At first, the second prince didn't understand what the talisman meant, but then Jing Le mentally explained its functions.
He took it immediately.
He was afraid that if he was even a minute late, Jing Le would take it back.
After all, this is something that can save your life.
Since he was able to hear Jing Le's inner thoughts, the Second Prince has come to believe that Jing Le had possessed his body.
Jing Le also learned from her heart that the world she lived in was derived from storybooks.
And her own fate, or rather the fate of the entire Dayong Dynasty, would begin with the taking away of her body.
His revered father, the emperor, was also killed by that person, something he could not tolerate.
He will definitely not be possessed this time, if he really is possessed.
He would also try to commit suicide before successfully possessing another body.
I will never become the one who caused my father's death.
Jing Le was unaware that after she left, the Second Prince had someone bring a dagger to his side, and he even took it with him to bed.
Unbeknownst to Jing Le, another person carrying a wooden box arrived at the Second Prince's residence that very night.
They successfully delivered the items to the Second Prince.
...
Time passed quietly, the sun gradually set, and night fell.
As lights gradually illuminated every home, laughter and cheerful voices filled the courtyards and surrounding areas.
It shows how peaceful and warm this city is.
But tonight, someone has set their sights on the peace and quiet.
I want to shatter this beautiful moment.
Kunning Palace is shrouded in mist, filled with the steam from food and the aroma of incense.
Emperor Jing came to the Empress's side. These past few days, the Empress has been very well-behaved, as if nothing had happened that day, and she is still as gentle and virtuous as ever.
However, Emperor Jing had already seen through the Empress's true colors, so how could he still believe her?
At this moment, the Empress personally served Emperor Jing food, just like an old married couple.
If it weren't for their ulterior motives, this scene would have been quite heartwarming.
"I am very happy that Your Majesty has come. These are all specially prepared for Your Majesty. Please try them."
The empress chatted casually, as if the two were a loving couple.
But Emperor Jing is not buying it now.
Previously, he focused all his attention on national affairs, so he didn't care much about the women in the harem.
Apart from the Imperial Concubine, everyone else was dispensable to him.
That's why the Empress was able to successfully poison the Consort's eyes every time.
It almost caused the Emperor to lose trust in the Imperial Concubine.
Thinking of this, Emperor Jing's eyes darkened.
"Your Majesty, there's no need to beat around the bush. Don't you have something to say to me?"
The Empress saw the warmth she had created shatter in an instant, and a look of madness gathered in her eyes.
"Is Your Majesty no longer even willing to dine with me?"
The Empress's tone was no longer respectful; her voice rose several decibels, and her questioning became particularly pronounced.
Before Emperor Jing could answer, she continued, "That's right. In His Majesty's heart, only the Consort's matter is important; everyone else is irrelevant."
“But I am your lawfully wedded wife, and the Imperial Concubine is nothing more than a concubine.”
"Enough!"
"Smack!"
"ah!"
Emperor Jing was initially interested in watching her act, but he immediately became furious when the topic of the Imperial Concubine being a concubine came up.
"Hmph! You still have the nerve to tell me you are my lawfully wedded wife."
"Although I was a prince at the time, I could still make my own decisions about my princess consort."
Because the emperor was raised by the empress dowager, he could still decide on the selection of concubines.
"If your father hadn't interfered and made the Emperor act first and report later, how could I have married you?"
The Prime Minister feared that if he married his daughter to Emperor Jing, who was then a prince, the emperor would immediately establish a new ruler.
The prime minister at the time was a confidant of the emperor, which is why he agreed to bestow a marriage upon Emperor Jing and the empress.
"Hahaha, so what? A wife is a wife, and a concubine is a concubine. That lowly Consort Gui will always be a concubine. Don't even think about getting past me."
The Empress was slapped to the ground by Emperor Jing, and a few drops of blood spilled from the corner of her mouth.
He was laughing wildly at this moment, seeing Emperor Jing's face becoming increasingly embarrassed.
He said it as if in retaliation:
"I never imagined the Emperor loved the Imperial Concubine so much, hehehe... Did you know that Jia Yue isn't the Imperial Concubine's daughter..."
"I killed her daughter a long time ago, hahahaha..."
The queen laughed wildly, tears welling in her eyes.
Emperor Jing had already calmed down, and upon hearing the news, he was not as shocked as the Empress had expected; he showed almost no expression.
"Why aren't you surprised? Why aren't you sad? Don't you love Gong Peishan very much?"
"What? Was your love fake? You even deceived Gong Peishan? As expected, royalty is truly heartless..."
"Hahaha, Gong Peishan, we've both lost, we've both lost..."
The Empress got up from the ground, her eyes filled with an indescribable mix of sympathy for the Imperial Concubine and sympathy for herself.
For over a decade, she fought tooth and nail for this man, even getting blood on her hands, only to end up with nothing.
"I have known for a long time that Jia Yue is not the daughter of the Imperial Concubine."
Emperor Jing's words were like a heavy hammer blow, bringing back a sliver of reason to the mad empress.
"So what if you know? Her daughter is already dead, maybe she's been reincarnated long ago, hehehe..."
"Anle is the baby girl from back then."
Jing didn't want to continue arguing with the Empress, so he directly punched her hard.
He then revealed Jing Le's background.
Without even glancing at the stunned Empress, he lifted his foot to walk out.
What Emperor Jing did not see was that the smoke from the incense burner not far from the entrance had turned from white to black.
At this moment, they are slowly approaching Emperor Jing and the Empress.
