Chapter 42: Confinement
After following Ruan Wanwan for so long, how could Iris not understand the temperament of his master, it is not a soft persimmon that can be manipulated by others.
The real culprit behind this incident must be punished, otherwise, Ruan Wanwan will definitely be unwilling.
Iris stood aside and asked respectfully, "Crown Princess, what do you think of this matter?" β
"How?" Ruan Wanwan smiled and returned to her previous cheerful appearance, she said, "Let's investigate secretly." β
Ruan Wanwan wanted to see who was behind the drug, and she could solve the problem by pushing a cook out casually.
Ruan Wanwan hooked her lips when she thought of this, and then immediately returned to her natural appearance.
Iris lowered her head, not daring to look at this scene, and after a while, she took the order and retreated.
Ruan Wanwan asked her henchmen to follow Iris to investigate the matter together.
At first, I thought that the people behind this would be hidden quite deeply, but who knows that it didn't take long to find some clues.
Iris and Ruan Wanwan's henchmen, The next day, they came directly to report Ruan Wanwan, the two stood below, and Ruan Wanwan sat on the main seat.
Ruan Wanwan supported her chin with one hand, squinted her eyes, and didn't look like she was awake, she asked, "But the result has been found." β
"Yes, Crown Princess."
"Yes, master."
The two responded to Ruan Wanwan in unison, Ruan Wanwan had some disbelief on her face, she dared to drug her own medicine, how could she find out so easily?
Ruan Wanwan asked softly: "Who is behind the scenes?" β
"The side concubine Qin Yurou...... All the things we've been looking into are pointing to her. β
Iris replied with a cold face, and it was not known if there was someone else behind this matter.
But now all the evidence points to Qin Yurou, which is what she did behind this.
"But I always felt that it wasn't her...... It should be mixed, but the mastermind is not her. β
Ruan Wanwan said thoughtfully, in fact, even if they were not allowed to investigate, Ruan Wanwan also had suspicions in her heart.
That person is Lan Ziyuan, but unfortunately there is no evidence now, otherwise, would they be so easy to bully?
These people saw that there were many people in the small kitchen, and there were many people coming in and out of the kitchen in a day, and even if they smoked a root, they could find out who was causing this matter.
I really don't know who thought of the plan, the army didn't invite her to be a military advisor, and she was really wronged.
It's not good to do the right thing, but it's good to be framed by crooked ways.
Ruan Wanwan's eyes were filled with disgust, she hated these methods, if it weren't for Bei Liangye, Ruan Wanwan really wanted to leave and never touch these again.
"Crown Princess...... Crown Princess, what's wrong with you? β
Ruan Wanwan was falling into her own thoughts, and the voice of iris suddenly sounded in her ears, gently calling Ruan Wanwan.
Ruan Wanwan: "No, what's going on with the prince?" β
Even if he knew that Bei Liangye was not going to spoil others, but when he thought that he went to someone else's yard, Ruan Wanwan's heart was very uncomfortable.
"I didn't see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince today, the slave and maid have already explained to the crown princess about last night's incident, it's not what the crown princess thinks, the prince may be busy with official business today."
Iris is afraid that the two masters will misunderstand each other again, and as a bystander, Iris understands the friendship between the two best.
It's obviously a couple of lovers, why do they separate every time because of a misunderstanding? Iris didn't want them to misunderstand, and every word was explaining.
"You don't have to explain it to him, I understand." Ruan Wanwan looked at Iris who tried her best to explain, and smiled helplessly, Iris was simply more worried about their feelings than them.
"Iris, I remember you saying that someone came to report that they drugged me." Ruan Wanwan didn't know what to think, Ruan Wanwan, who was originally lying on the chair softly, suddenly sat upright.
Ruan Wanwan asked, "Who is this whistleblower?" β
"It's Xiao Luxi, Concubine Xiao's mother." Iris responded immediately, and she looked at Ruan Wanwan with some puzzlement.
Why ask who told it? The man who dared to denounce it certainly didn't do anything in it.
If she did it, why would she denounce it, she must try her best to hide it.
Iris was very puzzled, and looked at Ruan Wanwan in confusion, and Ruan Wanwan looked at Iris like this.
Ruan Wanwan suddenly sneered, she said: "If you don't understand, don't think about it, don't say you don't understand, I can't figure it out." β
"What can't the crown princess understand?" has been by Ruan Wanwan's side for so long, and Ruan Wanwan is the smartest person that Iris selfishly thinks.
The crown princess is really the kind of innocent little girl who seems to be stupid, but in fact she is a smart person with her own ideas and a good person, Iris thought to herself.
Ruan Wanwan didn't know these thoughts in Iris's heart, and if she knew, she would definitely be amused again.
Ruan Wanwan explained solemnly: "I just don't understand, how could Xiao Luxi denounce them? and personally denounced them to the prince. β
Ruan Wanwan shook her head with a sigh, it seemed that Ruan Wanwan was indeed very puzzled by this matter.
"Maybe Concubine Xiao happened to know about this matter, and she wanted to ask for credit in front of His Royal Highness the Prince, so she reported it."
Iris said what she thought in her heart, and Ruan Wanwan glanced at Iris as if to say that she was naΓ―ve.
Xiao Luxi doesn't seem to be an enemy of himself, and he has no quarrel with the world to eat fasting and chant Buddha, but in fact, he has his own plans in his heart.
And if there is really no quarrel with the world, how can he marry the prince as a side concubine?
married to the crown prince, destined to stand at the center of public opinion, even if it is just a concubine, this concubine must have many interests behind her.
It's not that simple, and Iris's naΓ―ve thought so.
Ruan Wanwan received the news here and found clues, and Bei Liangye also found it, and it was the same as what Ruan Wanwan found.
The ones who pointed to Qin Yurou took a Jiang Huaiyuan outside, and now, Bei Liangye is punishing them in Qin Yurou's courtyard.
"His Royal Highness the Prince, the concubine knows that she is wrong."
"His Royal Highness the Prince, you can spare the concubine, the concubine will never dare again."
Bei Liangye was furious and wanted to punish Jiang Huaiyuan for being demoted to a concubine, from the original side concubine to a concubine, who could bear such a gap.
For a while, the entire courtyard could only hear the cries of Jiang Huaiyuan and Qin Yurou.
Xiao Luxi stood behind Bei Liangye and looked at them, a trace of unbearability appeared on his beautiful face.
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, they already know that they are wrong, it is better to spare them."
Bei Liangye glanced at Xiao Luxi, who interceded for them, and thought of what was behind the two of them.
Bei Liangye pretended to listen to persuasion and said: "Then listen to Concubine Xiao's leniency, be grounded for three months and fined for half a year." β
"And you, as an accomplice, you will be grounded for one month and fined for three months." After speaking, Bei Liangye pointed at Qin Yurou, with a warning in his eyes.
