WFWC Chapter 110

The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 110: A Malevolent Star Appears in the Ji Family

Before leaving, Emperor Yu reiterated that the palace maid Xiaozhu’s testimony was unreliable and could not be convincing. Only real physical evidence could prove the case.

Today’s objective was to implicate the Third Prince; the real test would begin then.

Bei Hengyuan’s vomited blood was fake, but Emperor Yu’s was real.

Eunuch De immediately ordered his men to bring a black pill for Emperor Yu to take, which made him feel better.

The black pill was specially made for Emperor Yu by Master Cifeng; it not only relieved his headache but also improved his energy.

In a much better mood after taking the medicine, Emperor Yu summoned Eunuch De.

“Little De, now that the witness is dead, go find the physical evidence. I refuse to believe that the poison silently seeped into Marquis Ji’s cup. I don’t trust anyone else with this matter; you handle it personally.”

“Yes, Your Majesty.”

“Return. Have someone go to the Ji family again and investigate what kind of poison it was. If someone destroys the evidence, you should know what to do, right?” Emperor Yu called out to Eunuch De, who was about to leave.

“Also, go and deliver some nourishing things to the Third Prince for me. I’m worried he might overthink things.”

Eunuch De’s eyes flickered slightly, and he understood. “This old servant understands.”

At the Imperial Clan Court, the Second Prince, upon receiving the news, was greatly surprised. “Could it be that the sickly man also has designs on that position?”

If he truly did, then could the previous incident in Jizhou have been his doing? Was he framing the Mother to eliminate the Jiang family’s power?

The Second Prince swayed unsteadily. Yes, that must be it, otherwise why couldn’t they find any evidence?

With this connection, everything before made sense.

“Hahaha, hahaha!” The Second Prince suddenly burst into laughter, tears streaming down his face.

“Mother, we’ve all been deceived, deceived by that sickly man.”

“Mother, rest assured, your son will avenge the entire Jiang family.”

To avenge the Jiang family, the first step was to find a way to leave the Imperial Clan Court.

Meanwhile, the Crown Prince dismissed everyone and voiced his suspicions: “Mother, it’s highly likely that my third brother’s illness was intentional.”

Combining Ji Linfeng’s words with his father’s concern for the third prince and the incident in Jizhou,he instantly understood.

He intended to use the illusion of poisoning to deceive others, hoping to gain his father’s favor and achieve his own goals.

Today’s plan was complete. The Ji family had publicly expressed their suspicion of the third prince, thus drawing attention to him.

Those who prefer to remain behind the scenes are most afraid of the light of day.

The Empress pondered for a long time, then, following the Crown Prince’s words, analyzed everything concerning the third prince. Finally, she suddenly remembered the Imperial Advisor’s words: “The third prince’s life is not destined to end; he is destined to have a benefactor. This benefactor will appear on the Shangsi Festival.”

And indeed, the third prince brought back a benefactor—a female physician. It was said that she had already gone out to find a solution to his poison.

If this nobleman could devise a solution, the Third Prince’s poison could be cured.

Once cured, the Third Prince would have a chance to contend for the throne.

The Empress abruptly rose from her seat, looking at the Crown Prince with alarmed eyes: “My son, we truly underestimated the Third Prince.”

The Crown Prince was equally astonished, clearly having grasped the crux of the matter.

What should they do next? The Third Prince had been feigning illness for six years, his actions deeply ingrained in his father’s mind. Without concrete evidence, how could he easily believe others’ words?

Currently, it seemed his poisoning was real. This alone made it impossible for anyone to believe he was faking it. Furthermore, he had the assistance of a highly respected Imperial Advisor.

At this moment, the Crown Prince felt the Third Prince was incredibly terrifying. After all, no normal person would joke about their own life for six long years.

The third prince was only ten years old at the time! My goodness, how deep must his cunning be to think so far ahead?

“My son, our opponents are strong, do not be careless,” the Empress warned in a deep voice.

