The Jiang family’s wedding celebration has come to an end.

When everyone had left, Xue Yan went to the general’s mansion’s firewood room.

Xue Ru was lying in the firewood room, her eyes filled with hatred. When she heard a sound, she instinctively looked towards the door.

Seeing the person who entered, Xue Ru showed a hint of surprise in her eyes, “It’s you?”

“When do you plan to let me go?”

“You might not be able to leave.”

Hearing Xue Yan’s words, Xue Ru was taken aback. After a few seconds of silence, she looked at Xue Yan and laughed, “Aunt, do you plan to kill me?”

Although she was laughing, there was not a hint of a smile in Xue Ru’s eyes. On closer inspection, there was even a hint of panic.

Hearing Xue Ru’s words, Xue Yan nodded and directly said, “You guessed right. I indeed plan to kill you.”

There was seriousness in Xue Yan’s eyes. Seeing her expression, fear appeared in Xue Ru’s eyes. After a few seconds, her eyes darkened as she glared at Xue Yan, “Have you gone mad? I am your own niece.”

“Because you’re my niece, you’ve lived till now.”

“Xue Ru, 1 can’t let you harm my child anymore. So, today, you must die.”

“If you kill me, how will you explain to my father?”

“I will seek forgiveness from Big Brother!”

As soon as Xue Ru finished speaking, Xue Yan instructed someone by her side, “Bring it here.”

Following Xue Yan’s command, a maid brought a bowl of medicine.

“Give it to her.”

“No, I won’t drink, 1 won’t…”

Seeing the maid approaching her, Xue Ru screamed in disbelief, unable to fathom that Xue Yan would actually kill her.

But before Xue Ru could finish, the maid grabbed her hand.

The bowl of medicine was then poured into Xue Ru’s mouth.

Watching this scene, Xue Yan showed no emotion.

Soon, blood spewed from Xue Ru’s mouth. She looked at Xue Yan with eyes filled with pain and a hint of complexity.

Xue Yan just silently watched Xue Ru, saying nothing.

News of this spread quickly.

The Plum Garden received the news as well.

Hearing Yue Er’s words, Jiang Peihuan’s eyes showed a hint of complexity. After a while, she softly asked, “How did mother deal with Xue Ru’s body?”

“First Madam sent Miss Xue’s body back to the Prince Qing’s mansion.”

Prince Qing’s mansion.

Xiao Junhao was still recovering, with Lin Mengyao by his side.

“When will this wound heal?”

Looking at Lin Mengyao applying medicine, Xiao Junhao softly inquired.

After carefully tending to the wound, Lin Mengyao softly replied, “The wound is deep; it will take at least a month to heal.”

Hearing Lin Mengyao’s words, Xiao Junhao frowned but remained silent.

When he saw Prince Rui attempting to assassinate Emperor Qi Ming, Xiao Junhao immediately stepped in to block.

As Prince Rui’s sword pierced his body, Xiao Junhao was prepared to die, but surprisingly he survived.

Not only did he survive, but he was also named Crown Prince by Emperor Qi Ming.

When he heard this news, excitement filled Xiao Junhao’s eyes.

However, now, he felt no excitement at all.

Because Emperor Qi Ming only named him Crown Prince but showed no intention of letting him move into the East Palace. So, even though Xiao Junhao was now the Crown Prince, he still lived in the Prince Qing’s mansion.

“Your Highness?”

At this moment, the voice of a maid came from outside the door.

Lin Mengyao looked at Xiao Junhao, then walked outside.

“What is it?”

When she stepped out, Lin Mengyao’s eyes were filled with coldness.

The maid quickly spoke, “Your Highness, the body of Secondary Consort Xue has been delivered to the mansion’s entrance.”

“She’s dead?”

“Yes.”

Seeing the maid nod, Lin Mengyao frowned, “Any news from the Jiang family?”

“Everything is normal.”

Hearing this, Lin Mengyao frowned deeper, “Useless.”

“Your Highness, how should we handle Secondary Consort Xue’s body?”

“Just find a place and bury her.”

“Yes.”

As Lin Mengyao spoke, the maid wanted to say something. But meeting Lin Mengyao’s gaze, she remained silent.

Jiang Yan died, Xue Ru died, now Lin Mengyao was the only princess consort in the Prince Qing mansion.

Although Lin Mengyao was also a side consort, no one dared to address her as such in the current mansion. They all addressed her as “Your Highness.”

After the maid left, Lin Mengyao returned to her room.

Xiao Junhao was leaning by the bed. Hearing the movement, he softly asked, “What happened?”

“Your Highness, Secondary Consort Xue is dead.”

“She’s dead?”

Hearing Lin Mengyao’s words, Xiao Junhao, who had been resting with closed eyes, opened them.

Seeing Lin Mengyao nod, he nonchalantly said, “Well, if she’s dead, she’s dead.”

From the moment Xue Ru was abandoned by the Xue family, Xiao Junhao felt nothing for her.

Seeing Xiao Junhao’s indifferent expression, Lin Mengyao’s eyes revealed complexity.

She always knew he was heartless, but she didn’t expect him to be this cold.

Regarding the affairs of the Prince’s Qing mansion, Jiang Peihuan was unaware.

Having stayed in the general’s mansion for some time, Jiang Peihuan didn’t linger this time. After Liu Xin returned three days later, Jiang Peihuan and Xiao Nanye returned to Cheng Mansion.

But as Jiang Peihuan alighted from the carriage, she saw a palace maid from Kun Ning Palace waiting.

Seeing Xiao Nanye and Jiang Peihuan, she hurriedly approached, “Greetings, King and Queen Cheng.”

“Why aren’t you serving the Empress in the palace? Why are you here?” Xiao Nanye inquired immediately upon seeing her.

Seeing her, Xiao Nanye spoke directly.

Hearing Xiao Nanye’s words, the palace maid hurriedly explained, “Your

Highness, the Empress is unwell. The nanny sent me to ask if the queen could come to the palace.”

“What happened to the Empress?”

“This servant doesn’t know. Only that she began to have abdominal pains after waking up today.”

“Xiao Nanye, let’s go to the palace.”

Upon hearing this, Jiang Peihuan spoke without hesitation, looking to her husband.

Xiao Nanye nodded, and both got back into the carriage.

Previously, Jiang Peihuan visited the Empress daily. But after the Empress’s condition stabilized, she changed to visiting every three days.

Counting the days, Jiang Peihuan was originally scheduled to check the Empress’s pulse tomorrow.

Following the palace maid to Kun Ning Palace, Xiao Nanye went to Qianqing Hall.

As Jiang Peihuan entered Kun Ning Palace, she heard the Empress’s moans.

“Queen Cheng, you’re here?”

The people of Kun Ning Palace saw Jiang Peihuan as their last hope. The old nanny’s eyes were filled with excitement upon seeing her.

Jiang Peihuan approached the bed and after paying respects to the Empress, she immediately checked her pulse.

While doing so, she couldn’t help but frown.

“What did the Empress eat these past few days?”

Hearing Jiang Peihuan’s words, the old nanny quickly called the maid responsible for the Empress’s meals..
