The Flirtatious Prince and His Savage Concubine

The Emperor of Nanzheng was furious, and Queen Gu did not dare to say anything. She could only watch as the nanny sent by the Emperor of Nanzheng searched Lu Lingxi's body.

Unexpectedly, a moment later, the nanny really found a paper bag from Lu Lingxi.

Lu Lingxi was horrified and thought to himself, could it be that Nanny Li had practiced this? Even in such a panic just now, she succeeded in hiding the dirty things on her body?

Seeing Lu Lingxi's fear, Nan Wangyu patted the back of her hand gently and gave her a soothing look.

Lu Lingxi felt relieved, thinking that as long as he had a way to solve it, it would be good. With him around, he could take it easy.

Queen Gu was overjoyed to find that the drug powder was really found on Lu Lingxi. She looked at Li Ma with approval, thinking that although Li Ma was old and in poor health, she was still efficient in her work.

Before the Emperor of Nanzheng could take a closer look at what the powder was, Empress Gu said, "Your Majesty, this is the ironclad evidence that the Crown Princess framed Su Liangyuan. You cannot protect her when the evidence is so strong. She is so jealous and vicious that she is unfit to be the Crown Prince's wife. You should divorce her immediately for Yu'er. Send her to Qingjing Temple and let her live out her remaining years in seclusion to forgive her for framing so many women."

Emperor Nanzheng frowned and looked at Lu Lingxi: "What's your explanation, Crown Princess?"

Lu Lingxi thought: My explanation? I don't know. If I say this is not mine, do you believe me? Then he looked at Nan Wangyu, expecting him to explain for him.

Nan Wangyu smiled at Lu Lingxi and looked back at the queen: "The imperial physician hasn't even examined it yet, how can mother conclude that the powder on Lingxi's body is a drug or poison? When did mother become so proficient in medical knowledge that she can tell what this white powder is at a glance. Hmm?"

The Southern Emperor saw that there was a ready-made imperial physician behind Queen Gu, so he waved to him and said, "Come and take a look at what the white powder in this paper bag is."

The imperial physician stepped forward as instructed, took the paper bag from Emperor Nan Zheng's hand tremblingly, examined it carefully, and finally stretched out his index finger, dipped a little and put it into his mouth.

Before Empress Gu could remind the imperial physician, the imperial physician had already respectfully reported to Emperor Nan Zheng: "Your Majesty, this white powder is not a drug, nor is it any other medicine. It is just white sugar."

Emperor Nan Zheng was puzzled: "White sugar?"

The Imperial Household Steward Sun, who was standing behind him, heard the Imperial Physician say that the powder was white sugar, so he stepped forward, dipped his index finger in it, put it in his mouth, tasted it carefully, and replied, "Your Majesty, this is indeed white sugar."

Lu Lingxi asked Nan Wangyu in a low voice: "Did you just put that on me?"

Nan Wangyu didn't answer, but just nodded, and Lu Lingxi understood.

Before the Emperor of Nanzheng could ask, Lu Lingxi had already explained: "Father, my daughter-in-law likes to eat sweet things on weekdays. She was afraid that the cakes at today's banquet would not be sweet enough, so she brought some white sugar with her, hoping to improve the taste. Is this not against any rules?"

Seeing that Lu Lingxi was not involved in this matter, Emperor Nan Zheng relaxed a lot and replied good-temperedly: "I haven't broken any rules. It's just that no one has ever carried white sugar on their body like this before." As he said that, he shook the small paper bag in his hand at her.

Queen Gu still didn't believe that only white sugar could be found on Lu Lingxi, so she said to the Emperor of Nanzheng: "Your Majesty, I think the medicine package must have been replaced. Who knows where it is. We should send someone to search it thoroughly."

Emperor Nanzheng thought about the cause and effect carefully, and realized that today's drama was another big play by his good queen to frame the Crown Princess. Did she want to immediately break up the marriage between the Crown Prince and the Zhenguo Marquis's Mansion? I want to see what I can find out today, so I sneered and said to Queen Gu: "Okay! As you say, search everyone in this palace. Including you and the people you brought with you."

Queen Gu: "Your Majesty, what do you mean by this?"

The Southern Emperor didn't bother to reply to her. He waved his hand and ordered his men: "Search!"

Just now, everyone in the palace cooperated with the search, including Queen Gu. Only Nanny Li had been sitting on the ground. The searching nanny said in a routine tone, "Please stand up, Nanny Li, and cooperate with the search."

Li Ma: "I'm so sorry, the Crown Princess just kicked me in the leg and I can't get up now."

The search nanny looked at the Emperor Nan Zheng, who said mercilessly: "Just search the spot."

The nanny who searched Li Ma's body found nothing. Li Ma was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but the nanny on her right was bigger and stronger, so she lifted her up by her right hand. Then she found a paper bag under her buttocks. She immediately picked it up and reported to the Emperor of Nan Zheng: "Your Majesty, there is also a paper bag under Li Ma's body."

Emperor Nan Zheng said to the imperial physician, "Go and see what's in the paper bag."

Then he praised the maid who had brought Nanny Li up, saying, "You are very careful. Remember to go to Steward Sun to claim your reward after you are done."

The imperial physician's examination was also very efficient. As soon as the Emperor Nan Zheng finished praising the nanny, he replied tremblingly: "Your Majesty, this packet... this packet is the aphrodisiac powder." After saying this, he wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and secretly glanced at Queen Gu.

Steward Sun took the paper package and carefully handed it to Emperor Nan Zheng. He only took a glance at it and asked Steward Sun to put it away. Then he asked Madam Li, "Madam Li, how do you explain this package of traction powder?"

Li Ma immediately got up, changed from sitting to kneeling, and explained in a panic: "Old slave... Old slave doesn't know how this medicine bag got under me. Maybe it fell from... from someone during the argument just now, and it happened to fall under me." She originally wanted to say that it fell from the Crown Princess, but she felt it was inappropriate. When she said the word "who", she turned her head and looked at Lu Lingxi, and everyone understood what she meant.

Emperor Nan Zheng knew that with her words, she would start to accuse Lu Lingxi again, and then there would be endless suspicion and tug-of-war without any concrete evidence. After closing his eyes, he said expressionlessly: "I think you are not unaware of the origin of this package of drugs, you are old and have a bad memory. Steward Sun, take her away and help her recall it well."

The Emperor of Nanzheng had a general idea of ​​what happened today. He didn't want to let them argue in front of all the officials and make a fool of themselves. He directly ordered: "Take Sun away as well. Help her to recall how she ran from the Imperial Garden to the Changning Palace. Take the man on the ground down and examine him carefully."

Then he looked at Queen Gu coldly and said, "The Queen is hosting a banquet in the palace today, and you are the host. Why don't you go back and reflect on yourself after such a big mess? Which link is the problem? You don't need to worry about the investigation."

Finally, looking at Nan Wangyu, she glared at him with some resentment, blaming him for not reporting the matter even though he knew about it in advance, causing him to bring all the ministers here to embarrass himself. When she spoke to him, her tone was also a bit bad: "Crown Prince, the Crown Princess is tired after this experience, take her back to the Crown Prince's Mansion. Also, take everyone else in the Crown Prince's Mansion, except for Sun. Don't cause any more trouble."

After Nan Wangyu left with Lu Lingxi and others, all the ministers and ladies who had attended the banquet in the palace also dispersed and returned home.
