The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

"Princess! Princess!" At this moment, Jingrou's maid knelt beside her, tears streaming down her face. It wasn't because she was particularly loyal, but because if Jingrou didn't wake up, she was afraid she wouldn't be able to save her own life.

At this moment, Jing Rou had fainted on the bed due to an allergic reaction. Not only that, but her whole body was covered with red rashes, which was quite frightening.

"Imperial Physician, how is Princess Rou?" The question had barely left his lips when Kou Shuran's voice rang out, "How is Sister Rou?"

Kou Shuran had just returned from the restroom when she heard that Jing Rou had an accident, so she rushed in. As soon as she entered, she saw Jing Anle. She was stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed to Jing Anle, "Greetings, Princess!"

"Get up," Jing Anle said calmly, glancing at Kou Shuran before asking the imperial physician, "When will you wake up?"

The imperial physician glanced at Jing Rou, who was lying unconscious on the bed, and replied, "I have already given the princess the medicine. Although the princess has a special constitution, she will wake up soon, but..."

Kou Shuran, who was standing next to her, couldn't hold back any longer and hurriedly asked, "But what?"

"It will probably take some time for the rash on my body to go away."

"Red rash?" Jing Rou had only glanced at the rash from afar through the light gauze curtain when she came in, and hadn't noticed anything. Now, hearing the imperial physician say this, she quickly went forward to pull back the bed curtain. Sure enough, Jing Rou's face, neck, and hands were covered with a dense rash, which was quite frightening.

Kou Shuran, a young lady from a wealthy family, had never seen such a scene before. She was so frightened that her mouth dropped open, and she quickly lowered the curtain, not daring to look any longer.

Jing Anle witnessed this scene and couldn't help but sneer inwardly. This was exactly the result she wanted. Jing Rou valued her appearance the most, so before ending her life, she would let Jing Rou taste the bitterness of losing something precious.

"Pan'er." Jing Anle beckoned to Jing Rou's maid, signaling her to come over.

Hearing Jing Anle call her name, Pan'er didn't dare to get up. She crawled over on her knees, her voice choked with sobs, "Princess!" As soon as she spoke, tears immediately fell again. If Jing Anle hadn't known this maid's character, she probably would have really thought she was a loyal servant.

"Stop crying. I'm asking you, what did you mean when you said in the side hall that Princess Rou had an allergic reaction?" Jing Anle asked in a serious tone.

Pan'er immediately stopped crying, wiped away her tears, and said, "When the princess was young, she ate peanuts and immediately started coughing, itching, and getting rashes, eventually falling into a coma, just like now."

"So you mean the princess ate peanuts by mistake, which is why she's like this?" Kou Shuran couldn't help but ask.

“That’s exactly right!” Pan’er affirmed.

Kou Shuran looked around and asked in confusion, "You said it would take effect in an instant, but there are no peanuts around. Could it be that we ran into something?"

Jing Anle thought to herself: You've finally asked this question.

Pan'er shook her head and said, "Since then, I have been extra careful about my diet and daily life, and I would never..." Before she could finish speaking, Pan'er seemed to suddenly remember something and said, "I remember now, before the princess had her attack, she ate a piece of walnut pastry!"

"Walnut shortbread? You mean the walnut shortbread that the Imperial Concubine gave you?" Jing Anle asked, emphasizing her words.

Pan'er was initially delighted, then frightened. She dared not say that Consort Yu had harmed Jing Rou, but if she did not find a reason, she feared she would be in danger. So she decided to take a gamble and affirmed, "That is exactly right."

“But that’s walnut shortbread, not peanut shortbread!” Kou Shuran said.

"Whether it's peanuts or not, we'll know once we test it!" A voice rang out from behind everyone. Turning around, they saw that the person was Jing Fengyao. From an ethical standpoint, he was Jing Rou's older brother, and since they were separated by the bed curtains, it wouldn't affect Jing Rou's reputation.

"Greetings, Your Highness." Everyone bowed in greeting.

"Get up, everyone!" Jing Fengyao told everyone to stand up, but his eyes were on Jing Anle.

"Brother, you've arrived," Jing Anle said.

Jing Fengyao nodded. He had just returned to the classroom when he heard about Jing Rou's situation, so he came in immediately. After all, Jing Rou was a member of the royal family, and if something really happened to her, it would be a big deal.

Seeing Jing Fengyao's worried expression, Jing Anle said, "Rest assured, Your Majesty, the princess is out of danger."

"That's good. Someone, bring in all the walnut pastries from outside!" Jing Fengyao said.

Upon receiving the order, the palace servants immediately went out and soon brought in all the walnut pastries, with the dish that Jingrou was eating placed at the front.

"The imperial physician?"

"Your subject is here." The imperial physician quickly went to Jing Fengyao's side to await instructions.

"Come and take a look, see if there are any peanuts in these snacks?"

"Yes."

Everyone was very curious and stared intently at the imperial physician's actions. The physician took a piece from the walnut pastry that Jingrou was eating, broke it in half, then gently crushed the crumbs with his fingers, smelled them carefully, and finally tasted them.

"How is it?" Jing Fengyao asked.

The imperial physician pursed his lips and said, "Your Highness, there is indeed a small amount of peanuts in this. It would not be detected without careful examination."

Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked, after all, it was sent by the Imperial Concubine. Only Pan'er, who was kneeling on the ground, seemed to see a glimmer of hope after hearing it.

Kou Shuran thought for a moment and said, "Could it be that the Imperial Concubine was unaware that the Princess was allergic to peanuts, and that's why?"

Jing Fengyao pondered for a moment and said, "Imperial Physician, please examine the others as well."

So the imperial physician examined the dish again in the same manner and said, "This dish contains no peanuts."

At this moment, everyone had a pretty good idea of ​​what was going on. It was probably the Imperial Concubine's doing. After all, Yu Yuanxiang had plagiarized Jing Rou's poem at the last poetry gathering. Could it be a deliberate act of revenge?

Jing Fengyao continued, "Check all the others as well."

"Yes." After saying that, the imperial physician lowered his head and continued the examination.

After a while, the imperial physician spoke up: "Apart from the first dish, there were no peanuts in the others."

The imperial physician's words immediately confirmed that it was the Consort's responsibility. Jing Fengyao waved his hand, signaling the imperial physician to leave.

At this moment, only Jing Anle, Kou Shuran, Jing Fengyao, Jing Rou who was lying down, and the maids remained in the room.

Even the naive Kou Shuran knew it was time to leave, and said, "Then Shuran will take her leave."

Jing Fengyao nodded but did not speak.

"What does Your Majesty intend to do?" Jing Anle looked at the unconscious Jing Rou and turned to ask Jing Fengyao.

"What does Anle think we should do?" Jing Fengyao asked in return.

Pan'er, standing beside her, kept her head down, listening intently, afraid of being implicated.

“This matter is of great importance. Anle believes it is best to report to the Emperor and let him handle it,” Jing Anle replied.

Jing Fengyao turned to look at Jing Anle and said, "That's what I thought. Then I'll go and report to Father Emperor right away."