“Your Majesty, I understand, I will make the arrangements immediately.”

Just now, when he saw Ji Yushu and the others off, he had already learned some details of the poisoning of Marquis Ji from Ji Yushu. It turned out that the poison was used by the third prince through Mu Cheng’s men.

Ever since he learned that the third prince had ulterior motives, he had planted a spy by his side.

At this time, the third prince would definitely take some action to clear himself of suspicion. He only needed to have the spy keep a close eye on the people around him.

Compared to the Crown Prince’s orderly approach, Bei Hengyuan, who had just returned to Yuehua Palace, seemed less composed.

As soon as Bei Hengyuan sat down, the deep voice of the Imperial Advisor sounded behind him: “This Imperial Advisor has deduced that the Third Prince’s natural enemy is the Ji family.”

At this moment, the Imperial Advisor’s face was gloomy, and no one knew how he had come to Yuehua Palace.

Lone Wolf quickly called the people outside away, closed the door behind him, and personally guarded the entrance.

Bei Hengyuan’s eyes were deep and dark.

The Imperial Advisor continued, “This Imperial Advisor observed the celestial phenomena last night and divined that a malevolent star has appeared in the Ji family. This malevolent star has disrupted all the original specific trajectories, including the matter of your mother, all because of this malevolent star.”

Upon hearing this, Bei Hengyuan’s face immediately showed murderous intent. No wonder, no wonder his plans have been repeatedly thwarted recently.

“Do you know who it is?”

The Imperial Advisor shook his head: “Not yet, this Imperial Advisor will continue to deduce.”

“No need for such trouble, just leave no one in the Ji family alive.” This was his next plan. The original plan was to deal with Marquis Ji first and then deal with Ji Linfeng, but now it seemed that no one in the Ji family could be left alive.

Dogs that cannot be used must be discarded.

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Advisor objected, “No. This jinx from the Ji family is quite special. Before we can definitively deduce who it is, I urge the Third Prince not to touch the Ji family. Once this person is eliminated, the others will naturally be no problem.”

The Third Prince, always willing to listen to advice, immediately nodded in agreement to deal with the jinx first.

Before leaving, the Imperial Advisor added to Bei Hengyuan, “Third Prince, go ahead and do it. Your father will only believe you are innocent, and the final victor must be you.”

Hearing this, Bei Hengyuan’s eyes flickered slightly. He knew that he had already taken action against that person. The final victory could only belong to him alone.

Not long after the Imperial Advisor left, a black-clad bodyguard appeared behind him without anyone noticing.

The messenger reported, “Master, Mu Cheng’s death wasn’t due to poisoning, but rather at the hands of Ji Linfeng. After Lord Ji was poisoned, Madam Ji rushed to the Ji family, presumably suspecting Mu Cheng. Mu Cheng, upon discovering at the banquet that Lord Ji hadn’t died from poisoning, became angry and attempted to poison the old imperial physician immediately.”

“Unexpectedly, Madam Ji arrived at that moment, intending to kill her so that Lord Ji would regret it for the rest of his life. But Ji Linfeng appeared in time and killed Mu Cheng.”

Upon hearing this, Bei Hengyuan had two questions. First, why didn’t the Ji family immediately suspect the Empress? Second, how was Ji Linfeng able to arrive at the Mu residence in time to save Madam Ji?

From this incident, the Ji family seemed absolutely certain it wasn’t the Empress’s doing, without even a hint of suspicion.

Could the problem lie with that ominous star? Is that ominous star even more powerful than the Imperial Advisor, capable of predicting the future?

No, no, if the Ji family truly had such a powerful figure, they would surely have been able to deduce Mu Cheng’s initial intention to act. Instead of waiting until he was poisoned to suspect Mu Cheng, why did they do that?

Bei Hengyuan felt a deep sense of doubt.

But no matter what, the Crown Prince would never speak up for him. Perhaps he was the one who orchestrated today’s events.

Truth and falsehood intertwined, he was already unable to extricate himself from the situation.
