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

Xie Lingxi also vaguely smelled the scent of danger, but she was not afraid, because in addition to feeling the Fifth Prince's resistance, she also saw fear in the Fifth Prince's eyes.

The Fifth Prince really knew what was going on, but years of affection had blinded his eyes.

?In other words, in the absence of any evidence, the Fifth Prince could only deceive himself.

But the truth is the truth. Xie Lingxi stopped probing, her face became solemn, and she cruelly revealed the truth.

"Your Highness, Lipin was killed by Shunpin."

"You bullshit!"

The fifth prince almost blurted it out.

But his trembling voice revealed his emotions at the moment. He believed it! Or rather, he had expected it!

But Xie Lingxi's words proved his guess.

Pursing her lips, Xie Lingxi stared straight at the Fifth Prince's face and spoke word by word.

"What I said is true. Lipin did die of dystocia, but it was Shunpin who caused Lipin's dystocia. Shunpin deliberately bribed the nanny who took care of the baby and put a lot of effort into Lipin's three meals a day."

"It looks like a carefully prepared meal to nourish the fetus, but in fact, the nutrition is too rich. When the baby is due, it will be too big and cause a difficult birth."

"The Fifth Prince must have investigated the cause of Lipin's difficult labor. He knows that there are many different opinions in the harem, but there is no definitive answer. In fact, it was because of the excessive nutrition and the over-large fetus that caused the difficult labor."

After a pause, looking at the Fifth Prince's pale face, Xie Lingxi did not waver at all, and her tone remained steady.

"Shunpin has been preparing for so long that no one would notice it, so she had done enough preparation before Lipin gave birth. Before Lipin gave birth, many people said that Lipin was in poor health and had a serious illness, and they were afraid that the birth would not go smoothly."

"On the day of delivery, the midwife and the imperial physician all had different opinions. Some said that there was heavy bleeding, while others said that the medicine that Lipin drank was incompatible with the abortion-promoting medicine. In the chaos, the real cause of the difficult delivery was covered up."

"You're talking nonsense! Impossible! Impossible!"

The Fifth Prince staggered back two steps, staring at Xie Lingxi as if he was an enemy, but it was also like he was looking at another person through Xie Lingxi.

"If what you said is true, Shunpin was just a noble lady back then. How could she have such great power?"

"It's fine to bribe the pregnant nanny, but you just said that the midwife and the imperial physician also have different stories. Maybe what they said is true? Shunpin was just a noble lady at the beginning. What ability did she have..."

"That's because there's someone behind her!"

Xie Lingxi interrupted the Fifth Prince and cut off his last straw.

There was a cold gleam in her eyes.

"Shunpin is just an executioner. The real mastermind behind the scenes is someone else, the Imperial Concubine Wan who was Concubine Wan back then!"

silence--

Spreading in the gazebo.

Outside the pavilion, Xie Zhibai and the guards standing by the lake could only see that Xie Lingxi and the Fifth Prince seemed to be arguing, but not quite.

After all, the Fifth Prince retreated again and again, as if he was angry and afraid, while Xie Lingxi stood firmly in place.

The confrontation, or rather the confrontation, between the two seemed like Xie Lingxi had the upper hand, while the Fifth Prince seemed to be at a disadvantage.

In the end what happened?

Xie Zhibai was a little nervous, just like Si Ling who was lying on the wall and peeking, both were eager to make a move.

But since Xie Lingxi didn't say anything, they didn't dare to go over.

Xie Lingxi looked at the Fifth Prince's pale face, as if he had suffered a severe blow, and he was really pitiful.

But the truth has been revealed, and the Fifth Prince has no way to escape. Anyone else who has recognized the thief as their mother for so many years would probably not be able to bear it like the Fifth Prince. Hadn't they also been fooled by their enemies in their previous life?

Come to think of it, she and the Fifth Prince actually had some sympathy for each other. Perhaps because of this reason, Xie Lingxi was not afraid when facing the Fifth Prince, because she could empathize with him.

Xie Lingxi sighed, sat down directly, and her tone became much softer, her words were full of comfort.

"Your Highness, I know that this truth is hard for you to accept, but Lipin is your biological mother after all. I have not told anyone about this matter except you, Your Highness. I think Your Highness has the right to know the truth."

"But sometimes the truth is too heavy and should be taken to the grave with the deceased. But the murderer is allowed to go unpunished and even tosses the victim's children... As an insider, I feel guilty."

After a pause, Xie Lingxi looked slightly apologetic.

"I struggled in my heart. I admit that this time I told Your Highness the truth. In addition to my conscience, I also had my own selfish motives. But what I said was true. Your Highness has done me a favor, so I can only tell you the truth."

"I also know that the Fifth Prince and the Eighth Prince have a deep relationship, and you were raised by Shunpin. If you choose to forgive, I can understand... If the Fifth Prince still wants to listen, then sit down. I will tell Your Highness all the details I know."

After a moment's silence, Xie Lingxi said softly.

"If Your Highness doesn't want to listen, you can leave now. I will pretend that Your Highness has never been here. I can also forget everything that happened today and will never mention it to anyone again."

"However, the successful cancellation of the engagement between our Xie family and the Xiao family was due to your kindness. Our Xie family, including me, owes your Highness a favor. If your Highness needs us in the future, the Xie family and I will definitely help you!"

The Fifth Prince stood there in a daze, as if he had not heard Xie Lingxi's words, immersed in the cruel truth.

Xie Lingxi didn't have the heart to say anything more, so she pursed her lips, quietly accompanied and waited.

……

"Master Xie, what did Miss Xie say to my prince? Did they have a quarrel?"

Across the lake, Xie Zhibai and the Fifth Prince's guards were unsure of the situation in the pavilion and could only guess based on what they saw, but the situation seemed a little complicated.

The situation was tense just now. Although it didn't seem like a fight was about to break out, it wasn't much better either.

But not long after, the two seemed to calm down again. Miss Xie became a lot gentler, but the Fifth Prince seemed to have suffered a major blow. He stood there staggering. The Fifth Prince's guards were really afraid that His Highness would fall down.

Xie Zhibai couldn't answer the guard's question, so he could only speak in a tense voice: "Your Highness and my sister haven't called anyone, and it doesn't look like a fight will start. Just wait."

Si Ling, who was lying on the wall, was the most nervous. What on earth did Miss Xie say to cause such a big reaction from the Fifth Prince? He looked as if he had lost his temper. The worst thing was Miss Xie's reaction -

It was exactly like the story in the book where the rich lady felt sorry for the poor man! Miss Xie was sympathizing with the fifth prince!

Something is wrong!

……

"Ha ha……"

The fifth prince lowered his head and suddenly chuckled, but his voice was hoarse, especially at this time, it was really scary. However, he still sat down as Xie Lingxi asked.

Xie Lingxi breathed a sigh of relief. Was he willing to hear the truth and not avoid it?
