The Daily Life of a Concubine's Daughter After Transmigrating

The head of the guards, Zhao Dequan, looked at Li Baoqin. Seeing Li Baoqin wink at him, he paused, then rallied the crowd:

"Now that the evidence has been found, we must wait for the Prince to return and await his decision. Before that, Consort Qi will likely have to suffer some injustice."

Li Baoqin spent a lot of money to bribe Zhao Dequan, all for this day.

Zhao Dequan had been staying at the Prince Xiao's residence and believed he was well aware of the two ladies' situation.

He heard that Li Anqi was not favored.

When Li Anqi caused Li Baoqin's first pregnancy to die, he was slapped by the prince and then punished by being forced to endure the hardships of being a servant in Tianchang Garden...

In contrast, Li Baoqin became pregnant one after another, and even before she was married, the whole capital knew that she was the most beloved daughter of Prince Xiao.

He had already made up his mind about which of the two concubines was more important.

What Zhao Dequan knew, the other guards naturally knew as well.

"What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and do it!" Li Baoqin shouted angrily.

The guards roused themselves and prepared to approach Li Anqi.

Xiao Shunzi appeared out of nowhere, blocking Li Anqi's path, and pleaded:

"Lady Qin, please reconsider! If the Prince returns to the manor and finds Lady Qi injured, it will be difficult to explain to anyone..."

"Get out of the way!" Zhao Dequan kicked Xiao Shunzi away.

Seeing this, Xiao Dezi turned and ran out of the courtyard, shouting, "This servant will go and invite the Prince back to the manor to uphold justice!"

"Stop him!" Li Baoqin screamed.

Two guards immediately chased after him and seized Xiao Dezi's left and right arms.

Xiao Dezi was extremely anxious, struggling and shouting:

"Lady Chess is a good mistress, a very kind person! She would never do anything despicable! You've all made a mistake. This servant will go and invite the Prince back to the manor right away!"

Just then, Xiao Dezi slipped on a pebble and suddenly fell into the huge lotus pot.

puff-

Water splashed from the surface of the vat, wetting the chins of the two guards.

"Xiao Dezi!" Li Anqi frowned with worry.

Li Baoqin was afraid that Xiao Dezi would really find Ling Luo, so she hurriedly ordered the guards: "Hold him down! Do not let go without my order!"

The two guards exchanged a glance, seemingly having made up their minds, and forcefully grabbed Xiao Dezi's shoulders and the back of his head, pushing him into the water.

咕噜咕噜——

The surface of the lotus pot was like boiling water, constantly bubbling and rippling.

"Stop!" Li Anqi's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly shouted sharply, "As the concubine of Prince Xiao, I order you to let go!"

The two guards looked at Zhao Dequan hesitantly.

Zhao Dequan glanced at Li Baoqin and saw her give him a wink and nod to the two guards, signaling them to continue pressing.

The water ripples in the lotus pot are getting smaller and smaller.

A chill ran through Li Anqi's blood, and a hint of murderous intent gradually crept into his usually calm and gentle eyes.

She pulled out the velvet hairpin from her temple, and pressed the sharp tip against the throat of a guard standing nearby. A bead of blood immediately seeped from the guard's neck.

"I'll say it one last time—release them! Otherwise, I will make you arrogant and despicable people pay the price! I mean what I say!"

The guards were deathly pale, their Adam's apples bobbing, and cold sweat trickling down their temples.

Some of the guards were so afraid that their hands began to tremble uncontrollably.

I never expected that this seemingly gentle concubine would have such a sharp edge hidden in her bones.

Only then did they realize that they had encountered a terrible disaster and had offended someone they shouldn't have!

Zhao Dequan's calves also began to tremble.

He glanced furtively at Li Baoqin, his lips trembling as if he was about to say something.

"I'll see who dares to release it!" Li Baoqin shouted shrilly.

The two guards exchanged a glance, but this time they did not listen to Li Baoqin and obediently took Xiao Dezi out of the water vat.

The cold body, like minced meat, was slammed onto the bluestone slab with a "thud," splashing up a puddle of water.

Something surged within Li Anqi's heart, and the tip of the velvet hairpin immediately left the guard's throat, clattering to the ground.

She stumbled to Xiao Dezi's side, her trembling fingers checking his breath—it was cold.

The boy's face had turned pale, his lips were cyanotic, and his once bright eyes would never open again.

His fingers were still in a struggling position, with some mud embedded in his fingernails...

“Xiao Dezi…” Li Anqi’s voice was so soft it was almost inaudible.

She reached out and gently stroked Xiao Dezi's pale cheek, her fingertips touching something icy cold.

Tears welled up in my eyes.

Li Anqi wrapped his arms around Xiao Dezi's shoulders, tightening his grip, and lowered his head, sobbing silently.

Xiao Dezi, who stayed by her side when she was down on her luck, who would prune the trees in Fuying Garden, and who said she was a good master and a great benefactor.

There's no going back...

Zhilan covered her mouth and wept silently, while Liuyun collapsed to the ground, sobbing uncontrollably.

Xiao Shunzi crawled over and hugged Xiao Dezi's leg, bursting into tears like a child:

"Dezi! Dezi, wake up! If you leave, you won't be able to take the snacks from me anymore. If I eat all the snacks, are you satisfied?! Huh?"

The courtyard was deathly silent.

The guards were ashen-faced, and their weapons fell to the ground.

A chill ran down Zhao Dequan's spine; he knew that things were unlikely to end well.
