What?
The cat even pounced on the Queen. No wonder the Emperor is interrogating her now. She is finished now.
But survival is a human instinct, Xu Yinger immediately cried out loudly:
"Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me! I, your humble servant, really did not intend to harm the Empress. That cat was originally trained to deal with Yu Wan'er. I did not intend to harm the Empress!"
Mo Qiyuan listened to her talk for a long time without her explaining how she tamed the cat. He felt a little annoyed and said in a bad tone:
"Just tell me how the cat was tamed, and stop talking nonsense!"
Xu Ying'er was stunned when she heard this, and immediately told him how she tamed the cat.
When Mo Qiyuan heard this, his face instantly turned dark.
Put something that can drive the cat crazy on the phoenix pattern every day to tease it, so that it will develop a habit and will not be able to help but pounce on it when it sees anything with a phoenix pattern.
The phoenix-shaped crown was worn by Yu Wan'er on her wedding day, so the cat pounced on her face.
Yun'er is the queen, and the outer clothes she wears are embroidered with lifelike phoenix patterns. No wonder the cat keeps trying to pounce on her. It is obvious that someone is taking advantage of Xu Ying'er's jealousy towards Yu Wan'er to target Yun'er.
If the cat had pounced on her today or had frightened her, Yun'er would have had a miscarriage. She was about to give birth and had to stay at the Lu family to give birth. Even if she did not give birth at the Lu family, the delay on the way back to the palace might have caused her to have a difficult delivery.
Since Yun'er's delivery time is short, it is more likely that she will stay at the Lu family to give birth. The person behind the scenes is well aware of this, so he has already arranged for a midwife.
As long as no midwife can be found in the city, the Lu family will definitely send people to inquire everywhere, and then the people that the Wang family has prepared in the mansion will have to be used even if they don’t want to.
Then, while she was giving birth, he arranged for Yang, disguised as a midwife, to attack her. Since he himself could not stay in the delivery room, he had to stay outside. If something really happened to Yun'er, even if Lin Qingtang and the others were by her side.
Those midwives would also try every means to make Yun'er's delivery difficult. If something happened to her, he would not link the cat and the midwife together. After all, the cat attacked more than just her, and the midwife was also begged from someone else's house.
The mastermind behind the scenes could have easily killed Yun'er and the child. Fortunately, Yun'er recognized Yang at the critical moment, and the human skin mask on her face showed that there must be someone helping her behind the scenes.
Mo Qiyuan's eyes were deep, and he had a general idea in his mind.
The only person who knew Yun'er was about to give birth and was certain she would attend Yu Wan'er's wedding banquet was...
People in the palace.
Although the guests attending the Lu family's wedding knew more or less that Yun'er might be in attendance, only people in the palace knew that she would give birth very soon.
When the royal heir is born, the news usually has to be released from the palace before people outside the palace know about it. It is impossible to reveal the details such as the time of birth and how long it took.
Therefore, the only people who knew that she gave birth to Lin very quickly were those in the palace.
Are they the concubines who have been dismissed from the palace, or those who remain in the palace now?
He was pondering this question when his eyes flashed and he caught a glimpse of the girl kneeling on the ground with a deathly pale face.
Suddenly his expression became stern. "Did you come up with that method yourself, or did someone teach you?"
Although this girl doesn't look like a good person, based on her reaction just now, it can be seen that she is not a meticulous person. The method of taming cats might have been taught to her by someone else.
Xu Ying'er's eyes flickered when she heard this, and she hesitated and refused to say anything.
Lu Zhengyan watched from the side and said:
"Are you still trying to hide it for him? Did you know that when I sent someone to stop you halfway, there was already a killer lurking outside your carriage?"
"What! The killer, she, they, actually want to kill me!"
"What else? Are we still waiting for you to reveal them?"
Xu Ying'er no longer concealed it and quickly said:
"Your Majesty, I'm telling you, that method was taught to me by my second cousin. Otherwise, how would I know how to tame a cat?"
Second cousin?
Mo Qiyuan examined her and asked, "Who is your second cousin?"
Xu Yinger answered honestly:
"Your Majesty, this is Xu Jiaolan, the granddaughter of the old Grand Tutor Xu in the court, and the second oldest among her sisters."
moment
Everything in Mo Qiyuan's mind connected, and he knew who was the mastermind behind this.
The Xu family, Concubine Jing’s family!
Concubine Jing is the eldest daughter of the Xu family and the eldest granddaughter of the old Grand Tutor Xu. Because the old Grand Tutor Xu loved this eldest granddaughter very much, he came to the emperor many times and begged him to take her into the harem and give her a chance to accompany him.
He saw that Grand Tutor Xu, as a veteran of three dynasties, had not only devoted himself to the Great Qi but also held great influence in the court. He had just ascended the throne and needed support, so he agreed.
In the following years, he gradually took back the power in the court into his own hands, and finally he no longer feared these old ministers. And because Concubine Jing had always been law-abiding in the harem, he did not get rid of these people after he gained power.
Unexpectedly, Concubine Jing, who had always acted indifferent and never competed for favor in the harem, turned out to be such a vicious person. These things that happened today must have been planned by her and the Xu family.
This makes sense. Minister Wang is Madam Xu's nephew, and Concubine Jing knows that Yun'er is about to give birth. Xu Ying'er is related to the Xu family. All these facts are enough to show that Concubine Jing is definitely involved in this matter.
"Yin Yi, you must return to the palace immediately to apprehend Concubine Jing, and have Lin Qingfeng lead his troops to surround the Xu family. No one is allowed to escape. Do you understand?"
"Yes! Your Majesty!"
Yin Yi appeared from the dark, and he hurried back from the palace with several midwives. He had just heard that the empress had given birth to a prince and a princess. Before he could even catch his breath, he heard such an order from the emperor.
It seemed that something had happened while he was away, but he always just followed orders. He would do whatever the emperor told him to do without asking any questions.
After hearing Xu Ying'er say that it was Xu Jiaolan who taught her the method of taming cats, Lu Zhengyan instantly understood that this was Concubine Jing's attack on the Empress, wanting her to die in the delivery bed.
Lu Zhengyan looked up at the emperor with a sullen face and shook his head in his heart at the Xu family.
If it weren't for the help of the Xu family, Concubine Jing, an unfavored concubine in the deep palace, would not have been able to reach so far even if she held the high position of concubine. The Xu family is really confused.
Did she think that by helping her granddaughter kill the Queen, she would get what she wanted?
He had also heard that Old Grand Tutor Xu, because he loved his eldest granddaughter, specifically requested the emperor to take her into the harem, so he also knew that Concubine Jing was in love with the emperor.
But the emperor doesn't love her, and she can't get into his heart even if she doesn't love the queen. She does this simply because she is jealous that the queen can get the emperor's true love, and she wants to murder her.
And the Xu family really gave it their all for their granddaughter.
Mo Qiyuan now understood the truth of the matter and knew who wanted to harm Ye Jinyun, and he felt calm. He asked Lu Zhengyan to continue interrogating Yang, while he left the study and returned to the delivery room.
