"The new king's consort has committed murder! The new king's consort has committed murder!"
The alleged murderer, Qin Sang, who was flailing about in the water a few moments ago, had turned into a powerless new bride in the blink of an eye. She was even accused of murder!
"You jealous woman! You couldn't even tolerate a mere escort, so much so that you murdered her and stained the wedding room with blood. I, the seventh prince, will not tolerate this!" In the main hall, the proud, arrogant man looked down at Qin Sang from his throne.
The dragon-phoenix candles in the hall emitted a dim yellow light, which barely outlined the man's handsome facial features.
Qin Sang, who was still confused, thought to herself, "He's such a good-looking man, but he doesn't seem friendly to me."
The seventh prince, Yi Shuihan, glared at the woman who was being apprehended on the ground by the guards with a befuddled expression. He narrowed his eyes as he boiled with rage.
Qin Sang trembled when she saw the cold, fierce look in his eyes. "Oh my god, did I kill his whole family or steal his treasures?"
Yi Shuihan's lips opened slightly and he sneered, "Feilong, take this obnoxious woman to Shuntian Manor. I must bear witness to her imprisonment."
"Yes, sir!"
Before Qin Sang could figure out what was going on, she was dragged away and locked up in the dungeon of Shuntian Manor. She was even beaten severely by the prison guards who wore wicked smiles as they tortured her.
Qin Sang tried to lay on the dungeon floor, her body covered in wounds. She could not keep her body steady. Before her butt touched the ground, she felt a sharp pain.
She quickly supported herself against the wall and barely managed to regain her balance. Just as she was about to take a breath and think about where she was, the cell door was kicked open.
Yi Shuihan was the first to enter her cell, followed by Liang Xin, a prefect. He had a flattering look on his face. "Your Highness, I'll investigate the murder of the new consort and bring the evidence to you. I will never let Liu Yanniang die from injustice!"
"Great!"
The corners of Yi Shuihan's lips curled into a smile of desperate revenge. He glared at Qin Sang with his dark, monotonous eyes. It seemed that he was trying to hold in his overwhelming anger. "Greedy woman, you've ruined my reputation. The evidence is conclusive. Stay here and await your execution!"
Qin Sang also had a fiery temper. Although she did not know where she had traveled to and what crime the original owner of her body had committed, she would not allow herself to be reprimanded by this hateful man. She stared into Yi Shuihan's cold eyes and retorted, "As a prince, you bullied a woman aggressively. Aren't you ashamed of yourself?"
Before she finished her words, Yi Shuihan's narrowed his eyes at her. He turned and said to Mr. Liang, "Monitor her. You don't have to be nice to her."
As the cane landed on her body, Qin Sang's will kept her sane. She refused to confess to a crime she had not committed. However, she could not take any more hits and fainted after a few strikes.
In the middle of the night, Qin Sang woke up from the intense pain. Looking at her badly wounded body, many memories that did not belong to her came flowing into her mind.
These were the memories of the original owner of the body.
The original Qin Sang was the second young lady of the Zhou Kingdom's Prime Minister Manor. She was twenty-eight years old and her name was Qin Sang. Coincidentally, they shared the same name.
Originally, she was the most favored legitimate daughter of the Prime Minister Manor. However, her fate played tricks on her. She fell in love with the abominable Seventh Prince, Yi Shuihan.
A year ago, Yi Shuihan and Qin Sang's sister, Qin Yue, had fallen in love with each other. No matter how the original Qin Sang tried to come between them, the Seventh Prince and Qin Yue did not doubt each other's love, and the jealous original owner was occupied with her own evil thoughts.
The day before the Seventh Prince made up his mind to marry Qin Yue, the original Qin Sang had invited Qin Yue to the lake. She planned to take a boat to the center of the lake so that they would be able to enjoy the scenery. "Our last opportunity to spend time together before you get married," Qin Sang reasoned with a menacing smile.
