Chapter 192 What did you put in the sachet last time
"What is Concubine Yu doing here?"
The emperor was quite surprised to hear Jinzhong say that Hailan had come to the Yangxin Palace. When Jinzhong entered, the emperor happened to see the sky outside and saw that it was time to turn over the cards.
"Empress Yu said that it's winter now and she has prepared ginseng soup for the emperor."
The emperor's lips curled up as he understood everything in Jinzhong's tone.
Hai Lan came to the emperor on her own initiative, whether it was to consolidate Ruyi's favor or for other reasons. In short, this woman who rarely slept with the emperor brought a sense of freshness to the emperor.
After a night, Hai Lan served the emperor who had woken up early.
After putting on her inner garments and the dragon robe, Hai Lan "accidentally" dropped the plum blossom sachet.
"I deserve to die."
Hailan pleaded guilty cautiously. The emperor spent a night with her and recalled all the good things she had done in the past. He held Hailan's hand without any concern.
The emperor did not notice the moment he touched Hailan, and Hailan subconsciously wanted to pull away.
"nothing."
Hailan lowered her eyebrows and said yes, then tied the sachet again. As a result, she accidentally dropped the sachet again, and the white sachet fell to the ground.
"Your Majesty, this..."
The emperor looked back at the white snow on the ground and didn't care much.
"It's just white dandelion. Nothing to worry about.
Jingse will probably come to the palace today. It’s better to hurry up.”
Hailan nodded again and prepared to continue dressing the emperor. Just when she was halfway through, she sneezed. Then she looked suspiciously at the white flowers scattered on the ground.
"Your Majesty, there is more than just white flower in the sachet."
The emperor was most afraid of dying from these things. When the emperor heard these words, his eyes changed rapidly.
"Your Majesty, Eunuch Li is here and said that the princess will soon..."
As soon as Jinzhong entered the inner hall, he saw Hailan kneeling on the ground to dress the emperor, and the emperor standing, staring at the white powder on the ground without saying a word. He was so scared that he only said half of his words.
"Ask Li Yu to come in."
After this incident, the emperor no longer wanted to see Jingse and prepared to ask Li Yu to ask Jingse to come back another day.
When Jinzhong invited Li Yushi, he quietly told him what happened inside.
"I don't know what it is, but it seems that the Emperor is unhappy."
Jinzhong tried to curry favor with Li Yu, but Li Yu hid his cunning eyes and lowered his head and spoke.
"understood."
"I feel relieved as long as my master is here."
Jinzhong flattered Li Yu and welcomed him in.
When Li Yu went to pay his respects to the emperor, he saw some powder. He knew what it was as soon as he smelled it. He pretended to be panicked.
"Your Majesty, why is there a love fragrance here?"
Hai Lan glanced at Li Yu calmly, and she was surprised that Li Yu recognized the aphrodisiac fragrance.
"Eunuch Li is indeed well-informed. Having served the emperor before, I can now recall that this is indeed the smell of the aphrodisiac."
The emperor learned that the sachet did not contain anything to poison him, but he could not accept that it was a love incense. It was hard for him to imagine wearing such a thing every day.
The emperor also remembered that Ruyi had come to look through his sachet a few days ago. At that time, Doctor Bao had not found any problem with the sachet. When the emperor thought of this, it was not difficult for him to think that Doctor Bao had been bribed.
Li Yu had been with the emperor for many years and could see that the emperor was suspicious. He picked up the sachet on the ground and asked the emperor.
"Your Majesty, this seems to be the work of Concubine Ling."
Hailan also leaned closer to take a look at the sachet.
“Your Majesty, it is indeed the work of Concubine Ling.
I have looked at the records of the Ministry of Internal Affairs these days and found that the Emperor favors Concubine Ling quite a lot. Concubine Ling is pregnant again.
It is true that Concubine Ling is the most suspicious, but for the sake of the emperor's reputation, it is better to ask Concubine Ling to come over for the sake of caution."
