Chapter 23 Prince Chen is Incompetent
Lianye asked, puzzled, "The dark room is both gloomy and bloody. Master has already come out, why go there again?"
Xu Jiaojiao, like a delicate flower touched by poison, smiled radiantly: "Naturally, it's time to savor the fruits of victory..."
Chen Xi wanted her to fall into ruin, and he wanted her to die.
She would just have to defy Chen Xi's wishes!
Not only will she not fall into poverty or die, she will also watch Chen Xi fall into poverty and die from a high position!
A person dies but their head falls to the ground, yet she insisted on killing them and destroying their spirit!
She will retaliate against all those who have hurt her in the worst possible way!
In the dark room, Chen Xi curled up in agony.
There seemed to be something rustling in my ears.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be two rats gnawing on scraps of meat on the ground.
Chen Xi let out a scream: "Let me out! Let me out!!"
"Wow!"
The door lock clicked.
Chen Xi looked up in surprise.
Previously, no matter how much she shouted, the people outside remained unmoved. Why is it that this time...?
Upon seeing the person standing at the door, Chen Xi was slightly taken aback, feeling as if the blood in her body had instantly reversed direction.
"Xu Jiaojiao! How dare you come here again!!"
With red eyes, Chen Xi got up from the ground and struggled to pounce on the person.
Lianye reacted quickly, kicking Chen Xi and preventing her from getting close to her master.
Chen Xi was in a sorry state after falling to the ground.
A piece of flesh was cut from her chest, forehead, and throat, making her look grotesque and terrifying.
Lianye couldn't bear to look, but Xu Jiaojiao calmly glanced at Chen Xi, who was cursing and roaring on the ground, and sighed sadly: "Chen Xi, why are you so foolish?"
Chen Xi stopped crying and stared intently at Xu Jiaojiao with her bloodshot eyes: "What do you mean?"
Xu Jiaojiao bent down, looking at the wound on Chen Xi's forehead with pity: "You didn't have to end up like this, but you actually used such vicious thoughts on the prince. Now I don't even know where to begin pleading for you..."
Chen Xi's eyes were bloodshot as she roared hoarsely, "Stop pretending! Wasn't it all your doing that I became like this?!"
Xu Jiaojiao smiled faintly, leaned close to Chen Xi's ear, and whispered with a chuckle, "Anyway, you're going to die soon, so telling you won't hurt."
Indeed, all of this was part of my plan!
The midnight digging for ginseng, the grand display of moving water vats, the sudden discovery of the summer-cooling incense beads, and all the things I said to you today—it was all part of my plan!
But what good will it do you even if you know?
"You can't produce any evidence that I framed you, and the prince won't listen to your nonsense. Only death awaits you!"
The familiar words rang in his ears, and Chen Xi's body trembled violently. In an instant, he understood everything.
Xu Jiaojiao wanted her dead; she wanted her dead from the very beginning!
Everything she did was part of Xu Jiaojiao's plan!
But these past two days she's still living in a dream, basking in her own self-satisfaction!
These past two days, Xu Jiaojiao has probably been laughing in her sleep, laughing at how incredibly presumptuous she is!
Thinking about all this made Chen Xi's heart ache with anger.
She is not convinced!
They were both maids, so why was Xu Jiaojiao favored by Prince Chen while she had to suffer such a miserable fate?
She can tolerate her own failures, but she cannot tolerate Xu Jiaojiao's success!
She wants Xu Jiaojiao to go to hell with her!
"Go to hell!" Chen Xi lunged fiercely at Xu Jiaojiao, but the latter nimbly dodged.
Xu Jiaojiao's eyes held a mocking smile, but she cried out, "Guards, Chen Xi has gone mad! Please save her!"
With shouts, the guards rushed in and kicked Chen Xi, who was committing the crime, away.
With Lianye's help, Xu Jiaojiao stood up and, with tears welling in her eyes, slipped two taels of silver to the guard: "No matter what, she worked with me for several years. It's not what I wanted for her to end up like this. She doesn't have many days left to live, so I'd be grateful if the guards could treat her well..."
"Hahahaha!" Chen Xi laughed until tears streamed down her face.
Even at this point, Xu Jiaojiao is still acting!
So even this last meeting in the dark room was all part of Xu Jiaojiao's scheme!
……
Mingqian Academy.
After hearing the report from the guard, Zhao Yunzheng sighed softly.
Jiaojiao is just too kind.
Despite being framed by that wicked woman Chen Xi, she still felt a sense of past affection and went to see her off on her final journey.
The next day.
The investigators returned with evidence.
Zhao Yunzheng ordered someone to fetch Chen Xi, but was told that Chen Xi had already committed suicide in a dark room out of fear of punishment.
Looking at Chen Xi's lifeless body with her eyes wide open, Zhao Yunzheng frowned in disgust: "She got off easy."
The truth about the poisoning came to light, and Xu Jiaojiao, by a stroke of luck, moved into Yuhua Courtyard. A constant stream of gifts were brought into the courtyard, making everyone envious.
Zheng Antong was so angry that she couldn't eat anything all day.
The wet nurse comforted her, saying, "Those who climb high inevitably fall hard. It's truly fortunate that Xu, a lowly concubine with no one to rely on, escaped this time. There will be plenty of time in the future; why should Your Highness worry about not finding an opportunity to take advantage of her?"
Thinking this way, Zheng Antong felt much better. She secretly thought that once her confinement was lifted, she would definitely teach Xu Jiaojiao a lesson!
For the next two weeks, Zhao Yunzheng visited Xu Jiaojiao almost every day and instructed Lianye to apply medicine to Xu Jiaojiao's wounds on time.
As her wounds began to heal, Xu Jiaojiao began to make plans.
Prince Chen treats her very well now, but Xu Jiaojiao feels that this kindness is like a castle in the air, which could collapse at any moment.
Once the guilt and heartache in Prince Chen's heart fade, she could disappear from his sight at any time and eventually become an insignificant person in the inner quarters.
To build a lasting emotional bond with Prince Chen, both body and mind are indispensable.
It's time to prepare to serve him in bed!
Strange to say.
Although Prince Chen visited her every day, he never stayed overnight. He had never stayed overnight with any of the other women in the palace either.
Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but secretly ponder.
Could it be that Prince Chen is incapable?
It shouldn’t be!
Prince Chen walks with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, clearly possessing abundant energy and vitality, and appearing to be in excellent health; he shouldn't be incapacitated.
Xu Jiaojiao couldn't help but think of some things from her previous life.
She remembered that in less than half a year, a woman surnamed Su would enter the mansion. This woman especially loved winter plum blossoms. As soon as she entered the mansion, she won the favor of Prince Chen. Prince Chen even built a plum garden in the mansion just for her.
When she was first reborn, she used this to encourage Chen Xi and take the opportunity to test the princess's attitude.
Judging from the princess's attitude, this woman surnamed Su holds a very important place in Prince Chen's heart, and is someone the princess finds extremely distasteful.
The reason why Prince Chen does not set foot in the inner courtyard is probably to preserve the chastity of this woman surnamed Su...
So, does that mean this Miss Su is Prince Chen's ideal woman?
Oh, my white moonlight...
That would be difficult...
But it didn't matter, Xu Jiaojiao leisurely played with the peonies in the yard.
The so-called "white moonlight" is nothing more than the purest and most unforgettable existence deep in a man's heart.
There are only two simple ways to destroy a man's ideal woman.
Firstly, it allows men to personally uncover the ugly truth hidden beneath the flawless white moonlight.
But if the other party is truly a good woman, then the only option is the second one—
Instead!
