Chapter 73 073: Negotiating with Xiao Jinran

Chapter 73 073: Negotiating with Xiao Jinran

Xiao Jinran's expression suddenly changed: "Impossible!"

He believed that anyone could do such a thing, except Su Wanyan.

Eunuch Fang said with a mournful face: "Your Majesty, all the witnesses and evidence are here, and they all point to Concubine Shu."

Xiao Jinran had a gloomy face and left suddenly, not caring about Wen Nianruan anymore.

After everyone left, there were no other outsiders in the hall. Wen Nian's weak body could not support him, his legs gave way, and he immediately fell into the arms filled with sandalwood.

"Soft."

Yun Chenan called softly, full of heartache, and immediately entered the bedroom with Wen Nianruan in his arms.

Qiu Bai and Yu Shuang quickly went out and closed the palace door.

Yun Chenan hugged Wen Nianruan and wanted to put her on the bed, but Wen Nianruan hugged his neck and didn't want to leave his arms, so Yun Chenan had to let her cling to him.

Touching the pinch marks on her neck with his fingertips, Yun Chenan asked, "Does it hurt?"

"pain."

Wen Nianruo's voice was slightly hoarse, his fox eyes were watery, and Jiao Nong said softly: "It won't hurt if you kiss me."

She is used to being wild and wild with outsiders, and only in front of Yun Chenan will she act like a baby.

Because she knew that this man would pamper her unconditionally and without limits.

Yun Chen'an smiled slightly, lowered his head and approached her neck, gently kissed the pinch mark, and licked it gently with the tip of his tongue, scratching the skin and causing a burst of itch.

Wen Nianruan couldn't help but tremble slightly, and she said, "Zhao Xiuyi's miscarriage has nothing to do with me."

"I know, you're not that stupid."

Yun Chenan responded, he took out a small porcelain bottle, poured out the potion and applied it to the pinch marks on Wen Nianruan's neck.

Wen Nianruan said: "It can't be Su Wanyan."

She's not that stupid either.

Yun Chenan raised his eyebrows slightly: "Then who do you think it could be?"

"Queen Mother."

Late at night, Wen Nianruan had not yet fallen asleep, and the palace lights were still bright.

Tonight is a sleepless night for many people.

Qiu Bai had just finished inquiring about the news from outside and hurried into the palace: "Your Majesty, I have found out clearly that the cause of Zhao Xiuyi's miscarriage is indeed due to Concubine Shu."

Wen Nianruan frowned: "Is there something wrong with the sachet and scented tea sent by Concubine Shu during the day?"

If the Queen Mother wanted to frame Concubine Shu, it would be easy to manipulate the sachets and scented tea.

Qiu Bai poured a cup of tea for Wen Nianruan and said, "It seems that there is nothing wrong with the flower tea and sachets given by Concubine Shu today. The problem is the clothes on Concubine Shu. The imperial doctor found that there is a lot of musk on Concubine Shu's clothes."

, the contact with Zhao Xiuyi today was enough to cause the child in Zhao Xiuyi’s belly to abort.”

Everyone knows that musk is very harmful to pregnant women, and the child in Zhao Xiuyi's belly is only about three months old. It is the time when the fetus is unstable, and it can cause miscarriage if not careful.

But I didn't expect that the Queen Mother's methods were quite clever. Instead of directly tampering with the sachets and scented tea, she instead played tricks on Su Wanyan.

Today the Queen Mother asked Su Wanyan to deliver sachets and scented tea to Zhao Xiuyi, but it was just a cover. Her real purpose was to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

Use Su Wanyan's "knife" to get rid of the child in Zhao Xiuyi's belly.

"Have you found out how you got the musk on Concubine Shu?"

"According to a maid next to Empress Shu, Concubine Shu deliberately applied musk to her body in order to harm the child in Zhao Xiu's belly,"

"The people around Concubine Shu identified her?" Wen Nianruan raised his eyebrows and sneered: "It seems that this maid has been bribed by the Queen Mother."

