The abandoned concubine who transmigrated woke up shouting "Long live the widow!"

Jingxue knew that Qin Jing had only contacted her about business matters, and she had no time to deal with such things.

As for Ye Muchen's poisoning, she wondered why Feng Cuier would poison him if she wanted to get into his bed. Although she had supernatural abilities, she couldn't monitor everyone all the time. Now she knew that the assassin was someone bribed by Prime Minister Zou.

She remembered the masked man, the scarred man in the Second Prince's mansion. Who was this man working for?

Is it Prime Minister Zou or the Second Prince?

Should I tell Ye Muchen?

Just as Jingxue was at a loss for what to do, Xiaoman said from outside, "Miss, Guard Gao is here and says he wants you to go to Mingyuan Pavilion!"

Jingxue thought it must be Ye Muchen who had woken up. "I know, tell him I'm coming right away." Normally, Ye Muchen would need at least a while to wake up, so it seems this guy's physical condition is exceptionally good.

Upon arriving at Mingyuan Pavilion, the guards opened the door to Jingxue's bedroom.

Gao Chi was standing by Ye Muchen's bedside, while Ye Muchen had his hand on his forehead. Hearing the door open, the two of them looked over together.

"Your Highness, the Prince said his head still hurts when he woke up!" Gao Chi spoke first.

Jingxue nodded, "Okay! I understand, you can go out now!"

"Gao Chi said I'm poisoned, is that true?" Ye Muchen's voice was a little hoarse.

Jingxue looked at Ye Muchen with a serious expression and said, "It's true!" After saying that, she pulled up a chair, sat down, and took Ye Muchen's pulse.

Where do you feel uncomfortable?

Ye Muchen looked at Jingxue, who had a cold face, and said, "I just have a bit of a headache. It hurt all day yesterday. I thought it was because I drank too much that day. How long was I unconscious?"

"I don't know. When I came back from the palace, Gao Chi said that he couldn't wake you up anymore."

Ye Muchen's pulse was much more regular than before, but it was a little weak, so Jingxue let go of his hand.

"Gao Chi said he suspected that Feng Cuier poisoned me, but I think that's impossible. Why would she poison me? Even if she wanted to do *that*, there's no need for her to poison me."

Jingxue didn't answer him. She got up and walked to the table. She tested the teapot on the table with her hand. The temperature was just right, so she poured him a glass of water and brought it to the bedside.

"Have some water first!"

Ye Muchen sat up abruptly, took the teacup from Jingxue's hand, and slowly drank it down.

"Thank you!" After finishing his drink, he handed the cup to Jingxue.

"If it weren't for you, I don't know what would have happened to me this time?"

"He probably won't die! After all, there are many skilled imperial physicians in the palace," Jingxue said expressionlessly.

"Jingxue, you did a great job having Gao Chi keep the news under wraps!"

Jingxue rolled her eyes. "You don't need to praise me. I'm mainly worried that you'll drag me down with you. I'm starting to suspect that the person behind Father's accident is targeting you. Including the assassination attempts on my brother and me, whose path are you blocking?"

Jingxue got straight to the point.

Ye Muchen changed his position and leaned against the blanket.

“That’s possible. After all, to outsiders, it seems like I’m in the same faction as your father. But in the past three years since I returned to the court, I’ve known that the civil officials, led by Prime Minister Zou, are in one faction. The military officials, though not as obviously so, are tacitly united. However, I’ve noticed that some military officials are slowly moving in that direction!”

"Including my second brother marrying the daughter of General Yu, who is under my command, as a concubine, his intention to win her over is also very obvious!"

"I actually really hate the infighting and backstabbing in the court, but there's nothing I can do about it. Where there are people, there are selfish motives. It's all about power, and behind power is money. As a member of the royal family, I have an inescapable responsibility!"

"On the surface, there are no major problems between us brothers, but in private, it's only natural that my second brother and Prime Minister Zou are close as uncle and nephew. I hold military power, so it's normal for someone to want to get rid of me!"

Ye Muchen actually suspected that it was his second brother and Prime Minister Zou, but he just didn't want to say it too clearly.

Jingxue took a deep breath and then exhaled heavily.

Seeing her expression, Ye Muchen smiled bitterly and said, "Perhaps your father really has been implicated because of me!"

Jingxue frowned slightly. "You royals are all... never mind!"

She wanted to say that none of the royals were any good. The original owner married this guy and didn't get any benefits. She was subjected to emotional abuse and lost her life. Her parents were imprisoned, and she was almost assassinated.

"Alright! It's already like this, let's deal with the immediate problem first!" Jingxue said.

Ye Muchen rubbed his head. "I think there's a high chance that Feng Cuier was being used!"

"Ha!" Jingxue scoffed.

"Xue'er, I absolutely have no other feelings for her. I just feel that Feng Yi lost her life for me, and she's an orphan. From any perspective, I should take care of her. I just never expected her to have such thoughts. Please believe me! I..."

Jingxue raised a hand to stop Ye Muchen from speaking. "Ye Muchen, watch your address. There's no one else here. Don't pretend. Whether I believe you or not is not important. Let's solve the problem at hand."

"Xue'er, no, Jingxue, your trust is very important to me. I want to make my stance clear!" Ye Muchen sat up straight.

Jingxue frowned and crossed her arms. "Ye Muchen, I'm asking you, if Feng Cuier really did this, or if she was used by someone, what do you plan to do? How do you plan to deal with her?"

In fact, everyone understands that even if she was being used, it was because Feng Cuier had inappropriate thoughts first, otherwise how could she have been used?

But Jingxue didn't want to say this. Saying it would make it seem like she cared about Ye Muchen. Besides, people's thoughts are the hardest to fathom. Who can control other people's thoughts?

"If it really was her, I will hand her over to the Dali Temple. Poisoning a member of the royal family is punishable according to the law. I will repay Feng Yi's life-saving debt by not killing her myself!" Ye Muchen's face also darkened.

Jingxue was fairly satisfied with Ye Muchen's answer; this guy was still sensible.

"I have an idea. Since the news of my coma has been kept under wraps, I want to stay unconscious and see what happens outside." Ye Muchen's head wasn't hurting as much at this moment.

Jingxue: This guy is so capable, he even wants to be a behind-the-scenes planner!

"I don't think it's necessary. That would stretch the battle lines too far. If you fall into a coma, the person behind the scenes will immediately jump out, which would be too much. Besides, if you fall into a coma, wouldn't things get chaotic? Do you want to kill your mother? The reason I'm keeping the news of your coma under wraps is because I'm afraid the Empress Dowager can't handle it!"

Ye Muchen nodded after hearing Jingxue's words and said, "You're very thoughtful. Alas! Mother's illness this time is mostly due to me. Let's interrogate Feng Cuier directly!"

“That old woman next to Feng Cuier is no pushover either!” Jingxue said.

Ye Muchen narrowed his eyes. "Do you know something?"

Jingxue glanced at Ye Muchen and said, "I don't know anything!"

"Jingxue! You... do you still have complaints about me? I was wrong before, I apologize to you again!"
