An Eight-year-old Princess

Chapter 110 Wrath Of Lady Shun Qing （Part One)

Since there were two voices, one must belong to Xiu Xin, and the other to Lady Gao.

Lady Gao spoke again, "I am determined to live up to the expectation of the Empress. After I saw that

Prince Shun Qing and Lady Shun Qing were fine, I decided to kill someone and frame Princess Hui

Guo. Although it wasn't Prince Shun Qing and Lady Shun Qing that were killed, Wu Qi, after all, is an

official. Moreover, I saw Wu Qi's daughter seducing my husband. She is such a minx! So, I asked you

to give Wu Qi two sachets in the name of the Empress. I thought he would give one sachet to his wife,

but he gave it to his daughter. Regardless, he solved a big challenge for me. The bitch is unable to

seduce my husband now."

Hardly had Lady Gao's voice faded away, Xiu Xin's voice could be heard from within the room, "Before

the Empress gave the sandalwood box to Princess Hui Guo as a gift, we tested it many times, and the

mechanism did work. I don't understand why it didn't work in Princess Hui Guo's hands. The Empress

asked me to do something on the peach-shaped carving made of jadeite. When blood streaks

appeared on it, Lady Shun Qing would take the carving to examine it out of curiosity. But I don't

understand why she is unharmed. I will report everything to the Empress in detail when I return. Your

Ladyship, when you are in the front hall later, please ask someone to check the sachets carefully. The

cloth and silk threads used to make the sachets are supplied to the Imperial Palace only, and the

embroidery method belongs to a servant of Princess Hui Guo. What you need to do is remind Prince

Shun Qing and Lady Shun Qing of these facts. They are clever people and are sure to conclude that it

was Princess Hui Guo."

"I get it. The Empress has helped me eliminate my rivals, and I should, in return, help her. I know what

to do next..."

Before Lady Gao could finish her words, Yun Shang saw Prince Shun Qing signaling to the guard

standing nearby. The guard immediately pushed open the windows and rushed in. A scream was heard

next. Yun Shang narrowed her eyes as she saw a figure in green dashing out from the room and

disappearing in a trice.

Yun Shang stood still instead of entering the room. Although she was involved in the event, this was

Prince Shun Qing's family affair and she was an outsider. She could not make things harder.

Yun Shang realized Prince Jing was staring at her. But she ignored him. She stood where she was and

let her eyes settle on the distant long corridor. Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

"Prince Jing, Princess Yun Shang, please, come in." Prince Shun Qing's voice came from within. Yun

Shang walked to the door and entered the room. She saw a lady had collapsed in a chair. It was a cold

winter day, but her forehead was wet with perspiration. She was too frightened to utter a single word.

"My Prince, the servant girl knows better martial arts than I do. She has escaped. Please forgive my

incompetence." A guard appeared in front of everyone.

Prince Shun Qing sneered, "I underestimated the Empress as I didn't expect her servant girl to be so

competent. I'm going to take vengeful Lady Gao to the Imperial Palace and ask the Emperor and

Empress why they hate me so much. If they want me to die, they just need to tell me frankly, and I will

commit suicide. They don't need to use plots."

Yun Shang bit her lower lip, and her eyes turned red. She spoke softly, "It's not my father's fault, and

I'm the one to blame. I'm only a less favored Princess. I don't understand why the Empress hates me

so much and even set this trap for me. My Prince, Your Ladyship, it was me who got you, Mister Wu,

and his daughter in trouble. They were killed because of me."

Hearing Yun Shang's words, Prince Shun Qing sighed, and then gnashed his teeth, "I've long believed

the Empress to be a virtuous lady who treats the Emperor's concubines and Princess Yun Shang well. I

didn't expect her to be so terrible. She is an incompetent Empress!"

Yun Shang was delighted after hearing Prince Shun Qing. Although Prince Shun Qing was only a

disengaged Prince, he was the Emperor's uncle. If Prince Shun Qing and Lady Shun Qing stirred

trouble for the Empress, even though Li Yiran's position as the Empress would not be affected, she

would be in trouble for a long time. Yun Shang figured this out in her mind but acted innocent on the

surface. She unctuously squeezed out several drops of tears, "It's all my fault. It was me who brought

the peach-shaped carving here. My Prince, Your Ladyship, if anything had happened to you, I would

feel a tremendous amount of guilt."

Lady Shun Qing held Yun Shang's hand in both of hers and comforted her for a while. Then she turned

to Lady Gao and snorted, "You are the daughter of a concubine and used to be bullied by the Li Clan.

