The reborn mistress is back, the scumbag is shivering
Chapter 157 The mastermind behind the scenes
"Ah!" The imperial concubine suddenly exclaimed, attracting everyone's attention.
"You can't kill him!" The imperial concubine's words deepened everyone's suspicion of her.
"Your Majesty! This person is the key. I am unjustly accused. This person must be kept for interrogation slowly. The mastermind behind the scenes must be found out. Otherwise, everyone will think that I am deliberately plotting to kill the prince. I am really going to die unjustly. ”
Xiao Luoheng looked calm. He glanced at the people at the banquet and found nothing strange. Only Hui Bin looked away when she looked at him.
Xiao Luoheng frowned slightly and mentally eliminated Hui Bin's suspicion. After all, he and Hui Bin had never had a conflict, and there was not even any conflict of interest between the two.
Although the third prince is older, Hui concubine is of low birth and is not favored by the emperor. The third prince is also cowardly. It would be really stupid for Hui concubine to really want to support her son to become the emperor.
After all, the ministers in the court are not vegetarians, especially Li Shoufu. Once the third prince ascends the throne and becomes the emperor, if the ministers are strong and the master is weak, the third prince will sooner or later become the puppet of the powerful officials. It is better to be a dashing prince all his life and to fief the land with the third prince.
If she had some brains and would not think of assassinating the prince in the palace, it would be possible for the imperial concubine to catch the thief.
Ning Wan, however, stared intently at the sachet dropped by the assassin on the ground. She just felt like she had seen such a pattern somewhere before. She found that Hui Bin kept avoiding Xiao Luoheng's eyes, and she felt confused.
The imperial concubine felt deeply uneasy when she saw everyone staring at her. She always felt that someone was trying to harm her.
I also want to harm Xiao Luoheng. If Xiao Luoheng is really dead, he can justifiably blame her. If he is not dead,
She couldn't survive being accused of murdering the crown prince. Her selfish father would definitely not choose to be an enemy of the crown prince at this time for the sake of the Li family.
Ning Wan shook her head. The person behind the scenes must be caught, otherwise there is no telling how many things will happen.
Ning Wan and Xiao Luoheng looked at each other and found that they had gained nothing.
However, Ning Wan realized something was wrong when she saw Hui Bin avoiding Xiao Luoheng's gaze again.
Although most of the women in the palace keep their emotions and anger hidden, a person's eyes and physiological reactions cannot be controlled.
She suddenly discovered that the pattern on the handkerchief held by Hui Bin was very similar to the pattern on the assassin's sachet.
Although the patterns of these things are quite similar, the color scheme of the pattern on Hui Bin's veil is different from the others.
Ning Wan did not exclude Hui concubine like Xiao Luoheng, but instead listed her as a key observation object.
"Since this assassin won't speak, let's just drag him down and cut him into pieces with a thousand cuts!" After Xiao Luoheng finished speaking, he directly motioned for An Yi to pull him down.
Hui Bin looked at the assassin's last look at her and closed her eyes deeply.
Xiao Luoheng saw no reaction from the people present, so he cut off the assassin's right hand with his sword.
The assassin let out a scream that was horrifying.
Hui Bin looked at the splattered blood and opened her mouth but said nothing.
Xiao Luoheng drew out his long sword and pointed the blood-stained sword at the imperial concubine with a smile: "The imperial concubine may as well explain to me first why there is no one patrolling near your palace. Is it possible that the imperial concubine can have orders?" What are your defense skills in the palace?"
"Sir, no matter how you say it, she can be regarded as your elder!"
When the emperor saw Xiao Luoheng pointing his sword at him in public on a day like this, he angrily ordered: "Suppress this traitor to me, and I will punish you thirty times!"
The emperor waited for a long time but found that all the soldiers below were waiting for Xiao Luoheng's orders.
She pointed at him with trembling hands angrily, feeling a sweet taste in her throat. Seeing this, the imperial concubine said,
Immediately send someone to call the imperial doctor. Nothing should happen to the emperor now. Otherwise, if the emperor dies today, Xiao Luoheng will ascend the throne and proclaim himself emperor tomorrow, and he will order her to be buried.
Hui Bin felt that the emperor fainted at the right time, and she was finally free.
She was so frightened that cold sweat broke out on her forehead, and she immediately relaxed, feeling exhausted and slumped in her seat.
Xiao Luoheng looked at her deeply, and Ning Wan turned around and came to her side: "The color of Empress Hui's veil is nice!"
The corner of Hui Bin's mouth twitched, and her face stiffened for a moment: "This is just a gadget that I casually show off..."
"Really?" Ning Wan pointed to the sachet dropped by the assassin on the ground: "The color of the pattern on the sachet is somewhat similar to the one on the empress's handkerchief."
Hui Bin felt that her mind went blank, and she even lost the consciousness to think for a while. Her face stiffened for a moment, and then she immediately returned to her smile: "Really? It's a coincidence that Miss Ning wouldn't have noticed it if she didn't remind me."
Ning Wan smiled and left with her mother. After all, the emperor had fainted, so no one dared to stay at this banquet.
But she just tested it out, and this Hui concubine really spoke perfectly.
But this matter, so far, doesn't really seem to have anything to do with her.
The nun next to Hui Bin looked at the sachet that fell on the ground, and immediately reminded: "Mother, should we send someone to pick it up?"
"Don't..." Hui Bin grabbed her nanny's hand: "There must be many eyes staring at it now. Let's not touch this thing."
"It's good that your Majesty knows what's going on. This matter is due to the old slave's misunderstanding."
An San hid in the dark and saw the master and servant leaving before leaving from the other side.
Ning Wan was not discouraged after learning about it. How could a woman alive in the palace not be wary?
……
After the emperor woke up, he found the imperial concubine standing beside the bed with red eyes. He suddenly felt warm in his heart: "Thank you for your hard work, my beloved concubine. I actually believe in your beloved concubine..."
The emperor wanted to say something else, but unexpectedly, the imperial concubine immediately hugged the emperor and cried so hard that it was hard to recognize that she felt pity for him.
Although the imperial concubine gave birth to Xiao Mingwei and the second prince Xiao Zhuorui, she had been pampered and pampered for so many years, and the years not only left no trace on her face, but even added a bit of charm.
"Your Majesty, if you have something to do, how do you want me to live? His Highness the Crown Prince obviously has a problem with me. If you have something to do, I will accompany you... to avoid disturbing the eyes of others. …”
The imperial concubine calmly applied eye drops to the emperor. The emperor sighed and patted the imperial concubine on the back: "Okay, okay, now that the prince is too powerful and prestigious, I'm afraid he won't treat me like this. The emperor takes it seriously."
……
Prince Duan was lying on the bed, feeling that life was worse than death.
When the subordinates around him heard that Prince Duan was injured, they immediately came over to express their loyalty: "Your Highness, His Royal Highness is so arrogant and dares to hurt the Prince to such an extent. Should we send someone to avenge you..."
