Chapter 1452 Eliminating the 3rd Prince (Bonus Chapter for 201 Million Reward Points)
"The Imperial Noble Consort wouldn't be so kind as to let us find evidence that could completely clear the Prince's name."
Yingxiang asked, puzzled, "Why?"
"Your Highness has not offended the Imperial Noble Consort, has he?"
Bahargul sneered, "His Majesty is currently putting pressure on the Prince step by step. The Imperial Noble Consort is of one mind with His Majesty, so how could she do anything that would undermine His Majesty's plans?"
"By stigmatizing the prince, His Majesty can more easily control and suppress him!"
This insightful analysis left Yingxiang speechless.
She murmured, "Then...then are we really going to be used as pawns by the Imperial Noble Consort, and do what she wants to do to deal with Consort Dun?"
Bahargul clenched her fists, her eyes swirling with intense struggle. But in the end, her hatred for Princess Dunfei triumphed over everything.
Even knowing it was a trap, she would jump in without hesitation for the sake of the prince!
"Consort Dun has harmed the Prince to this extent; this enmity is irreconcilable!"
Bahargul gazed in the direction of Yikun Palace, her eyes icy, and said, word by word, "She wants to continue to live a peaceful life as a concubine, enjoying honor and wealth? Dream on!"
"Even if I'm being used by the Imperial Noble Consort, I'm determined to be her scapegoat! Consort Dun... must pay a bloody price for everything she's done!"
Even if the final result is to be shattered to pieces, I will drag Consort Dun down into the abyss with me!
Hearing the undisguised killing intent in Bahargul's words, Yingxiang's heart tightened, and she asked in a low voice, "Master, what... what do you plan to do?"
"After all, Consort Dun holds a noble position and is heavily guarded. We are afraid it will be difficult for us to get close to her."
Bahargul's lips curled into a cold smile: "How can merely inflicting physical pain on Consort Dun satisfy my hatred? I will make her taste a bitter pill she will never forget!"
"Isn't that poisonous woman the one who cherishes the Third Prince the most? She holds him in the palm of her hand every day, treasuring him more than the eyeballs of her eyes."
"If something were to happen to Consort Dun's precious darling... do you think she would go crazy? Would she be devastated?"
At this point, Bahargul paused, a sense of vengeful pleasure rising in her heart: "Moreover, the Third Prince is His Majesty's eldest son. If something happens to him, His Majesty will surely be thrown into turmoil. With the court's attention diverted, the pressure on the Prince might be somewhat relieved."
"That's killing two birds with one stone!"
Yingxiang was startled at first, then pondered for a moment, and a look of approval flashed in her eyes: "Master's consideration is thorough."
“If something really happens to the Third Prince, it will indeed severely damage Consort Dun and also temporarily restrain His Majesty.”
"But... murdering a royal heir is a grave crime. We absolutely cannot leave any trace and get ourselves implicated..."
Bahargul smiled coldly: "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid as to personally attack the Third Prince."
“There is one person… who is the most suitable to do this.”
……
Chuxiu Palace.
When Consort Kang heard that Bahargul wanted to see her, her heart skipped a beat, followed by a sense of destiny that what was bound to happen had finally come.
The shady entanglement between her and Bahargul always needs to be thoroughly resolved.
The two found the right opportunity and met secretly.
The night was hazy, and the shadows of the trees swayed, completely concealing the figures of Consort Kang and Bahargul.
Consort Kang cut to the chase and asked, "What brings you to see me?"
Bahargul looked at her forced composure, a hint of mockery flashing in her eyes, and said slowly, "Sister Kangfei is truly forgetful."
Do you still remember what you promised me last time?
Consort Kang's face was slightly pale.
Of course she remembered.
That deadly Buddhist scripture is still in Bahargul's hands.
“...You said that as long as I do one last thing for you, you will return the things to me.”
Bahargul smiled and said, "Sister Kangfei has a good memory."
Consort Kang didn't want to get entangled with her any longer, so she asked directly, "Speak, what exactly do you want me to do?"
Bahargul stepped forward and said to Consort Kang, "I don't want to see the Third Prince... continue to live in this world!"
"what?!"
Consort Kang gasped in shock, took a half step back, and stared at Bahargul in disbelief: "Are you crazy?!"
"If you have a grudge against Consort Dun and want revenge, then go after her. The Third Prince is just a child; what has a mere child done wrong?!"
Bahargul thought she had heard the biggest joke in the world: "Innocent children?"
"Sister Kangfei, when you used the Fifth Prince to target him, did you ever think about these four words?"
Consort Kang's face drained of color instantly. She opened her mouth, but couldn't utter a single word, only boundless guilt and remorse remained...
She instinctively avoided Bahargul's sharp gaze, her fingers trembling slightly.
Yes.
What right does she have to say the phrase "innocent children"?
After some struggle, Consort Kang still shook her head and said, "To plot against the imperial heir is a capital offense punishable by confiscation of property and extermination of the entire clan."
"Besides, I have already said that I will never harm innocent children again. I cannot help you with this!"
A flash of malice crossed Bahargul's eyes as she took a step closer and said, "Can't you help?"
"Sister Kangfei, have you forgotten that Buddhist scripture? It contains your own handwritten thoughts about Master Xingchen that you don't want to be seen in the light of day."
"If His Majesty knew about this... even if it's just Consort Kang's unrequited love, do you think His Majesty would be able to tolerate a concubine in the harem who loves another man?"
"How will the Zhang family, now that they're all gone, face this?"
Consort Kang's face turned deathly pale, her lips trembling as she said, "How could I know that if I did as you said, you wouldn't continue to use that Buddhist scripture to blackmail me?"
"Unless... you return the things to me right now!"
Bahargul scoffed, "If I return it, and Consort Kang turns around and goes back on her word, wouldn't I lose both my money and my lover? What would I have left to control you then?"
Consort Kang closed her eyes as she watched Bahargul press closer.
She cannot live under the other party's threat forever, being manipulated like a puppet to do those heinous and irredeemable things!
A surge of do-or-die courage welled up within her, and Consort Kang straightened her back, declaring, "I have already done so much for you, even taking advantage of the Fifth Prince's health. Once you're on this pirate ship, how can you get off so easily? You are completely overthinking it."
"Today, either you do as I say and return the Buddhist scriptures to me first, and then I will get rid of the Third Prince for you."
"Either—"
Consort Kang took a deep breath and said resolutely, "We'll fight to the death! I'll go and confess everything to His Majesty right now!"
"Since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well take you with me so I won't be alone on the road to the underworld!"
After saying that, she actually turned around suddenly, her back view showing a resolute determination.
Bahargul never expected that Consort Kang, who had always seemed weak and easily bullied and easily manipulated in front of her, would suddenly show such a tough side, even willing to perish together with her!
