Chapter 197 The Divorced Princess
Du Wanjun was the legitimate daughter of Du Shangshu and married the emperor's son, King Cheng, as a princess.
When she went back to her parents' home when she was pregnant, her younger sister Du Wanying, with whom she had always had a good relationship, told her enviously that she wanted to visit the palace.
As a result, Du Wanying hooked up with Prince Cheng Xiao Tingye within two days and was made a concubine.
Later, Du Wanjun gave birth to a daughter and lived in her own yard.
When her daughter was three years old, she suddenly suffered from food poisoning. Du Wanjun asked Xiao Tingye to call the imperial physician to treat her.
But Xiao Tingye thought she was playing tricks and ignored her.
Du Wanjun watched her daughter slowly die. Later, Du Wanying said that the child died for no apparent reason and that she might have provoked some evil spirit.
Xiao Tingye ordered his daughter's bones to be dug out, put on a pile of firewood, and burned to ashes.
He also ordered Du Wanjun to be imprisoned.
That night, Du Wanying ordered her to be strangled to death and thrown into a mass grave.
By chance, he ran into the brothel's top prostitute Liu Yaorao who was passing by the mass grave. Seeing that she was still breathing, he took her back to the brothel.
Du Wanjun said she wanted revenge, so she took Liu Yaorao as her teacher to learn the art of seduction. Then she would find a chance to return to the palace to seek revenge.
Three years later, word spread in the capital about a naturally charming top prostitute named Wu Mei, but no one had ever seen her true face.
Xiao Tingye really took the bait and took her back to the palace.
At this time, Du Wanying had been promoted to princess and had given birth to a son.
A person brought back to the palace, without any name or status, was she still at the mercy of the princess? She found a random excuse and beat her to death.
Du Wanjun: ...
"I'm so unwilling to give up! I'm so stupid! I shouldn't have entered the palace again! If I had this much time, I could have just gone straight to the palace and seduced the emperor. As long as I could have gained his trust, wouldn't it have been much easier to control that adulterous couple?"
Sheng Jiang: ? ? It's true that she's stupid. Even if she could win the emperor's heart with just her charm, how could she possibly succeed?
Men are extremely clear-headed when it comes to endangering their own interests. If you dare to fight his son, he will think you are interfering in state affairs, and the end will still be miserable.
"I want revenge!"
"As you wish!" After saying that, Sheng Jiang disappeared.
……
On this day, Du Wanying was coming to the palace to play.
Sheng Jiang was thinking about whether to assassinate the emperor directly at the palace banquet in front of everyone. If the emperor was furious, the entire Du family would be executed.
If the dragon robe is found in Prince Cheng's palace again, no matter how much he tries to argue, the emperor will not tolerate him!
As for the Du family, there was nothing to sympathize with. When Du Wanjun was Princess Cheng, they all fawned over her. Later, when Du Wanying was Princess Cheng, they turned to fawn over her.
No one thought of avenging Du Wanjun. Therefore, all of them died without regret.
There are still more than two months to go before the Mid-Autumn Palace Banquet.
"Sister, the palace is so big," Du Wanying was just like Granny Liu when she entered the Grand View Garden, and was startled by everything she saw.
"Do you like it? If you like it, stay longer. I've already sent someone back home to inform them, so you don't have to worry."
"Really?" Du Wanying's eyes sparkled. Thinking of the possibility of meeting the handsome Xiao Tingye, her face instantly flushed.
Sheng Jiang glanced at her without saying anything. It's still early before the palace banquet, so let's have some fun first.
Sure enough, that night, Du Wanying hooked up with Xiao Tingye.
The next morning, Xiao Tingye came to find Sheng Jiang, feeling a little guilty. "Princess, I've already had physical contact with Wanying. For the sake of our family's reputation, why don't you take her as a concubine?"
"How can she be a concubine? Why not just make her a consort?"
Xiao Tingye looked at Sheng Jiang in disbelief, "Princess, how can this be possible?"
"Why not? Your Highness and my sister love each other, and I don't want to be the one to break them up. Why not let them be together? It will also make a good story."
It's just that I have to wait for two months. I will ask for a divorce from the prince, and I hope the prince will grant my permission. However, during this period, I have to inconvenience my sister and follow the prince without any status.
"Why two months later?" Xiao Tingye was confused.
Ginger smiled mysteriously, "Of course I have to consider my own way out."
At this time, Du Wanying came in with red eyes, "Sister, I know I'm sorry for you, but the prince and I can't help it..."
