Evil Girl Reborn: The Eldest Princess, She Takes Manchurian Civil and Military Affairs

Chapter 43
Early the next morning, sitting under the window with a book full of strange skills and obscenities, I flipped through it page after page.

Gradually, I heard a commotion, and I lazily raised my eyelids to look outside, only to see the patchwork layout in the small garden outside the study.

"What's going on outside?"

Lu Bo bowed slightly and walked in, "Back to the princess, people from Qingning Palace said that the princess was poisoned. This matter is serious and the palace is already being searched."

Yiman raised his eyebrows, "If you don't have any evidence, just search the palace, who will you find?"

"Guo Cairen, someone saw early spring having contact with Aunt Wang from Yutangdian two days ago. Yutangdian is making a fuss right now."

It seems that regardless of whether Guo Cairen is involved in this matter or not, Qingning Palace is ready to pull Guo Cairen down.But there was the Guo family behind Guo Cairen. If the Qingning Palace wanted to use his poisoning to convict him, would the emperor and the Guo family agree?

The flying geese left traces, and after a day and night of tracking, neither the Queen nor Aunt Gao managed to catch Concubine De's pigtails.Since Concubine De was responsible for Bai Renyi, she must have taken action. How could she not find any clues? This matter is really strange.

It is inconvenient for Yiman to ask about the plans and disposal of Qingning Palace.But Yiman didn't intend to let go. Since Bai Renyi dared to do it, he had to cut the grass and root it out.

"Did you let the imperial doctor see it in early spring?"

"I watched it last night and was severely irritated. I quietly asked a familiar doctor to give me an injection. I still feel unconscious this morning, but I have calmed down and stopped going crazy. Now I will sit on the ground and just care. Sitting in a daze."

Only the confessions from the insiders of Qingsi Palace are far from enough. At least the confessions of the poisoners must be added before the attack can occur and more things will be involved.

Yiman closed the book suddenly and raised his finger.Lu Bo carefully took two steps forward and bent down. After listening to the instructions, he quickly glanced around and responded in a low voice.

Song Guo and Ji Lan came in one after the other, Ji Lan lowered his head behind, with an ugly expression, as if he was choked by something.

Before he could speak, he heard a muffled sound, and Ji Lan lowered his head and knelt down abruptly on the ground.

"What's going on here?"

Seeing that Ji Lan didn't speak, Song Guo had no choice but to say, "Princess Hui, it's spreading all over the palace now."

"It's okay to say it straight."

"Yes, everyone is saying that you are arrogant because of your favor. The poisoning is a lie. It was for Ji Lan to clean up the father-in-law of Shangshi Bureau."

It turns out that Concubine De planned to put the cause and effect here.The reason why Ji Lan had been bullied for a long time was because Eunuch Cao, the steward of the Shang Food Bureau, wanted to have a rivalry with her, but Ji Lan was unwilling to do so, which led to disaster.As soon as Ji Lan entered the Qingsi Palace, she was one of the most famous maids in the palace, and she was someone whom the princess valued at first glance.

Yiman had just received the title not long ago, and she was the only princess in the palace. Apart from the fact that there were no tangible benefits for her, the title sounded good.In addition, all the informants in the palace were tortured yesterday, which shocked the harem. She could not afford to be arrogant because of her favor.

Concubine De's move was not only to ruin Yiman's reputation, but also to reduce the murder of the legitimate princess to the level of a scandal among the palace people, so that the queen could not make a big fuss, and use the reputation of the eldest princess to contain her. Queen.After all, if the eldest maid of the Qingsi Palace confronts the eunuch publicly, it will definitely affect the reputation of the eldest princess.

It's just a princess pretending to be poisoned for a court lady. Does anyone in the palace really believe it?

Before Yiman could ask the doubts in his heart, he saw Ji Lan kowtow a few times, straighten up, his eyes were red, "Princess, it is the slave who has ruined the princess' reputation. I will ask you to leave the Qing Dynasty now." Si Dian.”

