Quick Transmigration: Vicious Female Side Character Role-play Plan

Upon hearing this, Jiang Xin Ren stood up abruptly, her face deathly pale. She felt dizzy, and her vision went black as she collapsed back down.

Qiu Ye hurriedly supported her, her voice choked with sobs, “Your Highness, Your Highness, you must take care of yourself. The Third Prince is blessed and will definitely be safe and sound. He is still waiting for you!”

“Yes, yes, I can’t let anything happen to me.” Jiang Xin Ren caught her breath and immediately shouted at the palace maids and guards, “All of you, go and search! Go and search now!”

Today’s matter was decided by the Emperor himself. Now that the little prince was missing and his life or death unknown, the Emperor was both anxious and guilty, his anger-filled gaze falling on the Empress.

If it weren’t for the Empress constantly instigating him, how would he have made the decision to bring the little prince to the Kunning Palace?

Thinking like this, all his remorse turned into anger towards the Empress.

Jiang Xin Ren sat back down dejectedly, her face pale and looking very weak. Zhao Yue Li felt sympathy and walked over to comfort her,

“The Third Prince will definitely be safe and sound. Your Highness, don’t worry too much.”

How could she not worry?!

She forced out a smile, “I hope your words come true.”

Just in this tense atmosphere, after waiting for a long time, voices finally came from outside the Kunning Palace.

She immediately sat up straight, looking forward eagerly, only to be disappointed to find that it was just a guard who entered, without her prince.

She became anxious and asked the guard before the Emperor could speak, “Where is my prince? Have you found him?”

At a time like this, naturally, no one would make an issue out of this. The Emperor also turned his gaze to the guard.

The guard knelt in the center, feeling the urgent gazes of the nobles in the hall waiting for his words. He couldn’t help but break out in a cold sweat. If he had brought good news, the nobles would naturally be happy and reward him generously, but now…

He gritted his teeth, “Replying to Consort Hui, the Third Prince has been found, but…”

Jiang Xin Ren was overjoyed and stood up before he could finish speaking, “Where is my prince?”

“In the, the pond in front of the Flowing Cloud Hall.”

“In the pond?” Jiang Xin Ren almost couldn’t comprehend and repeated, “Why is my prince in the pond?”

Hearing this, the concubines’ expressions changed drastically. They quickly thought about whether that palace was close to their residences. Those far away breathed a sigh of relief; those nearby secretly thought it was not good, fearing they would be implicated.

The Emperor’s heart trembled. He almost couldn’t believe his ears. Seeing Jiang Xin Ren still not realizing it, his heart ached, “Beloved Consort…”

Looking around and seeing them all showing sympathetic and evasive expressions, Jiang Xin Ren finally understood the meaning behind it. She was struck as if by lightning and desperately denied,

“No! No! I don’t believe it! How dare you, a mere guard, lie to me! I want to see for myself!”

With that said, she pushed away the people supporting her and stumbled out of the Kunning Palace.

The Emperor hurriedly followed.

The Empress was overjoyed when she suddenly heard that the Third Prince was gone, but when she thought of the suspicious and hateful way His Majesty had looked at her just now, she became worried and also hurriedly followed.

By the time Jiang Xin Ren arrived at the Flowing Cloud Hall, a group of guards were gathered around the pond, and the palace maids from the Jian Jia Palace were kneeling there, crying loudly.

She pushed away the guards with a pale face and saw the small swaddling cloth held in the arms of the Jian Jia Palace maids. The pattern was the one Xu’er had used today.

“No! No!”

Her legs went weak, and she almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, Bai Shuang reacted quickly and supported her.

The sound of crying and the panicked shouts of the palace maids filled her ears, making her head throb with pain.

“Why are you crying? What are you crying for!” She screamed hoarsely, “Where is the Imperial Physician? Imperial Physician! Come and take a look!”

The group of Imperial Physicians who had just arrived hesitated, standing at a distance, looking at the complexion of the Third Prince. After a long while, they didn’t move, estimating that he had already passed away. If they went forward now, wouldn’t they be seeking their own death? The Consort who had lost her beloved son wouldn’t let them off.

In the end, it was Imperial Physician Song who stepped forward. He carefully walked to the Third Prince’s side and reached out to feel for a pulse on his neck. There was no pulse, and his expression turned slightly pale. He then turned to examine the eyelids, his face becoming even more pale and fearful.

“How is it? How is it?!” Jiang Xin Ren stared at him intently, her beautiful eyes still carrying a final glimmer of hope.

