Chapter 47: Chun Tao Tries to Frame Her and the Guard

le, as refreshing as a gentle breeze. 。Qingxuan: "Don't worry, both you and your mother won't die"But I want you to be loyal to me from now on. If you can do that, I will cure your mother's illness. 。...Last night, because of Ginger Red's sudden appearance, Qingxuan didn't sleep well at all and now looks exhausted.

Now her pained and haggard appearance successfully deceived Chun Tao.

>

Chun Tao, seeing this, immediately believed that Nan Gong Ye hadn't died yet.

Chun Tao let out a cold snort: “Your Highness, before you used your status to pressure me. Now you must understand that serving the King is your duty. You should enjoy it!”

Enraged by Chun Tao's words, she glared fiercely and reached out to grab Chun Tao's neck.

"You despicable wretch. You're the one who's going to die. Even if I die, I'll drag you down with me!"

Chun Tao didn't react in time and was tightly pinched on the neck.

Although this body is weak, it has been doing hard labor since childhood and has quite a bit of strength in its hands.

As soon as she exerted any force, Chun Tao felt like the woman in front of her was going to strangle her.

She widened her eyes in terror, letting out fragmented cries for help: "Help me..."

As expected, Zhang Jin appeared at this time.

Zhang Jin: "Your Highness, forgive my offense!"

Zhang Jin directly pried open her hand that was choking Chun Tao's neck.

Although she has a strong grip, she doesn't know martial arts. Compared to someone like Zhang Jin who practices martial arts, she's just a weakling.

Zhang Jin easily wrenched her hand open.

Fresh air poured into her lungs, inhaling the spring peach that had just risen. She breathed heavily, and glared at her with resentment.

"You, a dying princess, dare to defy me now! I can give you two day-old stale buns every day, or nothing at all. Then, you won't have to die with your husband, but will starve to death in this courtyard!"

Chun Tao is taking advantage of the fact that now Empress Jiang is waiting for Nan Gong Ye to die and won't come back to this manor. She, just a maid, acts as if she is the master of this manor and flaunts her power.

Qing Xuan was originally acting out a scene of collapse, and before she could continue, Zhang Jin, who had been acting like a mute guard, unexpectedly spoke up for her.

Chapter Jin: "Presumptuous! You, a maidservant, dare to be so disrespectful in front of the Princess!"

Not only was she not expecting Zhang Jin to speak up for her, but Chun Tao was also stunned by Zhang Jin's outburst.

Chun Tao glared at Zhang Jin, "Zhang Jin, what do you mean You're just a pathetic guard sent here by Empress Jiang!"

Now Chun Tao openly acknowledges that the people who are secretly watching them were sent by Ginger Concubine.

Zhang Jin frowned: "Broken guard, then what are you"

Chun Tao, furious, pointed at Zhang Jin with her finger, like a shrew scolding in the market, and spat out angrily: "You're the real dog thing. Empress Jiang sent you here to watch Qi Qingxuan, not to let you act like a meddling mouse here..."

Zhang Jin was also a clever man. Faced with Chun Tao's arrogant and domineering maid, he didn't have time to play word games with her.

Before Chun Tao could finish speaking, Zhang Jin had already drawn his sword and held it to Chun Tao's throat. Chun Tao was so frightened that she didn't even dare to breathe.

Chun Tao was frightened white as a sheet: “You… what do you want to do”

Zhang Jin: "Apologize to the Princess."

Hearing Zhang Jin's words, Chun Tao gasped: "Zhang Jin, are you crazy!"

Chun Tao reacted quickly too. Though she was startled by the sword Zhang Jin held to her neck the previous moment, she immediately regained composure. As a confidante of Empress Jiang, Zhang Jin wouldn't dare truly harm her.

Thinking about this, Chun Tao let out a cold snort: “Ji Qingxuan isn’t even a real princess, she’s just a bride brought in for good luck. You really dare to threaten me to please this dying woman Kill me if you want, I don’t believe you’d really dare lay a hand on me!”

Chun Tao reacted quickly, but Zhang Jin wasn't stupid either.

He shifted the long sword resting on Chun Tao's neck upward, until it was pressed against her face.

Zhang Jin: “I wouldn’t dare to kill you, but ruining your face is something I wouldn't mind doing.”

Chun Tao originally still had confidence, certain that Zhang Jin wouldn't dare to kill her, but now she was scared.

Chun Tao swallowed her fear and forced a calm expression. “If you dare to ruin my face, I’ll go straight to Empress Jiang and tell her about your affair with Ji Qingxuan!” calmly replied, "Reporting to Father Emperor, I can cure this woman's illness. But..."Qing Xuan wanted to speak but hesitated, sure enough, it attracted the questioning of the emperor.The Emperor sai...
