Eighty-one: Lingling accident
Seeing that the matter was almost done, Wen Wan should return to normal. So she planned to send someone to pick up Ling Xi on the next day. Unfortunately, before the person set off, she got bad news. Ling Xi killed someone.
Ling Xi killed someone, but it was her half-sister who killed her. When Wen Wan heard the news, a cold light flashed in her eyes: "Ling Xi killed the four princesses (Guo's daughter). What's going on, let's explain it clearly." This trauma of brothers is not just a joke. Once this matter is spread, Ling Xi will be ruined in this life. Even if he has the talent of heaven and earth, this stain will make him unable to turn over for the rest of his life and will be despised by the world.
Xia Ying's face was so dark that it made people feel irritated. She told Wen Wan what happened. In fact, the incident happened very simple. Ling Xi was with the Fourth Princess, and then the Fourth Princess lost her breath. At that time, there were only two children in the room.
Wen Wan sneered, "Is Guo's child dying of illness?" Wen Wan thought that because the child was about to die, she simply blamed Ling Ling and ruined the child. So the person who followed her was determined that Ling Ling killed the four princesses.
Xia Yao shook her head: "No, the fourth princess was a little weak before. But the careful conditioning of her body in the past two years has improved. It is no different from a normal child. This time, it is really strange. And this time, the matter was obviously aimed at Ling Ling." This is a condom. But why it is targeted at Ling Ling, it is really strange.
Wen Wan sneered: "Xia Yao, you are wrong. This time the incident was obviously directed at me. Ling Xi's child was just used by these people. Their real purpose was me. But this matter is really strange. If it were said that Guo's actions were too rare, Guo would actually attack his own flesh and blood. It is said that the tiger poison will not eat any children. But if it weren't for her actions, there were no palace maids and eunuchs around him at that time, which was quite interesting." Wen Wan felt that she might have thought it was wrong. Guo used his daughter to harm Ling Xi, and wanted to destroy Ling Xi with this reason. It was unreasonable. If Ling Xi did this, she would not hurt her. Even the prince would not let such a scandal spread. It was unreasonable.
When Xia Yao heard Wen Wan say that this was for Wen Wan, she disagreed: "Princess, you said Guo was for you. If only Ling Ling is killed, they will not be able to affect the princess. Why do you have to go through such a big trouble?" This incident made Xia Yao and Xia Ying understand.
Wen Wan also thought it was unreasonable. She asked coldly: "After this incident comes out, what is the attitude of the Crown Princess? What has she done? Hai Ruyu has been in charge of the East Palace for so many years, but Guo has actually framed her son like this. Could it be that he is not worthy of being ordered by Ling Ling, or all the people who gave Ling Ling Ling died? Otherwise, why is there no one around Ling Ling this time? If the Crown Princess is so incompetent. She can stand in the East Palace and protect the four children without any harm. This is too rare."
Xia Yao flashed coldly: "Prince, are you saying that the Crown Princess did it on purpose? This time, Ling Ling's incident happened to see if you came forward or not. If you came forward, you were involved in the internal affairs of the Eastern Palace. If you didn't come forward, you would be cold. "Xia Yao cannot blame Xia Yao for speculating on Hai Ruyu with the greatest malicious intention. It's really that Hai Ruyu gave Xia Yao too badly before. Of course, the main reason is that this matter is too strange.
Wen Wan didn't say anything, and this really cannot be ruled out. Now the position of the prince is becoming more and more subtle, because the emperor now relies heavily on the third prince. The people who support the third prince are far greater than that of the prince. The prince's position is shaky, and Hai Ruyu is crazy and wants to burn his boats. No. This is not considered burning his boats. Anyway, she intervenes in this matter, and they benefit from it. If she doesn't intervene, Wen Wan feels cold, and if she doesn't intervene, she will just destroy a son. And this son is still what she taught.
Xia Ying smiled: "Princess, what's the tricky thing about this? You won't forget the people around His Highness Ling Ling, right?" If there is no shadow, maybe things will be more difficult. But with shadow and evidence, people are afraid of what are they afraid of.
Wenwan was a little surprised how Xia Ying knew, the emperor couldn't tell her.
Xia Ying hurriedly explained: "I feel it." There is no need to tell such things. As long as there are masters, you can feel it. Otherwise, a powerful assassin will come and everyone will watch the assassination of the master.
Xia Yao said she knew it too.
Wen Wan rejected the proposal: "No, the news of Shadow cannot be revealed. Once the news is revealed, Ling Ling's situation will be very dangerous in the future." Once Shadow's matter is known, no one of these people is not a human spirit, it is likely that they will know the emperor and her plans. This will cause Ling Ling to be killed. Maybe someone speculated before, but after all, it was speculation. It was just speculation that it would not make them make up their minds.
Wen Wan thought for a while and said, "Xia Yao, you go there in person. Although it is a housework in the East Palace, Ling Xi is my student, and it is not an exaggeration to ask me as a teacher." Wen Wan sent Xia Yao to the past very clearly. It was just a bright support. And Wen Wan also knew very well that unless the prince had a mind, he would never charge Ling Xi for the crime of killing his sister. She couldn't get this matter into her, but she could definitely get into the East Palace.
