Chapter 557: It’s Really Her!!
Translator: Lord bluefire
As soon as these words were spoken, the room fell silent, and everyone looked at her.
Shen Ruojing looked at the doorway. “Aren’t you coming in?!”
From outside the door, a man dressed as a royal guard walked in. It was Ji Wuyou!
Upon entering, Ji Wuyou held the knife at his waist and knelt down. ‘Greetings to Your Majesty, the Queen Dowager, and Princess!”
Shen Ruojing spoke to him, ‘Tell everyone what you discovered last night!’
Ji Wuyou immediately said, “Last night, while I was on patrol, I saw Captain Yan sneaking behind Princess Consort Luo. I followed Captain Yan and found that he shot a dart at Princess Consort Luo! ”
He immediately took out his phone. “1 noticed Captain Yan’s strange behavior at the time, so I purposely recorded it. ‘
…..
After Ji WUY0U finished speaking, someone stepped forward, took his phone, and showed the video to King Jing and the Queen Dowager.
They saw on the phone that Yan Zihan, the captain of the guards, was hiding behind a rockery and raising a special gun, aiming at Princess Consort Luo who was walking ahead.
Ji Wuyou had chosen a good angle, and the silver needle could be seen clearly in the video, shooting into Princess Consort Luo’s neck under the street lamp’s light.
With both witnesses and physical evidence, there was nothing Yan Zihan could say!
The Queen Dowager’s face darkened after watching the video. She then threw the phone to Princess Consort Yan. “Take a look, do you have anything to say?!” Princess Consort Yan’s legs gave out, and she collapsed to the floor.
Family Leader Luo and Mother Luo hurriedly picked up the phone, and after watching the video, they were both stunned.
When everyone in the room was dumbfounded, King Jing ordered, “Go and arrest Yan Zihan!’
Yan Zihan was arrested, and with the video as evidence, he had no way to deny it. He soon confessed.
Yan Zihan was smart. He knew that if he revealed his involvement with Princess Consort Ji, he would be charged with causing chaos in the palace. So he only claimed that Princess Consort Luo was too arrogant and always bullied him. Whenever she saw him, she would lord over him, so in a moment of anger, he shot her!
Yan Zihan took the responsibility for this incident and was locked up in the royal prison.
Family Leader Luo and Mother Luo cried bitterly.
When Shen Ruojing went to Princess Consort Luo’s palace to offer incense, Family Leader Luo and Mother Luo no longer treated her coldly. After all, without Shen Ruojing, Princess Consort Luo might have died in vain.
However, they were not overly enthusiastic either.
After offering incense and comforting Mother Luo, Shen Ruojing saw Princess Consort Ji walking toward her with her head down and trembling. She was shaking as she knelt in front of Princess Consort Luo, crying with red eyes.
When she left, Shen Ruojing saw Ji Wuyou, who had been promoted to the captain of the guard, standing not far away.
Shen Ruojing approached and Ji Wuyou followed her. “Princess, from now on, I will always follow you and protect you!”
After saying this, he knelt down directly. “But I have a request.”
Shen Ruojing said indifferently, “Go ahead.”
Ji Wuyou gave a bitter smile. “1 know Yan Zihan’s motive for murder is currently insufficient, but can you please not reveal the affair between Princess Consort Ji and Yan Zihan?’
Shen Ruojing had recorded a video with her phone when she secretly observed them the previous day. Hearing this, she asked, ‘Why?”
Ji Wuyou’s eyes flashed with hatred. “Princess Consort Ji cannot die. If she dies, I will lose my leverage over her mother! Now that I have become the captain of the royal guards, Princess Consort Ji will have to rely on me, and her mother will have to obey my mother’s words… Besides, Princess Consort Ji poses no threat to you in the palace, and she doesn’t have ambitions for the Queen’s position. Also, this scandal will damage the royal family’s image if it gets out…”
Shen Ruojing then looked at Ji Wuyou with an amused expression as he stammered more and more. Finally, he fell silent.
Shen Ruojing lowered her eyes. “Alright, I promise you.”
Ji Wuyou breathed a sigh of relief, but his face showed a hint of anger. “It’s a pity we couldn’t bring down Princess Consort Yan this time. Otherwise, it would have been killing two birds with one stone! How infuriating! ”
Shen Ruojing glanced at him again and continued, “Princess Consort Yan did not get involved in this matter. Since the crime won’t implicate her family, she naturally won’t be implicated either.”
