Is this an attempt to frame me and Yinzhen for having an unclear relationship?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ranli's brows moved slightly. It couldn't be such a coincidence. Concubine Yi had always lived in the deep palace for a long time. How could she just go out of the palace on this day and meet her and Yinzhen on the street? Moreover, Yinzhen has been very busy with affairs recently. If someone hadn't told him false news, he would not have had time to come out.
"Mother, I did meet the Fourth Prince by chance outside, and we met not long before you appeared. If you don't believe me, many people saw the Fourth Prince appear at that time. You can send someone to investigate," Jiang Ranli explained again.
Listening to her words, Concubine Yi narrowed her eyes slightly and asked Yinzhen, "Fourth Master, you have been very busy lately. How do you have the time to go to that street and bring so many guards with you?"
"I find it too boring to manage affairs, so I'm going out of the house to relax. As for the guards accompanying me, I'm a prince, so when I go out, I'm naturally accompanied by guards," Yinzhen said lightly.
He had already guessed that today's incident was a complete conspiracy, so he had already thought of a countermeasure.
"Relax?" Concubine Yi obviously didn't believe it.
Yinzhen said, "Relax, I think Concubine Yi has plenty of time today, and can go out of the palace for a stroll. The capital is really too small, I didn't expect that I could meet Concubine Yi."
In this passage, Yinzhen was hinting to Concubine Yi that her appearance was too coincidental and the whole thing was a conspiracy.
However, Concubine Yi didn't believe him at all, "Fourth Master, do you mean it's a coincidence?"
"That's right," Yinzhen said with a cold expression and nodded slightly.
Concubine Yi stopped looking at him and her gaze fell on Jiang Ranli again, "Since the Fourth Master said it was a coincidence, then it is a coincidence. The Fourth Master has official duties to attend to, so I will not keep him here."
Concubine Yi immediately ordered them to leave.
Upon hearing this, Yinzhen subconsciously looked at Jiang Ranli, and after a while he said, "Goodbye."
After Yinzhen left, Concubine Yi loudly scolded Jiang Ranli to kneel down.
"I don't know what I have done wrong to make you so angry."
When Concubine Yi asked Yinzhen to leave, Jiang Ranli knew what was waiting for her, but she was never one to sit and wait for death.
"Don't know? Are you pretending to be stupid? The Ninth Master and the Fourth Master are now at loggerheads. As the Ninth Master's concubine, you met with the Fourth Master without telling him. Where do you put the Ninth Master and my mother?" Naren stood up, pointing at Jiang Ranli and angrily scolded her righteously.
Jiang Ranli turned to look at her, "My meeting with the Fourth Prince was accidental, not behind the Ninth Prince's back. I have a clear conscience and have never brought shame to anyone."
"Have a clear conscience? Do you dare to say that you have a clear conscience? Do you really think that mother and I don't know about the relationship between you and the Fourth Master?" Naren pressed on step by step.
Hearing this, Jiang Ranli narrowed his eyes slightly, "Dare you ask what the relationship is between me and the Fourth Master? Think before you speak. Fabricating lies to slander the prince is a capital crime."
Jiang Ranli looked at Naren calmly with burning eyes.
"Mother, look at her. She is still being stubborn. Mother, you have to make the decision for Naren." Naren pretended to be frightened by Jiang Ranli and shrank to Concubine Yi's side.
Concubine Yi glared at Jiang Ranli, "Don't think that just because I've lived in the deep palace for a long time and never asked about what's going on in Yin'er's mansion, I don't know what you've done. Years ago, you sneaked out of the mansion every day to hang out with the Fourth Master. I heard that you were with the Fourth Master before you went to Jinan. After you returned to Beijing with Yin'er, you still had evil intentions and often met with the Fourth Master in private. Do you dare to deny it?"
"Mother, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I don't know where you heard these slanderous words from, so please be careful with your words."
Not only did Concubine Yi bring up the past, but she also made things look all over the place, which made Jiang Ranli unable to tolerate it.
