Chapter 144: The Daughter Who Wants to Die
Chapter 144: The Daughter Who Wants to Die
Liu Qingdai, the legitimate daughter of Minister Liu, is engaged to the crown prince.
As a result, he was framed by his concubine sister Liu Qingyu and sold to a brothel. When he was found by Madam Liu, his innocence had already been lost.
"What? You want to let my enemy marry into the Prince's Mansion for me?" Liu Qingdai couldn't believe it. Is this still the mother who always loved her?
"Daier, there's nothing I can do. If you don't fulfill your engagement with the Crown Prince, you'll be committing the crime of deceiving the emperor. And you've already lost your innocence. You'll definitely fail the physical examination in the future, and the entire Liu family will be exterminated. Isn't it better to sacrifice you to save the entire Liu family?"
Liu Qingdai didn't care whether she married the Crown Prince or not. She had already lost her innocence, and even if she had to live a secluded life, she wouldn't hesitate. But she absolutely couldn't tolerate her enemy marrying into the Crown Prince's mansion in her place. Even if it was any other concubine from the Shangshu Mansion, she wouldn't hate him.
That day, Liu Qingyu came to see her with a proud look on his face.
"If you want to marry the prince, just tell me and I'll give it to you. Why do you have to plot my innocence?"
"Sister, don't you understand? You are the legitimate daughter of our family and can bring more benefits to the Crown Prince. Only if you die will I have a chance. Who made me look like you?"
Liu Qingdai held the dagger under the dressing table. "Great! If that's the case, let's not live anymore!" She quickly took the dagger and cut Liu Qingyu's neck.
Fortunately, Liu Qingyu sent all her maids and servants away.
When the maids heard the noise, they hurried to report to the master and the mistress.
Liu Qingdai looked at them with a mocking expression. When she was humiliated, none of them came over. Instead, upon hearing the news about Liu Qingyu, they rushed over quickly. It seemed the Liu family cared deeply about the title of Crown Princess.
"Evil creature!" Minister Liu stretched out his hand to slap Liu Qingdai, but when he saw her cold expression with blood all over her face, he suddenly felt a chill in his heart and stopped in fear.
Madam Liu continued to curse, "Rebellious girl! If you want to die, go ahead and do it yourself. You killed Qingyu, how will you marry into the Crown Prince's Mansion in the future? Aren't you afraid that the entire Liu family will be executed?"
"Why should I be afraid? I'm not the only one dying anyway. If we die, we die together!"
"you!"
As he was speaking, a servant came to report that the prince had come to take the eldest daughter to the palace to meet the queen.
"Please help me dress up, mother."
"You! You are no longer innocent. You will definitely need a physical examination when you see the Queen today. Are you sure you can hide this from the world?"
"No. But I have my own way. Mother, please don't delay any longer. Otherwise, if you anger the prince, won't it be the same crime of exterminating the whole family?"
Seeing Liu Qingdai's calm look, Madam Liu thought she had some plans of her own and helped her put on makeup.
The prince had vaguely heard the rumors, and when he saw Liu Qingdai, the first thing he asked was, "Are you still innocent?"
"No"
Prince: How could a woman bring up such a thing directly?
"Your Highness, why are you so angry? You don't like me anyway. You only married me because you wanted Minister Liu's support, so what does it matter whether I'm innocent or not?"
"How dare you! How could I, the crown prince of a great country, marry a fallen woman?"
"Then, Prince, are you innocent?"
"I'm a man, how can I be innocent?"
"You are not innocent, so why do you demand that women be innocent?"
"How can men and women be the same?"
"What's the difference? Isn't that part of the body, just like the mouth, ears, hands and feet? If you say that it has been touched, then I have lost my virginity. Then from childhood to adulthood, my relatives, maids and servants have touched my face, eyes, mouth, hands and feet countless times. I am no longer a virgin. Not only me, but all women in the world are no longer virgins. So, Your Highness, do you still want to marry?"
Liu Qingdai's crazy talk caused the prince to storm out. She didn't care, as she had already planned to kill him. She quietly followed behind the prince, and when he wasn't paying attention, she pulled out the hairpin from her head and, with a leap, stabbed it directly into his aorta.
But the prince was a martial artist after all, so it was not easy to kill him, and he was seriously injured. The emperor was furious and ordered the execution of the entire Liu family.
"I still refuse to accept the fact and haven't killed the prince."
"As you wish!" Sheng Jiang was about to leave when he heard Liu Qingdai say, "Can I take revenge on my own?"
"Of course. I'll let Duoduo accompany you."
……
On this day, Liu Qingdai went out and met the kidnappers.
Liu Qingdai had Duoduo and Liu Qingyu swapped places, meaning that the person in the kidnapper's sack was Liu Qingyu.
"Look at this stuff, how much is it worth?" one of the kidnappers asked the brothel madam.
"200 taels, not bad."
Liu Qingyu had already woken up, her mouth stuffed so she couldn't make a sound. She looked at the madam in horror, shaking her head.
