hugged each other.

"It's all Rou'er's fault for being useless. I didn't expect what happened last time..." Jing Rou said to Murong Peifeng with a wronged expression. She was already lovable, and when she was wronged, she became even more pitiful and touching. Murong Peifeng felt his heart melt at the sight of her.

"How can you be blamed for what happened last time? It was all Jing Anle's doing!" Murong Peifeng said angrily.

Jing Rou was unaware of Jing Qing's plot to seize power, but she unintentionally saw the letters he exchanged with the State of Qi in his study.

Jing Qing had no sons, only five daughters. Jing Rou, being the legitimate daughter, was the one Jing Qing arranged to come in. She was intelligent, beautiful and talented from a young age. How could she be willing to be subordinate to Jing Anle?

The two were so affectionate that they snuggled together after only a few words.

"What has Jing Anle been up to lately?" Murong Peifeng asked, releasing Jing Rou.

Jing Rou thought carefully and replied, "Nothing else, just classes, everything else is normal."

After a while, Jing Rou suddenly remembered something and said, "Yesterday I asked Abi, and Jing Anle has been going to the General's Mansion a lot lately, and he even brought a maid back with him."

"The General's Mansion?" Upon hearing this, Murong Peifeng already had another plan in mind. "Please ask Rou'er to keep an eye on when Jing Anle will leave the palace. I already have a plan."

"Oh? What brilliant plan does Brother Pei Feng have?" Jing Rou was also curious when she saw that Murong Pei Feng had an idea so quickly.

Murong Peifeng smiled and said, "Rou'er, just wait for my good news."

Although Jing Rou had some doubts, she still smiled slightly, after all, she trusted Murong Peifeng.

Murong Peifeng and Jing Rou were unaware that Mu Ping, who was on the rooftop, had overheard their entire plot.

After Mu Ping entered the palace, Jing Anle instructed her to keep an eye on Jing Rou and Murong Peifeng's movements. Besides the General's Mansion behind her, Mu Ping also had some connections with the second-in-command of the intelligence organization Juwentang, and asked them to help keep an eye on Murong Peifeng, while she kept an eye on Jing Rou.

I finally received the news yesterday that they would be meeting here today, so I lay in ambush here early in the morning.

Yongfu Palace within the Imperial Palace.

Jing Anle had been listening to Chi Wenyuan's lectures for the past few days and found them quite reasonable. She begged Jing Fengyao to find her some military books about disasters, including not only droughts and floods, but also plagues. Jing Anle had her own thoughts on these books and wrote them down in a notebook.

Whenever she had free time, Jing Anle would sort out the relationships in the harem and the intricacies of the court. After all, in her previous life, she only knew that Prince Qing and Murong Peifeng were colluding, but she did not know who the inside agents were in the court.

Only Mu Ping, A Fang, and Jing Anle were in the inner room. Mu Ping told Jing Anle everything she had heard.

"Princess, Mu Ping suspects they plan to make their move when you leave the palace," Mu Ping analyzed. She felt that Jing Anle was in a whirlpool, that a princess like her was being plotted against.

Upon hearing Mu Ping's analysis, A Fang anxiously asked, "Princess, what should we do?"

This Murong Peifeng is so persistent and audacious, and such a matter cannot be made public because there is no evidence at all.

However, in the blink of an eye, Jing Anle had already come up with a plan. She turned to Afang and said, "Spread the word that I will be going to the General's Mansion in three days."

Afang hesitated and said, "Princess, isn't this just walking into a trap?"

Mu Ping, however, knew that Jing Anle had a plan, and asked, "Does the princess have a good idea?"

"Keep an eye on Abi for me, see what she's up to," Jing Anle said to Mu Ping. This Abi deserves to die; even as a lowly palace maid, she still causes trouble.

The next day, in the northwest corner of the Imperial Garden.

It was Abi who was whispering something to a palace maid who looked unfamiliar. Mu Ping saw from the shadows that the little palace maid secretly handed Abi a package. It seemed that Jing Rou was very vigilant and had not arranged for anyone close to her to do so.

After returning to the palace, Mu Ping told Jing Anle everything. Jing Anle played with the ring on her finger and said hatefully, "What a vicious scheme!"

Before they knew it, the day to leave the palace arrived.

Jing Anle changed into some light clothes and looked at the eight-treasure porridge in front of her, and immediately understood. Her Yongfu Palace had its own chefs and servants, but Abi had been hanging around there these past two days, probably to put things in her meals.

She instructed Afang to summon Abi. Jing Anle slowly stirred the eight-treasure porridge in the bowl. Abi lowered her head desperately, not daring to look at her, but her body trembled uncontrollably. Looking at Abi, she asked, "Abi, this bowl of eight-treasure porridge is a reward for you. Drink it quickly."

Abi was so frightened that she knelt on the ground, her voice trembling with tears, "Princess, this servant, this servant dares not..."

"Dare not? I think you're quite bold. Since you won't drink, Mu Ping!" Jing Anle shouted.

"The servant is here."

"Pry open her mouth and force it down her throat."

"Yes." After Mu Ping finished speaking, she actually went to pry open Abi's mouth. She had practiced martial arts since childhood, so dealing with a woman who was powerless was a piece of cake. Even though Abi resisted desperately, she still managed to force most of it in.

Jing Anle stared at Abi and asked lightly, "What's inside? Who gave it to you? If you tell me, I'll spare your life."

Abi lay on the ground, her hair disheveled, soup spilled from her mouth. She was just following orders. At first, Jingrou said that as long as she told her Jing Anle's whereabouts, she would leave and not suffer in Yongfu Palace. She was also given a packet of medicine, the contents of which she herself did not know.

So Abi propped herself up and kowtowed, saying, "Princess, this servant really doesn't know, really doesn't know!"

She was originally a servant in the Prince Qing's household. Because she was somewhat clever, Jing Rou sent her to Jing Anle's side as an inside agent. If she confesses today, her parents and brothers will go to hell tomorrow.

"He is loyal, that's all." Jing Anle said lazily. Abi thought she had misheard, and just as she raised her head, Mu Ping knocked her unconscious.

Upon seeing the unconscious Abi, Jing Anle instructed Afang to dress Abi in her own clothes and even put her own bracelet on Abi's wrist.

Murong Peifeng's men reported that they had personally witnessed Jing Anle, along with Afang and Muping, arriving at the palace gate in a sedan chair and boarding a carriage.

Murong Peifeng nodded in satisfaction, thinking to himself: The grooms and guards she arranged are already waiting outside the palace. All I need to do is replace the people on Jing Anle's side. Let's see how you escape this time.

Unbeknownst to them, Jing Anle disembarked from the carriage a mile from the palace gate, shoved Abi inside, and then they got into the same carriage that had brought Abi out, heading towards the General's Mansion.

Abi, who had fainted in the car, had no idea what had happened.
