Chapter 560: Person Behind the scene!

Translator: Lord bluefire

Jing Zhen flew into a rage. “Investigate this! This was my only son, the future crown prince! Investigate and find out the ones who participated in this matter and kill them all!”

His fury was at a suitable level.

Seeing this scene, Princess Consort Yan started to feel flustered.

Although she could ensure that each step she took was fine and the people who purchased the drug could also claim that Princess Consort Ji had instigated them to do this, she still felt a little flustered.

She clenched her fists and saw the Queen Dowager looking at her with a cold gaze.

The Queen Dowager was the champion of the last harem battle. Someone of Princess Consort Yan’s level couldn’t compare to her in the slightest.

The Queen Dowager then lowered her gaze and said slowly, “Investigate it! Men! Carry out the interrogation in the room next door! ”

The people outside immediately entered and took Princess Consort Ji out for intensive interrogation.

Princess Consort Ji’s agonizing cries gradually rang out from the room next door. After that, Jing Zhen glared at everyone in the palace. “Do you guys hear that?! That’s the consequence! If any of you knows anything, you better confess now! Those who turn themselves in can have their penalty halved! Otherwise, if I were to find out after the investigation, I’ll ensure intense punishment!’

His words made Princess Consort Yan tremble.

She gulped and then saw the Queen Dowager beckoning at her, so she moved toward the Queen Dowager.

The Queen Dowager played with the emerald ring on her finger and asked, “Didn’t I warn you not to lay a hand on the child?”

Princess Consort Yan immediately dropped to her knees. “Aunt, this matter has nothing to do with me!’

The Queen Dowager took a long look at her. “That better be the case.”

Princess Consort Yan wiped the non-existential cold sweat off of her forehead and stood up.

The channel through which abortion-inducing drugs were purchased could be investigated.

Princess Consort Ji didn’t expose Princess Consort Yan. However, Princess Consort Ji’s nanny confessed saying that the drug was purchased by someone from procurement. Therefore, Jing Zhen had the person from procurement apprehended and brought over.

Everyone who was involved in this operation died.

Princess Consort Yan just watched as her subordinates were taken away one by one as she clutched her handkerchief.

The Queen Dowager’s control of the harem was too strong. It had been over ten years since Princess Consort Yan had entered the palace, but she only managed to get such a small number of people to work for her... However, thinking about it, it was worth it!

In the end, the entire matter was investigated clearly.

When Princess Consort Ji was dragged out from the room next door, she was covered in blood and even her breathing was very weak. Despite this, she hadn’t mentioned Princess Consort Yan.

Only then did Princess Consort Yan let out a big sigh of relief. “Aunt, things are all clear now. You saw it for yourself! This matter really has nothing to do with me!”

Queen Dowager Yan didn’t say anything.

However, Jing Zhen scolded furiously, “Princess Consort Ji, you’re really audacious! These people were planted by your Ji Family, right? Therefore, you aren’t the only one who is guilty. Your Ji Family is guilty as well! I’m going to have your entire family imprisoned! Men!”

Jing Zhen’s fury was beyond Princess Consort Yan and Queen Dowager Yan’s expectations.

Queen Dowager Yan spoke up, “King...”

“Mother!” Jing Zhen kept a strong attitude. ‘That’s my son! Your grandson!! Haven’t you always wanted me to have a child? It’s gone just like that! Aren’t you furious?!”

Queen Dowager Yan was naturally furious.

The reason she had very strict expectations of Jing Zhen when she was younger was so that she could eliminate all her enemies. However, after getting old with age, she became more soft-hearted toward children, having less immunity against them.

At the thought of the child between Jing Zhen and Shen Qianhui..

The Queen Dowager took a look at Shen Ruojing. (The child should look like...)

The Queen Dowager then withdrew her gaze in disdain. (No, the child mustn’t be like her. She is too cold.)

She still liked Little Chu Yu, whom she had met in China, the most. Her grandson who had yet to come into this world would definitely look like Chu Yu if he had the chance to grow up...

Upon thinking about this, the Queen Dowager’s fury instantly soared and she lowered her eyes. “Then let’s go with what you said...”

“Your Majesty! You mustn’t!’

