Chapter 230 This is not the servant's craftsmanship, but it looks familiar
Ling Yunche's heart was in turmoil over what Wei Yanwan said. He was not sure which one Wei Yanwan was talking about, so he chose to respond calmly.
"My Lady, you said that I harmed you. What are you talking about?"
Ling Yunche wanted to wait for Wei Yanwan to speak first, but Yanwan was not a pushover and her eyes were blurred with tears.
“Which one?
Which thing are you talking about?
What else could it be?”
The question was thrown back to Ling Yunche. This time, Ling Yunche simply did not answer it, intending to speak first when Yan Wan could no longer hold it in.
Yan Wan just kept crying with tears in her eyes. Ling Yunche didn't say a word, and Yan Wan didn't say a word either.
Both of them were quite patient, but Ruyi couldn't wait any longer. Ruyi just thought that Wei Yanwan was trying another plan when one failed.
"Wei Yanwan, you are good at making arguments, but you refuse to confess your own crimes and instead drag Ling Yunche into this.
I have seen through your plot, you have no hope of succeeding, I advise you to surrender as soon as possible."
"Even if you didn't poison Jing Si, you can't escape blame for the abortion drug in Rong Guiren's medicine."
Yanwan was crying and wiping her tears with a handkerchief, which was in stark contrast to Ruyi who was so angry that she was about to take off.
Yan Wan sobbed and said:
"Empress, I have never done anything, but you keep forcing me to admit it. Is it because you already knew what Ling Yunche had done? You are afraid to face it, so you killed me to silence me?"
"Is the Queen guilty?"
There was doubt in Yanwan's eyes, and the emperor also looked at Ruyi with doubtful eyes.
Ruyi was furious. Wei Yanwan not only refused to admit her guilt, but also dared to turn the tables on her. Ruyi could not stand it.
Just as she was about to get angry, Ruyi remembered something.
Ling Yunche does have something that could be used as a handle against Wei Yanwan, and that is the matter between him and Li Xin.
But Ling Yunche had explained it long ago. At first, Rong Pei and Ling Yunche were not on good terms, and Ling Yunche deliberately annoyed Rong Pei. Later, Li Xin was really interested in Ling Yunche, but Ling Yunche rejected her sternly.
Ruyi reviewed the situation in her mind and realized that it was Rong Pei and Li Xin who were trying to seduce Ling Yunche, so Ling Yunche was not wrong.
Thinking that Wei Yanwan only knew a little bit of the truth yet dared to accuse Ling Yunche, Ruyi refused to tell her the truth and waited for Wei Yanwan to tell the truth before exposing her.
After such careful consideration, Ruyi pretended not to know and spoke.
"What nonsense are you talking about? What do I know?"
Ruyi's confident look could not be concealed. Yan Wan knew that Ruyi had reviewed the situation and deliberately spoke slowly:
"If the Queen says so, then she really doesn't know. If the Queen doesn't know, then I will tell you what I know."
"emperor……"
"Your Majesty, I remember now."
Right now, when Ruyi saw Yanwan’s words being interrupted by her, her joy was evident on her face.
Wei Yanwan wanted to pretend in front of the emperor, and now she interrupted Wei Yanwan to see how she would pretend.
In order to make Wei Yanwan lose more thoroughly in front of the emperor, Ruyi pretended to be dignified with her distorted face.
"I recall that Li Xin, who served Concubine Jia in Yuanmingyuan, asked Ling Yunche to deliver things several times.
It is a serious crime for men and women to have sex privately. Even eunuchs are not allowed to do so."
“But I thought that Concubine Jia was from the Yu clan and needed a reliable palace maid to take care of her, so I asked Ling Yunche to take care of her.
I think these things caused Concubine Ling to misunderstand. "
Ruyi's eyes fell on Yanwan, and seeing that Yanwan was stunned, Ruyi felt very proud.
"Noble Concubine Ling, isn't this what you want to talk about? What are you trying to say now?"
"Wait a minute, Queen, what you said is not right. How can it not be wrong to give and take privately? You have always been at odds with Concubine Jia. When did you take care of Concubine Jia like this?"
