She Holds the World After Being Reborn-Chapter 500 - 499: Hurry and Call People, Big Sister Has Given Birth Prematurely
Chapter 500: Chapter 499: Hurry and Call People, Big Sister Has Given Birth Prematurely
"Let him in," Xiao Pingfeng spoke.
The guards drew back their crossed spears.
Without any politeness, Qin Huai lifted the curtain and walked inside.
"Paying respects to the Crown Prince," he said, his expression slightly cold, "I implore Your Highness to retract the order and spare my poor little niece’s life."
She was covered in blood, still wearing a man’s robe that did not belong to her, and now kneeling outside the Crown Princess Consort’s tent, probably nearing her end.
"Why don’t you ask her what she has done?" came the Crown Prince’s voice, as cold as ice.
Qin Huai grew even more anxious, "Whatever she has done, does it warrant taking her life?"
"Qin Huai, I have always valued your status as a top scholar and your dedication. I have allowed you to bark orders here, but this does not mean I am a pushover," Xiao Pingfeng didn’t even glance at him, "Take him out."
Before Qin Huai could finish speaking, he was pushed out by the attendants.
By now, the area outside the Crown Princess Consort’s tent was surrounded by people, inside and out, all speculating what great offense the Miss of the Qin Family had committed to receive such punishment from the Crown Prince.
Inside the tent.
Yan Lingzhen glanced outside.
Didn’t they see the harmony and affection between her elder sister and the Crown Prince?
Qin Erya really was blind, wasting her beauty.
Yan Lingzhen couldn’t help spitting in contempt.
"Shameless!"
Yan Hongzhao, hearing her curse, also glanced outside and said, "The crowd is getting bigger, it’s not okay for her to keep kneeling like this."
"The Crown Prince said to let her kneel until my sister wakes up," Yan Lingzhen snorted coldly, "She makes a mistake and doesn’t come over herself, instead sending Qin Erya, typical of a man."
"Less talk from you," Yan Hongzhao shook her head helplessly.
She wrung out the water from a soaked towel and spread it out before handing it to Cong Ge.
Cong Ge used the towel to gently wipe Yan Wanqing’s cheeks.
Her curled eyelashes fluttered slightly, and Cong Ge exclaimed with joy, "Miss is awake!"
She helped Yan Wanqing to sit up slowly and lean against the cushion.
"Why is it so noisy outside?"
The incessant chatter was giving her a headache.
Yan Lingzhen quickly answered, "Qin Erya is now kneeling outside."
After hearing this, Yan Wanqing pursed her lips, and after a long pause, she said, "Help me up."
"Xiaoliu, let her in," she said.
"Elder sister..." Yan Lingzhen was somewhat reluctant, "Isn’t it good to let her kneel?"
This kind of woman, who loves to climb into men’s beds, should be utterly humiliated.
Yan Wanqing pinched the bridge of her nose, "Just do it."
She was full of questions now.
Yan Lingzhen lifted the tent flap and went out, looking at Qin Erya, "Go in, Miss Qin."
Qin Erya saw a pair of delicate shoes in front of her, and it took her a moment to come back to her senses, the world’s noise returning to her ears.
"Thank you, Crown Princess Consort," she couldn’t get up, her hands pressing hard against the ground, gritting her teeth to stand.
Yan Lingzhen saw this scene.
She narrowed her eyes.
Qin Erya was indeed formidable.
Truly ruthless to herself.
Her shoulder blades were shattered, and yet she had been kneeling outside for so long; any other woman would have long been wailing.
But she managed to get up on her own without anyone’s help.
Worthy of being someone who could endure enough to climb into Xiao Pingfeng’s bed.
If the Crown Princess Consort weren’t her own sister, Yan Lingzhen might even admire Qin Erya’s endurance and cunning a bit more.
But right now, she just wanted to poison her.
The tent curtain slowly fell, shutting out the onlookers outside.
Qin Huai, having emerged from the Crown Prince’s presence, finally squeezed through the crowd but did not see Qin Erya.
"Where’s the person?" he asked.
"She went in," someone replied.
Qin Huai felt a surge of relief, delighted that the Crown Princess Consort had awakened, that was excellent news.
Inside the tent.
Yan Wanqing sat on a chair, with Cong Ge, Yan Hongzhao, and Yan Lingzhen standing at her side.
Qin Erya stood at the center of the tent, nodding her head slightly with eyes downcast, a picture of peaceful times, if one could overlook the blood-stained outer robe she wore.
"I ask, you answer," Yan Wanqing said flatly.
Qin Erya nodded, "I will tell you everything I know."
"The aphrodisiac fragrance on the Deputy General at the drill ground that day, was it your doing?"
"Yes, to be more precise, it was a ’gu’." Qin Erya corrected.
Yan Wanqing sneered coldly, "You lured him to the Yan Family’s courtyard."
