Time Travel: Pampered by the Aloof Prince-Chapter 19 - Just Wait and See the Show in a Moment

Qi Yu clicked her tongue softly, truly lacking in tenderness and pity.

But she liked this sort of character!

The palace maid shivered all over from Shen Nanxing’s action, as if she were the one thrown to the ground.

The sound seemed very painful.

Seeing her attitude was somewhat acceptable, Qi Yu caressed the silver needle in her hand and gently smiled, “Then start by telling me your name.

Who is your master?”

The palace maid swallowed hard and said haltingly, “My name is Zizhu, I am…

I am from Noble Consort An’s palace.”

Qi Yu was not surprised and nodded, continuing to ask, “Now, tell me, how did Noble Consort An plan to deal with this princess tonight?”

Zizhu hesitated, glancing at her but decided to spill everything to save her own life.

“The Noble Consort…

she and Miss Qi planned to drug you and then bring a man over…”

Unable to bring herself to complete her sentence, she was terrified that the merciless princess would silence her in the next moment.

Just now, she only wanted to check if Qi Yu was really unconscious and did not expect the person on the bed to suddenly open her eyes and immobilize her with several silver needles.

And if she dared to struggle, the needles would pierce her, causing excruciating pain.

At that moment, Qi Yu looked like the king of hell coming to take her life.

Wasn’t the Princess of Prince Qiu said to be a fool?

The palace maid sneaked a glance at her, feeling as if she had discovered a secret.

Qi Yu wasn’t worried about being found out and deliberately waved the silver needle in front of the maid’s eyes before asking leisurely, “Do you want to live?”

The palace maid eagerly nodded, “Yes!”

“Then tell this princess clearly what their plot is without omitting a single detail.

If you dare hide even half a word, my silver needle is not merciful.”

Qi Yu looked at her with a smile that was not quite a smile.

Zizhu looked at the sharp silver needle, recalled the pain of wanting to live but unable to die, and her teeth began to quake.

Lowering her head, she spilled all of Noble Consort An’s schemes like pouring beans from a bamboo tube.

“Noble Consort An planned to drug you and bring a man over, and with the aphrodisiac in the wine, she intended to ruin your reputation, allowing the prince to divorce you smoothly and elevate Miss Qi to become the rightful Princess of Prince Qiu.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she was kicked by Shen Nanxing.

Her eyes blazed with fury as she glared at the kneeling figure, barely containing the murderous intent in her gaze.

How could these people be so malicious!

A woman’s reputation is extremely important, let alone Qi Yu being a princess.

If such an incident were to happen, she would fear she might not even survive.

However, Qi Yu calmly stopped her, “She is just a palace maid after all.

Why harbor anger towards her?”

Zizhu kept kowtowing, begging for mercy, “The princess is right, this has nothing to do with your servant.

Your servant was only following the orders of Noble Consort An!”

Qi Yu figured the person she scared was almost shocked out of her wits, and doing it a few more times might indeed scare her silly, so she put away the silver needles.

She suddenly remembered something and asked, “I heard that Noble Consort An has an adopted son?”

Zizhu’s mouth twitched, but she still followed Qi Yu’s question and answered, “Yes, the third prince’s birth mother was originally Consort Li, but she died a few days after giving birth to the prince, and the emperor then decided to send the third prince to Noble Consort An’s care.”

Qi Yu nodded thoughtfully.

She was somewhat shocked when she initially found out that Noble Consort An had a son.

After all, Noble Consort An looked very young and not at all like she had given birth.

She hadn’t realized there was such a relationship involved.

She glanced at Qi Anran who had fainted and a chilling smile appeared in her eyes.

Did Qi Anran not wish to be a princess?

As her younger sister, she would surely have to help her achieve that.

And as for Noble Consort An, since she wanted to send someone to Prince Qiu Residence, she would have to send a generous gift in return.

Qi Yu’s eyes twinkled, and she immediately thought of a plan that would kill two birds with one stone.

She instructed Zizhu to take Qi Anran to the room next door, then said to Shen Nanxing, “Go find the prince, make sure he brings the third prince here.”

“Yes,” Shen Nanxing sighed in relief upon hearing her order.

Thank goodness their princess was not the type to suffer in silence; now it was finally their turn to strike back.

She avoided the heavily guarded guards in the palace and imitated a few bird calls outside the Imperial Study Room.

This was the method the hidden guards in the Prince Residence used to pass messages; Li Mingjue would understand upon hearing it.

His expression became solemn, and he found an excuse to leave the Imperial Study Room.

Once at a secluded spot, he asked urgently, “Has something happened to the princess?”

Shen Nanxing shook her head and briefly summarized the situation.

Li Mingjue’s eyes instantly turned cold after hearing it, “To dare harbor such intentions against my princess, An Ruoya really has some nerve!”

Shen Nanxing rarely saw Li Mingjue show such emotion; previously, even when poisoned, he had only silently endured.

Now, his eyes and brows were full of coldness, which made him look more intimidating than Qi Yu, who even when exacting revenge, did it with a smile on her face.

Li Mingjue’s dark pupils were brooding like a storm, he instructed Shen Nanxing, “You go back and protect the princess, I will follow shortly.”

“Yes,” Shen Nanxing bowed and quickly left, relying on qinggong to quickly return to Qi Yu’s side.

Qi Yu, seeing her swift movements, raised her eyebrows in surprise.

Was this the strength of a hidden guard?

Shen Nanxing didn’t know what she was thinking and simply reported, “The prince said he will come soon.”

At that, Qi Yu asked slowly, “Didn’t the prince ask you why I wanted him to come in person?”

Shen Nanxing paused, revisited the prince’s words, and indeed he seemed not to have asked.

She shook her head, then quickly asked, “Is there something I have missed?”

Qi Yu, however, gave a light laugh and left her in suspense, “Nothing at all, just wait and enjoy the show.”