Imperial Physician Song knelt on the ground and heavily kowtowed, saying with difficulty, “Please, Your Highness, restrain your grief.”

The last glimmer of hope and luck vanished. Her body swayed, and she almost fainted. Her heart ached as if being cut by a knife. She covered her chest and scolded, “You quack! Quack!”

She struggled to push away the people beside her and snatched the swaddling cloth into her arms, holding it tightly as teardrops rolled down one by one, “How could anything happen to my prince? Quack! Quack!”

The Emperor stood to the side, his expression dazed, in pain and agony. Seeing Jiang Xin Ren holding the Third Prince and crying in heart-wrenching grief, his nose turned sour. He forcibly held back his tears and called out, “Beloved Consort.”

Seeing her still crying, he walked to her side, squatted down, and raised his voice, “Beloved Consort!”

The crying weakened, and Jiang Xin Ren slowly raised her head. When she turned to look at the Emperor, her usually enchanting and beautiful face had withered like a faded flower, covered in tear stains, her eyes lost, “Your Majesty…”

The Emperor pressed his hands on her shoulders, “Xu’er definitely wouldn’t want to see you like this.”

“Xu’er…” She murmured, “Doesn’t want to see…”

She seemed to calm down, but in the next moment, her pain erupted, “Xu’er won’t know anymore! He will never know anymore!”

“He will never respond to me again! He can’t hear me anymore. He’s already, he can’t hear anymore.”

“Your Majesty! Your Majesty! Our prince is gone! He’s dead! He’s dead!”

She collapsed into the Emperor’s arms, her tearful words right by his ear, each word dripping with blood, “He’s dead! He was killed by someone! He was still so young, he hadn’t even called Your Majesty ‘Imperial Father’ or me ‘Imperial Mother’ yet, and he was killed! Your Majesty–“

How could the Emperor not be heartbroken? This was also the prince he had been looking forward to for a long time, yet today he left so suddenly. To make matters worse, it was his own mistake that led to it.

In his grief, anger ignited in his heart. He gritted his teeth and said word by word, “Where is Rong Fu?!”

“Reporting to Your Majesty, Rong Fu is missing.”

Missing? What a good excuse, missing!

He took a deep breath, suppressing his anger, and asked the palace maids from the Jian Jia Palace, “What about you? Why weren’t you by the Third Prince’s side?!”

That group of palace maids immediately knelt on the ground and kowtowed desperately to explain,

“An hour ago, Eunuch Rong Fu came and said it was Your Majesty’s verbal order to bring the little prince to the Kunning Palace. We naturally had to follow, but as soon as we left the Jian Jia Palace, Eunuch Rong Fu dismissed us. When we returned, the little prince and the eunuch were gone, and then…”

And then they discovered that the little prince was gone.

Rong Fu! It was indeed Rong Fu! An eunuch who had been by his side for so long! He killed the little prince! Whose man was he?!

The Emperor’s gaze subconsciously fell on the Empress. The Empress was startled and, disregarding her dignity, immediately knelt to explain,

“Your Majesty! This concubine knows nothing about today’s matter! This concubine only wanted Granny Chen to treat the Third Prince out of good intentions. How could I have known that Your Majesty would send Eunuch Rong Fu to fetch the Third Prince?”

But today, it was indeed her who had instigated bringing the Third Prince out. She couldn’t escape this. The Empress secretly felt miserable.

It made some sense. The Emperor temporarily suppressed his suspicion of the Empress and was about to ask something else when he felt a weight in his arms. Looking down, it turned out that the Consort had fainted from excessive grief. His expression changed greatly, and he immediately ordered the Imperial Physician, “Quickly come and check on the Consort!”

Imperial Physician Song stepped forward, but Jiang Xin Ren was tightly holding the swaddling cloth to her chest, guarding it so closely that there was no gap. He didn’t know where to start.

Others wanted to take the Third Prince from Her Highness’ arms, but she held him so tightly. They also heard the unconscious Consort struggling, “No! Don’t take away my prince!”

The palace maids were at a loss and didn’t dare to forcibly take him, fearing they would hurt the Consort. They could only send the Consort back to the Jian Jia Palace like this.

The Emperor stood in front of the bed and, seeing the woman who was still shedding tears even while unconscious, said in a low voice, “I will definitely find out the truth.”

The person who harmed their prince must be torn to shreds!

The current breakthrough point was the missing Rong Fu. Even if they had to dig three feet into the ground, they had to find him!

This thorough search continued until the second day. Just as dusk was approaching, a guard came to report:

Rong Fu had been found.
