The evil woman becomes the concubine and the villain is crushed to ashes

"My people were able to find him this time because he made such a big noise. But after a little investigation, we found him."

When he said this, the Fifth Prince paused, and suddenly took out the jade gourd that Xie Lingxi had given him last time from his arms.

Playing with the small jade gourd, the Fifth Prince looked at Xie Lingxi and asked.

"I wonder what Miss Xie thinks?"

Xie Lingxi asked doubtfully: "Your Highness, I don't understand what you mean by that."

The fifth prince still looked extremely patient.

"I want to ask Miss Xie if she has any opinion on this person's identity. Tell me, is he Mrs. Lin's son, or is he deliberately thrown out by someone with ulterior motives to deceive me?"

Xie Lingxi vaguely realized that the Fifth Prince seemed to be testing her, but she didn't understand why. After thinking about it, she answered truthfully.

"I'm sorry I can't confirm the identity, but I believe Your Highness can definitely do it. If Your Highness is sure that this man is not Mrs. Lin's son, then you wouldn't have asked me to come here today. After all, I haven't seen Mrs. Lin's son either."

The Fifth Prince heard this and spoke after a long silence.

"So what you mean is, if I say he is, then he is, and if I say he is not, then he is not? Do you trust me so much?"

Xie Lingxi couldn't help but laugh.

"Your Highness, the case you are investigating is related to you. After all, I am just helping you. In terms of the degree of care, Your Highness is definitely more concerned than me."

"Not to mention that Your Highness, you have a better advantage than me in investigating this matter. If Your Highness cannot confirm the identity of this person, I think it is impossible for me to confirm it either."

The fifth prince looked at Xie Lingxi for a while before nodding.

"You are quite good at talking. Yes, I have confirmed this person's identity several times. He is Mrs. Lin's son."

Xie Lingxi's expression remained calm, and then she asked.

"Your Highness, since this person's identity has been confirmed, I think Your Highness should have interrogated him. I want to hear what you found out."

The fifth prince looked at the rock not far away.

Panshi stepped forward, took out a piece of paper from his arms, and presented it respectfully with both hands. The Fifth Prince signaled with his eyes, and Panshi handed the paper to Xie Lingxi.

Xie Lingxi took it and took a look. It was indeed Lin Yang's confession. Xie Lingxi read it carefully and felt inexplicably relieved.

Because the contents of this confession matched what he had told Lan Ye before.

In other words, all the gossip that he heard during his lifetime and after his death in his previous life were true.

It turns out that Mrs. Lin is related to Concubine Shun and Concubine Wan!

It was clearly written in the confession that the pregnancy-preserving medicine at that time was indeed replaced by Mrs. Lin with a tonic prescription.

The effect of this prescription is mainly to nourish the child, but there will not be much change for the pregnant woman.

However, the older the child is, the more difficult the delivery will be, and the mother cannot benefit from the repair of the fetus unless there is a very dedicated imperial physician to remind her.

Otherwise, neither the pregnant mother nor others would be able to tell anything.

After seeing the rest, Xie Lingxi's expression also changed slightly, because of the origin of this prescription -

The prescription was indeed provided by Madam Xiao, but Madam Xiao got it from her concubine, Feng Xiaoniang. Feng Xiaoniang...

Just at this moment the fifth prince spoke.

"Miss Xie, it seems that I have found my enemy now. In addition to Concubine Shun and Concubine Wan, the Xiao family is obviously involved. And it is obvious that it is not just Madam Xiao's own idea, but the entire Xiao family is involved."

"Without Xiao Yuanshan's consent, I think Madam Xiao would not be able to get the prescription from Mrs. Feng. Miss Xie, everything seems clear now."

"I can't deal with Shunpin and Wan Guifei for now, but dealing with the Xiao family seems to be no problem. In order to avenge my biological mother, do you think I should start with the Xiao family?"

When the Fifth Prince said this, his tone was very calm, so calm that it was a little scary.

Xie Lingxi also heard that the Fifth Prince really doubted herself. She suspected that all this was arranged by herself and that she was the one who sent Lin Yang out.

After all, he now has a grudge against the Xiao family, and this prescription came from the Xiao family. It was not just Mrs. Xiao's idea, but the entire Xiao family was involved. So naturally, the Xiao family could not escape the Fifth Prince's reckoning.

If the Fifth Prince were to liquidate the Xiao family, he and the Xie family would be the biggest beneficiaries, so it was understandable and reasonable for the Fifth Prince to have this suspicion.

Xie Lingxi did not get angry after being suspected. Instead, she put the confession on the table, picked up the teacup and took a sip, her expression still calm.

"Since Your Highness has asked so many questions, I think you have an idea in mind. However, I think we should not alert the enemy now. Even if the Xiao family is the softest persimmon, it is not a good time to move now."

"A thief is guilty of his crime. If Shunpin and Wan Guifei find out something, it will not be so easy for you, the fifth prince, to avenge your mother in the future."

The fifth prince raised his eyebrows and asked, "What do you think, Miss Xie? Are you planning to let me let the Xiao family go first?"

Xie Lingxi shook her head and said to Lin Yang.

"We have found witnesses and confessions, but these are not enough. To catch the thief, we need to take away the culprit. If the Fifth Prince wants to bring down his enemies, he needs witnesses, physical evidence, and confessions."

"Now that the Fifth Prince has found out so far, the evidence is not complete. It only confirms part of what I said before. The more people are involved, the more cautious His Royal Highness the Fifth Prince must be."

"After all, no matter how much or how little they did, these people are the ones who harmed your mother. They are all murderers. If it were me, no matter how many there are, I would have to find them all. No innocent people would be harmed, but no murderer could be let go. Slow and steady is the best strategy. This is my opinion."

The fifth prince looked at Xie Lingxi's expression carefully and asked.

"You mean, let me take my time before taking action? Are you sure you don't want me to take action against the Xiao family at this time? Or, I can deal with Shunpin and Concubine Wan, or I can also take action against the Eighth Prince and the Third Prince. I can still make some trouble."

Xie Lingxi knew that the Fifth Prince was deliberately seducing her.

If I really ask the Fifth Prince to help, I would be suspected of killing someone with a borrowed knife.

Xie Lingxi sighed, looked at the fifth prince with clear eyes and said, "Your Highness, I still say the same thing, catch the thief and seize the stolen goods, and things will be smoothed over slowly. It has been so many years since the incident with Lipin. If you want to take revenge, you must produce enough evidence to silence your enemy."

"But this is your personal grudge after all, Your Highness. I can only express my thoughts. As for more, it is not convenient for me to say. You still have to make your own decision."

After saying that, Xie Lingxi started eating snacks and drinking tea.
