Allure of a Country Maiden

Chapter 1251: Chapter 1248_1 Chapter 1251: Chapter 1248_1 The twelfth month of the year, the weather was exceptionally cold, and it even started to rain recently!

After discussing with everyone, Shangguan Xuanyi decided to mobilize the troops on the eighth day of the twelfth lunar month.

Since Shangguan Ruixi did not return to the Imperial Capital, before Shangguan Xuanyi sent out the troops, he dispatched Feng Sheng to secretly escort Princess Ling’er and Shangguan Wanru back to the Imperial Capital.

To prevent any mishaps, Xiao’er helped both of them apply make-up so well that they were unrecognizable to the average person.

When Xiao’er heard that Shangguan Ruixi had arrived, she harshly berated Shangguan Wanru and even slapped her twice.

Shangguan Wanru cried non-stop and after waking up the next day, she stopped talking completely!

Perhaps the shock was too much for her.

Hence, she was constantly submerged in her thoughts, refusing to respond to anyone who tried to converse with her.

Xiao’er knew that she was unable to overcome the mental hurdle but hoped that she would sober up and repent, as there were still many people in the world who loved her.

However, who really knew what fate awaited her once she returned to the Imperial Capital?

The person who had stolen their battle plans and provisions was her.

Even if they could forgive her, the ministers of the Imperial Court and the soldiers would not!

Even though Prince An had already surrendered his fiefdom as compensation, compensation did not mean punishment could be avoided!

As for Princess Ling’er’s child, after her return, Princess Ling’er, not knowing how to care for a child, accidentally suffocated her.

The next day, the child was no more.

Brought to tears by this tragic event, Princess Ling’er became somewhat deranged.
