Chapter 228: Drag him out and strangle him
Wei Yanwan came out and told Ling Yunche what happened inside.
"This is all I can do. I cannot tell anyone about Li Yu's death. The princess has privately acknowledged me, so I can't continue to push her. After all, Li Yu drank the medicine, and there is no evidence to prove that Li Yu or the princess are suspected of harming anyone."
"Rong Guiren, you must be more careful in everything. If the princess does it again, she will be caught."
Ling Yunche was unwilling, but helpless. He opened and closed his lips several times. He bowed and thanked him:
"I understand, thank you, Concubine Ling."
Yan Wan was speechless when she saw Ling Yunche's cowardly and helpless look, and could only say:
"The safety of the Fifth Princess must always be considered."
Ling Yunche looked up. It seemed that he just remembered that Ruyi had a daughter who was held in Jingse's hands.
"The slave understands."
Ling Yunche said again that he understood. This time he didn't just bow, but bent his noble waist.
Ling Yunche's noble waist was only slightly bent in front of Yan Wan, but when he came to Yikun Palace to meet his master Ruyi, he immediately bent as much as a groom would when he was worshipping in the hall. A smile also appeared on his face.
Ling Yunche, who was familiar to Ruyi, was back again. Ruyi's eyes were dazzled and she pouted delicately:
“Look, Rong Pei is in good health, otherwise you wouldn’t be so happy.
She is happy, and I am happy too."
Ruyi thought to herself, as long as Ling Yunche was happy, it would be fine. He just cared about Rong Pei. Rong Pei was already the emperor's woman, and now Ling Yunche was by her side.
When Ling Yunche didn't give her a cold look, Ruyi felt as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Ling Yunche smiled back at Ruyi's concern.
Ling Yunche breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, he was familiar with Ruyi's temper and she would be fine after a little coaxing.
In order to gain Ruyi's trust, Ling Yunche deliberately walked a few steps closer to Ruyi, stood in front of Ruyi, and spoke to Ruyi in a friendly manner as if nothing had happened:
"I am glad to see that Your Majesty is happy, but Rong Guiren is not doing well.
Also, I passed by Princess Jingse and took a look at the Fifth Princess. I found that the Fifth Princess was not doing well either."
Ruyi curled her lips slightly.
Rong Pei is not in good condition, what does it have to do with her.
"Why is Jingsi not well? Isn't Jingse taking care of her?"
Ruyi never took care of her daughter Jingsi at all. In the early years, Jingsi and Jingse were in Khorchin. They returned to the palace in recent years, but Ruyi rarely greeted them.
Ruyi is so jealous of her man every day that she has no time to take care of her daughter.
"I was passing by and saw the princess playing alone. I wanted to bring her to the Queen to have a look. Unexpectedly, I touched the bracelet the princess was wearing and this fell out of it."
Ling Yunche held a brown pill in his hand, the size of a mung bean that Ruyi was very familiar with.
After Ling Yunche separated from Yan Wan, he did not go back to Yikun Palace directly. Instead, he met Jingsi not far away. He wanted to hug Jingsi to make Ruyi happy, but then he made this discovery.
"Linglingxiang?"
"Linglingxiang?"
"What kind of joke is the Empress telling?
A few years ago, the Queen Mother used Linglingxiang to harm Jingse, and now she is saying that Linglingxiang was found in the bracelet I gave to my fifth sister. Doesn’t the Queen Mother think that this kind of revenge is a little childish? "
As soon as Ruyi found out about Linglingxiang, she invited Jingse, the emperor and the six concubines to solve the case in Yikun Palace together.
Ruyi has already told the emperor about Jingse's suspicion of using Linglingxiang to retaliate against Jingsi, and Jingse has also given an explanation.
Ruyi didn't want to look at Jingse at all. She didn't believe these excuses.
The emperor held the pearl bracelet that Jingse had given to Jingsi in his hand. He could indeed hear a sound from inside it when he shook it gently.
The emperor had heard such sounds in the bracelets of Ruyi and Gao Xiyue before, and he had also heard such sounds in the bracelet that Ruyi gave to Jingse. Now this method of harming people has appeared again.
