Chapter 86 An Lingrong (86)
After being scolded by Lipin, Huanbi became obedient.
The Queen continued to push the process: "Princess Zhen, since you said that Concubine Wan had an affair, who was the adulterer?"
As soon as the Queen asked this question, An Lingrong saw that everyone in Jingren Palace suddenly focused their attention on Concubine Zhen. Especially Concubine Qi, the gossipy light flashing in her eyes almost burned Concubine Zhen.
But Concubine Zhen was not afraid. She spoke boldly: "The imperial physician is here!"
An Lingrong sighed inwardly. Why did the Queen always get the wrong numbers after finding the right formula?
Looking at Zhen Huan's arrogant and frivolous look, even her third marriage partner looks down on Wen Shichu, with whom she has had a childhood sweetheart relationship, let alone Wei Lin.
An Lingrong knew that the Queen had the wrong value because she had read the original plot, but other people didn't know.
Concubine Qi, the naughty child, began to speak boldly along the lines of Concubine Zhen: "Wei Lin is Concubine Wan's confidant and has to take her pulse every day. It's no wonder that they fell in love with each other over time. What's more, I heard that Concubine Wan and Doctor Wei's master, the former doctor Wen Shichu, were quite good friends. With this reason, I think the friendship between the two is extraordinary."
Concubine Qi spoke too quickly, and Concubine Jing tried to stop her but failed. She could only wink at her afterwards, telling her not to speak so quickly. Concubine Qi pursed her lips and responded silently.
But her words finally gave Concubine Zhen something to say: "Concubine Qi is right. It turns out that the deep love started that day."
Fang Chunyi added: "How can you two sisters speculate like this? Sister Wan Fei has been treated by the imperial physician Wei Lin since she was pregnant with Long Yue. Imperial physician Wei is a skilled doctor, so it is reasonable for Sister Wan Fei to rely on him. How can there be rumors of an affair?"
Kang Changzai became excited: "So, Concubine Wan had an affair with Wei Lin so early!"
Concubine Jing seemed to be defending Zhen Huan: "You guys are talking nonsense, do you have any evidence?"
Of course, Concubine Zhen would not just slander without any evidence. She clapped her hands and someone brought the witness Feiwen forward.
The Queen asked again: "Feiwen, when did you see it? What did you see? What did you hear? Tell me everything now!"
Fei Wen first glanced at Zhen Huan with a guilty conscience, then spoke: "That day, the queen was talking to Doctor Wei, and there was no one to serve inside, so I accompanied the Third Miss in. Who knew, who knew, I saw Doctor Wei holding the queen's hand, and the two of them sat opposite each other, looking at each other.
As soon as they saw me and the Third Young Miss coming in, they hastily withdrew their hands. I also saw that there was a scar as long as a little finger on the inside of Doctor Wei's wrist.
After that, the more I thought about it, the more scared I became. I was afraid that Your Majesty would kill me to silence me, so I had no choice but to ask Your Majesty Zhenpin to make the decision."
Kang Changzai was also a person who could associate things: "You are just a little palace maid and you have seen so many things. What about when you can't see? Aren't there many such things?"
Before Kang Changzai finished her words, Zhen Huan glared at her fiercely, but Kang Changzai was not afraid of Zhen Huan at all at this time, she continued to finish her words bravely. Not only will she finish this sentence, she will also speak more after that!
Humph, after committing such a heinous crime, Concubine Wan is nothing more than a grasshopper in autumn. Concubine Kang is not afraid!
The Queen ordered another criminal suspect, Wei Lin, to be brought to Jingren Palace while everyone took a break.
When Wei Lin arrived, he saw that almost all the concubines in the harem had come to Jingren Palace, so he knew that the people who came today might have bad intentions.
He had just paid his respects to the Queen and was about to ask what was going on when Jiang Fuhai rolled up his sleeves, and everyone saw that there was actually a scar deep on Wei Lin's wrist.
The Queen asked: "Doctor Wei, this scar looks like an old one. When did it appear?"
Wei Lin answered honestly that he got it accidentally when he was playful as a child, and the scar has been there ever since.
Seeing that if she didn't refute it, the accusation would soon be confirmed, Huanbi quickly refuted: "Empress, I think that the scar deep in Doctor Wei's wrist is not just one or two days old. Anyone who pays attention can find out. This doesn't mean anything."
Kang Changzai bravely retorted: "This is strange. How can a little imperial physician meet the imperial concubine as if she were at home, rolling up his sleeves and talking to her face to face? If this continues, when the imperial physician enters the palace of the imperial concubine, he will roll up his sleeves or take off his clothes. Is there anything he can't do?"
Wei Lin was also very good at responding to situations. "That day, Concubine Wan asked me to ask about Lady Bi's health. I heard that Lady Bi's health had been properly adjusted and she would be pregnant again in the future, so she rewarded me with a cup of tea. I was so happy that I rolled up my sleeves and lost my manners. I lost my manners."
Wei Lin knelt down to plead guilty, but Concubine Zhen would not let him go. "Could it be that Concubine Wan no longer cares about anyone in the Imperial Hospital except you? Otherwise, how could she entrust you to take care of her most beloved sister? It seems that the friendship between Concubine Wan and you is really extraordinary."
When Wei Lin was almost speechless, Zhen Huan changed the subject: "Fei Wen, when you were working in the palace, I didn't realize you had such a broad mind."
Zhen Huan began to test Fei Wen again by asking whether there was a glass vase on her desk, but Fei Wen answered incorrectly as in the previous life. Taking advantage of Fei Wen's mistake, Zhen Huan successfully fought back.
Fang Chunyi used the excuse of Buddhism's tranquility to try to lure Jingbai out.
While everyone was arguing, the emperor arrived.
The concubines paid their respects, and the emperor said, "There is no peace in the harem, how can I be at peace?"
When the emperor asked what happened, Concubine Zhen crossed the crowd and knelt in front of the emperor: "I want to report Concubine Wan for defiling the harem. Her crime is unforgivable!"
The emperor first glanced at everyone present, then gave Concubine Zhen a loud slap in the face: "Bitch! Nonsense!"
Regardless of whether this is true or false, Concubine Zhen should not have mentioned such a thing in front of so many people.
If this is true, how can he, the emperor, still have the dignity to speak in front of so many concubines in the harem?
The Queen interceded for Concubine Zhen, and after repeated consideration, the Emperor decided to summon Jingbai from Ganlu Temple to ask a question.
While Jingren Palace was interrogating Jingbai, Xiao Xiazi secretly asked someone to send a message to Zhen Yurao, who was still in Suiyuxuan, asking her to go out and seek external help.
Xiao Xiazi was busy, and Baoshu was busy too. She received instructions from An Lingrong and ordered a young eunuch to secretly go to Prince Guo's mansion outside the palace to inform Prince Guo of the news.
It was said that the Emperor already knew about his affair with Concubine Wan, and now Concubine Wan was being humiliated in front of everyone in Jingren Palace. "The Emperor said that he would not only kill Lingxi and Hongluo, but also take Concubine Wan to be executed. I have received a lot of favors from Concubine Wan, so I risked my life to come and report the news. Please, Your Majesty, save Concubine Wan!"
After saying these words, the young eunuch knelt on the ground and kowtowed.
Prince Guo was already in a state of panic at this time, and he wanted to take a horse and rush to the palace to rescue his Huan'er. However, the young eunuch was not familiar with where his study was, and before he came to his study, he "accidentally" disturbed the three women in his backyard.
