Chapter 927: Chapter 927: All Schemes Come to Nothing
The Crown Prince was deposed, and with that, the Crown Princess Consort’s game also went to waste.
Originally, an agreement had been made with the old Emperor to support King Jing, but now, the newlywed Wang Consort had committed a serious crime and her life was at stake, not to mention King Jing had already lost the ability to have children. Even if the Wang Family’s daughter entered King Jing’s residence, she could no longer bear children to secure a position.
King Jing became the Crown Prince and was in the spotlight for a time, yet had to remain secluded at home due to his health.
The Wang Family held military power, and their patriarch had been stationed in the North for a long time, so they were not at the risk of annihilation. However, the incident regarding the Wang Consort was reported back to the Wang Family, and the head of the family was utterly disgraced.
At King Jing’s residence, Ye Jiu still felt it was all like a joke.
This Wang Consort had come with such intensity, yet in just one night, she was nullified?
Whether she believed it or not, that was indeed the reality.
After King Jing returned, the old Emperor had the Wang Consort taken away, but it was just transferring her from one prison to another.
Through interrogation, the reason why the Wang Consort drugged King Jing was revealed to be laughable.
The Wang Consort was merely afraid that even if drugged, King Jing would refuse to touch her. So, she used ’Spring Scattering’ on him and took the antidote herself; only by coupling with her could the drug’s effects be nullified, or it would lead to death.
The Wang Consort did not desire King Jing’s death; she only wanted his person. Unexpectedly, something went wrong with the drug. Although everything seemed to be going according to her plan—King Jing left after being with her—the effects should have been counteracted, yet it ended up like this!
The Wang Consort herself was perplexed. As for how she obtained the ’Spring Scattering,’ it was rumored she purchased it at a high price from people of the martial world, but they could no longer be found. Thus, the burden had to be borne by Wang Consort alone.
In a dark alley, the disheveled Wang Consort was taken to an empty house, where someone had been waiting.
After entering, Wang Consort saw the familiar figure: "Was it you who saved me?"
"Who else would care about your life or death besides me?" the man in black said.
The Wang Consort smiled bitterly, "What’s the point of living? The plan has failed, and I can no longer seek revenge."
"Wrong," the man in black said coldly, "The plan is just another beginning!"
"What do you mean?" Wang Consort asked bewildered.
The man in black slowly approached and naturally placed his hand on the Wang Consort’s abdomen, "Are you sure, King Jing touched you that day?"
Though he did touch her, the effects of the drug on King Jing hadn’t been nullified, which is why he was doubtful.
And the Wang Consort, feeling deeply humiliated, replied, "He touched me."
"Very well," the man in black smirked sinisterly, "Hide for a month. After more than a month, when Princess Changfu celebrates her birthday, we’ll present King Jing’s residence a grand gift."
What the man in black referred to was something they had planned for a long time, but the Wang Consort couldn’t help worrying, "We only had that one time, there might not be a child in my belly, and even if there is, what if it belongs to that man..."
They both knew that the man Wang Consort referred to was King Jing.
At this moment, they were engrossed in their schemes yet overlooked the most crucial detail: was the man who touched her that night really King Jing?