Since she wanted to frame Su Wanyan, how could the Queen Mother not make sufficient preparations.

Using the child in Zhao Xiuyi's belly, the Queen Mother not only wanted to suppress Su Wanyan, but also wanted to overthrow the Zhenguo General's Office and cut off Xiao Jinran's right-hand man, so that Xiao Weifeng could more easily compete for the throne.

The plan was quite good, but it couldn't escape Xiao Jinran's eyes. Since he had already interrogated the maid who testified against Su Wanyan, he could use his mind-reading skills to know that the Queen Mother was behind this.

But even if Xiao Jinran knew about it, what would happen? In the eyes of outsiders, the person who caused Zhao Xiuyi's miscarriage was Su Wanyan. With all the witnesses and physical evidence, it would be difficult for Su Wanyan to stand up.

Taking a sip of tea, Wen Nianruan asked, "How is Concubine Shu doing now?"

"I heard that the emperor was imprisoned in Shulan Palace first, and then he was released after the incident. Many ministers came to the palace overnight to pay homage to the emperor, asking the emperor to punish Concubine Shu severely. This matter must not be tolerated."

Wen Nianruan snorted coldly: "These ministers are from the Queen Mother's camp at first glance, adding fuel to the fire."

Xiao Jinran knew in his heart that Su Wanyan did not do this, but the pressure exerted by those ministers made him helpless.

This game was very unfavorable to Xiao Jinran.

If he wanted to calm down the turmoil, he could only abandon Su Wanyan and the Su family, but Xiao Jinran would never do this. If the Zhenguo General Mansion fell, Xiao Jinran's throne would be even more in danger.

It depends on how Xiao Jinran can solve this situation set by the Queen Mother.

The lid of the cup brushed over the tea surface, and the fragrant mist curled up. Wen Nianruan stared at the tea leaves floating on the teacup, her meditative fox eyes reflected in the tea.

Waves of light flickered, and the eyes were deeply colored.

"Ding!" After closing the cup lid, Wen Nianruan got up and changed clothes.

Qiu Bai saw her put on her skirt again, looked at the dark night outside, and wondered: "Why don't you take a rest? Where are you going?"

"Go to the emperor to make a deal."

The lights in the imperial study were still on at this time, and a group of palace people were guarding outside. Before Wen Nianruan could approach, a white figure happened to come out of the imperial study.

Wen Nianruan stopped.

Yun Chenan raised his eyes and saw the woman standing not far away, his eyebrows moved slightly. He stepped forward and quietly took Wen Nianruan's hand to the dark place while there were no palace people around.

Qiu Bai immediately took notice of the situation.

Yun Chenan gently held Wen Nianruan's slim waist and asked softly: "Why don't you rest so late?"

"I'm looking for the emperor."

"Is it about Concubine Shu?" Yun Chenan knew immediately after thinking about it.

"Well, I want to negotiate with the emperor."

Wen Nianruan confessed frankly and had no intention of hiding it from Yun Chenan: "I want to make a deal with the emperor and ask him to let me go free."

The big hands on his waist tightened, and Wen Nianruan felt the change in Yun Chenan's mood.

He pursed his thin lips: "Ruanruan, if you want to leave the palace, I can send you out of the palace at any time, but I don't want you to get involved in this matter."

He didn't want her to get involved in the muddy water in the palace, he wanted to keep her alone.

Wen Nianruan chuckled and held his hand: "I know it's easy for you to send me out of the palace, but I don't want to leave the palace yet because you are still in the palace. When the dust settles, we will leave the palace together."

In the past, she was alone and left as soon as she said it, but now she has concerns and someone she likes. No matter what she does, she has to consider two people.

With Yun Chenan's ability, it was really easy to send her out of the palace, but she wanted Xiao Jinran to let her go willingly, so that she and Yun Chen could be together openly in the future.

"Soft."

Yun Chenan seemed to be hesitant, Wen Nianruan kissed his lips to seal what he wanted to say, "Trust me, it will be fine."

After being reviewed for a long time today, it was finally released╭(╯ε╰)╮
