Ling Ruo thought for a moment, shook her head and said: "She is just a noble person and has no children. What reason do you think she has to harm Yonglian?"
Yang Hai shook his head and said: "This servant really can't imagine that if something happens to the second elder brother, it will be of no benefit to Mr. Yugui. Besides, if this matter is really related to her, she should hide in the palace today and not go out."
Having said this, even he himself felt that Yu Guiren could not be related to the murder of Yong Lian.
Ling Ruo got up and walked a few steps: "It's not an option to wait forever like this. We must find a way to find the murderer as soon as possible."
Yang Hai rolled his eyes and said: "Queen Mother, why don't we invite you into the urn with one move?"
Ling Ruo raised his eyebrows and said, "Huh? Let's talk about it."
"We can..." After Yang Hai finished explaining the strategy he thought of, Ling Ruo smiled and said, "Thank you for thinking of it, okay, let's use this method."
"Then the servant will go to Yangxin Palace and Kunning Palace to arrange the matter." Yang Hai was about to leave, Ling Ruo called him and said: "In Kunning Palace, just tell Shuixiu, don't tell this matter
Tell the queen about it, the Ai family is afraid that she will do something bad then."
"I know." After saying this, Yang Hai quickly disappeared into the darkness. After he left, Ling Ruo fell into deep thought. When she asked Abi yesterday, she always felt that she had missed something.
But I haven't thought about it for a whole day today, what exactly... is it? I always feel that as long as I think about it, the real culprit who murdered Yonglian will emerge.
The next day, Xianyue was summoned as soon as she had breakfast. She immediately went to Cining Palace. When she got there, she found that Hongli, Mingyu, Concubine Zhe, and even concubine Jia, concubine Yi and others were also there. So
With so many people here together, have they found the real culprit who murdered Yong Lian?
With this thought, Xianyue entered the main hall. After she bowed, Ling Ruo said slowly: "Okay, everyone is here, we can start. I believe you all can't wait to know who is using despicable and vicious methods.
The means used to harm Yonglian."
Concubine Jia was surprised and said: "Queen Mother, have you found the murderer?"
"Yes, the Ai family spent a whole day investigating yesterday and finally found the murderer of Yonglian; this person is..." Ling Ruo's eyes swept over everyone one by one, and finally settled on Xianyue, and uttered two words coldly
Come on, "Concubine Xian!"
Xianyue looked at Ling Ruo in shock, never expecting that she would actually identify herself as the murderer. Before she could recover, someone had slapped her on the cheek, and Mingyu's hateful voice came to her ears, "
Sure enough, it's you! Nala Xianyue, you deserve to die!"
This palm also brought Xianyue's attention back. She covered her burning cheeks and said loudly: "I have never harmed my second elder brother, no!"
Mingyu said sternly: "You are still lying. Who else could you have if you didn't? Yonglian trusts you so much, but you want his life. Are you still not a human being?!"
"No, I didn't lie. The second elder brother is the person I will never harm in my life." At this point, she turned her eyes to Ling Ruo and said, "Empress Huang, why did you say that I was the murderer?
"
Ling Ruo sneered and said: "Concubine Xian's acting skills are so good. No wonder the Ai family and the emperor were deceived by you the day before yesterday, thinking that you would not be the murderer."
"I'm not acting, I'm..." Xianyue was just halfway through her words when Hongli slapped her hand on the armrest, stared at her and said: "That's enough, I don't want to listen to your lies anymore, Concubine Xian,
I believed you time and time again, but you deceived me again and again, you... deserve to die!"
The word "damn" that came out of Hongli's mouth was far more hurtful than what Mingyu said. It was like being pricked by countless steel needles, and even breathing was painful.
Xianyue held back the tears in her eyes and choked up: "No, I will never harm Yonglian in this life. Why, why does the emperor always doubt me every time something happens? Just because I did something like this before."
You did something wrong, so do you get it for the rest of your life?"
Hongli's eyes trembled slightly and he said in a cold voice: "The queen is right in saying that a country is easy to change, but one's nature is hard to change. I shouldn't have believed you from the beginning!"
Seeing that Xianyue had been misunderstood, A Luo knelt down quickly and said: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, the master regards the second elder brother as if he were already a stranger, and even saved the second elder brother's life. How could she hurt the second elder brother? You guys
Don’t be deceived by traitors and wrong your master.”
Concubine Zhe scolded: "How dare you, the Queen Mother and the Emperor are asking questions, when will it be your turn as a little slave to interrupt."
At this moment, the happiest person is her. Ling Ruo personally identified Xianyue as the murderer. After two days of hanging on her heart, she could finally let go. Although she did not kill Yonglian this time, she still let Xianyue carry her.
For the crime of murdering Yonglian, even if he survives, he will spend the rest of his life in the cold palace and never see the light of day.
A Luo ignored her and just kept kowtowing to Ling Ruo and Hong Li, begging them to believe in Xianyue. But this kind of thing could be changed by a few words of pleading from a palace maid.
Ling Ruo stood up and walked to Xianyue and said coldly: "Although the Ai family didn't find the poison, the Ai family found out that every time you see Yong Lian, you will let him eat; even if sometimes he doesn't want to eat,
You will also try to coax him to eat it; why? Because you want to poison, and you want to kill Yonglian to take revenge on the queen."
Xianyue panicked and denied, "No, I didn't poison Yong Lian, I didn't force Yong Lian to eat, and I didn't want to take revenge on the queen. I didn't do anything."
"You do!" Shui Xiu walked in from the outside and said word for word: "These words were spoken by the second elder brother himself to the slave, and there is absolutely no lie."
Xianyue's head was buzzing. She had never forced Yonglian to eat anything. Even if it was snacks, she would not bring them every time. Why would Yonglian tell lies to Shuixiu? Is it possible that he would also harm herself?
?
As soon as this idea appeared, Xianyue denied it. It was impossible. Yonglian would not harm her. It was absolutely impossible.
Seeing that Xianyue didn't speak, Ling Ruo said again: "How about it, you have nothing to say, right?"
Xianyue woke up with a start and said immediately: "No, I have never harmed Yonglian. The person who harmed Yonglian is Concubine Zhe. She coveted the position of crown prince and wanted her eldest brother to inherit the throne, so she deliberately approached the queen.
Waiting for an opportunity to murder the second elder brother."
Concubine Zhe's expression changed and she quickly said: "Empress, I have never thought about this before. You must not believe her words."
Ling Ruo looked gentle and said: "Don't worry, the Ai family has already fallen into her trap once, how can she fall into her trap a second time? No matter what she says, it will not affect the Ai family."
Xianyue said loudly: "No, I have no tricks. What I said is true. What do you want to do to believe me?"
Hongli stood up and came to her, saying in a painful voice: "Why, why until now, you have no regrets at all, and you are even trying to find ways to wrong people. Concubine Xian, Yonglian calls you aunt, he treats you as a relative
How could you be so cruel to treat him like that? If it hadn't been for Doctor Xu this time, Yonglian would have died!"
