The Physicist Wife Who Overturned The World Novel - Chapter 650

650 The Truth About the Poisoning

Ye Jiushang sat on the main seat and took a sip of tea before saying coldly, “Speak.”

Heilong opened his mouth after receiving the order. “The poison was administered by Her Highness the Consort Dowager herself. She switched the Empress’s poison and feigned ignorance. Apart from Her Highness the Consort Dowager, her personal maid, Fuling, also knows about this. Her Highness the Consort Dowager likes Fuling. Especially in recent years, she almost treated her as her own daughter.”

Heilong paused and glanced at Xue Fanxin before continuing, “Fuling is interested in Master and often revealed her feelings to Her Highness the Consort Dowager. She even said that she was willing to be a concubine. Her Highness the Consort Dowager knew the purpose of the Empress poisoning her, so she beat her at her own game and used the same method to lure Master out so that she could make Fuling happy.”

“The truth is not far from my guess. Reduce the number of people protecting the Consort Dowager. Send her a message as well: if there is a next time, I will withdraw everyone.” Ye Jiushang gave a cold order, his tone carrying a hint of anger.

!!
Although the Consort Dowager had taken care of him, it did not mean that she could scheme against him.

In terms of status, the Consort Dowager had to call him Young Master. Perhaps because she had lived a life of comfort for too long, she had forgotten her identity.

Xue Fanxin heard their conversation and understood what had happened. Initially, she was thinking about how to build a good relationship with that Consort Dowager Jing, but it seemed like there was no need.

The Empress was helping Yu Yuefu, but how could Consort Dowager Jing not have her own pick?

They had already decided on the Ninth Imperial Consort they liked. How could they fancy her?

However, this Consort Dowager Jing did not know Ah Jiu well enough. She was going to suffer greatly.

“Xin’er, while I’m sleeping, you don’t have to worry about Consort Dowager Jing summoning you. If she goes overboard, someone will naturally deal with her. You just have to cultivate every day and be happy.” Ye Jiushang helped Xue Fanxin tidy her slightly messy hair.

“Don’t worry. I’ll take care of myself. Did you know that Consort Jing poisoned herself?”

“Something like that. Consort Dowager Jing took care of me and she has been quite good to me over the years, so I treated her as family. Not only did I give her the best, but I also ordered people to protect her openly and secretly. With them around, even the Empress can’t easily poison her unless she poisons herself.”

He was sincere to Consort Dowager Jing. Unfortunately, she had disappointed him.

From now on, he would no longer care about the life and death of Consort Dowager Jing. Anyone who schemed against him, even if they were his benefactor, shouldn’t expect his benevolence.

Furthermore, Consort Dowager Jing was his mother’s personal maid. If not for them, she would still be a low-level servant. How could she have become the noble Consort Dowager Jing?

There was no need for him to care about such an ungrateful woman. Besides, everything he had done for her over the years was enough to repay her.

He had grown up from a baby. The person who had provided him with protection when he was at his weakest was not Consort Dowager Jing but the late emperor.

Without him, he would have died countless times. Consort Dowager Jing only took care of him under the late emperor’s orders.
