Although Jing De wanted to keep the news that Wanyan Lie had fainted a secret, there were ears everywhere in the palace. Soon, the news reached the ears of the Empress and Concubine De. The two of them immediately rushed over and waited to see the results of the imperial physician's examination.
Five imperial physicians took turns to examine Wanyan Lie. The last one was the old imperial physician.
"His Majesty's illness is strange!" The old imperial physician squinted and examined for a long time. Then he raised his head and said, "His Majesty's ear seems to have been bitten by someone, and it is stained with blood. Someone must have attacked His Majesty. His Majesty just fainted because of the pain. Nothing serious."
Hearing that someone had attacked the Emperor and bitten Wanyan Lie's ear, Empress Li Bing immediately stood up and said, "Jing De, who assassinated His Majesty?"
In Li Bing's mouth, it turned into an assassination.
"This …" Wanyan Lie did not wake up. Jing De did not know how to answer Li Bing's question. Seeing Jing De cover up like this, Li Bing immediately put on the posture of the Empress and said, "Jing De, what is going on? Why did His Majesty become like this? If you don't tell me, are you an accomplice of the assassin? "
The hat of an assassin's "accomplice" was put on Jing De's head, making him shudder and immediately kneel down. "Replying to niangniang, it's imperial gui fei niangniang!" Gritting his teeth, Jing De pulled out Yue Lanzhi, who had been dead for a long time, as a scapegoat.
"Imperial Noble Consort Yue?" Hearing this name, Li Bing gritted her teeth. This woman monopolized Wanyan Lie and made her harem useless. She became a joke among the women in the harem. How could she tolerate this? This time, she just caught Yue Lanzhi's weakness. She must torture Yue Lanzhi.
"Where is she?" Lin Kexin came in and did not see Yue Lanzhi. This was a good thing. Yue Lanzhi attacked the Emperor. What a big crime! The Empress seemed to want to make a fuss about this matter. She just needed to watch the show!
"Escaped!" Jing De gritted his teeth again. Now Wanyan Lie was not awake and no one supported him. Besides, even if the Emperor woke up, there was no way to explain this matter. They could only blame it on Yue Lanzhi.
"Escaped?" Hearing this, Li Bing became arrogant. "Guards, seal the palace for me and find the assassin Yue Lanzhi! If he resists, kill him without mercy! "
Although Li Bing was not favored, she was the Empress and the mistress of the harem. Moreover, her son was the Crown Prince, the future monarch, so no one dared to disrespect her. Immediately, the entire Imperial Palace was in chaos.
"What's going on?" Empress Dowager Dongfang Lan, who was already asleep, was woken up by the commotion outside. She hurriedly called Aunt Qing over to ask about the situation.
"Miss, His Majesty was attacked by Noble Consort Yue and is now unconscious."
"Is that so?" Dongfang Lan was worried about Wanyan Lie's injury and wanted to go to the Changqiu Palace to see him, but Madam Qing stopped her. "Miss, the Empress and Concubine De are waiting on you! You see, it's the middle of the night, they're enough. Don't worry, the imperial physician said that His Majesty just fainted and will be fine. This servant will go over for you! "
Madam Qing's heart ached for Dongfang Lan. It was a cold winter night and Jinxuan Palace was far from Changqiu Palace. At her age, it would be bad if Dongfang Lan caught a cold. Dongfang Lan knew how considerate Aunt Qing was, so she quickly gave her a few instructions and asked her to go to the Eternal Autumn Palace to check on the situation.
When Madam Qing arrived, Wanyan Lie was still unconscious. Madam Qing came with the Empress Dowager's decree. Firstly, she wanted the imperial physician to cure the Emperor, and secondly, she wanted the Empress to take control of the situation.
"This servant will abide by the Empress Dowager's decree." With Dongfang Lan's decree, Li Bing was able to do things much more easily. Madam Qing gave her a few more instructions and was about to leave when she saw a young girl dressed in white in the shadows. Seeing that the young girl looked familiar, Li Bing walked over and almost cried out in surprise.
"Who are you?"
"I don't know anything … I really don't know anything …" The young girl was scared silly. First, it was Yue Lanzhi's tragic death, then the mother parasite burrowed into Wanyan Lie's brain. Both of these events were shocking and extremely terrifying.
After experiencing these events in one night, the young girl was scared silly, especially when she recalled how the meaty worm had burrowed into Wanyan Lie's brain. She couldn't help but want to vomit.
Madam Qing frowned when she heard the young girl's words. Why would she meet someone who looked like Princess Mingyue here? Who was this girl? Why was she here?
"Which palace maid are you from? Come, don't be afraid! "Madam Qing pulled the young girl to stand in front of everyone. When they saw the young girl's appearance, Li Bing and Lin Kexin were stunned. Wasn't this a replica of Wanyan Mingyue? What was going on?
"I don't know anything … They told me to be an imperial concubine … I don't know anything else …" The young girl looked at the murderous gazes of those people and cried while shaking her head.
Imperial concubine? The young girl's words made everyone dizzy. Just as Li Bing was about to speak, Jing De had already stepped forward and stabbed the young girl's abdomen, "Your Majesty, Jing De has avenged you!"
"Stop him!" Li Bing hurriedly ordered people to take Jing De down, but unexpectedly, the young girl fell to the ground, no longer breathing.
"Why did you kill her!" Not getting the answer he wanted, Li Bing was a little angry. Jing De was neither servile nor overbearing, "Replying to Your Majesty, it was she and the imperial concubine who attacked Your Majesty, that's why Your Majesty is unconscious. Just now, I was so busy that I didn't find her. I didn't expect her to be hiding here. She's really bold. "
Although Jing De's words were full of loopholes, the young girl had already been killed by him, so there was no evidence. Li Bing couldn't do anything to Jing De.
After all, Jing De had served Wanyan Lie for so many years and was the emperor's confidant. If she arrested Jing De and punished him because of an ambiguous suspicion, when Wanyan Lie woke up, she would be the first one to suffer. Therefore, although there were doubts in her heart, Li Bing forcibly suppressed them.
Aunt Qing also had doubts in her heart. But after all, she had stayed in the imperial palace for many years and experienced great storms, so naturally, she wouldn't show it on the surface. After bowing to the empress, Concubine De, Aunt Qing left the Changqiu Palace.
In the palace, the news that Wanyan Lie was assassinated by the imperial concubine was soon sent to the Southern Lin Palace. Nalan Xin held the news and stood outside Tingsong Building, not knowing whether to enter or retreat.
Go in. Today was Feng Cang's big day. Logically speaking, a moment of spring night was worth a thousand gold. If he rashly rushed in and disturbed the prince's happy life, he would definitely be skinned by Feng Cang. But the news that Wanyan Lie was in trouble was very shocking. If he didn't say it and delayed the prince's business, wouldn't that be bad?
