Chapter 5 The Prime Minister's Wife

At this moment, a maidservant beside Princess Chang Le shouted, "Princess!"

"Help! Princess..." She was pushed into the water.

Luo Xi looked at Zhu Zhu, who nodded knowingly. She immediately covered the maid's mouth, silencing her before she could finish speaking. Suddenly, as the maid struggled, two thin ropes fell from her bosom.

Luo Xi: !!!

Zhuzhu: !!!

What is she doing with the rope?

Maid: !!!

Ah! A rope!

The princess had given her this rope to wear. She told her to just throw it on the ground later, creating the illusion that Madam Gu wanted her to be tied up.

With a cold face, Zhuzhu pushed the maid away, making her keep her mistress company.

Luo Xi tossed two colorless and odorless pills into the water, then coldly watched the two people struggling in the water, unable to make a sound.

Since Princess Chang Le loves water so much and enjoys framing others so much, then... then she can stay down there forever!

Well, she was also very kind to let Zhuzhu send her personal maid down to keep her company, so that she wouldn't be so lonely on her way to the underworld. She thought she was a really good person.

Princess Chang Le was astonished to see that Luo Xi's maid had actually pushed her personal maid down. She was incredibly audacious.

Did they intend to harm her?

She jumped down herself just to test whether Gu Ziyan would feel sorry for her, even if only a little.

She didn't intend to do anything to Luo Xi; she wasn't that ruthless.

She had sent the guards away. So, there was no one else in the place. She immediately regretted it.

She had practiced swimming in Jingguo, and she thought she would be fine.

But suddenly she felt weak all over. She wanted to shout, but she couldn't make a sound. She felt that she was really going to drown. Her gaze involuntarily turned to her maid, who couldn't swim and had already sunk.

When Chang Le saw this scene, she was suddenly filled with fear; she was afraid that she was really dead.

Princess Chang Le struggled to lift her head, looking pleadingly at Luo Xi, hoping she could save her or call someone to rescue her.

Zhuzhu bent down and picked up the two ropes from the ground.

Luo Xi stood with her arms crossed, motionless, and even smiled at Princess Chang Le.

Princess Chang Le: !!!

Luo Xi actually didn't call for help? How dare she? What if she died? Did she think she could get away unscathed?

Suddenly, Jingruan noticed the familiar bracelet on Princess Changle's left wrist.

This... isn't this Bai Zhi's bracelet?

Could it be that Princess Chang Le knows Bai Zhi?

Oh! Right, at that time, Bai Zhi went to Jing Kingdom to treat the Jing Kingdom's emperor, and Princess Chang Le was also sent to Jing Kingdom for a political marriage, so it's not surprising that they knew each other.

With Bai Zhi's medical skills, the emperor of Jing Kingdom couldn't have died so quickly. Even if he were to be hanged, he could have remained suspended for several years.

She looked at Princess Chang Le.

The only possibility is that Bai Zhi is in love with Princess Chang Le.

Princess Chang Le wanted to return, so Bai Zhi helped her come back. He did not do his best to save the Emperor of Jing, and he may have even poisoned him.

Ha! I never expected that Bai Zhi would have a lover one day.

If Princess Chang Le were to die, Bai Zhi would definitely investigate thoroughly and avenge her.

Others might not know she was poisonous, but Bai Zhi did. If Bai Zhi saw her, he would definitely suspect her.

Therefore, she had no choice but to strike first.

At this moment, Princess Chang Le grew increasingly weak underwater. Finally, she stopped struggling, closed her eyes, and fell into eternal sleep in the pond...

Luo Xi knew that Princess Chang Le had sent the guards away.

However, she came out first, and the guards knew she was in the pavilion. Even if she left now, they couldn't rule out suspicion.

Suddenly, she looked at the rope in Zhuzhu's arms, and a plan formed in her mind.

Half an hour later,

A maidservant passed by and saw Princess Chang Le and her personal maidservant in the water. She screamed in fright...

Half an hour later,

The Emperor arrived with a large entourage.

He squatted on the ground, looking at Chang Le, who was soaking wet, pale-faced, and lying lifeless on the ground, his hands clenched into fists.

He shouted angrily, "Investigate! Whoever it is, they must pay with their lives for Chang Le!"

This is the imperial palace! Who on earth dares to harm people here? They are utterly audacious, showing absolutely no respect for imperial authority.

Gu Ziyan frowned. He looked around but didn't see Luo Xi.

She has clearly come out.

Princess Chang Le is in trouble. Could something have happened to her too?

He was very worried, and he was just about to go look elsewhere.

Suddenly, he looked towards the pavilion, where a small section of a garment was peeking out from the gap.

What is the color and style of these clothes?

His pupils contracted slightly, and he suddenly ran in that direction, startling the Emperor. He looked in the direction Gu Ziyan was running...
