Chapter 864: Something’s Happening Next Door
In the courtyard of the Crown Princess Consort, the Crown Princess Consort and the Crown Prince stood facing each other. As they talked, the Crown Princess Consort’s hand was already restlessly climbing onto the Crown Prince.
"Your Highness, I have been here for several years now, surely that’s enough!" The surrounding servants had all been dismissed, and the Crown Princess Consort’s voice was coquettish.
Looking at the slightly sagging old face of the Crown Princess Consort, if it weren’t for the need for the Wang Family’s power, he wouldn’t want to come here even for ten days or half a month, let alone look at her for an extra second in ten years.
"These years have been hard on my dear consort, but officially you were punished to stay here with the Princess Consort of Prince Jing. If I take you back without permission, I’m afraid it would be hard to explain to the Emperor and Empress. Therefore, only if the Princess Consort of Prince Jing agrees to return, will I naturally have a way to bring you back as well," the Crown Prince reluctantly said.
Speaking of this, the Crown Princess Consort’s face turned angry, "That woman doesn’t know what’s wrong with her. From the moment we got here, I tried to trip her up in every way, but she stubbornly refuses to seek help from Jing’s Royal Residence..."
Looking at the distorted expression on the Crown Princess Consort’s face, the Crown Prince felt a wave of nausea inside.
However, he still had to put on a loving front.
As they talked, the atmosphere suddenly changed, and the Crown Princess Consort leaned onto the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, it’s been a long time since we have..."
Suppressing the nausea, the Crown Prince feigned a happy appearance, without daring to look at the Crown Princess Consort’s face, directly picked her up, and walked towards the room.
Ye Jiu, still crouching on the tree, widened her bright eyes, almost disgusted to the point of vomiting.
Then she quickly climbed down from the tree, and while no one was around, swiftly slipped to the room where the Crown Prince and Crown Princess Consort had entered.
She quietly poked a small hole into the door, then tossed a sleeping drug inside.
After waiting a few more seconds, Ye Jiu opened the door and slipped inside.
From the outside, this courtyard was a world apart from the courtyard of the Princess Consort of Prince Jing. But upon entering the room, she found that the room of the Princess Consort of Prince Jing could at most be described as ordinary. In contrast, the Crown Princess Consort’s room revealed nothing abnormal from the outside, yet once inside, whether looking at the furnishings on the treasure cabinet or the large bed beneath the two overlapping bodies, everything exuded an extraordinary air.
One could say that none of the furnishings inside this room were particularly outstanding, yet upon closer inspection, everything was a piece of treasure.
With one glance at the bed, where the now unclothed pair lay, the sight of all that whiteness made Ye Jiu immediately cover her eyes.
Then, she turned and began collecting things, whether it was the room’s ornaments or the clothes in the wardrobe, including the quilt on the bed, Ye Jiu left nothing for them.
Afterward, Ye Jiu gave the two the antidote and swiftly left.
It was only after sneaking out that Ye Jiu put away the sly expression on her face.
Ye Jiu had just jumped back onto the tree when she heard a scream from next door, frightening her to the point of almost falling off the tree.
Fortunately, she grabbed onto the trunk in time, thus avoiding the risk of being exposed.
In a flurry, Ye Jiu jumped back to the neighboring area and continued to sit by the stone platform as if she’d never left.
At this moment, Prince Jing came out from the house, "What happened outside? Why did I hear a woman screaming?"
Ye Jiu impatiently propped her chin with her hand and lifted her eyelids, "How should I know? I haven’t been out to see!"
