Chapter 225 Treating the Murderer as Family



【Afterwards, the Queen selected some to enter the palace.】

[The Queen is truly virtuous. What are you doing now? There are so many people here. Are they here to pay their respects?]

[There should be several, but they are not high-ranking. The emperor only favors two of them, and one of them could be fatal to the emperor.]

[Hehe, you deserve it. Tell me, who was it that wanted to kill Lao Deng?]

Xiangxiang was about to speak when Concubine Wan came in with a group of beauties.

[Hiss~ The ones sitting down below are buds waiting to bloom, and the ones walking in now are in full bloom. They are so beautiful. For a moment, I want to be the emperor and sleep with them all~]

[Host, you're so horny~]

[Shut up! Don’t you think these people are really beautiful?] Ji Yingying really likes beautiful things. She thinks beauty is pleasing to the eyes and can’t be looked away.

It is a direct manifestation of visual pleasure, a deep satisfaction of psychological needs, and a dialectic between transience and eternity.

[She is indeed very beautiful. In modern times, she would be a big star, or even a leading lady.]

[That’s right!]

[Okay, who poisoned the emperor?] Ji Yingying still wanted to know who was so blind as to poison the emperor? Or did the emperor kill the whole family?

[That guy over there, surnamed Lan, isn't a good person!]

How should I put it?

[Are you familiar with storylines where someone's family is killed by their enemy, they are raised by that enemy, and then indoctrinated by the enemy into believing that the person who saved their family is the murderer?]

[Oh wow~ So that's how it is?] Ji Yingying found it quite interesting!

[That Lan~] Ji Yingying didn't know what her status was: [Was her family murdered?]

Yes, her entire family was killed by her current adoptive father. She was only a few days old when her adoptive father took her in and then constantly instilled in her the belief that her family was killed by the emperor.

[He also said that he saved her when he was passing by. If he hadn't saved her, she would probably have been killed by the Dog Emperor.]

[Hiss~ This guy is pretty ruthless, he's really good at it! ]

【What can I do? 】

【PUA! 】

【That's true. Let me continue. She believed it too, so she practiced martial arts every day, and then used some tricks to get into the palace at the last spring banquet.】

[She was favored by the Emperor as soon as she entered the palace. Although she was favored, it was actually because she drugged the Emperor that she became favored. Then she began to poison the Emperor.]

【No wonder.】

[This network of relationships is not clear, I want to know what the emperor's position is in it? ]

[What else could it be? Her family used to be high-ranking officials, but they were murdered overnight, their entire family wiped out. Even then, the Emperor ordered the Dali Temple to investigate their case and clear their name, but they couldn't find the culprit. Then, your detective brother took action and tracked down her adoptive father.]

She wasn't there then; her adoptive father was arrested and is still in jail awaiting execution.

[Wasn't he killed directly? Was the evidence insufficient?]

[There is sufficient evidence, but there is no motive.]

What does it mean to have sufficient evidence but no motive? What is this?

All the evidence points to him, and he himself admitted that he killed her family, but he wouldn't say why.

【I see!】

【Then do you know? 】

[We don't know yet, all we know is that our Lady Lan has met with her adoptive father, and she wants to save people and kill the Emperor to avenge herself.]

[It's a pity that she took revenge on the wrong person. The person who really harmed her family was her adoptive father. And now, she has also been poisoned by the insect.]

"Isn't that similar to that poison person?" Ji Yingying thought of that poison person, wondering how he was doing now.

[That's far from the truth. The poison in her body is used to control her. After all, her adoptive father is not a good person.]

[Okay, the emperor's wife, Lao Deng, was innocently harmed. Poor thing! We tried to give her family justice, but she turned against us. Tsk tsk! Anyway, since she's also been brainwashed, I won't complain.]

[Hmm, blind eyes and blind heart...]

[Alright, let the Emperor handle this himself. After all, she is his concubine.]

The concubines enjoyed another melon, and everyone left satisfied.

A group of people left, and the remaining group remained. Ji Yingying was eating pastries and was not in a hurry to leave, so she just ate another melon.

Let's continue eating the melon with our eyes blinded and our hearts blinded!

【You tell me, tell me quickly.】

[That's a member of the family of the concubine in blue; it must be her older brother. He married a woman he doesn't love, but loves a scumbag.]

How do you say it?

【Implying the life-saving grace.】

If you say so, then I understand.

What do you know?

[It's about how her older brother was saved by a girl when he was a child. He left her a keepsake, and as an adult, he uses those keepsakes to recognize people, not the one who saved his life.]

[The girl he married turned out to be the one who saved him, and then... whatever their relationship was, he got to know her well enough to get the token, and then used her older brother to get revenge on her.]

[Hiss~ This is like saving an ungrateful person. Girls, listen up! Don't pick wildflowers by the roadside. No, don't pick weeds by the roadside, and don't save men by the roadside. This is horrible. Tell me how girls are being abused.]

[You're overthinking it. Would they really mistreat that girl? She only married her older brother so she could either establish a female household or become a widow.]

So, does that mean she didn't love that man at all?

[I didn't love her. Barring any unforeseen circumstances, we've already divorced. She's registered her own household, and we have a child.]

Whose child is it?

[She found a man after the divorce and had the child. She wanted to get rid of the father and keep the son.]

[Well done! If you meet a scumbag like this, I support you living like this. If he were a good man, I would support you living a good life. Who is her family? I'll go wash his eyes and make him regret it.]

[You'd better leave. What if you keep pestering Xiaomei? ]

[That's right, this kind of man is too confident. No, too credulous. It's better not to cause trouble.]

[Yes, yes, yes…]

The girl in blue clothes had already planned to tell her elder brother about this matter. Her sister-in-law was a very nice person and she thought it was quite fun to chase his wife to the crematorium.

Besides, her sister-in-law is not that easy to pursue.

"Your Majesty, I have to go back. I am very tired from work. I want to go back and have some fun."

"Go ahead."

As soon as the person left, the Empress immediately asked, "Did you write it down?"

"My Lady, this has been recorded."

"Well, send it to the imperial study. Lan promised you to go with him."

Lan Ying's eyes were already red. She hadn't expected this! She didn't know Ji Yingying's true feelings at first, but she had found out yesterday.

Now all I want is to kill that man with my own hands. He deceived her for years and even made her poison the emperor.
