Chapter 230: Imprisoned in the Woodshed

"Ah!" Jiang Jingyue screamed and fell to the ground with this extremely cruel slap. Her forehead hit the ground and a warm current slid down her forehead.

There was a black fog in front of her eyes and her head was so dizzy that she couldn't see the scenery in front of her. Jiang Jingyue couldn't react for a long time and lay on the ground motionless.

The two maids were so scared that their faces turned pale and their legs softened and they knelt down.

Mu Xiu stared at her coldly: "You jinx, what else can you do except cause trouble for me? You are not as pretty as Yan Li, you are not as capable as Yan Li, and you are not as lucky as Yan Li. I am really unlucky to marry you!"

Jiang Jingyue's heart was cold, and she was overwhelmed by despair and resentment.

Not as good-looking as Yan Li, not as capable as Yan Li?

So he now blames all the sins on her!

"Come here!" Mu Xiuhan ordered fiercely, "Take Jiang Jingyue to the woodshed and lock her up! Don't let her out without my order!"

"Your Highness." The maid subconsciously pleaded, "Don't--"

"Whoever dares to plead, we will be locked up in the woodshed together!" Mu Xiuhan left this sentence coldly and turned away.

Jiang Jingyue's face was pale, staring at his back without blinking, her eyes full of sadness and irony.

This is the husband she chose, the prince she wanted to help with all her heart.

When she got into trouble, he didn't comfort her or feel sorry for her, but he also locked her up in the woodshed and called her a jinx?

In the past, "jinx" was clearly a word he used to scold Yan Li. When did she become a jinx too?

When Jiang Jingyue was dragged to the woodshed by the nanny, her chest was filled with hatred, but in her confusion, she couldn't tell who to hate.

Hate Mu Xiuhan for being ruthless and ungrateful and turning his face against her?

Hate Yan Li for hurting her like this?

Hate the emperor for being cold-blooded and not giving her grandfather any face?

Or hate... hate herself for being blind and falling for Mu Xiu Han?

The nanny pushed her into the woodshed: "It's late now, everyone is asleep, please be quiet, concubine. If His Highness calms down tomorrow morning, he might let you out."

As soon as the voice fell, the door of the woodshed was closed in front of her.

The woodshed was pitch black and so quiet that it was scary.

After a day of emotional torture, Jiang Jingyue felt that the world was so quiet that it seemed as if she was the only one left.

Hate, resentment, greed, and stupidity...

The jealousy of seeing Yan Li getting married in the Ninth Prince's Mansion, the shock of knowing that she was a princess of Jin, the fear of being questioned when returning to the Jiang family, and the despair of being sentenced to death after interrogation.

In just one day, too many things happened, making her physically and mentally exhausted.

Nothing was worth her happiness.

Jiang Jingyue hugged her knees blankly, looking at the window of the woodshed, and suddenly fell on her knees and cried bitterly.

Why did the master treat her like this?

What did she do wrong? !

If it weren't for Yan Li, that damn bitch, who robbed her of her luck, she wouldn't have ended up like this.

If it weren't for Yan Li...

Jiang Jingyue clenched her hands tightly, gritting her teeth and thinking that she would never let Yan Li go.

The culprit of all this is that little bitch!

It was still a little cold in the woodshed at night.

Jiang Jingyue couldn't stop shivering all over. She wanted someone to send her some warm bedding, but thinking of Mu Xiuhan's attitude just now and the nanny's domineering, she had to give up this idea.

So if you are not favored, you deserve this fate?

Jiang Jingyue smiled coldly, a little crazy.

No, she refused to accept her fate.

She must make Yan Li pay the price, let her return everything she has robbed, she wants the crown prince to be reinstated, she wants to take back the position of crown princess.

At that time, grandparents will continue to look at her differently, will give her proud eyes, and parents will be proud of her.

The three brothers can also continue to enter the officialdom because of her, and their future is limitless.

Jiang Jingyue swore secretly in her heart, swore fiercely.

A waning moon hung high in the sky, exuding a cold and cold luster.

Jiang Jingyue fell asleep in a daze in the firewood room, but the sleep was not peaceful, waking up and sleeping, shivering with cold.

...

Yan Li slept particularly peacefully that night.

After Mu Cang said the four words "feeding the Gu with blood" last night, she did not ask any more questions.

She only looked at Mu Cang's handsome and noble face, wondering what the reason was that the dignified war god of Mu State would not hesitate to feed the Gu worm with his own body essence and blood.

But after thinking about it, the answer is already obvious.

Yan Li thought about it and went back to the bedroom to sleep. Her silent expression made people unsure of her mood.

Mu Cang stayed alone in the side hall for a long time, not sure whether she was angry or had other emotional fluctuations.

When she got up and dressed in the morning, Mu Cang received an order from the palace.

"The emperor asked the Ninth Prince and the Ninth Princess to have dinner in the palace early in the morning, and asked the princes to pay homage to the Ninth Princess." Xiao Changhai came to convey the order in person and brought the latest news, "The emperor tried the case at the Jiang family overnight last night. The deaths of Nanny Yan and Nanny Li have been revealed. The culprit is Jiang Jingyue, the legitimate daughter of the Jiang family."

Hearing this news, Mu Cang did not show any surprise on his face, but just nodded lightly.

"The emperor has issued an edict to demote Princess Xian to a concubine and imprison her in Prince Xian's mansion together with Prince Xian. She is not allowed to leave the mansion for life." Xiao Changhai continued, "But they will also come to the palace to pay homage to the Ninth Prince and Princess Ninth today."

Yan Li walked out of the inner courtyard, his voice cold: "Thank you for the trip, eunuch Xiao. The prince and I will go to the palace after changing clothes."

"Yes." Xiao Changhai agreed, and then added, "Today's family banquet has a lot of people. All the royal relatives have been invited. The Prince of Yu and the Prince of Xian will also go. But don't worry, the Queen of Jin and the four princes are here. They won't let anyone bully you."

Yan Li nodded: "I know."

"I'll take my leave."

Yan Li ordered someone to hand him a bag of silver. Xiao Changhai waved his hands repeatedly: "I dare not, I dare not!"

He dared to take the silver given by others, but he would never dare to take the silver from the Ninth Prince.

"This is the wedding silver from my wedding with the Ninth Prince yesterday." Yan Li smiled sympathetically, "Everyone has a share, take it."

Xiao Changhai paused and subconsciously looked at Mu Cang. Mu Cang nodded, and he thanked him repeatedly: "Thank you, Princess Ninth."

Yan Li watched Xiao Changhai leave, and said in a faint voice: "The emperor should have known about Jiang Jingyue's murder of the two maids a long time ago, but he just kept holding her down, waiting for Jiang Yi to come and give her an explanation?"

Mu Cang was silent for a moment, and nodded slowly: "He didn't fulfill his promise to Jiang Yi, so he should give her an explanation."

If Jiang Jingyue had been punished early, how could Jiang Yi's anger be calmed last night?

The dissatisfaction in the heart always needs an outlet.

Mu Cang turned to look at Yan Li: "Do you need someone to protect you?"
