Rebirth: Marry a General instead of a Prince
Chapter 69 Princess Changle
Bai Zhiyuan stood under the moonlight for a long time, thinking about something so intently that he didn't even notice there was someone standing next to him.
"County Lord?"
Bai Zhiyuan came back to his senses and saw that it was His Royal Highness Prince Jin. He quickly bowed and said, "Greetings, His Royal Highness Prince Jin."
Prince Jin smiled and asked, "What are you thinking about so intently?"
Bai Zhiyuan smiled and said, "I was thinking about Princess Changle."
"Oh?" King Jin raised his eyebrows and said, "Yun Song has just sent someone to inform me, and I have also sent people to the orchid garden to check. I think there will be results soon."
"I just don't know how the county lady knew these palace secrets?"
Bai Zhiyuan's heart tightened. Of course she would not tell King Jin that it was because Qi Zeyi in her previous life told her.
She said slowly, "The King of Yan and I are fellow apprentices. We once studied together in Mount Zhongnan. I overheard a conversation between him and his staff by chance. That's why I know this. I never thought I would be able to use it today."
Prince Jin looked at her steadily, but seeing the frankness in Bai Zhiyuan's eyes, he was not sure whether what she said was true or false.
Prince Jin said gently, "It seems that I got the County Lord's help as if by divine intervention."
Bai Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Your Highness Prince Jin is too kind."
The Prince of Jin continued, "During the spring hunt, the county lady was wronged. If what the county lady said today is true, I will kill the King of Kangding and avenge the ambush for the county lady."
Bai Zhiyuan said softly, "Thank you, Your Highness."
The King of Jin smiled and said, "Yun Song will leave tomorrow, and the county lord's father, General Weiyuan, will also leave. If the county lord has any problems in Shangjing, you can come to me and I will definitely help you with all my strength."
Bai Zhiyuan bowed to Prince Jin and said with a gentle smile, "Your Highness, I thank you."
Under the night sky, there were twinkling lights in her bright and shining eyes, and King Jin was caught off guard and distracted by this smile.
"Your Highness, I have been out for a long time. To avoid suspicion, I will return to the banquet first."
Prince Jin gradually came back to his senses. With a gentle smile on his lips, he said softly, "Okay, the county lady, please go first."
Bai Zhiyuan nodded and turned back to his seat.
Prince Jin stared at her back for a long time, his deep eyes gleaming with a clear luster.
After a while, a palace servant came hurriedly and said to King Jin: "Your Highness, Princess Changle has been found."
King Jin quickly came to his senses and asked, "Where did you find it?"
"Your Highness, it is in the Orchid Garden you mentioned. But Princess Changle...she..."
"What's wrong with her?" Prince Jin frowned.
The palace servant said in horror: "The princess was raped and covered with wounds. Her tongue was also cut off. When the servants went to see her just now, she was already unconscious and seemed to have suffered great torture and humiliation."
Upon hearing this, the King of Jin's eyes suddenly widened and he froze in place for a long while before he said, "Where is the matter about the King of Kangding that I asked you to investigate?"
The palace servant said, "It is just as your Highness said. That day, the princess saw King Kangding sneaking to the Orchid Garden in the palace. Perhaps out of curiosity, she followed King Kangding all the way to the Orchid Garden. She probably discovered King Kangding's secret, but your Highness knows that the princess has always been arrogant. It is very likely that this angered King Kangding, and King Kangding took such a cruel action."
Prince Jin pondered and sighed. Changle had always been arrogant and domineering because of her father's favor. Now she has become a useless person. It is impossible for her to marry Yunsong.
Thinking of this, King Jin asked, "Have you found out the secret of King Kangding?"
The palace servant said respectfully, "I went to Concubine Liu's palace and captured her personal maid. After a bit of intimidation, she confessed everything. Concubine Liu did have an affair with Prince Kangding. The two agreed to meet in the Orchid Garden every time Prince Kangding entered the palace. This has been going on for more than a year, but because the Orchid Garden is remote and Concubine Liu is not favored, no one has noticed it. I wonder how the Princess Rong'an knew about this?"
Prince Jin's heart moved, and he said to the palace servant, "Pass the news about Changle to the queen, and we will watch the show in a while."
After saying this, he turned around and returned to his seat in Guanghua Hall.
There was a peaceful atmosphere at the banquet, with many people speaking flattering words to Xie Yunsong. Prince Jin took his seat and nodded slightly to Bai Zhiyuan.
Bai Zhiyuan understood what he meant. It seemed that King Jin's people were quick enough to find useful information so quickly.
After a while, a palace maid came over and whispered in the queen's ear. The queen's face changed, her hands trembled, and she accidentally spilled the wine in her hand.
Emperor Renxiao glanced back at the queen, and everyone noticed the queen's misbehavior and looked at her.
