Substitute Queen's Revenge Chapter 277
Robin confessed without further pressure.George's cold and sharp expression darkened. Teressa was even more furious."You scoundrel!" she shouted. "You deceived the late king and went to great lengths just to get your daughter into the palace as queen. You deserve to be cut into a thousand pieces!"A faint smile quickly appeared on Rachel's face. Robin was such a coward. If he was so afraid of death, he shouldn't have resorted to such deceitful tricks in the first place.Robin knelt on the ground, trembling."Your Majesty, it was all my doing alone. No one else knew about this, especially the queen. The queen had absolutely no idea."Teressa was intolerant of deceit."Your Majesty, don't listen to his nonsense!" she said. "The queen must have known about this! Even if she truly didn't, she should still be held accountable!"Hearing this, Robin lifted his head in a frenzy."No! The queen did nothing wrong! I raised her with great care since she was a child. I only wanted to se

The queen was pregnant.No one could be happier than Robin. He had waited so long, wished for this moment for so long, and finally, Jane was with child.He almost forgot his current predicament, grinning foolishly, unable to contain his joy.Rachel stood stiffly, the king's words replaying in her mind over and over. She never would have imagined that Wendy would conceive.Teressa couldn't take the shock and collapsed into a chair. The maid beside her hurriedly supported her."Lady Teressa!"Teressa quickly recovered and waved the maid away. Then, she turned to George and pressed him."When did this happen? Don't try to deceive me. You haven't laid a hand on the queen in all this time. How could she be pregnant?"George showed no sign of guilt. "It happened at the royal ancestral temple. It was not noted in the court records.""The royal ancestral temple?" Teressa felt a tightness in her chest, almost unable to breathe. She raised a trembling finger at George. "You are the king

Teressa was so furious at George that she couldn't speak for a long time.The tampering of the oracle records was such a serious matter, yet the king was willing to let it go? He had never been such a merciful person.Jane pursed her lips. She understood that George was doing this for the dignity of the royal family. For a king to be manipulated so thoroughly by a mere minister, it was indeed disgraceful.George spoke again."Most importantly, I am not like the late king. I have never believed in those oracle records."Teressa was both physically and mentally exhausted. The moment George finished speaking, she suddenly fainted.Perhaps it was better this way–out of sight, out of mind.-Teressa was carried into the inner chamber for treatment after she passed out suddenly. Fortunately, it was nothing serious. The physician said it was just a sudden surge of anger overwhelming her.When she woke up, George went to see her.At that moment, Teressa looked extremely weary. She on

The beaded curtains clinked together.George threw Jane onto the bed, uncaringly pressing against her, grabbing her arms and pinning them beside her head. He hovered above her, looking down with disdain, as if she were nothing more than prey ready to be eaten.He watched her struggle, unable to reveal her martial abilities. He saw her face shift from pale to flushed, her breath growing erratic and fast.Jane struggled fiercely but dared not use her full strength. She had never felt so humiliated. Pinned down by a man, unable to move. Her arms were pressed down, leaving her upper body powerless. Before long, fine sweat formed on her forehead.George's eyes sparkled. He felt as if a flame was ignited near his waist and abdomen.His gaze, like that of a starving wolf, pierced through her.His Adam's apple bobbed up and down, and his desire grew more unbearable. He gave her no chance to catch her breath. Suddenly, his lips pressed down.Using brute force, his tongue pressed apart

Inside Tyrian Palace, the king shattered a tall, sturdy screen into pieces with a single blow of his hand.Steven stood outside the cedarwood door, not daring to enter. He had no idea what had caused George's fury. He had heard that Wendy was pregnant. Wasn't that supposed to be good news?But seeing George's reaction, he couldn't help but wonder–could it be that Wendy's child didn't belong to George? He couldn't think of any other reason George would be so angry.-At Nimble Palace, Wilhelmina dropped what she was holding to the floor. Her face was full of shock and sorrow."Is Queen Wendy pregnant?"Mia hurriedly nodded. "Yes, Your Highness. The entire palace knows about it by now."Wilhelmina almost bit her lip in frustration."So soon. How could it happen so soon? I thought King George never spent another night with her again!""No one dares to discuss this, but I think it must have happened at the royal ancestral temple," Mia said."Enough!" Wilhelmina's jealousy lit a f

Jocelyn sat in her room, the candlelight casting shadows across her face, making her look all the more sinister. The fact that Jane and George were truly in love had surprised her. She had never imagined Jane would become pregnant.Rachel was so useless.Jocelyn had handed such an important piece of leverage to her, intending for her to use it against Jane. Yet there had been no progress at all. Could she still be doubting the authenticity of the matter?What Jocelyn didn't know was that Rachel had already informed Teressa about it. However, because the queen was with child, the entire matter had been ignored.-At Fragrant Palace, Rachel sat in gloom, her heart heavy with frustration. The confidence she had before entering the palace had been utterly shattered, leaving her in a state of defeat.Aurelia stood beside her, not daring to utter a word.Rachel truly couldn't understand this. George had been devoted to Rosalie for so long. How could he now favor the queen instead?

