?Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Even Wanting Her Dead Chapter 425: Chapter 425: Even Wanting Her Dead Consort Jing clenched the handkerchief tightly; although her face revealed nothing, the gold-threaded handkerchief had already been hooked through by her nails, creating several holes.
After a while, she smiled and said, “Since Your Majesty does not fancy listening to operas, Consort Yun, perhaps we should forgo this last performance. I will have someone dismiss the troupe early from the palace to prevent their rehearsal from accidentally disturbing Your Majesty.”
Consort Yun showed a look of regret but did not insist; she nodded and said, “Consort Jing, you are indeed thoughtful.”
As soon as Consort Yun left, the teacup by Consort Jing’s side was heavily smashed to the ground.
Su Jin dismissed the other palace maids and cautiously approached, “Your Majesty, you did the right thing just now. I suspect that Consort Yun might have sensed something and wants to frame you. She is in league with Princess Consort Ling, and naturally, they share the same motive as Consort Qi. Her recent attempts to get close to you must be problematic.”
If she had agreed to Consort Yun’s request and allowed the troupe to perform the last play, who knows what might have happened.
Consort Jing narrowed her eyes, “Su Jin, are you saying that Consort Yun might have already discovered something? Was my act too obvious?”
“Not at all, Your Majesty. It was not obvious. But Consort Yun and Consort Qi are both from Prince Ling’s faction. They probably hope for you to make a mistake. I guess they might want to frame you and make the Third Prince disliked by His Majesty. That must be their aim. Now, as the prestige of the Third Prince grows, Prince Ling’s faction must be getting desperate.”
“Such vicious scheming! I have never done anything to them, yet now they plot against me!”
Enraged, Consort Jing tore the handkerchief in her hands to shreds.
