The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Consort Rong swallowed hard; she could no longer hold on and her body went limp.

Chunmei then recounted the whole story in detail.

"Consort Rong, do you have anything to say this time?" Consort Li asked Consort Rong coldly.

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone started discussing it.

"It really was her!"

"His everyday disguise is too good."

Hearing these words, Consort Rong closed her eyes, her heart filled with despair. She then prostrated herself on the ground, desperately begging for mercy, "It was my mistake that I did something wrong. Please, elder sister, have mercy!" As she spoke, her eyes suddenly caught sight of Consort Chen sitting not far away. She immediately crawled over on her knees and grabbed Consort Chen's skirt, "Elder sister, please plead for me!"

Consort Chen's expression shifted from disdain to surprise. She usually got along better with Consort Rong, but at this critical moment, she wouldn't be foolish enough to plead for Consort Rong.

So Consort Chen kicked away Consort Rong's hand, stood up, and said righteously, "Sister, the country has its laws, and the palace has its rules. Since you have made a mistake, you must be punished."

Upon hearing this, Consort Rong immediately went limp and could no longer hold back her sobs.

"Well said!" said Consort Li.

"The reason I called you sisters here is naturally to uphold discipline and the law, so that you sisters will not make mistakes in your actions in the future."

Upon hearing this, all the concubines replied in unison, "We will remember Your Majesty's teachings!"

"Guards! Send Consort Rong back to Changying Palace and keep her under strict guard. I will inform His Majesty before taking further action!"

"Yes." Upon receiving the order, the palace servants immediately went to pull Consort Rong away.

Although Consort Rong was arrogant, she couldn't utter a single word at this moment, letting the palace servants drag her away.

Seeing this, Consort Lin felt a little smug.

"As for Chunmei..."

Consort Li looked at the trembling Chunmei as she spoke, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes, "Chunmei aided and abetted the wicked and plotted to harm the prince, she should be beaten to death!"

Upon hearing this, Chunmei immediately kowtowed repeatedly, pleading, "Your Majesty, please spare my life! Your Majesty, please spare my life!"

“However…” Consort Li said, glancing at Consort Lin, and continued, “Since you have repented and made amends, I will spare your life and bring good fortune to the prince!”

Chunmei immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"You may be spared the death penalty, but you can't escape punishment. From now on, you'll work in the laundry department!"

The Laundry Bureau? Upon hearing this, Chunmei's legs went weak. The work there was arduous and exhausting. Not only did she have to wash the clothes of the concubines and palace maids, but the water was cold all year round, and she would also be beaten and scolded by the head nanny. How could she endure it?

By the way, Consort Lin is the kindest of all, she will surely remember our past kindness. So Chunmei turned to Consort Lin and kowtowed, "Your Majesty, please consider my efforts to atone for my sins and keep me by your side!"

Consort Lin glanced at Chunmei, her eyes filled with unreadable emotions, while Dongqing beside her glared angrily at Chunmei. Chunmei had betrayed her master first, how could she have the nerve to say such things now?

"Sister!" It was Consort Lin who spoke.

"What? Are you going to plead for this servant?" Consort Li asked Consort Lin.

She had promised Jing Anle that she wouldn't do anything to Consort Lin, but if Consort Lin insisted on going against her, then she couldn't blame her.

At this moment, Chunmei's eyes shone with anticipation; she regarded Consort Lin as her last hope.

"Sister has misunderstood."

"Oh? What do you mean then?"

Chunmei looked at Consort Lin with a horrified expression.

"Sister, you are kind-hearted, but Chunmei's sins are too great. Therefore, I believe that sending Chunmei to the laundry department is not enough to atone for her sins, and she should be sent to the torture chamber!" Consort Lin said calmly.

"Bombing? That's basically suicide." Upon hearing this, Chunmei's heart sank. Her eyes lost all light, becoming like stagnant water, devoid of any life.

Consort Li was also somewhat surprised, but then smiled and said, "Alright, as you wish!"

Then Chunmei was dragged out like a dead fish.

"Now it seems that Consort Lin is not as celibate as outsiders say," Consort Li thought to herself.

……

Outside the palace, at the residence of the General Who Protects the Nation.

After receiving the letter from Mu Ping, Qin Xu immediately began to make arrangements, but Qin Xiuyuan discovered this.

“Father, I can do these things well too!” Qin Xiuyuan said.

Qin Xu closed his eyes. How could he not know? But this matter involved a wide range of people, and the fewer people who knew, the less danger there would be.

"Father!"

Looking at the persistent Qin Xiuyuan in front of him, he thought, "Fine, fine. If something really happens, no one can truly escape responsibility."

"it is good!"

Qin Xiuyuan pleaded for a long time before Qin Xu finally relented, "I'll tell you." He turned around and revealed all of Jing Anle's plans to him.

But after Qin Xu finished speaking, Qin Xiuyuan was stunned for a moment. He knew that his father and Jing Anle were plotting something big, but he did not expect it to be like this. That cold and beautiful Princess Anle actually had such ambitions. Since it was her matter and also concerned the country, then I would naturally help her.

Mu Ping had just come out of the study when she came face to face with Cao Wantang. The study was a restricted area, and ordinary people were not allowed to enter, but Cao Wantang was lingering there, which could be interpreted as some kind of scheme.

"Greetings, Aunt Cao!"

She had known for a long time that Aunt Cao was acting strangely, but she had no evidence to prove it.

Cao Wantang smiled calmly and said, "Miss Mu Ping, you're too kind."

The two women exchanged glances and both saw the other's ill intentions.

Cao Wantang had been in the General's Mansion for over a year but hadn't discovered anything until recently, when Princess Anle frequently visited the mansion. Only then did she finally find the key. However, Qin Xu's study was off-limits to her, and it was always guarded by soldiers, making it difficult for her to get even a step closer.

Just as she was pondering this, Mu Ping rushed up to her. Looking at Mu Ping's face, Cao Wantang suddenly had an idea.

……

In the Hall of Gathering Heroes, in the classroom.

Chi Wenyuan, who was giving the lecture, remained as ethereal and otherworldly as ever, untouched by worldly affairs.

All told, he had been in Jing Kingdom for over two months. Perhaps it was because his uncle had secretly protected him, but the prophecy of his death in his previous life had not come true. Jing Anle even wondered if his rebirth had changed something.

After what happened last time, Jing Anle and Jing Rou completely tore off the veil of pretense. However, the cunning Jing Rou would not do anything in front of everyone, after all, she was always good at the insidious kind of things.

Kou Shuran also seemed to have matured a lot. She no longer called Jing Rou "elder sister" but instead addressed her as "princess" in a polite yet distant manner.

Although the three women are related by blood, they become enemies because of power, desire, and hatred!
