Transmigrator Meets Reincarnator

Chapter 335: Hidden Tempest

As for what they had experienced before, and who they had been in the past, those didn't matter anymore. The most important thing was that they were now married to each other and they would be together from now on, and even blessed with the crystallisation of their love.

Chu Lian didn't care about what He Changdi had done to Muxiang. Ever since she had heard from him personally about the end he had come to in his past life, the end that she hadn't read about in the novel, she felt like she could empathise with him more. As much as He Changdi looked like a vicious and merciless person who solved things with force in other people's eyes, in her heart, he was the best husband she could ever have.

After August had passed and the autumn winds were blowing, Second Prince was finally stripped of his title and thrown into the imperial jail. Consort Liang was also banished into the cold palace, where disgraced concubines languished for a short time till their deaths.

Despite these misfortunes, Prince Jin never spoke a single word to help lift the blame from Second Prince and Consort Liang.

Before Consort Liang had hanged herself in the cold palace, she had met with Prince Jin one last time. Only then did she find out that Prince Jin already knew the truth behind how she had killed Consort Xian.

Following closely after the news that the successor to the throne had been deposed, rumours spread of the emperor being in ill health. The fight for the throne in court became even more intense. The battles that were being fought in secret had now shifted to the open.

In court, it was Fourth Prince and Sixth Prince whose factions were the largest.

Chu Lian's pregnancy had already progressed to its seventh month. She and He Changdi had already decided together that she would not leave the estate until the little fellow in her belly was born.

For some reason, Sima Hui had already taken her troops with her back to Shandong at the end of August.

Chu Lian's usual guests at the Anyuan Estate were Royal Princess Duanjia, Lady Yang, Old Duchess Zheng and other nobility in her circle.

Finally, when it was mid September, it had come time for House Ying's Eighth Miss Chu Yuan to marry Royal Prince Shou.

Their match had been made by the emperor himself, so they were preparing a grand celebration of it.

Even though she had received House Ying's red invitation to the wedding, Chu Lian didn't attend. She only stayed at home and rested. When evening fell and it was about time for dinner, Royal Princess Duanjia came running over excitedly.

Chu Lian watched in stunned amazement as Royal Princess Duanjia came up to her in blaze, took up the cup of fruit tea she had just drunk from, and downed it in one gulp.

"Princess?"

Royal Princess Duanjia sat right down next to Chu Lian after drinking her tea. She hugged one of Chu Lian's arms with sparkling eyes as she said, "Hahaha! Chu Liu, I bet you don't know what happened at the Ying Estate today!"

The two of them were now as close as sisters. Royal Princess Duanjia knew what Chu Lian had been through in the past.

Ever since she had almost fallen into a trap, courtesy of House Ying's second branch, Chu Lian had secretly broken ties with House Ying. Thus, she hadn't gone to attend the wedding today. Otherwise, as the older sister of the bride, she was supposed to be present and offer her congratulations.

Chu Lian found her question funny, "What else could happen? Chu Yuan got married!"

Royal Princess Duanjia didn't like House Ying's petty and small-minded conduct in the first place. After becoming good friends with Chu Lian, she felt even more disgusted by House Ying.
