Chapter 135 Being framed
Yin Qianqian couldn't help but say, "Thank you, Your Highness."
Then she thought of something and said hesitantly, "Your Highness, I have another request. I wonder if Your Highness can help me."
The prince almost laughed out of anger. Was he some kind of enemy or a wishing tree? He was still begging for more.
He wanted to see what else this woman could say.
"Oh? What's your request? Tell me!"
"Your Highness should have heard that His Highness Prince Rui has a favorite concubine named An Muxi, right? Now this woman is the only one favored by Prince Rui. If I don't get rid of her, how can I feel at ease to enter Prince Rui's mansion?"
"So, you want me to help you get rid of her?"
Yin Qianqian said: "I have thought of a way, but I need your help."
The prince was unhappy. How could this woman be so sure that he would help her? But he still patiently asked, "How can I help you? Just tell me."
Three days passed in a flash, and on the day of the Lantern Festival, An Muxi did not expect that she had also received an invitation to the palace banquet. She no longer liked going to the palace now, as that place was full of filth and filled with too much gossip.
But since she received the invitation, she had to go, otherwise it would be disrespectful to the royal family. So she got on Lu Qingxue's carriage and went together. Li Rui also went alone in a carriage this time.
Soon the two carriages arrived at the gate of the palace, and then another carriage also arrived at the gate.
Yin Qianqian, wearing a rose-red skirt embroidered with peony patterns, got off the carriage. She seemed to like red particularly, but she didn't dare to wear bright red when entering the palace today.
When Li Rui saw Yin Qianqian, he snorted coldly, then got into the sedan and left.
Yin Qianqian wanted to go up and say hello, but all she got was a handsome slap on the back of her head.
She looked at Lu Qingxue and An Muxi again and greeted them with a smile: "Sister Xueer, Sister Xier, you are here too? What a coincidence."
Lu Qingxue said calmly: "I don't deserve to be called your sister. We are not familiar with each other."
Yin Qianqian knew that Lu Qingxue and the others knew that she had drugged Li Rui, and she felt a little guilty, but after today she could enter Prince Rui's Mansion with a clear conscience.
Then I'll slap them in the face.
She looked at An Muxi meaningfully, and a look of jealousy flashed across her face.
An Muxi found it quite baffling. Why did that woman look at her like that?
It seems that he has never offended her? That look is not friendly.
At this time, Lu Qingxue saw eunuch Xiao Shunzi coming over with two sedan chairs, so she pulled An Muxi into the sedan chair and left.
Yin Qianqian was extremely angry. Why did the concubines all have sedan chairs to ride in, but she had to walk in by herself?
Just wait, after tonight's palace banquet, there will no longer be a concubine named An in Prince Rui's mansion.
The atmosphere of today's palace banquet is good. After the banquet, you can go to see the lanterns in the imperial garden.
You can also guess lantern riddles and win prizes if you guess them correctly. This is the favorite part of many young people during the Lantern Festival.
Thinking of Yin Qianqian's eyes just now, An Muxi still instructed Qiu Shuang and Qiu Yue to keep an eye on the woman so that she wouldn't cause trouble for herself.
Halfway through the banquet, there was nothing special as usual, except for an opportunity for some noble ladies to show off their talents.
I thought the banquet was going to end smoothly. At the end, Lian Rui, the queen's maid, hurriedly walked up to the queen and whispered something in her ear.
The queen's face changed, and then she said to the emperor angrily: "Your Majesty, someone wants to harm me!"
Emperor Tiansheng was in a good mood watching the performance, but when he suddenly heard the Queen say that, he looked at her in surprise, it seemed like nothing happened.
"What's going on? Who is so bold as to hurt you?!"
The queen glanced coldly at Li Rui and said, "Prince Rui sent me a few bottles of skin care products a few days ago, but I am used to the skin care products made by the emperor in the palace, so I gave those bottles to Aunt Fang.
But just now Lianrui said that Aunt Fang's face was red and swollen with blisters, and she was unconscious."
When Emperor Tiansheng heard what the Queen meant, didn't she mean that Li Rui wanted to murder her?
Li Rui looked at the queen coldly, not knowing whether she was trying to frame him or Xier by doing this suddenly.
The items were given by myself, but Xier's beauty store is now well-known, and everyone knows that the skin care products were produced by Xier's store.
If the matter is to be investigated, Xier will definitely be punished, and murdering the queen is a serious crime.
Before the emperor could speak, Lipin also stood up and said, "Your Majesty, I also got a lot of rashes on my face after using that skin care product."
After saying that, she took off the veil on her face, and sure enough, her face was covered with red rashes, which looked a bit scary.
The performance on the field stopped and it became quiet instantly.
Many female members of the royal family heard that His Royal Highness Prince Rui gave a lot of products to the ladies in the palace in order to help his favorite concubine sell products.
I didn't expect this to happen.
Some who have already bought it are worried, is there really something wrong with this skin care product? The price is not low, who would dare to use it?
Yin Qianqian looked at the people at the top excitedly. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was quite supportive. After something like this happened, Li Rui would only receive a minor punishment at most.
The skin care products were made by An Muxi. If it is confirmed that An Muxi murdered the queen, her life will definitely be in danger!
There was someone who was even more excited than her. Bai Yueli didn't expect to see such a big drama as soon as she arrived today. It seemed that An Muxi had brought disaster upon herself without her having to do anything, and she even dared to murder the queen.
An Muxi's face was also a little ugly. How could her beauty store continue to operate after the Queen and Lipin made such a fuss? Reverse publicity was the most deadly!
No, is it time to care about the beauty store now? An Muxi admired her own mentality. Why did she think about the store's business first?
If you attempt to murder the queen, you will lose your head!
Although she knew very well that her raw materials were selected and strictly controlled by herself, she could not resist the thought that someone was trying to frame her.
Now we can only deal with it as it comes.
Seeing that Concubine Li also came to join in the fun, Li Rui's face turned cold. Doesn't she want to be a mother and son anymore?
Emperor Tiansheng was obviously not so confused as to convict someone based on just a few words. He looked at Li Rui and asked, "Rui'er, is what your mother said true?"
In his heart, he still believed that Li Rui would not do such a thing.
Li Rui stood up and looked at Emperor Tiansheng, still looking calm: "Your Majesty, I did give a few bottles of skin care products to my mother, but I definitely did not do anything to murder her. Please be clear about this."
The queen said in a bad tone: "You sent the things. Fortunately, I didn't use them, otherwise I would be unconscious now. How dare you say you didn't murder me!"
At this time, the prince spoke up: "Mother, I heard that this skin care product was made by Concubine An in the residence of the third prince. Maybe he doesn't know about it?"
His purpose today was just to kill An Muxi. The emperor couldn't believe that Li Rui did it, so Li Rui would definitely be fine. It would be better to bite An Muxi to death directly.
Li Rui looked over with a cold light that seemed to be real, which startled the prince. He seemed to sense the murderous intent.
He wasn't that angry when Li Rui murdered the queen, but he was not that angry when it came to An Muxi.
It seems that this prince has lived a comfortable life for too long.
After the prince's reminder, the queen finally reacted and could only follow what he said.
"Yes! Since it wasn't Rui'er who did it, it must have been done by that concubine An."
