Chapter 937 Beauty's Face?
Princess Zhaoyang has been quite busy these past few years.
The land on her private properties is not occupied by idle people.
What she didn't expect was that just as she was about to take action, her children were brought into the palace.
Originally, he planned to take action against the Mu family first, so that they would be hesitant to act, but unexpectedly, he ended up getting himself involved.
Inside the princess's residence, Princess Zhaoyang felt as if she were sitting on pins and needles.
If possible, she really wanted to live a peaceful life as a princess from then on.
But now, I'm afraid it's no longer possible.
Whenever Princess Zhaoyang thought of A Yuan, who had always lived on her estate, and Zheng Gongzi, with whom she had once shared a deep and loving relationship, she could no longer find peace of mind.
She knew that once she placed A-Yuan on the estate, trouble was bound to happen sooner or later. She just hadn't expected it to come so quickly.
Now that the Emperor knows that she was the one who poisoned him, he will inevitably become suspicious of everything she does.
Zhao Yang gave a bitter smile. If only she had known this would happen, she wouldn't have done it in the first place.
Who is the current emperor? How could he possibly be defeated by Prince Zheng?
No matter how skilled Young Master Zheng is, can he be more skilled than the Emperor?
Before the emperor ascended the throne, he had already made immortal achievements. Now he is good at recognizing and using people, and everything is peaceful on the border and in the court. If they want to start a rebellion, wouldn't they be courting death?
Princess Zhaoyang closed her eyes wearily, took a few deep breaths, and slowly walked to the dressing table. She sat down on the embroidered stool and looked at herself in the mirror.
Princess Zhaoyang reached out and touched her face, and a strange smile flashed across her face.
"This face is truly beautiful, but it's a pity. Once the Emperor is truly enraged, even a princess will not have a chance to survive. Even if she does survive, her life will likely be worse than death."
Princess Zhaoyang lowered her head, looking utterly helpless.
How wonderful it would be if my husband could be by my side at this time?
The Emperor detained Shuang'er and the others in the palace, but she didn't care. In fact, even if they were really dead, she wouldn't shed a single tear.
However, since the Emperor dared to do this, he must be certain that Princess Zhaoyang would do something else, so this was a warning to her.
When Princess Zhaoyang visited the palace last time, she clearly noticed that the number of palace guards had increased significantly. It seems that Emperor Duanmu Chuze is indeed very wary.
"Your Highness, isn't it a bit inappropriate for this young master and young lady to have been living in the palace all this time?"
Princess Zhaoyang glanced at the old woman and said, "Isn't the Prince Consort also in the palace? Don't worry, I know the gravity of the situation. With the Empress Dowager here, they won't make things difficult for Shuang'er and her brother."
“Princess, that may be true, but things are not doing you any good in the first place.”
"Benefits? What benefits do I need? Are you saying that people outside are laughing at me, saying that I have angered the Emperor?" Princess Zhaoyang's face turned somewhat ferocious.
"Your Highness, I dare not. But Your Highness has always been kind, and your reputation in the capital was once excellent. Now, I'm afraid this will not be good for the young master and young lady in the future."
"Alright, I have my own plans. No matter how capable Mu Xin Nuan is, she is too soft-hearted. As long as she knows that Shuang'er is my child, she will naturally not harm them. I was careless before, which is why I fell for her trick."
What Zhao Yang was referring to was the poisoning incident involving Shuang'er and her brother last time.
Now that I've calmed down, I realize that my siblings and I were definitely not poisoned by the same poison as the Crown Prince. If the poison is with me, how could an outsider have it?
Furthermore, even if the food that poisoned the Crown Prince wasn't destroyed, it would have been stale after a few days. How could Shuang'er and her brother have mistakenly eaten it thinking it was delicious?
After going around in circles, it turned out that Mu Xin Nuan had set a trap for her!
But what's the use of figuring it out now?
Princess Zhaoyang snorted coldly, "Alright, you can leave now. I'm a little tired and want to rest first."
"Yes, princess."
Princess Zhaoyang's facial injuries have mostly healed.
These days, she hasn't made any moves, and neither has the one in the palace.
Zhao Yang knew that Duanmu Chuze was waiting for her to make the first move.
Thus, he had an excuse to execute her directly.
However, she wasn't entirely confident, so how could she easily fall into the trap?
That very evening, a tall, slender figure appeared in Princess Zhaoyang's bedroom.
The person who arrived was none other than Young Master Zheng, who had disappeared for several days.
"You're back?"
"Has the princess been having a hard time lately?"
"What do you think? How did things go?"
"Princess, rest assured, everything is ready. In three days, the army will set off. At that time, the border will be in chaos, and the Emperor will surely issue an order to send a large army to reinforce it. Then, the defenses of the capital will be weak, which will be the best time for us to make our move."
"Very well. I have been waiting for this day for a long time."
Young Master Zheng raised an eyebrow slightly. "If Shuang'er and the others can't get out by then, will the princess be able to make up her mind?"
"Hmph! They're just a bunch of bastards, why would I be reluctant to part with them? Oh, by the way, I've kept that person in the secret room, I haven't dealt with him yet, what do you think?"
"Now is a critical moment, so we must be even more careful. You don't need to go to the palace now; that person probably can't be kept alive either."
"Let's go see her."
The two entered the secret room together, and soon, in a dark and dirty little house, they saw a woman covered in filth.
The woman was now emaciated, but judging from her appearance, she seemed to bear a striking resemblance to Princess Zhaoyang.
"Princess Zhaoyang, how does it feel up here? Is it damp and cold?"
Behind this house is a water dungeon; it would be strange if it weren't damp and gloomy.
"What do you want?"
The woman was weak and short of breath, and was almost unable to speak.
"Hehe, do you want to know how your two children are doing now?"
The woman was stunned for a moment, then her eyes widened as she stared straight at her. "What have you done to my child? Give them back to me, give them back to me!"
As the woman spoke, she stepped forward to tear apart the beautiful and charming Princess Zhaoyang.
But how could that young master Zheng do as she wished?
He kicked him to the ground with one foot.
"You bitch! How you treated me back then, today I'll make you taste the same bitterness."
Princess Zhaoyang, dressed in magnificent robes, smiled faintly, reached out and pulled, revealing a human skin mask in her hand.
