Chapter 36: Chapter 36 It was me who did it

Feng Yexuan’s palm tightened.

Last night was the greatest stain in his life.

He, the famed War God of the nation, who commanded the winds and rains on the battlefield, had been defeated by a woman who couldn’t even truss a chicken!

He didn’t even know when she had poisoned him!

His cold gaze swept toward Chu Qianli.

Yet Chu Qianli’s face remained calm, with a smile that wasn’t quite a smile, which fueled Feng Yexuan’s anger even more.

"If I said that I was also drugged last night, Prince, would you believe me?" Chu Qianli looked at him.

"The sword of Prince Jinrui was poisoned. When he wounded me, the poison remained on my body, and when I bit you, the poison was transferred to you."

"Enchantress, are you saying that my Ruirui drugged you?" Consort Jin couldn’t stay quiet anymore.

The character of Feng Jinrui was known to everyone in the Prince Residence.

Still naive and childlike, how could he have conceived such a cunning plot?

Feng Jinrui’s face flushed red, and he hurriedly said, "I didn’t drug anyone."

Feng Yexuan’s eyes deepened, and a chill suddenly intensified.

"I knew you wouldn’t believe it, so I never mentioned it. The poison on Prince Jinrui’s sword has likely been cleaned off by now."

"That’s just your side of the story..."

Chu Qianli, however, interrupted Consort Jin’s words, saying coldly, "As for proving my innocence, I will eventually show the evidence to the Prince. But for now, shouldn’t the Prince deal with the matter of Yu Linglong drugging Prince Jinrui first?"

Yu Linglong felt a chill in her heart.

This damned Chu Qianli was even smarter and wiser than she had thought!

Knowing there was currently no evidence to exonerate herself, she aimed to put Yu Linglong to death first!

How vicious!

"Yexuan..." Yu Linglong tried to say something else.

But Feng Yexuan, with a cold and merciless gaze, said, "Lock her up!"

"Yes, Prince!" Leng Ji stepped forward reluctantly.

This time, without further words, he reached out to seize Yu Linglong.

Unexpectedly, before Leng Ji could even touch Yu Linglong, a hoarse voice interrupted from the side:

"It has nothing to do with Miss Yu. This... was my doing."

Consort Jin!

Everyone looked at Consort Jin in disbelief, doubting their own ears!

"Mother!" Feng Jinrui couldn’t believe it either! How could his mother ever drug him?

Feng Yexuan’s dark eyes filled with frost, "Mother, do you realize what you’re saying?"

"It was my mistake," she admitted.

Consort Jin lifted her eyelids and met Feng Yexuan’s gaze.

In a hoarse voice, she said, "Yuqing Wood and Five-Flavor Berry should not be mixed together. I learned this from Miss Yu."

"Miss Yu did not speak earlier only to keep my secret. The ginseng tea was also something I had her give to Jinrui in her name."

"Mother!" Feng Jinrui disbelieved; he would not believe a word of it!

How could his mother wish to harm him?

Feng Yexuan’s face turned an iron shade, visibly enraged this time!

"Even if Yu Linglong had shown kindness to the Empress Dowager, there was no need for this!"

"Xuanxuan, it was indeed me. Even the fact that Xiaotao carried the Five-Flavor Berry was arranged by me. You can ask Xiaotao if you don’t believe it."

Xiaotao’s eyelids drooped, a tumult of emotions in her eyes.

Shock, horror, hesitation.

In the end, her whole body slumped, and she sobbed, "It’s... it was Consort Jin who commanded this servant to do it."

Qing Ming spoke in displeasure, "Conspiring against a Prince is a capital offense! Think carefully!"

"It’s true... it was Consort Jin and I who conspired together. I confess!"

Xiaotao glanced at Consort Jin, then at Yu Linglong; her gaze was pitiful.

In the end, she lowered her head, clenched her teeth, and suddenly threw herself at Consort Jin:

"It was all your doing! You forced me into this! I’ll kill you!"
