Chapter 257 The Palace Maid's Revenge and Sudden Wealth (1)
The Imperial Palace.
Scorching sun.
Su Dingding knelt outside the bedroom.
This scene feels strangely familiar.
These people in the palace are always forcing people to kneel!
Su Dingding felt a little dizzy, her forehead was covered in sweat, and her legs were numb.
"I want to enjoy the air conditioning and a cold drink."
She frowned unhappily and stood up unsteadily.
[Host, please receive the original owner's memories first.]
The original owner's name was Bai Yingying.
She was indeed a 19-year-old girl who sold barbecue after graduating from junior high school. She drowned while trying to save a child who jumped into the river.
When she woke up again, she found herself transmigrated into the novel she had just finished reading, but not as the female lead, but as Chunying, a cannon fodder palace maid next to the villainous Consort Qi.
When she transmigrated, it was Consort Qi who ordered her to bribe Consort Zheng's personal maid to frame Consort Zheng for practicing witchcraft against the Emperor.
At that time, the emperor had eight sons. Apart from the crown prince, the most qualified to compete for the throne were Consort Qi's fourth son and Consort Zheng's third son.
Although the Crown Prince was the Empress's son, Consort Qi never took him seriously; he was a complete fool!
The only one who can rival her son is the Third Prince!
So she started by targeting Consort Zheng, making the Emperor dislike and be wary of the Third Prince.
In the original book, Consort Zheng was confined to her quarters, but the Third Prince quickly found out the truth.
The Emperor came to confront Consort Qi, and Chunying took the blame, being dragged away and beaten to death.
Bai Yingying carried the original owner's memories and didn't want to lose her head because of this.
Therefore, he did not obey Consort Qi's orders, but instead dealt with her and waited for an opportunity to leave Consort Qi.
After all, she also has a cheat code, which is knowing the plot of all the main characters!
As long as you find an opportunity to get close to the male and female leads and latch onto them, you can save your life.
Later, she met the Fifth Prince, the younger brother of the Third Prince, through a paper airplane.
After becoming acquainted with the Fifth Prince, she also met the Third Prince. She casually recited a poem by Li Bai, which amazed everyone and successfully won their favor.
A few days later, she was transferred to serve Consort Zheng, the mother of the Third Prince.
Later, she learned that the Emperor had grown tired of the dishes from the Imperial Kitchen and had made barbecue and hot pot. The Emperor praised them highly and promoted Consort Zheng to Imperial Concubine Zheng, and also gave Bai Yingying many rewards.
From then on, Bai Yingying's relationship with the main characters grew better and better.
However, Consort Qi also hated her to the core and often caused her trouble.
Fortunately, Bai Yingying also escaped danger with the help of the male and female protagonists.
Until the Fourth Prince, who was fighting on the border, returned victorious.
The Fourth Prince is the second male lead in this book. He likes the female lead and is competing with the Third Prince for the throne.
When I first read the book, Bai Yingying quite liked him. He was a cold-faced prince who would stop at nothing for the woman he loved, and he did so many bad things, killing without blinking an eye.
However, his end was also tragic. After the Third Prince ascended the throne, he crippled his legs, demoted him to a commoner, and forced him to marry an ugly peasant girl. On their wedding night, several old women were made to witness the ceremony, and the matter was only resolved after the ceremony was over.
After the grand wedding, he was sent to a harsh and cold place, never to return to the capital.
Unable to bear the humiliation, he committed suicide.
Upon first meeting the Fourth Prince, Bai Yingying deliberately avoided him.
She wasn't love-struck, nor did she have the mission to save the villains, so she focused solely on clinging to the male and female leads.
But fate is cruel; as a modern person, she was too special and was still targeted by the Fourth Prince.
The Fourth Prince took the initiative to approach her, showing her concern and care, and even deliberately creating romantic moments.
Bai Yingying was initially excited, thinking that the Fourth Prince liked her.
