Chapter 7 Ambitions Ignited
The current emperor had six princes and three princesses.
Among them, the eldest prince died early, the second prince was confined, the Fourth Prince died on the way to being demoted out of the capital.
The remaining fifth and sixth princes, one had mediocre qualifications, the other had a disability.
If Zhao Yan hadn't been poisoned, the position of crown prince would have been his for sure.
But under my design, he was injured by poison. If it came to a real fight, I might not lose to him.
Although I didn't have Imperial Consort Mother's schemes.
But I thought Father Emperor was clearly on my side.
The Princess Ming'an and Princess Yuning above me were already married.
As long as I defeated Zhao Yan, the position of heir wouldn't be mine?
Once the ambition in my heart was ignited, it burned fiercely.
I curled my lips and had a rare peaceful night.
After arranging everything, Qi Wanwan's invitation arrived as scheduled.
On the beautiful Qishan Mountain, she used the excuse of having a secret to tell me and led me to the cliff edge.
The wind blew her plain clothes.
Fragile and slender like a white lotus.
"Zhao Tangyue, you've always looked down on me, right?"
Qi Wanwan said, with the cliff behind her.
I watched her from a distance, couldn't help but laugh.
"Yes, I do look down on you."
"Your father is a lowly man who favored concubines and destroyed his wife, your mother is a lowly maid who got pregnant before marriage, and you are the little lowly maid they produced together."
Qi Wanwan's face paled, anger flashed in her eyes.
But soon, she calmed down and said meaningfully.
"Laugh, you won't be smug for long."
"Zhao Tangyue, remember this is what you owe me."
With that, she jumped down.
In my previous life, seeing this scene, I was stunned for a long time, anxiously went back to find people.
But now, I leisurely walked to the cliff edge, looking at the bottomless river below, and raised my lips.
"Qi Wanwan, this is the opportunity you gave yourself."
Zhuyun Guard appeared, escorting the hidden maid.
I turned my head, saw the maid shaking like a sieve, kneeling before me at once.
"Pr-Princess, spare me!"
Her voice carried a sob, pitiful.
This was the witness Qi Wanwan arranged.
In my previous life, after Qi Wanwan jumped, I didn't discover the Qi family maid hiding here.
So she secretly found Zhao Yan, saying she witnessed me pushing Qi Wanwan off the cliff.
Then Zhao Yan gave her a sum of money and protected her well.
And I was smeared with dirty water, unable to refute.
