Chen Jingxi laughed in her heart. Although she was just talking nonsense, these people seemed to believe it. If she could really kill Chu Jinghuai.
Why would those who wanted to assassinate him bother? Why not just send a few jinxes into the palace?
But she didn't care what they thought. Zhao Yue came to trouble her again and again, and she just said that she was unlucky in marriage.
"Who said you can be a princess? If you become a princess, doesn't that mean I have to give up my throne to you? Do you want the prince to divorce me? Or do you want me to die? Tell me."
Zhao Yue said hurriedly: "I dare not, I don't."
"You dare not. The last time you pushed me down the attic, you wanted me to die so you could be my princess."
"I didn't mean to do that. You just rolled down by accident."
Ha! She had met many people who always wanted to blame others for everything.
"Zhao Yue, there's no such thing as a third time. This princess has already let you down twice, and I warned you last time."
Zhao Yue's face turned pale. "What do you want to do?"
"How would you like to die?"
"How dare you? Although you are the princess, I am also the concubine of Yudie. What right do you have to punish me?"
"Do you think I can deal with her?"
Everyone lowered their heads.
Chunmei leaned close and whispered in Chen Jingxi's ear.
After hearing this, Chen Jingxi sighed. It’s different to have a good father.
Chu Jinghuai, this bastard, just marry him and don’t care about anything else.
"What is the prince doing?"
"Reporting to Princess, the prince and the generals are in the study for a meeting."
Chen Jingxi nodded and said, "Then lock Zhao up in the woodshed and wait for the prince to deal with her."
"Chen Jingxi, you've hurt me like this, why are you locking me up?"
"Just because I'm the princess, take her away."
"yes."
"Get out of here, don't touch me with your dirty hands. I can walk away by myself."
"Princess, will the prince punish Concubine Zhao?" Chunmei asked.
"have no idea."
"Then why did you let the prince deal with her? I think the prince would only lock up Concubine Zhao for a few days for the sake of Taifu Zhao."
“There’s so much to do in a few days.”
…
Outside the woodshed, the servant locked the door.
"Concubine, what should we do now?"
Hearing the people outside leave, Zhao Yue stood up and clapped a few times.
After some movement outside, the door opened.
"Concubine."
"Get out."
The maid asked fearfully, "Concubine, what are you going to do?"
"Of course I want Chen Jingxi to die."
"But……"
"Shut up."
She couldn't wait any longer. The prince had only stayed in Chen Jingxi's room, so she might be the first to give birth to the prince's child.
…
"My Lord, help!"
Ling Ying was startled and stopped the person who came forward, "Concubine Zhao?"
"Since you know it's me, your concubine, how dare you, a servant, stop me? Your Majesty, help me!"
"Concubine, the prince is discussing important matters with the generals. If you continue to make trouble like this, don't blame me for being rude."
Zhao Yue raised her hand and slapped Ling Ying. "You slave, who are you? If something happens to this concubine, can you bear the responsibility?"
"You..." Ling Ying held the sword horizontally in front of him. "The prince said that anyone who dares to enter the study without his order will be killed without mercy. Concubine Zhao, are you sure you want to go in?"
Zhao Yue took a step back. She wanted to see Chu Jinghuai, but she didn't want to die. However, she couldn't go in, but she could shout, "Prince, please come out. I'm almost dead."
The door to the study was suddenly pushed open, and Chu Jinghuai asked sternly, "What are you all arguing about?"
When Zhao Yue saw Chu Jinghuai coming out, she quickly pushed Ling Ying away and ran to Chu Jinghuai's feet and knelt down.
"My Lord, please save me. The princess wants to kill me."
Chu Jinghuai frowned, looked at Zhao Yue, who was soaked, and asked, "What happened?"
Zhao Yue repeated what had just happened from the beginning.
Chu Jinghuai's face couldn't be any darker, and he said coldly: "Go and call the princess."
A hint of pride flashed in Zhao Yue's eyes.
Chu Jinghuai lifted her face and said, "Is everything you said true?"
"I dare not tell a single falsehood."
"It's better this way, otherwise you know the consequences."
Zhao Yue looked at Chu Jinghuai and felt a chill all over her body. At this point, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and carry on.
Chu Jinghuai looked at her coldly. If he didn't know Chen Jingxi before, he might have believed what Zhao Yue said.
However, after spending these days together, he discovered that Chen Jingxi was a person who would not offend others unless they offended him.
So if Zhao Yue hadn't provoked her, she wouldn't have been able to treat people like this.
After a while, Chen Jingxi came in a hurry.
"My Lord, what do you want from me?"
Chu Jinghuai coughed lightly, "Princess, Concubine Zhao said that you pushed her into the water and wanted to kill her?"
Chen Jingxi glanced at Zhao Yue. This person was really capable. Even the woodshed couldn't hold her.
"Yes, that's right."
Chu Jinghuai was stunned and said quickly: "Princess, do you know what you are talking about?"
The corners of Zhao Yue's mouth rose slightly.
The generals standing by were shocked. The wife was bullying the concubine, and the princess spoke out so openly. Wasn't she afraid that the prince would divorce her? This was already a violation of the Seven Reasons for Divorce, jealousy.
"I know. I'm not confused."
"Then why do you want to harm Zhao?"
"I didn't hurt her."
Zhao Yue hurriedly said, "Princess, you admitted to torturing me so much, so why are you saying no?"
Chen Jingxi smiled. "How can I say I harmed you? Didn't you yell, 'Princess, push me, Princess, push me?' Didn't I just grant your wish? Why did you come to the prince to complain?"
Everyone: “…”
Chu Jinghuai's mouth twitched, "Concubine Zhao, is that so?"
"Your Highness is not like that. It was clearly the Princess who pushed me into the water, so I would say that the Princess pushed me."
Chen Jingxi snorted coldly, "Zhao, why did this princess push you into this for no reason?"
"It's... because you, Princess, are afraid that I will compete with you for your favor."
"Zhao, didn't you just say that this princess was jealous of your beauty?"
Chu Jinghuai asked solemnly, "What's going on with the Zhao family?"
"Your Majesty, generals, please believe me. It was really the princess who pushed me. My father is the current imperial tutor. How could I possibly lie?"
Everyone looked at Chu Jinghuai.
Chen Jingxi cursed softly: Damn it, he wants to rely on his father! She just can't stand those who have a father to rely on, but she doesn't have one, so she is easily jealous.
"Zhao, everything requires evidence. If your father is the Grand Tutor, you can't lie. Then what's the point of Jingzhao Prefecture? Can't you just tell me who my father is?"
Everyone nodded: The princess is right.
Seeing this, Zhao Yue hurriedly said, "My maids saw it all."
The maid knelt down and said, "Your Majesty, I saw the princess push the concubine."
"Oh, where did you see it?"
"I saw it from the rockery in front."