Concubine Qing felt that Ruyi was taking advantage of the situation and wanted to cover up the affair between Ling Yunche and Li Xin, but Concubine Qing refused to agree.
Ruyi disliked the trouble-making Concubine Qing and treated her with coldness and disdain.
"Princess Qing, when is it your turn to interrupt me when I am reporting to the Emperor?"
Concubine Qing didn't care about Ruyi's shouting. She pointed at Ling Yunche.
"If the Queen says so, then what kind of rules did Ling Yunche use to interrogate Concubine Ling just now?
He is just a servant. How can he deserve such protection from the Queen?
He can speak, but I can't?"
"Father, since the Empress and Concubine Qing have different opinions, I will follow my daughter's wishes and ask Li Xin to come back and ask her."
Jingse didn't know what Ling Yunche and Li Xin were talking about, but it was definitely not what it seemed.
"But what a coincidence, Li Xin just happened to be back in the palace today getting medicine for Concubine Jia. Your Majesty, how about I ask her to come over."
"When will Li Xin be in the palace?"
The person who said Li Xin was in the palace was Jinzhong, and the person who questioned it was the emperor.
"Your Majesty, Concubine Jia has been feeling unwell these days and asked Li Xin to take the pulse records from the past and go to the palace to see the imperial physician.
It was Concubine Chun who asked her to come back. Concubine Chun is kind and benevolent. Although Concubine Jia made mistakes, she is still the emperor's concubine. If there is any good or bad, it is natural to take it seriously. "
Jinzhong replied to the emperor, his eyes falling on Yanwan.
The fact that Li Xin could appear in the palace was naturally the plan of Jinzhong and Yanwan. Ruyi thought that if she told about Li Xin, Yanwan would be helpless against her. Yanwan had already thought of several ways to deal with Ruyi.
"Noble Concubine Chun is thoughtful."
The emperor looked at Ruyi coldly while he spoke, even though Ruyi was busy waiting for Yanwan and didn't see it.
Ruyi kept saying that she was taking care of Li Xin for Concubine Jia, but from what Jinzhong said, Ruyi had no idea Li Xin was in the palace at all. She guessed it was all Concubine Chun's hard work.
Concubine Chun really didn't expect the emperor to praise her at this time. She stood up and thanked him:
"It's all my duty."
"Since Li Xin is here, just ask her to come over. Why bother making it so mysterious?"
Ruyi has not yet realized the seriousness of the matter. She just thinks that Yanwan did it on purpose and that Concubine Chun would also try to take advantage of her.
But Ruyi is not afraid. After all, Ling Yunche is telling the truth, and Li Xin's coming will only slap Wei Yanwan in the face.
Ruyi didn't see it, but Ling Yunche had layers of cold sweat on his forehead.
Ling Yunche started panicking when Ruyi started to tell her about Li Xin.
He really wanted to say that Li Xin was not allowed to come, but he knew that was courting death. He could only pretend to be calm.
Li Xin came over not long after. After hearing Ruyi say a lot about her and Ling Yunche not knowing each other clearly and secretly communicating with each other, Li Xin was extremely angry and said angrily, regardless of the fact that she was in front of the emperor:
"fart."
"Ling Yunche, when did you give me something, and when did I receive something from you?"
"The Old Summer Palace was under strict guard, not even a fly could get in."
When Ruyi saw Ling Yunche being scolded, she glared at Li Xin in annoyance.
"Times have changed. Even if you don't admit it, it's still the truth."
Li Xin was so angry that she was about to cry.
"What facts? I am a virgin girl, and the Queen said it was a rumor, so she just made it up. You want to kill me for something that has no evidence at all?"
As soon as Li Xin mentioned the evidence, Rong Pei thought of the important thing to say.
"You once embroidered a pair of boots for Ling Yunche."
Rong Pei had been thinking about this for a long time, and hurriedly asked someone to fetch Ling Yunche's precious boots. She didn't notice Ling Yunche's panicked face at all.
When the boots were brought, Li Xin shook her head and denied it as soon as she saw them.
"This is not the servant's work. But it looks familiar."