Hai Lan seemed to have no doubts about Yan Wan, but in fact she was pouring a basin of dirty water on Yan Wan's head.
"Your Majesty, I remember that the Empress also suspected that there was something wrong with the sachet a few days ago, but she didn't find out the reason."
Li Yu and Hai Lan cooperated very well, so well that Hai Lan even had doubts.
Hai Lan only said that Yan Wan was suspicious, and never mentioned that Ruyi had checked the sachet. She originally wanted the emperor to think of Ruyi himself, and then slowly guide the emperor to call Ruyi over, so that she could help Ruyi clear her name.
Unexpectedly, Li Yu spoke up to help.
"Go and ask the Queen and Concubine Ling to come over."
The emperor was full of doubts and sent someone to invite Yanwan and Ruyi over.
The emperor ordered Jinbao and Jinzhong to go out together, but Li Yu suddenly stopped Jinzhong.
"Your Majesty, I cannot leave right now. The princess is waiting for you. How about letting Jinzhong go and tell the princess first?"
Li Yu said this and looked at Hai Lan.
Hailan received Li Yu's signal and followed her Wufu Road:
"Wufu, please ask for Concubine Ling on behalf of Jinzhong."
Hailan and Li Yu transferred Jinzhong away from Yanwan in a few words and sent Sanbao to her, who would never betray any information to Yanwan.
Although Jinzhong was worried, he had no choice but to go to Jingse since things had come to this point.
This Wu Fu came to invite Yan Wan. After hearing that the emperor had invited him, Wu Fu held his head high, waiting for Yan Wan to ask him what the matter was.
Wu Fu had already thought of how to give Yan Wan a cold face. But Yan Wan never asked him. Facing the unknown danger, Yan Wan seemed quite happy.
Yan Wan walked slowly, and soon she saw Ru Yi. She quickly followed and patted Ru Yi's temple.
"May the Queen be well and safe."
Ruyi didn't want to see Yanwan, and turned away without wanting to reply to her.
Unexpectedly, as soon as her expression changed, Yan Wan stood up on her own and came to Ling Yunche.
"Eunuch Ling, have you given Li Xin what she wanted?
It took me a lot of effort to find those.”
Yanwan ignored Ruyi, which made Ruyi angry. Yanwan was still so close to Ling Yunche, and her words were about the secrets that they both knew.
Originally, Ruyi should have been even angrier, but she didn't, and even her previous anger disappeared.
However, Rong Pei, Ling Yunche's wife, couldn't help but want to find out the truth when she heard Li Xin, but was suppressed by Ruyi's eyes.
Ling Yunche was of course disdainful of Yan Wan's closeness, so he deliberately stepped back, exchanged glances with Ru Yi, and then politely said to Yan Wan:
"I've given all the things to Miss Li Xin. Thank you, Concubine Ling."
Yan Wan's eyes flickered over Ruyi for a few times, and as her mind turned, she smiled and said:
"It's good enough as long as you have used it, Eunuch Ling. If you need more, just come to me."
Ling Yunche said yes. While he was talking, the group had already arrived outside the Yangxin Palace.
Ruyi walked quickly in front of Yanwan, and Yanwan followed slowly. When she entered and saw Hailan, Ruyi felt inexplicably at ease.
Look at Hailan with a smile.
She thought Hailan would smile back at her, but she didn't. She just stood there. If the emperor wasn't watching, Hailan would have winked at Ruyi. But she couldn't.
Ruyi looked at Hailan and then at the emperor.
After not seeing the emperor for five months, Ruyi was worried about him and looked at him with tears in her eyes, but the emperor didn't even look at her.
Ruyi felt aggrieved and didn't understand why the emperor called her but then ignored her.
Then he thought of the past and got angry. He asked the emperor shyly.
"What did the emperor ask me to do?"
The emperor did not want to answer. He looked at Ruyi several times before saying:
"What did you put in the sachet last time?"