At this moment, in the Queen Dowager’s palace.
King Jing was speaking, “Mother, do you really think this matter has nothing to do with Yan Rushuang?!”
The Queen Dowager looked at him as she defended her niece. “At least, there is no connection found so far! Everything was done by Yan Zihan alone. Moreover, Rushuang grew up under my watch, and I trust her character. She may be cunning but not to the point of harming others. ‘
King Jing sneered. “Not to the point? I think your old age is really blurring your vision!”
The Queen Dowager frowned. “What did you say, you unfilial son?”
King Jing’s attitude was strong, his eyes slightly narrowed. “I said your vision is blurred, mistaking fish eyes for pearls! Old witch, let me tell you, I will not take more consorts. Princess Consort Luo is dead, and I will find a way to get rid of the other two consorts. In this life, I only recognize Shen Qianhui as my wife!
The Queen Dowager was so angry that she was speechless.
After taking several deep breaths, she finally said, “Which king practices monogamy? You’re simply being ridiculous! As for that woman, Shen Qianhui, she is from China. How can our Country A’s queen be a foreigner? I disagree! As for the position of the Queen, I think it should be given to Yan Rushuang. Since you like the daughter of the Shen family, let her be a favored consort. This matter is settled!”
King Jing sneered and stood up. “If you don’t agree, then don’t blame me for being impolite.”
The Queen Dowager angrily said, “You unfilial son, what are you going to do?!” King Jing smiled at her. “What I’m going to do doesn’t need to be reported to you, does it?”
After he strode out of the room, the Queen Dowager angrily slammed the table.
On the other side.
Shen Ruojing and Ji WUY0U walked to the garden and ran into Princess Consort Yan, who was planning to pay her respects to Princess Consort Luo.
With Yan Zihan in prison, her face was pale and she appeared somewhat haggard.
Princess Consort Yan then saw the two and narrowed her eyes. “So, it turns out that Princess has been hooking up with Guard Ji? Are you planning to marry him into the royal family?’
This made Ji Wuyou’s face turn red. “What nonsense are you talking about?
How could I possibly be worthy of Princess?”
Shen Ruojing, however, didn’t pay attention to this.
She simply walked up to Princess Consort Yan. As they passed each other, she suddenly stopped and whispered, “Princess Consort Yan, I heard that you are in control of a child with the King’s bloodline?’
Upon hearing this, Princess Consort Yan’s body stiffened. “How did you know?!’
Shen Ruojing’s words were meant to provoke her.
Under normal circumstances, Princess Consort Yan would have been able to react well, but with Yan Zihan’s incident, she was caught off guard by Shen Ruojing’s words.
She stared at Shen Ruojing in astonishment, her shock genuine!
Shen Ruojing lowered her eyes and slowly said, “So it’s really you, Princess
Consort Yan. What a clever scheme!”
Princess Consort Yan bit her lips and stared at her. “l was forced to do this! Without the King, I had to resort to such measures! I couldn’t just die of old age in the palace, could I? Princess, wasn’t your family’s life very smooth in China?
Why did you come here?!”
If they hadn ‘t returned, she could have become the Queen Dowager with that child and ruled Country A just like her aunt!
Shen Ruojing’s eyes grew colder. “Because this is my father’s home.”
Seeing that Shen Ruojing had uncovered her biggest secret, Princess Consort Yan stared at her and said coldly, “This is your father’s home, but not yours or your mother’s!”
She then stepped forward and lowered her voice. “Don’t think that by bringing down my brother, you can have an easy life in this harem. Let me tell you, Country A will never accept a foreigner as their queen! The Queen Dowager will never allow your mother to monopolize the King. Do you think my greatest support is my brother? No, you’re wrong. My greatest support is the Queen Dowager! The relationship between the King and his mother can never be severed. So, the position of the Queen can only be mine! ”
Her eyes became gloomy. ‘When I become the Queen, you and your mother will have to rely on me to survive. Country A’s class system is strict. Every time your mother sees me in the future, she will have to kneel and bow… I heard that a princess from the Shen family was once sent to be a consort, but she went mad in the palace. So, I advise you to take your mother and go back to China now!
“Otherwise, what happened to Princess Consort Luo today will happen to you and your mother in the future!”
