The icy water poured into her throat through her ears and nose, making it impossible for Shen Shuang to breathe. The suffocating pain was so intense that she felt like she was about to drown.
No!
We can't die like this!
A surge of energy suddenly filled her body, and she abruptly opened her eyes.
As the guards who were holding her were about to push her head back into the lake, Shen Shuang suddenly grabbed one of them by the neck.
The guard was terrified. Before he could even react, Shen Shuang kicked him into the water.
She stood up and said coldly, "You want me dead? You're tired of living!"
"Mu Chenshuang!!"
A furious shout made Shen Shuang lift her eyelids.
Only then did she see the group of people in the pavilion. Before she could get a good look at them, a figure flashed in front of her, accompanied by a terrifying aura of ferocity.
The next second.
Shen Shuang's neck was grabbed by a force, and her feet were lifted off the ground.
"ah!"
The feeling of suffocation returned, and I opened my eyes slightly to meet a pair of dark eyes filled with anger.
"Mu Chenshuang, you're courting death."
Before Shen Shuang could think, she grabbed the man's arm with both hands and pressed her thumbs firmly on his pressure points.
The man frowned sharply, and his arm suddenly lost its strength.
"ah!"
Shen Shuang fell directly to the ground, feeling as if all the bones in her body were about to shatter, and intense pain spread throughout her limbs and bones.
Such a clear sense of pain.
Shen Shuang realized that she had now completely taken over this body.
But for the past month, she has been residing in this body as a spirit.
She is the Medicine King Goddess of the divine realm, who is undergoing tribulations in the 21st century and is suddenly struck by lightning.
He thought he could return to his divine position sooner, but unexpectedly he ended up being attached to this body.
"Mu Chenshuang, how dare you! I have truly underestimated you. Guards, bring her on a cane."
Shen Shuang was stunned. Damn mortals, were they trying to kill her?
The two guards obeyed and immediately stepped forward to seize Mu Chenshuang.
"Who dares to touch me?!"
Mu Chenshuang shouted fiercely, her eyes sharp as blades. Even in her disheveled state, she exuded an aura of divine inviolability.
The two guards, stunned, stood frozen in place.
Feng Xilan was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the slender figure standing in the cold wind.
"Mu Chenshuang, I think you're tired of living. I haven't settled the score with you from last time. Today, you dared to push Qing'er into the lake. I'll skin you alive."
The original owner was the eldest daughter of the Marquis of Jingbian in Tianzhao Kingdom. She had made military achievements and was the apple of the eye of Marquis Mu. Now she has fallen to such a state all because she loved the wrong person.
Mu Chenshuang once insisted on marrying no one but Feng Xilan, and the emperor issued an edict to make Mu Chenshuang the Crown Princess, which can be said to have forced Feng Xilan to marry her.
But Feng Xilan betrayed her, and Mu Chenshuang refused to allow the Crown Prince to take another concubine, even threatening suicide. When the Crown Prince ignored her, she ordered her men to kidnap Feng Xilan's beloved and kill her.
Today is the day Feng Xilan will marry his concubine Xiao Qingyu. The wedding procession is even more grand than when he married his principal wife.
Xiao Qingyu went to Yuxi Palace to serve her tea, but fell into the icy lake.
But regardless of whether Xiao Qingyu was kidnapped before or fell into the lake today, it was all a drama she directed and acted in herself.
No matter how the original owner tried to explain, Feng Xilan still wanted her dead. Perhaps today the original owner was completely disheartened, which is why she completely took over this body and felt the pain of being deceived and betrayed.
Now that she has replaced the original Mu Chenshuang, then it is up to Chenshuang to avenge her hatred and grudges.
She supported herself on the cold ground and stood up. The cold wind howled, making her thin figure sway precariously.
Mu Chenshuang's clear and calm eyes met Feng Xilan's furious gaze, and she said calmly, "I did not push Xiao Qingyu into the lake. She jumped in herself. What does it have to do with me? Your Highness, you punish your Crown Princess without distinguishing right from wrong, based solely on one side of the story. If this gets to His Majesty's ears, the Crown Prince will be nothing more than a foolish person who cannot distinguish right from wrong for the sake of his favorite concubine."
These words shocked everyone.
Anyone who dares to say that the Crown Prince is a foolish and incompetent person would be extremely disadvantageous to him if such a rumor were to spread. After all, although he is the heir apparent, his position is unstable and there are many people eyeing him covetously. The slightest disturbance could cause a huge uproar.
As expected.
This directly struck a nerve with Feng Xilan, enraging her.
Mu Chenshuang's vision went black, and she felt a sharp pain in her chin. Feng Xilan was gripping her chin so tightly that it felt like she was going to crush it.
"Mu Chenshuang, how dare you threaten me? You're practically courting death!" The words were almost squeezed out through clenched teeth.
Mu Chenshuang's brows furrowed in pain, yet her clear, calm eyes remained fixed on Feng Xilan.
"I will admit to what I have done, and I will not admit to what I have not done, even if the Crown Prince kills me. So I hope Your Highness will see through this and not listen to slander."
Feng Xilan narrowed her eyes, her anger blazing as she stared intently at Mu Chenshuang, her grip tightening slightly.
At this moment.
A clear, deep voice came from behind, "Crown Prince Lan, what the Crown Princess said makes sense. I hope you will consider it carefully."
