"What did you say? The baby was lost? How is that possible?" Xiao Lin grabbed Liu Nian's clothes in disbelief. "That medicine is not meant to cause a miscarriage. It's just to make her suffer for a few more days and cause her to bleed."
Liu Nian's forehead was covered in sweat from nervousness. She really didn't know how to describe the person she was serving. Now that she thought about it, the medicine in Concubine Lin's hand might have been given by the Lin family. She hadn't told anyone. When she went to Jing'an Garden that afternoon, she said that the princess was too noisy and didn't let the servants in, so she had no choice but to wait outside.
I only saw Concubine Lin coming out with a smug look on her face, and she said as she walked, "Just wait and see, I'll have to torment the princess a few times before I can succeed."
But how did she do it? It turned out that Concubine Lin really drugged the princess.
"Are you sure? You didn't give the princess the medicine to make her have a miscarriage?" Liunian was so anxious that he almost cried.
Xiao Lin was at a loss and said, "Of course, how could I be so cruel, it's just, it's just..."
"You just what?"
"I just don't want her to think about me about Cheng Qian's affairs."
"Concubine, you are confused. The matter of Cheng Dianyi is over. Neither the prince nor the princess has ever asked you a single question. Why are you taking the blame on yourself? Who gave you this idea?"
Liu Nian stamped his feet anxiously. He had returned home today, and Mother Lu was resting normally. Without the two people who kept an eye on Lin, she made such a big mistake.
Xiao Lin looked at Liu Nian's expression and knew that the matter was very serious, but she didn't want to lose face. "What are you afraid of? Even if they find out that I was the one who gave her the medicine, I can show her the rest. It wasn't meant to cause a miscarriage."
"Concubine, don't you know the principle of drug incompatibility?"
Seeing Xiao Lin's puzzled expression, Liu Nian said, "Perhaps the Princess's pregnancy-maintaining medicine reacted with the medicine you gave her, causing her miscarriage. Also, even if it turns out that's not the case, do you think the Princess wouldn't suspect you and blame you for it? You were the only one who went to Jing'an Garden the entire afternoon, and that was while the Princess was taking her medicine. Or was it because Yuan Dong was out, and you were the one who waited for the Princess to take her medicine?"
Xiao Lin was stunned. "What should I do?" She took Liu Nian's hand and said, "It's all Wu's fault. She's been pestering me with all sorts of nonsense these past few days, and it's made me lose my mind. It's all her fault. It must be her. She did it on purpose."
Liu Nian shook his head. "It's useless. You can't blame Concubine Wu. She's been chatting with you for a long time. She's been close to you since the New Year. Besides, she can completely deny what you said in your chat. Even if she did, she didn't ask you to drug the princess."
Xiao Lin sat down with sweat on her forehead, "Liunian, what should I do? What should I do now?"
Before Liu Nian could think of anything, he heard footsteps outside. A moment later, Zhang Decheng stood at the door with a gloomy face. "Your Highness, please ask your concubine to go to Jing'an Garden."
Xiao Lin stood up and shook her head, "Why are you asking me to go? I, I won't go, I won't go."
Zhang Decheng shook his head, and two young eunuchs came into the room, "Please don't embarrass us, Concubine. The prince is waiting for you."
Xiao Lin went to hold Liu Nian's hand, "Liunian, Liu Nian, I...you go find Cheng..."
Liu Nian quickly stepped forward to cover Xiao Lin's mouth and whispered in her ear, "I will go find the eldest young master. You must answer the prince truthfully and don't make him angry."
When Xiao Lin heard Liu Nian say that he was going to find Song Baimo, her eyes lit up. Yes, how could she forget this imperial sword.
With the words "Liunian", Xiao Lin suddenly stopped panicking and followed Zhang Decheng to Jing'an Garden.
When they arrived at Jing'an Garden, Xiao Lin looked at Song Chengze's ashen face and knelt down with her legs softened. "Your Highness, I didn't do this. I've been by your side for so many years, and you know my character best. I would never do such a thing."
Meng Qi was lying on the kang. Hearing this, she stood up and pointed at Xiao Lin. "How dare you say it wasn't you? You were the one who brought me the medicine. I started feeling unwell after drinking it. If it wasn't you, then who else could it be?"
Xiao Lin looked up at Song Chengze and said, "Your Highness, the medicine was boiled in the small kitchen of Jing'an Garden. I only brought it to the princess. Who knows if someone in the small kitchen did anything?"
Then she looked at Meng Qi again, "Princess, how unreasonable! You're trying to find someone else's fault just because you lost the baby. You went to Prince Shen's mansion today. Who knows if you ate or drank something that conflicted with the abortion-preserving medicine? You also said you accidentally twisted your ankle today. Could it be that this is my fault?"
Meng Qi smiled coldly, "You are quite sharp-tongued, Wang Chenghai."
Wang Chenghai came in with his back bent, "Go to Huamuyuan and search it for me." Meng Qi said.
When Xiaolin heard this, she panicked and wanted to stop it, but then she thought, just check it out, there is no medicine to cause an abortion anyway.
Here, Xiao Lin recalled with tears in her eyes everything that had happened since she entered the palace, how she managed the inner house, and how she raised the eldest young master.
"Your Highness, even if you don't trust me, you must trust the Young Master. If the Young Master knew that you doubted me like this, how disheartened he would be."
Song Chengze said coldly, "You don't have to bring up Brother Mo. I know Brother Mo's mother's surname is Lin. Don't worry, if they don't find anything, they won't wrongly accuse you."
After hearing this, Meng Qi turned over. Song Chengze turned his head to look at her, but only saw the back of Meng Qi's head exposed outside the skirt.
"Your Highness, please take Concubine Lin to the outer room for questioning." Meng Qi said coldly.
Song Chengze didn't know what Meng Qi was thinking. Meng Qi's decision to have a miscarriage was the result of their discussion. Song Chengze guessed that Meng Qi would not miss this opportunity, but he didn't know that she would point the finger at Xiao Lin.
