Natural Idol Who Traveled Through Time × Bickering Poison Ivy from Another Time 26

Although Prince Yuling was dead, his princess consort still had some face as his widow, probably because General Xi was about to return to Luodu and everyone feared him, and thus also gave Jiang Yuchao, the widow, some respect.

Jiang Yuchao first went to the home of Physician Yang. If this person had a problem, it would be difficult for his family to hide it. Sure enough, under her questioning, Physician Yang's wife showed a guilty and panicked expression.

"I... I really don't know anything." When pressed, the woman just cried, shaking her head and unable to say anything, looking pitiful.

Jiang Yuchao gave a cold laugh, not bothering to make things difficult for her, and directly turned to leave.

Since she knew that someone must be causing trouble, even if she couldn't get an answer, slowly investigating would eventually expose the culprit. She then went to the prison, having sought permission from the emperor for this visit. She stayed in the prison for almost a day, repeatedly asking the doctors many questions, learning from their accounts that Physician Yang had behaved abnormally during this period, but unfortunately she still could not discover who the instigator was.

When she was about to leave the prison, someone called out to her. It was Princess Nasha, who was also imprisoned. However, Princess Nasha was no longer as stunningly beautiful and aloof as before.

Dressed in dirty clothes, she shouted to her, "I know, I know who wants to harm you! As long as you can get me out, I'll tell you!"

Jiang Yuchao's heart stirred, but her face showed no hint of it. She walked to the front of Princess Nasha's cell and looked at her, "Do you think I will agree to save you just based on this one sentence?"

Princess Nasha tightly gripped the cell bars, "I really do know!"

Jiang Yuchao: "I won't easily believe you unless you reveal more credible information."

Princess Nasha considered for a moment and said, "On the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival, I saw that Physician Yang coming out of someone's residence with a frightened expression. I remember it very clearly."

Jiang Yuchao nodded, said nothing more, and turned to leave. Princess Nasha shouted after her, "Believe me, as long as you save me, I'll tell you who that person is!"

As soon as Jiang Yuchao left the prison, she immediately found someone and instructed them to inquire about Princess Nasha's whereabouts on and after the Dragon Boat Festival. Since that Physician Yang wanted to do bad things, his movements must have been very secretive and difficult to investigate.

But Princess Nasha was different. She was a beautiful princess from the Bie tribe, so her movements in Luodu were very eye-catching. Where she went and what she did would be easier to find out.

Since the matter could be investigated through other means, why would she make such a losing deal?

"Focus on investigating the area around Prince Yu's residence to see if Princess Nasha appeared nearby before and after the Dragon Boat Festival." Jiang Yuchao already had a guess in her heart, but had not yet confirmed it.

Before long, someone came back to report.

"Princess Nasha was indeed seen at Prince Yu's residence on the second day of the Dragon Boat Festival. It seemed that she was angered in Prince Yu's residence and cursed for a long time after returning to the inn."

"Prince Yu." Jiang Yuchao suddenly laughed. "It really is him."

You Wu, the captain of the guard, had been running around with her these past few days. At this moment, he was also very angry and wished he could go kill Prince Yu, who had plotted to kill his master, but a prince was not someone he could touch.

"Princess Consort, we must find evidence and inform His Majesty of this matter, asking His Majesty to punish Prince Yu for his crimes!" You Wu said through gritted teeth.

Jiang Yuchao shook her head and laughed coldly, "Of course not. Even if this matter is told to the emperor, the emperor will not kill his own son for the sake of a dead prince. If Prince Yu does not die, no punishment can quench the hatred in my heart."

You Wu did not expect the princess consort to say such words and asked in a daze, "Then... what does the Princess Consort intend to do?"

Jiang Yuchao did not hesitate, "Of course I want to kill him directly. It's just that I can't do it alone. You Wu, do you dare to help me?"

You Wu clenched his fists, not caring at all, "What is there to be afraid of? Back then, when I was so down and out and bullied by others, the prince personally promoted me and ensured that I could live in peace for so long. Now it's time for me to repay him. Besides, it's just killing someone. I've been on the battlefield before, it's not the first time I've killed."

He just didn't expect that the princess consort, who looked like a gentle and weak woman, could talk about killing without even blinking.

"Good. In a couple of days, those princes will all come to pay their respects. At that time, I will lure Prince Yu to my hall. You wait there first." Jiang Yuchao's expression was strange. "Also, remember to bring the things your team usually uses to castrate dogs."

Prince Yuling's dog castration team was just those guards who had nothing to do and were bored out of their minds.

You Wu: "???"

Prince Yu did not yet know that he had been exposed. Even if he knew, he would not feel anything. Without the protection of Prince Yuling, what could little Xiao Jinyue do? If she was a little smarter, she should learn to face reality and make compromises.

