In the past, Meng Qi had mentioned Xiao Lin several times, hinting at something she had done in the inner chambers. However, as Meng Qi uncovered one traitor after another, he seemed to have forgotten that Meng Qi had even suspected Xiao Lin.
In fact, in Song Chengze's opinion, the person least likely to plot against Prince Rui's Mansion is Xiao Lin. She is a woman who has the idea of competing for favors branded on her forehead. Although she cannot be said to be extremely stupid, she is not a smart person either. She cannot come up with such an idea or do such a thing.
She could think of it herself, and the smart Meng Qi naturally knew it too, but why did she still put the "fault" on Xiao Lin?
It was just that the two of them had discussed this matter. Song Chengze couldn't ask any more questions now. He could only cooperate with Meng Qi. No matter what Meng Qi's starting point was, he believed that she was doing it for the palace and for him. As for the final answer, he believed that Meng Qi would give it to him.
After a while, Wang Chenghai came back, followed by a little girl from Hua Muyuan.
Looking at the box on the ground, Xiao Lin's face changed slightly, because the box not only contained the medicine given to Meng Qi today, but also the aphrodisiac she prepared and the medicine for Song Baimo that she asked Liunian to send to Baochun several times.
Looking at Xiaolin's expression, Song Chengze said to Zhang Decheng, "Take it out and let the doctor take a look."
"What's wrong with this little girl?" Song Chengze asked.
Wang Chenghai stepped forward and bowed, "Your Highness, when I was at Huamu Garden, this little girl came looking for me, saying she had something important to report to Your Highness."
When Xiao Lin heard this, she raised her eyebrows and looked at the little girl sweeping the yard, feeling very puzzled.
"Tell me, what do you want to report to the king?"
The little girl took two steps forward and saluted, saying, "A few days ago, I saw Cheng Dianyi talking to Concubine Lin alone. They seemed very close. And yesterday, someone around Cheng Dianyi gave Concubine Lin a purse. It was the purse that Jiuhong had put in the box that Eunuch Zhang just took out."
Xiao Lin's face turned pale and she raised her head suddenly. "You are talking nonsense. Who are you? Why do you want to harm me?"
The little girl shuddered, "Concubine, I didn't lie. You and Cheng Dianyi meet often. Last year, when the young master moved to the outer courtyard, you two often stayed in the young master's courtyard for a long time. Also, at the young master's housewarming party, I watched and watched..."
Song Chengze looked at the panicked expression on Xiao Lin's face when the little girl mentioned Cheng Qianshi, and suddenly had a premonition. He asked coldly, "What did you see?"
The little girl fell to her knees and said, "Please, my lord, save my life."
Song Chengze stood up and said, "If what you said is true, I will not do anything to you."
The little girl kowtowed and said, "Yes, I saw Cheng Dianyi holding Concubine Lin's hand. Concubine Lin even reached out to touch Cheng Dianyi's face. She said that it was convenient now. Since the eldest young master went to the outer courtyard, she had a reason to come more often."
Xiao Lin felt her head explode with a bang. She stood up like a madwoman and tried to pull the little girl away. "You are talking nonsense, little maid! Who sent you to frame me? Tell me, tell me."
Song Chengze winked at Wang Chenghai, and Wang Chenghai stepped forward and grabbed Xiao Lin.
"Your Highness, why don't you call Cheng Dianyi in? Today's matter is not simple." Meng Qi said loudly in the inner room.
Song Chengze stared at the screen for a while with a complicated expression. Song Chengze suddenly understood why Meng Qi chose Xiao Lin. Now thinking about it, could it be that Meng Qi had known that Xiao Lin had an affair with Cheng Qian, but it was inconvenient or she did not want to tell him directly, so she used this method?
Song Chengze stood up and said, "No need, you should rest well." Then he said loudly, "Wang Chenghai, take everyone to the outer courtyard. Now go find Chu Yong and ask him to bring Cheng Qian back to me."