Xiao Tingye hugged her distressedly, "This isn't your fault; I'm also at fault. Wanying, don't worry. The princess has just agreed to a divorce in two months. When that happens, I'll personally go and ask my father to solemnly welcome you into the family as his principal consort!"
Du Wanying was secretly delighted, but then she thought, "Two months is all it will take?" She wished she could make Du Wanjun a concubine today and become a princess herself tomorrow.
My sister is so tactless!
"Sister, why does it have to be two months later? The prince doesn't love you, and every day you cling to the title of princess will only make the capital city laugh... Or do you think that with just these two months, the prince can change his mind?"
Sheng Jiang said coldly, "Two months later, my child was born. Do you want the royal bloodline to be lost?"
Xiao Tingye, who was a little shaken after hearing Du Wanying's words, was also scared and broke out in a cold sweat. If we really divorce at this time, my father will definitely scold me once he finds out.
Du Wanying curled her lips. "These ancient people were so stubborn! They were staying with a man who didn't love them, yet they had to pretend to be gentle and generous. Even when I stole her man away, she still found some excuse and didn't dare to divorce me."
Sheng Jiang saw another sleeping soul in Du Wanying's body and waved his hand to call her out.
"I...where is this?"
The next sentence is, "Sister? No, who are you?"
Ginger touched the hair of the fourteen-year-old boy, who in modern times is still an adolescent.
"Do you want to see your sister? She's in my space."
"Yes! I haven't seen her in a long time."
Sheng Jiang called her again, "Do you still want that body of yours?"
"No. My sister said she's going to reincarnate after things are over here, so I'll go with her. Besides, that time-traveling girl used my body to seduce the prince. I feel sick just looking at that body now, so I won't want it anymore."
Du Wanying felt the disappearance of the other soul in her body, and her body relaxed. She was secretly happy, "Bitch, it finally disappeared! From now on, I don't have to worry about losing control of my body anymore."
For two months, even though King Cheng had Du Wanying, it did not stop him from going out to find other women.
Sheng Jiang, in keeping with the time-traveling girl's temperament, found her a young man whose looks were every bit as good as the prince's. He had eight-pack abs, sharp eyebrows, and bright eyes. He was handsome, suave, and elegant. Within two days, the time-traveling girl was completely captivated by him, and even the prince was forgotten.
Two months later, it was the emperor's birthday. This Mid-Autumn Festival banquet was particularly grand, and all civil and military officials in the court attended with their families.
The emperor was delighted and immediately asked the princes and their wives to perform. They could arrange for others to dance, compose poems, write calligraphy,
It was Ginger's turn. She said, "I only know how to dance with a sword. I don't know anything else. I'd like to dance with a sword to entertain your majesty."
Du Shangshu's forehead twitched with fear. "What nonsense are you talking about? When did you learn how to dance with a sword?"
Ginger smiled and said, "Daddy, my daughter just learned it a while ago."
The time-traveling girl was also skeptical and said without thinking, "Sister, even if you want to show off, you can't do this. If you can really dance it, it's fine. But if you can't, it will be a crime of deceiving the emperor. Sister, do you want the entire Shangshu Mansion to be buried with you?"
Sheng Jiang looked at her coldly, "What if I can dance it out?"
"If you can dance, I will kowtow to you in public to apologize! But if you can't dance..."
Sheng Jiang ignored her and turned to look at the emperor again, "Your Majesty, I am dancing with a sword and have a favor to ask of you."
The emperor was very interested in sword dancing. Since ancient times, women have mostly taken pride in playing the zither, chess, calligraphy, painting, and needlework. Has anyone ever seen sword dancing?
"What's the matter? Tell me."
"Today, we are hosting a banquet for all the ministers, so we must drink. The drinking order is like a military order, as important as a mountain. When I perform a dance, everyone must drink a cup. No one is allowed to leave their seat without permission. Otherwise, they will be executed!"
The emperor didn't think too much about it, "Yes!"
Ginger danced one move after another on the stage, and everyone drank one cup after another, and soon some people couldn't hold it back anymore.
There was a man who wanted to sneak out, and Jiang flew forward and stabbed the man with his sword, scaring him to death on the spot.
The emperor laughed happily, "What a loser!"
But he soon stopped laughing, because Sheng Jiang quickly turned around and stabbed the emperor's famous door with his sword.
This time it was the emperor who was terrified, "Protect the emperor! Protect the emperor!"
A group of guards rushed in.
Sheng Jiang held the sword across the emperor's neck and said, "Tell them to leave! Quick!"
The emperor was trembling, not knowing why such a good day had turned out like this?
"Get out, everyone get out"
Everyone looked at each other and finally retreated.
