The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Yongfu Palace

Once back in the palace, the three of them, master and servant, began to discuss serious matters. Mu Ping recounted in detail what she had seen in the woods outside the city to Jing Anle.

“Princess, Abi was ultimately killed by Murong Peifeng, and even her body was burned,” Mu Ping said.

Afang listened in terrified silence. She couldn't believe that Murong Peifeng's methods were so ruthless, and that Princess Rou was also so vicious. She couldn't help but glance at Jing Anle, relieved that her princess was unharmed.

Upon hearing Mu Ping's words, Jing Anle bit her teeth in anger. It wasn't because she felt sorry for Abi, but because she was disgusted and resentful that this pair of wolves and tigers still used despicable methods in both their past and present lives.

Thinking of this, the experiences of being bullied in her past life flooded back to her mind. Jing Anle clenched her fists tightly in anger and secretly vowed: she would definitely grind those two scoundrels to dust!

Jing Anle said fiercely, "Abi's death is not a pity, but in this way there will be no evidence to prove Murong Peifeng's crime."

Neither Mu Ping nor A Fang had ever seen Jing Anle so angry before; he was shrouded in a kind of fury that was frightening.

Afang called softly, "Princess?"

Jing Anle then realized what was happening and pulled herself out of her emotions.

"Princess, Mu Ping has a question to ask." Mu Ping asked.

Jing Anle gestured for her to continue.

"When I followed Abi to the outskirts, Murong Peifeng was also nearby. After those people raped Abi, Murong Peifeng went out and killed them all. I don't understand, if the person in the carriage was a princess, was Murong Peifeng trying to save her or kill her, and what was his purpose?"

After Mu Ping finished speaking, A Fang was already confused and asked, "Yes, Princess, why is that?"

What else could it be but to use the same old trick to ruin Jing Anle's reputation, so that Murong Peifeng could then play the hero and save the beauty. What a vicious scheme!

Jing Anle thought to himself that Afang and Muping were undoubtedly loyal, but their planning was somewhat lacking.

However, Jing Anle could not tell them the real reason at this time. She said, "Murong Peifeng is insidious and vicious. He wanted to find someone to ruin my reputation. He appeared at the opportunity to pretend to save me and then control me. After discovering that the person in the car was not me, he killed me to silence me."

"But what does he want the princess to do?" Mu Ping finally asked the question, showing that she wasn't completely naive.

Just then, someone outside the door shouted, "Princess, Miss Yuanxiang has arrived!"

It turned out to be Yu Yuanxiang, the niece of Consort Yu. The three of them fell silent. Jing Anle said, "Let her in." Then he gave Afang a wink and opened the door to the inner room.

When Yu Yuanxiang entered, she saw a beautiful young woman in a purple robe, with an extraordinary air about her, reclining on a chaise longue, with two maids standing beside her.

She knew that the person in front of her was Princess Anle. Her aunt had told her beforehand that if she wanted to marry into the royal family, she had to win Jing Anle's favor.

Yu Yuanxiang's father held the official position of Minister of Personnel, which was not particularly high in rank. If it weren't for Consort Yu, she wouldn't have had the opportunity to enter the palace. Thinking that she could become a powerful prince's consort in the future, she became even more attentive to Jing Anle.

"Your subject, Yu Yuanxiang, greets Your Highness the Princess." Her maid also knelt down to pay her respects.

Jing Anle raised her eyes slightly. Yu Yuanxiang was about the same age as she remembered, only about fifteen or sixteen years old. She was dressed in green clothes, with a sapphire blue and jade hairpin, and her smile was captivating.

"Get up," Jing Anle said leisurely, her expression unreadable.

Consort Yu once said that Princess Anle's personality changed drastically after she woke up from the water, and that one should simply go along with her in everything.

"Thank you princess!"

Yu Yuanxiang thanked him, but she didn't dare to start a conversation and just waited for Jing Anle to ask her.

"I heard you're an excellent shuttlecock player?"

"I have loved playing shuttlecock with my sisters since I was a child, so I am somewhat skilled at it," Yu Yuanxiang replied respectfully with her head bowed.

Looking at her face, which was somewhat similar to that of Consort Yu, Jing Anle felt disgusted. Both of these aunt and niece were the charming type, and the thought of how she had harmed her brother in her previous life made her even more disgusted.

"Since that's the case, then go outside and kick it for me to see!"

Yu Yuanxiang was naturally happy to agree, but when she came in, the sun was still blazing outside, and she couldn't help but ask, "Now?"

Mu Ping understood her meaning and loudly questioned, "Does the princess need to repeat herself?"

Yu Yuanxiang was startled and quickly said, "This humble woman dares not."

At this moment, Jing Anle sat in the shade watching Yu Yuanxiang play shuttlecock, while Afang fanned her from the side.

Yu Yuanxiang's clothes were gorgeous, with an extremely long skirt. Moreover, the sun was scorching, and she was having a hard time kicking the shuttlecock, so she quickly broke out in a sweat.

"Mu Ping, help Yuan Xiang count," Jing Anle said while sipping her cool tea.

"Yes!"

Yu Yuanxiang felt exhausted; her inner garment was soaked with sweat, but she dared not utter a sound, afraid of offending Jing Anle. The maid she had brought watched anxiously from the side, but there was nothing she could do.

"Ninety-nine, one hundred..." Mu Ping was counting when Yu Yuanxiang suddenly felt a blur before her eyes and collapsed.

Her maid rushed over and cried out anxiously, "Miss, Miss! Don't scare me!"

Then the maid turned to Jing Anle and pleaded, "Princess, please save my young lady." She cried as she spoke.

Jing Anle stepped forward to check on Yu Yuanxiang, who had indeed fainted. He then said to Afang, "Summon the imperial physician!"

After Yu Yuanxiang was carried to the side room, the imperial physician arrived shortly afterward.

"Your humble servant greets Your Highness!" The visitor was none other than Physician Liu from the Imperial Medical Academy.

"No need for formalities. Please take a look at how this young lady is doing," Jing Anle said calmly.

Seeing that the young girl on the bed was pale, had a cold sweat on her forehead, and had a rapid pulse, Physician Liu asked, "May I ask, Your Highness, has this young lady been standing in the sun for too long?"

"Doctor Liu is right, that's exactly it."

After listening to this, Physician Liu took a small bottle from his medicine box, opened it, and placed it next to Yu Yuanxiang's nose. Yu Yuanxiang's eyes moved slightly, as if she was about to wake up.

"That must be due to heatstroke caused by the hot weather. Just rest well and drink a bowl of mung bean soup." As soon as Doctor Liu finished speaking, Yu Yuanxiang woke up.

Seeing that Yu Yuanxiang had woken up, Physician Liu tactfully stepped back and said, "This humble servant will go and write the prescription first."

Jing Anle nodded slightly, then sat down beside Yu Yuanxiang's bed and said, "Tell me, why are you forcing yourself when you're not feeling well?"

With a single sentence, the problem was shifted to Yu Yuanxiang. Yu Yuanxiang dared not blame Jing Anle, so she could only go along with her and say, "It was Yuanxiang's oversight that spoiled the princess's enjoyment. It was Yuanxiang's fault."

"Then you should rest well," Jing Anle said before leaving.

Yu Yuanxiang gripped the quilt tightly, but then immediately let go. In the palace, only her aunt cared about her. She suddenly realized that the Crown Princess was not as simple as her aunt had said.
