Demoting my wife to a concubine? After being reborn, I turned around and married into the imperial f

Chen Lianxin looked completely innocent.

Nangong Qing looked completely indifferent, only occasionally revealing a hint of guilt to Nangong Xingyuan.

Day two.

Nangong Xingyuan's body temperature dropped.

Everyone finally breathed a sigh of relief.

After noon, Nangong Xingyuan, who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling, finally opened her eyes.

"Father."

She spotted Nangong Yue beside her at a glance, and a look of grievance appeared on her face.

"It's alright, Yuanyuan, it's alright."

Nangong Yue hugged Nangong Xingyuan tightly.

This is his brother's bloodline.

His gaze sharpened as he coldly looked at Nangong Qing and asked, "Aunt, can you explain why the people I sent to protect Nangong Xingyuan were all kept out of the Heavenly Sect?"

Nangong Qing's face was grim, but she still forced herself to say, "Yue'er, your aunt also feels guilty about this. But Tianzong is a first-rate power after all, and Tianzong does not allow unauthorized personnel to enter. There's nothing your aunt can do."

Nangong Yue gave a cold laugh and said with a smirk, "You won't let my people into the Heavenly Sect, but you deliberately brought Nangong Xingyuan in. Aunt, are you deliberately making things difficult for Xingyuan?"

Nangong Qing's face turned deathly pale, and he waved his hands repeatedly: "My aunt is too busy wishing for her to have anything better to do. How could she deliberately torment her?"

Nangong Yue hugged Nangong Xingyuan and asked softly, "Yuanyuan, tell Daddy, who did this to you?"

Suddenly, Nangong Xingyuan screamed, clutching her head and crying out, "Father, it hurts, Yuanyuan is in pain!"

"It's okay, Yuanyuan, don't think about it." Nangong Yue gently patted Nangong Xingyuan's back and said softly.

Chen Lianxin looked at Nangong Xingyuan and said, "Yuanyuan, tell your aunt, who hurt you?"

Upon seeing Chen Lianxin, Nangong Xingyuan turned her head away.

Chen Lianxin's face turned ashen.

All the kindness I showed her in the past has been wasted.

Suddenly, Nangong Yue's voice rang out: "Aunt, you are moving out of the palace today."

Nangong Qing's face trembled.

Chen Lianxin's expression changed drastically.

"You want to kick us out?" Nangong Qing's voice rose, and he shouted in disbelief.

"I have already purchased a mansion next to the palace. My aunt and cousin should move in today."

Chen Lianxin frowned.

Her cousin didn't like her to begin with, and if she moved away, she would have even less hope of marrying him.

"Cousin, I know I was wrong. But back then, I was just begging the sect leader for the ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus. I wanted to save you. You can't be so heartless as to make me move away."

Nangong Yue said expressionlessly, "Cousin, your cousin will find you a suitable husband in the future. You can keep this ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus for yourself."

Upon hearing this, Chen Lianxin stared intently at Nangong Yue.

She cried out in disbelief, "Cousin, this is a ten-thousand-year snow lotus. A snow lotus that only bears fruit once every ten thousand years. Are you sure you don't want it? If you take the ten-thousand-year snow lotus in a specific way, you have a chance of being cured. Xingyuan's incident was an accident. Nobody wanted it. If you're angry, I'll go to the Heavenly Sect immediately and ask Master to thoroughly investigate this matter."

"Under no circumstances shall you reside in the palace any longer. Moreover, you are merely moving to the neighboring residence, not elsewhere, and I will still be able to take care of you. You are not permitted to take my children out of the palace even once."

Nangong Qing said helplessly, "Now that things have come to this, I have no choice but to tell the truth. Yue'er, if I tell the truth, please don't drive me and Lianxin away, okay?"

"No."

Nangong Qing gave a bitter laugh: "Lianxin is innocent. She knows nothing at all. You promised your uncle you would take good care of her. It's all my fault. I entrusted Nangong Xingyuan to the disciples of the Heavenly Sect. They weren't valued by the sect leader, their minds became twisted, and they took their anger out on Xingyuan. It's all because I didn't take good care of her; it's my fault. Why don't you let Lianxin stay in the Prince's Mansion?"

Chu Xunzhen spoke up: "Xingyuan's injuries occurred at inconsistent times. In other words, she was injured by more than one person. Since Madam Nangong is unwilling to speak, then I, the Princess Consort, will have to go to the Heavenly Sect myself and ask the Sect Master for an explanation."

As Chu Xunzhen finished speaking, Nangong Xingchen, who had been standing helplessly to the side, suddenly brightened up.

Nangong Xinghe nodded vigorously, his chubby head looking at Chu Xunzhen with excitement.

"Aunt, why don't you move to the mansion next door today? As for Lianxin, she can move there too. You can still request an audience with me, and I will take care of you."

With a thud, Chen Lianxin knelt on the ground.

"Cousin, please don't send my aunt and me away, for the sake of the time I treated your injuries. We really didn't mean to. If possible, I'm willing to use the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus to heal Xingyuan."

As soon as Chen Lianxin spoke, the old physician Li, who had just entered, narrowed his eyes: "Is this true? If there really is a ten-thousand-year-old snow lotus, perhaps it can remove the scars on Miss Xingyuan's body."

"Really, I do. I love Star Wish the most."

"Cousin, keep the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus. It is a sacred object of the Heavenly Sect. As for Star Wish, I will find a way."

After saying that, Nangong Yue hugged Nangong Xingyuan, pulled Chu Xunzhen along, and walked outside.

Nangong Qing was puzzled.

She wanted to chase after them to question them, but Anshun had already blocked their way.

