Chapter 55: Xiao Rong confesses
The news of the emperor's critical illness spread throughout the capital in an instant. For a time, there was a tense atmosphere in the entire capital. After all, once the emperor is changed, it will not have no impact on the people.
The queen waited for news in Fulai Palace all day, but after several days, there was no good news. The queen called the imperial physician and asked the imperial physician why the emperor's condition had improved.
The imperial physician endured the trembling hands and fooled the queen and said that there are individual differences in the onset of poison, and the emperor may have prolonged the time of the poison because his original body was relatively strong, so that the queen could wait patiently for a few more days.
The emperor has been in a coma and unable to go to court, and the ministers of the court and the central government are in different moods. The princelings were proud in their hearts, and as long as the emperor died and the prince succeeded to the throne, they, the princelings, could be promoted and rich. The royalist ministers were convinced that the emperor could recover, and they did not agree with the crown prince to handle the affairs of the court on his behalf. There is also a part of the Anwang Party that is calm and introverted and is still waiting.
The queen mother couldn't afford to be sick because of the emperor's affairs, but fortunately, her consciousness was still sober, and she sent the palace maid to inquire about the emperor's situation every day. After learning that the queen only went to take care of the emperor on the first day of his coma, she never went to see the emperor again, and the queen mother sighed sadly. Since ancient times, the royal family has been affectionate, not only the emperor has little affection for the concubines, but the women in this harem are even more affectionate to the emperor!
In the blink of an eye, the tenth day of the new year has arrived.
According to the emperor's decree on the New Year, this day is the day when Ye Yuxiang, the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the crown prince Murong Lang get married. Now although the emperor is unconscious, the holy decree is still counted. So, Murong Lang and Ye Yuxiang got married as originally planned. Although it can be regarded as a joy for the emperor, because the atmosphere in the palace is really bleak, the wedding is not a big deal, everything is simple, and Ye Yuxiang has become the official crown princess.
The Prime Minister's Mansion took advantage of the reason that good things came in pairs, and the marriage of Ye Zhuangfei and Su Ziyu was also handled by the way.
Murong Lang, the heartless prince, the emperor was still seriously ill in bed and unconscious, but he was very happy to marry the crown princess and enjoy the Spring Festival to the fullest.
Anwangfu.
Since Murong Cheng'an confessed affectionately that day, the relationship between the two has further developed, and now they are like a couple in love. Of course, the premise is to ignore Murong Cheng'an's crazy words and deeds.
Since he made up his mind to be the hostess of King An Mansion for the rest of his life, Ye Lingxi has carried out a clean-up and rectification of King An's Mansion.
First of all, Ye Lingxi revised the rules of King An's Mansion in more detail to ensure that the subordinates perform their duties, and no one will take wages in vain, and there will be no situation where tasks are overly concentrated on a few people.
In addition, Ye Lingxi understood the subordinates of King An's Mansion thoroughly. With this understanding, Ye Lingxi found that there were many ghosts in King An's Mansion!
A considerable number of subordinates were transferred from the palace, some were rewarded by the emperor, and some were rewarded by the queen. Ye Lingxi has reason to suspect that these people are eyeliner from the palace! It turned out that her every move in King An's Mansion would be known to the emperor and queen in the palace without omission! It's so privacyless!
However, these subordinates who were rewarded from the palace were very difficult to deal with. On the bright side, if they didn't do anything wrong, they couldn't kick them out of the palace, let alone send them back to the palace. Despise the reward, this is a great disrespect to the emperor and the queen.
In the end, the witty Ye Lingxi came up with a reasonable solution, that is, to arrange all these subordinates to the most marginal position of King An's Mansion, and they were out of sight and out of mind on weekdays.
In the process of arranging, Ye Lingxi once again noticed Xiao Rong, the girl who dropped the gift she prepared for the Queen Mother. These days, Xiaolian has secretly paid attention to Xiao Rong, and found that she has been doing her own things honestly and without any unusual behavior, so that Ye Lingxi almost forgot about her.
Xiao Rong is not a girl rewarded by the palace, but a girl who married with the Prime Minister's Mansion when Ye Lingxi married into King An's Mansion. For her master, Ye Lingxi also had a guess in her heart. I haven't pierced her before, I want to see what her master wants to do. Now, Ye Lingxi decided to have a showdown with Xiao Rong and interrogate Xiao Rong head-on.
Under Ye Lingxi's soft and hard interrogation, Xiao Rong quickly confessed and kept begging for mercy. As Ye Lingxi guessed, Xiao Rong's master is indeed Ye Yuzhen.
"The princess, the slave and the maid were also forced, and the slave and the maid did not want to frame the princess, and begged the princess to spare the slave and maid this time, and the slave and maid will be a cow and a horse for the princess in the future to repay the princess's kindness! The princess spares her life! ”
Ye Lingxi sighed, Ye Yuzhen is dead, and it can be regarded as paying the price for what she did, this Xiao Rong is just a gun of Ye Yuzhen, and she can't help herself.
"That's it, now that Ye Yuzhen is dead, this princess no longer cares about the past. You follow the tasks assigned to you by Xiaolian and continue to work in King An's Mansion. ”
Xiao Rong didn't expect Ye Lingxi to be so easy to discuss, so she spared her so easily. You must know that because of her bag drop, Ye Lingxi almost died in prison!