Xia Yao felt that Wen Wan should not intervene. After all, it was an internal affairs. Wen Wan shook her head: "I just asked you to go over and see, but I didn't let you intervene. Don't let Ling Ling suffer." After Wen Wan finished speaking, she thought that Xia Yao's temperament was not as calm as Xia Ying: "Forget it, let Xia Ying go!" Xia Ying now, huh, how do you say it? She is becoming more and more vicious. She can calm down more than Xia Yao who is more and more energetic. Wen Wan thinks that the two are very good, each with their own characteristics, their own strengths, and their own shortcomings.
Xia Yao doesn't care. After being with Wen Wan for so many years, if she has reached this age, there will definitely be no other wealthy families competing for favor. Xia Yao smiled and said, "Xia Ying, I'll ask Xia Xian to give you your favorite steamed bass. Some of them will be eaten when you come back."
But when Xia Ying first left the door, Wen Wan called out again: "Xia Ying, just go and inquire about the news. Don't come forward."
Xia Yao and Xia Ying were stunned at the same time. Because it was Wen Wan's first time to take back what she said: "Princess, what's wrong?" If it weren't for some important reason, she would definitely not have regretted it again.
Wen Wan shook her head and didn't say anything. Wen Wan was completely in deep thought, and even Xia Ying didn't see her when she went out. Wen Wan always felt that Mingjin and Ling Xi were too strange: "Xia Yao, do you think this matter was really done by the Crown Princess?"
Xia Yao widened her eyes: "Princess, why do you really doubt the Crown Princess suddenly?" She just said that she was not really doubting the Crown Princess. After all, when this matter came out, the Crown Princess had no interest.
Wen Wan did not answer Xia Yao's doubts, but went to the study room and stayed in the study room. Xia Yao rarely had any questions. Well, it should be said that she hadn't seen Wen Wan like this for several years.
Xia Ying came back after going out for a long time and heard the princess alone in the study, and was a little surprised. Wen Wan heard Xia Yao's footsteps in the study and let the two of them go in.
Xia Ying said: "Princess, I got the news. The prince has already settled the case, saying that the palace maid and the eunuch have neglected their duties and did not protect the fourth princess well. The matter of the fourth princess has nothing to do with Ling Xi. When Ling Xi passed by, the fourth princess was gone. He was misunderstood by the people below. However, Ling Xi was frightened and needed a good rest."
Wen Wan knew that this was over: "What is going on? Who is using such a clumsy means? What is the purpose of this person? Have everyone around you caught it?" If Wen Wan was not wrong, it must be that there was a problem with the manpower from Guo's family. But, what was the one who used such clumsy means? Who did she make such a grudge against? She also had to turn around through Ling Xi.
Wen Wan was puzzled and knocked on the table and said the doubts in her heart: "Xia Yao, don't you think both things are strange. What exactly do the people behind the scenes want to do?" Everyone with a brain understands that when the emperor is so good, no one can touch her. If she moves her, she will only seek death. But why do these people still deal with her so blatantly? Wen Wan really can't figure it out.
Xia Yao shook her head, but she couldn't figure it out. It would be difficult to plot against the princess through Ling Xi. It could be said to be a fantasy.
Wen Wan gave up thinking for the time being, and it was just a matter of brains to think about it. It would be better to take a break. When she returned to the house, she happened to see Xia Xian bringing Mingjin's favorite candied date cake. Mingjin is now tempted to talk about the cake. She will never eat it even if she dies.
Wen Wan looked at the candied date cake, but her face suddenly changed and she immediately walked out: "Xia Ying, go and check immediately. When did Jiang Wei like to eat candied date cake? Did she like to eat it since she was a child or after she went to the palace?" If she started to like to eat candied date cake after she entered the palace, then this time the matter is really not that simple. There must be another mystery.
Although Wen Wan didn't believe it was a coincidence, after searching it, she couldn't find any clues. Not believing it was a coincidence, but there was no evidence, it was not a coincidence.
Xia Ying was a little surprised, but she hurried out. After a while, she returned and said, "Princess, Jiang Wei has liked pastries since she was a child. She likes all kinds of pastries as long as they are delicious. However, candied date cake was loved by her after entering the palace. It was a mother next to Jiang Wei who was good at making candied date cakes, and the taste was very good." Xia Ying said, paused here: "Princess, this mother is dead. She can't stand the punishment and committed suicide."
A terrifying light flashed in Wenwan's eyes. If it was a coincidence before, Wenwan could only believe it without evidence. The suspicion that remained was the suspicion she had developed for many years. But now, Wenwan is 100% sure that this matter was not a coincidence, but someone had planned it long ago. But no one could calculate when Mingjin went to the Imperial Garden. This premeditation requires a long time to prepare, and it also requires the right time and place. All kinds of requests were collected. It was very troublesome. But why did they spend a lot of effort to murder her Mingjin? She has not yet formed such a deep hatred with the people in the palace (those who have formed hatred do not have the ability to make it bigger). (To be continued)
