Chapter 398: Ulterior Motives
Qiao Hui's mouth twitched. Is this what she meant? Obviously not!
However, what Liuli said does make some sense.

I can't be happy just because the Crown Prince's concubine looks a bit like me.

At this time, Concubine Li was in so much pain that she could only lie on the bed and cry until her eyes were red and swollen like peaches.

I originally thought that if I married His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, I would be able to rise to the top and become the envy of all the noble ladies in the capital.

But what she never expected was that she would become the biggest joke!

"Stop crying. You're going to cry until your eyes go blind. What should I do then?"

Mrs. Jia, who came to visit the wife of the Censor, held Concubine Li's hand with heartache.

From childhood to adulthood, Concubine Li has been the apple of the family's eye. She is held in the palm of the hand for fear of dropping her, and held in the mouth for fear of melting her. No one is willing to touch her.

But I didn't expect that as soon as I entered the palace, I was beaten with ten boards and my body was bloody. Who could bear this?

But the person who hit others was His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Concubine Li's husband. She couldn't say anything or scold him. No matter how great the injustice was, she could only swallow it.

"Mom, it hurts!"

Li Fei's eyes were filled with tears. She didn't want to cry! But the burning pain on her buttocks reminded her of the humiliation and injustice she had suffered.

"I just applied some medicine, it will be fine in a while!"

Mrs. Jia had no better solution than to comfort her daughter.

"Look, how could you have forgotten what your mother told you? You must be careful and cautious in the palace, serve the Crown Prince well, and get pregnant with a child as soon as possible. That is the most important thing!"

Concubine Li pursed her lips, thinking that her mother really kept bringing up irrelevant issues.

I was just curious about Jiang Liuli's appearance, so I went to take a look.

No matter how unhappy she was, she did not make things difficult for Jiang Liuli, nor did she use any tricks against her or the baby in her belly.

Who could have thought that disaster would strike so suddenly? As soon as he left, Jiang Liuli suddenly had a miscarriage and fell into a coma?

This is clearly a frame-up by Jiang Liuli!

"Mother, I didn't do anything! I just heard from the palace maid that I looked a bit like Jiang Liuli, so I went to take a look out of curiosity! Who would have thought that an abandoned concubine in the cold palace would be so cunning and actually turn the tables!"

"Of course I believe you! But how can it work if I just believe you?"

Madam Jia held Concubine Li's hand, with a hint of ruthlessness in her eyes.

As the saying goes, it is never too late for a gentleman to take revenge.

She took note of this debt and would repay it double in the future.

"You have to make His Royal Highness the Crown Prince trust you!"

"Your Highness doesn't listen to me at all!"

When mentioning His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Concubine Li felt even more aggrieved.

Everyone else was newlywed, loving each other very much, but who was like her, not only had to stay alone in an empty room all night, but also got beaten.

"He didn't even look at me! Last night, he made me wait in an empty room all night."

"Being married is a lifelong thing, not just one or two days! As long as you can hold the Crown Prince's heart, why would you worry that he won't listen to you in the future?"

Although Mrs. Jia knew that the Crown Prince had gone too far, what could she say?

Right now, the only thing I can do is to comfort my daughter.

"That's easy to say. I don't know what has possessed His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. All he can think about is the girl in the cold palace! My daughter heard that not only was I punished, but even the Crown Princess was confined to her room!"

Thinking of this, Concubine Li felt a little relieved.

Even the Crown Princess was implicated, so what could a new concubine like me do?
"Then how did the Crown Princess become the Crown Princess? Don't you know? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is in a difficult position! You are different. You have been beautiful since you were a child, and everyone loves you! Otherwise, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would not agree to take you as his concubine!"

When talking about her daughter's appearance, Mrs. Jia looked proud and confident.

The more Concubine Li listened, the more she felt something was wrong. Why was she the only one who was curious about Jiang Liuli's appearance?

Her mother didn't seem surprised at all that she and Jiang Liuli looked alike.

"Have you known for a long time that I look like Jiang Liuli?"

"Ah!" Mrs. Jia's flashing eyes said it all.

"Mom, aren't you harming your daughter?"

Concubine Li suddenly realized that it was no wonder that her mother had specially brought her to the palace to attend the birthday banquet before she entered the palace as a concubine.

That was also her first time entering the palace and her first time meeting His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!
"How can this be considered harmful to you? His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes your appearance! If you have a son when the Crown Prince ascends the throne, you will be extremely wealthy!"

Mrs. Jia had a perfect plan.

"Mother, even if His Highness likes this face, isn't there another one in the cold palace?"

Whenever she recalled the way the Crown Prince stared at her face absentmindedly in the bridal chamber, she felt lost.

Perhaps, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was not looking at me at that time.

"What if this is the only photo of you?"

Mrs. Jia said meaningfully.

If one wishes to do a thing well, one must first know how it should be done, and then be fearless and plan slowly and steadily.

"What do you mean it's only mine?"

Concubine Li was a little confused.

"You, just take good care of your injuries, take good care of yourself, and serve His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

Mrs. Jia touched her daughter's hands as white as jade. Such beautiful hands were most suitable for wearing jewelry!
As for those bloody things and shady businesses, let them be left to their parents.

Cold Palace
"Qiaohui, I'm hungry!"

After lying down for a day and taking medicine for a day, Jiang Liuli finally felt much better.

The most obvious feeling is hunger. Suddenly, my appetite increases and I want to eat everything!

"I'll go check the kitchen now!"

Qiaohui, who was originally planning to take a rest, stood up immediately.

"Who?"

The moment she pushed open the door, Qiaohui only saw a dark shadow flash behind the door, which scared her to death.

"Don't shout! It's me!"

The moment before Qiaohui was about to call for help, Beichen Qi knew it ahead of time and covered her mouth.

Qiaohui gasped for breath and patted her heart in shock.

"Your Highness, what are you doing standing here in the middle of the night?"

Even in operas, there has never been a scene of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince eavesdropping!

"What am I doing that requires your attention?"

Fortunately, it was dark at this time, and Qiaohui could not see the Crown Prince's expression in the darkness.

Otherwise, she would definitely see a red-faced prince, like a cooked shrimp.

"The slaves dare not!"

"What does Liuli want to eat?"

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince suddenly changed the subject. Standing at the door, he only vaguely heard Liuli say that she was hungry, but he did not hear the rest of the conversation clearly.

"The queen said she wanted to eat something hot. I'll go to the kitchen and check!"

As for what it is specifically, Liuli doesn't know either, she will just make whatever is in the kitchen.

How could they be so picky when they were in the cold palace?

"Just wait here!"

After saying this, Beichen Qi left in a hurry!
