Princess Linjiang felt as if she had had a very long dream. Although the accusations from Prince Linjiang in the dream were not the first time, they still made her feel frightened.
After being married to him for so many years, she received very little warmth from him.
He gave all his affection to Princess Changle and Shen Chen, and the rest to Concubine Yu and his children. Only she was like a lone boat in the ocean, not knowing who to rely on. She was like an outsider and invisible person in their family. She was not allowed to make any decisions, and she had no right to participate in anything at home.
These things combined made her entire belief collapse. She was unwilling to admit that she was not loved by her husband, nor did she want to live like this for the rest of her life. She had to find a way to rely on, even if it was hatred. As long as it could make her life less stagnant, she would be willing to sink into it.
Not to mention that she also lost her son and daughter-in-law in this war.
She didn't know how long she had been immersed in the dream, and when she finally opened her eyes, she saw Concubine Yu.
She blinked her eyes, trying to confirm whether she was dreaming or had returned to reality, but she heard Concubine Yu gently call her "Princess".
She was not dreaming. She was extremely sensitive to the voices of her enemies. Her mouth had already reacted subconsciously: "Get lost!"
Concubine Yu was not surprised. She raised her eyebrows and put the medicine bowl aside. She sighed softly and looked very sympathetic. After a while, she said self-deprecatingly: "Sister, it's the end of the world. Why don't we have a good talk together?"
Princess Linjiang slowly remembered what happened in the study room. She stabbed Shen Chen and was kicked by Prince Linjiang... She opened her eyes wide and remembered everything that happened before. She couldn't help but feel a little confused. When she thought about what Concubine Yu said now, she clutched the bed sheet tightly with both hands and asked dryly: "What do you mean?!"
"It means exactly what it says." Concubine Yu looked at the bowl of medicinal soup that still smelled strongly of it, and frowned slightly: "Sister almost killed Shen Chen, and the prince is extremely furious now."
Princess Linjiang had certainly thought of this. Shen Chen was the apple of Prince Linjiang's eye. Even if she tried her best to sow discord between them, Prince Linjiang would not care about Shen Chen's life or death. She stabbed Shen Chen at that juncture, which was of course an unforgivable sin for Prince Linjiang.
But she didn't care. In fact, there was nothing for someone who had nothing to lose to be afraid of.
So she sighed, leaned on the pillow calmly and panted: "So you came here to add insult to injury, want to see how miserable I will end up?" She pursed her lips indifferently, and ridiculed Concubine Yu fiercely: "But it's such a pity that my sister has made a wasted trip. I'm afraid I won't die for a while."
Of course, Shen Chen's injury would make King Linjiang furious. Princess Linjiang knew it in her heart, but the reason why she was still so calm was that she was sure that King Linjiang would be afraid of the rumors outside and would not dare to kill her.
A prince who is about to ascend the throne, his wife died inexplicably? Wouldn't people outside suspect that you favored your concubine and killed your wife? Wouldn't they suspect that the tragedy was caused by the fight between your concubine and your wife
The most common thing in history is the imperial censors who report things based on rumors. Prince Linjiang suffered greatly from this in the past, so how could he dare to do it again
And she? She wasn't afraid. She had already vented her anger. Although she looked crazy at that time, she knew better than anyone that the hairpin had already penetrated Shen Chen's body, almost piercing through his chest. With such a depth, if it had penetrated from the back, he would have died if the doctor had been a little slower.
Even if she died now, she would think it was worth it if Shen Chen could die with her, not to mention that she would not die yet.
Concubine Yu also laughed with her, looked at her with some pity and shook her head: "Sister, what are you thinking? Why should I laugh at your joke? You are going to die, why should I laugh at your joke?"
Princess Linjiang looked at her coldly and said, "Am I going to die?"
Concubine Yu knew that she was fearless, but she didn't think her blind confidence was funny. She just felt a little disappointed. She smiled as she watched Princess Linjiang sit up and whispered to her, "Yes, Princess, you really surprised me. I didn't even have to do anything, but you put yourself in this situation."
Princess Linjiang was a little panicked. Concubine Yu would not joke about such things. If she said that, did Prince Linjiang really want her to die? !
But how is it possible? Chu Jingwu is her son. Doesn't the King of Linjiang care about his son's reputation and future? If he has a mother who was deposed and died, how can he legitimately become the crown prince? !
She shook her head, a little surprised, and tried to convince herself: "No, why would he kill me at this moment..."
Concubine Yu had originally wanted to come and watch the fun, but now, she suddenly felt bored.
What if a woman who has gone mad showed her fear, panic and helplessness? She has no future, but her whole life has basically been lost. Neither of them is a winner.
When she entered the palace, she suffered a lot from Princess Linjiang. Even though her hatred gradually shifted to Shen Chen and the others, she was not idle to deal with herself...
She originally thought that she would be happy when Princess Linjiang was done, but suddenly she felt that these were not so important.
She smiled, lowered her eyes and whispered: "You have gone too far this time. Prince Zheng has already said that if this matter is not handled properly, this marriage will be cancelled. The prince will not let Shen Chen get hurt and lose his wife..."
Princess Linjiang scolded her sharply, "You are talking nonsense! No, he won't kill me! The Xu family is willing to help the prince because of me! If he kills me now, does he not want to use the Xu family anymore?!"
She was really anxious and even said such outrageous words.
Concubine Yu couldn't help but sneer: "The Xu family? If the prince waves to them, they will completely forget about you. Is it better to be the prince's confidant directly or to rely on the concubine? Do you really not know the difference? If you know, why do you ask such a ridiculous question?"
She stood up, frowning, thinking that she had really come to the wrong place. She took one last look at her, walked out the door without any regrets, and let the door slowly close behind her. (To be continued)
