Substitute Queen's Revenge Chapter 91
At Faith Palace, it was already a quarter past midnight, and yet George still remained alone in the hall. His patience was gradually wearing thin.When he finally saw someone approaching, his tightly furrowed brows eased slightly."Did someone follow you again?" he asked deliberately.Last time she was fifteen minutes late because Luigi from Cloud Palace had been tailing her; she had dealt with that situation, which was understandable. But what about tonight?Jane took out a set of silver needles and spread them out on the table."I was delayed by something," she offered dismissively. Then she got straight to the point. "Please disrobe."George's expression remained cold and sharp as he stared directly at her, his hands unmoving.As Jane turned her back to him to prepare, she glanced back and saw he still looked exactly the same."Why aren't you disrobing?" she asked.George's gaze became even more stern."You've been getting lazier. I've waited for you for forty-five minutes

Coughing, Jane was forced to the ground, her soles leaving a black mark on the floor. She pressed her hand against her throat, trying to dislodge the pill by patting it.However, it was futile.George landed steadily in front of her, his robes billowing in the wind, making him appear enigmatic.His cold gaze fixed on her, his eyes deep like an abyss."I know you possess considerable skills. The Dream Flower poison strikes every ten days. If you administer my treatment on schedule, I will provide you with the antidote on time."Jane's expression was icy."That's unnecessary."She hadn't said she wouldn't treat him; he was simply too skeptical. If it weren't for the stability of Nidora's state, she would never tolerate this! With that, Jane swiftly turned and left Faith Palace.Karlsen attempted to pursue her but was stopped by George."Let her go."She was poisoned now; he wasn't worried about her escaping. But a woman like her exceeded his expectations.She even knew how t

Teressa's sudden return to the palace sent waves of unease throughout the harem.At Serene Palace, Dina appeared especially tense."Why would she return to the palace so suddenly?"Normally when Teressa returned, she would send notice at least half a month in advance, and a ceremonial escort would welcome her on the day of her arrival. But this time, she had come back in such haste, as if there were urgent matters to attend to.Dina couldn't help but wonder if she had done something wrong that had drawn this old harbinger of doom back.Laurel attempted to console her."Your Majesty, please don't worry. It's said that she intends to meet with the queen upon her return. It should have nothing to do with you."Dina focused her thoughts. "According to her usual habits, she rests for a day after returning to the palace before permitting any juniors to pay their respects. It's rare for her to summon anyone on the same day. "Could it truly be directed at Wendy? But how could Wendy ha

Helena's voice rang out sharply."What? You're telling me Teressa is forcing the king to consummate the marriage with that wretch?" Her previously good mood disappeared instantly.The royal servant delivering the news kept his head low, not daring to meet her fury."Your Highness, I heard it personally. Lady Teressa said…""Enough!" Helena cut him off impatiently, unwilling to listen to any more. Her initial shock gave way to deep suspicion.Teressa's return to the palace should have been focused on investigating the queen's rumoured impurity. Why the sudden push to have the king and queen consummate their marriage?Helena's gaze turned icy, her voice laced with venom."I'll ask you again. Did Teressa question the queen about her abduction?"The royal servant shook his head. "I'm not sure. Only a few were inside the inner chamber. From where I stood outside, I couldn't hear the conversation clearly."Hearing this, Helena's face darkened. Panic welled in her chest as she

Jane looked at the items prepared for the consummation ceremony and frowned.This was getting more and more absurdWhat about George? How could he agree to such an arrangement?Alice instructed the royal servants."Set the items down and prepare the queen for her bath.""Yes—"Jane cut in with a steady voice, "Lily alone will attend to me."Alice, confident in her authority under Teressa's orders, adopted a patronizing tone toward Jane."Your Majesty, this is your first time receiving the king's favor. You may not understand the rules of the harem."The ceremonial bath before the consummation is far more intricate than an ordinary one! One person could hardly manage it all. Your Majesty, don't keep the king waiting."With a respectful bow, Alice extended an arm in a 'please proceed' gesture.Jane's eyes were cold, her tone low."Lady Teressa sent you here to ensure the consummation between me and the king. If I'm not pleased, we'll see whether this consummation takes place

Jane took two steps forward, her gaze calm and undisturbed.George put down his book, his face dark, his eyes filled with dissatisfaction."What's this? Didn't Alice teach you how to serve in bed?"Jane remained focused, not wanting to miss any of his expressions. It was clear he didn't want to consummate the marriage either.Suddenly, George grabbed her arm.His fingertips, pressing against her wrist through the fabric, sent a cold, almost destructive, sensation over her body."Afraid of pain?"Jane frowned slightly.Pain? Was it the kind of pain she imagined? Was he really going to listen to Teressa's orders and act like a good grandson?A sense of resistance rose in her, her teeth grinding as she stared directly at him in silence.His handsome face remained impassive. He grabbed her with one hand, and with the other, a dagger appeared.Jane didn't change her expression, but her heart stirred with slight confusion. What did he want with the dagger?In an instant, she reca

