After rebirth, I cried and criticized the prince

Chapter 165 Revenge

When Qi Didi pushed the door open and came out, Cui'er was staring at the ground with her eyes downcast, her legs shaking constantly. The weather was cold, and the cool breeze blew in through her trouser legs, making her shiver even more violently.

"Do something for me." Qi Didi leaned towards her and whispered in her ear.

Tsui'er's face gradually became terrified. She shook her head and said, "Princess, I...I dare not!"

"Since you don't want to do it? Then you take the blame for her!" Qi Didi grabbed Cui'er's neck and threw her against the pillar on the porch. "I remember you have a younger brother at home? He's fostered with your aunt, right? Every month when you get paid, the first thing you do is send money to your aunt. Am I right?"

Cui'er's eyes were filled with fear, and she froze, tears streaming down her face. Qi Didi no longer looked completely hopeless, as if she hadn't learned she couldn't get pregnant again. Her face grew increasingly ruthless, yet she still wore a smile. That smile alone frightened Cui'er. She nodded reluctantly, "Princess, it's Cui'er's fault. I'm willing to do this for you."

Her tears fell on Qi Didi's hand. Qi Didi shook her hand away in disgust and wiped it with a handkerchief.

"Get things done properly, you will definitely benefit from it in the future!"

Cui Er suddenly felt bolder and asked, "Why don't you let the prince make the decision for you?"

Qi Didi glared at her fiercely, "I don't need you to teach me how to do things! They are mother and son, and I am just an unfavored concubine. Instead of expecting others to uphold justice for me, I might as well take action myself and avenge this unbearable vengeance!"

---------

At three quarters past three in the morning, a shrill cry came from the servants' room in the east.

In the dark room, a candlestick was lit, and Cui'er held the candlestick to illuminate the two people on the bed.

Lin'er rolled off the bed, grabbed her clothes and covered herself with them. She looked at the person on the bed and kept crying, asking, "Who are you?"

The man stood up, smiled lewdly, and put on his clothes.

There was another person sitting in the room. Qi Didi was leaning against a small pear wood table, smiling and enjoying the scene in front of her.

The man knelt in front of Qi Didi and pointed his finger at Lin'er, "Princess, it's all her fault, this bitch seduced me!"

Lin'er crawled over on his knees, grabbed the hem of Qi Didi's skirt and begged for mercy, "Princess, I didn't... Please help Lin'er."

She couldn't remember how she ended up lying in bed with this strange man. She only remembered that when she returned to the room at midnight... someone covered her mouth and nose, and she lost consciousness...

She looked at the man kneeling on the side. That was... that was the servant in the mansion, who was responsible for pouring night-time incense.

Lin'er felt sour in his stomach and started to retch.

The man said, "Princess, why don't you give Lin'er to me as a reward?"

"I don't want it!" Lin'er screamed in despair and fled to the other side. After all the chaos, she finally realized that she had been plotted against, probably by the princess on this side!

The only thing she could think of that was related to the Consort was the matter that the old Consort had instructed her to do...

She looked at Qi Didi in horror. Qi Didi smiled and threw out a packet of medicine powder and asked her, "Is it familiar?"

Lin Er cried until he was out of breath. He stood up and questioned Qi Didi, "How dare you do such a dirty thing! I'm going to tell the old princess and let her punish you!"

"Deal with me?" Qi Didi's eyes darkened, and she laughed. "If I'm not mistaken, the old princess allowed you to be the prince's concubine in the future, right? But... now that you've lost your virginity, I'm afraid you can't even be his concubine! I remember when Aunt Cui died, the old princess didn't try very hard to protect her! So... do you think the old princess would protect a slut like you? You drugged her and made it so that I can no longer get pregnant. Should this be blamed on you? Since you're a slut and so vicious, will the prince spare your life? I'm afraid that all the favors your family has received from the old princess will be ruined in your hands!"

Lin'er was exhausted and frightened. She knew Qi Didi had a weak spot in her throat. She slid down to her knees and said, "Please, Princess, please spare Lin'er. I'm willing to do anything for you! As long as you don't let me marry him!"