The madam had seen this kind of person many times before and was completely unmoved. "Take him in and discipline him properly."
The boss's tactics were endless, and soon Liu Qingyu compromised.
By the time Madam Liu found her, she had already lost her virginity.
She was the one who was disgraced in this life. She was just a concubine's daughter, and the Shangshu Mansion didn't care at all. They directly ordered her to be drowned in a pond to preserve the reputation of the other female relatives.
"Mother, it must be my sister who harmed me. Father, please help me!"
"Nonsense! My daughter wouldn't even dare to step on an ant to death, how could she possibly harm you? You've done something wrong and brought disgrace upon the Liu family, yet you still dare to bite my daughter? Come on, drag her out and beat her to death!"
"No, it was that bitch Liu Qingdai who harmed me! Because the kidnappers wanted to kidnap her!"
"How do you know?" Madam Liu's face darkened. It wasn't Liu Qingdai who had lost her innocence in this life. She still had some maternal love. As the mistress of the house, she knew the reason after a little thought.
"You colluded with the kidnappers to kidnap my daughter? And then she was mistakenly identified by the kidnappers? You have such a vicious mind."
Madam Liu cried, "Master, thankfully it wasn't our daughter who lost her innocence. She was the Crown Princess appointed by the Emperor! If she had lost her innocence, I'm afraid the entire Liu family would have been executed."
Minister Liu made a prompt decision, "Hurry up and stuff her mouth shut, then beat her to death with sticks!"
Before her death, Liu Qingyu was still in disbelief. She couldn't believe that her father, who had always loved her, had abandoned her like this.
After a while, a servant came to report that the prince had arrived and wanted to take the eldest daughter into the palace.
Liu Qingdai followed him silently. During the conversation with the prince, she saw a flash of murderous intent in his eyes. Although she didn't know where this murderous intent came from.
But it doesn't matter, I'm no longer a weak and helpless girl. I really want to have a good fight with him later and try out the Nine Yin Manual I just learned.
Walking to the rockery in the Imperial Garden, Liu Qingdai suddenly struck out, stabbing the prince in the back of the head. The strike hit him perfectly. The prince fell to the ground, powerless, and a pool of blood formed.
Suddenly I heard a sound behind the rockery.
"Who?"
A graceful woman walked out from behind the rockery and shouted, "Hurry, there's an assassin! The assassin killed the Crown Prince! He's running over there!"
Soon, a group of guards surrounded him. The prince was already dead. Seeing that only the imperial concubine and Liu Qingdai were present, they brought them before the emperor.
The queen's only son died, and she was so angry that she threw a teacup directly at Liu Qingdai's head. When she saw that she dodged it, she became even more furious.
"Don't think that just because you're the Shangshu Mansion's daughter, I can't do anything to you! Tell me! How did the Crown Prince die?"
Before Liu Qingdai could say anything, the Imperial Concubine spoke up, "What's wrong, Her Majesty? I was also at the rockery just now and saw with my own eyes an assassin kill the Crown Prince and then escape. What does this have to do with Miss Liu?"
Liu Qingdai: ...??? Are you helping me? It's hard to die.
What could Liu Qingdai do? She had no choice but to follow the Imperial Concubine's words.
In the end, the assassin was not caught and Liu Qingdai was taken away by the imperial concubine.
"Don't think I don't know. You assassinated the Crown Prince at the Queen's behest. And then you want to put the blame on me.
The Queen is so vicious that she even sacrificed her own son to get rid of me.
It's a pity that despite all my calculations, I never expected you to actually kill the prince! After all, who would want to marry that perverted prince? Hahahaha!"
Liu Qingdai: …? Three question marks in a row. But this seems to make sense.
The Imperial Concubine said lazily and gracefully on the chaise longue, "Now I have the evidence that you can use to assassinate the Crown Prince. If you are willing to obey me, I will not treat you unfairly."
Seeing that Liu Qingdai remained silent, the Imperial Concubine was a little annoyed. "If you are willing to marry my son as his concubine, I will ensure that you have a smooth life from now on."
The imperial concubine's son? That fat guy who weighs nearly 300 pounds? Wouldn't marrying him crush me to death?
Liu Qingdai shook her head, "I don't want to!"
The imperial concubine's eyes suddenly showed murderous intent, "What did you say? Don't be so shameless!"
Liu Qingdai also suddenly felt murderous. Why did everyone want to kill me? When the imperial concubine walked up to her and wanted to pinch her chin, Liu Qingdai directly pierced the imperial concubine's throat with a hairpin.
The maid outside the door heard the noise and ran in quickly, only to see Liu Qingdai casually wiping her hairpin with a handkerchief, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.
The palace maids looked at each other, not daring to move.
It's so scary. The imperial concubine is dead. How many lives do they have to live to go up there?
At this moment, the Empress came and saw the body of the Imperial Concubine lying on the ground, and laughed out loud.