He had countless worlds and had seen so many female leads. When they lost their support, they were all equally weak. Most of their weapons were just tears.

Prince Yu was fearless. When he went to the Prince Yuling's manor to pay his respects and saw Jiang Yuchao dressed in plain white, she was indeed humble and pitiful, no longer sharp-tongued as before, making him feel extremely happy.

He deliberately waited on the side. Seeing Jiang Yuchao get up to rest, he followed and stopped her in a secluded place.

"Now that Prince Yuling is dead, have you thought about what to do in the future?" Prince Yu admired her complexion, appearing deeply affectionate. "Although we have had unpleasantness in the past, I do like you. Now I am still willing to accept you. What do you say, are you willing to return to my side?"

Jiang Yuchao hesitated for a moment, looked left and right, "There are many people here; it's inconvenient, and we'll be seen. Let's talk somewhere else."

Seeing her lead him to the bedchamber, Prince Yu smiled smugly. It was just as he expected.

He also had no intention of avoiding anything and boldly followed Jiang Yuchao into the hall, even taking the initiative to close the hall door. The hall was quiet. Jiang Yuchao turned to look at him. Although her appearance was only delicate, wearing this mourning attire really had a bit of charm.

"What, are you preparing to please me now?" Prince Yu sat in the seat of honor and teased. But his smile faded the next moment as several tall men jumped out from behind the screen.

They were well-trained and quickly subdued him. One covered his mouth, while the others tied his hands and feet. The last one kicked him hard to the ground.

"Peh, what a scoundrel, how dare you talk to our princess consort like that? Today, we'll send you to meet our prince and have you apologize to him in person!" You Wu said, kicking him again.

Prince Yu saw Jiang Yuchao's white linen shoes stop in front of his eyes. She squatted down, the timidity and humility from earlier gone from her face.

"Physician Yang's wife told me that you instructed Physician Yang to do something underhanded, causing the death of my prince, is that right?"

Prince Yu's eyes darkened. Yang Dongling, that incompetent fool, actually told his stupid wife about such an important matter!

Seeing his reaction, Jiang Yuchao was completely certain.

"Good, you killed the person most important to me, so I want your life in return. But that's not enough. Before you die, you will first watch as you lose the things most important to you. Consider it interest for making my prince suffer through illness and pain for so long." After saying that, she stepped back and watched coldly.

Prince Yu never imagined she would be so bold. He struggled, wanting to speak, but with his mouth covered, he could only mumble a few words: "If... discovered... you'll die too... all of you... mmph!"

You Wu heavily punched him in the face. "Peh, stop talking nonsense."

Jiang Yuchao: "Guess if I'm afraid of death or not?"

Prince Yu's expression was grim. He wasn't afraid of death either, because to him, it wasn't true death, just that this world had evidently failed again, which was what infuriated him the most.

You Wu brought out the castration tools. Jiang Yuchao fiddled with the items and said to Prince Yu: "Your eyes seem to say you're not afraid of death. I wonder if you're afraid of being castrated?"

Prince Yu's expression slowly changed. He was furious beyond belief and struggled so hard he nearly threw off two or three men.

Jiang Yuchao: "You Wu, do it."

...

He had possessed countless worlds where everything went his way without exception. Each of his identities had been one of high status and great authority, and he had never been offended by anyone. He never imagined there would be such a day.

When the intense pain reached his brain and he personally witnessed his manly pride being cut off, his eyes nearly popped out of their sockets.

"Xiao Jinyue! I want... I want to kill you!! Ahhhh!"

Amidst such boundless rage, he met his death. The last thing he saw was the cold smile on Jiang Yuchao's face.

......

He left the identity of 'Prince Yu' and returned to his main space. The collapse here was already extremely severe, a scene of desolation with only a few tottering worlds remaining, everything reminding him that he wasn't far from true 'death'.

Perhaps it was due to the halo around him peeling away bit by bit as those worlds were lost, but he slowly began to break away from the image and will of a 'god' and started to feel fear. He finally remembered that he wasn't some 'god'. Before becoming this 'god', he was also human.

Only knowing how to seize fortune, after losing the blessing of that fortune, he was nothing - only now did he truly understand this principle.

He didn't make a sound for a long time. The Greening System started to find it strange. Such a thing happened to him before his death in the previous world, yet now he wasn't angrily shouting and screaming like before. Could it be he had truly learned his lesson?

- "Ding - Do you want to take a look at the ending of the female lead in the previous world?"

"Speak."

- "Ding - After Prince Yu's death, the emperor was enraged. The female lead stepped forward alone to take the blame and committed suicide."

"Go to the next world."

......

Jiang Yuchao experienced a death. When she woke up, she found herself lying safely in bed. Outside the window were the hustle and bustle of traffic, towering buildings everywhere, the familiar clamor of the modern world all around.
