Chapter 432: The Truth
Knowing that twelve days had passed, Gu Feiyan was completely safe, and the whole person was weak, so Ming Xuanze ordered someone to make chicken soup for her overnight.
Early in the morning, Ming Xuanze appeared in the study and ordered someone to bring Ling'er over.
"It's you, who poisoned the mother?" Ming Xuanze asked casually.
"The slave doesn't have it, even if the slave and the maid are bold, the slave and the maid don't dare to poison the mother." Ling'er looked aggrieved and tried her best to defend herself.
"Really?" Ming Xuanze sneered, "What about the medicinal powder found in your room?" β
"What powder? The slave doesn't know. Ling'er shook her head, "Perhaps, maybe someone wants to frame the slave." β
"You are a slave, who has any incentive to frame you?" Ming Xuanze said coldly.
"Your Majesty, the slave and maid are soft-spoken, and naturally anyone can bully the slave and maid casually." Ling'er didn't seem to be scared at all.
"Death is on the verge of death, and you still want to fool me, do you want to say that it was Lu Chuxuan who did all this, and the sisters were jealous of each other?" Ming Xuanze said slowly, he had long known Ling'er's tricks.
When Ling'er heard this, she was stunned for a moment, and a trace of panic crossed her eyes, but she still pretended to be calm, "How could it be." β
"Today, I will let you die to understand, the master you protected until death killed your whole family and abandoned the corpse in the wilderness, do you still insist on protecting her?" Ming Xuanze said coldly, before this, he had already ordered someone to investigate, and learned about Ye Xinlan from the spies.
The reason why he didn't expose it was that he forced Ling'er to tell the truth in despair, and only in this way did Ling'er, a chess piece, play her due role.
"What?" When Ling'er heard this, her eyes were full of disbelief.
Ming Xuanze clapped his hands, and suddenly someone handed over a tray, which contained a fragment of a white jade bracelet.
"Doesn't this thing sound familiar? This kind of white jade is rare, it was a gift from the Queen Mother when your biological mother entered the palace, it is unique, you won't be unrecognizable, right? β
Ling'er looked at the broken jade, and was suddenly a little frightened, she never dreamed that the benefactor she had thanked so much was actually the enemy who killed her whole family.
Originally, when Ye Xinlan said that she had settled her whole family, she was still grateful to Ye Xinlan, and secretly swore in her heart that she would swear to her to the death, which seems ridiculous now.
"Now you believe it, right?" Ming Xuanze raised his eyebrows, "As long as you are willing to confront you face-to-face and tell who is behind the scenes, I will definitely open up to you." β
"Your Majesty, I said, I said everything, all this was done by Ye Xinlan, she asked me to be her eyeliner, helped her supervise Gu Feiyan, she also gave me a large sum of silver, and said that I had settled my family and let my brother be promoted to become rich, and she also asked me to spread gossip, saying that Niangniang was stealing people outside, and asked me to ask Niangniang out to humiliate in public." Ling'er looked at the broken jade, her face was full of heartache, and she explained everything.
Sure enough, Ming Xuanze had already guessed that he could have tortured Ling'er for questioning, but what he wanted was Ling'er's accusation that he was intact, maybe in this way he could bring down Ye Xinlan.
Now it seems that the broken jade that made Ling'er collapse is obviously much better than torture.
Ming Xuanze called Ye Xinlan over to confront him, and the divine doctor was also on the scene.
"Ye Xinlan, there are all human and material evidence, this time, what else do you have to say?" Ming Xuanze said coldly.
"Yes, I did all these things." Ye Xinlan simply admitted it, but her face was fearless, "What if I do it?" Ming Xuanze, don't forget, I am the family of the Queen Mother, if I have three long and two short, the Queen Mother will not give up. β
"You ......" Ming Xuanze raised his hand and wanted to slap her, but his hand suddenly froze in midair.
Ye Xinlan leaned her face over defiantly, "You fight, Ming Xuanze, if you dare to hit me, you will slap the face of the Queen Mother!" β
Looking at Ye Xinlan's face, Ming Xuanze withdrew his hand angrily, indeed, with his current strength, facing the Queen Mother, he was not sure, and he didn't want to expose himself too early.
Ye Xinlan is right, he really can't do anything with her now.
After Ye Xinlan left, Ming Xuanze overturned the table.
Looking at Gu Feiyan lying on the bed, her cheeks had lost a lot of weight, and Ming Xuanze suddenly went over and stroked her cheek, "Yan'er, I'm sorry, it's useless." β
"It's okay, I know you have concerns." Gu Feiyan shook his head, fortunately he was not impulsive, otherwise it would really not end well.
"I'm not reconciled, what if she's the queen mother's person, I have a way to let her die without a place to be buried!" Ming Xuanze's face suddenly became extremely cold, and when he saw the haggard Gu Feiyan, he felt even more useless, and he was determined to breathe a sigh of relief for her.
"Don't!" Gu Feiyan grabbed his wrist, "If you can't bear it, you will make a big plan, what we have to do now is to wait and see what happens, and it is easy to startle the snake if you act rashly." β
Gu Feiyan's words made Ming Xuanze come back to his senses, indeed, he can't act rashly now.
However, he was very unwilling!
Ye Xinlan returned to her residence, her thoughts were restless, she had a showdown with Ming Xuanze today, and she was afraid that the future would not be easy, but she knew that she was safe for the time being.
Early the next morning, Ye Xinlan's nurse was summoned away, and she didn't come back at dusk.
"Granny Liu, she was given to death because she collided with the emperor."
Hearing this news, Ye Xinlan suddenly felt dizzy, it seemed that Ming Xuanze was warning her not to act rashly, but did he really think that he could deal with himself in this way? Still too naΓ―ve!
The last time he discussed with the officials of the same dynasty, he had to give up because of Aunt Lu's interference, which made him very unwilling.
After the last incident, I simply sent someone to investigate.
In fact, Ye Liancheng is also a good choice, he is low-key and humble, and he has a ruthless spirit, which can be regarded as having the basic conditions for inheriting the imperial industry.
Now there are many things like open and secret struggle between various forces, and there are many things like winning over forces, if it can become the dark line of the Queen Mother, it is not a good choice to add fuel to the flames at a critical moment.
It's a pity that Lu Chuxuan didn't get the emperor's favor, in fact, it also shows in disguise that the emperor may not like to move closer to his own side of the power, so why bother with a hot face and a cold ass?
Thinking of this, Ye Wanli once again made some calculations in his heart, and an emperor with a disabled leg was not to be afraid.
