Chapter 5, She caused someone's death

This concubine of Hua is wholeheartedly speaking ill of Princess Lin in Murong Zi's ear. Can a person who loves to gossip like this be considered simple-minded?

What does the princess mean by this? What does it mean that she caused Chun'er to die? ... Chun'er ...? ... Is she the personal maid beside Princess Lin? So it turns out that the princess, who is crying so sorrowfully, is actually mourning the death of her own maid?

But at this critical moment, she unexpectedly heard such news...? ... Wouldn't that mean that her long-standing efforts would be in vain?

Lowering her clear and bright eyes, Murong Zi tried to conceal the disdain in her gaze, deliberately lowering her voice to speak softly and dejectedly: "Lady Hua, you may not be aware, but the prince has clearly informed me today that he will soon choose a husband for me. It seems that your wishes may not come to fruition."

Look at the friends that Murong Zi used to associate with...

It seems that this side consort is very clear in her mind that the prince harbors an extraordinary disdain for Murong Zi. Since she understands that the prince cannot tolerate Murong Zi at all, why must she still insist on promoting her?

Then what are your plans? She only understands the prince's intentions now and has yet to figure out what the princess herself thinks! It seems that the princess has not given up!

The noble consort Hua immediately grasped Murong Zi's hands tightly, her words revealing a hint of urgency, "Your Highness, you must think this through. This matter of marriage is not a trivial matter. If you marry someone who is not to your liking, it could ruin your happiness for a lifetime! You must consider this carefully!"

She thought the prince had summoned her for some purpose, but it turned out someone had died... However, it seems that no one knows she is skilled in autopsy, right

How can a person with ill intentions expect to receive good returns?

Her expression of resignation, as if it were "fate's will," was difficult for Consort Hua to accept. At this moment, she felt the need to calm herself down.

This was originally something that Murong Zi did not take to heart, but unexpectedly, after two days, she found herself embroiled in a dispute

Early the next morning, as Murong Zi opened her eyes, she heard Xiaolian's report, stating that the Princess of Lin had sent someone to deliver precious nourishing porridge, specifically to help her recuperate. Although she was somewhat surprised by the Princess's goodwill, Murong Zi did not dwell on it. However, when she looked at the dark porridge, she frowned slightly, said nothing, and simply instructed Xiaolian to take it away.

What can be done? You know the prince's temperament; once he has made a decision, it cannot be changed. "With a long sigh, I must admit that I have indeed gone a bit too far this time. The prince is certainly not someone who can be easily coerced.

Murong Zi felt a bit of pain from her grip, discreetly withdrawing her hand, and then gently patting her delicate hand in return, feigning gratitude as she said: "Thank you for your kind intentions, Consort Hua, but the facts are before us, and I cannot refuse. Although our wish to be sisters is no longer possible, the bond of sisterhood between us still exists." After a pause, she revealed a hint of sorrow, "I only hope that the prince can find me a truly trustworthy person to whom I can entrust my life."

My lord, you must take a stand for me. Chun'er has been with me all these years, working diligently and selflessly, showing me great care and consideration. I have never regarded her as an outsider, yet now she is wrongfully accused and harmed, which truly breaks my heart

As long as she has not given up on the prince, everything will be manageable. She will surely find a way to persuade her to continue approaching the prince

What? The side consort of the Hua family was clearly taken aback, "Your Highness... does Your Highness intend to expel you from the royal residence?" How could things have turned out this way? If His Highness marries the princess off to someone else, how can she remain in the residence alone and bring down the Princess Lin?

What is the purpose of calling her here

Princess, what exactly are your intentions? Why did you want to harm my Chun'er?

At noon on that day, Murong Zi had just finished her lunch and was preparing to take an afternoon nap when Xiao Lian hurriedly ran in to say that the prince had sent someone to invite her to the main courtyard. She did not think too much about it and, after a simple tidying up, leisurely walked over with Xiao Lian. As soon as they entered the main courtyard gate, they heard the sound of a woman crying. Puzzled about what the Chu Wang wanted with her, she couldn't help but stop.

But what does this have to do with her

No wonder the princess has been feeling down and hiding in her room these past few days; she must have anticipated that the prince would take such measures to expel her from the residence. Had she known that things would turn out this way, she should have come earlier to offer her some comfort and encouragement before the prince made those remarks. Perhaps she would not have so readily accepted the prince's arrangements with such despondency.

It is not easy to find someone of equal status to stand with oneself, and given that this princess possesses only a beautiful exterior, as long as the Lin Princess is dealt with, toppling this not-so-wise princess would be a simple task.

Her sarcastic smile made Concubine Hua's heart tremble, leading her to believe that Murong Zi had no way out and was planning to accept the prince's arrangement

What? Murong Zi was momentarily taken aback, her clothing at the chest being tightly grasped by Lin Xier, while the sudden and inexplicable accusations ringing in her ears prevented her from immediately entering the situation.

However, it seems that these matters have nothing to do with her; saying that she brought her misfortune upon herself would not be entirely unfounded

Are the women of ancient times merely those who have nothing to do after having their fill? It is one thing if they cannot become a princess themselves, but why push her into that position? What benefits does it bring her? ... With such ambition, why not put in more effort for herself? Instead of using this energy to encourage her to compete for the position of princess, it would be better to utilize that time to plan for her own future. Perhaps, if she is not careful, she might actually ascend to that position herself...

It is often said that women in ancient times were filled with sorrow, and this statement holds true. She looked to the left and to the right, and the more she observed, the more she felt that Concubine Hua was indeed unfortunate... The true Murong Zi, for a love that did not belong to her, resorted to extreme measures that led to her tragic demise, while Concubine Hua, being so full of schemes, will inevitably reap the bitter fruits of her actions in the future...

Murong Zixin secretly scoffed. Looking at the woman before her, who was considerate of her in both demeanor and speech, she let out another cold sigh

Murong Ziye did not try to keep her, secretly smiling in her heart as she watched the hurried departure of her figure, shaking her head with a hint of pity

It seems that the princess has been unwell these past few days, and it is only natural to have excessive worries, which may have led to feelings of wanting to escape and retreat. I shall not disturb the princess any further, and I hope she can take the time to reflect and think clearly. One must not easily commit oneself for a lifetime. I also hope the princess will not continue in such a state of despondency, as it is particularly detrimental to her health. I have other matters to attend to, so I will not trouble the princess any longer

Since she had come, it was impossible for her to just leave. Murong Zi shook her head and walked indifferently into the hall. As soon as she appeared, before she had the chance to pay her respects, she saw Lin Xier, who was kneeling on the ground and crying like a tearful person, suddenly pounce towards her.

The sound of Lin Xier's heart-wrenching cries came from the room, causing Murong Zi to furrow her brows involuntarily

Murong Ziren couldn't help but curl her lips in a mocking smile
