Rebirth: The paranoid war king was controlled by the crazy female protagonist

After dinner, Qing Yu took the opportunity to take a bath and went to the palace alone. In the end, she decided to go in order to find out the truth.

For her, sneaking into the palace was not a difficult task. The most difficult part was probably finding the cold palace where Zheng Linhan was.

As she was looking around, she was caught by Fang Ruo who was taking a walk not far away.

"Is that person... the princess?" Fang Ruo caught a familiar figure at a glance, his face full of surprise.

The maid at the side denied her guess, "That shouldn't be the case. I haven't heard that the princess is coming to the palace."

"Come on, let's go up and have a look."

Fang Ruo was sure that he was not mistaken. His Majesty and the ministers were busy dealing with affairs today. Why would the princess go to the palace at this time?

Qing Yu finally arrived at the cold palace where Zheng Linhan was after groping his way. The road was complicated and remote, and the farther he went inside, the fewer people there were. Even if he died here, no one would probably find him for ten days or half a month.

Walking into the courtyard, the cold wind was blowing, weeds were growing everywhere on the walls, the dim candles could only illuminate the road vaguely, the cold wind blew the flames, the shadows reflected on the wall shook slightly, it looked particularly creepy.

The palace was empty and deserted, without a single unnecessary item. It was very clean, and the hanging curtains concealed Zheng Linhan's looming figure.

"I knew you would come." Zheng Linhan's voice echoed in the empty palace.

Looking at her slowly approaching him, she was wearing a thin and plain dress, her hair fluttering in the wind. She had lost her former domineering look, but there was still a natural pride in her eyes.

Even if she is down and out, she will not bow her head and accept her fate. Even if she begs, she will not lose her original dignity. Is this a princess?

"Why are you so sure that I will come?" There was no emotion in her flat tone.

Zheng Linhan had already walked slowly towards her, curling the corners of his lips, "Because you have no choice."

"Really? If I bring someone with me, or if I tell Brother Zhou in advance, aren't you afraid of losing the opportunity?"

"You dare not." Zheng Linhan said in a firm tone.

"Why not?" she asked.

"The real murderer who killed your mother could be anyone, possibly someone you brought with you."

Seeing that she didn't respond, Zheng Linhan suddenly laughed, "Haha, since you are so smart, you must have thought about this result."

Her lowered eyes did not show any acceptance of the bleak reality, but rather a fearlessness in facing danger.

"You're right. So, even though I knew it was a trap, I still came here." She also walked towards Zheng Linhan.

"However, there is another reason. I believe that even if I am alone, even if it is a trap, I have the confidence to turn danger into safety, or even turn defeat into victory."

Her arrogant words immediately caused Zheng Linhan to laugh, "Haha, you are really confident."

"Haha, after all, you are my defeated opponent." In response to Zheng Linhan's laughter, she was even bolder, even provocative.

This sentence successfully angered Zheng Linhan, who glared at him, "Jiang Qingyu, you finally showed your true colors, didn't you?"

"You are not as well-behaved and sensible as you are in front of His Majesty."

She even grinned nonchalantly, "If your plan is to tell Brother Zhou about this, then go ahead."

"Heh, do you think I'd be that stupid?" Zheng Linhan snorted disdainfully.

"Whether it's possible or not, I don't care who you bring. As long as you come, you're in my game."

She had an ominous premonition in her heart. Why was Zheng Linhan so confident?

"Whatever your plan is, now that I'm here, tell me the answer." She asked in a casual manner.

"Okay, since you want to know so much, I'll tell you."

Zheng Linhan smiled and said word by word, "It's not a big deal. Your mother was just unlucky. She heard someone sneaking into Jiang's house to discuss government affairs with Jiang Zhuo. So, her fate is death."

Jiang Qingyu's mother's life was just mentioned in a few casual words, without any emotion, but this deepened her hatred.

"Who is that person?" She suppressed the murderous intent in her heart and asked the last name.

Zheng Linhan paid attention to her expression, slowly moved closer to her ear, and read out the man's name.

Her heart fluttered slightly at the name, and she just wondered if there was any credibility to it.

However, in Zheng Linhan's opinion, she was so shocked that she couldn't speak. Unfortunately, she didn't see the pain she wanted to see on her face.

"That's disappointing, I thought you would be sad?"

She didn't answer her question, and took a deep breath, "Tell me, what do you want to do with me?"

"You are really confident. I want to see how long you can keep it up."

"Come out!" Zheng Linhan said.

In a moment, the scene before her shocked her.

There were several strong men, concubines and maids in the harem, and more than ten people in the whole room in an instant. Everyone was holding a stick or even a dagger.

"What do you want to do?" In shock, everyone kept approaching her.

She didn't understand Zheng Linhan's intention, so she turned around to escape, only to find that the door had been locked at some point.

Zheng Linhan's vicious voice filled her mind, "Jiang Qingyu, you can't escape!"

……

Prince Xiao’s Mansion.

"Qing Yu! Qing Yu!" Xiao Wenshu kept calling her at the door of the bathhouse and ordered the maid beside him to go in and check.

"What happened?" Zhou Yian also ran over anxiously.

"I didn't see Qingyu just now. The maid said she was still bathing, but it's been more than half an hour."

As soon as the voice fell, the maid ran over in panic and reported, "Prince, the princess is not in the bathroom!"

After getting this answer, Xiao Wenshu's heart sank, "Go find it quickly!"

"It's over! Could Qingyu have run away?!"

"Run away?" Zhou Yian frowned in confusion, "Would Qing Yi have run away with His Highness on his back before?!"

"Yes!" Xiao Wenshu nodded with a bitter face.

After getting this answer, Zhou Yian's heart sank, "That's it!"

"Hurry! Let's look around the mansion to see if there are any clues." Zhou Yian hurriedly made arrangements. He never expected that Qing Yu, who seemed well-behaved, would actually sneak away.

If his senior brother came back, both he and Wen Shu would be dead!

Everyone searched everywhere and finally found a clue.

"Brother Zhou, look!"

"I found the note left by Qing Yu in the study."

Xiao Wenshu hurriedly opened it, and Zhou Yian also came forward, only to see the note read: Yan Qing, I'm sorry, I'm going to the harem to see Zheng Linhan, wait for me.

"Zheng Linhan? Concubine Zheng?" Zhou Yian read out the name.

"Here's more." Xiao Wenshu took out the strip of cloth that Zheng Linhan gave her.

"How to do?"

Zhou Yian noticed the current time, "Wenshu, take this and go to the palace immediately. It's almost time for His Highness to leave the palace."

"Okay, prepare the horses!"

Xiao Wenshu rode as fast as he could to the palace.

Fang Ruo, who was looking for her, searched the harem for a long time but couldn't find any trace of her.

"Where will the princess go?"

The maid repeatedly told her that she must have seen it wrong, but she believed her eyes.

Is the princess going to meet someone in the harem?

Suddenly, a person flashed in her mind, Zheng Linhan? !

Fang Ruo immediately realized that something was wrong, "Go and tell His Majesty that the princess has gone to the cold palace!"

"But... His Majesty seems to be still in the lobby..."

"Go quickly! Something must have happened!" Fang Ruo urged anxiously.

The maid did not dare to disobey and ran towards the hall according to her order, while Fang Ruo also immediately ran to the cold palace.
