Chapter 924: Who’s the Unluckiest?
On the other side, the Prince’s concubine had already enjoyed a night of passion and then drifted into a dream.
Unfortunately, the Prince left without saying a word after finishing, without a trace of longing.
However, none of this mattered. All she needed was a reason to be pregnant, not the Prince’s favor!
Just as she was sleeping soundly, a group of people suddenly burst into her room and began to manhandle her.
After the recent passionate encounter, the concubine was already exhausted, and since the Prince had already left, she didn’t bother to tidy up, so when she was dragged out of the bed, she was still in a state of disarray.
Even her clothes were merely draped on her by a servant.
When this woman was thrown into the dungeon, her mind was still bewildered.
Clearly, everything was fine when the Prince left, but why was she suddenly imprisoned?
Could it be because of her drugging him and he bore a grudge?
But she herself was the antidote, sleeping with her meant he was fine, and when he left he didn’t seem like he wanted to punish her, so what’s going on now?
No matter how hard the concubine thought, she likely couldn’t guess that the person the Prince slept with was not her. The one who slept with her was merely a Hidden Guard who would live his life in anonymity.
After Ye Jiu returned, she re-entered the space and found there was a message from Luo Ranran she hadn’t looked at yet.
After sending her own payment, Ye Jiu asked, "What’s with this drug?"
Immediately, a whole bunch of explanations from Luo Ranran was sent over, "This drug is potent, but different from ordinary ones. According to tests, the antidote should be placed within a certain person, and when the two have intercourse, the drug’s effects are canceled. Conversely, if one does not have intercourse with the person holding the antidote, the drug’s effects not only won’t be canceled but will be activated and become more severe..."
Seeing this, Ye Jiu understood what was going on with the drug.
The only person who could have drugged the Prince was the concubine who just entered today; she couldn’t think of any other suspect.
But she believed that after this incident, the Prince himself would deal with the concubine’s matter.
Ye Jiu guessed correctly. Early the next morning, the nanny who came from the palace went back and reported the incidents at the Royal Residence.
At that time, the old Emperor was furious and urgently summoned the Prince to the palace.
Although he personally granted the marriage, the next day, the concubine was locked in the Royal Residence’s dungeon, which was evidently like defecating on his head.
He wasn’t even the Crown Prince yet, but already so presumptuous. What would happen if he really became Crown Prince?
The Prince was also ruthless, directly having himself lifted onto a carriage and into the palace.
The old Emperor was full of anger, but when he saw the Prince being carried in, all his fury was stifled, "Fourth son, what is going on with you?"
If it was an act from the Prince, the pale, bloodless face couldn’t fool anyone, even the lips were black and purple, and the once handsome face suddenly looked several years older.
With this appearance, the old Emperor almost thought someone had swapped his son.
The Prince was still very weak, and hoarsely said, "My condition, I must extend my thanks to Father Emperor’s granted marriage."
The sarcastic tone was unmistakably accusatory, yet it made the old Emperor feel bitter.
The fourth son had always been a reckless child from a young age, when had he ever been this vulnerable?
This was the first time he saw this, so he felt only heartache and didn’t care about the Prince’s disrespect.
