Tyrannical Wang's Beloved Wife

Chapter 559: Unexpected

Right now, he appeared fine, but in reality, his nerves were already stretched to the extreme. That thread, the reason why it still hasn’t snapped was because he was forcibly enduring, because he was very clear, at this time right now, if he were to go mad, if he were to lose his rationality, the aftermath would just be even worse. Towards Jing Wan, there won’t be the slightest benefit, and instead, it would let certain people easily get what they want.

That’s why, he was calm and collected, going neither too fast nor too slow, just like when things reach an extreme, they can only go in the opposite direction. If a step faster, then it will just mess up the tempo, and he will lose control.

But, no one knows how long he can maintain his current state, further not knowing if this something sleep gu can’t be cured in the end, what he will do.

And regardless of the outcome, for him, it was ultimately either Jing Wan coming out unscathed, and that thread relaxing, or it was just directly snapping. However, regardless of which, the damage towards his body certainly won’t be small.

Gong mama although very much disliked some of his methods, she ultimately had watched him grow up, and he was the only child of the Imperial Noble Consort. To say she didn’t worry for him in the slightest was absolutely a lie.

Additionally, wangfei lately very rarely went out, and when going out, she also for the most part didn’t come in contact with any outsiders, yet she got inflicted with the sleep gu, so it certainly must be the manor’s interior having problems. On this bit, Gong mama also very much blamed herself.

The Gong mama at this time, that was just the former shadow guard thoroughly returning.

Because the guards of the manor were all relaxed on the outside but tight on the inside, on this bit, Gong mama was still reassured. As for the other servants in the manor, especially the ones that will come in contact with Jing Wan’s matters, regardless whether it’s directly or indirectly, although on the surface, it appears to be Jing Wan’s wet nurse supervising, but Gong mama has always secretly looked over as well. Whenever discovering something wrong or dissatisfactory, all will be dismissed and replaced.

Yet in the end, they were still careless? Gong mama didn’t dare to be certain.

However, when taking action, she was swift and decisive, her methods strict, starting from the people by Jing Wan’s side, including Jing Wan’s wet nurse, combing through one by one. There was no sentiments to speak of, and so long as there’s something slightly off, it was just severely punishing, absolutely no toleration.

While Gong mama was in charge of the manor’s interior, the shadow guards were in charge of the outside. All in all, can’t overlook any clue.

While Gong Jiu was completely helpless towards the gu, to not have the source investigated clearly, they naturally won’t be able to find a way to resolve.

In reality, they were all very clear that this matter will a hundred percent have a follow-up. No one would poison wangfei with gu for no reason. Moreover, gu, this kind of thing, simply didn’t exist in Qi Yuan. To say it arrogantly, in Qi Yuan, if something strange and peculiar really were to appear, then it would be impossible to not get discovered by Li Hong Yuan, and afterwards, get controlled by him.

From this, it can be seen that the possibility of it being other princes really was very small, and for the most part, can be ruled out. Moreover, if they were to know Li Hong Yuan’s actual situation, then what they would actually do was think of every way to have this matter exposed before Le Cheng Emperor, and not use this kind of roundabout way to target Jing Wan. In their understanding, Le Cheng Emperor was someone that can dictate their everything. As long as that imperial father have the person pressed down, then there absolutely will be no leeway to climb up again.

They’d just learned from Changping Marchioness’s body the existence of gu, and Yao Rao clearly was also aware, then what kind of person did it, for the most part, it was already very clear. However, even so, the things that should be investigated still need to be investigated, needing to know ‘the mastermind behind the scenes’, and further needing to know who the mole was. Especially when unable to directly catch the mastermind, this mole further need to be dragged out and thoroughly crush to death.

Reality proved that the people of Jin Qinwang Manor indeed were capable.

Through this thorough search, some with small problems all got directly taken care of cleanly, and the most likely person to have poisoned Jing Wan with gu also got found. Can only say, things were very surprising. It can be completely described as unimaginable.

TN: All

Qing Ju kneeled before Li Hong Yuan, softly sobbing, her body uncontrollably trembling nonstop. Her entire person was filled with an air of remorse.

And next to her was another person, a man, Jin Qinwang Manor’s male acting troupe’s ‘troupe leader’, Qing Yi, a man that appeared refined and delicate, yet this while, just had half a life left, completely limp on the ground, even though on the surface, there wasn’t the slightest scar, further not having any blood.

Ever since Li Hong Yuan returned and held Jing Wan, aside from going to the cleaning room, he just hasn’t let go of her.

Back then, when Li Hong Yuan went with Jing Wan to the northwest, only Gong mama and Hei Mei followed by their side. During this period of time, the people of the manor were all relatively free, especially the people of the main courtyard. Perhaps Qing Yi had intentionally approached, or perhaps Qing Ju had inadvertently fallen in love, in any case, Qing Ju, this carefree and easygoing person, who in the past had never thought of marrying, secretly ended up with Qing Yi.

Reasonably speaking, even if the other party was a performer, he was ultimately raised in the manor, so if really sharing mutual feelings with Qing Ju, Jing Wan certainly would approve of them. But, in reality, not only Jing Wan, turns out, in the entire manor, no knew that they’d dealings in private. This clearly just had problems.

Even if very rarely meeting, but to want to not get discovered, it was absolutely needing to be careful every time meeting. Besides, it wasn’t some secret matter that absolutely can’t be said, and Qing Ju normally wasn’t able to keep secrets, but Qing Yi just had her convinced. Moreover, Qing Yi’s excuse was also quite simple. He was a performer. Even if Qing Ju was also of the slave class, she was still the first rank servant girl by wangfei’s side. Once released, changing her household register, many people will all fight to marry her. He wasn’t worthy of her………..

A very simple excuse, yet he was eloquent with his words, and all this time, Qing Ju really didn’t show any signs.

No, perhaps there were signs, just it wasn’t obvious. Moreover, she was the happy-go-lucky type to begin with, so being in a joyful mood all day was very normal. Moreover, in everyone’s eyes, if she really had someone she liked, she won’t hide it.

Something that everyone was accustomed to getting overlooked was very normal.

———-Qing Yi perhaps had also grasped this bit, thus would pick Qing Ju.

———-And this indeed can be considered Gong mama and them being careless. This guilt, they were unable to escape from.

Just, perhaps the only thing worth rejoicing was that this gu wasn’t voluntarily placed by Qing Ju, but rather unintentionally becoming Qing Yi’s accomplice. However, the problem now was that even Qing Yi didn’t know what that was.

Qing Yi was a spy that got arranged in Jin Qinwang Manor very early, but he has always known his place, just being a normal performer, not inquiring anything, and his background was also clear. For a spy, he was quite lacking, even the kind that was very unremarkable. However, it was precisely this kind of person that gave the living Enma a fatal blow at a crucial time.

To fall head first in the hands of a nobody, how laughable. However, right now, no one was able to laugh.

Qing Yi was just a spy that didn’t know anything, not knowing who his master was. He was just the person that acted at a crucial time. Aside from this, he didn’t know anything at all.
