The doctor concubine who broke off the engagement was forced to rush to the wedding, but became the

Pei Jingshu stood aside with a cold expression, clutching the bed curtains tightly with one hand, her nails almost tearing the silk, as if the person in her hand was the one who poisoned her sister.

After a moment, she said to Pei Yi: "Brother Yi, come with me for a moment. I have something to tell you."

Pei Yi nodded and followed Pei Jingshu out.

The two of them sat in the pavilion in the Rose Courtyard.

Pei Jingshu said to Pei Yi, "I think my third sister's illness is exactly the same as mother's." She spoke slowly but with certainty.

This sentence made Pei Yi's heart tighten, he even found it difficult to breathe, and his brows were completely twisted into a "川" shape.

He was already a teenager when his mother died.

At that time, he had to read military books and practice formation skills with his father. He was also older, so it was not as convenient for him to enter and leave the rear house as Pei Jingshu. He was also not like Pei Jingshu who could stay with his mother all day and observe her closely.

His eyebrows darkened, and he looked at Pei Jingshu and said, "Are you saying that my mother was also poisoned?

Pei Jingshu nodded.

Pei Yi clenched his fists and smashed them hard on the stone table, instantly knocking off a piece of the table's edge.

"How ridiculous! This must be Lin's fault! I will not let anyone who dares to harm my mother's life have an easy life!"

-

That night, just as Lin turned off the lights and prepared to go to bed, a gust of wind suddenly blew into the room and blew out her candle.

It was late at night and dark clouds covered the moon.

The room suddenly became dark. A chill filled the air. The only sound that could be heard was the rustling of leaves in the breeze outside the window.

Lin felt a chill on her back, her heart was beating like a drum, and all kinds of terrible scenes kept flashing in her mind. She didn't dare to look back, for fear of seeing something she shouldn't see.

Suddenly, a dark shadow fell from the front, only half a foot away from her.

It turned out to be a female ghost with disheveled hair, blood coming out of all her orifices, and bulging eyeballs. She said to Lin: "Have I ever told you not to have any ideas about my children? If you dare to harm my children, I will drag your children down with me to be buried with you! It was not enough that you harmed me back then, and you still want to harm my daughter? I think Brother Song is very cute, and I really want him to come down and accompany me."

Lin was so frightened that she fell to the ground, waving her hands at the ghost, "It's not me, it's not me, it was that little bitch Qin Baiwei who deliberately tricked me. She deliberately poisoned the rabbit in the garden and left the poison there. She knew I was there, but she pretended to talk to herself, letting me know that the poison was colorless and tasteless, and that if a person was poisoned by it, it would just be like having a chronic disease, and even the doctors in the Imperial Hospital would have trouble finding it out. She tricked me!"

The ghost girl said, "Can you swear on your two children that you were not the one who poisoned Sister Yu?"

Lin nodded hurriedly and said, "It really wasn't me. Besides me, Qin Baiwei also knew about the poison. She must have been the one who poisoned it."

The ghost girl said, "Do you dare to confess and sign everything you said? If we go to the underworld and stand before the King of Hell, I will explain everything to you so as not to implicate your children."

Lin nodded quickly and said, "Sign it. I'll sign it."

As soon as she finished speaking, a piece of white paper appeared in front of her. It was filled with a confession, describing how she was induced by Qin Baiwei to poison the former Princess of Yan. The ink was still dry.

Lin was puzzled. Why did this ghost carry paper and pen?

Just as she was distractedly thinking, a long tongue suddenly fell in front of her eyes, scaring her so much that she moved back two steps.

The female ghost said, "Why don't you get your handprints on my blood?"

Lin was so frightened that she forgot all thoughts and just did as the female ghost said. She tremblingly touched her tongue and then pressed her fingerprint on the confession.

After receiving the signed confession, the female ghost quickly retreated and soon disappeared.

Lin breathed a sigh of relief, only to feel a wet and cold spot under his butt. He looked down and realized that he had peed his pants out of fright.

At this moment, the maids in the courtyard heard the noise, rushed into Lin's room, and asked, "Princess, what happened?"

When he lowered his head, he saw a scene that Lin never wanted anyone to see in his entire life.

"Get out of here!" Lin grabbed the vase on the coffee table next to her and threw it at the old women.

Everyone was so frightened that they fled out of the house.

Lin stayed awake all night, and so did Prince Pei Yuan of Yan.

Lin didn't know that the female ghost was really someone hired by Pei Yi to dress up as a ghost.

That night, Pei Yi obtained the confession and took the signed confession to Pei Yuan's study.

Pei Yuan was speechless for a long time after reading the confession.

Pei Yi looked at Pei Yuan and said, "I hope my father can divorce my wife. After the divorce, her life or death will have nothing to do with you. As for Qin, if she dares to attack my third sister, I will not spare her life."

Pei Yuan looked at Pei Yi with a difficult expression on his face, and said, "Do you know what is going on now? Emperor Jingzhao is even more petty than Emperor Jingde. Lin is now the mother of the Empress, and if I divorce her, Emperor Jingzhao will lose face. Qin Baiwei also contributed to Emperor Jingzhao's ascension to the throne, and he favors her. If any of them is dealt with, Emperor Jingzhao will have a reason to attack the Prince of Yan's Mansion. Are you afraid that he can't find a reason to deal with you now?"

Seeing Pei Yi remained silent for a long time, he continued, "You can let Lin and Qin go to the Buddhist temple and copy scriptures for your mother for the rest of their lives. I can also give you the title of Prince of Yan's Mansion in advance. You can make the decisions on all the affairs of the palace in the future. If you don't care about the lives of hundreds of people in Prince of Yan's Mansion, then I won't care either."

Pei Yi clenched his fists and looked at Pei Yuan and said, "I thought that my father often went to the ancestral hall to visit my mother, and he was sincere to her. My father wanted to save Lin's life, so aren't you afraid that my mother's spirit in heaven will be disturbed?"

Pei Yuan was so angry that he pointed at Pei Yi and said, "Am I doing this to save Lin's life? I am doing this for your situation!"

Pei Yi stood in front of Pei Yuan's desk with a tense expression. He looked at Pei Yuan and said, "No matter what, I will avenge my mother and third sister." Then he turned and left.

Pei Yuan looked at Pei Yi's departing back, then took one look at the confession. He grabbed the inkstone on the table and threw it hard to the ground.
