When the Empress received the message from Prince Jing's men at Fengyi Palace, she thought Prince Jing had gone mad!
It was late at night, and although there was a charcoal fire, it couldn't keep out the biting wind.
Since the Emperor neglected Fengyi Palace, its treatment has deteriorated day by day, and now the charcoal used for heating has become the most ordinary black charcoal.
The Queen rolled up the paper in her hand, closed her eyes, and clenched it tightly, crumpling the paper into a fine crumpled shape.
The last piece was thrown into the charcoal brazier, where flames raged and quickly burned the paper to ashes, disappearing without a trace.
That scoundrel, Prince Jing!
She would never harm her own niece, no matter what. Poisoning the Crown Princess is a capital offense, punishable by beheading if discovered!
Now that the Emperor is so concerned about the Crown Princess, if something happens to her, the culprit could potentially be executed along with their entire family.
I have worked so hard to bring my mother clan to its current position, I can't let it be destroyed by a moment of impulsiveness.
The Jiang family... the Jiang family absolutely cannot be harmed!
But--
Once a person has an idea, it's not so easy to dispel it.
On the other hand, the Empress also thought, what if they simply can't find out the truth?
With the influence he had cultivated in the palace over the years, as well as the influence of Prince Jing and Prince He, as long as they helped cover it up, the matter might not be able to be investigated.
Wuyou was able to gain the favor and trust of King Jing because of such merits.
In the memory of her dream, Prince Jing was the one who ultimately ascended the throne, and Wuyou was able to stand openly beside the new emperor and become the new empress!
It's even possible that the Jiang family could seize this opportunity and rise to the position of the most powerful family after the emperor!
Now that I'm useless, am I just going to watch the Jiang family gradually decline?
The merit of following the emperor's lead—what an immense achievement!
and--
What's most satisfying is that that vile woman, Liu, is finally going to die!
The poison is colorless and odorless; just a tiny amount is enough to cause a person to bleed from all seven orifices, leaving no chance of survival.
The more the Empress thought about it, the more sense it made. A hint of madness even appeared on her face, as if she could already see the Crown Princess's tragic end.
As soon as Jiang Mama saw the Empress's expression, she knew that the Empress had something on her mind.
As the Empress's confidante, she naturally wouldn't be kept in the dark about such things, and thus she also learned of Prince Jing's plans.
In Jiang's eyes, Prince Jing was deliberately harming his own mistress!
However, looking at her mistress's slightly smiling eyes, Granny Jiang couldn't bring herself to say any words of comfort.
How long has it been since Her Majesty was this happy...?
"Granny, go and send a message home—"
Before Granny Jiang could even speak, the Empress could no longer remain seated.
It is said that the Empress is naturally elegant and has an extraordinary demeanor; one could even say that she is the person behind the scenes who sits firmly in control.
But in reality—
Those were built with countless treasures and riches; once those are gone, the Empress will not be able to maintain her position.
Even though Prince Jing had only expressed his intention to cooperate, the Empress didn't hesitate at all and wanted to inform the Jiang family directly.
Knowing that if she didn't persuade them now, it could lead to the destruction of the entire Jiang family, Granny Jiang disregarded everything else and directly offered her advice.
"Your Majesty, please don't act rashly. Perhaps there's a better way. If you drag Miss Wuyou into this, what if the truth comes out—"
"Even if we were to do this, it doesn't necessarily have to be Miss Wuyou who does it. Prince Jing surely has capable people on his side. Why don't we talk to him again?"
