Didn't Love You Enough
Chapter 52
"You, come out!" Xuanyuan Hancheng pointed at the palace maid behind the Yu Clan.
Bi Ying nervously walked forward in fear. Her entire body trembled even more as she hid her left hand behind her back.
Concubine Yu's face instantly turned pale. She hurriedly walked forward and tried to explain for Bi Ying, "Your Majesty, Bi Ying is a little sick today. Please forgive her for her rudeness."
Xuanyuan Hancheng narrowed his eyes and said in a dangerous tone, "Sick?!
Why did you bring her to the First Prince's 100-day banquet if she's sick?
Concubine Yu, what are you trying to do? "
Concubine Yu was powerless to explain herself. She shook her head and knelt down.
"No … no, Your Majesty, this concubine didn't …"
Xuanyuan Hancheng didn't believe her at all. He ordered the Yuan Fu, "Go and see what Bi Ying is hiding in her sleeve."
"Yes."
The Yuan Fu brought two guards forward. Bi Ying hurriedly knelt down and begged for mercy.
"Your Majesty, please spare me!
Your Majesty, please spare me! "
The two guards restrained her. The Yuan Fu saw that her sleeve was a little wet, so he dug out a piece of ice from her tightly clenched fist.
Bi Ying's left hand was already blue from the cold. She was scared out of her wits when she saw that her secret had been exposed. She cried and begged, "Your Majesty, please spare me!
Concubine Concubine Yu forced me to do this!
Your Majesty, please spare me! "
"Your Majesty, don't listen to Bi Ying's nonsense. Someone must have ordered Bi Ying to frame this concubine!
This concubine has been wronged … "Concubine Yu also knelt down to plead for her innocence.
Bi Ying despaired when she saw that Concubine Yu was trying to clear her name.
She really had a hard life. Not only did she have to endure Concubine Yu's beatings and scoldings, but she was also forced to murder an imperial heir. If she was discovered, she would die. If she succeeded, she would be silenced.
Since she was going to die anyway, she didn't care anymore.
Bi Ying immediately revealed everything about Her Highness Concubine Yu, and explained that Her Highness Concubine Yu had prepared an ice tablet for the first prince in advance, but there were too many wet nurses and palace maids to look after the little prince, so she couldn't find an opportunity to do so.
Today, Concubine Yu had wanted to hug the Dun Dun several times, but Wet Nurse Chen had stopped her.
In the end, Concubine Yu had no choice but to return the ice chip to Biying in her wide sleeves. However, Biying was too timid and was discovered by the emperor when she was about to leave.
"B * tch! How can there be such a vicious woman?" The Empress Dowager was furious when she heard that Concubine Yu wanted to harm the Dun Dun.
Lin Jiabao also felt a chill run down his spine when he heard Bi Ying's recount.
Lin Jiabao didn't know that a small ice tablet could harm people. He looked at the Dun Dun, who was still sleeping soundly. If Concubine Yu really had her way, then the Dun Dun …
Lin Jiabao couldn't help but shiver.
Xuanyuan Hancheng held Guai Bao's hand when he saw this. He knew that Guai Bao was frightened.
"Don't be afraid."
Xuanyuan Hancheng looked at the ice tablet that Yuan Fu presented. It was rectangular in shape, and from its thickness, it was obvious that it had been prepared in advance.
Xuanyuan Hancheng couldn't hold back his anger. He felt a little guilty towards this Yu Clan because her child had been killed by Xu Xueying. Because he had been reborn too late, he hadn't been able to avoid it.
However, he hadn't expected that this Yu Qin was just like Xu Xueying. They were both vicious women.
Today, she actually dared to try to harm his child right under his nose.
"Yu Clan, what else do you have to say?" Xuanyuan Hancheng picked up the ice tablet and threw it at Concubine Yu's face.
"Ah!
Your Majesty, Bi Ying is slandering me! This concubine didn't do anything!
This concubine is innocent! "Concubine Yu covered her face and stubbornly refused to admit it. She cried and quibbled.
The Dun Dun was woken up by Concubine Yu's cries and started sobbing.
When the empress dowager saw this, she hurriedly ordered Wet Nurse Chen to carry the Dun Dun to her. "Dun Dun, this concubine's good grandson, don't cry, don't cry."
