Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 898: Chapter 898 The Princess Consort is the Unlucky One_1

Upon hearing these words, Jiang Ning, whose head was buzzing with anger, suddenly became clear-headed.

Princess Ling’an kept touting the banner of revenge on her behalf and beating Li Yuanyuan to a pulp. This was clearly an attempt to frame her!

Everyone knew about the character of Princess Ling’an. Despite her unruly and extravagant ways, she was not cunning.

In layman’s terms, she was straightforward and honest.

Why would she have any issue with the Side Concubine of the Crown Prince all of a sudden? Simply because Concubine Li was favored for a few days? This made no sense.

Li Yuanyuan had been with the Crown Prince for quite a few years. Even before the arrival of the Princess Consort, Li Yuanyuan was known as the most favored concubine in the Prince of Yu’s residence. Princess Ling’an had not shown any sign of insanity then, had she?

This lead people to easily think that she was acting under someone else’s instructions.

And she was residing in the Crystal Clear Manor of the Princess Consort. Without Concubine Li, who would benefit the most? That person must be the one behind her actions, and it was easy to guess who that might be.

Having figured all this out, Jiang Ning surprisingly calmed down.

This at least proved that Princess Ling’an was not really going mad. She was pretending to be mad with a purpose, she was instigated by someone, and was acting mad to frame her.

Of course, the person instructing her to act mad was not Jiang Ning.

Jiang Ning was the unfortunate one to be framed by her.

Princess Ling’an was proud and arrogant, infatuated with her brother, the Crown Prince. The person who could make her act in such a way must have offered something that moved her heart.

The only one who could move her heart was her beloved brother, the Crown Prince.

And the only person who could offer her the Crown Prince was the Emperor himself. Looking around the entire Imperial Palace, only the Emperor had that power.

Although the Empress could also be considered to some extent. Although she was not favored by the Emperor, she was the mistress of the Harem, the emperor’s formal wife, and had the right to deal with all matters related to the harem.

Then, was it the Emperor or the Empress who made Princess Ling’an act this way?

To find out was simple. All they needed to do was see who would criticize her later.

Gufeng whispered, “Looking at the state of Concubine Li, she might not survive. When the Crown Prince arrives, he might blame the Seventh Miss.”

Jiang Ning was slightly stunned.

How could she have forgotten that Li Yuanyuan was the Crown Prince’s favorite concubine, and if she were beaten to death, wouldn’t the Crown Prince vent his anger on her?

It seems that the verification method she thought of just now does not work.

The Crown Prince would never let Ling’an attack his most beloved concubine.

Jiang Ning had Ling’An guided to sit on a chair, saying, “If you promise not to lay hands on her again, I will untie your ropes.”

“I promise not to lay a hand on anyone else. I will only deal with Li Yuanyuan.”

“Alright, Gufeng, untie her ropes.”

Gufeng, without any worries, was there to supervise. Was he afraid of the unruly princess causing trouble?

Once the ropes were untied, Ling’an moved her hands and feet, huffed, and sat down, but then she immediately bounced up with a yelp.

Her injury on her buttock was not completely healed yet.

Jiang Ning asked, “Who made you hit Concubine Li?”

“Who told me to hit her? I came on my own. I simply couldn’t stand her. In such a hot weather, and while I’m injured, she wouldn’t even give me ice. If I don’t deal with her, who should I deal with?”

“If you need ice, you could just tell me.”

“Don’t all the menial tasks of the East Palace fall under Li Yuanyuan’s jurisdiction? Even the ice for the Princess Consort is sent by her. Who else would I have asked for it?”

“You seem to know a lot.”

“…It’s not hard to find out. Who wouldn’t know?” Ling’an muttered irritably.

“So who did you hear it from, Princess Ling’an?” Jiang Ning asked calmly.
