The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Yongfu Palace.

Jing Anle removed her hairpins and shook her aching neck. The princess's attire for the banquet was more magnificent than usual, and naturally, more so.

"Princess, let me massage your shoulders," Afang said, putting down the gold hairpin in her hand.

Afang's touch was just right, causing Jing Anle to involuntarily close her eyes and enjoy it.

“Princess Rou really stole the show today,” Afang muttered as she pinched her.

Jing Anle smiled and said, "Sometimes being in the limelight isn't necessarily a good thing."

Qi Zhi is a madman. He and Empress Qi have almost taken control of the court. Otherwise, why would Prince Qi want Murong Peifeng to return, and drag the innocent Jing Kingdom into it? Now that he has his eye on Jing Rou, there will probably be a big drama in the future.

"Hmm?" Afang asked in confusion, then smiled, because she knew that her princess must have something in mind.

"Alright, go to sleep now. You have to get up early for class tomorrow!"

"Yes, Princess." Afang helped Jing Anle to the bed and then withdrew.

Jing Anle had just lain down when a gust of wind suddenly rattled the windows. At first, she thought it was just the wind, but the next second all the lights went out, and she knew that Xiao Heng had arrived.

"Come out!" Jing Anle said.

In an instant, a figure flew in and sat on the same stool. Jing Anle thought to herself that she would definitely dismantle that stool tomorrow.

Xiao Heng was extremely anxious, but he didn't know how to speak to Jing Anle for a moment. He hated himself for being so weak. He should have been angry for a while because he had complained that Jing Anle had given tea to other men, but when he heard that she was in danger, he was more worried than anyone else.

"Crown Prince Xiao is as dashing as ever!" Jing Anle couldn't help but exclaim when she saw Xiao Heng enter without saying a word. She wasn't saying that Xiao Heng was handsome and dashing, but rather teasing him for still being so skilled at climbing through windows.

Jing Anle thought that her attitude had been very clear after the last incident, so why was Xiao Heng still...?

"Jing Anle!"

"Huh?" Xiao Heng suddenly spoke, interrupting her thoughts. This was the first time he had called Jing Anle by her full name. Jing Anle was stunned for a moment, looked over, and waited for him to continue.

"Listen, I don't have time to joke with you right now." Xiao Heng turned around and looked at Jing Anle seriously. In the moonlight, only the two figures staring at each other could be seen.

Jing Anle had a hunch that something important must have happened, otherwise Xiao Heng wouldn't be behaving so strangely.

"What do you want to say?" she asked, turning her head, her tone less sharp.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Heng's tone softened again, "Listen to me, Princess Rou will send medicine to Consort Li tomorrow to frame you!"

"She hired a disguiser to impersonate your maid. You're in danger!"

This news made Jing Anle's pupils constrict. Consort Li? This Jing Rou is so ruthless, she didn't hesitate to harm the imperial heir just to frame her. Humph! Indeed, it's something she's capable of doing.

"How did you find out?"

"At a time like this, you're still worrying about these things. You need to think of a solution!" Xiao Heng stood up anxiously, his voice even a few decibels louder.

Although Jing Anle knew that Xiao Heng had feelings for her, she couldn't help but be moved when she saw Xiao Heng's anxious look. "Thank you for telling me all this."

Xiao Heng thought Jing Anle wouldn't believe him, but he didn't expect her to say that. His tone suddenly softened, "Anyway, you have to be careful. Don't you suspect I'm lying to you?"

"No." Jing Anle shook her head. Even though it was night, Xiao Heng could still see clearly, and his heart felt a little more at ease.

She wasn't surprised at all by Jing Rou's actions; what surprised her was Xiao Heng telling her about it.

"In short, be careful. If you need anything from me, just let me know," he continued.

Jing Anle looked towards Xiao Heng. Although she couldn't see his expression clearly, she could imagine that he was serious. She wanted to refuse, but for some reason, she wanted to agree. Before she could speak, she heard Xiao Heng say, "Don't refuse me, okay?"

His voice was soft, almost pleading.

Why? Why are you so good to me? Jing Anle wondered to herself, but ultimately said nothing.

"it is good!"

"So what do you plan to do?"

Jing Anle raised his head and looked at Xiao Heng, saying each word clearly: "Like catching a turtle in a jar!"

The next day.

Before leaving, Jing Anle glanced at Afang, who nodded knowingly.

After discussing the countermeasures with Xiao Heng yesterday, she immediately told Afang about the plan. Although Afang was afraid, she trusted Jing Anle unconditionally and was willing to do these things because she knew it was Jing Anle's plan.

"Afang, are you afraid?"

"I'm afraid, but for the princess, I'm willing."

"Okay, don't worry, someone will protect you secretly."

……

Jiying Palace.

Today is Qi Zhi's first day of class. He had someone add a table early on and set it up in the first row, so there are four people in the first row of the men's section.

When Jing Anle arrived, Jing Rou and Kou Shuran were already seated. They said in unison, "Greetings, Princess Anle."

Now that the two of them both consider Jing Anle an enemy, they are particularly close to each other.

Jing Rou smiled politely on the surface, but in her heart she was thinking: "Hmph, I'll teach you a lesson tonight." Thinking this, her smile became even brighter.

"No need for formalities," Jing Anle said, then sat down and began to read.

Kou Shuran was furious at Jing Anle's aloof demeanor. How could Xiao Heng possibly like someone so self-important and unapproachable? In an instant, her dislike for Jing Anle turned into hatred.

Meanwhile, the men's section on the other side, because Qi Zhi was new, started discussing things enthusiastically. But how much of it was genuine and how much was feigned, who could tell?

"Prince Qi, if there is anything you don't understand, please speak freely." The speaker was Jing Fengyao, who, as the host, should be polite.

Qi Zhi smiled and said, "In that case, I won't refuse."

Yelü Yuanxiu, who was standing nearby, couldn't stand such formalities and exclaimed, "Complex!"

No one present spoke after hearing this, as everyone knew Yelü Yuanxiu's personality and ignored him. Only Qi Zhi smiled calmly on the surface, but in his heart he made a deep grudge against him.

“Since you are older than us, let’s switch with Brother Qi!” Luo Wei said, his voice unusually loud today. This was mainly because he had spent a lot of time with Kou Shuran last night, and Kou Shuran had even come to class today. He was trying to get Kou Shuran’s attention.

But when Kou Shuran heard his voice, an impatient look appeared on her face. Why is Luo Wei everywhere? Can't he just listen to the lecture in peace?

Upon hearing this, Qi Zhi was naturally delighted. Being addressed as elder brother by princes and crown princes from various countries was a great honor. Besides Qi Zhi, the oldest among them was Yelü Yuanxiu. Just as he was about to speak, Yelü Yuanxiu interrupted him.

"I'm afraid this isn't appropriate!"

No one noticed that a look of anger had crept into Qi Zhi's eyes.