The Dun Dun was very easy to coax. As soon as he was in the empress dowager's arms and comforted by his kind grandmother, he immediately stopped crying.
"Your Majesty, please handle this properly. This concubine will take the Dun Dun back to Yong Shou Palace first.
Our Dun Dun can't see these filthy things. Tonight, he will sleep with Grandmother. "After saying this, the empress dowager left with the Dun Dun.
When Xuanyuan Hancheng saw the empress dowager leave with the Dun Dun, he turned his head to look at Concubine Yu, who was kneeling on the ground.
He coldly said, "Yuan Fu, go take a look at Concubine Yu's hand."
At this time, Concubine Yu began to struggle violently. Yuan Fu had the imperial bodyguards step forward and hold her down.
He grabbed both of her hands and saw that her left hand was also cold and blue. There were even traces of ice on her palm.
"Your Majesty …" Concubine Yu's face immediately turned ashen. She understood that the situation was hopeless.
"Who gave you the courage? Do you know what kind of crime it is to murder an imperial heir?" Xuanyuan Hancheng said. His voice wasn't loud, but it gave people a feeling that a storm was coming.
Everyone on the side could feel the emperor's anger. The Imperial Noble Lord and the eldest prince were the emperor's reverse scales.
Concubine Yu was doomed this time.
Concubine Yu saw the emperor's murderous gaze and her heart turned cold.
She knew that she couldn't escape this time. She noticed the Imperial Noble Lord's disgusted gaze and the other people's disdain. She even saw the empress dowager's gloating expression.
Concubine Yu's heart was filled with regret. How could she act like she was possessed?
Concubine Yu slowly looked around. When she saw Princess Yi looking at her with an expressionless face, she suddenly understood something.
She had been too stupid. She had become the knife that Princess Yi used to kill people.
Concubine Yu thought unwillingly. Since she couldn't be kind, she wouldn't let Princess Yi, this ambitious woman, have an easy time.
Wen Wenqian had seen everything that had happened. Her heart was filled with apprehension, but she suppressed it and didn't show it on her face.
Concubine Yu was truly stupid. She had originally revealed the method of using ice because she wanted Concubine Yu to think of a way to bribe the eldest prince's wet nurse and have her act according to the circumstances.
She didn't expect Concubine Yu to be so stupid. She actually dared to act personally and her methods were so clumsy. She was simply seeking her own death.
Right now, the most important thing was to prevent Concubine Yu from saying anything related to her.
Wen Wenqian was constantly paying attention to Concubine Yu's expression. When she saw the look of realization on Concubine Yu's face, she knew that Concubine Yu intended to drag her down with her.
Wen Wenqian hurriedly stepped forward and reprimanded Concubine Yu in a righteous and righteous manner.
"Concubine Yu, you're a mother in vain.
You actually did such a disgraceful thing.
The eldest prince is still so young. How could you bear to hurt him?
And how heartbroken would the imperial noble lady be? Put yourself in her shoes. Have you ever thought about your daughter An 'er before doing such a thing?!
When she grows up in the future and learns that she has a mother like you, how would she miss you?
What would An 'er do in the future?
Have you ever thought about it? "
Wen Wenqian pretended to question Concubine Yu sternly, as if she was feeling indignant on behalf of the imperial noble lady. However, her words never left Concubine Yu's daughter.
When Concubine Yu heard Princess Yi's words, she was already in tears.
Yes, she still had a daughter. What would An 'er do in the future?
When she heard Princess Yi's words, which sounded like she was worried about An 'er, only she understood the meaning behind Princess Yi's words.
She actually wanted to use An 'er as a threat …
Concubine Yu smiled bitterly. In reality, she couldn't blame anyone for her current situation. However, it was already too late for her to understand.
As for this Princess Yi, the emperor wasn't a fool. He would investigate sooner or later. Concubine Yu believed that she wouldn't have a good ending.
"Your Majesty, this concubine knows that her sins are grave, but An 'er is innocent.
Your Majesty, please forgive her on account of the fact that she is of your blood. "
After saying this, Concubine Yu didn't wait for Xuanyuan Hancheng to reply before she forcefully slammed her head against a carved marble pillar.
Today, the eldest prince's 100-day banquet was being held in the Hall of Declaring Peace. The pillars in the hall were all made of marble and were extremely sturdy.
