Capítulo 891: Chapter 891: Drugged
Of course, Ye Jiu and the Princess Consort of Jing did not know the true thoughts of the Prince of Jing at this moment, otherwise, they might have laughed their teeth off.
When the Prince of Jing finally calmed down, he couldn’t help but look at the Princess Consort of Jing, only to find that she was looking at Ye Jiu with tears in her eyes.
“What’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell somewhere again?” the Prince of Jing immediately asked.
Having just learned that the Princess Consort was drugged, the Prince of Jing was feeling very sorry for her at this moment. Naturally, he couldn’t bear to see the Princess Consort with tearful eyes, as if she had suffered a great grievance.
However, the Princess Consort suddenly laughed, looking at Ye Jiu happily, “Jiujiu called me mother, Jiujiu called me mother…”
Does this mean that Jiujiu has already forgiven her?
The Prince of Jing was dissatisfied, “Is this the main point? Didn’t you hear what the girl said about the medicine you were drugged with?”
The Princess Consort of Jing wiped away the tears she had just shed uncontrollably, and said: “The things I did back then, the Buddha saw it all. I am unfit to be a mother; this is the punishment Buddha has given me. I have to bear it.”
The Prince of Jing: “…” Damn it, what punishment.
Did this woman even listen clearly, the girl said she was drugged, how did her mind suddenly jump to the punishment from Buddha?
Ye Jiu was speechless as well, and could only sigh in his heart that the holy place of the Buddhist Sect is indeed a good place to be brainwashed into being a good person.
As they left the room, the Princess Consort was still lying inside. The Prince of Jing asked Ye Jiu, “What medicine was your mother given, is there an antidote?”
After the Prince of Jing finished his question, Ye Jiu gave him a strange look, making his face turn red.
“I’m just thinking about her health; every medicine has its side effects. Moreover, when it’s this sort of treacherous medicine, having an antidote would be even better.” The Prince of Jing said righteously.
Ye Jiu answered, “There is, the antidote has already been mixed into the medicines she takes.”
At the New Year’s Eve banquet, Ye Jiu saw the Crown Princess Consort again, her appearance destined to be disliked, which also predetermined the animosity between them.
Regarding the sterilization medicine incident, the Prince of Jing took a few days but eventually found out the truth.
The one who administered the medicine was a maid from the residence, who originally belonged to the Princess Consort’s courtyard but was transferred elsewhere after the Princess Consort left the Royal Residence to pray at the temple.
The mastermind was Lady Mo, a woman who had been dead for several years, making it impossible to interrogate her. However, the Prince of Jing discovered that Lady Mo had connections with the Crown Prince Residence during her lifetime.
As a wife of an official, Lady Mo naturally wouldn’t have met the Crown Prince personally, so the Crown Princess Consort played a significant role as the intermediary.
Similarly, this incident also made the Prince of Jing even more disappointed in the Crown Prince.
He just couldn’t understand. Though he had not achieved much previously, he was still the Crown Prince’s biological brother and had the financial support of the Liu Family, which was quite a big help. If the Crown Prince was doing other things, it would have been easier to forgive, even if he was targeting him.
However, he chose to strike at his offspring, what exactly is he trying to do?
Jiujiu being replaced, he could still use the prophecy of Lucky Star as an excuse, fearing her existence threatened the Crown Prince’s position. But drugging the Princess Consort with sterilization medicine, which within ordinary families is extremely treacherous, let alone the Royal Residence of Jing.
It’s well understood that the greatest reliance for a woman in her lifetime is not a man but her sons; women who can bear children are the ones most valued by their husband’s family.
Moreover, the Crown Prince was well aware that Qin Zhou was not the biological child of the Princess Consort!
