Chapter 48 Mutual Suspicion Behind the Scenes
Yin Lingyue was about to get on the chariot, but Wuling arrived first.
"I paid homage to the noble man Yin, and the noble man would be happy forever." He was very respectful, no different from usual.
"Why are you here? I am about to go to meet the saint." Yin Lingyue looked at the chariot that sent Liu Bao to him before he came out, and she secretly shouted in her heart. In this way, she was passive.
"Your Majesty has a good relationship with the noble man. Your Majesty is in the Hall of Happiness at this time, so please let me move you." Wuling took a step forward and looked at Yin quietly: "Because the noble man is pregnant, it is hard to get around. Your Majesty asked the servant to invite the imperial chariot over and ask the noble man to move onto the chariot."
After hearing that it was Your Majesty’s arrangement, Yin Lingyue couldn’t help but feel happy. “Thank you for your kindness.”
She followed Wuling onto the imperial chariot with Mo Li's hand, and then said, "Then use my chariot to take Baoer back to Hehuan Palace."
Wuling's eyebrows moved and asked hurriedly: "Is the noble princess in your Yongle Palace?"
"Yes." Yin Lingyue smiled slightly: "The child is the same. I don't know when he came here. He hid secretly in the palace. When he found out, he might be exhausted and slept very hard. He had not woken up yet. He was about to send her back to Hehuan Palace, and you came here."
"I understand." Wuling didn't say much, but just ordered someone to help the slave in Yongle Palace to carry the eldest princess onto the chariot.
Along the way, Yin Lingyue felt unhappy.
She couldn't figure it out. Deng Sui used his skills and conquered Zhou Yunji's heart in just a few months. Zhou Yunji clearly was a master who didn't like to wade into the muddy waters. Why did she believe her words and think about her? Even her daughter was willing to give up. This was incredible.
Maybe I was so immersed in my mind that I didn’t pay much attention to the surrounding scenery.
When the carriage was parked in Hehuan Hall, Yin Lingyue wondered why she stopped. After a closer look, it turned out that it had arrived.
"Be careful, nobleman." Mo Li was attentive and carefully helped Yin Lingyue get off the carriage.
At this time, the slaves from Hehuan Palace had already come out to help.
Yin Lingyue winked, and Mo Li quickly summoned someone to send the eldest princess in first.
"Your Majesty, beauty, the eldest princess is back!" Meng Miao said with red eyes and choked: "Guy Yin has sent the eldest princess back."
"Really?" Zhou Yunji rushed to the door and watched An Gu come in with Baoer in with Baoer in his arms. Tears fell down. "God is merciful, Your Majesty protects me, my Baoer is finally back."
Liu Zhao glanced at Deng Sui, and she looked at Zhou Yunji calmly and calmly. There was indeed joy between her eyebrows and eyes, and her heart was slightly relieved.
"Baoer, Baoer..." Zhou Yunji was so scared that she was so scared that her eyes were closed in her arms, and she couldn't wake her up. "Baoer, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me, look at my mother!"
"My beauty Zhou, don't worry, I've invited you. Come here." Wuling quickly asked the imperial physician to step forward.
Zhou Yunji took Bao'er to His Majesty with tears in her eyes and placed it in place, then she quickly knelt on the table. "Do you please take a look, what's wrong with Bao'er?"
"No." The imperial physician agreed and bowed. Then he quickly asked for the pulse of the eldest princess Liu Bao.
When Yin Lingyue walked in, the emperor's eyes fell completely on the eldest princess and did not raise her head.
Even so, she walked in with affection and stared at his clearly contoured face. "I wish you a greeting to Your Majesty."
Deng Sui gently bowed his head to Yin Lingyue and said hello: "Good Yin, I am."
"Guru Deng is in the same place." Yin Lingyue walked to the emperor and bowed: "I am tired and got up a little late. I heard that the eldest princess was missing, so Angu found her in the palace. The child ran into Yongle Palace for some time, and was so tired that he kept sleeping. I was afraid that Your Majesty and Beauty Zhou were anxious, so I was about to send her back. Wuling led the imperial chariot. It can be seen that Your Majesty and I have a good relationship."
Liu Zhao frowned and smiled: "Of course. I have been in love with you for many years, so why can't Lingxi not be there? But where did Angu find Baoer?"
Yin Lingyue frowned and said, "It's by the well in the backyard."
When Zhou Yunji heard the word "明", his heart trembled. Fortunately, he was by the well, what if he was in the well?
"That's strange." Wang Ruoying was originally not concerned about this matter and forced herself to pretend to be concerned. So she kept drinking tea next to her and didn't say much. But at this moment, seeing that Concubine Deng didn't speak, she felt upset when she saw Zhou Yunji holding her breath. If she didn't even dare to say this, it would be too cheap.
"What?" Yin Lingyue looked at her, and a cold shadow flashed through her heart.
"Yongle Palace is your bedroom for noble people. You have a noble status and are pregnant now. The guards guarding outside the palace are also carefully selected warriors. The eldest princess is less than three years old, how could it be that he will not be discovered? Could it be that those guards are blind?" Wang Ruoying leaned her head and lowered her head to His Majesty and said in a leisurely manner: "It is really inappropriate for such a person to stay in Yongle Palace to serve. Today I was unable to see the eldest princess walk in. If an assassin came swaying in the future, wouldn't it endanger the safety of Yin Guiren? Your Majesty, I think that even if any garrison on duty has to be rewarded with a board. Life is at stake, how can they not care about it like this?"
In the palace, I am afraid that this is the only one who dares to speak in person.