Ye Lingxi treats his subordinates very softly in King An's Mansion on weekdays, which is obvious to all the subordinates of King An's Mansion, and now he has forgiven Xiao Rong, which makes Xiao Rong very moved. She really followed the wrong master in the past, and Princess An in front of her is the most worthy master for her!
"Slave and maid, thank the princess for sparing her life! Princess, in fact, the slave maid still wants to report to the princess, I don't know the princess, would you like to listen to the slave maid? ”
Ye Lingxi thought that Xiao Rong would thank her and leave, but she didn't expect her to say something. Could it be that Ye Yuzhen once framed her for something else?!
"You say."
Xiao Rong took a deep breath and said something that shocked Ye Lingxi.
"Does the princess feel that since the day she married Prince An, many memories have been suddenly lost?"
Ye Lingxi chuckled in her heart, how could Xiao Rong know that she was missing the original memory of Ye Lingxi? Could it be that there is another secret to her marrying Murong Chengan?
"Okay, what's wrong? What exactly are you trying to say? ”
Ye Lingxi looked indifferent on the surface, but in fact, he was very curious about Xiao Rong's next words. She didn't dare to show her timidity, worried that Xiao Rong would blackmail her with this. Hum...... Good thing I'm witty!
"Princess, in fact, before you married Prince An, you were not your current temperament at all, and you must not remember the things in the Prime Minister's Mansion. After marrying Prince An, you have lost your old memories. This is because, the day before you married Prince An, the Prime Minister poisoned you. ”
Ye Lingxi's heart was turbulent, but the surface was still light and light.
The prime minister, this old puppet, actually poisoned her?! What poison, why doesn't she feel anything?! Will it be life-threatening?!
"You said that the prime minister poisoned this princess, what evidence do you have?"
Xiao Rong kowtowed again and again: "Princess, the slave maid has no evidence in her hand, but this matter is true, the eldest lady told the slave maid herself!" ”
Ye Yuzhen told her?!
"Why did Ye Yuzhen tell you this?"
"The eldest lady sent the slave maid to follow the princess to the palace of King An, everything was under the orders of the eldest lady, and the eldest lady wanted to secretly harm the princess, so she told the slave and maid about it, so that the slave and maid could observe the princess secretly."
"Then did she say that the prime minister gave this princess some kind of poison?"
Ye Lingxi gradually asked the question she was most concerned about, and her face was still indifferent on the surface.
"What kind of poison is it, the eldest lady didn't say, only said that this poison will make the princess lose her memory in the Prime Minister's Mansion."
"Okay, this princess knows. After talking to this princess today, let's forget about it. Do you understand what this princess means? ”
Ye Lingxi is also an acting school, holding the princess's shelf, and the words she said were light but full of shock, so frightened that Xiao Rong kowtowed again and again to express her understanding.
After Xiao Rong retreated, Ye Lingxi carefully analyzed what Xiao Rong said and felt that it was still credible. Because, she had already spared Xiao Rong just now, and it stands to reason that Xiao Rong doesn't need to say any more lies to her, it doesn't make any sense.
Besides, Xiao Rong's master, Ye Yuzhen, is dead, and she has no other better way than to work in King An's Mansion with peace of mind. Unless, Xiao Rong's real master is not Ye Yuzhen, but someone else.
Ye Lingxi's brain was running rapidly, guessing who Xiao Rong's real master might be. However, after thinking about it, Ye Lingxi felt that it still didn't make sense, no matter who Xiao Rong's master was, what good would it do him if he asked Xiao Rong to tell him about the prime minister's poisoning of himself? Could it be that this person has an enmity with the prime minister and wants to use himself against the prime minister? Then he could have made up other things about the prime minister's abuse of her, not to mention that the prime minister poisoned her......
Ye Lingxi was puzzled, the most important thing is that if what Xiao Rong said was true, then wouldn't she have a strange poison in her body?! Doctor Wang has checked her pulse so many times, and has never mentioned that she was poisoned. Either she wasn't poisoned at all, or the poison was too powerful and too hidden, and even the skilled Imperial Doctor couldn't diagnose it!
Ye Lingxi suddenly broke out in a cold sweat on his back...... Only she knows that she lacks the memory of the Prime Minister's Mansion entirely because she is not the real Ye Lingxi at all. It's not that she lost her memory because of poisoning, but that she doesn't have any memories in the Prime Minister's Mansion at all!
The matter of crossing through rebirth already made Ye Lingxi feel very ridiculous and weird, and now there is also the original Ye Lingxi poisoning and amnesia!
In the past, Ye Lingxi had never deeply considered the matter of the original Ye Lingxi.
How did she die? Where did her soul go?
If the prime minister gave the original Ye Lingxi a poison that would make people lose their memory, it would definitely not be fatal. Because if the prime minister wants to poison Ye Lingxi, he can directly use poisons like Hedinghong, there is no need to beat around the bush like this.
The emperor gave her a marriage, and the prime minister must have hoped that the original Ye Lingxi could follow the holy decree and marry smoothly to King An's mansion, so he gave her the medicine to lose her memory to prevent her from making any trouble.
But if the original Ye Lingxi hadn't died, how did the current Ye Lingxi occupy her body? If this body takes the antidote one day, will the original Ye Lingxi come back?!
