Chapter 291 The Crown Princess's Revenge 1
Zhou Jirou said nothing in the car, and the tears on her face were dried by the wind.
The servant who came to pick her up thought that she was too sad and too tired from the commotion just now, so he did not try to persuade her, but just drove the carriage back to the Prince's Mansion in silence.
"Rou'er..." Her mother stepped forward.
"Send Madam Zhou back home." Zhou Jirou drove her mother out of the Prince's Mansion.
Several ladies in the family came out to greet them, pretending to cry along with them, but some of them were actually overjoyed in their hearts.
Especially Madam Li. If the crown prince died and the baby in her belly was a son, she would have the position of the crown prince.
All the velvet trees she had people planted were cut down. She thought Zhou Jirou would do something, but she didn't expect that Zhou Jirou didn't know it was her who did it, but she didn't do anything else.
She didn't expect that there was someone as anxious as she was and took action.
Zhou Jirou stayed quietly in the mansion, staying here for a while, then there for a while, but she never stayed in her room.
Everyone felt that something was wrong with her, but no one dared to stop her.
The next day, she slowly walked to the lotus pond in the mansion and asked someone to invite several ladies over.
Several ladies then went to the riverside to accompany him.
They were also afraid that she would become depressed. If something happened at home and the prince became furious, no one would be happy.
No one knew how to persuade him, so they just sat there silently.
Zhou Jirou suddenly raised her head and said to everyone, "My Ji'er calls you mother, right?"
When she asked this, the maids and servants who really cared about the child, as well as the two non-pregnant ladies, all began to cry softly.
The child is such a good child.
Zhou Jirou stood up suddenly and walked in front of Madam Chun, holding a hairpin in her hand and pressing it against Madam Chun's neck.
Everyone exclaimed, wondering why Zhou Jirou did this.
Because Madam Chun is her younger sister, they are like-minded. Although she might be pregnant with a daughter, as long as she has a child, her status will be stable.
It is understandable that the Crown Princess wants to kill Madam Li.
"Crown Princess, please stay calm and put the hairpin down!"
"She is Madam Chun! Are you crazy? She is Madam Chun!"
Everyone advised that she had simply gone insane because of her child's death.
Zhou Jirou shook her head and said, "I treat you as my own sister..."
She exerted force on her hands, and blood began to flow from Madam Chun's neck.
"I treat you as my own sister, and my son calls you mother. How could you have the heart to do this to me?!" Zhou Jirou roared.
Madam Chun clutched her stomach in panic and hurriedly said, "Sister, it wasn't me! It wasn't me! I didn't harm the Crown Prince, I didn't harm him!"
"Why did he eat dried apricots? Why did he eat hundred-fruit cake? Why? Chef Zhang, I just killed him. He told me everything!"
Madam Chun's hands trembled. "No! He must have framed me. I never asked him to make these foods, much less feed them to the Crown Prince. Besides, these things won't cause the Crown Prince to have allergies! No way!"
Zhou Jirou snorted coldly: "How do you know Ji'er has an allergy?"
Madam Chun was stunned.
"I'm afraid that others will know about this. In fact, only Fenghua Jun and the people close to me in the courtyard know about it." Zhou Jirou said.
When Feng Aoqing came to see the child, she told her that the child had many allergens, and she must be very careful about what she used and ate at home. There were several foods and plants that Tianyao often ate that could cause his allergies.
Feng Aoqing specially made a list of things that made the Crown Prince sick for Zhou Jirou. She has been paying attention to it, so the child has been doing well recently.
"I'm on guard against everyone day and night, but not you!" Zhou Jirou shouted.
The others looked at Madam Chun in shock. None of them knew that the Crown Prince was suffering from an allergy. They just thought that he was weak in the womb, which was why he often coughed and had a fever. They were used to it and didn't know there were other causes.
Only the people in Zhou Jirou's courtyard knew about this matter in the Prince's Mansion, and those people were his confidants who had served him closely for many years, so it was impossible for them to spread it to outsiders, except for one person, that is Madam Chun, who might have come into contact with people in the courtyard. Everyone also knew that she was one of them, so they would not avoid her.
Madam Chun wanted to say something, but Zhou Jirou didn't give her any chance and put the whole hairpin into her neck.
"You and your son will pay for my Ji'er's life." Zhou Jirou said fiercely.
The hairpin was pulled out, and blood splattered on the vermilion pillars and bluestone slabs of the pavilion, but her hand did not stop and she pushed the hairpin into Madam Chun's abdomen again.
Once, once, and again.
Zhou Jirou's face was filled with joy at this moment, as if she was possessed.
She didn't stop until the steward sent the guards to come and hold her back.
Zhou Jirou looked at Madam Chun, who was still breathing, and said, "Don't pull me. Wait a moment. I want to watch her die."
"Crown Princess, that's enough..." The steward had worked in the Crown Prince's Mansion for many years. Zhou Jirou had never said a harsh word, let alone killed anyone.
"You are pregnant with a son," Zhou Jirou said with a smile, "If you don't kill my Ji'er, the position will be his in the future."
"Everyone knows that I, Ji'er, can't grow up. I just want him to live peacefully for two more years and die naturally, rather than be killed by you. I have never thought about him becoming a prince or a king in the future. I just want him to live comfortably for two more years!"
Madam Chun was still breathing hard. She stared at Zhou Jirou with her eyes wide open. I wonder if she had any regrets in her heart right now.
She just thought that she was pregnant with a daughter and that the prince had a new favorite. She was afraid that he would hardly look at her again and lost hope.
When the Crown Prince jumped up and down and called her "Empress Chun", she suddenly felt malicious.
What if he died?
What if the baby is a son?
What if I have a son in the future?
She reached out to her abdomen. The child was probably beyond saving, as her stomach was riddled with holes.
She closed her eyes with horror, resentment and regret.
The servants were in a panic, but the steward was a little calmer. He asked the guards to send Zhou Jirou into the room and keep her there, because they didn't know what else she would do.
He also sent someone to quickly invite the prince.
The person who went to invite him was the commander of the guards, who was usually the smartest one.
When they arrived at the Leshou Hall, they did not shout, but only bowed outside the hall.
When Yuwen You saw him, who was guarding the mansion, coming over, he knew that something big had happened in the mansion, and this matter could not be discussed in the palace, so he left the palace.
When he heard what happened at home, he hurried back, and Zhou Jirou's father came back with him.
The two men looked solemn. They had never thought that the gentle Zhou Jirou would do such a thing.
Zhou Han said to Yuwen You, "Your Highness, if she dies, she dies. We can have children in the future, and Madam Ru can be taken in as a new wife. Madam Chun is from my family, so it's okay. I will take care of it. Just come up with an excuse."
