Two days later, Qiao Zhen's condition began to deteriorate.
She started sleeping for longer periods of time, and eventually, Qiao Zhen fell into a coma.
Ju Hong panicked and rushed out despite the housekeeper's attempts to stop her.
Unfortunately, Juhong hadn't run very far when she encountered the Third Prince and was forced to bring him back.
When the Third Prince returned and heard about what had happened in the West Garden, he was instantly enraged.
Everyone in the Third Prince's residence knelt on the ground, and even the most favored Lady Liang was forced to kneel at the entrance of the West Garden.
That night, a torrential downpour began, but the Third Prince remained unmoved, staying by Qiao Zhen's side the whole time. One imperial physician after another came, but the final result was that Qiao Zhen had been poisoned.
The poisoning is quite severe.
His life was in danger.
Even more tragically, the poisoning was so severe that it damaged Qiao Zhen's body, and even if she could be cured, it would be difficult for her to have children.
Upon hearing this, the Third Prince's residence erupted in chaos, as if struck by lightning.
Many people were happy to hear this news.
So what if she's the Third Prince's consort? The Third Prince only married her because of the General's Mansion. Now, she doesn't even have the right to be a mother anymore. What right does she have to sit in the position of the Third Prince's consort?
I used to think Qiao Zhen was really lucky to marry into the family and become the Third Prince's wife, unlike them who had been by the Third Prince's side for years and hadn't gained any benefits.
If Madam Liu hadn't died suddenly, they would still be living in poverty.
The Third Prince punished many people for this matter, and many people died as a result.
Three days later, Qiao Zhen woke up and learned about these things from Ju Hong.
"Princess Consort—" Ju Hong said, then buried her face in Qiao Zhen's chest and began to cry.
Qiao Zhen lowered her head, and no one else could see her expression. Even the maids standing next to her felt that the Third Prince's wife was too unlucky.
What good is a good family background if you still end up like this?
Ironically, after this incident, Qiao Zhen was able to get out of bed in just a few days.
His originally thin and bony appearance has gradually regained some of his original features.
That day, Qiao Zhen was in a good mood and took her maid to the garden for a stroll.
In autumn, I heard that there was a beautiful lotus flower in the Third Prince's residence.
From afar, Qiao Zhen smelled a fragrance.
This fragrance is very special; just smelling it will make you feel refreshed and relaxed.
Ju Hong, who had been dejected a few days ago, was happy to see that the young lady was better.
Now that the Third Prince spends every day in the West Garden, the way everyone in the Third Prince's residence looks at the eldest young lady has changed.
She thought that it was difficult for the eldest young lady to have children, not that she couldn't. As long as the Third Prince was around, there was no need to worry about not having children.
Qiao Zhen seemed to be attracted by the exquisite things in front of her and did not notice the thoughts in Ju Hong's mind beside her.
She arrived at the pavilion in the lotus pond, and at that moment, she felt as if she were surrounded by lotus flowers.
It is said that the lotus flower emerges from the mud unsullied; perhaps this is a reflection of myself now.
"So beautiful!" I couldn't help but exclaim.
After realizing she had been tricked, Qiao Zhen had no intention of living a peaceful life.
She used to marry someone she didn't like for the sake of her birth mother, but after discovering what her birth mother had done to her, she was heartbroken.
She thought of what Chen Siyuan had said.
Marry someone you don't love, make a huge fuss about it, and in the end, make sure they fall in love with you, trampling on their dignity.
From the moment Qiao Zhen compromised, she had no intention of being a good woman.
Just like every step I take now.
This is just the beginning; she wants to see who will have the last laugh.
As she admired the beautiful scenery before her, Qiao Zhen smiled upon hearing a sound coming from afar.
The smile in her eyes gave her a unique beauty.
"Your Highness, Madam Liang has arrived." Madam Liang was the Third Prince's favorite concubine. This time, because of the eldest daughter's matter, Madam Liang had been neglected. She arrived in a huff, which meant something bad was about to happen.
“Very good.” Qiao Zhen continued to look at the lotus flowers in the distance, seemingly talking about the flowers, yet also seemingly talking about someone.
Madam Liang arrived with eight maids, looking very imposing.
From afar, one could see a woman standing in the pavilion, accompanied only by a maid.
She looked rather pitiful, all alone.
As Madam Liang walked in, Qiao Zhen seemed to hear the noise and turned around. But as soon as she looked at her, Madam Liang's expression changed instantly. Why did she change like this?
She's so thin, practically skin and bones, yet she looks strangely beautiful.
Seeing this, my heart trembled. Could it be that the Third Prince was bewitched by her, which is why he hadn't come to see me these past few days?
Thinking of this, I hate Qiao Zhen even more.
She only got there because of her good family background; otherwise, someone like her, born out of wedlock, would never have been qualified to marry the Third Prince.
Thinking of this, he stepped forward, ready to give her a good thrashing.
She heard that the Third Prince had gone out and hadn't returned yet, and recently the entire Third Prince's residence had a lot of complaints about Qiao Zhen.
This is all because of the punishment I received that time.
Today is the perfect opportunity to teach her a lesson and let her know who the Third Prince's favorite woman is.
"Oh, isn't this our Crown Princess? What brings you out here?" Madam Liang, who considered herself beautiful, came up to Qiao Zhen and reached out to pat her on the shoulder.
Qiao Zhen stepped aside, dodging someone's wolfish claws.
Madam Liang almost fell to the ground, but fortunately, her maid was quick-witted and prevented her from being embarrassed.
"Madam Liang is too weak; she should take more medicine to nourish herself," Qiao Zhen mocked from the side.
Juhong was stunned. Was this still the young lady she knew?
"you....."
Everyone in the Third Prince's residence knew that Qiao Zhen had been poisoned and almost lost her life. Now she was alive, but sadly, she could no longer be a complete woman.
"You were the one who poisoned me, weren't you?" Qiao Zhen never held back when dealing with women who offered themselves up.
Anyway, she had nothing to be afraid of; at worst, she'd be divorced.
During this process, she had to go through a lot of trouble.
Life is just one life; you either live a miserable life or you live a life of great excitement and glory.
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Madam Liang felt that she had come at the wrong time. She originally thought that Qiao Zhen was a sick cat, but now it seemed that she was blind and had not seen the woman's ambition.
Qiao Zhen saw the panic in someone's eyes. "Do you know what the consequences will be if you poison the prince's consort?"
"Don't talk nonsense." Madam Liang broke out in a cold sweat.
"Don't you know whether you're talking nonsense or not?" Qiao Zhen said, moving closer to Madam Liang.
Forced to the edge of the pavilion, Madam Liang was about to retaliate when she suddenly saw the Third Prince passing by in the distance.
He's back, that's great.
Thinking of this, she quickly begged for mercy, "Your Highness, Your Highness, please don't talk nonsense, I really didn't do it." As she spoke, she even shed two tears to fit the mood.
"Do I need to produce evidence?" Qiao Zhen said, suddenly shoving Madam Liang, who was standing to the side. Suddenly, Madam Liang fell into the lotus pond.
