However, her exposed wrists and neck were covered with crisscrossing red marks.
Princess Jiahua felt a pang of regret for the person before her.
"I am from the Kingdom of Xiao," Consort Mei suddenly said.
Princess Jia Hua finally remembered something. She turned her head and waved her hand, dismissing everyone. Her personal maid said, "Your Highness, this servant will serve you."
"You insolent fool!" Consort Mei suddenly lost her temper and slapped the palace maid hard across the face. "You don't even listen to me anymore?"
The palace maid was beaten. She covered her face, hesitated for a moment, and then silently retreated.
With no one around, Consort Mei looked at Princess Jiahua: "I was favored in Xiao Kingdom and had a harmonious relationship with the Emperor. I was about to be crowned Empress. It was that beast who forcibly took me away and even forced me to drink a potion that would kill my fertility."
The concubine's eyes were filled with hatred: "The child I finally conceived has turned into a pool of blood..."
As Princess Jia Hua listened to Consort Mei's accusations, she clenched her fists tighter and tighter, trying to stay alert. She was in dire straits herself and had no ability to protect Consort Mei. She could only listen silently.
"Zhao Jiahua," she suddenly called out.
Princess Jia Hua looked up at her.
Don't you hate it?
Princess Jia Hua's expression shifted slightly: "I don't remember anything from the moment I stepped into the Southern Frontier."
Perhaps not expecting Princess Jia Hua's response, Consort Mei paused for a moment, then suddenly smiled.
Suddenly, the air was filled with the smell of blood. Princess Jiahua frowned and saw that Consort Mei's lower body was bleeding, and her jade feet were stained red.
"you……"
Consort Mei didn't seem to care at all: "Princess Jia Hua, I'm sorry."
Princess Jia Hua's eyelids twitched.
Suddenly, they heard Meifei scream for help.
In just a moment, a large number of people poured in from outside, and the once quiet courtyard was as bright as day. Princess Jiahua saw the Southern Emperor returning in the crowd, and her heart sank.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, save me!" Consort Mei, who had been fierce just moments before, became frail and weak, kneeling on the ground and reaching out to the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang.
The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang looked down at her and said, "Guards, quickly help Consort Mei up."
A palace maid stepped forward to help Consort Mei up. Nanjiang glanced at the blood beneath her body, frowned in disgust, and then immediately ordered the imperial physician, "Go and examine Consort Mei."
"yes."
Consort Mei was helped inside.
A pool of blood remained where she had stood. Princess Jiahua roughly guessed why Consort Mei had done this—to frame her and give the Southern Frontier Emperor a reason to lash out at her.
The Southern Emperor's pent-up anger, which he had been suppressing for a day, finally erupted at this moment.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, something terrible has happened! Consort Mei has lost too much blood and passed away!" A palace maid rushed out and shouted.
The Southern Frontier Emperor feigned surprise: "Wh-what?"
After saying that, he stumbled and ran inside.
He came out again a moment later, and the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang looked at Princess Jia Hua: "Seventh Prince's Consort, why did you hurt Consort Mei? Do you know that she is already pregnant!"
Princess Jia Hua laughed in anger: "Your Majesty, please forgive me, I have never harmed Consort Mei."
At this moment, a palace maid jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, this servant saw with my own eyes that the Seventh Prince's Consort slandered the Empress, complaining that the Empress was crippled and that she was a vixen who seduced people. She also said that the Empress would fall out of favor sooner or later. Seventh Prince's Consort, the Empress was just lonely and wanted to chat with you, but you refused to listen to her summons and attempted to assassinate her in public."
Princess Jia Hua knew that whatever she said was wrong.
This whole situation was set up specifically for her.
"Seventh Prince's Consort, how dare you!" the Southern Border Emperor roared.
Princess Jiahua knelt on the ground with her back bent, her body straight, and she made up her mind: "If the emperor wants his subject to die, the subject has no choice but to die. Since the emperor has determined that his subject is guilty, then grant his subject death."
The Emperor of Southern Xinjiang's pupils contracted, and a slap landed on Princess Jia Hua's face without warning: "Insolence! How dare you threaten me!"
The slap was swift and hard, leaving her ears ringing and unable to process what was happening for a long time. She watched as the Southern Emperor's mouth opened and closed, but she couldn't hear a thing.
It took me a while to hear clearly.
The Southern Emperor suddenly gave her a bloodthirsty smile.
Princess Jia Hua instantly regained her senses, a sense of foreboding lingering in her heart.
"Guards, take the Seventh Prince's Consort inside to be forgiven," the Southern Emperor said, pointing to the inner room.
Two palace maids held her shoulders and dragged her inside. The room was filled with a nauseating mix of extravagance and blood.
She almost vomited from the smell.
She saw that the person on the bed was lifeless, pale, and almost drained of blood, and the palace servants beside him hadn't bothered to clean him up.
They watched with indifference, as if they were already used to it.
She knelt for several hours, feeling dizzy and uncomfortable, with a wave of heat washing over her. She rubbed her temples, forcing herself to calm down.
But she couldn't bear the discomfort inside her body, as if something was devouring her consciousness.
Princess Jia Hua's expression changed slightly.
They finally realized something was wrong.
She bit her tongue, the pain jolting her back to her senses. She touched her burning forehead, feeling weak all over.
Then I noticed wisps of incense burning in a corner of the hall.
The more I smell it, the more uncomfortable I feel.
It's Hehuan San!
Princess Jia Hua never expected that the Emperor of Southern Xinjiang would be so bold, daring to kidnap her so soon after the Seventh Prince left.
Her consciousness gradually faded, and she could no longer feel the pain on her tongue. Princess Jiahua even had the thought of dying. Before she collapsed, she seemed to hear someone calling for her prince.
