The Reborn Princess Has Turned Evil

Chapter 107 Framing Jing Rou

Just then, Afang suddenly entered. Upon seeing Xiao Heng and Jing Anle in such close proximity, she was immediately startled, turned her face away instantly, and exclaimed, "Princess..."

Jing Anle and Xiao Heng immediately distanced themselves from each other, and an unnatural blush appeared on Jing Anle's face, while Xiao Heng had a smile on his lips. Was he shy?

"What's wrong?" Jing Anle coughed lightly and asked.

"Consort Lin has arrived!" Upon hearing Jing Anle's voice, Afang turned around.

Jing Anle glanced at Xiao Heng, who tactfully stood up and retreated behind the screen by the window, appearing to be adhering to proper etiquette.

"Please invite Consort Lin in!"

Upon receiving the order, Afang immediately replied, "Yes!" and hurried out.

At this moment, Jing Anle and Xiao Heng were separated by a screen, looking at each other without speaking, as if everything was understood without words.

Sure enough, Consort Lin came up shortly afterward.

"I heard the princess is unwell?"

At this moment, Jing Anle was leaning against the bed, covered with a cool quilt woven with gold thread. Her skin was already fair, and she had already wiped off her lip rouge. Although she was weak, she was still beautiful and looked like a sickly beauty.

After Lin Fei finished speaking, she noticed Xiao Heng's presence. She was taken aback and asked, "What's this?"

"Xiao Heng greets Consort Lin!"

Xiao Heng gave a slight bow, and Consort Lin smiled and nodded in return, "Greetings, Crown Prince Xiao!"

Although Consort Lin lived deep within the palace, the grand welcoming ceremony that day meant that even though she had never met Xiao Heng, she had heard of his name.

"Please, Your Majesty, take my pulse!" Jing Anle said.

"it is good!"

As Lin Fei spoke, she walked towards Jing Anle.

"Thank you for your trouble, Your Highness." Jing Anle said, extending her hand. As she spoke, she looked at Consort Lin, as if she were saying something.

Consort Lin placed her hand on Jing Anle's wrist, and the room fell silent.

Hmm? In just a moment, Consort Lin had already figured it out: Jing Anle had no problems at all.

"The princess seemed to have been frightened, and her blood rushed to her heart, which caused her to faint," Consort Lin said, contradicting the facts completely.

After Lin Fei finished speaking, she met Jing Anle's eyes, and a hint of understanding flashed in them.

When Xiao Heng heard Consort Lin's words, he couldn't help but want to laugh, but he still kept a straight face and thought to himself: This Consort Lin is really a shrewd person.

"Blood and qi attacking the heart?" A dignified voice suddenly came from outside the door.

The newcomer exuded a powerful aura, dressed in a black dragon robe. It was none other than Emperor Jing. As soon as he entered, everyone was awestruck by the emperor's presence.

"See Your Majesty!"

"Father?"

As soon as Emperor Jing entered, he looked around and was taken aback when he saw Consort Lin and Xiao Heng. He then said, "Get up, both of you!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Only then did everyone get up.

"How could your blood and qi attack your heart?" Emperor Jing walked straight to Jing Anle, his eyes filled with deep worry.

Jing Anle felt a warmth in her heart. Whether in the past or now, her father had always loved her so much.

"His Majesty!"

Afang stepped forward and knelt before Emperor Jing, her voice filled with sorrow as she said, word by word, "Your Majesty, this was all done by Princess Rou!"

Jing Anle looked at Afang with a hint of admiration in his eyes, "This Afang is quite clever today."

"Princess Rou?" Emperor Jing murmured in confusion.

“Yes, today the princess was disrespectful to the princess. When I tried to stop her, the princess hit me and even mocked the princess, saying…” Afang looked up at Emperor Jing but dared not continue.

"What did you say?" Emperor Jing pressed.

"The princess said that our princess lacked a mother's upbringing, which is why...that's why she didn't know the rules. The princess fainted in a fit of anger. Fortunately, Crown Prince Xiao came to her aid and brought her back," Afang continued, without mentioning at all that Jing Anle had hit Jing Rou.

Afang's words were not wrong; Jingrou did indeed say those words, but not today.

As soon as the words were spoken, Emperor Jing's expression darkened further, a deep, piercing light flashing in his eyes. Consort Lin's heart also skipped a beat. Everyone knew the late Empress Qin Yin's place in Emperor Jing's heart, and now the princess dared to speak so openly and disrespectfully to the late Empress and the princess, which undoubtedly touched Emperor Jing's sore spot.

The atmosphere inside was terribly heavy. Prince Qing already harbored rebellious intentions, and his daughter was no different!

"Father..." Jing Anle knew that Emperor Jing was saddened by thinking of his mother, and called out softly.

Emperor Jing looked at Jing Anle, whose face was deathly pale, and asked, "How is the princess's condition?"

He was naturally asking Consort Lin this question.

"Your Majesty, the princess is still young. She was just in a fit of anger and suddenly fell ill. As long as she takes good care of herself, she will be fine," Consort Lin replied respectfully with her eyes lowered.

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jing nodded and said, "Thank you so much for today."

In the past, Consort Lin would have definitely declined, but now she simply nodded and said, "This is what I should do." Emperor Jing was surprised by her behavior. In the past, she was always indifferent and aloof, but today she had said quite a lot.

Emperor Jing stood up, walked to Xiao Heng, and said, "I'm also troubling Crown Prince Xiao."

"Your Majesty is too kind. How can we not help the princess when she is in trouble?" Xiao Heng said solemnly.

"Since the princess is alright, I shall take my leave now."

Emperor Jing nodded and said, "Crown Prince Xiao, stop here."
