Two days later, at noon, the side concubine, Wen Ruyan, arrived at Shu Jingong's courtyard accompanied by her personal maidservant.

Perhaps because she was pregnant, Wen Ruyan's figure appeared a bit bloated. After she entered Shu JingRong's room, she spoke in a weird tone: "Princess is really lucky, she didn't die even after being tossed around like this, she even got pregnant with the prince's blood and bones."

Shu JingRong looked at Wen Ruyan and smiled faintly, "Wen Changfei, are you here today to say something to me privately?"

"Yes, I do have something to say to you." Wen Ruyan gestured for the maidservant to retreat outside the door, then sat down on the chair opposite of Shu Jingong, "It's truly pitiful for a dignified prime minister to be in this state!"

The smile on Shu JingRong's face faded, "Why do you want to harm me?"

Wen Ruyan smiled, looking extremely charming and charming, "Who else can you do this for? Of course it's for the prince! "

She lowered her voice, "Shu Jing Rong, do you know, actually, I wasn't the one who schemed against you in the beginning, but your unassuming cousin Xin Rong. She stole your jade pendant, and made you think that she was the one who saved the prince, while I just coincidentally found out about her plan!"

"So that's how it is!" Surprisingly, Shu JingRong wasn't angry at all, she finally understood the reason why she couldn't figure it out.

Why did the jade pendant that young master Jin Yi had given her disappear? Why was King Jing deeply rooted in his affection for Xin Lian?

So it was because of that rescue many years ago. The young master in embroidered clothes that she had saved was the later Prince Jing, Situ Bai.

"So you're saying that you killed Xingrong to bribe Little Lotus to blame me?"

"Wrong, I didn't bribe Xiao Lian. It was your little sister who bribed her. And I only pinched the weakness behind her infidelity to threaten her."

"So after using Xiao Lian, you killed her?"

"That's right, why would we keep something like that?" Didn't I kill Xiao Lian to avenge you? " Wen Ruyan smiled, "Your life was really big. Three years ago, you should have died in the mouth of a fierce beast during the fencing hunt, but who would have thought that you would actually come back to life."

"What do you mean?"

"Your horse fright was caused by your little sister Shu. However, in order to turn you into a corpse so you can never speak up, she has always pretended to be you and the Prince, waiting to fly together. Unfortunately, on that day you wore the same cloak as her, making the Prince think that you were her that you escaped this calamity ?"

"So that's how it is?" Are you not afraid that I will tell the truth to the prince when you tell me all of this? "

"No, because you're going to be a dead man soon!"

After saying that, Wen Ruyan suddenly stood up and rushed towards Ye Zichen. Seeing that she was coming at him menacingly, Ye Zichen subconsciously took a step back.

With a "peng" sound, Wen Ruyan did not touch her, but instead heavily fell to the ground.

She let out a loud scream, while Shu JingRong stood on the spot and saw that her white dress was slowly being dyed red with blood.

As Wen Ruyan screamed her lungs out, the maid guarding the door immediately opened it and barged in.

When Wen Ruyan's personal maidservant pushed open the door, she screamed hoarsely, "Someone come quickly! The side concubine's giving birth!"

The maidservants hurried over to help Wen Ruyan, who was lying on the ground. The expression on her face was painful to the extreme as she looked at Shu Jinglian with hatred and her lips moving.

Although she didn't say a single word, Shu JingRong understood what she meant: "Shu Jing Rong, no one can save you this time! "You're dead for sure!"

When Wen Ruyan was carried away for treatment, Shu JingRong calmly sat down at the table and waited silently.

Before two hours had passed, the sound of hurried footsteps came from outside the door. Very soon, the silhouette of King Jing, Situ Bai, appeared inside the room.

He was shocked when he saw Ye Zichen's calm expression, then rushed over like a gust of wind, raised his hand and slapped her face.

"Pa!" A crisp sound was heard. Shu Jing Rong's face was slapped to the side. She kept tilting her head for a long time before she raised her hand to wipe away the blood from the corner of her lips, then turned to look at Situ Bai with a smile.

"Your Highness, just treat this slap as returning the favor of saving me in the enclosure." "From today onwards, you and Shu Jing Rong will not owe each other anything."

Her tone was extremely light, as if she was speaking in a romantic manner. However, the decisiveness and coldness in her eyes caused one's heart to tremble.

He thought that she would defend herself and cry out injustice, but she didn't. She just smiled at him with blood flowing from the corner of her mouth.

His heart shuddered inexplicably as he turned around and strode outwards. When he reached the entrance, his cold voice rang out. "Drag this wicked woman into the service room and reward her with a bowl of poison wine. From today onwards, there will no longer be an imperial concubine in the Residence of Crown Prince!"

A few bodyguards that were like wolves and tigers entered the room and dragged Shu JingRong out. They turned to look at the corridor and saw the calm voice of Shu JingRong behind Situ Bai, "Thank you for your help, Prince Jing!"

The death of Shu JingRong did not cause much of a commotion. Even the normally powerful Prime Minister did not have the face to ask King Jing for an explanation when he found out that she had murdered his son.

Shu JingRong's body laid alone in the woodshed. No one paid any attention to it. A few hours later, a simple carriage came from the Prime Minister's Estate and picked up her corpse.

Situ Bai thought that he had finally avenged Xingrong, but he started to dream. He kept repeating that day when blood flowed from the corner of Ye Zichen's mouth and Situ Bai looked at his resolute look with a smile.

After waking up from his dream, he could no longer fall asleep.

It was as if Shu JingRong had given him some kind of voodoo Gu to control his life, causing him to feel uneasy.

It was the night of the full moon again, which was the third month since Shu JingRong died.

Situ Bai was so drunk that he staggered and pushed away the courtyard that was already closed for a long time.

The air was thick with the pungent smell of dust.

Standing in the empty room, Situ Bai didn't know why, but he suddenly remembered the bleeding look on Shu JingRong's face that day.

He lost control of himself and yelled at the place where Jing Rong sat that day, "Shu Rong, I didn't do anything wrong, it's all your fault. I wanted to let you go, why aren't you repenting? You asked for it! "

No one answered him, only the silence.

The furious Situ Bai punched the table in front of him with his fist. The table shattered into pieces, and a clear "clang" sound followed.

The moonlight shone through the window and Situ Bai saw a golden hairpin quietly lying on the ground.

He reached out to pick up the golden hairpin, but was instantly petrified when he saw what it looked like.
