Hearing this, Jiang Xianhao couldn't help but sneer inwardly, but her face remained calm.
"Why."
Jiang Xianhao sighed.
"This Miss Gu is also pitiful, suffering this undeserved calamity for no reason."
"If she hadn't been quick-witted and had a weapon, she would probably be dead by now."
"And Seele, she's only five years old, and she still doesn't let her go. It's really outrageous."
For Emperor Rongcheng, Gu Jinxi was the most important person. Hearing this, his hatred intensified, and he couldn't help but say:
“A woman with such a vicious mind as Situ Mingji should never become the Crown Princess.”
As he spoke, he looked at Li Ce again.
"Find a man from another place with a similar family background but poor character, and I will personally bestow a marriage upon him."
Li Ce nodded immediately and withdrew to make the arrangements.
Hearing this, Jiang Xianhao felt much better and stopped trying to avoid Emperor Rongcheng's hand.
Meanwhile, Shen Hechuan also received the news soon afterward.
After confirming that all of this was inextricably linked to Situ Mingji, Shen Hechuan was furious and directly gave the order:
"Since she enjoys killing so much, let her experience what it's like to be killed too."
"Make preparations on her way back, and make sure she gets a good taste of this."
"Oh, and don't forget to set fire to her yard too."
After saying that, he still felt unsatisfied and added:
“Lord Situ has been too idle lately, which is why he can’t manage his daughter. Why don’t we find him more things to do?”
Upon hearing this, Tianji couldn't help but twitch at the corner of his mouth.
She thought to herself, even if it means offending Shen Hechuan, it's better than offending Gu Jingchun.
The price of offending Gu Jingchun is far greater than the price of offending Shen Hechuan.
You might die without even knowing how.
Meanwhile, Gu Jingchun had already guessed that this was definitely the work of Situ Mingji.
Therefore, Gu Jingchun specially prepared a big gift for her.
She won't kill her directly.
And they'll even give her a child!
A child who broke her down.
Since Situ Mingji is so ruthless that she won't even spare a child, then she'll give her a child first, and then let her kill that child with her own hands.
This isn't because Gu Jingchun is heartless.
It was Situ Mingji's fault, she shouldn't have touched Gu Jinxi.
Therefore, after the palace banquet ended that day, Situ Mingji could no longer hide the smile on his face as he came out of the palace.
Surprisingly, today's plan went quite smoothly.
It's a real pity that they couldn't kill Gu Jingchun and her son directly.
Fortunately, it wasn't entirely without any gains.
At the very least, it made Emperor Rongcheng aware that Gu Jingchun was an ominous star, successfully depriving Gu Jingchun of the possibility of marrying Shen Hechuan.
Moreover, he also took the opportunity to eliminate Gu Yunjin, thus preventing the possibility of being threatened by her in the future.
She was sitting in the carriage, still basking in her own satisfaction, when suddenly the carriage stopped.
Situ Mingji was startled and was about to ask what had happened when the carriage curtain was suddenly opened and a man rushed in.
"How dare you!"
"you……"
Her maidservant tried to stop her, but the man slapped her unconscious and threw her out.
Then, his gaze went straight to Situ Mingji.
Situ Mingji was completely terrified. He instinctively backed away and clung to the carriage wall, trembling.
"Who are you?"
"What are you trying to do? Let me tell you, I'm not an ordinary person, I'm an imperial censor... Ah!"
Before she could finish her sentence, the man suddenly rushed up and pinned her down.
Despite her struggles to stop him, how could she possibly be a match for a grown man?
Soon, only her screams remained inside the carriage.
An hour later, the screams gradually subsided.
The man pulled up his trousers as he stepped out of the carriage, completely ignoring the occasional passersby who glanced at him.
He touched his face contentedly, turned his head and spat out a mouthful of saliva, then casually patted the guard lying on the ground a few times.
The guards then slowly opened their eyes.
Even the maid slowly woke up.
The group exchanged bewildered glances before realizing what had happened, and immediately opened the carriage doors to look at Situ Mingji.
But they found that Situ Mingji was already dressed and sitting there with a pale face.
Upon seeing the maid approach, she immediately rebuked her.
"Where have you all been? Get out of here!"
The maid paused for a moment, noticing her reddened eyes, disheveled hair, and the suggestive marks on her neck.
She opened her mouth.
But when she met her cold, sharp gaze, she dared not say anything more, immediately closed the carriage door, and told the driver to hurry up.
The coachman, unaware of what had happened, immediately raised his whip and rode off again upon receiving instructions.
However, they hadn't gone far when the carriage stopped again as soon as it turned into an alley.
"What's wrong now?"
Situ Mingji was on the verge of a breakdown and immediately shouted angrily.
However, as soon as she finished speaking, a long sword pierced straight through her, narrowly missing her face before striking the arm of the carriage.
Situ Mingji's face turned pale with fright, his expression changed drastically, and he trembled as he huddled in the corner.
It was then that she heard the sounds of fighting outside the carriage.
She didn't bring many guards this time, but the other side was obviously numerous, and each of them was a master. Her guards were no match for them at all.
Upon seeing this, Situ Mingji intended to leave secretly.
Unexpectedly, the car door was opened from the outside, and a man in black rushed in, raising his long sword and thrusting it at her.
Situ Mingji was terrified and, disregarding everything else, immediately pulled the maid beside him over to shield him.
"puff--"
The long sword pierced the maid's chest, and she coughed up a mouthful of blood, dying instantly.
Situ Mingji, however, escaped a calamity because of this.
Seeing that Situ Mingji was still alive, the man in black raised his sword again. Situ Mingji knew that he was doomed and closed his eyes tightly in fear.
Just then, a series of footsteps sounded outside.
What are you all doing?
Who are you people?
It turned out that the patrolmen from Tiandu happened to be passing by when they discovered the anomaly and rushed over, thus saving Situ Mingji's life.
Only after all the men in black had left did Situ Mingji climb out of the carriage.
Seeing the corpses all around her, she trembled with fear, her vision blurred, and she lost consciousness.
However, her suffering was far from over.
She thought that after she returned to the manor, her father would definitely help her thoroughly investigate the matter and avenge her.
Unexpectedly, upon waking up, they learned that their entire house had been burned down.
All her clothes and jewelry were reduced to ashes in the fire.
Moreover, my father has been impeached recently, perhaps because he has offended someone.
