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

After saying this, Lipin squatted down, picked up a wooden stick, dug a hole under the tree, quickly buried the jade gourd in it, and left reluctantly but happily.

End of memories——

Xie Lingxi looked at the Fifth Prince's slightly moved expression and couldn't help but sigh in her heart.

As a mother, she really cares about her children.

She couldn't help but explain.

"The reason why Lipin buried the white jade gourd in the ground instead of taking it away directly was because she believed that placing it in a temple or burying it under a bodhi tree would make the amulet more spiritual."

"But the more important reason is that although Lipin was favored, she was still only a concubine, so she couldn't set up a Buddhist temple in her residence, so she was simply buried under the Bodhi tree."

"It won't be too late to take it out after you are born. But I didn't expect that after burying it, there would be no chance to dig it out. I didn't expect that it would be dug out by a passerby like me..."

The fifth prince looked up at Xie Lingxi.

"Miss Xie, are you really not kidding me? You and I are not related in any way. Even if my mother came to me in a dream, she should have sent it to someone close to her, whether it was me or my father. Why did she have to send it to you?"

Xie Lingxi smiled bitterly, as if she really had no idea.

"I don't know either. I can only say that this may all be arranged by God, or maybe this jade gourd is indeed spiritual."

"After all, Lipin was murdered. Who knows if the murderer performed any ritual to seal and suppress her after her death? Of course, these are all my guesses. Fifth Prince, you don't have to believe them. But I really dug up this jade gourd by accident."

Xie Lingxi looked calmly into the eyes of the Fifth Prince and said sincerely.

"Come to think of it, when I went to Yunling Temple that day, I originally wanted to take a walk, and suddenly I saw the Bodhi tree. Originally, I didn't intend to go under the tree."

"But suddenly, it was as if something was guiding me and urging me. I couldn't explain the feeling, but before I knew it, I was under the Bodhi tree, and then I started digging for no apparent reason."

"By the time I realized what was happening, I had already dug up the jade gourd. I didn't think too much about it at the time. Since I had dug it up, I took it and brought the jade gourd back home. Then I started dreaming."

Xie Lingxi sighed, stared at the small gourd in the fifth prince's hand, and said helplessly.

"Now that I think about it, all of this must have been the intention of Concubine Li. She was waiting for the destined person to bring out the gourd. At the same time, she also wanted to reveal the cause of her death. This might have been Concubine Li's last wish."

"As for the dream that appeared to me, it should be for me to act as a middleman and tell His Highness how to fulfill Lipin's wish. Maybe there must be a cause and effect in the dark."

"As luck would have it, the wedding between our Xie family and the Xiao family went wrong on the wedding day, so the marriage agreement was not fulfilled. The reason why I met the Fifth Prince was probably because of Concubine Li's arrangement. Otherwise, we would not have had any intersection."

Xie Lingxi analyzed it very seriously.

"Our Xie family wants to break off the engagement with the Xiao family, but it's not easy to get away without making a big fuss. And if I didn't have this jade gourd, I wouldn't have thought of asking the Fifth Prince for help. If I didn't have Concubine Li's dream, I wouldn't have known the cause of death."

"If I didn't know the cause of death and asked the Fifth Prince for help in exchange for this, I don't think the Fifth Prince would have helped me. Without these causes, we wouldn't have met here today, and I wouldn't have been able to hand over this jade gourd to the Fifth Prince."

Xie Lingxi stared at the Fifth Prince's face, feeling somewhat emotional.

"Since the jade gourd is the amulet that Lipin left for the Fifth Prince, returning it to the Fifth Prince now is just returning it to its original owner. Telling the truth about the past to His Highness is perhaps Lipin's last wish."

Xie Lingxi's words sounded mysterious, but it is undeniable that according to this logic, it is indeed very likely.

After all, before this, neither the Xie family nor Xie Lingxi himself had ever had any intersection with the Fifth Prince.

If it weren't for this so-called dream, Xie Lingxi would not have had the opportunity to know these past events, unless she was really good at making up stories and dared to fabricate lies about the causes of death of concubines in the harem to deceive the Fifth Prince.

But the risks of doing so are too great.

Even if Xie Lingxi is bold enough to start this, he must be able to finish it.

Otherwise, having just offended the Third Prince, he is about to offend the Fifth Prince. This is not just looking for trouble, but simply being tired of living, and bringing disaster to himself and the Xie family.

So, it doesn't make sense logically.

It was precisely because the Fifth Prince could not understand why Xie Lingxi would tell such a lie that he patiently listened to what Xie Lingxi had to say about the dream.

Otherwise, given the Fifth Prince's character, he would not have let Xie Lingxi finish her words and would have severely punished her.

But even if Xie Lingxi finished speaking,

That sounds reasonable.

But the premise of these words as truth is that ghosts and gods really do exist in this world.

Otherwise, the so-called dream and Lipin's last wish are all nonsense!

The fifth prince suddenly found it ridiculous.

The truth might be like this, but whether Xie Lingxi exaggerated or distorted the truth, only Xie Lingxi herself knew.

This gourd does seem to be a piece of evidence, but who knows if it was something Xie Lingxi made up herself?

After all, what she said had no strong witnesses or physical evidence other than herself. Without evidence, she can naturally say whatever she wants.

It was a fact that Concubine Li died of dystocia, and everyone in the harem knew it, but there were many different opinions about the cause of the dystocia.

The fifth prince did have doubts about his mother's death.

But not everyone can make him believe it just because they come to him and say something in a dream.

Otherwise, all these years of being a prince would have been in vain.

The Fifth Prince scanned Xie Lingxi's face with a scrutinizing gaze and gradually calmed down, but he still held the small jade gourd tightly in his hand.

He gritted his teeth and asked, "Miss Xie, do you know how ridiculous what you just said is? If someone didn't know, they would think you made up a strange story to fool people."

Xie Lingxi was helpless, her expression remained calm, and her tone became more sincere.

"Your Highness, I know that no one will believe me easily if I say this, but I can't provide any more evidence. After all, this is a long-standing story. How can I, a woman from outside the palace, know what happened inside the palace walls?"

"I would like to investigate thoroughly, find witnesses and evidence, and present them to the Fifth Prince, so as to show my sincerity, but I really can't do it... In addition, if the cause of Lipin's death was really deliberately planned, I think it is urgent to let the Fifth Prince know the truth immediately. What I can do is to tell the Fifth Prince everything I know. As for whether he believes it or not... it depends on your Highness's choice."

Seeing the Fifth Prince's face gradually darkening, Xie Lingxi felt a little nervous.
