Qin Pianyue shook her head desperately. She would not kill her, but sometimes death was more terrifying than life.
"Why? Why were you born into a noble family, while I'm just a concubine's daughter? I just wanted to climb up the social ladder. What have I done wrong?"
"Qin Pianyue, I sympathize with you. You did nothing wrong. What's wrong is your attitude. You should have a bottom line on what you can and can't do. If you had used your advanced knowledge to improve the world, you wouldn't have ended up like this. Finally, let me say this: men are not everything to you, and you don't really like Bai Chenshu."
Qin Pianyue seemed to have figured something out, she had nowhere else to go...
Jiang Qiao stood up, speaking in a relaxed tone, as if she was talking about something very ordinary. "Come here, Qin Pianyue... What excuse can you give? Qin Pianyue attempted to murder the prince and was investigated by this princess. Her tongue was cut off and she was sent back to the Shangshu Mansion."
The door was pushed open by the guard, and a gust of wind blew in, messing up the papers on the desk.
The piece of paper Jiang Qiao had just written on was blown in front of Qin Pianyue. Qin Pianyue picked it up and saw what was written on it. She curled her lips and said, "Jiang Qiao, your cruelty is worthy of your position. I hope you don't fall too badly."
"Then you don't have to worry."
After that, he ordered those people, "What are you still standing there for? Drag him out."
Qin Pianyue struggled a few times, but was completely unable to move. She left her last words before her tongue was cut off.
"Jiang Qiao, I'll give you a big gift later. I hope you'll be happy!"
What followed was a bloody scene.
Jiang Qiao in the room didn't worry at all. She was not afraid of anything now!
"Rain stars."
"Princess, please give me your orders." Her voice was trembling, and she was a little scared.
Jiang Qiao sensed the girl's fear and pulled her closer, "Yuxing, do you think this princess is scary?"
"No, I was just frightened by seeing such a bloody scene for the first time."
Jiang Qiao certainly didn't believe it. After all, she was still a child, so it was normal for her to be afraid. "I know I'm bad, but I don't regret it. People must be punished for their mistakes, and so am I. You were brought into the palace by Yu Mama. If you don't like me, I can send you back."
Yuxing knelt down and said, "No, Princess, I won't go back. I want to stay here. You are very kind to me. I have never seen a master cook for a servant. In my heart, you are a very good person."
Jiang Qiao helped her up again, "Alright, since you've chosen to stay here, you have to listen to me."
Yuxing wiped her tears and said, "Princess, please give me your orders!"
Jiang Qiao handed her the blood-stained paper and said, "Go to different clinics outside the palace to get all these medicines, and then bring them to me."
"What's this?"
"Poison, what's up? Do you want to go? If not, I'll call Yunyan."
Yuxing folded the paper and put it in her arms, her eyes determined, "Go!"
…
Outside the palace.
Qin Pianyue had blood at the corners of her mouth and was thrown at the door by the guards.
Many people gathered around to watch the fun.
"What's going on?"
"I don't know, let's see!"
"What's going on in the palace lately? I heard today that the emperor deposed Concubine Zhu, whom he had favored for many years, and even exiled the Prime Minister's Mansion!"
"It's not that easy to stay in this palace. There are so many right and wrong things!"
…
Qin Pianyue opened her mouth and sobbed, but blood kept flowing out. No one knew what she was saying?
Until she took out a piece of paper, which she had prepared for herself before going to Changle Palace.
She threw the paper into the crowd and rushed towards the city gate the next second. The guards had no time to stop her.
Jiang Qiao, I hope you like this gift. Can An Huai Kingdom really accept such a vicious princess?
"Ah, the eldest princess again!"
"She's hurting people again!"
"It is the misfortune of Anhuai Kingdom to have such a princess!"
"It brings disaster to the country and the people!"
…
It was clearly written on the note: This humble servant died in vain, the eldest princess harmed me!
When a dying man is about to speak good words, this sentence plants an evil seed in the hearts of these people.
Hall of Mental Cultivation.
"Rebellious girl! Is she planning a rebellion? The second daughter of the Qin family was appointed an official by me personally, and she forced someone to death today. Is she blaming me?"
When Jiang Ji heard the news, he got furious again!
"Your Majesty, please calm down. Perhaps there is something else going on."
"What could be the hidden secret? I just felt sorry for them all these years and released her from house arrest, and today this happened! In my opinion, she should be kept under house arrest for another six months!"
Li Dequan stopped talking.
A young eunuch ran in and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Zhu... is crying and wants to see you. She said that if you don't come, she will... die."
Li Dequan scolded him, "Don't you see the emperor is angry? Go down first!"
Jiang Ji saw the picture of the beauty again. He knew that he still had real feelings for Lou Zhuxin, otherwise he would not have spared her life.
"Li Dequan, come with me to take a look!"
"yes!"
Cold Palace.
It was indeed lonely here. There was not even a tree in the yard, and the ground was covered with snow.
The inner hall was also very dirty, with spider webs all over the place.
Lou Zhuxin was still wearing the brocade clothes bestowed by the emperor, and she looked completely out of place here. She sat in front of the dressing table, staring at herself in the bronze mirror, tears falling drop by drop.
Overnight, she lost everything! Jiang Ji didn't want her anymore!
Aunt Liu walked in, "My Lady, the Emperor is here!"
Lou Zhu stood up happily and looked up at Jiang Ji.
"Your Majesty, are you here to take me back? I promise, I promise to get along well with the Queen in the future. I will do whatever she asks me to do. I also know I was wrong. I will kneel down to apologize to the eldest prince and pray for him. I am willing to do anything as long as I can stay by your side. Besides, we still have Yongning, she can't live without her mother!"
Jiang Ji was speechless. He felt sorry for Lou Zhuxin, but she had made too many mistakes.
Murdering the royal heir and the empress dowager, and the harem interfering in government affairs, which one of them is not a serious crime!
Lou Zhuxin continued to plead, "Your Majesty, are you really willing to give up the love we've had for so many years? You said you would marry me as your principal wife, but in the end, I was still a concubine. I know your pain and I don't blame you, but why is Bai Mian the principal wife? Why her?"
Jiang Ji finally spoke, "Why can't it be her? You two have never had any conflicts!"
Excessive thinking made her unable to distinguish reality. She had kept this secret in her heart for many years and dared not tell anyone.
Lou Zhuxin was in a daze at the moment, as if she was awake, but also as if she was in a dream. Years of pressure mixed with resentment made her speak without thinking.
"Your Majesty, do you know? In this world, I have never envied anyone so much, nor have I hated anyone so much. Bai Mian has a perfect family background, is loved by her father and brothers, and is extremely talented. Everyone wants to be friends with her. Compared to her, I am like an ant on the ground, unbearable in every way. I know why the emperor loves me so much, it's just because of the painting of the beauty back then. Without that painting, the emperor might not even remember who I am. But, Your Majesty, do you know? That painting is not mine, it's Bai Mian's. So the emperor has loved the wrong person all these years. Thinking about it, this is actually quite ridiculous!"
"Sometimes I really envy her. She can conquer you with just a painting, but I also sympathize with her. She has been trampled under the feet of a fake like me all these years. Your Majesty, do you think I should blame her?"
