Chapter 256 Lin Ming's Chapter Before Departure
Hearing this, Lin Ming shuddered and suddenly knelt on the ground.
"My queen, the late emperor has told me not to say anything, so please don't embarrass me."
Lin Ming's sudden action made Luo Nianxi even more suspicious.
Could it be that there was really a reason why the late emperor suddenly passed away?
She took two steps forward and helped Lin Ming up.
"Eunuch Lin, the late emperor died suddenly, which not only surprised the emperor, but also caused panic among the ministers. Now some people even suspect that it was the emperor's fault. So, I hope you can tell the truth. If there is anything unspeakable, I will also advise the emperor to handle it carefully."
Lin Ming's forehead tightened a few times. If someone really blamed the emperor for the death of the late emperor, and he knew about it but did not report it, he would not feel at ease even if he returned to his hometown.
Thinking of this, he sighed softly.
"Since the queen asked, I will tell you the truth. Please convey it to the emperor!"
Eunuch Lin's expression was very heavy, as if the words he was about to say were as big as the sky.
Luo Nianxi frowned slightly and listened patiently.
"Originally, the late emperor had taken your medicine and was in good health. He was planning to reward you generously, but that night, Princess Rumin came and brought the emperor some side dishes that she had made herself. She had not left her bedroom since Concubine Xian died. This time she took the initiative to come and see the emperor. The emperor was very happy and sat down to dine with her. During the meal, he also drank some wine."
At this point, Lin Ming suddenly gasped and looked terrified.
"But who could have thought that the Emperor would fall ill right after Princess Rumin left? I called the imperial physician, but he could not find out the cause of the illness. The Emperor tossed and turned all night. Before notifying you, the Emperor called me over and told me not to tell anyone that Princess Rumin had brought him food. Even if someone found out, I would have to testify that this incident had nothing to do with Princess Rumin."
Before he could finish his words, he suddenly knelt on his knees.
"Empress, I just told you the truth about what happened. This matter has nothing to do with Princess Rumin. I hope you can explain it to the emperor."
Of course she understood what Lin Ming meant. The late emperor asked him not to mention to anyone that his death was related to Leng Rumin. It was obvious that he wanted to protect Leng Rumin.
Luo Nianxi nodded slightly.
"I understand. I will tell the emperor about this matter."
"Thank you, Madam. Please tell the Emperor that I am ill and cannot continue to serve him. I will leave now."
It seems that he has had this idea for a long time, or he has made up his mind to leave, and there is probably no point in staying.
She nodded in agreement.
"I'll ask Bai Lan to send you some money later..."
"I have followed the emperor for many years. The reward from the emperor is enough for me to have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of my life. Thank you for your kindness."
Seeing that he couldn't wait to leave the palace, she didn't try to stop him.
"Since you have made up your mind, I won't stay any longer. So pack your things and be ready to leave the palace at any time!"
"Thank you, Queen."
After Lin Ming bowed to her, she nodded to him and turned to walk out.
She really didn't expect that Leng Rumin, who usually looked quiet and taciturn, would actually poison the emperor.
The most important thing is that she didn't even show up from the time the emperor passed away to his burial. It is not known whether she felt guilty or really didn't want to see the emperor off.
On the way back to Chaofeng Palace, she kept thinking about whether she should tell the emperor about this matter.
If I don't tell him, the emperor will order someone to investigate the matter, and in the end, it will all lead to her.
Instead of doing this, it is better to tell the emperor clearly and let him decide how to deal with Leng Rumin!
As soon as she returned to Chaofeng Palace, she saw Queen Chunyuan and King Sangtun standing at the door of the side hall looking at her.
She nodded slightly to them in greeting and then walked straight to the main hall.
Su Yi came over at this time.
"Your Majesty, the Emperor has returned from court, and he has been asking about you."
She gave a helpless smile.
He was like a child. If she left for a while, he would send people to look for her everywhere.
"I understand. Go and tell Luo Yuanjian to come over."
"Yes."
Su Yi turned and left. She glanced again at Queen Chun and Sang Tun who were standing at the door of the side hall, then went straight into the main hall.
Seeing her coming back, Leng Yiyan, who was sitting there drinking tea, was about to get up, but she stepped forward and stopped him.
"Don't move. Your injury hasn't healed yet. Why don't you lie down on the bed?"
Leng Yiyan shook his head indifferently.
"My injury has almost healed, thanks to my wife's miraculous healing hands. By the way, I want to wait for you to come back so that we can go to the side hall together. I'm very curious why King Sang and Queen Chun have no intention of leaving. Do they want to fight or make peace? There must be a conclusion. They can't just stay in the harem like this!"
Hearing him mention this, she suddenly remembered that she had not yet had the chance to tell him about her life experience.
She sat in front of him calmly. He was about to stand up when he saw her sitting down. He asked in surprise,
"What's wrong, madam?"
She raised her beautiful eyes and looked at him solemnly.
"I know the purpose of Queen Chun and King Sang's stay here."
"Oh? Then tell me."
"Because, they probably found the person they were looking for."
"Where did you find it?"
"In the palace."
"In the palace? Who is it?"
"I……"
"what?"
Leng Yiyan opened his mouth wide and looked at her in disbelief.
"You said you were the one they were looking for?"
"Well, a few days ago, Luo Yuanjian gave me a jade pendant, saying that this jade pendant was related to my life experience. Yesterday, the jade pendant accidentally fell and was picked up by Queen Chun. It turned out that she also had an identical one. She called me over to ask about it, and then she found a plum blossom-shaped birthmark behind my ear, and concluded that I was the person she was looking for, the daughter she and Sang Ye lost many years ago..."
Her words left Leng Yiyan confused.
He was just sick, so how come his wife became a member of Xuanyuan Country?
Seeing him standing there in a daze, Luo Nianxi shrugged helplessly.
"I am also curious about this, so I have sent someone to call Luo Yuanjian to confront him. However, I have already felt that Queen Chun has not mistaken me. Perhaps I am from Xuanyuan Country."
Leng Yiyan really felt like he was listening to a story.
His wife can open up a space that is completely unfamiliar to him and can heal him there.
Now she is a citizen of Xuanyuan Kingdom again, and her biological parents are still the king and queen.
This……
Should we be happy or sad about this?
Seeing him in a daze, she comforted him softly:
"Don't worry, my husband. No matter who I am, I will never leave you and the children."
At this moment, Su Yi called out from outside.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, Lord Luo is here and is waiting outside."
She glanced at Leng Yiyan and instructed Su Yi:
"Please invite King Sang and King Chun to come to the main hall."
"Yes."
After Su Yi agreed, she stood up and walked to his side, holding his hand.
"My husband, let's go. If I am really the daughter of the King of Xuanyuan, it will only benefit our Pingyang Kingdom, not harm it."
