WFWC Chapter 99

The Whole Family Went Crazy After Reading My Mind Chapter 99: Poison

The court officials dared not object, but most of them scoffed inwardly. Who couldn’t see through Nangong Yan’s subtle thoughts? Not only had she not become the Crown Princess, but she had become the Rong Consort instead. Haha, what’s that called? Shooting oneself in the foot.

[Tsk, tsk, tsk, how pitiful. This is the result of being too ambitious. She wouldn’t be a princess, but she insisted on becoming the Rong Consort. See, she’s gotten herself into trouble.]

Nangong Yan’s vision was too simplistic and idealistic. She was a princess of a certain country, so becoming the Crown Princess was a sure thing. Moreover, if the Crown Prince married her, he would have the support of the entire Southern Kingdom, and his position as Crown Prince would only be more secure.

Little did she know that the Crown Prince would be completely disdainful, even engaging in a love affair with a minister’s daughter in front of her, which truly infuriated her.

Okay, very good. When this princess has a son, I will take your Crown Prince position.

Nangong Yan grew increasingly angry as she thought about it, and she didn’t sit there for long before finding an excuse to leave.

After Nangong Yan, more and more ladies came on stage to show their talents. But because of Nangong Yan’s fiery dance moves, the conservative dances behind her could not catch everyone’s eyes.

They all went home in disappointment.

The banquet soon entered the second half. Emperor Yu left first because he had a memorial to review. The Queen accompanied everyone to appreciate the dance for a while, and the banquet was coming to an end.

Before leaving, the Queen announced one thing, which was to advance the marriage of the Crown Prince and Lu Qingyan.

Too many things have happened recently, and she was afraid of further changes. After discussing with the Crown Prince, they decided to advance the wedding date.

[The Crown Prince and Lu Qingyan’s wedding was around the beginning of August, but this time it was advanced to the beginning of June, a full two months earlier. It seems that the events of the past few days made the Queen panic.]

[That’s good. Get married soon and don’t give the second and third princes the opportunity to make trouble for the Lu family again.]

Ji Hua looked at the Queen’s amiable smile and cried.

[I have already put the Hundred Poisons Invulnerability Pill into the water cup, and I saw the Queen drink it. The jade pendant will never harm her again. I really want to see the furious expression on the Third Prince’s face when he finds out that the plan has failed.]

The banquet ended with Ji Hua muttering, and the court officials went back to their homes. Ji Linfeng helped the drunk Lord Ji out.

Lord Ji’s face looked even redder than before, and Ji Linfeng helped him get into the carriage carefully. “Dad, be careful with your step.”

Ji Linfeng couldn’t help but mutter in his heart: Dad hasn’t drunk like this in many years. He must have been too happy today and got himself drunk.

Not long after, two carriages of the Ji family drove out of the palace one after the other.

Duanmu Yi was very uneasy, and was reluctantly pulled into the carriage by Madam Duanmu. “Let’s go, Yi’er. It’s not proper to stare at a man outside of your family like this.”

“But mother, I have something to tell the Marquis’ wife.” Duanmu Yi was very anxious, but was still pulled into the carriage by Madam Duanmu. Madam Duanmu even said angrily, “There will be plenty of opportunities in the future, there’s no need to rush.”

Duanmu Yi twisted her handkerchief anxiously, feeling that if she said this too late, things would be delayed.

No, she had to find a chance to go to the Ji Mansion.

At today’s banquet, Nangong Yan’s performance and Emperor Yu’s performance all fulfilled that dream. She felt more and more that it was no longer a dream, but a mysterious guidance from the unknown.

Another thing that puzzled her was that everything else was coming true. Why was the person standing behind the Third Prince not Lu Yiyi but Qi Yun?

The Crown Prince was still alive, so why did the sickly Third Prince ascend the throne in the end?

What was that blurry fragment?

Beneath the palace wall, the pale-faced Bei Hengyuan and Gu Lang watched the Ji family leave.

“Master, will the Ji family suspect the Queen?” Because of this matter, they kept an eye on Mu Cheng for several days. When they found that he had finally made up his mind to take action against the Ji family, they arranged for someone to switch the medicine.

Mu Cheng is also a ruthless person. He used a fatal poison as soon as he arrived. It seems that he is ready to fight to the death with the Ji family. Fortunately, they replaced him in advance, otherwise, how can the Ji family suspect the queen?

