She is the Side Character! — Watch Her Change her fate!

Chapter 424: Chapter 423: Dying for the Princess Is Your Honor 43

Why?

The three people’s expressions were not very good. They couldn’t understand why Song Chen was targeting their Cui Family.

Could it be a grudge? Did she feel the Cui Family didn’t treat her well enough?

But didn’t father and mother say that treating her too well might attract the attention of schemers? How could she not understand the good intentions of father and mother?

Even so, the family has never treated her harshly, nor has she lacked food and clothing.

Though father and mother are not her biological parents, they’ve raised her for more than ten years. There is some debt of gratitude for nurturing, and surviving until now is thanks to father and mother. If she hadn’t come to the Cui Family, she would have been sent to Bei Qi early and might not have come back alive.

”I want to find Song Chen.” Cui Chen stepped forward to rush outside, but Cui Zhao grabbed him, ”Brother, let go of me. I need to find Song Chen and ask if she has no heart, if she thinks that being the Crown Princess means she can dispose of guiltless courtiers at will. She is Crown Princess and will be Emperor one day. Isn’t this behavior of a tyrant? If Nan Qi is truly handed over to her, it will be doomed.”

”Who does she think she is? Does she think she can do what Canglan Country’s Empress does? No, she’ll never compare. She should recognize reality. What does she count as? If it were not for Your Majesty’s favor, she couldn’t even become a princess, let alone Crown Princess.”

”Your Majesty is good in every way, except being too indulgent toward Song Chen.”

Cui Zhao pulled Cui Chen back, ”Don’t rush, if you go and say these things, you’ll be guilty of disrespect. Listen to what mother has to say.”

Mother called them all back, evidently having something to say. It seems things are not so simple.

Usually, mother would not talk about these matters with them. Maybe father had some instructions before entering the palace?

”Chen’er, sit down first, don’t rush out,” Ning Family said. ”Before going to the palace, the master has already arranged, Nan Qi is now in great crisis, we must follow the master’s plan.”

She swept past the three of them, her gaze finally resting on Cui Jing.

”Your Majesty’s appointment of the Crown Princess was absolutely not intentional. Your Majesty and Lady Li were both deceived, bewitched by the Crown Princess,” Ning Family said. ”Now to save your father, and to save the whole of Nan Qi, we can only find a way to overthrow her.”

The three were shocked. Was Your Majesty enchanted?

Could Song Chen truly have such skills?

She was so favored by Your Majesty, yet she still found ways to enchant Your Majesty. It’s truly unscrupulous, wanting to become Emperor, her ambition is too great!

”But how can we overthrow her?” Cui Zhao asked. ”The whole court doesn’t feel Your Majesty is bewitched. Who would believe this? Like father, who might have said these words after meeting Your Majesty and wasn’t able to come out, who would dare refute? And how are father and mother certain that Your Majesty is enchanted?”

Ning Family took a deep breath and said, ”Actually, it’s simple to overthrow her.”

As the three waited, she closed her eyes, her heart battling between heaven and earth. Thinking of the master and the whole Cui Family, she reopened her eyes and said, ”Just expose her true identity, and her Crown Princess identity will naturally become useless.”

True identity?

Cui Chen and Cui Jing were somewhat puzzled. What true identity?

The consistently calm and smart Cui Zhao reacted suddenly, his face shocked. He had always been unclear about the matters concerning his sister and Ninth Princess, but too many things happened later, and he didn’t think carefully.

Now hearing mother mention this; the previously unclear places suddenly cleared up.

Could it be that... Song Chen is actually not the true princess, but Jing’er is?

Only this truth would render Song Chen’s identity as Crown Princess ineffective.

”Actually, Jing’er is the real Ninth Princess.” Now that things had come this far, Ning Family didn’t delay, revealing the secret hidden within her heart for years. At the same time, this was akin to sending her true daughter to her death. Once the matter was over, there was no escaping death for Chenchen.

Upon speaking, Cui Chen and Cui Jing were stunned. What?

Cui Zhao had already suspected as much, showing an understanding expression. So it really is as he thought, his feelings complex at this moment.

Cui Jing was dazed for a moment, realizing she was the real Ninth Princess? That Song Chen had always occupied her identity? The other party acquired the Ninth Princess’s identity and was still not satisfied, planning to enchant the father and mother, aiming to ascend the throne. Truly a great ambition.

Cui Chen was stunned for quite a while. So Jing’er is the Ninth Princess?

”Now we must announce this news, unite all the ministers and imperial family members, inform them of this matter, and try to rescue Your Majesty and Lady Li,” Ning Family said. ”Regardless if they are conscious, according to the master, as long as they don’t fall into Chenchen’s hands, everything will be manageable.”

Cui Jing returned from bewilderment, saying, ”Earlier I saw her return to the manor, not staying in the Imperial Palace.”

”Mother, she probably doesn’t know this matter, right?” Cui Zhao asked.

Ning Family sighed, ”How could such things be told to her? If she knew, could we still be sitting here talking?”

Would have long been captured by the other party, based on Chenchen’s character, she wouldn’t let them off easily, and wouldn’t tolerate the truth once revealed.

Cui Zhao breathed a sigh of relief, that’s good.

No matter how complex the feelings inside, the primary matter now is to follow father’s instructions and overthrow the Crown Princess first.

”Mother, let’s do as father instructed, be careful not to let anyone notice anything wrong, otherwise it will be troublesome.”

Ning Family nodded. The master mentioned this: ”That’s the master’s intention, and he said this matter should be arranged by you, the eldest.”

Cui Zhao immediately took on this task, then discussed how to notify others.

As for whether the ministers and imperial family members believe this, they should believe. Ning Family has evidence, the Cui Family would not joke about such things. The current appointment of the Crown Princess by Your Majesty is indeed abrupt, not to his usual behavior. Plus, they are dissatisfied with the Crown Princess, overthrowing her is best. They are participants, with the Cui Family members as organizers. When Your Majesty really blames, impossible to punish everyone, this matter must be done.

As the family was about to get busy, Cui Chen suddenly spoke: ”So Song Chen is my biological sister, and she has always been replacing Jing’er, going to Bei Qi to suffer, is that right?”

Upon knowing this truth, he suddenly recalled what Song Chen had said to him, and what he had said to Song Chen. Without that conversation, he might not have thought much. Now these words kept flashing repeatedly in his mind, seeing everyone naturally wanting to overthrow the Crown Princess, he suddenly fell into confusion.

”At this moment, what’s the use of thinking so much? Her actions are treacherous, heart unrighteous. If you don’t overthrow her, Nan Qi will fall into deep trouble. Do you wish to see more people suffering?” Cui Zhao said.

Cui Chen replied, ”Brother, don’t you feel something was wrong from the start?”

He cursed Song Chen for using her princess identity as a pretext to let Jing’er suffer.

Little did he know, she was actually replacing Jing’er, the true princess.

It is so ironic.

”That was a helpless move,” Cui Zhao said. ”Second Brother, now isn’t the time to discuss these matters. If we don’t overthrow her, do you think we will have good days? Do you want to watch the entire Cui Family go to their deaths?”

Cui Chen opened his mouth but didn’t know what to say.

”Second Brother, let’s first handle the immediate matter. Later I’ll plead with the father to spare her life.” Cui Jing said, clenching her hands tightly, unexpectedly facing such a reaction from the brother who had always protected her.