Jane retrieved a letter.Rachel's gaze followed it closely."See for yourself," Jane said coldly.Rachel stepped forward cautiously and opened the letter. Inside were indeed pieces of evidence incriminating her father.Her mind was in turmoil, but she forced herself to stay calm. She carefully put the letter back where it was and returned to her seat. Her thoughts were all over the place.This letter could have been forged. But she had already made one mistake, one that had cost her brother his life. She couldn't just stand by and let something happen to her father.Rachel was about to speak when she suddenly saw the queen place the letter over the oil lamp. As the flame caught the corner of the paper, it quickly spread, reducing the letter to ashes.Rachel was stunned. Without thinking, she shot to her feet."Your Majesty!"She couldn't understand what the queen was trying to do.Jane watched the letter burn to nothing, then cast a calm glance at her. "I won't hide it from y

Jane stepped out from behind the bed curtains. She had been waiting for this moment. With a swift motion, she raised her sword, the cold blade pressing against the intruder's throat.The mysterious figure stiffened in shock. They clearly hadn't expected an ambush.The room was shrouded in darkness, with no lamps lit. Jane held a fire starter in one hand. With a single breath, she ignited the flame, then tossed it aside, precisely lighting an oil lamp on the wall.Light flickered through the chamber.The intruder made a move to fight back, but Jane pressed the blade closer, a thin line of blood appearing on their neck. Her voice was icy."You can't beat me, Jocelyn."Underneath the mask, Jocelyn pursed her lips tightly together.Jane had hoped–countless times–that she would be wrong. But now, looking into those familiar eyes, her heart turned cold.Jocelyn was skilled in disguise, but she had never mastered altering the appearance of her eyes. Jane recognized them instantly.He

Jane never told George that Darren had died for her. The Thiberium poisoning had been meant for her. Darren had taken it in her place.She also never told George that Darren had already given her the Miracle Needles manual. At the time, she had been too busy waging war and had only learned half of it. So when he was poisoned, even though she hastily studied the rest, she still couldn't save him in time.Because of this, she could never forgive herself.That night, many struggled to sleep.George and the royal guards practiced combat through the night. The guards were miserable.Rachel lay awake until dawn, unable to calm her excitement about leaving the palace with the king the next day.The next morning, by the break of dawn, Rachel was already dressed and had prepared the offerings.The guards assigned to escort her had the carriage ready. When a concubine left the palace, she had to use the side gate.Rachel, however, didn't get into the carriage right away. Instead, she ask

In the evening, at Tyrian Palace, George was about to settle down for the night when he noticed that Jane was still reading.He walked over. "Is that book really so fascinating?"Jane didn't even look up."I've sent people to investigate the purchase records of floral brocade in recent years. While waiting, I thought I'd search for clues about that nine-tailed serpent motif."George snatched the book from her hands, forcing her to raise her head and look at him. "It could just be an ordinary design.""Perhaps." Jane reached for the book, but he spoke again."There's a military physician in the Northern Battalion with the last name Durand. Was he the one who taught you Miracle Needles?"Jane's gaze subtly shifted.Growing impatient, George pressed further. "I want the truth. Was it him?"Jane's expression was cold and detached. "Yes."A storm brewed within George.The Durand family never passed down the Miracle Needles technique to outsiders—only their own bloodline. That mea

There were screams from within the palace."You scoundrel! Who's sick? Who are you calling delirious? I'm perfectly fine! Ahh! What are you doing!"Since Mary was struggling so violently, Dina had no choice but to order her to be restrained. A moment later, Mary was tied to the bed, thrashing wildly as she shouted toward the door where Dina stood."Mother! Save me!"Dina couldn't help but feel a pang of heartache. "Mary, I'm only helping you."Mary was utterly baffled. She had just been quietly embroidering a fragrant pouch, yet her mother suddenly thought she was ill."The queen. Get the queen!" Mary barked at Irene.Wilhelmina, who stood right beside Dina, felt a chill run down her spine.Why call for the queen? Could Mary really have lost her mind?–At Zen Palace, Jane was flipping through ancient texts, searching for any records of the nine-tailed serpent motif.Suddenly, Maya rushed into the inner chamber. She seemed out of breath."Your Majesty! Something terrible ha

