Unfortunately, they ended up in this situation because Jing Shuo had brought trouble upon them first. The Longevity Palace was not someone to be trifled with either, and they also had to consider Jing Huaixu's intentions.
Empress Dowager Cheng and Consort Cheng could only swallow their anger and try their best to find a skilled doctor to set bones, hoping to cure Jing Shuo as much as possible.
Who would have thought that Jing Shuo would suddenly say he wanted Jing Lu dead? Empress Dowager Cheng became suspicious. Why did he hate Jing Lu so much, but not suspect Jing Yan at all?
Consort Cheng chimed in, "Yes, it must be the Crown Prince."
After drinking the medicine given to him by Jing Yan, Jing Shuo's sense of smell had become weak. He felt that Jing Yan had come up with such a dirty trick to trick him purely so that Yue Jiang could teach him a lesson.
I never intended to kill him.
Jing Shuo didn't believe that he was just unlucky and had an accident.
Only Jing Lu was the one using someone else to do the dirty work.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he said hatefully, "Grandmother, Mother, and my brother want to use the Xuanjia Army to harm me. Isn't he clearly involved? It's Jing Lu."
He firmly believed it was Jing Lu, but at the same time he dared not reveal the reason why he ruled out Jing Yan as the one who harmed him, and the matter of Yue Jiang had to remain a secret in his heart.
Otherwise, I wouldn't be able to explain myself to anyone.
Consort Cheng sat by her son's bedside, wiping away tears. Her words were full of ruthlessness: "Fine, fine, it's Jinglu. Since he likes Zheng Yutong so much, Shuo'er, you wait and see. I will definitely find a chance to make them be together."
In Consort Cheng's mind, the Changshou Palace wanted to support Jinglu, even at the cost of marrying off their daughter, and also prepared Zheng Yutong to go to the East Palace.
She wanted to tie Jing Lu and Zheng Yutong down together, so that Jing Lu would not be able to marry the daughter of an important official, and Zheng Yutong would be unable to enter the Eastern Palace like Cheng Suyun.
This would provide an opportunity to vent one's anger.
Jing Shuo shook his head: "No, I want Jing Lu's life. If he dies, Father will only have my brother and me as his two sons. My brother is the Crown Prince, so it is only natural that he is outstanding. Even if I am a cripple in the future, I will still be the only prince of Jing Kingdom, and no one can laugh at me."
Consort Cheng thought she had thought this far enough, unaware of the depth of her son's hatred. However, she could understand, since a perfectly good leg had been ruined.
Her eyes were filled with tears, and she was heartbroken: "But he is your father's son, how can you just kill him like that?"
"Aunt," Consort Cheng called out to Empress Dowager Cheng with dependence.
"I must have owed you all in my past life," Empress Dowager Cheng said with deep sorrow. She handed the medicine to Jing Shuo: "Drink the medicine first. All the countries will be going to Jing. There are plenty of ways to take advantage of the chaos and get back what we owe you."
“Jing Lu used the Crown Prince’s Palace to harm you, but Grandmother also has ways to use people from the Crown Prince’s Palace to make the Longevity Palace suffer.”
Upon hearing this, Cheng Suyun was startled: "Grandmother, isn't it forbidden to attack the Crown Prince? If you harm His Highness, wouldn't that just benefit the Longevity Palace?"
"Suyun, since your chances of entering the Eastern Palace are slim anyway, don't side with outsiders now," Consort Cheng teased.
***
As the weather gradually cools down, Yuejiang often feels listless, perhaps due to autumn lethargy.
Seeing that her condition was a bit unusual, Granny Ye couldn't help but show more concern: "Crown Princess, you used to be quite lazy. Besides being sleepy, do you have any other symptoms?"
