"Think it over before you speak, or else..." he said, glancing at the two severed heads on the ground.
Jiang Manyun stared blankly at the severed head before her, then at the still convulsing body, unsure how to react.
"This is just the beginning. Next will be your mother, and the next will be your dear brother."
Jiang Manyun was terrified and instinctively shook her head.
Princess Honglian squatted down and looked at Jiang Manyun, pinching her chin hard. "Think it over before you speak."
Jiang Manyun shook her head, crying, "I don't know, I really don't know."
Princess Honglian smiled, got up and left.
Xiao Yu'er, who had just killed Lan'er and Mei'er, came up to Jiang Manyun, bent down and looked her in the eye. Her eyes did not show the madness of Princess Honglian, but rather a hint of a smile.
Jiang Manyun was so frightened that she kept backing away.
The entire inner room was so small, where could she possibly hide? Soon, her body was close to the bed, and there was nowhere left to hide.
Terrified, she immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "I don't know, I really don't know anything, please forgive me, Auntie."
Xiaoyu'er had limited patience. She grabbed Jiang Manyun's hair, forcing her closer. When she got close, she lowered her voice and said, "I should thank you."
Jiang Manyun's pupils widened instantly as she looked at Xiaoyuer as if she were looking at a demon.
She had done so much for Princess Honglian, how could she not know that Princess Honglian valued Da Yu'er more? Now that Da Yu'er was dead, Xiao Yu'er had finally risen to prominence.
Logically speaking, she had done Xiaoyu'er a favor, so no matter how scared Jiang Manyun was at this moment, she wouldn't say anything.
He shook his head vigorously, "I don't know, I really don't know anything."
Jiang Manyun underestimated the people who came from the palace.
Anyone who has survived in the palace to this day, even a lowly palace maid or eunuch, has gone through hell on earth to survive.
have no idea.
I know nothing.
It was precisely this sentence that betrayed her.
Xiaoyu released Jiang Manyun and saw her kowtowing repeatedly on the ground, repeating the same sentence over and over. She smiled coldly.
Without saying a word, she forcefully placed the dagger that was originally in her hand into Jiang Manyun's hand.
Jiang Manyun was completely forced into this situation. She stared at the dagger in her hand, recalling what Chen Siyuan had once said. She felt despair, but also utter fear.
After Xiaoyu left, she remained in the same position for a long time, until she was sure that the person had really left.
She staggered to the door, shouted at the outside, and hearing the commotion, she quickly wiped her fingerprints off the dagger and plunged it into her heart through the fabric.
Having worked for Princess Honglian for many years, she had also killed people and knew the techniques of killing.
She dodged a fatal blow, but ended up seriously injuring herself.
Otherwise, how could she have avoided a lawsuit involving two lives?
In the past, she would not leave any evidence when she killed someone. Today, it was Princess Honglian who made the move, and many people must already be on their way. She must save herself.
I hope my mother can arrive in time, so that I might still have a chance to live.
Jiang Manyun kept lying by the door, trying her best to stay upright.
She has survived all these years not because she lacks her own means, but because she speaks of humility, unlike Princess Honglian who is high and mighty.
Having gone through this experience, she completely believed that she was merely a tool of Princess Honglian, and that when she had no further use, her life was as insignificant as an ant's.
If that's the case, why doesn't she just go all out?
Just when she could no longer hold on, seeing someone running towards her, she slowly closed her eyes.
......
The Imperial Palace.
The Cold Palace.
"What did you say?" Consort Qing, dressed in coarse cloth, asked Zhao, the old nanny beside her.
She was suddenly banished to the Cold Palace, with only Zhao Mama by her side.
From the moment she married into the palace, she had always worked diligently. Suddenly encountering such a change, she, being proud, could not bear it.
Granny Zhao knelt on the ground, not daring to speak.
She was caught off guard by the sudden turn of events and couldn't recover.
My former close girlfriends have all started to avoid me.
In just a few days, she learned that the palace was a place that devoured people.
Consort Qing slowly rose to her feet. Without her magnificent attire and the adornment of her jewels, her aged appearance gradually became apparent.
Look up and look outside.
The Cold Palace, a true Cold Palace.
I never imagined that her careful planning would lead her to this point.
The events that occurred at Ping'an Temple that day deeply shocked her, and she knew that things would be difficult once she returned to the palace.
Who would have thought that her original plan to maneuver after returning to the palace would be thwarted by the emperor, who gave her no chance at all?
He himself was banished to the cold palace, and his daughter also wanted to become a nun.
How can this be?
Thinking about this makes me even more resentful.
If Mrs. Qiao hadn't been so weak back then, things wouldn't have come to this.
Originally, Madam Qiao had promised her that she would marry her daughter into the General's Mansion. She would then mediate and make Qiao Yuchen the Imperial Son-in-Law. With her connections in the palace, she would make sure the Imperial Son-in-Law did not end up achieving nothing.
Who would have thought things would turn out this way?
"Go find the general's wife and make her keep her promise."
"Yes," Zhao Mama replied and left.
There's nothing she can do now. The masters of the palace all avoid her. She's begged everyone, but all she gets is avoidance and ridicule. She's given up hope.
Thinking of the General's wife, who was the younger sister of Consort Qing, she must be very anxious about what had happened.
Using her connections in the palace over the years, Granny Zhao quietly left under the cover of night.
At this moment, Consort Qing remained in the same posture as before.
She believed that her younger sister would surely find a way to get her out of this cold palace.
As long as she leaves this place and starts working again, her daughter won't become a nun; instead, she'll marry into the general's family.
Then, I'll find another excuse to divorce that country woman, and her daughter can...
She desperately tried to think of a way to turn things around, but a long time passed and she still hadn't seen Granny Zhao return.
She waited until dawn, but still didn't see any sign of Granny Zhao.
She was exhausted after standing all night, and later dragged her tired body to rest for a while.
As for Granny Zhao, she believed that if the matter was entrusted to her, she would definitely be able to handle it well.
The general's wife is his own sister, and she owes him such a huge favor. Given the general's guilt towards her, if he says a few good words to the emperor, she can leave the palace.
General.
Not an ordinary person.
Qiao Yuchen is still fighting desperately for the Shang Kingdom at the border. This time, General Qiao is unable to go on the expedition because of a chronic illness.
With these two points, there's no reason why you shouldn't succeed.
She rested inside for a while, and when she woke up again, she felt hungry.
I thought that Granny Zhao had already returned and was preparing food for me.
Unexpectedly, when she pushed open the door, she saw Granny Zhao kneeling at the doorway, who had died sometime earlier.
He staggered back two steps, then fell to the ground.
