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

Jingxue least wanted to hear these things: "Ye Muchen, I forgot to tell you, the most useless things in this world are 'sorry' and 'I'm sorry.' What good are these words except to ease your own guilt? Can time be reversed? Can a dead person come back to life?"

It seems like they can survive, like myself!

"What do I know? I know Feng Cuier wants to get into your bed, but what does that have to do with me! I'm not the one sleeping with her, so why should I comment? You should rest for a bit! I'm going back!"

"Jingxue!" Ye Muchen's voice rose a little, and he leaned forward, wanting to pull Jingxue back, but then sat back down.

Jingxue turned around when he called her, thinking he was feeling unwell.

Ye Muchen gazed at Jingxue and said, "Xue'er, I love you! I want to be with you for life!"

Jingxue really wanted to go up and touch his head. This guy had a high fever, and he was saying such things at a time like this.

Rolling her eyes, Jingxue gritted her teeth and said, "Ye Muchen, if you dare to say such nonsense again, believe me, I'll poison your tongue until it rots and you'll be shut up forever!"

After Jingxue finished speaking, she kicked the door open and left.

Gao Chi, who was outside, was terrified and rushed into the house, only to find his lord sitting on the bed, grinning foolishly.

He stepped forward and reached out to touch Ye Muchen's forehead, but Ye Muchen slapped his hand away.

"Your Highness, are you alright?"

"I am fine, I am in a very good mood! I feel very comfortable!"

Gao Chi: We're doomed! This poison has a really strong aftereffect!

Ye Muchen was indeed in a good mood, finally able to say what he had been holding back for so long.

After feeling refreshed, Ye Muchen said to Gao Chi, "Where did Feng Cuier get the audacity to poison me?"

The mere mention of Feng Cuier ignited Gao Chi's anger. "Your Highness, there's something I shouldn't say, but given how things have developed, I have to speak up. Aren't you being too lenient with Feng Cuier?"

Upon hearing this, Ye Muchen became displeased. "What do you mean? I just want to find solid evidence and don't want to wrong her!"

"Who else could it be but her? You eat the same food as everyone else in Mingyue Tower and the military camp. It's impossible for the cook in Mingyuan Pavilion to do that. This time, it's all thanks to the Princess Consort. Otherwise, even if your life wasn't in danger, how much suffering and hardship would you have endured!" Gao Chi said angrily, his brows furrowed.

Ye Muchen knew that Gao Chi made sense, but he still felt that something was wrong!

“Your Highness, I know you’ve felt guilty ever since Feng Yi died, but have you ever considered that it’s our duty as guards? If I had had the chance, I would have shielded you from the arrows without hesitation. It’s understandable that you want to take care of his family! But now, Feng Cuier has turned against you!”

Ye Muchen let out a breath. "I just can't understand why she did this. I arranged for her to stay in the manor and had servants to take care of her, how did she end up raising such a wretched child?"

Gao Chi looked at Ye Muchen and said, "Your Highness, why don't I bring her over here so you can interrogate her?"

Ye Muchen shook his head. "No rush. Have someone keep an eye on her. I need to find solid evidence to leave her speechless. Go and investigate who she's been in contact with lately."

"Your Highness, the Princess Consort said that the old woman next to Feng Cuier is not a good one either. I remember there are two old women in that courtyard!"

Ye Muchen nodded slightly, "Yes! Go and bring out the other old woman. I will question her myself."

Gao Chi responded and walked out, then suddenly turned back and asked, "Your Highness, are you alright? Would you like to rest a bit more?"

Ye Muchen was already putting on his shoes. "I'm fine. Go and call a servant to come and attend to me. All the other servants, come back too!"

Since you're not going to pretend to be unconscious, let's just go back to normal.

When Granny Liu was summoned, Ye Muchen was having his meal, so she waited outside.

Ye Muchen ate quite quickly. After rinsing his mouth and resting for a while, he instructed Gao Chi to bring Granny Liu in.

Granny Liu bowed and stood there with her head down.

"During the time you've been serving Miss Feng, how many times has she left the mansion?" Ye Muchen asked with a cold and authoritative voice.

"Your Highness, Miss Feng only left the manor once, but it wasn't me who accompanied her to serve her!"

"What do you usually do in your yard?"

"At first, I served Miss Feng closely with Old Tan's wife, who is now Wang Ma. Later, Miss Feng asked me to do some rough work in the courtyard, such as boiling water and washing clothes. As for what the young lady does, I don't know," Granny Liu said truthfully.

"Is it because I didn't serve you well? That's why I made you do the rough work," Ye Muchen asked.

Granny Liu shook her head slightly, sighed, and looked somewhat troubled and helpless.

Seeing this, Gao Chi said gruffly, "The prince is asking you a question, so just say what you want to say!"

Ye Muchen looked at Granny Liu with a gloomy expression and said nothing.

"Your Highness, it's not that I don't want to speak, but I overheard a few words and dare not say anything. I beg Your Highness to let me go back to the laundry room! I used to be a laundry worker."

“Then tell me what you’ve heard!” Ye Muchen said.

"Yes, it was Wang Ma who initially gave Miss Feng the idea. She said it would be best if Miss Feng could become the prince's concubine. Otherwise, after a year or two, the prince might just find someone to marry her off to. It was precisely because she seemed to be putting herself in Miss Feng's shoes that she gained Miss Feng's trust."

"From then on, Miss Feng would usually make me do most of the chores, or she would send me away if they had something private to say. Last time, a maid from the Second Prince's mansion came to see Miss Feng, and she also sent me away!"

Ye Muchen narrowed his eyes. "You said a maid from the Second Prince's residence came to our mansion?"

"Yes! That maid is quite familiar with Miss Feng. She came twice, and both times it was Wang Mama who served her in the room. I don't know exactly what they talked about."

Ye Muchen glanced at Gao Chi, who immediately understood and turned to leave.

"Didn't you all used to eat in the main kitchen? Why is Miss Feng cooking for herself again?"

"Your Highness, that's how it started. But then Wang Ma said that Miss Feng should learn to cook. The Princess Consort cooks for herself, and that's why Your Highness often visits her courtyard. So, Miss Feng asked me to tell the steward that Meilan Garden should also start cooking for itself. The steward agreed without saying anything and even sent someone to deliver vegetables every day."

After hearing what Granny Liu said, Ye Muchen scoffed, "Hmph! She dares to compare herself to the Princess Consort? She really doesn't know her own limitations!"

"How many servants do you have in your courtyard?"

"At first it was just me and Granny Wang, but a few days later, I don't know what Granny Wang said to the steward, but his husband, the gardener Old Tan, also came to Meilan Garden, along with a gatekeeper. However, that gatekeeper often goes out, and I don't know what he does. When he comes back, he goes to Miss Feng's room to talk, and only goes to the gatehouse when he has nothing else to do," Granny Liu replied.
