Chapter 250 In her past life, she abandoned her husband and children.
Xiao Xuance placed a black piece on the chessboard and said leisurely, "An agreement is only an agreement if both parties abide by it; if one party tears it up, it's just a piece of waste paper."
"Your Highness sees things clearly. The Great Jing is born on the grasslands, and the whole nation is a soldier. They are all tall, strong, and fierce. No matter how brave and skilled the Xiao family army is, without a good commander, they are no match for them. We can use the rebel army to tie down part of the Xiao family army in Jiangnan, and wait for Your Highness to rise up."
"What? Xue'er didn't tell the Prince about the future battle situation in the north?"
Who can predict the future?
Zhao Xuan deduced two reasons based on his reaction.
First, Yun Jiaoyue is mistaken; Yun Zhaoxue is not a reincarnation.
Secondly, Yun Zhaoxue was reborn and didn't tell Xiao Xuance anything.
If Xiao Xuance knew his fate in his previous life, he would never have harbored any disloyal thoughts and would never have broken with him.
This suited him perfectly.
Zhao Xuan smiled mysteriously and lowered his voice, "Does Your Highness believe in rebirth? Someone told me that next spring, the Great Jing cavalry will march south and attack the capital. The Xiao family army will be either dead, wounded, or fleeing. If Your Highness wants to save their lives, you should keep them in Jiangnan. I only tell you this because I consider Your Highness one of my own."
“My second brother is greedy for merit and warlike. He will definitely send troops in this battle. Contact your trusted old subordinates in the army and have them deliberately lose a few battles. This time we will definitely be able to bring him down.”
"Your Highness, the opportunity for revenge is right before your eyes. If you don't seize it now, who knows when you'll get another chance? Do you want the Prince of Zhenbei to be unable to rest in peace after his death?"
Yun Jiaoyue told him that in his previous life, the second prince was captured by the enemy army and then released. He then colluded with Da Jing to seize his throne.
Rather than waiting to be threatened in the future, it's better to use the Xiao family to get rid of him now.
...
Upstairs, Yun Jiaoyue boasted to Yun Zhaoxue, "Big sister, I have good news to tell you. The Yun family and the Jiangling Marquis's mansion are getting married. You must take good care of yourself and come to attend big brother's wedding!"
“I’m not going. He’s your older brother, not mine.”
"Big sister, what you're saying hurts me. Although you're not Father's biological daughter, we've been together for over ten years, and in my heart you'll always be my family."
"I see now. You came here today just to brag about how good your relationship with the Third Prince is, and to show off that you have a brother to back you up. Congratulations on getting what you wanted. Now that you've said your piece, can you get out of here? So annoying... cough cough..." Yun Zhaoxue propped herself up on the bed with her elbows and threw the hot towel off her forehead at her.
"Smack!"
The hot towel hit her, leaving a wet mark and splashing water droplets.
Yun Jiaoyue screamed, "Ah!"
She hurriedly took out a handkerchief to wipe herself. This outfit was newly bought, made of the finest material. She wore it today to show off in front of Yun Zhaoxue, and planned to wear it again on her elder brother's wedding day to outshine everyone.
She's infuriating! That damn bitch must be jealous of how good she looks because she's pregnant and her figure is bloated.
Just like in her previous life, she's all bravado and no brains, and looks down on everyone.
Sooner or later, Yun Zhaoxue will pay the price for her actions. Her two sons were manipulated by the Xiao family's enemies, committed many wrongdoings, and could not turn back. They deserved to die, hahaha!
"Cough cough..."
Yun Zhaoxue on the bed coughed violently, her pale face turning red. "Get her out of here, I don't want to see her."
"Third sister-in-law, don't be angry, don't be angry. It's not worth getting angry and ruining your health over those irrelevant people."
Yun Jiaoyue suppressed her anger and said softly, "Big sister, you should rest well. I won't disturb you any longer."
"go out!"
Yun Jiaoyue and her maidservant left.
Xiao Mingshu rushed over and closed the door, muttering to herself as she looked outside, "What kind of person is this? We've already told them to leave, but they still stubbornly refuse to go."
Yun Jiaoyue lowered her eyes, a hint of hurt flashing in them; she was downcast and absent-minded.
The maidservant spoke up for her, saying, "Your Highness, you are the Princess Consort, and she is the Crown Prince's wife. Your status is above hers, so why should you lower yourself to please her?"
"That's right, good intentions are wasted. I feel sorry for the princess."
Yun Jiaoyue turned around and scolded the maid, "Stop talking. We're sisters, and Her Highness is on good terms with the Crown Prince. I wanted to ease the tension between us, but I messed it up again."
At this moment, Xie Wanying and Song Mingyan came upstairs carrying tonic soup and pregnancy-stabilizing medicine respectively. "Xue'er... Princess Consort Xuan, what exactly happened just now? I heard arguing downstairs."
"Cough cough..."
Xie Wanyun said, "Princess Xuan, we kindly went down to make tea for you, and you actually took advantage of our absence to bully us! Did you come here to visit us in our illness? I think you're like a weasel offering New Year's greetings to a chicken—you're up to no good!"
Yun Jiaoyue opened her innocent eyes wide and shook her head, explaining, "I really meant well by visiting. I told my older sister some good news, and she suddenly got angry. I really didn't mean to."