Bei Hengyuan did not answer him immediately. Seeing the Ji family’s carriage drove out of sight, he said dimly: “Even if the queen does not suspect it, she will suspect that it was Mu Cheng who did it. In short, it has nothing to do with us.” Those who cannot be used by him must be eliminated.

“It would be better if the suspicion is directed at my father. The Ji family has been more powerful than the master in recent years.” He found that the Ji family was present in the plans that failed repeatedly in recent days. I think this variable lies with the Ji family, so no matter what, the Ji family must disappear.

Lone Wolf smiled, and this arrow can be said to have killed three birds with one stone.

“Go and make arrangements. Stay at Huguo Temple for two days.”

“Yes.”

The master and servant stood for a while and then left together.

Over here, the Ji family carriage soon arrived at the mansion. Ji Linfeng and the housekeeper who stepped forward quickly helped the drunk Lord Ji down from the carriage. Just as they stepped over the threshold, the originally weak Lord Ji suddenly broke away from them, vomited a mouthful of black blood with a wow sound, and then fell to the ground and convulsed.

The incident happened so quickly that the housekeeper was shocked.

Ji Linfeng’s face changed drastically and he threw himself beside Lord Ji. “Dad, Dad, what’s wrong with you? Mom, come quickly, Dad seems to have been poisoned. Dad, what’s wrong with you, don’t scare me?” Ji Linfeng was so scared that his face turned pale and he couldn’t speak clearly.

Madam Ji had just stepped down from the horse stool with Ji Hua in her arms when she heard Ji Linfeng’s panicked voice. Her intuition told her that something was wrong.

She stepped quickly into the courtyard and saw the scene of Lord Ji vomiting blood and falling to the ground. At that moment, it was like a thunderbolt exploding in her mind.

It wasn’t until Ji Hua’s cries that she regained her senses and stumbled towards Marquis Ji. She screamed in panic, “Go get the medicine box!”

[Daddy, Daddy looks like he’s been poisoned. Woohoo, why didn’t I see that just now? His face is black and blue, his lips are purple, he’s been poisoned deeply. It’s too late, too late to save him. There are pills, there’s a resurrection pill, I saw it last time.]

[As long as he’s still breathing, he can be saved. Wait for me, wait for me, Daddy must wait for me.]

Ji Hua burst into tears in fear, but she didn’t forget to open the Gold Finger Mall and frantically search for the resurrection pill.

She was so panicked that her whole body was shaking.

Marquis Ji had suddenly collapsed, and the entire Ji Mansion was in chaos. No one paid any attention to the man who had hurriedly left the street corner after hearing the news.

Ji Hua knew that the more panicked she was, the worse it would be, but she couldn’t control herself. Her body and hands were shaking even more.

The courtyard was a chaotic mess of screams and cries.

Madam Ji ordered someone to fetch her medicine chest, while she knelt before Marquis Ji, holding Ji Hua in one hand. With a trembling right hand, she felt his pulse. The poison had already taken hold of his heart, damaging his lungs.

Madam Ji was panicked, her face pale. She held Ji Hua tightly. She was the only one who could save Marquis Ji at this moment. She was the hope of the entire Ji family.

Marquis Ji lay on the ground, vomiting blood and even vomiting fragments of his internal organs. The poison had clearly taken hold of his heart.

Madam Ji wanted to cry, but she knew she had to take charge. She bit her lip tightly to hold back the tears, but the tears flowed silently.

“It’s going to be okay, isn’t it?”

“Husband, you’re going to be okay, aren’t you? You won’t abandon me and the children. You’re most worried about Hua’er. She’s going to be so sad. She’s going to look for her father, isn’t she?” “You must hold on.”

As she spoke, Madam Ji, her face covered in tears, began to blame herself. “Why? Why didn’t I diagnose it? Damn it, damn it!” Madam Ji bit her lip and even bled.

But she seemed unaware of it.

Ji Yushu and Ji Linfeng comforted Madam Ji with red eyes, but when they saw Marquis Ji vomiting viscera and black blood, their hearts sank.

Ji Huan slid the panel with trembling hands and finally found the pill at the bottom. But her points were not enough, a full hundred were still missing.

She was going to collapse, she was really going to collapse.

Why was it so expensive? Could it be that the fate of the Ji family really could not be changed?
