Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Spring in the Palace

* Hall of Mental Cultivation

Su Lian led Concubine Yu in. Hai Lan bowed to them, and then the Queen asked, "Concubine Yu, I summoned you here for something."

Hai Lan stood there with a calm expression, "If the Queen has anything to ask you, I will tell you everything I know."

"Li Yu is dead, did you know?" said the queen.

Hai Lan looked surprised, shook her head and said, "I don't know."

"Sanbao said that you ordered him to kill Li Yu. Is that true?" Langya asked as she looked at Hailan's calm appearance.

"That's not the case." Hai Lan answered confidently. "San Bao must have hated Li Yu for taking his position, so he committed the crime on purpose."

Sanbao felt a chill in his heart.

From the day he met Li Xin, he already knew his fate. No matter who he was used as a pawn, the end would be death.

But he was still willing to use his entire soul to transform into a ball of hot poisonous oil, to add as many twists and turns as possible to his former master's smooth life.

Otherwise, he would have died at the hands of those who were hostile to Concubine Xian, so it would have made no difference. Even if he died, Concubine Xian would not shed a single tear for him. Isn't惢心 an example? She was tortured like that, and when she got married, she didn't even have any valuables, but only some garbage that could be found everywhere outside the palace.

Isn't it ridiculous that you took the trouble to send someone to buy some sundries from a palace maid who married outside the palace?

Can’t惢心 and the others buy it themselves?

Sanbao's heart turned cold. He did not really do anything for Concubine Yu. He was just following Jiapin's instructions and instigated Concubine Yu to execute Li Yu. Then Jiapin would find Li Yu's body and use it as an excuse for revenge.

But Concubine Yu herself did not know about this.

She just thought that Sanbao listened to her because he hated Li Yu and was loyal to Concubine Xian.

Sanbao felt cold in his body and heart. He felt that his soul and muscles were trembling.

Even if Concubine Yu believed that he was loyal to Concubine Xian, she would still put all the blame on him. Even if he helped Concubine Yu and Concubine Xian to execute Li Yu, he still couldn't escape death.

is it?

Even if he truly loves Concubine Xian, he can't escape death, right?

San Bao spoke sadly, crying, "Empress Yu couldn't stand Li Yu. She said that the emperor was unwilling to come to Yikun Palace often because of Li Yu's existence, so she always wanted to get rid of Eunuch Li."

"I am loyal to Master Xian. Master Xian is on good terms with Concubine Yu, so I believe that Concubine Yu will not harm our master. I followed Concubine Yu's orders and killed Eunuch Li."

"But I didn't expect to frighten Concubine Jia and the Fourth Prince. I know that I have committed a serious sin, so I beg for death." Sanbao kowtowed on the ground and said with tears in his eyes.

Hailan showed some disdain on her face. She knew that Sanbao was a spineless person who would involve her when something happened. She was right.

"Your Majesty, I am a good friend of your sister. How could I kill someone in your palace?" Hai Lan looked at the emperor with a sincere expression.

"Didn't Sanbao say it very clearly? Concubine Yu suspected that the emperor disliked Li Yu, and was worried that the emperor would also dislike Concubine Xian. So she got rid of Li Yu so that the emperor would not vent his anger on Concubine Xian." Jiapin said with a slight curl of her lips.

All four corners of the imperial concubine position are complete. Concubine Ling, Concubine Mei and Concubine Shu are in a group. If you touch one of them, you will be targeted by the other two. It is extremely difficult to get rid of one of them.

On the contrary, Concubine Yu's heart is full of Concubine Xian. Although she has a child, she is not favored by the emperor.

As for Jin Yuyan, she has two princes. So Jiapin was confident of victory. She only needed to pin the matter on Hailan. The emperor would definitely not let it go easily.

Although the emperor disliked Li Yu, Li Yu was still a person bestowed by the emperor. How bold was Concubine Yu to kill even a person bestowed by the emperor.

Hai Lan had a bit of anger on her face. She didn't like others targeting her sister, and she didn't want her sister to be gossiped about because of her, so she said, "Jiapin only listened to the nonsense of Sanbao, a servant, and didn't listen to me. It can be seen that Jiapin has lost her sense of justice."

Jin Yuyan smiled slightly, pulled up the corner of her mouth and said teasingly, "Concubine Yu, why are you so anxious about me? It is not up to me to decide whether it is true or not. You should continue to argue with Sanbao."

Hai Lan turned her head away, snorted coldly, knelt down and looked at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I have never done this."

The emperor sighed and said helplessly, "Please sit down first."

Ye Xin helped Hai Lan up again.

Yan Wan tried to calm the tense atmosphere and said, "Sister Yu Fei is right. Whether it is true or not is not something that can be decided by one person. We need to find evidence."

"However, the emperor asked Jinzhong to interrogate the palace maids in Yikun Palace, but I heard that Concubine Yu also lives in Yikun Palace." Yanwan reminded.

She turned her beautiful eyes to stare at Jinzhong, smiled slightly, and said, "Jinzhong, let me ask you, when you went to interrogate Yikun Palace, did you ask about the people around Concubine Yu?"

Jinzhong shook his head and whispered, "In reply to Concubine Ling, I have never asked."

"When I was interrogating her in the Yikun Palace, Concubine Yu came out to stop me and forbade me to ask the palace maids in the Yikun Palace. It was only after I said that it was the Emperor's order that Concubine Yu stopped getting angry."

Jinzhong looked sad, and looked at Concubine Yu with some fear, then looked at the emperor anxiously, and said, "I wanted to ask the people around Concubine Yu, but I saw that Concubine Yu was in a bad mood, so I didn't ask because I was afraid of delaying the emperor's business."

Sanbao suddenly looked up at the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, whether it is true or not, you will know once you examine Wufu. Because we were afraid of being discovered and could not draw attention, Wufu and I dug the pit together with our hands. My hands were worn out by the sand and gravel in the soil, and there must be traces of Wufu's hands on it."

The emperor had a gloomy face, and Hai Lan said bitterly, "Sanbao, you took the trouble to slander me, what is your intention? Your Majesty, you can't listen to Sanbao, Your Majesty, maybe Sanbao colluded with Wufu who was by my side when I didn't know, and Wufu assisted Sanbao in killing Li Yu, and then framed the crime on me."

When the emperor raised his hand, Hailan immediately stopped talking. She was like a duck with its throat pinched, unable to make any more calls. She knew that the emperor was suspicious of her.

"Jinzhong, go and interrogate the people around Concubine Yu, and then bring Wufu back to report." Langya said.

Jinzhong responded and walked out.

A moment later, Wu Fu was brought in. The rest of the people who served Concubine Yu were still being interrogated.

Wu Fu was kneeling in the center of the hall, next to him was his friend San Bao, and sitting on his right was his loyal master Concubine Yu.

"Wu Fu, can you help San Bao kill Li Yu?" the Queen asked.
