After days of training, the polo match commenced as scheduled.George sat in the center of the viewing platform with the queen dowager on his right, and the others seated in succession.Richard, ever genial, remarked, "This is the first polo match held in the harem. The queen has truly put in a lot of effort."As he spoke, he frequently glanced at George.George, cold as ice, replied, "Indeed, it's unprecedented. Compared to the virtuous queens of the Foster family throughout history, this is certainly a first."Everyone present could hear the king's discontent toward the queen.To ease the tension, Dina smiled kindly and offered praise. "The queen has a keen mind; this polo match is sure to be extraordinary."George frowned slightly, clearly disagreeing with her remark.Richard refrained from commenting further, silently picking up his glass and taking a sip of wine.The other concubines had little interest in the polo match; they only wished to be closer to the king. Yet, ev

Helena scored repeatedly, and as she rode past Jane, she pulled the reins to a stop."Your Majesty," Helena sneered, "is there no one left in your team who can put up a fight?"Jane's expression remained composed, giving no response.Helena wasn't willing to let it drop. She lowered her voice and taunted, "I know what you're trying to do—propping up Josephine to steal the king's favor, hoping to divert his attention."But really, Wendy, you're such a pathetic queen! You've invested so much in Josephine, yet here she is, crushed beneath my feet. And soon, you'll be the same, groveling at my mercy—just like your mother did that day..."Jane's brows furrowed slightly.Noticing the subtle change, Helena smirked in triumph. "What? You didn't know? After you were abducted, your dear mother came to beg me for mercy. Whatever I commanded, she obeyed—she even knelt to put my shoes on! She was far more sensible than you'll ever be."Jane's grip on the reins tightened, her knuckles turni

Boom!Helena felt like her head had exploded.'No pain medicine? Stitches without anesthesia? Were these quacks trying to kill her with pain? And what was this zynthium extract?'Medicine for headaches… Could it be Wendy? Yes, it was Wendy's fault!The royal physician knelt before George, seeking his decision."Your Majesty, if we delay any longer, Lady Helena will lose too much blood, and her life will be in danger."George's brow furrowed deeply as his gaze fixed on Helena."Stitch her up!""No! Your Majesty…" Tears streamed from Helena's eyes, mixing with the blood on her face.The chief physician instructed the others, "Hold Her Highness down! Don't let her move!"As the physician approached with needle and thread, Helena let out a piercing scream."Stay away! Aah—!"Soon, the tent was filled with the sounds of agonized wails, so harrowing that those outside felt their hair stand on end.The cries carried far and wide.At that moment, Dina was visiting Wendy, checki

The queen faced the king's pressing interrogation head on. Her lips parted slightly."Your Majesty, I wanted to uncover who sought to harm Josephine."George's gaze was sharp and piercing. "Continue," he ordered."I admit I concealed the matter earlier. After discovering the issue with Josephine's safety vest, I intentionally kept quiet to lure the perpetrator out."During the first half of the match, I wasn't focused on polo but instead observing everyone on and off the field."When Josephine's horse lost control, I had anticipated it, which allowed me to save her in time. But Helena's fall was beyond my expectations."Her explanation seemed flawless, leaving no room for doubt.George grew even more convinced that she had risked Josephine to catch the culprit. That was perfectly in line with Wendy's cunning and ruthless nature!Just like before, when she had used medicine for her supposed headache to force him into sharing his favor...However, he was no saint himself. More t

Helena's heart churned with hatred upon realizing she could not use pain relief.'That wretched Wendy! She deliberately gave me compromised medicine for my headache, and now it's causing me to suffer…'Already in unbearable pain, the intense emotional turmoil made Helena's vision darken, and she fainted again."Your Highness!" Clara shouted in alarm.The physicians were all on edge. The miraculous headache remedy had been thoroughly checked by them before being administered to Helena.Yet now, when Helena needed pain relief, they discovered that using it resulted in signs of poisoning. It was only after this that they found out the headache medicine Helena had been using was problematic.After tending to Helena's wounds, the physicians collectively went to seek an audience with the king."Your Majesty, we failed in our examination and have ruined our reputations. We do not deserve to remain in the Royal Medical Bureau!"George's gaze was cold.Failing to detect the zynthium ex