Yin Lingyue's hand was hidden in her wide sleeves and clenched slightly. Her face couldn't help but look cold. "Your Majesty, what Wang Cainu said is right. I also think that the garrison in the palace was too negligent. But if Baoer hadn't walked into Yongle Palace, someone had sent her in there. Before the matter was found out, it would be too arbitrary to send the garrison in such a hurry."
Wang Ruoying smiled ashamed and said, "I am so quick to speak, I hope that the noble man Yin will forgive me."
The depression in my heart eased a little, and Yin Lingyue was about to say something.
I heard Wang Ruoying speak again.
"I heard from Yin Guiren that he didn't know when the eldest princess would go to Yongle Palace to play, so I thought it was the eldest princess who ran in by herself. Then I was anxious to ask His Majesty to send those irresponsible guards. I hope Yin Guiren will not blame me for being reckless, if you care, it will be messy." Wang Ruoying's humble smile did not mean any humility.
Yin Lingyue felt that the anger in her arms was about to break through and spurt out, but when she looked at the emperor with a calm face, the smile on her face became gentle. "Wang Cainu is so concerned about this noble person, how could she end up blaming me? But now we have to first figure out why Baoer appeared in Yongle Palace. As for whether the garrison is responsible and whether it needs punishment, it is all a matter of later."
His tone was a little gentler, and Yin Lingyue looked at the emperor affectionately: "Everything depends on Your Majesty."
Liu Zhao turned his head and looked at Deng Sui who said nothing, frowned: "How does Guiren Deng view this matter?"
"I..." Deng Sui stared at me and said, "I thought at this time, I would like to see what the situation of the eldest princess is like first, and then solve the situation afterwards. After all, the wet nurse and maid were poisoned because of taking the eldest princess's diet. The whole story must be not as simple as seeing.
"Poisoned?" Yin Lingyue pretended to be surprised: "Why is there such a thing? Your Majesty, what happened to Hehuan Palace? I am useless and I have been resting all the time, but I didn't know about it."
"You sit down first." Liu Zhao couldn't help frowning when he looked at her panic.
"No." Yin Lingyue then walked closer and chose a seat between Deng Sui and the emperor. She wanted to tell Deng Sui that no matter when, she was the one who was closest to His Majesty, she was always there.
"How is it?" Zhou Yunji asked the imperial physician in a crying voice: "Does Baoer matter?"
"Don't worry, beauty, the eldest princess showed no sign of poisoning. It was just... she was lit with a sleepy acupoint." The imperial physician said very hesitant.
"What?" Zhou Yunji was confused: "I lit my sleepy acupoint? Why... Bao'er is still so young?"
Liu Zhao was also particularly strange. If he wanted to attack the emperor and blame someone in the harem of the palace, and his close maid and wet nurse were poisoned, how could he just click the acupoint to make Baoer faint? The intention to do so was too strange.
"Wuling asked someone to untie the acupoints." Liu Zhao took a deep breath and asked the imperial physician again: "Is there anything wrong with it just being lit?"
"I can be sure of it." The imperial physician said respectfully.
Wuling retreated first.
After nodding slightly, Liu Zhao reminded Zhou Yunji: "Don't pay attention to other things for now and take good care of Bao'er."
"I hope I will leave first." Zhou Yunji breathed a sigh of relief. With Mengmiao's help, she hurriedly left the main hall with Baoer in her arms.
"Your Majesty, since the matter is in my Yongle Palace, I'll ask your Majesty to let me check it out personally. Although Bao'er was just lit up and couldn't wake up, it was the blood of His Majesty Princess. If such a big thing happened, it would be really uneasy if I didn't investigate it clearly." Yin Lingyue took the initiative and did not want the emperor to hand this matter over to others.
Naturally, she knew what she was thinking, so Liu Zhao nodded: "Okay, you can check it carefully in Yongle Palace. As for the Hehuan Palace, I will personally prepare it."
"Thank you, Your Majesty." Yin Lingyue's eyes turned, and the tenderness in her eyes couldn't help but reveal her. "Your Majesty, when I just came out, I asked someone to stew ginseng and steamed chicken. It's time for me to have a meal. Why not go back to Yongle Palace with me?"
With a warm smile, Liu Zhao nodded slightly.
Yin Lingyue was happy again. She thought that no matter what means Guiren Deng used, he would not make His Majesty suspect that it was her. In this way, she was so happy to see that she was ugly.
"I have someone to send you back. If you are pregnant, it is difficult to work." Liu Zhao had no intention of going to Yongle Palace at all. Although the words he said were gentle, there was no sign of pity for the fragrance and sacrificing jade.
"Your Majesty..." Yin Lingyue couldn't help but be shocked: "Even if the government is busy, you have to take care of the dragon body, it's better..."
"I still have some things to discuss with Guiren Deng." Liu Zhao thought for a while and said, "I have time to go over and see you."
It was so straightforward that Yin Lingyue couldn't hold on anymore, so she nodded and agreed: "Then I will go back to the palace first."
"Go." Liu Zhao looked at her with his eyes closed. Although the smile on his lips was obvious, there was no warmth.
Could it be that Your Majesty is suspicious of me? Yin Lingyue thought to herself, very uneasy. It seems that this time she really found out the person behind the trouble! She glanced coldly at Deng Sui, and then she took Mo Li's hand and walked away from the main hall slowly.
Deng Sui saw that glance very clearly and felt cold in his heart.
Could it be that this matter was not done by Concubine Yin, but someone brought her and her into it?
Who has such good skills in the harem? (To be continued)
