The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 674 - Capital Crime



Chapter 674: Capital Crime

Now that the Emperor had confirmed that the lethal destiny upon the Crown Prince and the royal family was fake, he could not be bothered with the rumors.

Xie Qiao had heard of these rumors, but she did not care.

Not only that, after the rumors spread, the Crown Prince sent many gifts to the Xie family. Pots and pots of flowers were brought into the residence.

Xie Qiao did like flowers and plants. Some flowers were picked to make wine and pastries. They were amazing.

Pei Wanyue had been secretly waiting for the news of the Princess Consort being deposed.

She waited and waited. The rumors in the capital were still there, but the Xie family…

She heard that the Crown Prince had sent the future Princess Consort many flowers and plants that were currently in full bloom. On the way to the Xie residence, the fragrance of the flowers lingered!

She heard that the Crown Prince had personally paid a visit to the future father-in-law and had a good chat with the Xie family!

It was also said that the Crown Prince was afraid that the Princess Consort’s dowry would not be enough, so he even sent some treasures and antiques over from time to time…

Pei Wanyue did not know whether those were true or false, but she was sure that Xie Qiao was doing great!

She could not bear it anymore. She kept thinking about it, but she did not know what she should do to make Xie Qiao stop being arrogant. She was so worried that she could not eat or sleep well, and she had lost a lot of weight.

Just as she was worrying, Wen Lancheng arrived.

There were other people beside him.

They entered her room together. They did not look friendly.

“M-Master…” Pei Wanyue looked at Wen Lancheng in panic.

Wen Lancheng cupped his hands at Zhao Xuanjing. “Your Highness, this is my concubine, Ms. Pei.”

Zhao Xuanjing nodded slightly. “As expected, her face matches her viciousness. Execute her.”

He only gave her a cold glance.

He naturally did not come here for this woman, but to see Wen Lancheng. He had recently found out that the one spreading rumors was the woman around Wen Lancheng, so he came to take a look.

He thought it was a goddess who would be so unconvinced of Xie Qiao. He did not expect that…

She looked fine, but she was vicious.

Zhou Weizong waved, and someone behind him prepared a three-piece set. They then brought it over and placed it in front of Pei Wanyue.

Xie Pinggang was also there.

“W-What are you doing?!” Pei Wanyue was flustered. She quickly tugged at Wen Lancheng’s clothes. “Master, why are you doing this to me?!”

Wen Lancheng looked like a little lamb. His voice was still extremely gentle. “Ms. Pei, I’ve warned you a few days ago to not talk nonsense about the Crown Prince and the Princess Consort. You’ve forgotten about it too quickly.”

Pei Wanyue was panicking. “I-I didn’t…”

“The few people you’ve hired have confessed. They’ve become a few corpses in the criminal division. We’re letting you die at home because your mother was the stepmother of the Princess Consort. That’s the most mercy we can show you.”

If not, she would be thrown into the prison of the criminal division, strangled to death with a rope, and thrown into a mass grave.

“No, you can’t do this! I’m innocent! Eldest Brother! Eldest Brother, save me! I’m your sister too!” Pei Wanyue was terrified and quickly shouted at Xie Pinggang.

Xie Pinggang kicked her. “I don’t have a sister as stupid as you!”

Pei Wanyue felt pain all over her body, but she still stepped back.

White silk, daggers, and poison wine!

Pei Wanyue was really flustered. Although she had done so much, she had never thought that she would be sentenced to death!

“I’ve only told the truth! Crown Prince! Your Highness! It’s true that Xie Qiao has a lethal destiny! I only told the truth. Why are you punishing me…?” Pei Wanyue quickly shouted.

The Crown Prince had only come to take a look. He had already gone to the courtyard to drink tea.

Wen Lancheng shook his head and sighed, “Young Lady Pei, this matter has spread throughout the city and shaken the hearts of the people. What you have committed is indeed a capital crime.”
