Chapter 753 Princess's Revenge 1
"Princess, my cousin and I are truly in love. If the princess hadn't fallen in love with me and asked the emperor to arrange a marriage for us, I wouldn't have separated from my cousin, causing her to have to marry far away."
"Now that my cousin has lost her husband, she has no one to rely on except me. If the princess truly loves me, she should agree to my taking my cousin as my concubine."
"But don't worry, Princess. My cousin will not live in the Princess's residence. I will arrange for her to live in Cui's residence and will definitely not let her get in the way of the Princess."
Jiang Chunxi looked at the arrogant man in front of her, and a sneer appeared on the corner of her mouth: "The prince consort of this dynasty is not allowed to take concubines, don't you know that, prince consort?"
"Of course I know," Cui Junyu said sarcastically, "but if the princess really loves me and goes to beg the emperor, I think the emperor will not blame me. After all, it is well known that the emperor favors the princess. As long as the princess asks the emperor for help, there is nothing the emperor will not allow."
"Princess," Cui Junyu looked at Jiang Chunxi angrily, "You caused me to lose the person I loved, and now you want to make me and my cousin separated? If you really want to do this, I will hate you even more, and you will never dream of getting even a little bit of my love in your life."
"Princess," Dai Yinyin, the cousin Cui Junyu was talking about, knelt on the ground, her eyes tearing up, she looked so weak, "Please help me and Cui Lang! I promise you, as long as Princess is willing to help me and Cui Lang, I will never fight with you in the future."
"Woo woo! As long as I can get a name, I will be satisfied. I will stay in Cui Mansion obediently in the future and will never compete with the princess for Cui Lang's favor. The princess has also suffered the pain of being loved but not getting it. I think the princess should be able to understand the difficulties between Cui Lang and me. I beg the princess to help me and Cui Lang because we are in the same boat!"
"After all, it's better for one person to suffer than for three people to suffer. The princess loves Cui Lang so much, can she bear to watch Cui Lang lose his love and live in pain for the rest of his life?"
Dai Yinyin dared to speak to the princess like this, of course it was Cui Junyu who gave her the confidence, and Cui Junyu dared to humiliate the princess, of course it was the original owner who gave Cui Junyu the confidence.
Cui Junyu was the son of the Minister of War. He won the top spot in the imperial examination at the age of seventeen and was also known as the most handsome man in the capital.
The original owner was the emperor's most beloved princess. The previous queen died of heavy bleeding when giving birth to her daughter, so the emperor treated her like a treasure.
After all, the late queen was not only the emperor's original wife, but also his beloved. Therefore, the emperor held the daughter left by his wife in his hands for fear of dropping her, and held her in his mouth for fear of melting her. He also raised the original owner to be willful and savage, and to appear innocent.
However, although the original owner was willful and capricious, she was not a bad person by nature. She fell in love with Cui Junyu at first sight, but she did not take him by force. Instead, she asked her father to ask the Cui family first to see if Cui Junyu was willing to be her consort.
The Cui family would naturally be willing to have their son become the consort of the emperor's favorite princess, even if he would not be able to serve as an official in the court. However, the Cui family is not willing to give up this incredible wealth and sacrifice a son for the benefit of the entire family. Isn't it obvious what choice to make?
What's more, Cui Junyu was only the second son in the family, not the eldest son, so regardless of Cui Junyu's wishes, he agreed to the emperor's marriage on his behalf.
Then he quickly arranged a marriage for Dai Yinyin and married her to Jiangnan. When Cui Junyu found out that the emperor would marry her to the princess, he started shouting that the person he loved was Dai Yinyin and he would not marry anyone else in his life. It was absolutely impossible for him to marry the princess.
This was too much. Naturally, the Cui family quickly arranged for Dai Yinyin to get married. They did not kill Dai Yinyin directly. They were completely afraid that if they went too far, Cui Junyu would become desperate and do something extreme.
In fact, even if Cui Junyu was not favored by the princess, the Cui family would never agree to Cui Junyu marrying Dai Yinyin. After all, Dai Yinyin was just an orphan whose parents had both passed away, and she was the orphan of a distant relative of Old Lady Cui. At the beginning, Old Lady Cui felt sorry for Dai Yinyin, so she was moved with compassion and kept her in the Cui Mansion to raise her.
Although Dai Yinyin did have some abilities and could make Old Madam Cui love her very much, it was simply wishful thinking for Dai Yinyin to marry Cui Junyu through Old Madam Cui.
The original owner was happy to marry Cui Junyu, but Cui Junyu was always cold to her. When the original owner wanted to get clarification, Cui Junyu said that she was overthinking it, and then showed her some tenderness, which made the original owner worried and anxious, and also made her mentally controlled by Cui Junyu.
Therefore, although Cui Junyu became a son-in-law of the emperor, he was still able to serve as an official in the court. This was naturally requested by the original owner to the emperor. The emperor had always doted on this daughter, so he would naturally not refuse his daughter's request and made an exception to allow Cui Junyu, the son-in-law of the emperor, to serve as an official in the court.
This naturally caused dissatisfaction among all the officials in the court. After all, there was a law that said the son-in-law of the emperor was not allowed to be an official. If this precedent was set, there would probably be endless troubles!
But who is the emperor? The current emperor is not an incompetent emperor, but an emperor who has concentrated power and has the final say. No matter who opposes what he wants to do, it will be useless.
And because of this incident, Cui Junyu and the Cui family felt that they had the original princess under their control. Not only did Cui Junyu not take the original owner seriously, but even the Cui family did not take the original princess seriously.
In the original owner's previous life, the original owner was naturally controlled by Cui Junyu again, and actually asked the emperor to let Cui Junyu take Dai Yinyin as his concubine.
There was indeed a concept of concubines in the court, but no prominent family would allow anyone in the family to take a concubine, as this would deliberately slap the original wife in the face. So when the original owner went to beg the emperor, naturally he was very angry.
But the original owner happened to be the emperor's most beloved daughter. It could be said that the original owner was the emperor's only weakness. Therefore, when his daughter threatened to commit suicide to force the emperor to agree to this matter, the emperor had no choice but to compromise.
This incident also made the original owner a laughing stock in the entire capital. Of course, everyone only dared to laugh at the original owner behind her back, but did not dare to laugh at the original owner, a favored princess, in person.
It was also through this incident that Cui Junyu and the Cui family increasingly looked down upon the original owner. After Cui Junyu married Dai Yinyin as he wished, he spent most of his time every month in the Cui Mansion and only stayed in the Princess Mansion for a few days a month. If it were not for the purpose of firmly controlling the original owner, Cui Junyu would probably never set foot in the Princess Mansion again.
Later, the emperor suddenly fell seriously ill and died soon after. The original owner's backer also fell, and the third prince ascended the throne.
Cui Junyu was too lazy to continue acting with the original owner, so he directly asked someone to give the original owner a chronic poison. Before the original owner died, he killed the original owner and told him that the emperor was actually poisoned and the mastermind behind it was the third prince.
The poison was given to the emperor through the hands of the original owner, because the Cui family had secretly defected to the third prince long ago. Therefore, after the third prince was named crown prince, Cui Junyu used the hands of the original owner to poison the emperor.