Ji Wuyou, who had been standing by the side, took a step forward. “This matter has nothing good to do with the Ji Family! It was done by Princess Consort Ji alone!”

Jing Zhen sneered and then pointed to the room next door. Over ten people were dragged in there. “It’s enough to cover an entire production line, right? She has neither power nor money, so tell me, how did she manage to nurture these people? She must have been sponsored by the Ji Family!” Ji Wuyou took a deep breath. “Your Majesty, I have evidence!”

Jing Zhen was stunned.

Ji Wuyou then took out a phone and turned on the recording. The conversation between Princess Consort Yan and Princess Consort Ji sounded:

“Ji Nina, if you don’t help me get this done, I’ll make sure you die a horrible death!”

“Go and put this packet of drugs into Princess Consort Shen’s meal! Do it cleanly and don’t get discovered! Then, you’ll be able to survive!”

” ..Yes.”

After the recording stopped, Princess Consort Yan erupted in rage. “Ji Wuyou!

You are trying to malign me! This recording must have been edited! ”

Only then did Ji Wuyou turn to look at Princess Consort Yan. “Princess Consort Yan, I have a personal feud with Ji Nina and didn’t plan on exposing you guys. However, since His Majesty wants the entire Ji family to die as well, I can’t hold back anymore! ”

Princess Consort Yan quickly looked at Jing Zhen and the Queen Dowager as she dropped to her knees. “Your Majesty, Queen Dowager, you can’t pin the crime on me based on this voice recording!’

This time around, before Jing Zhen could say anything, the Queen Dowager smiled and said, “Do you think that I don’t know who that maid from procurement works for?”

Her words affirmed Princess Consort Yan’s crime!

Princess Consort Yan wanted to say more when the Queen Dowager waved her hand and said, ‘Men, lock Princess Consort Yan away! ‘

With these words, people immediately gushed in and held Princess Consort Yan down, bringing her away to be locked up in the palace’s prison!

Jing Zhen said in rage, “If this matter was done by Princess Consort Yan, then with the Yan Family... ‘

The Queen Dowager immediately looked at Jing Zhen. “I can swear on my life that this matter has nothing to do with the Yan Family.”

Jing Zhen intentionally blew up the matter to make it seem as if someone had harmed the Crown Prince, wanting to drag the related family in. He wanted to let the Queen Dowager make her choice between the Yan Family and Yan Rushuang!

The Queen Dowager naturally would choose the Yan Family.

Jing Zhen looked at her for a very long time, seemingly very angry. But in the end, he had no choice but to give in. “Alright, but I’ll definitely not let Princess Consort Yan off!”

Everything was taken care of very smoothly , completely within Jing Zhen’s control.

Only after the Queen Dowager left did Jing Zhen remove the enraged expression on his face. He raised his brows at Shen Ruojing, looking like he was asking to be praised.

Shen Ruojing.

In the next few days, the matter regarding Princess Consort Ji and Princess Consort Yan was exposed.

As Princess Consort Ji had been forced by Princess Consort Yan, Jing Zhen only punished her to be imprisoned for five years. Her princess consort title was removed and she would be chased out of the palace later.

On the other hand, Princess Consort Yan was charged with the crime of having harmed the unborn Crown Prince.

Ji Nina was gulping her food down frantically in the room she was detained.

A handsome guy sat down in front of her and said with a doting tone, “Eat slower.’

Ji Nina mumbled, “I’ve been starving for many days.. ”

The guy sighed. “You could have used a better method. Why did you let yourself be imprisoned for five years as well?’

Ji Nina looked up. “Wuyou, people can’t have the best of both worlds. Since our statuses are low, we naturally have to pay a price to get what we want...”

The person who was sitting in front of her was the brother born to her father’s concubine, Ji Wuyou, who claimed to hate her!

The siblings seemed to have a close relationship, looking very relaxed and not like they had any feud at all.

However, Ji Nina had just said this when she heard an icy voice coming from the door. ‘Then what is Princess Consort Ji’s objective to be plotting all these?”

Shen Ruojing pushed open the door and walked in.

Seeing her, Ji Wuyou stood up abruptly!