The queen gritted her teeth, her face turned pale, and she was unable to speak for a long time.
Now even the Queen Mother noticed the Queen's abnormality.
Before the Queen Mother could speak, Concubine Shu beside her mocked, "What's wrong with the Queen today? The Queen has always been very particular about etiquette, why is she so out of control today?"
"Shut up!" the Queen said sternly, looking at Concubine Shu with eyes like a knife. Concubine Shu was so frightened by the Queen's aura that she forgot to refute.
Bai Zhiyuan at the table picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, just enough to hide the mockery on the corner of his mouth.
Emperor Renxiao's eyes flashed with dissatisfaction, and he asked, "Queen, what happened?"
The queen then stood up, but she staggered and almost fell. Fortunately, a palace maid beside her was quick to support her. The queen felt a black screen in front of her eyes and almost fell to the ground again. She pushed the palace maid aside and tried hard to maintain her dignity.
The queen fell to her knees with a thud, and said in tears: "Your Majesty, please save Changle, Your Majesty."
Emperor Renxiao was startled and asked, "Changle? What happened to Changle? Didn't you say she was sick and resting in the bedroom?"
The Queen cried and shook her head, "No, Your Majesty, Changle has been missing since the day before yesterday. I was worried that she was having fun and that Your Majesty would punish her, so I didn't dare to tell Your Majesty. But just now, a palace maid came to report that Changle was found in the abandoned orchid garden in the palace."
Upon hearing this, Emperor Renxiao heaved a sigh of relief, but then said sternly, "The Queen knows that you are deceiving the Emperor. Forget it, I will not bother with you today because I think you are so eager to protect your daughter, and I will not do it again next time."
"Your Majesty, but Changle was murdered. The palace maids reported that Changle's tongue was cut off and thrown into the orchid garden." The queen cried, "Your Majesty, who is so cruel? Please avenge Changle."
Emperor Renxiao was startled and took two steps back, with anger in his eyes.
Prince Kangding on the side clenched his fists, his hands trembled slightly unconsciously, and the blood in his body rushed up uncontrollably.
King Kangding recalled that day, he followed the routine of getting rid of the palace maids and went to the orchid garden to be intimate with Concubine Liu. Although Concubine Liu was gorgeous, there were many beautiful concubines in the palace of King Kangding. Perhaps it was because the emperor's women were particularly attractive that he was deeply attracted to Concubine Liu. Every time he entered the palace, he ordered someone to pass on the news to Concubine Liu. Concubine Liu had smooth skin, delicate and charming manners, which often made King Kangding unable to stop.
That day, when the two were in high spirits, they were seen by Princess Changle who broke in. Because he had to hide his whereabouts every time, Prince Kangding usually went alone to avoid being seen.
Princess Changle was also frightened at first, but when she saw the two of them having an affair, she shouted that she would tell the emperor.
Prince Kangding and Concubine Liu were both horrified, and Concubine Liu begged for mercy. But Princess Changle was outspoken and arrogant, insulting the two of them and mocking them.
Prince Kangding was always violent, and in a rage, he grabbed Changle's neck and tried to kill her. At this time, Concubine Liu also came to her senses and said hurriedly: "My lord, since the princess thinks you and I are lowly, why not let the princess also taste what it feels like to be bullied by lowly people."
Upon hearing this, Prince Kangding showed a cruel smile, summoned the guards, and ordered them to serve this princess well.
The guards didn't dare to do it, but King Kangding said, "There is no one here, no one will know. If you are afraid that she will scream, just cut off her tongue. After you have played with her, kill her and leave her here, and no one will know it was us who did it."
Princess Changle was now afraid, and she said in a low voice: "How dare you? I am the emperor's own daughter, you..."
Before she could finish, Prince Kangding took out a dagger and cut off her tongue. Princess Changle screamed silently, her eyes widened, her face full of disbelief. Perhaps she had not expected that asking Prince Kangding to deal with Bai Zhiyuan would become her nightmare.
Prince Kangding came back to his senses and felt scared. He didn't expect Changle to be found so quickly. Those trash played with her but didn't even kill her with a single blow.
Emperor Renxiao shouted angrily, "Investigate! Investigate for me! Who harmed Changle?"
Li Mi hurriedly accepted the order and turned to leave the palace.
Bai Zhiyuan's eyes passed through the chaotic crowd, looked at Xie Yunsong, and then at King Jin.
This time, Princess Changle finally understood what it meant to do evil and eventually destroy oneself.
Her life was ruined. Not to mention marrying Xie Yunsong, even an ordinary noble family man could not even think of marrying again. The only way out was to be with the ancient Buddha for a lifetime. The revenge of the past and present lives was avenged. Bai Zhiyuan felt relieved.
