Guide to Failing as a Full-Level Green Tea-Chapter 40 - The Child Wasnt Saved

Xiao Fu was still a bit nervous as she supported Shen Roujia. “Your Highness, let’s follow her.”

Shen Roujia looked at the maid with clear eyes. “Lead the way.”

Since she hadn’t seen the maid before, Shen Roujia assumed she was just someone working at the hot springs.

However, the further they walked, the more wrong the direction seemed.

Just as Shen Roujia was about to stop, she heard the sound of an argument.

“Calm down!”

It was Rong Shuyao’s voice.

Then came Consort Jia’s panicked and nervous voice, “She did it on purpose! Why are you looking for the Crown Princess instead of solving my problem?”

Shen Roujia frowned and immediately halted.

The maid leading her noticed and turned back to grab Shen Roujia. “Your Highness, please follow me.”

Rong Shuyao heard the commotion and strode over. “Ah, the problem solver is here.”

Xiao Fu shouted, “What are you doing? How dare you!”

Rong Shuyao waved her hand, and two old maids stepped forward to restrain Xiao Fu.

Shen Roujia’s peripheral vision caught a glimpse of someone lying on the ground—it was none other than Consort Shu, writhing in pain and on the verge of fainting. The hot spring pool was stained red.

Shen Roujia, shocked, looked at Rong Shuyao. “What have you done?”

Rong Shuyao’s smile was cold. “Shen Roujia, this time, you’re finished.”

Consort Jia finally came to her senses, looking from Rong Shuyao to Shen Roujia, and her expression softened.

Gritting her teeth, Shen Roujia spun and kicked the two maids holding Xiao Fu.

Xiao Fu lunged and bit one of them.

“Ah! Crazy woman!”

The maid screamed and knocked over several vases nearby.

Shen Roujia pulled Xiao Fu close and whispered in her ear, “Go find Gu Zhi, quickly!”

Xiao Fu stared at Shen Roujia in disbelief. “But what about you…”

Shen Roujia frowned and shoved Xiao Fu away. “Go now!”

Rong Shuyao, furious, kicked the maids. “Stop her! Don’t let her get away!”

Shen Roujia glared coldly. “Rong Shuyao! This time, you’re courting death.”

Rong Shuyao’s heart trembled. “Still talking big when you’re about to die.”

She waved her hand. “Send word to the palace. The Crown Princess has been apprehended for plotting against the royal heir.”

Shen Roujia glanced at the barely conscious Consort Shu and muttered to herself, “So, this is the choice you made.”

Due to the gravity of the situation, the matter at Little Sparrow Forest was kept well-hidden, without alerting the noblewomen.

The group from the royal city quietly returned.

Shen Roujia, her wrists bound, was thrown into a prison cell.

She waited until dusk when someone finally came to summon her.

“Crown Princess, please come with me.”

Shen Roujia recognized the palace maid. She was Su Wen, the head maid serving the emperor, who had often delivered summons before.

“Su Wen, may I ask how Consort Shu is doing now?”

Su Wen sighed. “Consort Shu is out of danger, but the child wasn’t saved…”

Shen Roujia didn’t show much emotion, only nodding slowly, as if everything was within her expectations.

“Does His Highness know?”

Su Wen paused and nodded. “You will know when you see him.”

Shen Roujia smiled bitterly. “No need to be so polite to me, Su Wen. I’ve already fallen from grace.”

Su Wen immediately shook her head. “No, although I don’t know the full story, I knew from the moment I first met you that you are kind and benevolent.”

“I’ve been in the palace for decades, and I have a good eye for people. Your Highness, I believe in you, and His Highness will believe in you too.”