You all know that when my older sister gets angry or in a bad mood, she starts yelling at people.
"Then why did you take the gifts back?"
"My older sister just said she didn't want my things, so I took them out."
Don't pin everything on her!
Madam Yang came over from the other side and tried to smooth things over, saying, "Recently, Xue'er's pregnancy has been unstable, and the pregnant woman is in a bad mood. Princess Xuan, please don't take offense. The divine physician said that her body is severely depleted and she needs good medicine to nourish her."
"On behalf of Xue'er, I thank Princess Xuan."
Having said all that, Yun Jiaoyue had no choice but to give away the ginseng and lingzhi.
Back in the capital, these things were given away without a second thought, but now that she's in exile, she doesn't have much money. Giving away so many valuable medicines all at once is painful for her.
If only I had put some colorless and odorless poison in the medicine, I could have killed her and the baby in her womb.
Ms. Yang invited her downstairs for tea.
Half an hour later, the game inside the room ended in a draw.
Zhao Xuan was in a great mood because he had convinced Xiao Xuance to act according to his plan. When he came out, he saw Yun Jiaoyue with red eyes, her eyes downcast and her lips biting as if she had been wronged, her brows furrowed. "What happened?"
Today, she wore a cherry blossom pink soft silk dress, the hem adorned with butterflies and flowers embroidered in fine silver thread. Her face was made up with exquisite makeup, concealing her sun-tanned skin. She looked charming and beautiful, her lips innocently pursed like a newly blooming crabapple, adding a touch of allure to her appearance.
Zhao Xuan glanced at her a few more times.
"I think I've upset my older sister again," she hesitated, wiping her reddened eyes with a handkerchief, sniffed, and then said, "My older sister is sick and in a bad mood, so she probably wants to vent her anger on someone. It's okay, I understand."
The maid who had been slapped immediately complained to the Third Prince, "Your Highness, the Princess spoke to her politely, but the Princess not only gave her a cold look, but also scolded her and threw things at her, ruining her newly made clothes."
“Cui’er was even slapped by the Fourth Miss. They really went too far. The Princess Consort did nothing wrong.”
After they finished speaking, Yun Jiaoyue pretended to be stern and scolded them, "Stop talking. As long as it makes Big Sister feel better and recovers soon, I'm willing to do anything. I don't mind being scolded or hit."
Zhao Xuan felt a pang of heartache when he thought about the grievances she had suffered in order to help him achieve his great cause. He turned to Xiao Xuance, who was pushing a wheelchair out from behind him, and said, "Your Highness, women cannot be spoiled. They must be properly trained so that they will listen to you."
He said, "My wife is fine, she doesn't need it. Your Highness should really train her properly. Princess Xuan has caused trouble for my wife several times. Out of respect for Your Highness, I'll let it slide the first few times, and I hope it won't happen again, otherwise..."
The last two words contain a hidden warning.
Yun Jiaoyue was both angry and jealous. "Young Master, are you sure you want to fall out with our Prince for a woman? Is it worth it?"
Xiao Xuance said earnestly, "It's worth it!"
She deserves the best; in his heart, nothing and no one is more important than her.
The atmosphere was tense.
Zhao Xuan waved his hand and said, "That's enough. It's their family matter, and outsiders shouldn't interfere too much. Let's go."
Yun Jiaoyue was filled with hatred. How dare that bitch be happier than her?!
"Young Master Xiao, let me give you a friendly reminder: you are completely devoted to her, but she has no feelings for you at all. In your past life, she was fickle, abandoned her husband and children, murdered your entire family, and slept with many men..."
Yun Jiaoyue wanted to continue speaking, but when she met Xiao Xuance's gaze, which seemed to look at a dead person, she felt inexplicably frightened, and a strong killing intent rushed towards her.
He wanted to kill her.
He's insane! This guy is a madman!
He cut off Shen Yan's tongue, and then had Shen Qingyu's tongue cut off as well.
No, she didn't want her tongue cut out; she couldn't become mute, otherwise she wouldn't be able to be empress.
Xiao Xuance uttered two words expressionlessly, "Shut up!"
Yun Jiaoyue thought he was going to cut off her tongue, and screamed in terror. She rushed towards the carriage, scrambling up on all fours to hide.
Zhao Xuan also boarded the carriage. Seeing the still-shaken Yun Jiaoyue, his eyes held a hint of reproach. "What did you do today? I told you to be on good terms with the Xiao family, not to anger them and make enemies for me. Look at you, jumping around like that. Where is your demeanor as a princess?"
Yun Jiaoyue huddled in the corner, shaking her head in fear, before throwing herself into Zhao Xuan's arms and hugging him tightly.
Your Highness, he... he's going to kill me, cut out my tongue! I don't want my tongue cut out, I don't want to die, sob sob..."
Zhao Xuan, “…”
Women are so timid; one look from her and she's terrified.
"Alright, with me here, he won't dare to hurt you."
Upstairs, Xiao Mingshu asked, puzzled, "Third Sister-in-law, why did you pretend to be sick in front of them?"
"If I don't want to be bothered by them, I can pretend to be sick and stay home from visitors."
Let her man train her, right?
They confiscated his iron ore, letting him experience the agony of unbearable suffering.