Although your husband is unable to inherit the title, I thought your life was much better in Prince Shun

Qing's Mansion than at the Li Clan. Why did you try to kill my husband and me? How dare you?"

The lady closed her eyes and sneered. After a long time, she opened her mouth, "The deed is done.

There's no need to explain my actions. I don't care whether you punish me or kill me. Just get it over

with."

Lady Shun Qing frowned, "You worked yourself to the bone for your sister, the Empress. I don't know

what's your profit for doing this. To kill you now, would be a favor to you. Rui'er must be playing in the

front hall now..."

The lady suddenly opened her eyes in consternation, "No! You can't! Rui'er is your grandson..."

"Grandson? With such a vicious mother like you, he is sure to be an unfilial child. I'd rather cut off the

grass and take out its roots than cherish a snake in my bosom." Yun Shang could not bear to give Lady

Shun Qing a sidelong look after hearing her words. She knew that Lady Shun Qing was not an ordinary

person. After all, she was the beloved wife of Prince Shun Qing, and Prince Shun Qing's Mansion was

completely decorated in accordance with her preferences. Yun Shang then turned to Prince Shun Qing,

who was undisturbed by what he had heard. 'I thought men liked virtuous wives, ' she thought to

herself.

Lady Gao gnashed her teeth before finally shedding tears, "Mother, I beg you, please don't hurt Rui'er,

please..."

Lady Shun Qing sneered, "Don't hurt Rui'er? Why should I let him go? Give me a reason!"

Lady Gao slid down the chair, fell on her knees, and held Lady Shun Qing's leg, "Mother, if you spare

Rui'er, I'll do whatever you ask me to do..."

Lady Shun Qing curled her lips, "I won't ask you to do evil, though that is your strength. What you need

to do is come to the Imperial Palace with us and report everything that the Empress and you planned to

the Emperor. If you behave well, I'll take care of Rui'er and promise that Rui'er will have a good future.

Don't worry."

Lady Gao gnashed her teeth and closed her eyes for a long time. Then she nodded, "I'll do it..." After

her promise, she started to blubber like a child.

Lady Shun Qing nodded and turned to Yun Shang and Prince Jing. She asked, "Princess Yun Shang,

Prince Jing, are you coming to the Imperial Palace with us?"

Yun Shang's eyes were red from the crying. Hearing the question, she immediately nodded, "All this

happened because of me. Of course, I should admit my mistake to my father and ask for punishment."

Prince Jing also nodded, "Yun Shang's concern is mine, too. If the vicious lady wants to start a fight,

Yun Shang might be wronged." The vicious lady was what he called the Empress. Prince Jing knew

Yun Shang had been pretending to be innocent, but he also knew that Yun Shang hated the Empress

and Hua Jing very much. When he thought of Yun Shang's miserable past, he began to hate the

Empress even more.

Prince Shun Qing asked the butler to explain to the guests and serve them properly. Then, he left the

house and headed directly for the Imperial Palace with his wife, daughter-in-law, Princess Yun Shang,

and Prince Jing.

Prince Jing didn't ride a horse, instead, he sat in Yun Shang's carriage. Yun Shang had to ask Qin Yi

and Qian Yin to take another carriage.

Only Yun Shang and Prince Jing were in the carriage. Prince Jing stared at Yun Shang for a long time

before speaking, "Xiu Xin knows martial arts. But in Prince Shun Qing's Mansion right now, even Prince

Shun Qing's guard was unable to catch her. I didn't think she was that capable."

Yun Shang stayed calm after hearing his words, "Are you talking to me, Uncle Jing? Does Xiu Xin know

martial arts?" Yun Shang asked with a slight frown. She hesitated for a while and then said, "I've stayed

at the Imperial Palace for so short a time, I wouldn't know if Xiu Xin knew martial arts."

Prince Jing didn't believe her at all, "An honest man says nothing deceitful. Was it you that arranged an

imposter to pose as Xiu Xin? The imposter Xiu Xin seems to be have the same figure as Qian Qian."

Yun Shang's smile froze on her face as she muttered, "Really? Uncle Jing, you have such good

eyesight."

Prince Jing didn't respond. Instead, he kept staring at her. Yun Shang felt guilty, but she knew he bore

no ill will, otherwise he would have said all this in front of Prince Shun Qing and Lady Shun Qing,

instead of talking to her privately. She sighed, "Qian Qian is very adept at disguising as someone else.

Martial art is not her only talent."

Prince Jing seemed to be pleased with her words and nodded, "You have so many talented

companions." Yun Shang was relieved as Prince Jing had no intention of making a detailed

inquiry.