Helena almost stood up from her seat.It couldn't be! The king couldn't possibly have favored Wendy!Moreover, the blood on that cloth couldn't possibly be Wendy's virgin blood! She had clearly already lost her purity!Helena had a look of disbelief on her face.But Teressa seemed satisfied and soon allowed Helena to leave.Helena left Longevity Palace, her mind distracted.Clara felt the same way. Had the king and queen really consummated their marriage?But wasn't the queen…Clara instinctively looked at her mistress.Helena's eyes were tinged with a hint of red.Something was wrong! This consummation had to be fake!Helena both refused to believe it and desperately wanted to see the king, to ask him about it in person.-Elsewhere, in Serene Palace, Dina was surprised to hear that the king and queen had consummated their marriage."Is this news reliable?"Laurel nodded repeatedly."Your Majesty, it's true. Lady Teressa sent Alice to oversee the entire process, and th

Inside Zen Palace, new bedding had been laid.Jane stepped out of the bathhouse and changed into her formal attire.Lily brought in hot coffee, her expression full of concern as she asked, "Your Majesty, did you...consummate the marriage?"Jane showed no extra emotion on her face. "You need not ask about this matter."Hearing this, Lily became even more confused, but since her mistress had instructed her not to ask, she refrained from further questioning.Suddenly, a knock came from outside."Your Majesty, Lady Helena wishes to see you!"Lily's heart skipped a beat. "She must be here about your consummation, Your Majesty. Do you wish to see her?"Jane drank the still-hot coffee, feeling some relief in her throat, and then spoke calmly, "Let her in."Inside the hall, it was only Jane and Helena.As soon as Helena saw her, her face twisted in rage, as though she were about to lunge at Jane and tear her apart."Your Majesty, you certainly seem proud of yourself," Helena sneered

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

Lancelot had been particularly idle these past few days.Earlier that day, while eating at a tavern, he had overheard people at the next table plotting to kill the king. Without hesitation, he had scurried over excitedly.Upon learning that a heroic figure like Commander Morris had been killed, he was instantly filled with righteous indignation. Mostly, though, it was because he had heard from Fred and the others that Commander Morris had been Henry's close friend.In that case, he had to do his part.Lancelot prided himself on being loyal and devoted, extending his affections to those his friends cared for.Little did he know that, in that moment in Jane's eyes, he was being utterly foolish.Had his life been too smooth sailing? Was he eager to know what it felt like to have his head hanging by a thread?Seeing Lancelot charging toward her, Jane didn't wait for George to offer her an opening to attack. With one hand pressing down on his shoulder, she delivered a flying kick.T

Karlsen sat there, stunned, unable to believe what he was seeing.The queen was straddling the king's waist, gripping both of his wrists and pinning him against the carriage wall, all the while biting his neck.The posture made it seem like the king was being forced.Karlsen's instinctive reaction was to protect the king. But the moment the queen turned her head, the murderous intent in her eyes made him freeze.For some reason, in that brief instant, his body acted faster than his brain. It made a choice–a choice that ensured his survival.Whoosh!Karlsen decisively dropped the carriage curtain. 'The king must be enjoying this.' He thought, reassuring himself. 'Yes, definitely.'It wasn't just Karlsen. George himself hadn't expected to be overpowered by a woman, especially in such a position.He stared coldly at the woman in front of him. Her hair was a mess, and her lips were red and slightly swollen. There was even a distinct bite mark on her neck from him.Of course, he

George stared straight at Jane before solemnly speaking again."Why don't you ask me whether I have ever favored Helena?"It wasn't as if she didn't know that a woman born without a vaginal opening couldn't consummate a marriage with a man."Your Majesty, this matter has little to do with me," Jane replied honestly. Seeing the sudden chill on his face, she added, "Even a woman with such a condition can still receive favor. So I never doubted anything." Such as, perhaps, whether he was incapable.In an instant, George looked daggers at her."You've been playing the role of Commander Morris for so long that you seem to have learned quite a bit about the affairs between men and women."Jane lowered her gaze indifferently. "Your Majesty, that's high praise."George was speechless. Did she really think he was complimenting her?After a strange silence, George spoke directly."Helena has never shared my bed. The favor I bestowed upon her was because, during those four years, it was

Jane had come with George. She stood outside the door, listening to Helena's shrill screams. She couldn't bear it anymore.Helena was the kind of person who would never repent.At first, she had thought that making Helena suffer the same torment would settle their debts. But now, it seemed that letting Helena go would only plant an even greater disaster. She knew well enough to never underestimate a person's hatred.At that moment, upon hearing that the queen was also present, Helena's emotions surged. She howled furiously."Get out! I only want to see His Majesty! Wretched woman! I'll make His Majesty kill you! If he won't help me, I'll do it myself! I'll never let you–Ahh!"Helena looked down in disbelief at the sword piercing her chest. It happened too fast. She hadn't even seen it coming before she was struck.Forget Helena, even expert fighters like George and Karlsen had failed to stop Jane in time.She had moved as if she had teleported. Karlsen, who was closest to the
