Chapter 6
Chapter 6 — I am the Crown Prince Concubine to the Queen Mother
I immediately shouted:
"Your Majesty, please save me! The Crown Prince has killed someone!!"
I swear, since I came out of my mother's womb, I have never screamed so loudly. The Crown Prince ran over panting, preparing to kick me away. The door of Tai Chi Palace creaked open. The prince quickly withdrew his foot. An old eunuch stepped out, and the Crown Prince immediately explained:
"To Cong Cong, this woman is a concubine of the Binh Ninh Marquis, with a cunning nature. Just now, she couldn't seduce her, and was planning to slander her and harm her."
To Cong Cong looked calm:
"Your Highness does not need to explain to this old slave. Your Majesty has an invitation."
Finally, I breathed a sigh of relief and entered the temple. Kneeling on the ground, I presented all the evidence I had collected over the past time:
"Your Majesty, what I said is true. Your Highness the Crown Prince has been possessed by another world's soul and is crazily killing the time-traveling woman!"
“The previous Crown Princess did not commit blasphemy at all — but after handing over all her knowledge, she was murdered.”
"She's not even the first. The Crown Prince once lost the people at the age of ten and brought a girl back to his palace. Now human skin is still stuck on the window!"
The emperor finished looking at the evidence, his face was as black as ink:
“Prince, what do you have left to say?”
The prince knelt down with a thud and bowed his head repeatedly:
"Father, please forgive me! I'm really not a strange soul. I grew up with you since I was a child. If there was a change, wouldn't you notice it?"
The emperor did not waver at all:
“So what happened to the women who died in the Eastern Palace?”
The prince broke out in cold sweat:
"Damn it! Someone won't let me touch it, saying I have to wait for the wedding room to be blessed."
"And that female doctor, it's even more outrageous! Forcing me after my coronation to reform the institution, abolish royal power, create a constitution, and drag a whole bunch of people in to supervise me! How can I stand it?"
"Furthermore... Tan Nhu Y also knows about strange souls, proving that she is also a time traveler! How could such a disaster exist!"
My heart is pounding. Right. Once the truth is exposed, our identity cannot be hidden.
"The goddess indeed has memories that do not belong to this world. But that's why I discovered that the Crown Prince had his soul switched."
“I hope your Majesty will judge wisely!”
I bang my head like a bell and drum.

The air in the main hall seemed to be completely drained. The prince was trembling, and I was not comfortable either. The Emperor pondered for a long time, then finally spoke:
"Prince, do you accept that those strange women died in your hands? Accept that you are no longer my flesh and blood?"
The crown prince rolled over to the dragon's foot and hugged the emperor's thigh tightly:
"Father, I know I'm wrong! I don't dare anymore!"
My eyes are wet. Finally… finally the tables were turned. Many of those time-traveling girls... can also be saved. Pop! The Emperor raised his leg and kicked straight, the Crown Prince rolled down the steps, struggling unbearably.
“Great job!”
I haven't even had time to say thank you. The whole person was frozen on the spot. I couldn't believe what I just heard. The Emperor stepped in front of me, looked from head to toe, clicked his tongue and nodded:
"Otherworlders... Good. Very good! Truly different from those women who only know how to take exams and draw. Dare to think, dare to do!"
"It's just a shame, I went through the wrong door."
He grabbed my chin and lifted it up forcefully:
“Let me tell you, the Crown Prince is the Crown Prince! No soul enters."
Then he waved his hand and threw me away. My whole body felt weak and I fell to the ground. They… they all know. They're on the same side! The Emperor lamented softly:
“Since the time of Thai Tong, strange women like you have begun to appear in our court. Their mouths are full of 'equality', 'monogamy'..."
“Ridiculous! The emperor is the true dragon of heaven, the kingship is given by heaven! How can I be on par with the untouchables?”
“It's just... those women are really talented. Know how to build dikes, improve weapons, and even lead troops to fight."
“Thai Tong had no choice but to use the so-called 'sincere love' to win his heart. If you trick the technique, then... everything will be poisoned and destroyed."
“You shameless thing!”
I screamed, my eyes red:
“After you take advantage of them, kill them all, it's better than being an animal!”
The emperor smiled calmly:
“Technology can be robbed, but ideology cannot. If I let you all stay, have children to continue the family, and then teach the prince those thoughts of national chaos, what will this country still have?”
“That's why Thai Tong left behind a secret edict. Generations of emperors must search for a woman to travel through time, gain her power, then kill her entire family, protecting the country for ten thousand years!”
“The crown prince was hasty, revealing loopholes. That's good, by the way, I'll let you show up too."
“Where are you? Tan Nhu Y, concubine of Binh Ninh Marquis, attempted to harm the royal family, be beheaded immediately!”

Done. It's all done. Right now my mind is completely blank. I didn't expect that the mastermind was the emperor, and I was stupid enough to denounce him. Is it different from a moth rushing into a fire? Oh! The electric door opened. I closed my eyes in despair, waiting for death to strike. But a familiar voice rang out in my ear:
“Nhu Y, don't be afraid! Dad is here to save you!”
I turned my head to look - it was my father, the usual rough guy, now bringing the veterans under his command and rushing straight into the Tai Chi Palace!
“Very good, Binh Ninh Marquis dares to rebel! Where is Ngu Lam Quan? Arrest!”
A melee broke out immediately. My father threw me out of the siege and shouted loudly:
“Go find your mother, leave the city quickly!”
I didn't hesitate at all, immediately ran towards the royal garden. The mother saw me and understood something. I pulled three people and ran away.
“Nhu Y, wait! The declared Crown Princess seems… not the right person?”
I look back. Certainly not true. Whether it's the main room, the side room, or the concubine room - no one is a time-traveling woman. That's right. As feudal rulers, how could they tolerate strange women? Concubines in the harem, of course, must be selected from women who have been educated according to feudal customs.
“Don't worry anymore, let's run!”
There was help in the palace, so the escape was quite smooth. Getting on the carriage, the four of us hurriedly left the city. All my heavy luggage was left behind, I only brought along checks and a little gold and silver. But — just the weight of the four of us, is already a heavy burden…