Thinking of the man who poured out Yexiang, Lin'er dared not look at him again. As soon as she looked at him, she remembered that her body was defiled by this disgusting man, and she hated him so much!

Qi Didi signaled to Cui'er, Cui'er opened the door, and two people came and took the man away.

The door closed. Qi Didi smiled and leaned over to stare at Lin'er, the smile on her face gradually becoming ferocious. "Whatever you did for the old princess, just do the same for me! Once it's done, I'll let you out of the house. As for that man, I have someone locked him up. If you're obedient, I'll help you deal with him. If... you're not obedient, don't blame me. I can let him come back anytime and spend the rest of his life with you."

Qi Didi dropped a porcelain bottle, which rolled to Lin'er's side. Lin'er picked it up, pulled out the stopper, and found powder inside...

Lin'er's face was horrified, and he knelt down and kowtowed, saying, "This is... a capital crime!"

"You can also choose not to do it, then...you might not be the only one to die!"

"Princess, please spare Lin'er. If he is discovered, he will die!"

"This is a chronic poison. Donglai doesn't have this stuff. When you first start taking it, you won't see any difference for a day or two, but after a few days, you'll suddenly get a cough. Taking it again seems to help with the cough, but over time, the poison will enter your internal organs and no medicine can cure it! Even if Hua Tuo were alive, he wouldn't be able to find the cause of death and would simply assume she died of a serious illness. The old woman will be back in a few days, so we need to do this quickly! Increase the dosage for me and have her take it with every meal!"

"Ming... understand..."

Qi Didi lifted up Lin'er's face, looked him up and down, shook her head and smiled, "What a pity for this face!" She pinched him even tighter and threw Lin'er to the ground.

Qi Didi smiled and stood up and went out. Cui'er blew out the candle and the room was dark again.

In the darkness, Lin'er held the medicine bottle and cried loudly.

------

The old princess was sent to the temple. When the two-month period was up, the palace sent someone to bring her back to the palace.

After two months in the temple, she heard that Princess Mengnan had a miscarriage and then died. She immediately guessed that it was Qi Didi's doing and wanted to go back home immediately to deal with her.

The old Taoist priest once said that Princess Mengnan is a true phoenix, and if the true phoenix falls, Gu Shicheng can only be a local tyrant forever!

The current situation is uncertain, and she is eager to chant sutras and praise Gu Shicheng every day so that he can ascend to the highest position.

Who would have thought... Gu Xingzhi would finally sit firmly on the throne!

She secretly felt that the old Taoist priest was truly a god!

Unexpectedly, good news came that relieved her distress. Princess Mengnan was not dead and the fetus was still there.

That means... there will be opportunities in the future!

Now, Gu Shicheng has become a meritorious official, helping Gu Xingzhi to secure the throne. He has been rewarded and the palace has become more prosperous.

As soon as the old princess returned to the mansion, she met Lin'er, but Lin'er looked evasive when he saw her. She asked if the matter had been done. Only after Lin'er confirmed that it had been done without any problems did the old princess feel relieved.

She immediately summoned Princess Mengnan. Princess Mengnan was different from before. There were several more secret guards around her, and they did not look like Donglai people.

These were the favors requested by Princess Mengnan and His Majesty. They begged to leave behind a few of their own people to protect them closely. The Emperor agreed because of her merits.

From then on, she dared to sleep peacefully, no longer afraid that Qi Didi would take her life at any time.

She had originally planned to tell Gu Shicheng about Qi Didi's collusion with the Second Prince, but she was too scared to ask. She was afraid of what she might find out... What if Gu Shicheng knew about it? So she decided to keep it a secret and continue to be a couple in name only.

The old princess kept touching his hand and comforting her, "You've suffered so much, Lan'er. You did a good job by leaving some people to protect you closely! Cheng'er was bewitched by that monster and lost his composure. You have to be considerate of him. When the child is born, he will understand."

What did she understand? Princess Mengnan had already known for a long time that the old princess was not a pushover, but she still needed the help of the old princess to protect her and give birth to the baby safely. For the time being, the old princess and Qi Didi would have to fight each other.

Watching tigers fight from across the mountain.
