Chapter 922: Substitution at 922
Before letting go, the concubine slightly teased with her hand, whether intentionally or not.
Immediately, the Prince rushed out of the room.
Yet he did not notice the smile that emerged on the peach blossom-like face of the concubine as he dashed out.
She reached out to touch her own belly. For today, to avenge the Royal Residence, she betrayed even her own purity. She would make everyone in the Royal Residence pay the price, or else, how could she justify her sacrifices?
However, the drug, Spring Scattering, was indeed strong. She was barely holding on herself.
Still, she believed the Prince wouldn’t last long either; he was bound to return.
Gently biting her red lip, allure growing, the concubine exuded infinite charm.
After opening the door, the cold night breeze brought the Prince back to his senses.
Earlier, he almost lost control, but fortunately, his willpower was strong enough.
He made a gesture towards the dark, and a man dressed in black appeared swiftly in front of the Prince. The Prince, however, was busy removing his outer robe, throwing it to the man in black, "The woman inside is yours. Tomorrow someone from the palace will come to verify."
With one sentence, he sealed the concubine’s tragic fate.
The man in black calmly took off his own garment, put on the Prince’s robe, and did some adjustments to his face, then entered the new room.
In just a moment, intoxicating sounds emanated from inside.
Meanwhile, the Prince hurriedly entered the main courtyard.
At that moment, the Princess Consort was just lying down, filled with heartache, when someone suddenly burst in through the window, pinning her down.
Terrified, the Princess Consort tried to call for help, only to have her mouth covered by the intruder’s hand.
"It’s me..." The familiar voice calmed the bewildered Princess Consort, causing her to cease her struggle.
At midnight, someone knocked on Ye Jiu’s door.
Ye Jiu opened the door to find Nanny Liu.
Just as she was about to speak, Nanny Liu made a gesture for silence, "Commandery Princess, the Prince and Princess Consort want you to sneak over."
Thinking something serious had happened, Ye Jiu immediately left Nanny Liu behind, hastening ahead.
Upon reaching the main courtyard, she discovered something indeed major had occurred!
The Prince was lying on the bed, half-dead, his face flushed red, and completely exhausted. The Princess Consort was just as bad off, albeit in contrast; her face was pale, showing signs of having been severely unsettled.
The Princess Consort was alright; her clothes were reasonably orderly, but the Prince was an unsightly mess, lying in bed, the Princess Consort occasionally pulling at his clothes to fix them.
"What’s the matter here?" Ye Jiu wondered out loud.
"Jiujiu, your father was drugged. He won’t let us call the Imperial Physician, saying you would have a way." The Princess Consort spoke while continuing to tug at the Prince’s barely-clad clothes.
The scene was quite difficult to witness, so Ye Jiu directly pressed the Prince’s acupoints to immobilize him, allowing the Princess Consort to finally repair his clothes properly.
Seeing the Prince’s serious state, Ye Jiu didn’t dare to delay, quickly performing a blood draw before leaving under the pretext of preparing medicine to find La Sike.
But when Ye Jiu opened the trading panel, she found the person opposite her wasn’t La Sike, but a completely unfamiliar man.
Upon seeing him, Ye Jiu’s expression froze, yet the stranger was very friendly, "You must be Ye Jiu, I’ve heard La Sike mention you."
"And you are..." Ye Jiu was in a hurry internally but dared not let it show.
"I’m Yun Ke, a researcher of the plane trading device. La Sike has already handed over the device, so in the future, if you need anything, you can find me." The man said.