Concubine Yu used a lot of force when she slammed her head against the pillar. A large hole appeared in her forehead, causing blood to flow out. She immediately stopped breathing.
As soon as Concubine Yu made her move, Xuanyuan Hancheng immediately pulled Guai Bao into his arms to prevent him from seeing this bloody scene.
When Wen Wenqian saw this, he inwardly let out a sigh of relief.
For something like this to happen at the Dun Dun's 100-day banquet today, it was really too unlucky.
Xuanyuan Hancheng brought Guai Bao back to the palace.
Xuanyuan Hancheng and Lin Jiabao returned to Pingle Park. Lin Jiabao was depressed the entire way.
"Guai Bao, don't be afraid." Xuanyuan Hancheng also knew that today's events had upset Guai Bao.
Lin Jiabao snuggled up against Xuanyuan Hancheng's chest. Although Concubine Yu deserved it, this was the first time someone had died in front of him. He still felt very uncomfortable.
Once again, he witnessed the cruelty of the imperial palace. He never had the intention to harm anyone, but others …
"I stole Hubby's favor, but why did she want to harm the Dun Dun? The Dun Dun is still so young!"
Lin Jiabao's words carried a sobbing tone. He also knew that he had monopolized Hubby's favor, but the Dun Dun was innocent.
"Guai Bao, don't cry. Don't let your imagination run wild.
It has nothing to do with you, Guai Bao. She was jealous and greedy. "Xuanyuan Hancheng gently wiped away the tears on Guai Bao's face. He just felt helpless that he hadn't been reborn a few years earlier.
"Hubby won't let anything happen to you and the Dun Dun. You have to believe in hubby." Xuanyuan Hancheng gently patted Lin Jiabao's back and gently comforted him.
At night, Xuanyuan Hancheng accompanied Guai Bao to sleep, but he didn't sleep himself.
After a while, he saw that Guai Bao was sound asleep, so he quietly got up.
After Xuanyuan Hancheng went to the inner study, he ordered the Yuan Fu to summon Zheng Rong to see him.
Xuanyuan Hancheng had already ordered Zheng Rong to investigate Concubine Yu's matter.
Zheng Rong then took away all the servants who served in Concubine Yu's courtyard. After Biying was taken away, Zheng Rong gave him a lot of instructions.
After Zheng Rong arrived, he presented the information he found to Xuanyuan Hancheng.
Biying's confession was included in the information Zheng Rong presented.
It turned out that Princess Yi was behind this matter. Xuanyuan Hancheng frowned. The thing he didn't want to happen still happened.
Xuanyuan Hancheng knew that his younger brother definitely didn't know about this matter. He also sank into deep self-reproach. After being reborn, he was still careless and didn't choose a good princess consort for his younger brother.
Just as Xuanyuan Hancheng was thinking about how to deal with Wen Wenqian and how to explain it to his younger brother …
At this moment, Qi 'er, who had followed Prince Yi and Princess Yi back to Prince Yi's residence, was completely awake.
She was terrified by what she saw at the Eldest Prince's 100th day banquet today. Concubine Yu had passed away just like that, and Biying …
Because Princess Yi and Concubine Yu were close friends, the two of them were naturally close as well.
This time, Biying was most likely going to be in trouble.
They really had a hard life as servants. When their master made a mistake, they had to suffer as well.
Especially when they came back at night, Princess Yi looked at her with such cold eyes. Qi 'er was terrified and didn't know what to do.
Qi 'er was sold to the Marquess Of Jingxi's residence when she was very young. She had served Princess Yi since she was young, so she naturally knew Wen Wenqian's temper.
She really regretted telling Princess Yi about the conversation between the Emperor and the Empress Dowager. Now that she knew too much, Princess Yi would get rid of her sooner or later.
Qi 'er squatted alone in the small garden of Prince Yi's residence and cried softly. She felt helpless and hesitant.
She didn't know when she would lose her life in the future.
After what happened tonight, Xuanyuan Hanqi was also quite annoyed. Being born in the imperial family was like this. There were always such terrible things happening.
Xuanyuan Hanqi was no longer sleepy and was about to go to the practice room to practice martial arts. When he passed by the small garden, he heard crying.
"Who is it?"
Qi 'er stopped crying and followed the sound.