"I only heard that Commander Morris was quite close to a military physician, and there were even rumors of an intimate relationship." At this point, Richard hesitated before adding, "But I believe those were baseless rumors. It was most likely just camaraderie between comrades."George's expression turned unusually serious."What is the physician's name, and where is he now?""I only recall that his surname was Durand."'Durand?'George immediately thought of the Miracle Needles. That physician was likely a descendant of the Durand family.Richard had no idea why the king was asking about this, so he returned to the main topic."Your Majesty, since Jocelyn is not the true Commander Morris, why have you not made this public?"George's gaze turned dark."I have my own plans."Right now, all he could think about was that military physician with the surname Durand.–Outside the royal study, Karlsen saw Richard step out and greeted him respectfully.Karlsen's face was expressi

At Grace Palace, Rachel sat in front of the mirror. Her gaze was slightly empty. Aurelia couldn't bear to see her like this."Your Highness, it's getting late."The king not coming didn't mean she should refuse to sleep.Rachel murmured softly, "Yes, it's late."Was the queen accompanying the king at this hour?She used to console herself with the thought that perhaps the queen, like her, was nothing more than a facade to deceive others and had never truly shared the king's bed.But if that were true, why would the king summon her to Tyrian Palace? Even Rosalie had rarely set foot there in the past. This proved that the king truly favored the queen.Then what was she?She had exhausted every means at her disposal, yet she couldn't make the king spare her even a glance.Tonight was destined to be a sleepless one.-The next day, during the court session, ministers were still debating over Jocelyn's death."Your Majesty, Commander Morris held great prestige among the people.

Jane proposed making the truth public to prevent the people from continuing to misunderstand. However, George's gaze was extremely cold."There's no need."Now, it was her turn to be confused. Between two difficult choices, one should choose the lesser evil. As a king, did he not understand this?George was very serious."If we expose that Jocelyn is an impostor, the Morris family won't escape punishment. Neither will the tens of thousands of Northern Battalion soldiers."Even if those soldiers were unaware of the truth, people could always find an excuse to accuse them. If that happened and someone with ulterior motives took advantage of the situation, the entire Northern Battalion would be thrown into chaos.By keeping this secret, he could still protect the Morris family and those soldiers.If the truth was revealed, he would have to handle the matter impartially. Otherwise, his authority would be compromised.Jane said nothing.In her heart, she naturally leaned toward her

George saw a light in her eyes that he had never seen before.The surroundings were silent. It was as if, as long as she looked at him like this, he could agree to anything.But he was not so easily swayed.After only a brief moment of distraction, he quickly regained his usual cold and imposing demeanor and spoke in a steady tone."In the second year of my reign, the allied forces of four nations attacked Nidora. I led the army into battle. After the war ended, I returned to the capital, passing through a misty forest on the way. There was an ambush in that forest."While fighting off the assassins, one masked individual released a creature that resembled a salamander. I was bitten by it and poisoned. Only later did I learn that it was Thiberium poisoning."Jane was well aware that Thiberium poisoning involved raising salamanders and feeding them a specially prepared poison daily. Over time, the creatures would absorb the toxins and become what was known as Thiberium, naturally

Mary was feeling guilty. Jocelyn had managed to escape from prison thanks to the Falcon Command Token she had secretly delivered to her. She had known the truth would come to light sooner or later, but she hadn't expected it to be this soon.Even more surprising was that after questioning her for a while, George suddenly stopped. Instead, he changed the subject and solemnly warned her."Mary, I can choose not to punish you for this matter, but from now on, stay away from Zen Palace."Mary's fists clenched involuntarily. She met George's gaze, refusing to back down, and smiled."Your Majesty, you've been on the throne for seven years now, yet you still have no heirs. That's quite unusual, isn't it? I heard from Grandmother that you've decided not to favor the harem unless the queen bears an heir?"Forgive me for speaking out of turn, but over the years, you've shown favor to Lady Rosalie and Lady Helena, and even spent nights with Rachel. Yet none of them have conceived. So why do

Mary stared blankly at the person before her.The queen was actually Commander Morris who had saved her all those years ago.Good heavens! What had she been doing all this time?She had actually believed Jocelyn and gone against the queen at every turn. She had even exposed the queen's marriage substitution.For the sake of Jocelyn, an impostor, she had nearly caused the death of her true savior.At this moment, Mary was filled with regret and remorse.Jane lowered her gaze to the bracelet on her wrist and sensed something was off.Their eyes met suddenly. Mary's gaze was emotional, her voice trembling. "You–"She had countless things to say, but she didn't know where to start."Commander, I personally measured your wrist for this bracelet. Now, do you still wish to deny it?" Mary gazed at her intently.Jane's brows furrowed slightly. "Princess–"Mary interrupted her. "I was a fool. I conspired with Jocelyn and went against you at every turn. It's only natural that you bla
