463 Snitch on Her Son
“Can we put them in your space?” he asked.
An Jiuyue nodded.
She was worried about leaving the two children in the capital. It was better to keep them inside her space.
She would let them train if there was no danger on Huayan Peak. And if there were, they would stay in her space and play.
“You still have something to do, right? I’ll go back first.”
She stood up and left the study. Qian Jiyun watched her leave and heaved a sigh of relief.
He only got through this easily because An Jiuyue did not want to argue with him. After all, he had relied on those two little ones to stay at her house.
“Come out.”
He narrowed his eyes as he glanced out of the study.
Yan Shen walked in and cupped his fists at him.
“Master, there’s news from the Prince Sui Residence. Consort Wen has returned to the palace.”
“She moved fast.” Qian Jiyun chuckled.
The Emperor already detested Consort Wen. How could she return to the palace so quickly?
She definitely had someone supporting her, and they were probably the same people behind Xue Yingyue.
How many people in the palace were not being watched by those in the shadows?
“What about Prince Sui?” he asked.
“Prince Sui hasn’t done anything since the last time he came to your residence and was reprimanded by the Emperor. He hasn’t even seen Consort Wen in the past few days,” Yan Shen replied.
Honestly, he, too, would not want to see his mother if he were in his position.
Prince Sui had barely left his residence and had not even arrived at the Prince Zhan Yun Residence when Consort Wen sent someone into the palace to report to the Emperor.
Who would be happy to see a mother who would even snitch on her own son?
Prince Sui was probably avoiding Consort Wen as he would a snake or scorpion.
Meanwhile, Consort Wen was unaware of what she had done. She believed she was doing everything for her son’s sake and that it would keep him from going astray.
But in everyone’s eyes, Consort Wen was only doing this for herself.
Concubines plotted against one another and betrayed their own sons to please the Emperor and return to the imperial harem to follow the Empress.
“Prince Sui’s arm still hurts every day, but Consort Wen and the guards in the Prince Sui Residence don’t know about this. Only a few of Prince Sui’s trusted servants know.”
Therefore, the Emperor was unaware that Prince Sui’s body had not been detoxified and assumed he had recovered.
Since he believed Prince Sui had recovered, he could not use him for anything else. Consort Wen had no reason to stay at the Prince Sui Residence any longer. He could only allow her to return to the imperial harem’s quarters.
However, the Emperor overestimated Consort Wen. He thought she would take revenge on Qian Jiyun for her son at all costs.
But this woman only cared about herself. She reported everything in the Prince Sui residence to the Emperor, destroying the mother-son relationship so she could return to the palace.
“He didn’t find a pharmacist?” Qian Jiyun asked.
“He didn’t.” Yan Shen shook his head. He sympathized with Prince Sui.
His mother kept such a close eye on him that he did not dare look for a pharmacist or poison master. He would rather suffer for two hours every day.
“He probably didn’t dare look for one. Consort Wen’s people are keeping a close eye on him. If Prince Sui sent someone to look for a pharmacist, Consort Wen and the Emperor would undoubtedly find out.”
“What a pitiful person,” Qian Jiyun said with a smile.
