Chapter 147 The Man Behind the Scenes

Concubine Lu was stunned for a moment, "What Ayaka? Who is she?"

She just felt that the name sounded familiar, and it sounded like a palace maid, but she was sure that there was no such person around her.

Yun Wan was not in a hurry and let her think about it carefully.

Qiuyue, however, whispered, "Your Majesty, Lingxiang was originally from our Changchun Palace. Last year, she accidentally broke your favorite vase and was punished so she left Changchun Palace on her own."

“It turned out to be her.”

Concubine Lu suddenly remembered and met Yun Wan's gaze. She reacted and asked quickly, "What do you mean?"

She didn't believe that Yun Wan would mention a little palace maid with rough hands and feet for no reason.

Just then, Crescent Moon came back with an inconspicuous wooden box in her hand.

When you open the wooden box, the bright red coral bracelet comes into view.

Yun Wan: "Does Concubine Lu still recognize this bracelet?"

After she finished speaking, she quietly observed the changes in the other person's expression.

Concubine Lu glanced at it and said in confusion: "It's not mine, how could I recognize it?"

Yun Wan said nothing, but gestured for her to see more clearly.

Concubine Lu was about to pick up the bracelet when she heard Yun Wan say across from her, "Aren't the beads on it beautiful? Some of them are musk beads."

!

Concubine Lu's expression changed drastically, and she quickly withdrew her hand, her face filled with vigilance and anger: "What are you doing with this thing? Are you trying to harm me?!"

"I should be the one asking you this!"

Yun Wan slammed the teacup on the table, stared at her, and asked loudly, "Excuse me, Concubine Lu, why did you instruct Lingxiang to deliberately place the bracelet mixed with musk beads in my room? Why did you want to harm me?"

Concubine Lu: "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I ever order Ling Xiang to harm you? Yun Wan, if you have something to say, just say it, don't slander me!"

"You still don't admit it!"

Yun Wan sneered, "I happened to see Ayaka and her lover plotting how to put this thing in my room, so I followed their plan and found the musk beads on this bracelet."

"I think you know better than me what musk beads are used for. Prolonged contact with them can cause miscarriage, or even lifelong infertility. You have such a vicious heart!" She showed disgust on her face.

Concubine Lu was both angry and anxious, "How can you be so sure that it was me who ordered it?"

Yun Wan: "Ayaka has confessed that she was under your orders. The incident of breaking the vase last year was just a play between you two, master and servant, in order to wait for an opportunity to place her in another palace."

Concubine Lu's face turned pale: "It's not me! I never ordered anyone to put such a disgusting thing in your palace!"

Yun Wan: "But she insisted it was you."

Concubine Lu: "She is just making up stories and is holding a grudge against me for punishing her! She is deliberately framing me!"

Yun Wan was unconvinced, his eyes full of suspicion: "What evidence do you have to prove your innocence? The evidence now all points to you."

Concubine Lu was about to speak when she heard her say, "I forgot to tell you that the emperor was also there with me that day. If he knew it was you who ordered it, do you think you can still keep your position as a concubine?"

In other words, His Majesty also knew about the bracelet and Ayakashi's affairs, and he might have already figured out how to deal with the person behind it.

If I were really wronged and became a scapegoat...

Thinking of Emperor Jingxuan's methods, Concubine Lu couldn't help but shudder.

"What do you want?" Her attitude softened instantly.

Yun Wan: "If you want to prove your innocence, go find out who Ayaka's master is, otherwise..."

She paused and said quietly, "I'll put all this on your head."

"You! You are unreasonable!" Concubine Lu was so angry that she had a heart attack.

Yun Wan was determined to drag her into this and make her help her in vain.

Yun Wan smiled faintly: "Whether to investigate or not, you better think it over carefully."

Anyway, I'm not the one who should be anxious now.

Lu Fei said coldly: "Investigate! Just wait!"

She returned to Changchun Palace filled with rage and summoned her trusted maid: "Mobilize everyone to investigate Ayaka for me! I want to know who is behind her."

She wanted to see who dared to plot against her?

........

Yueya: "Master, it certainly doesn't look like Concubine Lu."

Yun Wan hummed, "No matter who it is, we are not the ones who should be anxious now."

"Let's wait and see."

Crescent Moon nodded.

After the soup was cooked in the afternoon, Yun Wansheng personally delivered it to the emperor.

The inside and outside of the Zichen Palace are still heavily guarded, and entry and exit require strict inspection, but no one stopped Yun Wan from coming.

When Yun Wan stepped into the hall alone, she saw that Emperor Jingxuan was not lying on the couch, but pacing back and forth in a thin robe.

Putting down the food box in her hand, she hurried over and said, "Your Majesty, why did you get up? Be careful not to open the wound again."

Letting her help him back to the bed, Emperor Jingxuan smiled and said, "Don't worry, Madam. I'm just taking a walk. It won't cause any trouble."

Yun Wan frowned and disagreed: "We can't be careless, what if the ground is slippery and we fall?"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Jingxuan chuckled and used his uninjured arm to pull her to sit next to him, his eyes teasing: "Madam, do you think I'm that kid Chang Sui?"

The child's bones have not fully grown, and his lower body is unstable. If he walks a little faster, he will tremble, as if he will fall to the ground at any moment.

Yun Wan, who was checking his wound, snorted, "If Your Majesty is not pleased, I will not nag you any more."

"No, I like it. I like it very much."

Emperor Jingxuan lowered his head and buried it in her shoulder, sighing, "My nagging wife makes me feel at ease, just like an ordinary old couple."

Especially after this injury, the lady cared about him very much, treated him tenderly, and took care of him personally without asking anyone else for help. She even cared less about Chang Sui than he did.

Emperor Jingxuan felt extremely fulfilled and satisfied, and even hoped that his injury would heal slowly.

Yun Wan glanced at him and said, "Your Majesty is old, but I am not."

She is only twenty-three, how can she be old?

The man, who was feeling very happy, froze. "Am I really that old in my wife's eyes?"

Yun Wan chuckled: "I was just joking."

"Your Majesty is not old, but his injuries have not healed yet, so he looks a little haggard."

Emperor Jingxuan looked carefully in the mirror and found that it was true.

Not only that, after lying down for a few days, his skin and flesh had become loose and not as strong as before!

These days, he has been immersed in his wife's personal care, but he appears in such a weak and miserable state. How is he different from a sickly person?

Emperor Jingxuan felt heavy in the chest and wished he could recover immediately.

"What kind of soup did Madam cook for me?"

Smelling the rich, fresh aroma in the air, he quickly spoke, trying to divert her attention.

Yun Wan: "Jellyfish chicken soup."

She opened the food box, poured the chicken soup into a small bowl, brought it over and fed it to him with a porcelain spoon: "This is my first time stewing this, Your Majesty, please try it. How does it taste?"

After drinking the chicken soup, Emperor Jingxuan praised it without hesitation: "Good! Excellent!"

"This is the best soup I've ever had!"

Yun Wan chuckled, "How can it be so exaggerated?"

But who doesn't like such a compliment? Her smile widened.

Seeing her so happy, Emperor Jingxuan said, "There is a letter from Madam on the desk."

Don't mind making her happier.

Yun Wan came to the desk and saw a letter.

She unfolded the letter and read a few lines, her eyes suddenly brightening: "My cousin has arrived in the capital!"

Continuing to read, her breath hitched: "My aunt is here too!"
