Translator: Lord bluefire
Shen Ruojing listened to her words but did not get angry at all.
She just quietly listened until Princess Consort Yan finished saying all of this before she coldly said, “Do you think you will succeed?”
Princess Consort Yan was stunned.
Shen Ruojing smiled. “The child in my mother’s womb is a boy, and that child is the legitimate heir to the royal family! My children and I have no interest in the throne, so I’m afraid your plans will fall through.”
Princess Consort Yan frowned and clenched her fists tightly.
Shen Ruojing continued, “But don’t worry, we still have time. Princess Consort
Yan, I hope on the day of your defeat, you can honestly answer one question for me and clear up my doubts.”
…..
Shen Ruojing had never intended to have a life-and-death struggle with the other royal concubines in the palace. Even when she found out that Princess Consort Yan was the one who had plotted against her and used her to have a surrogate child, she never thought of letting Princess Consort Yan die.
But when Princess Consort Luo died unexpectedly, she realized just how brutal the palace’s power struggle was.
The consequence of failure was death.
Shen Ruojing was never a weak girl. Since Princess Consort Yan was their enemy and it had come to this, she would definitely choose to let Princess
Consort Yan die.
But before that, she wanted to ask Princess Consort Yan how she had managed to make Song Chen pretend to be Chu Cichen so convincingly…
This had always been her biggest doubt.
Princess Consort Yan didn’t say anything else but just snorted coldly and walked forward.
Shen Ruojing didn’t follow her but walked in another direction with Ji Wuyou. They hadn’t gone far when they suddenly heard a slap behind them.
Shen Ruojing raised an eyebrow.
She looked at Ji WUY0U and saw that his expression was calm, so she laughed.
“It must be Princess Consort Ji. She just went to pay her respects to Princess
Consort Yan.’
Upon hearing this, Ji Wuyou’s expression changed slightly.
He glanced back and then said, “Serves her right!’
A vicious expression appeared on his face.
Shen Ruojing didn’t say anything else and just led Ji Wuyou straight ahead.
Not far away, in the garden.
Princess Consort Ji was kneeling in front of Princess Consort Yan. Her cheeks were now completely swollen.
Yan Rushuang was grabbing her hair, and the heel of her high heels was pressing down on Princess Consort Ji’s palm, stepping on it hard.
Princess Consort Ji’s palm began to bleed, and she was in so much pain that her face turned pale. She begged, “Spare me, Princess Consort Yan. It’s all my fault. I shouldn’t have informed Yan Zihan, but I was really scared that Princess
Consort Luo would expose it…”
“Shut up!” Princess Consort Yan glared at her angrily and slapped her face several more times. “Is my brother’s name something you, a lowly woman, can
call?’
She lowered her voice. “My brother is really confused. He should have let the Luo family reveal the truth. At most, you would die and he would live. Adultery is not a fatal crime for a man, but murder is. If the Luo family doesn’t forgive him, my brother might even be killed!’
When Ji Nina heard this, she hesitated for a moment before she continued to sob. “It’s my fault, it’s my fault…”
Princess Consort Yan looked at her and kicked her again. “As long as you know, my brother kept your affair secret for your sake. Always remember that you owe him a life!”
Ji Nina fell to the ground and hurriedly held her injured hand with her other hand.
After venting all her anger from Shen Ruojing on Ji Nina, Princess Consort Yan narrowed her eyes. ‘That little bitch from the Shen family dared to tell me that the child in her mother’s womb is a boy…”
Ji Nina heard this and was slightly stunned.
She looked at Princess Consort Yan in astonishment.
She then heard Princess Consort Yan say. “If she gives birth to a boy, what’s the use of the child in my hands?”
Ji Nina immediately replied, “Before the child is born, the gender cannot be determined. Princess Consort Yan, you don’t have to worry so much. Besides, Princess Consort Shen is older, and there may be problems with her body…”
Princess Consort Yan sneered. “Do you really not want to see me become the Queen?”
Ji Nina immediately lowered her head. “This servant wouldn’t dare.”
Princess Consort Yan squatted down and patted her cheek. “Let me tell you, whether I become a queen or not, you can only be my slave! Now, crawl back!
You are not allowed to go out without my command!”
Ji Nina trembled all over. She was kneeling as she slowly moved away.
When she was far enough from Princess Consort Yan, she still didn’t dare to stand up and crawled all the way back to her palace.
The passing maids were all stunned. They pointed at her and asked, “What is Princess Consort Ji doing?”
A servant next to Princess Consort Ji said, “Our Princess Consort is praying for
His Majesty. ”
In the following days, rumors flew around the palace.
“Have you heard? It turns out that the Princess from China knows medicine! That’s why she could determine Princess Consort Luo’s cause of death. I also heard from Yu Jing in the King’s palace that their Princess’s medical skills are quite amazing and can ensure Princess Consort Shen’s son is born safely!’
“Princess Consort Shen’s child is definitely a boy, right?”
‘Wouldn’t that make Princess Consort Shen the future crown prince’s birth mother? What about Princess Consort Yan’s side…
“Princess Consort Shen is from China. They might not let her become the Queen, but as long as she’s the birth mother of the Crown Prince, she would still have a higher status than the Queen, right?”
“No matter how powerful Princess Consort Yan’s influence is, when the King is gone and the Crown Prince becomes a thing of the past, will her position still be secure? Not necessarily, right? By then, the Queen Dowager will be gone too, and Princess Consort Yan might lose her power! That’s why the wind in the palace has changed!
These words spread into Princess Consort Yan’s palace, and today, the brand that specifically customized clothes for the royal family entered the palace but did not come to her first. Instead, they went to Princess Consort Shen’s side.
These things infuriated her!
Princess Consort Yan stood up. “No, we can’t let things continue like this! The King’s enthronement ceremony is coming soon, and if the child in that woman’s belly isn’t taken care of, my position might not be stable!”
Her butler immediately said, “Your Highness, the Queen Dowager just scolded you yesterday. The implicit meaning of her words was that the child in
Princess Consort Shen’s belly cannot be harmed! You must not disobey the Queen Dowager’s command!’
Princess Consort Yan sneered. “Of course I know I can’t touch the child! I wouldn’t be foolish enough to do it myself, but isn’t there a suitable candidate right here in the palace? She harmed my brother, so let her be buried with him!”
Princess Consort Yan went straight to Princess Consort Ji’s palace. When she spoke, her words were filled with anger. “Ji Nina, if you don’t help me with this,
I’ll reveal your affair with my brother! I’ll make sure you die a horrible death!’
She handed Ji Nina a packet of medicine. “Go, put this medicine in Princess Consort Shen’s food! Do it cleanly without being discovered, and you can still live!”
Ji Nina’s body trembled, wanting to resist, but she was forced by Princess
Consort Yan. Hence, she could only bite her lips and weakly say, “…Yes. ‘
She knew that if she didn’t do it, Princess Consort Yan would not let her go!
At this point, she could only take a desperate gamble.
Ji Nina was allowed to leave the palace, and she went to the imperial kitchen with her maid.
Then, Ji Nina stopped a palace maid who was delivering food to Princess Consort Shen, and her maid took the opportunity to sprinkle the medicine into the dishes.
The dish with the medicine added was a plate of mushrooms. It was very fresh and was soon served on Princess Consort Shen’s dining table..