She called out to their retreating figures, "Cousin, where are you going?"

"Heavenly Sect".

Tianzong.

Enveloped in mist, its entrance is elusive and uncertain.

At this moment, Nangong Yue, carrying Nangong Xingyuan and pulling Chu Xunzhen along, arrived at the gate of the Heavenly Sect.

Without a word, Nangong Yue waved her hand, and Anshun stepped out from behind her.

Behind Anshun were twenty imperial eunuchs.

Each of them exuded a fierce aura.

"You dare to insult my daughter? Do you think I'm made of clay? Heavenly Sect, you have fifteen minutes to hand over the person who insulted my daughter. Otherwise, the entire Heavenly Sect will be wiped out."

As Nangong Yue finished speaking, the soldiers behind her began to assemble.

Hundreds and thousands of soldiers stood in orderly rows.

Chu Xunzhen looked at Nangong Yue beside her, her heart trembling.

Nangong Xingyuan is not his biological daughter, yet he is willing to stand up for her like this, which is truly admirable.

"He's gone mad! He's gone mad! The foolish prince has led his soldiers to attack the Heavenly Sect."

"Like an ant trying to shake a tree, it's futile. The Heavenly Sect is full of people who understand the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams; even if many people go, what difference will it make?"

"He's not just stupid, he's insane! I heard his daughter was bullied at the Heavenly Sect."

......

Tens of thousands of soldiers surrounded Tianzong.

Nangong Qing said worriedly, "Yue'er, don't do that, otherwise the sect leader will be furious, and you may not live past tomorrow."

Chen Lianxin chimed in, "Yes. The sect leader is merciful. Knowing I needed the Ten-Thousand-Year Snow Lotus to save you, he gave it to Lianxin without hesitation. Cousin, all of this is because of the black sheep of the Heavenly Sect."

Upon hearing this, Chu Xunzhen looked at the two and asked, "Why do you two know so much? How come you knew nothing when we asked you about this at the manor?"

Nangong Qing's face was grim.

Chu Xunzhen curled her lips and said, "You were thinking of making a big deal out of a small one, and a small deal out of a big one, right? Chen Lianxin, you can't even treat the prince's child well, do you deserve to be his wife?"

Chen Lianxin's expression was quite interesting; her face was both white and pale.

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect has emerged.

He was dressed in white, wearing a white mask with a black feather stuck across it.

She has a slender and tall figure.

"Ninth Prince, why do you come to my Heavenly Sect to cause trouble?" His voice was ethereal and profound.

"Hand over the murderer who harmed my daughter, Nangong Xingyuan, or I will raze the Tianzong to the ground today."

Upon hearing this, everyone looked at Nangong Xingyuan, who was wrapped up like a rice dumpling in the Ninth Prince's arms.

"Such a young child, harmed by the people of the Heavenly Sect?"

"Isn't the Heavenly Sect supposed to be a reputable and righteous sect? How could they harm children?"

"Isn't the Heavenly Sect a bit too shady?"

.......

A murmur arose from the crowd.

The Heavenly Sect Master's voice rang out: "Ninth Prince, please calm down. If it was truly the work of one of our disciples, I will not tolerate it. But if it is a frame-up, the Heavenly Sect will fight this villain to the death."

Nangong Qing's face turned deathly pale.

Nangong Yue's voice rang out: "I'll give you fifteen minutes."

The disciples of Tianzong looked at the soldiers surrounding the mountain gate with cold expressions.

One of the disciples said, "Sect Master, our Heavenly Sect is detached from worldly affairs. How could anyone harm a child who is just over a year old like this? It must be the imperial court that deliberately sent this to catch us off guard."

The Sect Master of the Heavenly Sect raised his right hand, put two fingers together, and shook them: "Impossible. Have the Grand Elder send someone to investigate."

Less than fifteen minutes.

Two women dressed in the robes of Tianzong disciples were kicked to the ground.

"Sect Master, it was these two disciples who were jealous of the Holy Maiden and harmed the young princess."

The sect leader of the Heavenly Sect took the evidence from the Grand Elder and glanced at it.

The next instant, his gaze turned cold, and he drew his longsword from his waist.

The two women were so frightened that they knelt down and begged for mercy.

Chen Lianxin was terrified.

The ethereal voice of the Heavenly Sect Master echoed: "Ninth Prince, this sinner is here. Tell your men to leave."

"Anshun, do these two match their identities?"

"Yes, it has been confirmed that it is these two women."

Chu Xunzhen looked at the two women and said, "Why did you hurt a little girl who is just over a year old?"

The two women knelt on the ground and said, "Chen Lianxin holds a high position in the Heavenly Sect, and we are dissatisfied with her. So we wanted to take revenge on her."

Suddenly, Nangong Qing's gaze turned cold and fierce. He raised his long sword and roared, "It's you two vile women who caused the little princess to suffer such serious injuries. I'll kill you both!"

Chu Xunzhen's gaze sharpened, and he raised the dagger in his hand to block Nangong Qing's longsword.

Chu Xunzhen stared intently at Nangong Qing and asked, "Madam Nangong, why are you in such a hurry? We haven't even started the interrogation yet!"

Nangong Qing's face darkened, and she snorted coldly, "I was just too worried. I'm too angry."

The two women were pale and trembling with fear.

"Is that so? I thought you were going to kill me to cover your tracks."

Upon hearing this, Nangong Qing stared intently at Chu Xunzhen and said, "What nonsense are you spouting?"

"Your Highness, we must interrogate these two women thoroughly. Ask them where they injured Xingyuan, and whether the marks on her body match."

As Chu Xunzhen finished speaking, Nangong Qing's face turned ashen.

She was actually suspected?
