The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Chapter 240 The Prince's Daughter's Wedding (1)

Yongfu Palace.

Afang's eyes were red from crying, and her voice was hoarse. She didn't dare to look at Jing Anle, and was busy serving medicine and candied fruit.

Mu Ping was somewhat better, but her voice was still choked with sobs, "Princess..."

Jing Anle wasn't in a hurry to take the medicine. Instead, she looked at the two women, feeling warm and touched. Apart from blood ties, Mu Ping and A Fang were like her own sisters, showing her great care.

It's ironic that I was harmed into this state by my so-called Uncle Wang and cousin.

"I'm getting better now, aren't I?" Jing Anle tried to break the silence, but he coughed again halfway through his sentence.

"Princess!" Mu Ping and A Fang exclaimed in unison.

Afang hurriedly moved closer and tucked Jing Anle's fox fur coat tighter. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she finally couldn't hold back anymore, letting the tears stream down her face. As she spoke, she sobbed, "Princess, you're finally alright. I was so worried."

Jing Anle used to love to cry, but she was also afraid of others crying. Now that Afang was crying, she felt a sense of sorrow. At least, Afang was still alive and standing in front of her.

“Afang,” Jing Anle suddenly called out.

"When you cry, you look so pitiful and endearing. If I were a man, I would definitely feel sorry for you."

Afang was taken aback, realizing Jing Anle was joking, but she still couldn't help but feel a lump in her throat, "Princess..."

"Alright!" Jing Anle pulled Afang to sit on the edge of the bed. Looking at Afang's reddened eyes, he felt very bad. "You're not allowed to cry anymore. You forgot, I hate it when people cry like little wives."

Afang was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but laugh again, but she still wanted to cry.

Jing Anle had no choice but to threaten her, "If you cry again, I will deduct your monthly allowance and tell the kitchen not to cook you any more delicious food."

Perhaps she was frightened, or perhaps for some other reason, but Afang finally stopped crying.

"Mu Ping, come here too." Jing Anle waved to Mu Ping.

Although Jing Anle was dizzy for a few days, she hadn't forgotten the important matter.

"Did anything happen while I was unconscious these past few days? Also, when did Princess Yongping arrive?"

Jing Anle knew in her heart that the fact that Princess Yongping entered the palace shortly after she was assassinated and fell off a cliff was not a coincidence at all.

Afang wiped away her tears in a daze, staring blankly at Muping, and blinked, saying, "After the princess fainted, Miss Qin from the General's Mansion and Miss Chu from the Prime Minister's Mansion both came to see the princess..."

If Mu Ping hadn't stopped her, who knows how long A Fang would have continued counting. Mu Ping said, "Princess, you may not know this, but during the three days you were unconscious, the envoy from Dongyuan Kingdom came to pay his respects. I just don't know what he said to His Majesty."

Jing Anle was somewhat shocked, "Dongyuan Kingdom?"

"Exactly."

"On the day of the hunt, there was an assassin who nearly injured Crown Prince Yelü Yuanxiu of Dongyuan Kingdom. Fortunately, General Qin intervened in time."

Jing Anle's mind went blank. She had previously studied the terrain surrounding Jing Kingdom. Dongyuan Kingdom was located in the southeast. Although its territory was vast, it had scarce food and could only survive by herding. As for Nanjiang, as its name suggests, it was located in the south, and it was separated from Dongyuan Kingdom only by Dayun Kingdom.

She immediately understood what Prince Qing meant.

"As expected, he harbors wolfish ambitions!"

Afang was somewhat confused. "Princess, what are you talking about?"

During the few days that Jing Anle was unconscious, Mu Ping had thought a lot about things. In addition, since Jing Anle had previously instructed Qin Xu to keep an eye on Princess Yongping, she had probably guessed most of the truth.

"Prince Qing wants to provoke conflict between Dongyuan Kingdom and Jing Kingdom," Mu Ping said succinctly.

Even if Afang didn't understand, she suddenly understood. She opened her mouth wide in surprise, "So all of this was done by Prince Qing."

Jing Anle nodded. "Once Jing Kingdom and Dongyuan Kingdom truly break off relations, Prince Qing will definitely try to win over Dongyuan Kingdom and make it work for him. At that time, his power will increase even more."

"If Dongyuan Kingdom and Nanjiang attack Jing Kingdom together, this will be an external threat. It is hard to guarantee that King Qing will not deploy troops in Jing Kingdom, which will be an internal threat."

Afang gritted her teeth in anger, "This Prince Qing is truly wicked."

"Since you want to create conflict, why doesn't Prince Qing just kill Yelü Yuanxiu?" Mu Ping couldn't help but ask.

How do you know he didn't?

Mu Ping felt a chill run down her spine and instantly understood, "So, it was fortunate that General Qin helped us that day, otherwise the consequences would have been unimaginable."

“This is exactly what I wanted to tell you. Go tell your uncle that Dongyuan Kingdom will definitely send someone over again. Your uncle only needs to send someone to the post station to deliver a letter first,” Jing Anle added.

"letter?"

"Does the princess intend to write down the whole story in a letter and inform the people of Dongyuan Kingdom?" Mu Ping asked, somewhat puzzled.

Jing Anle shook his head. "No, the people of Dongyuan Kingdom aren't fools. Telling them frankly won't do any good. This letter only needs to be written as a poem."

Afang reacted quickly, hurriedly bringing paper and pen. Jing Anle quickly wrote a few lines of poetry and handed them to Mu Ping, saying, "Just give it to your uncle. He knows what to do. As long as the people of Dongyuan Kingdom have doubts, they will naturally investigate on their own."

Mu Ping immediately understood, "I will leave the palace tonight." After saying that, Mu Ping seemed to remember something and said, "Oh, right, Princess, there is one more thing I need to tell you."

"Tomorrow, the Prince Qing's mansion is marrying off its daughter, but she is an illegitimate daughter. It is said that the date was set long ago."

After saying so much, Jing Anle was a little tired. She leaned lazily against the cushion, showing no surprise, and said indifferently, "Would you rather be a concubine or a secondary wife?"

Afang curled her lips and said, "The Marquis's mansion only took her because of Prince Qing. They would never give her the position of a concubine."

This was also within Jing Anle's expectations. Jing Rong's status as a concubine's daughter was one thing, but even if Jing Rou didn't marry Murong Peifeng, she wouldn't let anyone else have her!

"It's a pity I'm ill, otherwise I would have personally gone to check on Jingrou's condition!"

She was hunted down by assassins and almost killed. She would settle old scores and new grudges one day. But Jing Rou couldn't die yet, but she could suffer a little.
