When Lu Li heard the information Shen Yuan'er told him, he felt that this was a trap set for Li Han, so he decided to investigate from Shen Lingli.
He called Lu Yuan over and said, "Lu Yuan, send someone to follow Hua Yunyun and check her whereabouts. Find out who she has been in contact with in recent days. Shen Yuaner told me that she spotted Shen Lingli before the banquet started. I suspect that these two are involved. So the most important thing now is to find evidence that they framed Li Han and lift the emperor's house arrest on her."
"Chen Lingli, we underestimated her. We never thought that a woman like her could return to the capital from exile. It seems that there are hidden forces in the capital that we haven't found yet. Don't worry, I will follow her personally."
After saying that, Lu Yuan left the general's mansion and went to where Hua Yunyun lived under the cover of night.
He secretly came to the outside of Hua Yunyun's room, and when he heard some movement inside, he immediately hid in the dark. After a while, a figure knocked on Hua Yunyun's door stealthily.
"who?"
“It’s me, Shen Lingli.”
The door squeaked open and closed quickly, and Lu Yuan emerged from the darkness. It was indeed Shen Lingli. It looked like there was a hidden secret between her and Hua Yunyun.
Since Hua Yunyun was also secretly protected by secret guards, in order to avoid alerting the enemy, Lu Yuan did not go forward to eavesdrop on their conversation, but turned and flew towards the general's mansion.
In Hua Yunyun's room, Shen Lingli asked anxiously, "How is it? Is it successful?"
Hua Yunyun slowly sat down and poured herself a cup of tea. "Why are you in such a hurry? I always hit the mark when I do things. I put some lemon in the food, and Tuoba Jun had an allergic reaction after just a little. Although the emperor didn't immediately punish Li Han, he still placed him under house arrest under pressure from the border envoys. I think they've begun to suspect someone is framing him, so it's best for you to hide and don't contact me again in the near future."
Shen Lingli's face lit up with joy when she heard this: "That's great, I'll feel great as long as I can make that bitch suffer. I'll be away for a few days and won't cause you any trouble. Don't worry, Miss Hua hopes that we will have the opportunity to cooperate again. Hahaha, see you later!" After that, Shen Lingli left.
Here, after leaving Hua Yunyun's residence, Lu Yuan rushed to the General's Mansion. He arrived at the study, where Lu Li was waiting for him. He said, "General, you guessed it right. I had just arrived at Hua Yunyun's residence when Shen Lingli came looking for her. I sensed that there was someone more powerful around her, so I didn't go forward to eavesdrop. I'm reporting this to you now. I believe this incident is definitely related to these two."
After listening to this, Lu Li said, "It seems that the person Shen Yuan'er saw in the palace that day was Shen Lingli. Since they tampered with the food, then there are so many people in the palace that someone must have seen her. Let's go to the palace immediately and start investigating from the imperial kitchen one by one to see if anyone found anyone suspicious that day. There is no time to lose, let's go now."
"Okay! I'll ask someone to prepare the horses." After saying that, Lu Yuan went out.
After they arrived at the palace and met the emperor, they told him their investigation. When the emperor heard that they were going to the imperial kitchen to check, he immediately asked them to go there. After asking some questions in the imperial kitchen, the person in the kitchen quickly remembered that there was something different on the day of the banquet. She thought about it seriously and described the appearance of the person who came to the imperial kitchen that day.
Listening to the description of the palace maid in the imperial kitchen, Lu Li quickly confirmed that it was Hua Yunyun without a doubt. He didn't expect that she would actually poison the person herself. It seemed that she still hadn't given up on Li Han.
Lu Yuan and Lu Li came to the hall with the palace maid to report to the emperor: "Your Majesty, it was this palace maid who discovered something wrong that day. From her description, I can be sure that the person was Hua Yunyun. Moreover, I asked Lu Yuan to monitor Hua Yunyun before and found that Shen Lingli was involved. Your Majesty, this matter really has nothing to do with Princess Li Han. I hope Your Majesty will understand." Lu Li bowed and said.
"Great job! Do you really think that they can frame me, a royal princess, whenever they want? Someone, bring Hua Yunyun to me, and send someone to search for Shen Lingli's hiding place immediately. Once found, arrest her immediately!" The emperor was furious. Not only did these two women frame his beloved daughter, they also almost alienated the relationship between the Kingdom of Li and the border. They were so despicable!
Soon Hua Yunyun was brought before the Emperor. On the way to the palace, Hua Yunyun knew that the truth had been revealed. She had to find a way to escape.
When they arrived at the palace, the emperor angrily said, "Bold Hua Yunyun, do you know your crime?"
Upon hearing this, Hua Yunyun cried bitterly, "Your Majesty, please understand. I really didn't know that Princess Tuoba Yun was allergic to lemons. It was Shen Lingli! Shen Lingli forced me to do all these things. She sent someone to force me to say that if I didn't do what she said, she would kill me. Your Majesty, I am innocent. I really didn't know, Your Majesty!"
"Are you talking about Shen Lingli? Wasn't she exiled by me?" The emperor was surprised that Shen Lingli had returned. He asked Shen's father: "Shen Aiqing, Shen Lingli is your daughter. How could you not know that she had returned? Do you know that it is a serious crime for an exiled criminal to return to the capital without permission? Aren't you afraid of being implicated?" The emperor said angrily.
Shen's father begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, please forgive me! Your Majesty, please forgive me! I really didn't know that Lingli had returned without permission. She didn't go home at all, Your Majesty, Your Majesty! Your Majesty, please see clearly, Your Majesty!" Shen's father knelt down hurriedly and begged for mercy. He couldn't help blaming Shen Lingli in his heart. Why didn't he stay at the border well, but had to return to Beijing without permission, which almost implicated his family.
At this time, Shen Lingli, who was blamed by Shen's father, heard the news that Hua Yunyun was arrested and brought into the palace, and knew that the matter was exposed. She hurriedly found someone to send her out of the city, but she didn't expect to be caught by Lu Li as soon as she left the house: "Shen Lingli! I have been waiting for you for a long time! Take you away!"
Shen Lingli was still struggling: "Listen to me, I didn't do this. It was Hua Yunyun who was jealous that Princess Li Han could live with you. She wanted to frame her because she was jealous of Princess Li Han. It has nothing to do with me. Please let me go, General Lu Li!" Shen Lingli looked at Lu Li and begged for mercy loudly.
Lu Li sneered and said, "Whether you are wronged or not, the emperor will decide for himself. Take you away!"
"No! I won't go to the palace, I won't go, let me go! Let me go!" Shen Lingli was still yelling.
The truth of the matter was finally revealed, and Shen Lingli was imprisoned for multiple crimes and awaited his fate.
At the same time, Li Han was also released.
Tuoba Jun expressed his apologies for what happened to Li Han: "Li Han, I'm sorry. It happened suddenly. The envoys were just worried about me and didn't mean to target you. I'll let them apologize to you. I'm sorry."
Li Han shook his head and said, "It's not their fault. I was careless. I thought that since we were in the palace and I was cooking the food myself, no one would dare to tamper with it. I was careless and gave them the opportunity to take advantage of me. It has nothing to do with you."
Tuoba Jun didn't expect Li Han to be so considerate. She thought princesses were all arrogant and domineering. As a result, her relationship with Li Han became better and they had a great time talking to each other.
