Nanny Li was so frightened by the Liao King's rage that her face turned pale and her lips trembled, not knowing how to speak.
At this moment, Crown Prince Wanyan Lingyuan came in with his men. The Liao King's already gloomy expression turned gentle when he saw Wanyan Lingyuan.
The crown prince looked somewhat like the late queen. Whenever the Liao king saw the crown prince, he would think of the late queen. He said in a gentle voice, "Yuan'er, it's so cold. You must be in poor health. Why are you here?"
Wanyan Lingyuan respectfully saluted and greeted the King of Liao, and then said, "Today is the wedding day of the third uncle's cousin, and I am here to congratulate you!"
Then, as if she had seen Nanny Li by accident, she asked, "Father, isn't this Nanny Li who is beside our mother? What happened?"
When Nanny Li heard the prince's voice, she also looked towards him, but saw Li Xiang'er behind him. Her pupils suddenly shrank, and then she quickly lowered her head.
When the King of Liao heard the Crown Prince mention Madam Li, he became very angry again. He asked Wanyan Lingyuan to sit down and began to interrogate Madam Li.
"You bold and cunning slave, why don't you tell the truth?"
Nanny Li knew that whatever she said at this moment would be wrong. For the sake of her niece, she could only accept the responsibility of the incident herself.
Just when he was about to speak, a cough sounded, "Cough cough..." Wanyan Lingyuan started coughing violently, his face was pale, and he looked very weak.
The King of Liao was in no mood to interrogate Nanny Li at this time, and immediately asked the imperial physician to take the prince's pulse. The Imperial Hospital was just thanking the imperial physician for rushing to take the prince's pulse.
But his eyebrows were furrowed, and the Liao king was anxious. "How is it?"
Doctor Xie withdrew his hand and bowed to report to the King of Liao, "Your Majesty, the Crown Prince has a cold body and is weak inside. He needs to be taken good care of. It's so cold, it's best to stay in a warm room and try not to go out as much as possible."
"I will prescribe some medicine for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Take it for a few days to relieve your cough."
The King of Liao waved his hand to signal him to go down quickly to get the medicine.
Wanyan Lingyuan spoke to comfort the Liao Dynasty, "Father, don't worry. I am fine."
Wanyan Chuyao deeply admired her cousin, the prince, for he was such an excellent actor.
How many people in this huge palace are sincere?
Everyone plays a different role, hiding their true self in their heart...
The Liao King had no intention of interrogating Li Ma at this time, so he opened his mouth and ordered,
"Someone, put Madam Li in jail and wait for interrogation!"
The queen frowned almost imperceptibly, but her expression remained the same.
The Liao king looked at Dasu again, thought for a moment and said, "Princess Dasu and I are in love, a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful woman, let's choose a good marriage."
Dasu was overjoyed and immediately kowtowed to the King of Liao to express his gratitude.
Wanyan Chuyao especially wanted to see Wanyan Liyue's expression at this moment. If she knew that she and Dasu were granted marriage, would she be so angry that she would wake up on the spot?
Dasu was tall and strong, but his face was far from being pretty.
The banquet hall ended early because of the prince. The Liao king told his servants to send the prince back to the East Palace in good condition, and also told his servants to make the dragon in the East Palace warmer.
After they returned to the palace, Wanyan Jing chatted with Wanyan Chuyao and Gu Qingchen for a while, and then they packed up and went back to their own courtyards to rest.
In the middle of the night, Wanyan Chuyao dressed in black and Gu Qingchen appeared in the prison.
They won't do anything tonight, they just need to stand by and watch.
The look the Queen gave Nanny Li was not as simple as it seemed. Wanyan Chuyao had a feeling that there might be something fishy going on.
Sure enough, a nimble man in black appeared in the cell soon and walked towards the prisoner imprisoned by Li Ma Ma. However, he smelled a strange smell the next moment, and then he lost consciousness...
When Wanyan Chuyao, Gu Qingchen and Li Ma were about to leave the prison with the black-clad man, Zhang Yu also appeared in the prison in black. When they met, they looked at each other in bewilderment...
In the East Palace, Wanyan Lingyuan looked at everyone with interest, "My cousin is really smart, just like the Third Uncle!"
Wanyan Chuyao smiled slightly, "Royal brother, I am just afraid that the queen will blame me because of Wanyan Liyue's matter."
Wanyan Lingyuan smiled but said nothing. He looked at Li Ma who was kneeling on the bed and said, "Tell me, why did you plot against the Regent?"
Nanny Li was still a little stunned, but facing the Crown Prince, she was still unwilling to speak.
Wanyan Lingyuan signaled Zhang 괗 to bring Li Xianger up!
After a while, Li Xiang'er followed Zhang Yu out. Seeing Nanny Li kneeling on the bed, she couldn't hide her excitement. She wanted to speak, but was stopped by Nanny Li's eyes.
Wanyan Lingyuan was leaning back in the armchair at this time, casually turning the jade ring on his thumb, "Madam, do you know Li Xiang'er?"
Nanny Li remained silent, but Wanyan Lingyuan did not get angry and continued, "Your niece is also Nanny's only relative in this world!"
Nanny Li's pupils dilated unconsciously, her face full of surprise. The prince actually knew that?
"Of course I know!" Wanyan Lingyuan said, as if she could see through Li Ma's thoughts, "Do you think the queen has found a good home for your niece?"
"Yes, if a slave becomes my maid and can give birth to a son or daughter, she may even be given the title of Crown Prince's Consort."
"Yes, you don't know that your niece won't live long!"
Sure enough, when Nanny Li heard this, she asked anxiously, "What does the prince mean?"
"She was poisoned by the Queen!"
"What?" Nanny Li was shocked and sat down on the bed dejectedly.
"The master you have always served loyally sent people to kill you tonight!" After saying that, Wanyan Lingyuan signaled Zhang 괗 to drag the man in black up.
Because the man in black was still asleep, he was dragged up by Zhang 괗.
When Zhang Yu took off the black cloth covering the man's face, Li Ma's eyes flashed with shock, "Why is it him?"
Wanyan Lingyuan smiled slightly, "Mammy, aren't you going to tell me yet?"
Li Xiang'er looked at Nanny Li with a complicated expression. This was her aunt, and the one who had always protected her.
But when Li Xiang'er thought of what the Queen had done to her, her eyes were filled with hatred.
"Aunt, Xiang'er is being used by the Queen. She poisoned Xiang'er and wanted to murder His Royal Highness the Crown Prince!"
"We, my aunt and my nephew, have all been used by her. Even if she achieves great things, she will kill us!"
Nanny Li looked dejected and spoke in a low voice.
"This matter started more than ten years ago. That year, Your Majesty was still the eldest prince, and the late queen was still the eldest prince's consort. The eldest prince's consort was pregnant with you, Your Highness. Your Majesty felt sorry for the late queen, so he sent someone to bring the current queen to the palace to accompany the late queen."
Wanyan Chuyao instinctively felt that maybe the death of the late queen in childbirth was related to the queen?
"Because the queen is the sister of the late queen, your majesty and the late queen both trust her very much, but she is thinking about how to kill her own sister!"