Later, she learned that the Fourth Prince only wanted to use her to ruin the relationship between the male and female leads, so she stopped seeing him.
After all, the male and female leads treated her very well, and Bai Yingying only wanted to save her life, leave the palace, and open her own restaurant.
At the same time, she subtly helped the male and female protagonists escape danger multiple times and performed many extraordinary feats.
This made the Fourth Prince extremely jealous, so he framed Bai Yingying for poisoning the Emperor.
Consort Zheng was also implicated and placed under house arrest.
Fortunately, the Third Prince and the female lead, along with other main characters, rescued her.
Bai Yingying was furious when she learned that the mastermind was the Fourth Prince. A villain is a villain. She actually felt sorry for him when she was reading the book. She must have lost her mind!
What she didn't expect was that the Fourth Prince actually wanted to ruin her and the Third Prince's reputation, and tricked them into a room with sleeping potions.
Once they have a relationship, the Third Prince will no longer have the face to face the female lead, and will have no right to compete for the throne.
Fortunately, the Third Prince had a strong will and sensed something was wrong, thus escaping a disaster.
Finally, with the help of Consort Qi, the Fourth Prince found an opportunity to order Bai Yingying to commit suicide.
The male and female protagonists didn't have time to save her and thought Bai Yingying was really dead.
In reality, she was simply imprisoned by the Fourth Prince.
When Bai Yingying refused to submit, the Fourth Prince beat and humiliated her, and even forced her to drink an abortion pill after she became pregnant.
After being tormented for months, Bai Yingying could no longer bear the humiliation and revealed the Fourth Prince's tragic end, deliberately provoking him.
In his fury, the Fourth Prince nearly strangled her to death, but in the end he spared her breath so she could see for herself who would have the last laugh.
Despite his many schemes, it was the third prince who ultimately became emperor.
The Fourth Prince's attempt to force the emperor to abdicate failed, and not wanting to repeat the same mistake, he slit his own throat in the main hall.
Bai Yingying was locked in a deserted courtyard house.
Those who knew she was imprisoned here were either dead or had left; no one cared about her anymore.
A few days later, her life ended tragically.
……
"Host, the original owner's request is for the Fourth Prince and Consort Qi to be taken out of the game as soon as possible so that she can focus on her career after taking revenge. Also... she wants to return to her home in the real world," Gangzi said.
Su Dingding looked up at the sky, his eyes vacant.
Gangzi silently transformed into a dark cloud, obscuring Su Dingding's head.
The host is starting to question the meaning of life again.
The original owner was not romantically inclined.
He also did not attempt to change the villain.
However, she also made a fatal mistake: she failed to recognize her own position.
A palace maid getting involved in the fates of those princes? Does she really think that transmigrating into a book gives her an extra head?
He thought he was so clever, but he got humiliated.
[Host, Bai Yingying is being punished by Consort Qi to kneel because Consort Qi thinks she lost her cat.]
"Chunying, who told you to get up?"
Consort Qi's personal maid, Su Xiang, came out and glared at Su Dingding arrogantly.
"I saw Consort Qi's cat, I'm going to bring it back right now!" Su Dingding got up and ran off without saying another word.
"Hey!"
Su Xiang couldn't stop Su Dingding, and stomped her feet in anger.
Consort Qi has been ordering Chunying around with everything lately. Suxiang is worried that Chunying will take her place, so she deliberately drowns Consort Qi's cat and frames her for it!
How could a dead cat that she buried herself possibly be found again?
Chunying is trying to avoid punishment!
Su Xiang turned and went inside to complain, but before she could finish speaking, she suddenly heard a cat meow.
Su Xiang was so frightened that her face turned purple. How could this be?
"It's Daju back!" Consort Qi put down her teacup and looked towards the door. A big, fat orange cat strode in.
Su Xiang bit her lip, unable to believe it. Could it be that Da Ju... wasn't dead?
But after the first big orange cat walked in, soon a second, a third...
"Where did all these cats come from?!"
"Ah, help!"
