The crown prince certainly wouldn't kill the man at this moment; he wasn't stupid.
What's the point of killing a subservient palace maid if the mastermind behind it hasn't been identified?
He wanted to make the person behind this and the palace maid pay with their lives in order to avenge himself.
With so many people in the Eastern Palace, and everyone registered, it wouldn't be difficult to find a palace maid.
At this point, the crown prince discovered that this palace maid had a past connection with him.
She was one of the palace maids who educated the crown prince about human affairs.
Unfortunately, he wasn't interested in these things.
His father was indiscriminate in his desires and never cared about the occasion. When he saw a woman he liked, he couldn't wait to take off his clothes immediately.
The crown prince once witnessed this when he was young.
From that time on, he felt utterly disgusted by such things.
When he was sixteen, the empress noticed that her son still had no interest in seeking out women, so she arranged for a palace maid to teach him about human affairs.
In fact, the other princes had already been taught to do this years ago, and some have even married and had children by now.
Unfortunately, if he's not interested, he's not interested. The Crown Prince never makes concessions for anyone, not even his mother.
The Crown Prince did not inquire where those palace maids were sent afterward.
Only now did he learn that some of them had been placed in the Eastern Palace and became ordinary palace maids.
The crown prince was reborn at the age of nineteen, and the palace maid is now twenty-five years old.
At twenty-five, she should have been able to leave the palace, but her status as the Crown Prince's woman confined her—she couldn't leave the palace.
Even if the Crown Prince didn't touch her, she was assigned to the Eastern Palace as a maidservant in charge of the Crown Prince's bedchamber, which meant she was destined to grow old and die in the palace.
The crown prince is not weak-willed.
In fact, he has always been unpredictable.
He had hidden it well before, but after being ambushed, he simply let his temper loosen up a bit.
Anyway, the Empress will not give up on him, nor will her maternal clan. No matter how others see him, they will not like him, whether he is obedient or rebellious.
After finding the palace maid, the Crown Prince remained still and, following the trajectory of his previous life, transferred her to serve him and treated her with the same attitude as before.
Later, he indeed discovered something amiss.
Just as he had predicted, the palace maid had indeed been bribed by the prince born to the imperial concubine.
The prince's promise was very simple: he simply told the palace maid that as long as she obeyed his orders, he would grant her her freedom.
In order to leave the palace, the palace maid did not hesitate to give the medicine to the crown prince.
The crown prince did not interfere with her actions, so in the end, the woman's fate was naturally to leave this world.
The crown prince, after a year of planning, successfully avenged himself, killing all those he wanted to kill and ascending the throne.
In fact, he was not a very good emperor.
His eccentric personality was amplified after he became the ruler of the world.
But he was indeed talented in governing the country, and soon the country was at peace.
Unfortunately, even after the crown prince ascended the throne, he still showed little interest in women.
The female protagonist is a strategist with a system.
She possessed an innate golden touch; while the Crown Prince was weak-willed around others, he was unconsciously drawn to her.
Later, the female lead successfully became empress, but failed her mission because she did not gain enough favor with the crown prince.
The reason is simple: the crown prince is someone who is completely beyond the control of others.
He didn't even feel particularly happy about becoming emperor, so how could he be captivated by a woman?
Therefore, this original work carries a certain satirical meaning. The author is satirizing those Mary Sue stories where the female protagonist has a cheat code and wins over the male protagonist.
In fact, if a person has enough initiative and drive, strong will, and a stable mindset, then a magic touch won't change them.
The crown prince is a typical example.
The story ends with the crown prince ruling as emperor for his entire life, choosing an heir and passing the throne to him. He then passes away peacefully from illness at nearly a hundred years old.
Because the female protagonist failed to win over the system, she had no choice but to return to the system space to accept punishment.
The crown prince, a man who was not won over, was remembered by the female protagonist.
There's nothing we can do if we can't figure out how to win them over, so let's all just go our separate ways.
Jiang Tian and the original female lead are not in the same dimension, nor do they serve the same system. The two of them have no connection.
The strategy for completing missions depends entirely on individual ability.
The crown prince's personality destined him to be someone who could not be easily won over.
As for the male supporting character, he is the female lead's sworn brother. As a general, he becomes her support.
He had a crush on the female lead for a long time, but ultimately nothing came of it, since the female lead's only target was the male lead.
[Targets for romance: Male lead Murong Lie, male supporting character Lin Wangjin]
………………
This time, Jiang Tian did indeed dress up as the palace maid in charge of the bedchamber.
The time period she traveled to was the time when the Crown Prince had just been reborn and found her whereabouts.
Actually, Jiang Tian's original life was quite tragic. Due to her poor family background, she was forced to enter the palace as a maid.
She thought that when she reached a certain age she could leave the palace and live her own life, but unexpectedly, because of her honest appearance and plump figure, she was chosen by the Empress to become the Crown Prince's first maid.
But the crown prince didn't need someone like her at all, so she was sidelined.
There were countless palace maids like her in the palace.
It was absolutely impossible for Jiang Tian to escape from the palace.
The strict imperial palace would not give a lowly palace maid any room to escape.
She lived in the Eastern Palace, but her life was not good.
The palace maids and eunuchs who worked with her bullied her, and since she had no skills herself, she could only endure it silently.
Later, the third prince, born to the imperial concubine, gave her a chance, saying he could help her escape, and she naturally agreed without hesitation.
In her view, with the old emperor gone and the crown prince seemingly idle and aimless, spending his days in the Eastern Palace doing who-knows-what, such a monarch was definitely not a wise ruler.
With the crown prince as the new emperor, this dynasty was destined to perish.
In that case, she might as well listen to the prince and poison the crown prince as soon as possible.
Once the Crown Prince dies and the Third Prince fulfills his promise, she can leave.
Jiang Tian's idea was very simple.
The thought of spending her entire life buried in the palace, doing menial work, made her unwilling.
She was in great pain when her parents sold her.
The feeling of being imprisoned is something that even a lowly palace maid wouldn't take seriously if she expressed it.
Why couldn't she tolerate so many servants?
So she might as well take advantage of her ability and escape as soon as possible, even if she has to die, she wants to die outside.
Of course, Jiang Tian hadn't read many books, lacked a broad perspective, and couldn't see through the true nature of the palace intrigues.
