Within the Shoreline Pavilion, Brenna, with a discontented expression, sipped her soup, growing more and more uneasy.
Halfway through, her anger got the better of her, and she angrily slammed the bowl onto the ground.
Hearing the commotion, Lilly hurriedly entered and tidied up. "Please calm down, Ms. Mack," she said.
Since Brenna married into the royal household, Rory usually accompanied her during meals. However, today he unexpectedly went to the Serene Pavilion, leaving her feeling deeply dissatisfied.
That woman was becoming increasingly abnormal!
Furthermore, she displayed a complete lack of concern for Rory, as if playing hard to get. Her nauseating tactics were reminiscent of Bailey, making Brenna feel disgusted.
She asked Lilly, "Has anything been heard from his lordship?"
Lilly lowered her voice and said, "His Lordship sent me a message for you. The queen consort has frequently visited Kelsey's house recently, assisting in treating Kelsey's father. The old man has already made significant progress in his recovery."
"What?" Brenna's face changed drastically. "That foolish woman knows medicine? How did I not know about this"
His ferdelig information is never wrong, thelwy that if Kelsey reveals the previous bribes the accepted and the queen consort becomes aware of it, the midge inform the king. Would it have any impact on you, Mo, Mack?"
Brenna's anxiety heightened, If it were anyone else, his lordship wouldn't believe them, but she had witnessed Bailey's silver tongue in action!
Bailey's eloquent and cunning words could potentially shake Rory's beliefs.
Now Rory didn't even accompany her for dinner. It must be that woman's interference.
Lilly consoled, "Please trust his lordship. He has made arrangements to deal with the queen consort. Just wait and see."
"When will he take action?"
Lilly whispered a few words in her ear, and Brenna smiled knowingly.
But then she remembered Balley's persuasive mouth and her medical skills. She couldn't help but worry again. "What if the plot falls?"
"His lordship has a backup plan. Ms. Mack, please rest assured. The queen consort will be completely discredited. His lordship has devised a foolproof strategy to ensure she can never hold her head high again."
Brenna asked with delight, "What's the plan?"
"The queen consort, if fortunate enough to survive until the day of the grand wedding, will undoubtedly suffer a calamity from which she can never recover, forever unable to regain her former glory!"
On the day of the grand wedding, huh?
That night, Bailey finished her evening routine and climbed into bed.
Suddenly, Meghan burst into the room, shouting, "Your Highness, something terrible has happened!"
Meghan, usually composed, wouldn't be this frantic without a severe matter at hand.
Upon hearing the shout, Chloe woke up and quickly got out of bed. She listened as Meghan reported, "It's Kelsey. She went to the magistrate's office and accused you of killing her father!"
"How is that possible?"
Setting aside everything else, Bailey had confidence in her medical skills.
After days of treatment, the old man's condition had greatly improved. Could it be that someone intentionally tampered with it?
In a cold voice, she asked, "Where is Kelsey now?"
In the courtyard of the palace, Rory had also been disturbed.
As Balley went out, she saw him standing in the courtyard, his face unusually grim.
Kelsey was crying and pleading outside the magistrate's office, accusing the queen consort of taking lives callously.
The entire city was now aware of the matter. The governor had even brought soldiers and surrounded the palace.
Cases of noble abuse against commoners were not unheard of, and the emperor had previously expressed his anger, warning that even if a prince committed murder, they would face the same punishment as commoners.
Now that Bailey had been reported to the magistrate by Kelsey, the governor of the kingdom wouldn't dare to take it lightly.
Kneeling on the ground, Kelsey tearfully recounted, "My father was already seriously ill, with no hope for a cure. However, the queen consort insisted on administering the medication. I didn't dare to stop her and allowed her to proceed. But as soon as she left, my father coughed up blood, his face turned blue, and he passed away instantly!"
