The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Jing Rou then slid weakly to the ground, her earlier shock instantly turning into waves of hatred. Who was it? Who on earth was it?

At that moment, thunder roared and the wind rustled against the doors and windows. Jing Rou climbed directly onto the bed, her eyes fixed on the venomous snake. Jing Anle! It must be Jing Anle. Who else would do such a thing?

She gripped the blanket tightly, her eyes filled with hatred, and gritted her teeth as she said, "You bitch!"

……

Yongfu Palace.

"Princess! How do you think His Majesty will deal with the princess?"

What to do? Seeing Emperor Jing's attitude today, Jing Anle immediately understood his concerns. On the one hand, he wanted to protect himself, but on the other hand, he was worried about Prince Qing's power. Now it seems that revenge is not easy!

"It might be a bit difficult!"

"Wouldn't that be a good thing for the princess? She's done so many bad things." Thinking of this, Afang became somewhat indignant.

Jing Anle gently patted Afang's head and said, "Don't worry! There's no need for Father to take action. Some people won't stand idly by either."

"The princess means... Consort Li."

Jing Anle nodded in satisfaction, "Not too stupid."

……

Prince Qing's Mansion.

At this moment, Prince Qing had already learned of what had happened that morning and was furious.

"How dare Your Majesty imprison my people!"

Princess Qing knew that this was all because of the plan she had prepared, and she felt a little guilty. "Right now, the most important thing is to rescue Rou'er."

"Don't worry, my dear consort. Murong Peifeng came to tell me today that he has come up with a solution."

As they were talking, Princess Qing suddenly felt dizzy and almost lost her balance. Prince Qing quickly stepped forward to support her, "Shu'er, what's wrong with you?"

Princess Qing struggled to suppress the nausea rising in her throat, her voice weak, "I'm fine."

"Someone come here! Summon the imperial physician!" Prince Qing shouted.

Princess Consort Qing leaned on Prince Qing's shoulder and said, "Your Highness, I'm really fine. The most important thing right now is Rou'er..."

"Nonsense... Rou'er is important, so you are naturally important too." As he spoke, Prince Qing picked up Princess Qing and carried her into the inner room.

Prince Qing, his face full of impatience, looked at the imperial physician and asked, "How is it?"

The royal physician withdrew his hand from taking the pulse, a smile appearing on his face, and respectfully said, "Congratulations, Your Highness, the Princess is pregnant!"

"what!"

Prince Qing and Princess Qing were immediately taken aback, especially Prince Qing, who was overjoyed. "Is this really true?"

"This servant dares not lie. The princess is already two months pregnant, and her pulse is strong, so it is likely a boy!" the physician said truthfully.

"Good, good, good! Shu'er, did you hear that? We're going to have a son!"

Princess Qing's eyes were also filled with tears. Since giving birth to Jingrou, she had not been able to conceive again no matter what treatment she tried. She nodded heavily, "Yes!"

The next day.

The heavy rain of the night had stopped, and the morning breeze carried the damp scent of earth. The rising sun broke through the sky, indicating that today would be a fine day.

The sound of the door being unlocked startled Jing Rou awake. She slowly opened her eyes and realized it was the same bed from yesterday. Because of her improper posture, she was now sore all over.

"Ahhhh!"

The palace servants who entered the room saw a bloody, mangled snake and Pan'er lying on the ground.

Jingrou looked at the palace maid and then remembered Pan'er. She got off the bed and saw that Pan'er's lips were black and her face was pale.

"You...you go check!" It was Jing Rou who spoke, pushing the palace servant as she spoke.

Although the palace maid was terrified, she dared not disobey Jingrou's orders and trembled as she checked Pan'er's breathing.

"Ahhh! Princess... Princess, she's... she's not breathing anymore." The palace servant was so frightened that she sat down on the ground.

Dead? Jing Rou was also shocked. She knew in her heart that if it weren't for Pan'er, she would be the one who died today.

"I want to see His Majesty!" Jing Rou exclaimed.

Although Emperor Jing ordered his confinement, the situation is naturally different now that someone has died.

main hall.

Emperor Jing has been very busy with state affairs lately, and he went to court as soon as it was light. Naturally, he was too busy to come now, so the person who came was Consort Li.

"Princess? There was a lot of wind and rain last night. I wonder if you rested well?"

As soon as Consort Li entered, she saw Jing Rou standing in the hall. Her clothes were the same as yesterday's, and upon closer inspection, she noticed that they were stained. Her hair was fine, as if it had been freshly washed, but her complexion did not look good.

She's actually alright? Consort Li sneered inwardly, "As expected, evil people live a long life!"

Jing Rou turned around upon hearing the voice and saw that it was Consort Li. Her eyes turned icy. Being women, Consort Li naturally understood Jing Rou's attitude towards her, but to her surprise, the next second, Jing Rou knelt on the ground with a thud, weeping bitterly, "Your Majesty, please do justice for me!"

This caught Consort Li off guard, rendering her preparations useless. She could only put on a fake smile. "What is the princess doing? Please get up and speak." Qingyu, who was standing nearby, helped Jingrou up. "Princess, please get up."

Jing Rou wiped away her tears and choked out, "Thank you, Your Majesty."

So Jingrou and Consort Li sat down and started talking.

"Where is Pan'er? Instead of serving her mistress properly, where has she gone?" Consort Li asked, looking around.

Hearing this, Jingrou cried even harder, sobbing, "Pan'er... she's dead."

"What's going on!" Consort Li exclaimed in surprise.

Jingrou's crying now was not faked. Last night, when no one was around, she had to force herself to survive. Now that she had relaxed, she felt very scared. After all, she was just a fourteen or fifteen-year-old girl.

"Last night, I don't know who was looking for revenge, but they actually put a poisonous snake in the room. Pan'er... she was loyal to her master and risked her life to save him!" At this point, Jingrou couldn't stop sobbing again.

Consort Li was annoyed, thinking to herself, "Why didn't this venomous snake bite you to death?" But she still pretended to comfort her, saying, "I guess it's because the night was damp from the rain and the palace servants were usually careless. That's why there was a snake. Don't worry, Princess. I will definitely reprimand them severely. Princess, you don't need to worry. Fortunately, you are alright. That would be the best outcome!"

Hmph! Consort Li would never agree with her. If she really said it was some kind of deliberate revenge, she would be in trouble if the investigation found out about her.

“Your Majesty, I have been coming and going in the palace for many years and have never heard of snakes in the inner palace. You must know what happened yesterday. Who but the princess would do such a thing?” Jingrou wiped her tears with her handkerchief and continued.

So you know what happened yesterday? You harmed my child and now you want me to seek justice for you? You've got the wrong person. Consort Li hesitated and said, "You mean, Princess Anle?"

"Who else could it be but her? I beg Your Majesty to do justice for me and seek justice for Pan'er!"

Consort Li sighed and said, "Everything requires evidence. Since you say that Princess Anle harmed you, do you have any proof?"

"I……"

Seeing that Jing Rou could not produce any evidence, Consort Li said, "To be honest, a month ago, a poisonous snake was found in the haystack in the palace. Last night, the rain was heavy, and the snake was probably frightened and ran around, which is why it disturbed the princess."

“Yes, Princess, quite a few palace servants saw it,” Qingyu chimed in from the side.

Jing Rou snorted inwardly, thinking that Consort Li was timid and cowardly, but on the surface she looked pitiful and said, "Your Majesty, please don't be offended. I was really frightened and my words are a little confused."

Consort Li! Just you wait, one day I'll make you pay!