Yiman raised his hand, and Song Guo immediately pulled Ji Lan's arm by his side, but he couldn't pull it up with all his strength, so he could only look at Yiman.

Yiman smiled lightly and shook his head, "Ji Lan, you are not wrong in this matter. What is wrong is the person who has bad intentions and covets you, so you don't have to think too much. As for my reputation, I don't care. Isn’t it worth a few copper coins? With a good reputation like the Lady of the Chaste Archway, isn’t it still limited to a small space, like sitting in a prison? Since I let you enter the Qingsi Palace, don’t have any worries and just concentrate on completing the errands I asked. ,do you understand?"

Ji Lan stared at the eldest princess's calm eyes with sparkling eyes as she listened to these words.Suddenly, he realized that his vision had gone too far, and he lowered his head suddenly, tears falling on the back of his hands.

Ji Lan kowtowed violently, "I am willing to do anything for the princess."

Dazed for a moment, looking at the resolute look in Ji Lan's downcast eyes, he clutched the book in his hand.

Looking at Song Guo, who was pouting and wiping away his tears, Yiman cleared his throat, "How could the palace believe that I pretended to be poisoned because a court lady framed the manager of Shangshi Bureau? What's Qingning Palace's reaction?"

Song Guo thought about their words for a while, "I heard from those little palace maids that it's because Ji Lan holds your handle, so the princess has to help her. The Queen has ordered several people to be dealt with, but she still can't stop her." Stop the sound of the wind.”

handle?

What excuse would make a princess subject to a court lady?
Yiman closed his eyes and looked at what he had done since entering the palace, and suddenly thought of another intersection with Penglai Palace—hands-on settlement of Yanhong's matter.Back then, he was helpless, but when he heard that he was about to be killed, he entered the court, and immediately dealt with Yan Hong.

The people in the palace might not be able to see anything, even if Bai Renyi had a guess, there would be no proof, but Concubine De has been in the palace for so many years, so she must be able to piece it together by listening to the cause and effect.

Could it be that the 'handle' in Ji Lan's hands that the palace people said was something he could do by himself.Although Ji Lan didn't know, anything done would definitely leave traces. If De Fei really wanted to find out, she could still forge it even if she couldn't.

The poisoning matter cannot be delayed any longer. Bai Renyi must be trampled to death with complete evidence and quickly, so as to catch Concubine De off guard and prevent her from getting any evidence about herself.

"Over at Zichen Palace, does Father know that I have been poisoned?"

Song Guo nodded, "The emperor was originally furious that someone in the palace was poisoned. But when he heard that the queen was already investigating, he asked a few questions and returned to the Zichen Palace."

Presumably the emperor saw that his life was not in danger, and guessed from the queen's mouth that it was a harem fight, so he didn't care.

Yiman casually picked up the roster under the book and tapped it with his knuckles a few times.

Afternoon
"Ji Lan, go and see if the things I asked Lu Bo to prepare are ready?"

"Yes."

Yiman opened the page of the roster that said early spring again, and pressed it hard to make the crease more obvious. Even if it is closed, a seam can still be seen.

After a while, Lu Bo lifted his hem and walked into the study with a statement in his hand, "Princess, please have a look."

Yiman took a look at it, folded it and put it on the roster, "Lu Bo, arrange a full guard of honor, go to Qingning Palace, and say that I have found out who poisoned it."

"Yes, slaves will prepare now."

It seemed that they had been prepared for a long time, but in just a moment of burning incense, the palace attendants of Qingsi Palace were standing outside the palace waiting for them, each performing their duties.

Yiman put his hand on Ji Lan's arm, and Song Guo held a delicate tray with a roster and other evidence on it.Behind him, Lu Bo held the fly whisk and led hundreds of palace servants to follow Yi Man.

"Eunuch Lu just said that if the wind is released, now everyone knows that you are going to Qingning Palace to sue the person who poisoned you."