Yan Wan sat in the crowd and had no idea what Ling Yunche did after they separated, or how he discovered that there was Linglingxiang in Jingsi's bracelet.
"Empress, everything depends on evidence. Let me be fair. They are both princesses. Princess Jingse has no reason to harm Jingsi. If Jingsi was a prince, it would be a different matter."
Yanwan spoke up in gratitude for Jingse's secret help before.
She had been there for a while, but Ruyi didn't do anything to Jingse. As soon as Yanwan opened her mouth, Ruyi stared at Yanwan.
"Noble Concubine Ling trusts the princess very much. I also understand this. After all, wasn't it Noble Concubine Ling who gave Rong Pei the abortion drug together with the princess?"
"I guess the Linglingxiang of Jingsi must have been made with Concubine Ling's tricks."
Ruyi's punch at Yanwan was completely unexpected for Yanwan, and Yanwan looked at Ling Yunche with even more confusion.
At that time, Ling Yunche was kneeling down and begging Yan Wan to protect Rong Pei, but he turned around and told Ruyi that there was something wrong with Rong Pei's pregnancy medicine.
"Okay, Your Majesty, the Queen suspects that Princess Jingse and I have conspired to murder the Fifth Princess and Concubine Rong. Where is the evidence?"
Evidence? Yan Wan's words made Ruyi stunned.
Ruyi doesn't need evidence to do things, suspicion is enough.
If Ling Yunche hadn't stopped Ruyi, she would have wanted to throw Jingse and Wei Yanwan into the Ministry of Punishment immediately.
"There's something wrong with the bracelet, there's something wrong with the medicine, I'm suspicious of you two, how are you going to argue?"
Even Ling Yunche was shocked by Ruyi's words. Didn't he tell Ruyi that he wanted to lure Jingse and Yanwan into confessing voluntarily? Now that Ruyi opened her mouth, it was clear that there was no evidence.
Ling Yunche had no choice but to bite the bullet and say:
“Noble Concubine Ling wanted evidence, and the Empress naturally dared to speak only when she had evidence and suspicion.
The Empress Dowager had once seen the Linglingxiang in the Fifth Princess's bracelet. The princess was raised by Princess Jingse, so if there were any problems, Princess Jingse would be responsible.
There was also an abortion drug in Concubine Rong's medicine. The people who took care of Concubine Rong were Princess Jingse's people, and the person who could take action in time was naturally Princess Jingse.
Concubine Ling came with her medicine to question the princess, but nothing came out of her. I naturally suspected that the princess and Concubine Ling had been colluding with each other.
"If the princess could conspire with Concubine Ling to poison Concubine Rong's child, she could also poison the fifth princess."
Ling Yunche's logic seems to be correct, but in fact it is nonsense.
Yan Wan sneered:
"If that's the case, then you personally brought Concubine Rong the abortion drug. Why can't you say that you gave Concubine Rong the abortion drug during the process?"
"It can't be a slave."
When Yan Wan asked, Ling Yunche answered without thinking.
"Why can't it be you? Concubine Rong was once your wife, she betrayed you and was with the emperor, and she also had the emperor's heir. Shouldn't you be the one who should be most jealous?"
Ling Yunche broke out in a cold sweat when asked by Yan Wan.
Ruyi saw this scene and was furious.
If Wei Yanwan continued asking, Ling Yunche would be snatched away by Rong Pei. This was absolutely not allowed.
"Noble Concubine Ling, you are a little palace maid with a pleasing appearance and a charming appearance. Even if you become a noble lady, you are not worth Ling Yunche's concern.
But you, who are pregnant with the royal heir, are the one who wants to harm Rong Pei the most.
Your own strength is not enough, so you seek help from Jingse who has a grudge against me."
"I don't need to waste my time talking to you. You have plotted to murder the heir to the throne and colluded with the princess. Your crimes are extremely heinous and you are not worthy of being the Emperor's Imperial Consort.
In my opinion, drag him out and strangle him immediately."
