Chapter 37 She'll die a horrible death!
"how so?!"
Shen Ruoli muttered to herself, her body swaying as she nearly fell to the ground!
Fortunately, Shen Rufeng caught her. "Li'er, are you alright?"
Leap Month quickly helped her sit down.
Seeing Shen Ruoli so devastated, Qingying smiled triumphantly.
She felt a little better only when she saw Shen Ruoli in pain!
These injuries don't seem so bad anymore.
"Shen Ruoli, do you understand everything now? Do you really think the prince is deeply in love with you? If it weren't for the fact that you look like me, would the prince have even looked at you?"
Because Shen Ruoli violently tore off the human skin mask from Qingying's face, her face was now covered in blood, making her look quite gruesome.
But Qingying seems to have lost all feeling of pain.
She giggled, "You look a bit like me, though..."
Before she could finish speaking, Runyue couldn't control herself and slapped Qingying across the face, causing blood to stream down her cheeks!
"You lowly servant! It's a blessing from your ancestors for eighteen generations that you bear even a resemblance to my Crown Princess! How dare you spout such nonsense! What grandson resembles his grandfather?"
This slap left a layer of flesh and blood stuck to the palm of the leap month's hand.
Disgusted, she grimaced and wiped her face clean with a handkerchief before throwing it over Qingying's face, covering her blood-soaked skin.
"Don't come out and scare people if you look like that! Otherwise, our Crown Princess will have nightmares if she sees you!"
Shen Ruoli slowly recovered from her shock.
But she didn't care that she and Qingying were somewhat similar.
Her first reaction was...
"Brother, Ziyan doesn't know about this yet, does she?"
Although Ziyan was skilled in disguise and imitation, she did not know that Qingying was also wearing a human skin mask!
What if Xie Xuansong finds out...
Ziyan is definitely in danger!
"I'll send a message right away."
Shen Rufeng understood what she meant, and his expression immediately turned serious!
"You're only realizing it now? Too late!"
Qingying was still smiling, but her face grew increasingly ferocious and terrifying. "Shen Ruoli, you shouldn't have betrayed the Prince! You think you can control the Prince, but don't forget how the Prince got to where he is today!"
"You think you're clever enough, but in front of the prince, you're nothing!"
Shen Ruoli slowly turned around to look at her, "And what about you? What are you then?"
Qingying was taken aback. "What do you mean?"
"If Xie Xuansong truly loved you, how did you end up in my hands?"
"you……"
"Xie Xuansong is using me, so naturally I won't let him do as he pleases. But in his eyes, you're nothing, not even worth using!"
Shen Ruoli originally didn't want to waste words with Qingying.
The person she wanted to deal with was Xie Xuansong; Qingying was not worthy of her repeated attacks.
Unfortunately, Qingying lacked self-awareness and insisted on provoking her.
Shen Ruoli is no pushover either!
"Do you really think that just by getting pregnant with his child, you can be on equal footing with Song Xuerou?"
Shen Ruoli sat down in front of her. "Naive and laughable! Knowing that Xie Xuansong has no heart, you still dare to think of using a child to tie him down?"
"Qingying, Xie Xuansong does indeed want to be the first to give birth to the imperial grandson. Unfortunately... what he has always wanted is Song Xuerou's child! Even if you are pregnant with his child, your child will only be an illegitimate child that cannot be exposed! He will only be ashamed of you! So what are you so proud of in front of me?"
Her words clearly stung Qingying.
Before overhearing Xie Xuansong and Ziyan's conversation, she was convinced that she held a high position in Xie Xuansong's heart.
But now, being mocked by Shen Ruoli, Qingying couldn't say a word!
After a long pause, she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence through gritted teeth, "And what about you? At least I was pregnant with the prince's child! What are you? The prince only ever held your hand!"
"Even if you throw a tantrum this time, the Prince won't tolerate it anymore! Shen Ruoli, the reason you deliberately acted so intimately with the Crown Prince was just to provoke the Prince and make him jealous, wasn't it?"
Hearing this, Shen Ruoli was so angry she laughed.
So, in Xie Xuansong and Qingying's minds, she deliberately became very close to Xie Xuanyin in order to provoke Xie Xuansong into anger?
"Thank God, I have to thank his ancestors for eighteen generations, he has never touched me! He even held my hand once, and I felt disgusted, as if I had a criminal record for it!"
After saying that, Shen Ruoli sneered, "Didn't you think that you were unique in Xie Xuansong's heart?"
"If the Princess Consort of Chu were to hear you say that..."
The moment she uttered those words, Qingying's expression changed drastically!
Others may not understand Song Xuerou's true nature, but doesn't she know it too?
To outsiders, Song Xuerou is gentle, kind, and mild-mannered;
But only Qingying knew just how selfish, ruthless, jealous, and terrifying that woman truly was!
Speaking of which, Shen Ruoli and Song Xuerou are actually close friends!
Ruochen and Ruoli handed her over to Song Xuerou...
Now that Xie Xuansong is not in the capital, Song Xuerou is in charge of the Chu Prince's Mansion.
She's definitely going to die!
And they will die a terrible death!
Qingying began to tremble.
Seeing her trembling, Shen Ruoli smiled with satisfaction, "I hadn't thought of any way to make you feel even worse. You've found yourself a good place to go."
She raised her chin. "In the leap month, announce that the Princess Consort of Chu will come to the Crown Prince's residence for a gathering! Tell her that I have some good news to tell her."
...
The Chu King's Palace.
Upon hearing the servant's reply, Song Xuerou's expression immediately turned strange.
"Strange! Why would Shen Ruoli suddenly want to see me?"
She paced back and forth in the room.
She has lived in Shen Ruoli's shadow since she was a child.
She was obsessed with taking everything from Shen Ruoli, including men!
But she also understands Shen Ruoli's temperament best.
When Xie Xuansong said he wanted to marry her, she was overjoyed, feeling that she had finally surpassed Shen Ruoli. But along with it came endless worry and fear!
She was afraid of Shen Ruoli.
To everyone's surprise, on their wedding day, Shen Ruoli did not come to cause a scene, nor was she harmed by her.
These days, Song Xuerou had tried to see her, but Shen Ruoli refused to let her in.
She thought they would become strangers, but Shen Ruoli suddenly sent a message asking her to get together.
"Could it be that she's finally lost her temper after all this time and is going to settle scores with me later?"
Song Xuerou paused, a sense of unease creeping into her heart. "What did the Prince say? When is he finally returning to the capital? How am I supposed to clean up this mess he left behind!"
"No! I cannot see Shen Ruoli. You must go to the palace immediately and tell them that I, the Princess Consort, am unwell..."
"But Your Highness, Miss Runyue, who serves the Crown Princess, is still waiting outside!"
The maidservant lowered her head.
This means that Shen Ruoli absolutely must see Song Xuerou today!
It seems I can't avoid faking illness anymore.
Song Xuerou gritted her teeth, "I, the Princess Consort, will go to the palace. You go to the Prime Minister's residence immediately and tell Father about this! If I, the Princess Consort, do not leave the palace in half an hour, then let Father enter the palace!"
Thinking she had made arrangements for her escape route, she nervously followed Runyue into the palace.
Throughout the journey, Song Xuerou had a premonition that she would die at Shen Ruoli's hands today.
But she never expected that today would not be her death day, but her rebirth!
