Chapter 482: A Thousand Years Old (3)
He was undeniably thin, his face deathly pale, the kind of sickly beauty who looked like a gust of wind could blow him away. Wen Wan felt a shameful pity for him, inwardly screaming, "What did he do wrong? It was the original owner of this body who was tortured, what does it have to do with her, an outsider?" She even began to resent the original owner. Such a handsome face, such a delicate and beautiful man, how could she possibly have the heart to torment him? She really had no heart!
"Get up." Looking at the male protagonist kneeling on the ground, Wen Wan's tone inevitably softened.
Gu Li frowned.
Xiao Cui glared at Gu Li, "Didn't you hear what Master said? I told you to get up."
Gu Li stood up.
How are you feeling?
Gu Li: "Reporting to Master, it's all better now."
"That's good. You need to get your health back so you can do what you want to do."
Gu Li: "???"
Xiao Cui looked at her mistress with a puzzled expression. Wen Wan sighed, "After this ordeal, I've come to understand. All the glory I have is not something I earned myself; it was given to me by my father and mother. So, if he wants to take it away, it's just a matter of a word. I've lost everything. So, from now on, I will completely change myself. Xiao Cui, you are the person I trust the most, just like my mother and wet nurse. As for Gu Li, I was wrong before. I thought you were sent by my father to humiliate me and laugh at me. Now I understand. You can't control your own destiny either. I shouldn't have taken my anger out on you. From now on, you and Xiao Cui are both my family. The three of us will definitely live well and make a name for ourselves."
Gu Li: "???"
Looking at Qi Yu in front of him, Gu Li realized for the first time that he couldn't see through a person at all.
It's not that she's too complicated, but rather... too innocent. Her eyes are pure, like two pieces of glass, reflecting all the filth. The former crown prince had the appearance of a delicate and lovely girl, lacking any masculine features, and instead looked like a woman, a boy with feminine features.
Who would have thought that this prince, who looked like a boy but was actually a woman?
The former crown prince was full of arrogance and indulgence, and carried an indelible cruelty.
All the changes came on the night of his assassination attempt.
So is this Chyi Yu really the same annoying Chyi Yu from before?
Wen Wan had no idea that her disguise was already starting to fall apart, and the male lead was beginning to suspect her identity.
The days in the Cold Palace were destined to be anything but peaceful, especially since she was a deposed crown prince with a sensitive identity. Moreover, the original owner had offended too many people before, and now that she was down on her luck, there were plenty of people who wanted to crush her.
Sure enough, after only two days of peace, some people couldn't sit still any longer and came to investigate.
The one who came was the Seventh Princess, Qi Mingzhu, who was only ten years old, and her mother was Consort Rong.
Consort Rong was favored and constantly suppressed by the Empress. The two were old enemies who couldn't stand each other, and this hatred extended to their offspring. The Empress gave birth to a Crown Prince, while Consort Rong only had a daughter. She tried countless medicines to have a son, but to no avail. She was filled with hatred.
This led the Seventh Princess to believe that her mother disliked her because of the Crown Prince. As for the original owner of this body, she bullied the Seventh Princess in every way.
The whip struck Wen Wan's newly grown bok choy directly, snapping off a piece instantly.
Xiao Cui stepped forward to stop her, but Qi Mingzhu lashed her back with a whip.
"Who do you think you are, daring to stop me?"
Wen Wan heard this as soon as she stepped out the door, and couldn't help but sigh. How could someone so young be so vicious? She and the original owner were practically a pair of vicious female supporting characters. Qi Mingzhu's future ending wouldn't be good either.
After all, the Empress lost, and Consort Rong didn't fare well either. The Third Prince, who later became Emperor Qi Jiao, was born to Consort Rong's maid. She was later favored by the Emperor, which led to the birth of the Third Prince.
Afterwards, she poisoned the Third Prince's biological mother and raised her to help her seize the throne. Little did she know, the Third Prince had always known this, but he remained in hiding, appearing respectful on the surface. In reality, the first people he targeted when he ascended the throne were Consort Rong and her daughter. Consort Rong was forced to be buried alive with the late emperor, while the Seventh Princess was sent to a remote and desolate place for a political marriage. Her later fate was not good.
So why make things difficult for the villainous female supporting character?
Let's join hands, be good people, and then we can have a good ending.
At ten years old, in modern times, she would still be a schoolchild. Wen Wan felt it was necessary to give her a helping hand before she went astray.
So the Seventh Princess waited for the deposed crown prince to find fault with her, just like before, except this time, she could torment the deposed crown prince at will.
As a result, the deposed crown prince grabbed his hand.
Then he snatched the whip away, saying, "What kind of dangerous weapon is this for a little kid to play with? Someone as cute and adorable as you should be playing with dolls, not whips."
Qi Mingzhu: "???"
"Chyi Yu, what exactly do you want to do?"
Then her cheek was pinched, and Qi Mingzhu's face turned red with anger. "Qi Yu, I'm going to kill you—"
As a result, Wen Wan grabbed her. What a joke! If she couldn't even hold onto a child, she would have lived all these years in vain.
The palace maid behind Qi Mingzhu was about to step forward when Wen Wan glared at her. "Although I am no longer the crown prince, my father is still the emperor. As long as he doesn't demote me to a commoner, I am still a prince of the country. You, a mere palace maid, dare to touch me?"
Palace maid: "!!!"
Wen Wan then smiled at Qi Mingzhu, "Zhuzhu! Look, these are the vegetables that your brother planted for half a month, and you've ruined them all. Shouldn't you compensate him? That's the responsibility a good child should have. You wouldn't be so irresponsible, would you?"
"What did you say? You, a prince, have been reduced to growing vegetables?"
Wen Wan shed two bitter tears. "Zhuzhu, you don't know, my brother is having a very hard time right now. He has no food to eat and no water to drink. If he wants vegetables, he has to grow them himself, and if he wants meat, he has to raise chickens himself. So please don't cause trouble for my brother. You're a good child, you certainly wouldn't do such a vicious thing as kicking someone when they're down, would you?"
Qi Mingzhu: "???"
My mind is a little foggy. "Are you admitting defeat to me?"
"Yes, Your Majesty was wrong, please forgive Your Majesty." Wen Wan said sincerely, but her hands did not stop. The child's cheeks were soft and her body smelled sweet, it was a waste not to rub her.
"Since you admit defeat, I'm leaving."
Qi Mingzhu was about to leave when Wen Wan hugged her. "What are you doing? Are you going to bully this princess again?"
Wen Wan: "Zhuzhu! Your brother's bok choy, which he planted for half a month, has been ruined. Your brother apologized to Zhuzhu for his past mistakes. As a good child and a forgiving princess, shouldn't Zhuzhu also make amends for her mistakes?"
Qi Mingzhu was completely taken aback.
They even thought the deposed crown prince made sense.
"How much do you want? I'll pay you back."
As she spoke, she took off a jade bracelet from her wrist, which Wen Wan quickly took. "Zhuzhu, shouldn't you help your brother plant vegetables? Planting vegetables is so much fun! Look what this is!"
Wen Wan took out a cabbage seed.
"You've never seen this before, have you? This is what the cabbage you interrupted earlier looked like when it was young. Isn't it amazing? From such a tiny head, it grew into an edible cabbage. Watching it grow little by little must be very rewarding, right? And you get to eat what you grew yourself. That's quite an achievement! My father once gave me a test in growing vegetables. Only then can I become a qualified crown prince, a qualified prince. As my father's good daughter, and a princess, surely you know how to grow vegetables, don't you?"