"Get me a fast horse!"
"Go and get ready!"
Minister Du was also terrified. As soon as he realized what was happening, he knelt on the ground, "Rebellious girl! Let the emperor go!"
Madam Du also shouted, "No, you are not my daughter! What kind of monster are you? How dare you pretend to be my daughter and assassinate the emperor!"
Minister Du also realized, "Yes, what kind of evil spirit are you? My daughter wouldn't even dare to step on an ant to death, how could she have the guts to assassinate the emperor?"
Ginger ignored them, "Are you ready?"
At this moment, someone rushed over and stabbed Sheng Jiang. Sheng Jiang pulled the emperor in front of him and said, "Your Highness, what are you doing? Do you want the emperor to die? So that you can become the new emperor by virtue of saving him?"
Seeing the emperor looking at him with suspicion, Xiao Tingye's heart skipped a beat and he quickly knelt down, "Father, I dare not! I just want to save you."
The emperor said nothing.
After a while, someone reported back that the horses were ready.
Sheng Jiang held the emperor hostage all the way to the palace gate. After she got on her horse, she pushed the emperor away and galloped away.
Although countless people shot arrows from behind, no one hit him.
Sheng Jiang looked at the Ferghana horse under him, which was advancing by leaps and bounds. Hehe, he could get such a treasure by assassinating an emperor. That was not bad.
The emperor was so frightened that he almost had a heart attack. After his heartbeat calmed down, he was furious and ordered the extermination of all nine generations of the Du family. The Chengwang Palace was also confiscated.
As expected, they found the dragon robe inside. The emperor was so angry that his heart ached and he wanted to have King Cheng torn into pieces by five horses.
The time-traveling woman's face turned pale: "Bitch! In the ancient times with strict hierarchy, you actually dared to assassinate the emperor and implicate me! No wonder you said you would wait two months before getting a divorce."
No, I don't want to die like this!
Yes, I have a baby in my belly, and I still have bargaining chips.
"Your Majesty! I'm already pregnant with the prince's child! Even if the prince is at fault, the child is innocent! I beg Your Majesty to show mercy and allow me to give birth to the child. I'll then be at Your Majesty's disposal!"
The emperor looked at the time-traveling girl coldly and said, "I never thought you were such a scheming woman. Call the imperial physician."
The imperial physician arrived quickly and took the time-traveling girl's pulse.
"Your Majesty, Miss Du is indeed pregnant and has been pregnant for three months."
What? Three months? The time-traveling woman screamed, "How is this possible? I don't believe it! Call another doctor!"
Xiao Tingye felt a green tinge on his head, "Bitch! You actually had another man before me? You have no shame!"
"Your Majesty, please believe me. You are the only one I have."
Several more doctors came and came to the same conclusion, "It is indeed more than three months old."
"Bitch!" Xiao Tingye slapped her. "Tell me, whose child is this?!"
The time-traveling girl didn't know either, after all, her only impression was of the prince and that handsome little brother.
Ginger: Surprising? Unexpected? Prickly?
"Drag him away and he will be torn into pieces!"
The emperor was furious. He dared to bring shame to the royal family and was tired of living!
And he demanded that anyone who dared to leak any information would be killed without mercy!
The imperial doctors trembled and dared not speak casually.
The emperor made a big fuss, posted wanted notices, and searched everywhere, but he couldn't find any trace of Jiang.
Little did he know that Sheng Jiang had already found an old forest and raised the souls of Xiao Tingye and the time-traveling girl together.
"What's going on? Wasn't I dead? Why am I still in this world?"
After a moment's reaction, the time-traveling girl was shocked. "I didn't return to my original world? What should I do? This world is too scary!"
"Terrible? Didn't you enjoy it at the beginning? You enjoyed the pleasure that power brought you, and you could arrange other people's life and death at will." Jiang said.
"Who?" The time-traveling girl saw Sheng Jiang and asked, "You've traveled through time too, right? We're from the same hometown. Please let me go and let me go back."
"What are you going back for? Don't you want to be your queen anymore?"
"No, it's not fun here at all. It's too cruel. Our world over there is better."
Xiao Tingye also understood, "Then can I go there too?"
"No! Over there, people like you are called scumbags! Because over there, a man can only have one wife."
Xiao Tingye:...? ?
"Stop arguing, both of you. No one can go back anyway. Why not just experience what it was like to have your daughter burned in your previous life?"
Then he placed the two souls on the Netherworld Fire and burned them to ashes.
As for Du Wanjun's daughter, Sheng Jiang gave her memories of her past life right after she was born. After questioning her, she sent her to see her mother.
