Chapter 91: Accountability to the Su Family
Hearing Yun Sheng's words, Cui Sheng cried out in surprise.
Chen Zhuxin's expression also changed, and he frowned, and ordered: "Cui Sheng, go and close the doors and windows."
Cuisheng responded and left, and Chen Zhuxin looked at Yunsheng.
The maid's words just now were concise and clear. She explained the whole story at once and did not speak incoherently out of fear. It can be seen that she is a calm and decisive person.
But who wants to poison Xu Nianya?
No, that’s not the point. The point is, what would happen if Xu Nian Ya died suddenly?
Everyone would naturally think that Xu Nianya couldn't handle the board.
And this is related to Jiang Yingli.
From the perspective of outsiders, she was the one who took the lead in beating her cousin to death. Even if she had ten thousand reasons, it would not sound good if they were told to others.
Xu Nianya died, but if Jiang Yingli was criticized because of this, the entire Jinxiu Palace would probably be dealt with.
She couldn't stay out of it.
No wonder this palace maid came to find her, she has such a clever mind.
Thinking of this, Chen Zhuxin looked at Yun Sheng with full vigilance.
"Who is threatening you?"
Yun Sheng shook her head. "They were very cautious and covered my head the entire time. I didn't even catch a glimpse of the corner of their clothes."
"That means you know nothing about this powder. How can I help you? Not to mention that I'm powerless and can't take action, I live next door to Xu Baolin. I'm so scared that I don't even have time to save you and your sister."
Yun Sheng seized the last opportunity and pleaded, "I know that I shouldn't involve you, my noble lady, in this matter, but I don't ask you to investigate anything for me. I only ask you to help me see Empress Chongyi!"
"I have already been to Zhaohua Palace in the evening, but Empress Chongyi is not there. Her maid said that she is accompanying the emperor in Changqing Palace. However, I am not qualified to go to Changqing Palace. Please help me, Empress!"
Chen Zhu was stunned for a moment, and the look he gave Yun Sheng became even more complicated.
This palace maid is indeed very thoughtful.
If you know this, the best antidote is to seek help from Empress Chongyi.
When it comes to Jiang Yingli, His Majesty will not ignore it.
As long as Your Majesty takes action, all problems can be solved.
"You're quite clever. It seems you've figured out that the person behind this could have kidnapped your sister as a threat. If you drug her as you said, not only will you fail to save your sister, but you'll also likely be killed together."
Yun Sheng nodded, then looked at Chen Zhuxin with hope.
"Did the nobleman agree?"
Although Chen Zhuxin wanted to avoid anything related to Jiang Yingli, this time was different, and she sighed.
"I'll take you to Changqing Palace, but I may not be able to see His Majesty. I'm just trying my best."
Yun Sheng kowtowed to Chen Zhuxin. "Thank you so much, my dear!"
At Changqing Palace, Xiao Chenglan brought Jiang Yingli back to the palace at dusk.
After seeing her uncle's evil deeds, Jiang Yingli decided to sever her family ties. Tomorrow morning, Xiao Chenglan would order people to seal up the place and bring the man to justice.
Jiang Yingli couldn't help feeling a little depressed, and she kept leaning on Xiao Chenglan's knees, watching him review the memorials.
She hid herself between Xiao Chenglan's two wide sleeves and felt very safe.
Xiao Chenglan would read the memorials for a while, then pat her head. His efficiency was much lower than usual, but he liked it this way.
Chen Zhuxin brought Yun Sheng to Changqing Palace smoothly, but was naturally stopped by the imperial guards.
"Eunuch Fu, please inform me first. I do have an urgent matter to discuss with His Majesty."
Fu Wanquan smiled politely, "My lord, everyone who comes here says they have urgent matters. However, His Majesty is so busy that he can't take care of so many people. If you have anything to say, please tell me and I will convey it to you."
Yun Sheng looked at Chen Zhuxin nervously.
Chen Zhuxin lowered his eyes and thought of a way.
"Eunuch Fu, there is an error in the account submitted to His Majesty today. You must explain it to His Majesty. If you delay, it may lead to bad consequences."
When Fu Wanquan heard it was about the accounts, he thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll pass on a message for you."
Fu Wanquan entered Changqing Palace and said, "Your Majesty, Concubine Shen is outside and wants to see you. She said there are some problems with today's accounts."
Xiao Chenglan raised his eyes and glanced outside the hall. He didn't say anything at first, and his expression was a little sharp.
Fu Wanquan thought for a moment and asked, "Then shall I send him away?"
"Let her in." Xiao Chenglan said coldly.
Fu Wanquan went out and brought Chen Zhuxin and Yun Sheng in.
As soon as Chen Zhuxin entered the hall, he caught a glimpse of a figure sitting upright in front of the imperial desk, but did not see Jiang Yingli.
She had just knelt down and hadn't saluted when she heard Xiao Chenglan ask:
"Everything you brought up has been carefully checked. If there were any mistakes, they would have been reported to me long ago. I want to hear what could have caused you, who are always cautious, to deceive the emperor."
Xiao Chenglan's voice was very calm, but it frightened Yun Sheng so much that he fell to the ground, and Chen Zhuxin felt a chill down his spine.
She took a deep breath and said, "Your Majesty, someone wants to poison Xu Baolin."
Jiang Yingli, who was drowsy lying in Xiao Chenglan's arms, was startled awake and sat up suddenly.
"What did you say?!"
This palace used to be peaceful, but recently there have been incidents of people falling into the water and being poisoned. Jiang Yingli was shocked.
Xiao Chenglan held her hand and whispered, "Don't be afraid."
Chen Zhuxin and Yun Sheng were both stunned when they saw Jiang Yingli popping out like a bamboo shoot.
It turned out that Empress Chongyi was not absent, but was lying in His Majesty's arms.
However, seeing Jiang Yingli there, Chen Zhuxin finally calmed down. With her around, His Majesty's temper would be much better.
Chen Zhuxin asked Yun Sheng to tell her the whole story.
"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, I would never dare to be ordered to do such a heinous thing that would bring disaster to the harem. Your Majesty, please help me, find out the real culprit, and save my sister!" Yun Sheng kowtowed continuously.
After hearing this, Xiao Chenglan understood why Yun Sheng insisted on coming to Changqing Palace.
Jiang Yingli, standing by, gritted her teeth and muttered softly, "Even if you poisoned her, it wouldn't be considered a crime against humanity. You were clearly doing it to eliminate harm for the people..."
Xiao Chenglan pinched her quietly and glanced at her. Jiang Yingli snorted and shut up.
Xiao Chenglan also snorted coldly and said slowly: "In this matter, we still need to find out who the real culprit is. There may be many people in this palace who want Xu Baolin dead, but there is only one person who wants to plot against Zhao Chongyi."
Chen Zhuxin was silent and closed his eyes.
This is indeed something that does not require deep thought. Even if the people who capture Yun Sheng are more cautious, it will be useless.
"Fu Wanquan, take people to Qixiang Palace to arrest him immediately."
Jiang Yingli added: "Remember to find Yun Sheng's sister."
Fu Wanquan responded, and Yun Sheng bowed to Jiang Yingli: "Thank you, Your Majesty! Thank you, Your Majesty!"
After a while, Su Qingrong was taken to Changqing Palace.
On the way here, she felt very uneasy, but Lan Xiang told her that as long as she denied it, there would be no solid evidence. If His Majesty punished her, her father would definitely seek justice for her.
"Su, you tell me yourself, I will save some face for you."
