Chapter Three Hundred and Twenty Five: The First Prince Assassinated
She raised her head and looked at Xiao Luxi seriously.
"Today, Concubine Xiao is intent." Ruan Wanwan said calmly and took the tea, but she didn't drink it.
Seeing that she didn't drink tea, Xiao Luxi's face was a little puzzled.
"A few days ago, because of Lan Ziyuan's incident, I sprained my foot and was taking medicine and it was inconvenient to drink tea." Ruan Wanwan turned her head and looked at the cup of tea and said.
Xiao Luxi chuckled: "So that's the case, that's because I was negligent."
Ruan Wanwan shook her head and placed the cup of tea on the table.
"Okay, it's getting late. Since you've asked for peace, why don't you go back early." Ruan Wanwan said, glanced at Qiuyue and asked her to send Xiao Luxi out.
As soon as she sent Xiao Luxi out, Ruan Wanwan felt exhausted all over her body. She had been in a long time last night and could no longer bear it today.
Seeing Qiuyue coming, Ruan Wanwan said calmly: "Isn't the maid who was following Xiao Luxi before her?"
After Ruan Wanwan asked this, Qiuyue suddenly realized it. No wonder she had always felt something was wrong recently. It turned out that it was the maid who was next to Xiao Luxi, not the one she used to be.
She nodded vigorously.
"Since that's the case, then you go and check the identity of this maid." Ruan Wanwan said, lifting the quilt and lying down to take a break.
Qiuyue tucked the quilt for her and closed the windows so that she would not catch a cold.
By the time Ruan Wanwan got up, Qiuyue had already found out about the maid next to Xiao Luxi.
"Empress, I have already asked what you said before. This is what the Xiao family said that in order to better take care of Concubine Xiao, the maid selected from the mansion was sent to her side to take care of her." Qiuyue whispered.
Ruan Wanwan felt a little confused after hearing this.
"Xiao Luxi's body has nothing unusual and does not need to be taken care of at all. Moreover, the maid who used to be with her for a long time has been with her, and she should be the clearest about her preferences. Now she has suddenly changed to a maid. I'm afraid she may not be able to take good care of her, right?" Ruan Wanwan was full of doubts.
After she said this, even Qiu Yue had a lot of doubts in her heart.
"The maid I used to go now. I went to inquire today. I heard that it was just sent out of the palace." Qiuyue said.
Is it just sent out of the palace?
Ruan Wanwan is not at the moment interested in what the maid in Xiao Luxi had before, she just wants to take care of the present.
"Okay, I understand. Go and send someone to watch it. Remember to pay attention to the whereabouts of the maid next to her every day." Ruan Wanwan said with a headache.
Qiuyue responded and said, "Do you suspect there is something wrong with this maid?"
Ruan Wanwan nodded affirmatively.
Ever since she learned that Xiao Luxi was not the biological daughter of the Xiao family at all, she became suspicious of Xiao Luxi.
In addition, the prince fainted without any warning today, and even the imperial physician didn't know what was going on. Before the news could be spread, Xiao Luxi came over.
Especially saying that to her made Ruan Wanwan feel more confident that Xiao Luxi must have a problem.
Looking at Xiao Luxi like this, Ruan Wanwan couldn't guess who sent her.
"On the side of Your Highness, you can choose some capable people to take care of them yourself. Remember not to make any mistakes." Ruan Wanwan said word by word.
Just as she finished saying this, the queen suddenly sent someone here.
"Empress, Empress said there is something important to ask you to come to the palace." The palace servant looked at Ruan Wanwan and said.
Ruan Wanwan sorted out her sideburns: "Does it mean something?"
The palace servant looked up at Ruan Wanwan: "The Empress didn't say anything, but she should be very anxious. She also asked the Crown Princess to enter the palace now."
I don’t know what was anxious, but Ruan Wanwan didn’t care about anything else and could only ask Qiuyue to protect Beiliangye here.
When she entered the palace, she saw the queen sitting on the phoenix chair with anxiety on her face, and the whole Fengyi Palace was quiet.
It was so quiet that she felt so depressed that she felt uncomfortable as soon as she came in.
"Empress?"
Ruan Wanwan was about to kneel down to pay his respects, and the queen immediately pulled her up.
"It is an important thing for the palace to call you here today. When the eldest prince entered the palace, he was attacked in the woods outside the city." The queen said and shocked Ruan Wanwan.
But in a flash, she became even more confused. What did the attack on the eldest prince when he entered the palace have to do with her?
"I wonder what the purpose of this matter is to ask my mother to come over today?" Ruan Wanwan looked at the queen with questions.
"I'm asking you to come here today, so I naturally want to talk to you about this. The eldest prince went to the palace and was secretly summoned, and others didn't know about it." The more the queen said, the worse her face was.
Ruan Wanwan was puzzled, but she guessed something.
"Does the queen mother know who did this?" Ruan Wanwan asked in a tangled manner.
The queen looked up at Ruan Wanwan, and the expression on her face was hard to describe: "Now all the clues point to the prince, saying that the eldest prince was assassinated by the prince."
When Ruan Wanwan heard that this was pulled on Bei Liangye's head, she felt annoyed.
She stood up directly: "Mother, this is definitely not done by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
Looking at Ruan Wanwan's sure look, the queen waved her hand with a headache and signaled her to sit down first.
"I also know that this was not done by him. What is the need for him to harm the eldest prince? But now all the evidence has pointed to him." The queen felt more and more troubled.
She was afraid that Bei Liangye would know about this, and that his temperament would be unsustainable, so she called Ruan Wanwan to the palace first, thinking about discussing with her first.
"Empress, the prince is in poor health now and has fainted, so no one can do this by His Highness." Ruan Wanwan's eyes looked at the queen with certainty and said.
When the queen heard Bei Liangye fainting, she became even more nervous.
"When did this happen? Why didn't you come to the palace to talk to me? I won't tell me about such a big thing. If something really happens, then how can that be good?" The queen's questioning question after another was much more solemn than the tone just now.
Ruan Wanwan lowered her head: "It was last night. Because the imperial doctor came here and did not find out the cause of the disease, the son minister suppressed this matter first and personally protected His Royal Highness the Crown Prince for one night."
