He rushed back shortly afterward: "Reporting to Your Highness, the Duke of Jingguo's mansion did indeed take away a concubine today and sent her to the Fan family. Song Mao was also tied up in a carriage and sent to the estate."
Princess Zhennan's face was ashen when Tiger fell and burst into tears, interrupting her thoughts: "You good-for-nothing, you can't even keep an eye on the boy! Go find a doctor right now!"
The maids quickly comforted Tiger.
Only after the crying stopped did the Princess of Zhennan calm down. The letter requested that the Princess of Zhennan go to the back gate of the Duke of Jingguo that night, as the Grand Madam had something to say to her.
Fearing she might not come, they specifically requested that some items be given to the Princess of Zhennan.
This is clearly a blatant threat.
The old lady was trying to threaten her, forcing her to save Song Mao.
After much deliberation, she could only compromise: "Send someone to keep an eye on where Song Mao sent the goods, and pick him up when he arrives."
Night fell
Princess Zhennan returned the two children to their birth mother, then excused herself from feeling unwell and went to rest early. As darkness fell, she put on her night clothes and leaped up, heading towards the Duke of Jingguo's residence.
At that time, the Duke of Jingguo's mansion was quiet. The Princess of Zhennan arrived at the agreed location with ease. After waiting for a while and confirming that there was nothing wrong around, she jumped down and tiptoed to the door.
Whoosh!
The torches in the courtyard instantly illuminated the surroundings.
Princess Zhennan's expression changed slightly. She turned around in a hurry, and the next second a flying needle pierced her body. Her expression changed drastically, and she became weak all over. She clutched her chest and retreated, drawing out a dagger and looking around sharply.
Damn it, I've been tricked by that old woman.
Creak!
The door was opened.
Princess Jiahua emerged from inside, a smile playing on her lips. Her gaze fell upon the Princess of Zhennan, who bared her teeth in anger upon seeing who it was: "It's you!"
"Your Highness, the Princess Consort came alone." Xiu Shu had already checked the surroundings and confirmed that she had no help.
Princess Zhennan's pupils contracted, and she secretly realized that her identity had been guessed. So she simply stopped trying to hide it: "Jiahua, I came to visit the Grand Madam out of kindness. Isn't it against the rules for you to have people surround me like this?"
Princess Jia Hua raised her chin: "Hold it down!"
"Jiahua!" Princess Zhennan panicked and nimbly wrestled with the guards. The more she struggled, the more limp her body became.
Pfft!
A sharp claw hooked onto the shoulder of the Princess of Zhennan and pierced through her with a sudden thrust.
"ah!"
Princess Zhennan screamed, her body went limp and she knelt on the ground. The guards stepped forward and chained her up. Blood was everywhere, and Princess Zhennan's face was deathly pale in the lamplight.
Princess Jia Hua then waved her hand and said, "All of you, step back."
"You're despicable!" Princess Zhennan exclaimed in fury.
"Your martial arts are quite good. I am powerless, so how can I not use some tricks when I am with you?" Princess Jiahua said dismissively.
Now that the Princess of Zhennan has nowhere to escape, she is willing to spend time alone with the two of them.
After everyone left, the courtyard was quiet.
Princess Jiahua looked at the person kneeling on the ground and didn't know where to start. The Princess Consort of Zhennan endured the pain and said, "Even if you kill me, you won't change the past. On the contrary, you will bring big trouble upon yourself. I am, after all, a lady of the court. The Zhennan Prince's Mansion will not let you off easily."
