Feng Yexuan's palm tightened.
Last night had been the biggest stain on his life.
He, a dignified War God of a nation, who commanded storms on the battlefield, never expected to be defeated by a woman who couldn't even lift a chicken!
He didn't even know when she had drugged him!
His cold gaze swept towards Chu Qianli.
Chu Qianli, however, remained calm, the faint smile on her lips making Feng Yexuan's anger surge even more.
"If I said I was also drugged last night, Your Highness, would you believe me?" Chu Qianli looked at him.
"The Fourteenth Prince's sword was drugged, he injured me, the drug remained on me, and when I bit you, the effect also transferred to Your Highness."
"Witch, are you saying my Rui'er drugged you?" Consort Jin couldn't stay seated.
Everyone in the manor knew Feng Jinrui's character.
He was still a naive child, how could he play such schemes?
Feng Jinrui blushed and quickly said, "I didn't drug anyone."
Feng Yexuan's eyes deepened, and the chill in the air intensified.
"I know you won't believe this, which is why I never mentioned it. The drug on the Fourteenth Prince's sword has likely been cleaned up by now."
"It's just your one-sided word..."
Chu Qianli interrupted Consort Jin, saying coldly, "I will eventually provide evidence for this matter to Your Highness later, but for now, shouldn't Your Highness first deal with Yu Linglong drugging the Fourteenth Prince?"
Yu Linglong's heart chilled.
This damned Chu Qianli was even more intelligent and wise than she had imagined!
Knowing that there was no evidence at the moment to clear herself, she wanted to kill her first!
Truly venomous!
"Yexuan..." Yu Linglong wanted to say more.
But Feng Yexuan's cold eyes were utterly merciless: "Lock her up!"
"Yes, Your Highness!" Leng Ji could only step forward.
This time, without further ado, he reached out to apprehend Yu Linglong.
Unexpectedly, before Leng Ji's hand could touch Yu Linglong, a hoarse voice from the side rang out:
"It has nothing to do with Miss Yu, this matter... I did it."
Consort Jin!
Everyone looked at Consort Jin, suspecting they had misheard!
"Mother Consort!" Feng Jinrui couldn't believe it either! How could his mother consort drug him?
Feng Yexuan's dark eyes were filled with frost: "Mother Consort, do you know what you are saying?"
"It was my fault."
Consort Jin raised her eyes, meeting Feng Yexuan's gaze.
She said in a hoarse voice, "The aroma of Yuqingmu and wuweizi cannot be mixed. I asked Miss Yu about this."
"Miss Yu didn't say anything earlier, she was just keeping my secret. And the ginseng tea, I also gave it to Rui'er under Miss Yu's name."
"Mother Consort!" Feng Jinrui didn't believe it, he wouldn't believe a word of it!
How could his mother consort harm him?
Feng Yexuan's face turned ashen, clearly furious this time!
"Even if Yu Linglong had a kindness towards the Empress Dowager, you didn't need to do this!"
"Xuan'er, it was truly me. Even Xiao Tao carrying wuweizi was arranged by me. If you don't believe me, you can ask Xiao Tao."
Xiao Tao lowered her eyelids, her eyes filled with a myriad of emotions.
There was fear, shock, and hesitation.
Finally, her whole body slumped, and she sobbed, "Yes... Consort Jin ordered this servant to do it."
Qing Ming said displeasedly, "Harming a prince is a capital offense! You should think clearly!"
"It was this servant... this servant and Consort Jin plotted together, this servant confesses!"
Xiao Tao glanced at Consort Jin, then at Yu Linglong, her gaze filled with sorrow.
Finally, she lowered her head, gritted her teeth, and suddenly lunged towards Consort Jin not far away:
"It's all you! You forced me to do it! I'll kill you!"
