Chapter 648: 648’s most reluctant pain to mention
After Ye Jiu finished telling him about the Princess Consort finding out her identity today, Sikong Mo gently embraced her and comforted her, “Now that she knows, she knows, there’s nothing too serious about it. As for acknowledging or not, it’s all up to you. If you’re unwilling, no one can force you. Jiujiu, the person who should be more worried now is the Princess Consort, not you. She’s the one with something to hold over her head in your hands, not you.”
“But I just feel really uneasy, especially since the War King’s attitude suddenly became very strange today. And there’s my mother, when I went to see her tonight, she said she was sick and didn’t want to see me, but I just feel like she did it on purpose. She doesn’t love me anymore!” Ye Jiu said with a sense of grievance.
“You just said, when you and the Princess Consort were discussing these things, were your mother and the War King actually in the courtyard?” Sikong Mo inquired.
Ye Jiu recalled, “Not exactly in the courtyard. At the time, my mother was sleeping in my room while the War King and Qin Zhou were in the living room—they couldn’t possibly have heard what the Princess Consort and I were saying.”
However, Ye Jiu suddenly remembered, “Right, when I returned, Qin Zhou said something. The War King had just gone out to look for me and the Princess Consort. Do you think, he could have overheard our conversation by any chance?”
Ye Jiu had been doubtful all day, yet she could never be certain in her heart.
If this matter were to be exposed, the first to be plagued by misfortune would be the Princess Consort and the Liu Family, and even Madam Zi Yan wouldn’t end up well. But who could guarantee that the Ye Family wouldn’t be implicated?
After all, the human heart is unpredictable, and moreover, this concerns a major issue involving the imperial lineage.
The thoughts of those in high positions are most difficult to guess. Perhaps they would rather err than admit the mistake, right?
When the time comes, the Ye Family, myself, and Qin Zhou, I’m afraid none of us would be able to extricate ourselves from the situation.
At this moment, Ye Jiu was unaware of Master Yuan Ling’s prophecy.
