Transmigrated as the Villainess, Troubled by the Cuteness!-Chapter 195 - 159: Dark Skies! Rain Is Coming!

It’s getting dark, about to rain!

In the first half of the night, the moon and stars were sparse, in the second half, dark clouds filled the sky.

Shen Jingxian was still sound asleep at this time.

But the lights in the Imperial Study Room were still on.

Prince Jing, who should have been angered by the Emperor and locked up in prison, was sitting solemnly, reporting the situation to the Empress and Emperor.

"To the Emperor and Empress, it is my negligence in discipline that allowed that wretch to have such thoughts. I have already sent the message out, and shortly those unruly ones will reveal their flaws."

The Emperor nodded slightly, although his expression was neutral, his words were still rather gentle, "You’ve worked hard, my dear minister. However, during this period, I’m afraid the child Jiaojiao will have to endure some grievances." 𝚏𝐫𝚎𝗲𝕨𝐞𝐛𝕟𝚘𝐯𝚎𝗹.𝕔𝐨𝗺

Prince Jing immediately knelt, "It’s my honor to share the worries of my ruler! If my daughter knew the truth, she would think the same! Besides... she should grow up now."

The Emperor couldn’t help but think of his own daughter. Yi Fen seemed to be about the same age as Pan Jiaojiao, and Pan Jiaojiao should indeed be growing up, but his daughter...

No! His Yi Fen has only been by his side for a few years, it’s entirely different in nature.

Let Pan Jiaojiao grow up on her own, don’t involve our Yi Fen.

The Emperor thought while nodding, determined to protect Yi Fen even better.

The Empress and Emperor no longer expected Yi Fen to take the throne by her own efforts; after all, the study of the Emperor’s Skill was too hard, Yi Fen had slept for so many years, they indeed couldn’t bear to see Yi Fen do things she didn’t like.

As a couple, they now just wished Yi Fen to be happy every day, that would be enough.

Thus, they pondered how to let Yi Fen ascend to be the Empress while ensuring she’s both happy and joyful.

The couple concluded that if Yi Fen couldn’t become the Empress, it must be the country’s fault, not Yi Fen’s.

If Yi Fen wanted to be the Empress, they just needed to turn Yunyi Country into a place suitable for Yi Fen to be Empress.

Hmm... a very good idea, they truly were remarkable!

The couple agreed swiftly, and just as they were roughly drafting Yi Fen’s ascension plan, someone collided into them.

It was Prince Jing’s nephew.

Prince Jing was a very loyal prince with a different surname, holding no power over the armies; all rights and honors were granted by the Emperor. Under normal circumstances, the Emperor wouldn’t suspect him, but Prince Jing’s nephew had hurt the Princess, and the Emperor was furious, demanding to chop off his hand on the spot.

Unexpectedly, Prince Jing’s nephew was a coward; upon hearing the decision to chop his hand, he immediately confessed everything.

He said the medicine spilled on Fu Xuan was given by someone else; he was instigated and did not know Fu Xuan’s true identity, assuming Fu Xuan was merely a common consort of the Princess.

To be honest, hearing this might make Fu Xuan faint from delight.

But the Emperor and Empress realized immediately that the matter was not simple. If the initial target was Fu Xuan, how could it be the Princess who ended up injured? There must be a conspiracy.

Further investigation led to surprises indeed; the one who instigated Prince Jing’s nephew was a subordinate of Prince Bai Luo.

Prince Bai Luo had always been restless.

The Empress and Emperor were aware, but were lazy about it, thinking Prince Bai Luo hadn’t stirred any major trouble, hence ignored it, not expecting him to dare touch their Yi Fen now!

The Empress and Emperor were furious, deciding to act seriously, wanting to show little Prince Bai Luo the true Emperor’s Skill!

Poor Prince Bai Luo never expected, purely annoyed by Fu Xuan, seeking revenge for Fu Xuan flirting away one of his concubines, trying to ruin Fu Xuan’s face through poison, which led to a great calamity.

While the Empress, Emperor and Prince Jing communicated loudly about the Emperor’s Skill in the Imperial Study Room, Shen Jingxian slept sweetly, even dreaming.

In her dream, she dreamed of herself.

She heard herself say to herself that she had broken free from the plot, the power of the original Heavenly Dao order being replaced by a new order, no longer interfering with her life.

"From now on, you can do whatever you wish to do."

Meanwhile, after the maid fruitlessly advised Wen Ranchen, she stopped trying, returning to the door of the Princess’s room, starting her night watch for the Princess.

The young maid didn’t know why she always cared about this matter; in the second half of the night, she couldn’t resist checking on Yi Fen’s door again, only to find General Wen was still there.

Young maid’s first reaction: The General wasn’t chased away by the patrolling Forbidden Army? Isn’t lingering at Yi Fen Palace’s door forbidden?

Forbidden Army: Do you think we dare?

The young maid didn’t dare either.

Although Wen Ranchen looked good, he seemed difficult to deal with, so she decided not to say more.

The next day, after the maid changed shifts, she found the shadow outside the door disappeared, and let out a sigh of relief.

For some reason, whenever General Wen stood there, she felt tremendous pressure.

Shen Jingxian also woke up, feeling as if she’d slept for a long, long time, but her body was still tired. When she opened her eyes, she felt somewhat unbelievable.

The words in the dream were vividly remembered, and she instinctively felt they were true, after all, it was her own words, how could she deceive herself?

Recite with me, Shen Jingxian does not deceive Shen Jingxian!

Great, Shen Jingxian believed her dream was certainly true.

But was it really so easy to break free from the plot?

As soon as this thought emerged, Shen Jingxian immediately snapped herself. What was she thinking, how could it be easy, this was obviously the result of her super, multiplied effort!

Hmm.

Shen Jingxian leisurely got up, washed, dressed, preparing to stroll around, but was stopped by the maid at Yi Fen Palace’s entrance, "Your Highness, it’s dangerous outside, please stay within Yi Fen Palace these days."

This maid spoke with a strange accent, unlike the dialect of the Capital City; unknown from where, seemed to mix up l and n sounds.

Shen Jingxian blinked, stared at the maid in front of her, her not yet fully awake mind struggling to discern the maid’s appearance; those eyes, that nose, that mouth, what was the name again?

The maid gradually blushed under the Princess’s gaze; she’d never seen someone as beautiful as the Princess since childhood. According to the head, this was a noble of golden lineage, someone she must protect with her life.

Since being adopted, trained for so many years, all for the day to die for the person in front of her.

Previously, she didn’t quite understand, but just now, she seemed to grasp a bit; the Princess’s eyes appeared to hold stars, her skin delicate as though it could yield water, her face emitting a slight rosy glow, such a person was indeed born different from her.

"What’s your name, I seem to have indeed not met you?"

The maid looked up at Shen Jingxian, with a small voice awkwardly laden with accent, "Replying to the Princess, this servant is called Xiao Qi."

"Xiao Qi, are you a newly arrived maid?"

Xiao Qi nodded, seemingly finally remembering her mission, repeated aloud to Shen Jingxian once more, "Princess, it’s dangerous outside, please do not leave."