Qin Erya: "Princess Wuyang’s maidservant Yingtao tricked that palace maid out, then I made sure the Deputy General saw that palace maid."
Yan Wanqing: "Was the ’gu’ a spur-of-the-moment idea, or was it premeditated?"
Qin Erya lifted her eyes: "Does it matter now?"
"It matters."
"A spur-of-the-moment idea."
Yan Wanqing’s peach blossom eyes filled with chilliness: "Just like tonight?"
Qin Erya said this, the corners of her lips even curling into a shallow smile: "No, tonight was premeditated."
This bitch!
Yan Lingzhen clenched her fists and was about to step forward when Yan Hongzhao firmly held her back; the darkening of her eyes indicated she too was suppressing her urge to kill.
Yan Wanqing: "What medicine did Princess Wuyang hide in my room?"
Qin Erya: "A labor-inducing drug."
Yan Wanqing: "It was taken by your people."
Qin Erya: "Yes."
Yan Wanqing: "This is the real reason Princess Wuyang took all the blame for you." All the pieces of the puzzle connected.
Qin Erya nodded: "The Crown Princess Consort is insightful, hitting the nail on the head."
Qin Erya used the labor-inducing drug to threaten Wuyang into obeying her, then at the crucial moment pushed Wuyang out to take the fall.
In her judgement of importance between the Deputy General and herself, Princess Wuyang had a clear idea.
This was the true reason behind Princess Wuyang’s early exit from the stage.
"If this had succeeded tonight, the Yan Family would be disgraced, and if it didn’t, Princess Wuyang would be. From beginning to end, there was no connection to you, Qin Erya of the Qin Family, yet it could still stir up strife between Dawei and the Chu Kingdom, thereby forcing the Crown Prince to heavily rely on your Qin Family. After all, your grandfather, Qin Jun, is known as the Grand Tutor to three thousand students beyond our borders."
Yan Wanqing spoke, her clear voice resonating within the tent: "Qin Erya, you are very clever."
"The Crown Princess Consort overpraises me."
"But you made a wrong move tonight," Yan Wanqing lifted her gaze to her: "The Crown Prince, drunk as he was, couldn’t possibly have done anything to you. I am well aware that nothing happened between you two."
"So what?" Qin Erya chuckled lightly: "At least it’s made the Crown Princess Consort uncomfortable, hasn’t it?"
"You just wanted to anger me?"
"Yes, I simply wished to see what kind of reaction the ever-stoic Yan Wanqing would have under such circumstances," Qin Erya hooked her lips into a light smile, her pale face full of ambition: "Unfortunately, in this respect, you are no different from those other women."
"You’re disappointed then." Overcome with heartache, she fainted, surprising herself.
"It shows how great a place the Crown Prince holds in your heart, or else you wouldn’t have such a reaction," Qin Erya said slowly.
Yan Wanqing: "You’re not afraid of me punishing you for your crimes?"
Qin Erya’s gaze settled: "If punishment was forthcoming, the Crown Prince would have acted before you."
A malicious amusement suddenly sparkled in her eyes: "Why doesn’t the clever Crown Princess Consort guess why he has yet to punish me for my crimes?"
Yan Wanqing looked at her without speaking.
Beneath her sleeve, her hand couldn’t help but grip the armrest of her chair tightly.
Why?
Because of Grand Tutor Qin?
But he wasn’t the kind of man to be restrained.
What was it then?
Yan Wanqing felt a twinge of worry.
"The Crown Prince is just like the Crown Princess Consort, deeply and passionately concerned about each other, each willing to bear all hardships and disasters for the other," Qin Erya continued to speak.
Yan Wanqing stood up, her expression growing cold: "You’ve colluded with Huai Xinmei!"
"Hahaha! Yan Wanqing, you truly deserve your reputation as the smartest in Dawei!" Qin Erya laughed hysterically, not stopping even as she aggravated her wounds.
No wonder she had the aphrodisiac poisonous insect.
Yan Wanqing’s face changed and changed again.
The scene flickered: from the Deputy General’s death to her releasing Huai Xinmei from the dungeon; with each step, she had been dancing on the strings of their schemes.
"The Mother Poisonous Insect is on you..."
Qin Erya’s blood-streaked face now had eyes that shone unusually bright.
"Now, my fate is tied to that of the Crown Prince."
"Pfft—" A mist of blood sprayed from Yan Wanqing’s mouth, and amid everyone’s shocked cries, Yan Wanqing saw the crimson in her palm and felt something flowing between her legs.
How could this be?
Confusion filled her eyes as she looked towards Qin Erya.
Frail as if she might topple in the breeze, yet resilient as a willow branch, impossible to break.
"Sister—!" Yan Lingzhen cried out: "Hurry, call for help, sister is going into premature labor!"
