I don't want to be the favorite concubine of this palace anymore

Chapter 136 Personal Investigation

Li Rui looked at the queen and said in a deep voice: "I wonder what benefit the concubines in my house would get from murdering the queen?

Or does the Queen think I would be stupid enough to deliberately send you something poisonous and then let you sue me in front of the Emperor?"

The queen was stunned by the question. In fact, today's event was completely arranged by the prince, and the queen was unaware of it.

I just said it on impulse without thinking deeply about it.

Now that I think about it, Li Rui has always been a deep-minded person. How could he deliberately reveal his weakness for me to use against him?

Lianxin, the maid behind the queen, looked at Lianrui, who was standing aside with an uneasy expression, her eyes flickering. A few days ago, she accidentally saw Lianrui secretly adding something into the bottle of skin care products that the queen gave to Aunt Fang.

She knew that this must have been instigated by the prince, so she did not expose it. It turned out that it was for today's incident.

But it seems that this time I have hit a wall. His Royal Highness Prince Rui will probably continue to investigate, and then he will definitely push forward someone to take the blame...

At this time, a gentle voice came: "Your Majesty, I have also used the rejuvenating cream, and I feel that my skin has become better, and I don't feel any discomfort.

I don’t know if there is any misunderstanding about this matter?”

The emperor looked at the person who had spoken, and his expression softened.

"The Concubine Xian has been looking pretty good these days, so it seems like there's something fishy about this matter."

Another charming female voice also said: "Your Majesty, I have also used the pearl cream, and my skin has become much whiter. I don't feel any discomfort."

Tiansheng looked at the woman and said with a smile: "Since Concubine Xian and Concubine Xi have used it and nothing happened, it means that the skin cream is fine."

Emperor Tiansheng had a good impression of Concubine An. She was the sister that Dai Meng had recognized last time. She was said to be a good doctor. Rui'er seemed to care about her very much, which was rare.

The Empress and Concubine Li looked unhappy when they heard this. If the Emperor said so, wouldn't it mean that the two of them had deliberately made up stories and framed him?

An Muxi didn't know the virtuous concubine, but she knew that Concubine Xi was the Princess Rena from Western Xinjiang who wanted to marry Li Rui last time.

I didn't expect that she would actually stand up and speak for me. It seems that she loves me so much that she loves my family as well.

Li Rui said, "Father, I request to personally investigate this matter. It is despicable that someone would do such a thing to frame the people in our Rui Palace. I must clear the name of the Rui Palace."

The emperor thought about it for a moment, then nodded and agreed: "In that case, you will be responsible for investigating this matter. It's time to tidy up the harem."

An Muxi felt a little regretful. How come the matter ended without even giving her a chance to debate with the group?

The queen was immediately shocked. Something went wrong with the gift Li Rui gave her. In the end, the emperor didn't believe her and even played tricks on her? What does it mean to reorganize the harem? He said that she didn't manage the harem well!

Concubine Li and her personal maid behind her were a little uneasy, as she had always relied on the Queen to stay safe in the harem.

This time, the prince had someone tell her to cooperate with the acting. She put some medicine that could cause allergies in the rejuvenating cream.

In fact, it will disappear on its own after stopping use for a few days.

When Princess Wenhua was betrothed by the emperor to the leader of Western Frontier, she asked Li Rui to help her go to the emperor and ask for the cancellation of the marriage.

As it turned out, in the end, they requested an imperial decree and became a special envoy to personally escort Wenhua to the marriage.

She didn't like Li Rui in the first place, she had bullied him since childhood, and now she hated him even more. So when the prince said so, she agreed without hesitation.

Anyway, she couldn't expect Li Rui to be of any help to her, and she was tired of pretending for so many years.

From now on, I don’t have to pretend to be a loving mother anymore.

The prince felt it was a pity that the matter was revealed so easily.

However, if Li Rui went to investigate, he looked at Lian Rui and knew that he could not be implicated in this matter.

Thinking about the fact that he had promised Yin Qianqian to help her enter Prince Rui's Mansion, he felt a little annoyed. He must collect some interest from that woman today.

Yin Qianqian and Bai Yueli, who were sitting below, felt very sorry that they were unable to convict An Muxi!

Duke Ningguo and Bai Jingchen looked at An Muxi opposite them. The more they looked, the more they felt that this woman looked about 60% similar to Wu.

An Muxi told Qiu Shuang to pass on a message to Li Rui. She wanted to go and see for herself what was added to the two bottles of skin cream.

Maybe it can provide some clues for his investigation.

Li Rui received An Muxi's message and nodded to her. Yin Qianqian had been paying attention to Li Rui's movements and became extremely jealous when she saw him flirting with An Muxi.

Since An Muxi cannot be eliminated today, let's wait until she enters Prince Rui's Mansion.

After a while the banquet was over, the emperor and empress left, and the empress suggested that those who were interested could go to the imperial garden to see the lanterns.

Most of the young people chose to stay and see the lanterns. The lanterns in the palace were exquisitely made and grand, and could not be compared with those outside.

What's more, the prizes for guessing riddles are very valuable, so many people are eager to try.

It is said that there are two prizes this year, one is a black iron sword for men, and the other is a set of top-grade jade head jewelry.

However, An Muxi was not interested in watching the lanterns at the moment. Her grievances had not been cleared up yet, and she felt heavy-hearted, so how could she be in the mood to watch the lanterns?

When most people had left, Li Rui walked towards her.

"Let's go and see the lanterns."

An Muxi was startled. Weren't they going to investigate the poisoning incident? How did they end up watching the lanterns?

"Don't worry, I've already asked Jianying and the others to investigate. I have people in the palace, so there should be results soon."

When An Muxi heard this, she had no choice but to follow him out of the hall.

At this time, a young eunuch hurried over and accidentally bumped into Li Rui. Then he knelt down in panic and kowtowed to apologize: "I'm sorry, I was careless when I walked and bumped into Your Highness Prince Rui. Please forgive me."

Li Rui glanced coldly at the young eunuch on the ground and said, "Get lost!"

After the eunuch left in a rage, Li Rui stretched out his hand and opened it, revealing a ball of paper.

An Muxi was also a little curious. Was this what the little eunuch gave to Li Rui just now?

Li Rui opened it and saw a few words written on it: Lian Rui drugged.

He asked Jian Feng: "Is there a maid named Lian Rui in the palace?"

Jian Feng replied, "It seems that there is a maid named Lian Rui beside the queen."

"Go check this lotus core. Report immediately if you find any news."

Jian Feng also took the order and left.

Li Rui took An Muxi and continued walking towards the Imperial Garden.

On the way, Li Rui suddenly said: "Once this matter is resolved, I will go to the north. Maybe I can get rid of the poison when I come back from the north."

An Muxi didn't know what he meant by saying this suddenly, so she could only perfunctorily say, "Divine Doctor Gao told me that I hope I can get the miraculous medicine successfully this time."

"After I'm detoxified, do you still want to leave?"

An Muxi didn't expect Li Rui to ask directly. She felt a little uncomfortable. It seemed that Li Rui was going to let her go.

"Yes, I can support myself now. I have always longed for a free life, but I am still very grateful to the prince for taking care of me."

Li Rui seemed to have figured it out and actually chuckled.

"Okay, I'll let you out of the house."

The smile in the darkness was dim under the illumination of various lanterns, but it made An Muxi lose focus for a moment. This man is so damn handsome.

But I don't ask for eternity, just having it once is enough. He said in person that he would let her leave the house, and she felt relieved instantly.

"Let's go and guess the riddles! Win the sword back for the prince today!"
