Xin He looked at her with indifference in her eyes: "There is no Prince Pingyang anymore."
Her voice was very soft, but it was still able to clearly reach Song Yalin’s ears, causing the crazed woman to look at her in horror and back away: "You’re talking nonsense, you’re talking nonsense! How can this massive Pingyang Prince Mansion simply vanish? Shut your mouth!"
There was not a trace of change in Ji Xinhe’s expression, she was as insouciant as before, her voice chilling to the bone: "Prince Pingyang no longer exists in this world. Yu State has completely separated from Da Qian, there only remains King Yu now. Where is Prince Pingyang? The reign has changed, have you not realized it in this pitch-black dungeon?"
Song Yalin was shaking her head while plugging her ears in terror, as if she was afraid to keep listening to Ji Xinhe speak, afraid she would reveal the truth.
Ji Xinhe scoffed: "So what are you, a side consort of Prince Pingyang? Even if you were granted by His Majesty, it doesn’t matter anymore. The royal mansion has no relation to you whatsoever. In Yuwang Residence, there is only one Royal Concubine Yu. Even if the child in your belly is indeed the heir of Prince Pingyang, it’s a pity that Prince Pingyang no longer exists in this world. What title do you intend for him to inherit?"
"No, it’s not true, it’s not!" Song Yalin shook her head in terror: "No, it can’t be, it’s impossible!"
A hint of mockery appeared on Ji Xinhe’s lips: "Besides, about the child in your belly, are you truly unsure if it is the so-called small prince, or a bastard left by the Rouyi Army?"
"Ah!" Song Yalin screamed, she recoiled, shouting as she retreated: "No, that’s not true! This child is the only heir of the Pingyang Prince Mansion, not some bastard! He is the prince, a noble prince, you’re talking nonsense, you’re just talking nonsense!"
Her eyes were stained blood-red, and a murderous intent flashed in her gaze staring at Ji Xinhe: "It’s all your fault, you mean person, it’s all your fault!"
Ji Xinhe looked at her appearance, it did not appear to be a ruse, she must have truly gone mad.
Xiaoyu said: "Princess, she might have truly gone mad."
Ji Xinhe nodded slightly, before she could speak, she saw Song Yalin suddenly throwing herself at the gate of the dungeon, screaming and clawing towards Ji Xinhe: "You mean person, I will kill you, I will kill you, it’s all your fault, it’s all your fault!"
But she was locked up in the prison, there was no way for her to hurt Ji Xinhe, Ji Xinhe was simply standing in place, and she could not reach her.
The secret guards and guards guarding the dungeon took a sharp intake of breath in shock.
If Ji Xinhe was harmed, they wouldn’t need to live anymore.
"Princess, it isn’t good to stay here for too long, we should leave this mad woman and go."
Xin He looked at Song Yalin coldly: "You brought all of this on yourself. Perhaps you’ve forgotten, but I gave you an opportunity in the past. If you had obediently married into the Wang Family then and lived as a rich lady, you wouldn’t be like this today. The bastard in your belly is your own choice, I reminded you how brutal the Rouyi Army could be, I also hinted to you how unreliable it was to team up with that cold and selfish emperor. You ignored everything and stubbornly went your own way, and now everything has come to this point. Do you still think it’s my fault?"
Song Yalin plugged her ears and screamed, she clearly didn’t want to hear what Ji Xinhe was saying. At this instant, she was filled with such hatred that she needed someone to vent at, whoever could bear her curse and hatred would do. She didn’t want to face the true culprits, the Rouyi Army for her desolate state, just as she didn’t want to face the bastard in her stomach, nor the Emperor Daqian, who had pushed her step by step towards the cliff. She didn’t dare to curse him, she was terrified of that man, afraid that a single curse from her would result in her immediate death.
So, she could only place all her hatred on Ji Xinhe, she cursed this woman, blaming her for her miserable fate. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚
She would rather deceive herself with this illusion, to comfort herself as much as possible, but Kid Xinhe didn’t give her that chance. She tore to shreds the illusion Song Yalin had forced herself to believe in, forcing her to confront this naked and brutal reality, driving her truly mad!
Song Yalin was shaking all over, staring at her own belly with bloodshot eyes. Suddenly, she began to hit her stomach fiercely, cursing while she did so: "Bastard, bastard! You’re the bastard of those lowly Rouyi people, I’ll kill you, I’ll kill you!"
Seeing Song Yalin’s brutality, Xiaochai couldn’t help but frown, saying to Xin He: "Princess, we should leave."
Xiaoyu asked: "Then what about Song Yalin······"
Should she be killed directly or left alive?
Before, Marquis Mu had intentionally let her live so that she could suffer in this dungeon. Partly as a form of revenge, partly to leave her final fate to be determined by Ji Xinhe. So, the power over Song Yalin’s life and death was still held by Ji Xinhe.
Xin He looked at the mad woman before her and inexplicably felt a sense of sadness. This was the daughter the Song Family had spent so many years raising, but now she had become like this. What would Madam of the Song Family and the old master feel if they saw her today?
At this moment, a guard entered and came over to Ji Xinhe to respectfully bow: "Princess, the lady from the Song family is here."
Xin He raised her eyebrows: "Madam Song is here?"
The guard truthfully reported: "The second lady of the Song family has come to visit the princess with the sixth girl of the Song family."
Ji Xinhe put on a faint smile and shook her head, but her heart was as clear as a mirror.
The sixth girl of the Song family is now engaged to Xiao Bei, and the customs of Yu State are relatively more open than those in the capital. It’s common for two families that have an engagement to frequently interact. Taking the younger members to see the elders or allowing the two of them to meet privately is usually overlooked.
This normally wouldn’t be a big deal, but at this critical moment, if the second lady of the Song family suddenly comes with the sixth girl of the Song family, they were obviously here for Song Yalin, despite claiming to simply pay respects to Ji Xinhe.
Xin He sighed softly: "There is nothing as compassionate as a parent’s love."
Ji Xinhe glanced again at the mad Song Yalin, and said: "Leave her alive for now."
She then turned around and left.
Xiaoyu and Shulan looked at each other, and they understood that the Princess probably intended to spare Song Yalin’s life. Considering her past relationship with Madam Song, the Princess had shown mercy once more.
Xiaoyu shook her head and said: "Never mind, this woman’s current state is probably more painful than death. Killing her would only cause sorrow for Madam Song. In light of that, it’s better to let Madam Song be relieved and let Song Yalin continue to live to face her sins."
