Chapter 318 Wei Yanwan 58
On the other side, Concubine Yu, who was unaware that her secrets had been dug up, was still lying on the bed, refusing to rest for a moment, still thinking in her mind about who had harmed her and her sister before.
Seeing this, Ruyi repeatedly comforted her: "Hai Lan, the most urgent thing is to cure your illness, don't worry about other things."
"No, sister, that person is so cruel. She crippled me with one move and almost caused you harm. If we don't catch her, what if she attacks the Fourteenth Prince again? Yongji is still young and weak. How can he withstand the harem's schemes?"
Hailan's words made sense, and Ruyi was also troubled. But no matter how much she thought about it, she had no clue. After all, this matter was closely related to Jiapin, the Imperial Concubine, and the Concubine Chu. Others who did not participate could not be said to be clean.
She couldn't just punish everyone based on suspicion, right?
"Sister, do you believe me?"
"Of course I believe you."
With Ruyi's words, Hailan was like a chicken with blood injected into her body, and her eyes burst into an astonishing light: "If you believe me, then you might as well send someone to investigate the imperial concubine."
"Yan Wan? Why would you suspect her? She has no grudge against us and she even helped me."
Ruyi had never expected to hear this name from Hailan, and immediately frowned: "Did you know something?"
At this point, Hai Lan no longer concealed the truth from her: "Sister, you don't know, but when you were imprisoned in the cold palace, I took advantage of her pregnancy and put cinnabar in her food."
"What?! How could you do such a thing? How could you hurt an innocent person? She was pregnant at the time. If something really happened, wouldn't you make me bear the consequences of two innocent lives without knowing anything?"
"Sister, I had no other choice. Back then, the Fucha clan and the others had already made repeated attempts on you. Although I tried every trick in the book, my appearance was limited, and I was unable to conceive to prove your innocence. At that time, only Wei Yanwan was favored and pregnant."
Hai Lan saw Ruyi looking at her with disbelief, and even let go of her hand. She became even more anxious: "Don't worry, sister. I think the amount Jiang Yubin asked for was strictly controlled at that time. He would never hurt her or her child..."
"That's not a reason for you to harm others. Everyone's physique is different. How do you know she won't get hurt? What if something happens? What if something happens? How is your behavior any different from theirs?"
"I know you're kindhearted, but I'm afraid you'll never forgive me for saying this today. But I'm in this state now, and I'm afraid I won't be able to help you anymore. So even if you hate me and want to break off all ties with me, I'm going to finish what I'm saying."
Hai Lan didn't dare to look at Ruyi's eyes at that moment. She turned away silently and finished her suspicions about Wei Yanwan: "I put cinnabar in her food, but after a full five months, she didn't react at all."
"Sister, think about it carefully. Is her reaction normal?"
"If she was poisoned by cinnabar, how could she have kept it secret? If she wasn't poisoned, then it means she discovered her food was poisonous. Why didn't she report it to the emperor?"
The more Hai Lan spoke, the more frightened she became. Only then did she realize that Wei Yanwan, the imperial concubine who had always been ignored because of her family background and even more despised because of her favor, was even more unpredictable than the emperor.
"Later, she gave birth to the Fifth Prince safely. This means she must have known or discovered that someone had put poisonous cinnabar in her food, but she always kept it a secret and has never revealed a single word until now."
Hai Lan finally mustered up the courage to look at Ruyi. "Sister, do you think someone could tolerate someone harming themselves and their child, and even cover up for that person?"
Ruyi moved her lips, but in the end, she could not say anything. She just tucked the corner of the quilt for her silently: "Don't think about it. You should rest well. I will come to see you another day."
"Sister, how can I allow someone to snore beside my bed? Furthermore, this person is a silent, poisonous snake! You, you are the queen. Many people are eyeing your position and want to harm you, but they are all visible hands. Don't... don't be afraid."
A burst of power suddenly erupted from Hailan's body, and she actually held Ruyi's hand tightly. She looked at Ruyi with an almost ferocious look, and the fire dancing in her eyes made Ruyi subconsciously want to avoid it:
"But Wei Yanwan, Wei Yanwan... She's a poisonous snake in the dark. If we don't get rid of her, sooner or later she'll harm you, sister—!"
Ruyi didn't want to listen anymore. She suddenly broke free from Hailan's hands, covered her ears with them, and ran out. But Hailan's words were like a leech attached to her bones, engraved in her heart.
…
"You said the Queen is ill?"
Wei Yanwan glanced at Chunchan, her tone a little surprised: "Being pregnant and going through so much trouble only weakened the child, so why is she sick now that she's given birth?"
"I heard that he wasn't feeling well after returning from the Yanxi Palace yesterday. He developed a high fever that night and even started talking nonsense."
Chunchan sat on the footrest and applied henna to Yanwan's manicured nails. Even as she spoke, her hands were steady, quick, and precise, not touching a single inch of flesh. "The Emperor had originally planned to take the Empress with him on the Mulan Autumn Hunt in August. I wonder if the Empress will be well by then."
"She hasn't been able to settle down since she became pregnant. I wonder what provocative words Concubine Yu said to frighten her into falling ill. But it's still early. If she takes good care of herself, she should be fine."
Although Wei Yanwan said she didn't know, she knew in her heart that Concubine Yu always put the Queen first in everything. Now that she was dying, she had to say what she had to say, so that her good sister would not be caught off guard in case something happened to her.
What a pity.
Wei Yanwan thought indifferently that she didn't really care about Ruyi, the heroine, and had no intention of targeting her. But after all, she had a good sister.
She had been tortured in the cold palace before, but fortunately Fu Cha Langya died on her own.
But this Sister Hailan has offended me again. This really shows that I love you so much that I want to kill you.
Wei Yanwan looked at her hands that were wrapped like dumplings and smiled softly:
Wei Yanwan had no mercy on her enemies. She would tear out the hearts of those who dared to raise their claws towards her. She would make them remember that even after death, hell, and reincarnation, they should never mess with those they shouldn't mess with.
"Alright, we can find a date to meet with Concubine Yu and that'll be it. Now it's time to move Concubine Jia. After all, we know each other. Don't let Concubine Yu go on the road alone."
"Master, rest assured. Our men are ready for the Mulan Autumn Hunt. Don't you know, the Zhangjia clan is indeed a powerful family, and they are quite concerned about our affairs. Once you give the order, they will investigate thoroughly. Now we are just waiting to catch them in the trap."
"Oh, I'm not asking them to fabricate something to frame someone. If they couldn't seize the credit that's already there, I would have fought them off long ago."
Wei Yanwan said, but she still reminded them: "Remember to tell them to keep a low profile and bring in a few more people, especially Master Fu Heng from the Fucha family, so as not to arouse the emperor's suspicion."
"Yes, I understand."
