"A first-rank imperial consort..."
Gu Yurong was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter, looking like a madwoman.
"The entire Song family has lost everything, yet you have become a first-rank imperial consort. What an injustice this world is!"
You're wrong.
Jiang Wan said calmly.
"The law of cause and effect in this world is very fair; otherwise, I wouldn't be standing here today."
Gu Yurong gritted her teeth in resentment, her eyes fierce, like a savage beast.
But now, the beast had lost its claws and teeth, its bones were broken, and all that remained was a helpless rage.
"You once said I was crazy."
Jiang Wan spoke, her voice calm and completely flat.
"Now, you are more like it."
Gu Yurong gasped for breath, glaring fiercely at Jiang Wan.
She didn't remember saying those words, but that didn't matter anymore.
As Jiang Wan approached with a lantern, she shrank back into the corner in fear.
"What do you want to do? I warn you, His Majesty's decree sentences me to exile. Even if you are a first-rank noblewoman, you cannot take a life so lightly. Otherwise, you will be guilty of murder!"
"What are you doing? Don't come any closer! Stay away from me!"
When Jiang Wan approached, she was so frightened that she screamed.
"Help! Help! A first-rank imperial consort is trying to kill someone!"
Seeing this, the jailer whispered to Jiang Wan from behind, "Madam, please be careful. This madwoman has the plague, which is contagious."
Upon hearing this, Gu Yurong suddenly seemed to remember something and shouted at Jiang Wan.
"Yes, yes, I have the plague! Come over if you're not afraid of dying!"
She said, brandishing her teeth and claws.
"On the road to the underworld, it'll be worth it to drag you, you wretch, down with me!"
No matter how crazy she became, Jiang Wan simply observed her quietly before asking, "What about Song Lin? Did he also contract the plague?"
The jailer replied, "That's right. The two were originally locked up together, but the plague spread rapidly, and their symptoms were exactly the same. After the imperial physician examined them, he moved Song Lin to another cell."
"What are the symptoms?" Jiang Wan asked.
The jailer thought for a moment and answered each question.
Seeing that Jiang Wan had inquired in such detail, Gu Yurong's face showed a hint of panic. She pounced on Jiang Wan fiercely, trying to scare her away.
"There's no need to perform anymore."
Jiang Wan's words froze her in place.
"You don't have the plague at all."
