The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Jing Anle knew that she didn't need to intervene at all; things would develop in the direction she hoped for. Jing Rou, however, was unaware that Qi Zhi had already set his sights on her, and was still smugly basking in his praise.

After the banquet ended, night had fallen, and the officials who had attended the banquet gradually left the Hall of Union.

As soon as Xiao Heng stepped out, he saw Jing Anle's back in front of him. He paused, not daring to go forward. In a short while, he disappeared into the night, leaving only the bright yellow lanterns, getting smaller and smaller, and farther and farther away.

Every time Xiao Heng saw Jing Anle, he couldn't help but feel his heart flutter, but he still tried his best to act nonchalant. After thinking for a moment, he slowly followed behind her.

"Crown Prince Xiao?" A clear voice rang out from behind.

With a sense of doubt, Xiao Heng turned around and saw a beautiful woman smiling gently at him.

"Princess Shuran." Xiao Heng gave a slight bow.

When Kou Shuran saw Xiao Heng, whose face was still so handsome under the moonlight, she couldn't help but feel shy. She just wanted to talk to him, but when she was actually facing Xiao Heng, she didn't know what to say.

"I……,",

"Is Crown Prince Xiao getting used to life in the palace?" Kou Shuran asked after holding back for a long time.

Having grown up in the palace, Xiao Heng had seen all kinds of women and immediately understood Kou Shuran's meaning. "His Majesty is benevolent, providing for all our needs in terms of clothing, food, housing, and transportation. Thank you for your concern, Princess."

Seeing that Xiao Heng had said so much to her, Kou Shuran felt even more shy, and her cheeks turned bright red. Just as she was about to say something more, she heard Xiao Heng say, "If the county princess has nothing else to say, then I will take my leave first."

After saying that, Xiao Heng was about to turn around when Kou Shuran, seeing that Xiao Heng was about to leave, quickly came up with a plan and pretended to twist her ankle, "Ouch!"

She was about to pounce on Xiao Heng when he reacted quickly, taking a step back and showing disgust in his eyes. Seeing this, Kou Shuran could only awkwardly lean back.

"Princess, are you alright?" The maid Tingxiang quickly helped Kou Shuran up.

Xiao Heng's expression hardened. "Princess, in this situation, I'm afraid the only option is to summon the imperial physician." He spoke these words in a cold tone, tinged with sarcasm.

Unfortunately, Kou Shuran didn't realize that Xiao Heng was concerned about her.

"Oh dear!" Kou Shuran exclaimed again, looking at Xiao Heng shyly, and said reproachfully, "Shuran won't trouble Crown Prince Xiao, will she?"

Just then, Luo Wei spotted Kou Shuran's figure in the distance, his face lit up with joy, and he quickly walked over.

"Princess!" Luo Wei exclaimed, only then noticing Xiao Heng beside him, "My brother is here too?"

Xiao Heng, who was worried about not being able to get away, said, "The county princess has injured her foot. I was just about to send someone to summon the imperial physician."

"You're injured, Princess, are you alright?" Luo Wei asked anxiously, about to check on Kou Shuran's injuries, but then realized he had overstepped his bounds. He cleared his throat and said, "What I mean is, summon the imperial physician as soon as possible, don't delay."

Kou Shuran was extremely embarrassed. She had originally wanted to be alone with Xiao Heng, but unexpectedly, this unexpected man appeared. She couldn't just dismiss him, so she could only say in a low voice, "Thank you for your concern, Your Highnesses. I only have a minor injury and dare not take up your time."

“No delay, no delay,” Lowe quickly replied.

Xiao Heng slapped his forehead, "Oh dear, Brother Luo, you've come at the perfect time! I forgot my things in the Hall of Union and Harmony. I'll go get them first. I'll trouble you, Princess, Brother Luo!"

Without waiting for Kou Shuran and Luo Wei's reply, he hurried back.

Kou Shuran looked at Luo Wei, who was grinning foolishly, and was furious, but she still said on the surface, "It's alright. If Crown Prince Luo has something to do, he can go ahead first."

Although she had a maidservant with her and Luo Wei had a servant with him, it was still late at night, and if word got out that a lone man and woman were out, she would be the one who suffered.

Luo Wei had always been interested in Kou Shuran, and felt that this was a match made in heaven. How could he give it up? He said, "It's just a small matter, nothing to mention."

"Go and ask the doctor quickly!"

"Yes." Lowe's attendant received the order and hurried away.

Kou Shuran couldn't say anything, otherwise, if it were discovered that she was faking it, her image would be ruined.

Meanwhile, Xiao Heng thought that since he was already here, he might as well take two bottles of good wine back with him.

"You go back first!" Xiao Heng said to his attendant.

"Yes."

……

Consort Li's frugal measures were very effective last time, so after the banquet, all the lanterns in Jiaotai Hall were removed, and the bright moonlight shone through the windows, making it possible to see the general outline.

Xiao Heng was very good at light footwork, so the locked door was no match for him. As he approached the inner hall, he saw the fine wine on the shelf by the moonlight. He smiled and was about to take a step forward when he heard the door being pushed open. He quickly leaped up and jumped onto the beam.

Who could it be so late at night? He couldn't help but wonder.

Xiao Heng saw two figures quietly enter, close the door, and begin to speak.

The fact that a palace maid had a secret rendezvous with someone was nothing new to Xiao Heng, who wasn't interested in it. He looked around, preparing to leave when the opportunity arose.

"I miss you so much!"

Because they weren't far apart, Xiao Heng could hear it clearly. That voice? The banquet had just ended, and he immediately recognized it as Jing Rou's voice. She was just in the main hall a moment ago, and now she's having a secret rendezvous!

"This Jing Kingdom is truly full of secrets," Xiao Heng scoffed inwardly. He shook his head, after all, it had nothing to do with him. He had just noticed a skylight on the roof of another house and was about to leave when the conversation below made him stop in his tracks.

"Tomorrow, Jing Anle will have no chance to escape!"

Jing Anle? Xiao Heng was particularly sensitive to these three words, especially since Jing Anle was in danger. He even held his breath at this moment.

"Brother Pei Feng, are you ready? We absolutely cannot afford any mistakes now," Jing Rou asked in a soft voice.

Looking at the beauty before him, Murong Peifeng felt he would gladly give his life for her. Thinking of tomorrow's plan, his tone turned ruthless, "Don't worry, I've found the best disguise master. Tomorrow, all you need to do is lock up Jing Anle's personal maid!"

Seeing Murong Peifeng's confident demeanor, Jing Rou's mood improved, and she said, "Brother Peifeng, don't worry. As long as Consort Li drinks that bowl of medicine, Jing Anle won't be able to explain herself even if she has a hundred mouths."

Xiao Heng was taken aback. He narrowed his eyes. Disguise? Consort Li? Everyone in the palace knew that Consort Li was pregnant. They were trying to frame Jing Anle and murder the imperial heir!

No, he had to tell Jing Anle about this. But besides Jing Rou, who was that man next to her? Unfortunately, he had his back to Xiao Heng the whole time, so he couldn't see his face.

"As long as it makes Rou'er feel better, anything is worth it." Murong Peifeng looked at Jing Rou with deep affection.

"Brother Pei Feng!"

When their conversation became emotional, the two couldn't help but embrace.
