The Physicist Wife Who Overturned The World

Chapter 651 - 651 The Lord’s Orders

651 The Lord’s Orders

In less than an hour, half of the people who were protecting Consort Dowager Jing retreated. Furthermore, they acted a little high-profile while leaving. Even the palace maids and eunuchs could sense it, let alone Consort Dowager Jing.

Consort Dowager Jing woke up the night after Ye Jiushang came. She learned that he had chosen a Ninth Imperial Consort. She was shocked and angry. She sent people to invite Ye Jiushang into the palace many times, but it was fruitless. Coupled with the fact that people beside her kept buzzing, she was frustrated.

“Alright, stop talking. It’s not like you don’t know Jiushang’s personality. It’s useless no matter how much you tell me. Fuling, I’ve already done my best.”

Fuling was Consort Dowager Jing’s personal maid. Over the years, with her backing, she gradually became bolder. When it came to her love for Ye Jiushang, she went from not daring to having extravagant hopes. Although she said that she only wanted to be a concubine, what she wanted was the position of the main consort.

At the very least, she would be a consort. A small concubine was not enough to satisfy her.

But she rarely saw Ye Jiushang. Under such circumstances, she could not fight for the position of the Ninth Imperial Consort.

Hence, when she found out that the Empress wanted to poison Consort Dowager Jing to lure out the Ninth Lord, she asked Consort Dowager Jing to beat her at her own game… Once the Ninth Lord made an appearance, she would have a chance to obtain his favor. Then, the position of the Ninth Imperial Consort would be imminent.

As everything was going smoothly, who knew that Xue Fanxin would appear? She was enraged.

“Your Highness, didn’t you say that you will help me? I don’t want much. Being a concubine of the Ninth Lord is enough.” Fuling pulled on Consort Dowager Jing’s arm and begged like a daughter wheedling to her mother.

Consort Dowager Jing shook her head helplessly and patted Fuling’s hand. “Fuling, I really tried my best in this matter. If Jiushang finds out the truth, do you know how serious the consequences will be? Forget about you, even I—”

“What’s that sound?” Halfway through, Consort Dowager Jing suddenly heard movement outside. She ordered someone to check on it.

Before the eunuch could go out, a man in a black robe walked in. He looked at the people in the room expressionlessly. “His Highness has ordered that half of the people on Her Highness the Consort Dowager’s side shall be removed. If there is a next time, no one will be left here.”

Although Consort Dowager Jing did not know who the man in front of her was, she could guess that he was Ye Jiushang’s subordinate. She asked in a panic, “What do you mean?”

“Your Highness, you’re on your own. You must not make the same mistake again, or you’ll have to bear the consequences.” The man did not waste his time. Just as he was about to leave, he noticed Fuling standing beside her. “Even Yu Yuefu is not qualified to be His Highness’s woman. How dare a lowly servant dream about it? You’re really overestimating yourself.”

Fuling was used to following Consort Jing and had long forgotten her identity. She could not react for a moment, nor could she control her emotions. She flew into a rage. “Who do you think you are? How dare you scold me?”

Smack…

“Ah…”