"Haha, hahahaha, concubine, you have come to this day!"
After laughing, he glanced at Liu Qingdai, then turned around and ordered, "The Imperial Concubine sent an assassin to kill the Crown Prince. I found evidence, and now she has committed suicide out of fear of punishment! Do you understand?"
A group of palace servants trembled. "Yes, Queen."
The Queen nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Liu Qingdai and said, "I know that the Imperial Concubine has always wanted her son to be the Crown Prince. That's why she sees the Crown Prince as a thorn in her side and wants to get rid of him as soon as possible.
Now she is dead, but her son is still alive. If you kill her son for me, I will not care about the grudge between you and the Crown Prince.
Liu Qingdai didn't say anything.
The Queen continued, "I know that the Imperial Concubine wants you to marry her son and help him. Given your family background, how could you possibly be interested in that idiot?"
You didn't want to, so the imperial concubine decided to kill you. Unexpectedly, you killed her in the end."
Liu Qingdai: …? Three question marks in a row. It must be said that the women in the palace are quite clever; they can guess pretty close to the truth. But that doesn't mean she's willing to be a pawn in someone else's hands.
Seeing Liu Qingdai remained silent, the Queen said, "I hold the evidence that you murdered the Imperial Concubine. Are you planning to bury the entire Liu Mansion with you by being so disobedient?"
Liu Qingdai raised her head and smiled. Is there such a good thing?
The Queen suddenly felt murderous intent, and at this moment a palace maid reported that the Third Prince had entered the palace.
The Queen is the legitimate mother, so naturally I have to pay my respects to her first.
Of course, the Queen felt that she could not do this in her own palace, as it would be difficult to explain if the Emperor asked about it in the future.
Liu Qingdai didn't think so much.
The Third Prince happened to see her and was furious. "Bitch, how did my mother die?"
"Didn't the Empress say it? The Imperial Concubine committed suicide out of fear of punishment."
"Nonsense! Am I not that kind of person at all? There is absolutely no way I would assassinate the prince!"
"Oh"
The Third Prince heard a simple "oh" and immediately lost his mind in anger. He drew his sword and was about to kill Liu Qingdai. Liu Qingdai instantly flew into the air, took out a hairpin, and stabbed it straight into his forehead.
"stop!"
"Stop!"
"No!"
The queen's three consecutive roars failed to prevent the death of the third prince.
"Bitch! Who told you to kill him?"
"Isn't it you, the Queen?" Liu Qingdai was still holding a handkerchief and wiping her hairpin calmly, as if she was talking about the weather today.
The queen felt a chill in her heart. No matter what, if the Third Prince died, the emperor would definitely blame him. It would be better to take the initiative and kill this bitch first.
Before she could even open her mouth to call for help, Liu Qingdai gave her another hairpin and conferred her a title of nobility. Then Liu Qingdai disguised herself and quickly escaped under the cover of night.
She still has to thank the queen. In order to make it easier for her to do things, she dismissed most of the palace servants, which made it much easier for her to escape from the palace.
It was just that they were in a hurry, so they didn't steal much gold, silver and jewelry. But it didn't matter, the Shangshu Mansion also had a lot of silver.
When Minister Liu and his wife saw Liu Qingdai coming back, they hurried to greet her. They didn't know what had happened in the palace.
"How is it? Is everything going well in the palace?"
"It went smoothly, everything went smoothly."
After a few casual words, Liu Qingdai hurried back to her own courtyard, packed up a large pile of gold and silver jewelry, and put it into Duoduo's space. Then she ran away, leaving Minister Liu and his wife looking at each other in bewilderment.
Before Minister Liu could send anyone to look for him, the eunuchs in the palace brought a group of guards and surrounded the Liu Mansion.
"Liu Qingdai assassinated the Crown Prince, the Imperial Concubine, the Third Prince, and the Empress. The evidence is irrefutable! The Emperor has decreed the extermination of all nine generations of the Liu family!"
Minister Liu and his wife sat down on the ground. How could this be possible?
"How is this impossible?" At the eunuch's command, all the people in the Liu family were taken to the execution ground.
In fact, except for Minister Liu and his wife, the rest were replacements for death row prisoners.
It turned out that when Liu Qingdai was escaping from the palace, she met the emperor. She couldn't help but feel uneasy, wondering if she should kill the emperor as well.
The emperor then said, "The Empress and the Imperial Concubine both come from powerful families. They've leveraged their daughters in the palace to extend their influence into the harem. I've long wanted to get rid of these two, but never found the opportunity. Fortunately, you helped me. What reward do you want?"
Liu Qingdai: …? ? ? Three question marks again.
"I do not want any reward. As long as Minister Liu's mansion is destroyed, that's all that matters. The rest of the Liu family has nothing to do with this matter."
The emperor was delighted and rewarded Liu Qingdai with many gold, silver and jewels. From then on, the sky was high and birds could fly freely, and the sea was wide and fish could swim freely. Liu Qingdai lived a carefree life.
