Having transmigrated into a book, who would still want to be a secondary wife?

Chapter 933 I'll make her suffer eternal damnation!

The Empress sighed helplessly; she didn't know why things had taken such a complicated turn.

If she could have gotten married sooner, she wouldn't be in such a predicament now. But it just so happens to be at this critical juncture. It's not that she doesn't want to ask the Emperor for help, but she knows very well that even the Emperor can't do anything about it right now.

"Ruozhen is always good at predicting things. I wonder if she can predict this matter and see if there is any other way out."

The Empress was at her wit's end. After thinking it over, she decided to ask Ruozhen for advice, since Ruozhen was capable.

They would try their best to come up with a solution whenever there was even the slightest chance of a turnaround.

"Sister, why don't we try to find another princess? Although Mu Yao is the most suitable in terms of age, there are still some who are a few years younger, aren't there?"

Princess Anlan frowned. She had only recently finished her postpartum confinement and had planned to bring her child to have her sister take a look, but she never expected to hear such terrible news upon arrival.

"The difference is too great. The Qi Yue Dynasty is well aware of our situation. The fact that they said this is simply because they have their eyes on Mu Yao."

If we marry a princess who is too young, they will definitely think we are not sincere, and that will inevitably cause trouble. Not to mention, the princess herself will probably have an even harder time after marriage.”

The empress's eyes were filled with deep helplessness. In truth, for a princess sent to a political marriage, it was a pitiful situation no matter who was being married off.

"We can't just stand by and watch Mu Yao marry him!"

This girl has always been pampered; we know that all too well. How could she possibly endure such hardship?

Princess Anlan couldn't help but feel anxious. She had originally heard about Mu Yao and Song Jingshen's relationship and happily went to the palace to ask when the two would get married.

Before, when she was further along in her pregnancy, she stayed in the mansion and rarely went out. Later, after giving birth and during her postpartum confinement, she also didn't have the opportunity to go out. So when she heard the news, she didn't even have a chance to ask a few more questions.

I thought they were a perfect couple, but now, it's like a bolt from the blue.

When Song Ruozhen arrived, she found that the Empress herself was standing outside, with Princess Anlan beside her.

As soon as Lu Minhui saw her, she immediately spoke:

"Ruozhen, you've heard about Mu Yao's situation, haven't you?"

Song Ruozhen nodded, "Is Aunt here to help come up with a solution too?"

"Look at how anxious and upset Her Majesty the Empress is. The dark circles under her eyes are so severe. She must not have rested well these past two days."

If I can't come up with a solution, that's really a headache.

Lu Minhui has always been outspoken and never hides anything, and this time she spoke her mind directly as well.

"Ruozhen, talk to your mother and see if there's any way to resolve this matter?"

The Empress also looked at Song Ruozhen, her eyes filled with urgency. "This matter also concerns your fourth brother. I think it would be best if they could get married."

"Mother, you don't need to worry. I've already calculated this matter. Mu Yao and my fourth brother are a match made in heaven, and they will be able to be together in the end."

Upon hearing this, the Empress and Lu Minhui exchanged a glance, both of their eyes filled with anticipation.

"really?"

Song Ruozhen nodded, "I wouldn't dare to act recklessly about something this important."

Lu Minhui breathed a sigh of relief, then asked expectantly, "Ruozhen, please tell us in detail what exactly happened?"

The Empress's mood visibly improved, and she pulled Song Ruozhen into the house. She had been extremely anxious these past two days, fearing that Mu Yao might do something rash.

But after seeing how sensible Mu Yao was, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her; the more sensible someone was, the more heartbreaking it was for them.

Song Ruozhen smiled slightly before recounting the entire story...

Laughter and cheerful voices filled the room.

While Song Ruozhen was having a pleasant conversation in the Empress's palace, Qi Qingyi also entered the palace.

Although the Prince of Liang was still under house arrest, Qi Qingyi was not. She came here specifically after learning that Song Ruozhen had entered the palace.

Qi Junming has now been sentenced to beheading, and the news shocked many people when it came out.

They originally thought that although they were completely wrong, as long as the Qi family pulled some strings, the worst they could get was exile.

We'll figure out a better place to exile later, spend more money, and then we won't suffer too much.

Who would have thought that once the decision was made, it would be a beheading?

"Your Highness, the reason reported by the Dali Temple is that the Second Young Master poisoned the Eldest Young Master and cast a love spell on Princess Changping. The situation is particularly egregious, and he was sentenced to see through the illusion due to multiple crimes."

Seeing the princess's fierce demeanor, the maidservant was afraid she might act impulsively, so she quickly tried to comfort her.

Qi Qingyi sneered, "This is just a pretext put forward by the Dali Temple. You actually believe it?"

It's obvious that Song Ruozhen is deliberately targeting me and the entire Qi family!

Although she looked down on Qi Junming, thinking that the boy was not only incompetent but also always made mistakes and dragged down the family, she felt extremely ashamed after learning that he was to be beheaded!

The news had already spread throughout the entire capital, causing the Qi family to lose all face. But now that they had learned that they had tried everything but still couldn't prevent Qi Junming from being beheaded, wouldn't that further prove their incompetence?

Song Ruozhen is using this method to trample on her dignity, and he must be feeling incredibly smug right now!

"Song Ruozhen, I will never let you get away with this!"

Qi Qingyi went to see Consort Duan. Looking at Consort Duan lying on the bed, who was clearly nearing the end of her life, a look of disgust flashed in her eyes.

"Originally, he could have been of some help to the prince, but he made a stupid mistake and got disfigured."

"I'd rather die now; if I really die, maybe the prince's confinement can be lifted."

Qi Qingyi sat down to the side and tasted the fruit brought by the servants. The pastries in the palace were really delicious.

She has been staying at the Prince's residence for the past few days. Since the Prince is under house arrest, she is not allowed to go out. Now, even going to the palace feels like a chance to relax.

She touched her belly, a hint of anticipation flashing in her eyes.

Once these two children are safely born, she will be able to live the life she desires, thanks to her children!

"Mother, I am pregnant with twins! This is the greatest blessing ever!"

It's a pity that you're in such poor health; I don't know if you'll have the chance to see your two children born.

Qi Qingyi's eyes revealed contempt. Back then, Consort Duan blamed her for causing the prince to fall into the water and suffer from a hidden illness. Therefore, since their marriage, she had always been somewhat disgusted with her.

Because of this, she has always been unhappy.

Now that Consort Duan has finally become like this, I feel indescribably relieved. So what if I look down on her? In the end, she will still outlive me to death.

"By the way, I asked you to inquire about Song Ruozhen's situation, is there still no news?"

Qi Qingyi frowned. She had no other chance to see Song Ruozhen except in the palace.

Now that she's pregnant, it's the perfect time!

This time, she will make Song Ruozhen suffer eternal damnation!
