Marrying a wife and a concubine together? Wouldn't it be better to divorce and become the queen
Chapter 73: Framed and brought down Di Manli
Soon someone invited Di Manli over.
"My lord, are you looking for me?"
When Xie Yan sent someone to invite Di Manli, he did not say what the matter was, and he also forbade anyone to leak what Xi Lingxuan was investigating.
Therefore, when Di Manli heard that the King of Chu sent someone to ask her to go to Xilingxuan, she was extremely unwilling.
Xilingxuan is the courtyard of this concubine. What good can come from Xie Yan asking her to go there?
She glanced at the people in the room.
Feng Shuyao's face was as pale as snow, and she leaned in the arms of King Chu with a weak body. Seeing her like this, Di Manli became angry.
Xie Yan asked, "Did you give this ginseng to Shu Yao?"
Knowing that the ginseng from the south had been used up, Di Manli said:
"It was given by me. My sister has been taking medicine to recuperate. I had this thing in my hand, so I asked someone to give it to her."
Di Manli sneered in her heart.
Feng Shuyao is indeed a country girl who has never seen the world. She even uses such a small ginseng. She must be secretly happy in her heart that she can eat such a delicious thing.
After Xie Yan heard her admit it, his voice suddenly turned cold:
"Doctor Bai found poison in the ginseng you sent. Di Manli, you are so brave to poison Shu Yao in this way!"
Xie Yan suddenly got angry, and Di Manli's inner laughter was interrupted. She widened her eyes:
"Your Majesty, what did you say? How can ginseng be poisonous?"
Xie Yan let go of Feng Shuyao and walked towards her, with the intimidating aura from his body heading towards Di Manli.
"Di Manli, Fairy Li from Baihua Valley said that Shu Yao's condition has worsened and someone is secretly tampering with her. Doctor Bai found that the ginseng you sent was poisonous. How do you plan to argue?"
Di Manli was shocked. Yingchun had poured the Jiutian Powder on the casserole that Feng Shuyao used to boil medicine. How could she possibly find poison in the ginseng?
"Your Highness, you are just talking nonsense. You said I poisoned Feng Shuyao. What kind of poison did I use? Do you have any evidence?"
Bai Huazang said, "Concubine, the poison I detected on the ginseng is Quan Mingfu. This poison is colorless and tasteless. Concubine deliberately put it on the ginseng because she knew that Concubine would use ginseng. She wanted to take advantage of Concubine's serious illness to make her die quietly. Concubine, you are so vicious."
After hearing Bai Huazang's words, Di Manli was a little unresponsive.
What is Quan Mingfu? She has never known this kind of poison.
Even if it is found out that she poisoned someone, it was Jiutian Powder. What does it have to do with Quan Mingfu?
Yingchun's mind worked quickly. She realized that the poison and the object used to poison them did not match, which meant that the other party had not identified the toxin and the object used to poison them, and wanted to frame them as concubines.
Yingchun said, "Doctor Bai, you are slandering me. My young lady is not that vicious and would not do such things. You are just thinking that there is a rift between the concubines and the concubines, and you want to throw a lot of dirty water on my concubine. Please, Your Highness, make a decision for me and clear my name."
She said this to remind Di Manli.
Di Manli was enlightened by her and quickly realized that someone had deliberately framed her.
So her guilty feeling just now disappeared in an instant, and she said with confidence:
"Your Majesty, I don't know who Quan Mingfu is, and I didn't do anything with the ginseng. It was Feng Shuyao and her cousin, a doctor, who teamed up to defraud me.
No matter how much the prince loves Feng Shuyao, he cannot let her arbitrarily accuse him of something. If the palace and the backyard become like this, what fairness and justice will there be in the future? If the prince does not believe it, then we will take this matter to the Dali Temple and let the government make a judgment!"
She was so confident that Xie Yan's original firm stance on Feng Shuyao and Bai Huazang's statements began to waver.
"You really didn't do this?"
Di Manli made up her mind, raised her hand and swore to the sky:
"I have never touched Quan Mingfu, nor have I poisoned the ginseng. If I had done this, I would be struck by lightning and die a miserable death!"
She was confident and fearless. Feng Shuyao noticed that Xie Yan's expression had relaxed, so she softly asked:
"Ahem... Your Majesty, my sister was born into a military family. She is resolute and upright in her actions. I do not believe that she would resort to such sinister methods as poisoning to harm others.
However, since the day her elder sister married into the palace, she came to Xilingxuan with a knife to kill her younger sister. Although it was a misunderstanding, it inevitably made people think that the elder sister could not tolerate her younger sister. Now there was the poisoning incident, so Shu Yao thought it was better to get to the bottom of it.
Since my sister said that she didn't have Quan Mingfu and didn't poison, in order to prove her innocence, the prince might as well send people to search my sister's Xiangxie Garden. If it wasn't my sister who did it, naturally nothing can be found. This way, everyone can testify and prove my sister's innocence."
Search her yard?
Di Manli was angry and pointed at Feng Shuyao and said:
"You are just a lowly concubine. What right do you have to search my courtyard? I said I didn't poison you, and that's it!"
After hearing what Feng Shuyao said, Xie Yan remembered that Di Manli drugged him so that he could marry into the Prince of Chu's Palace.
This woman will do anything to achieve her goal. She said she didn't poison anyone, but that's not necessarily true!
He ordered: "Liu Qi, take people to search the Xiangxie Garden thoroughly for me!"
Liu Qi took the order and left.
Di Manli became even angrier and said in shock:
"Your Majesty, you believe everything Feng Shuyao says. You have no judgment at all. Do you really want to insult me like this?"
While she was making excuses angrily, she secretly glanced at Yingchun.
Yingchun nodded slightly, indicating that all her poison had been dealt with.
Di Manli felt a little more at ease, but her face was still glaring, showing her dissatisfaction with the way Xie Yan handled the matter.
Xie Yan said: "Don't you want me to clear your name? I am doing just that."
Although this sounded like this, Di Manli still felt extremely humiliated.
Everyone in the room was waiting, and after an incense stick of time, Liu Qi came back.
"Your Highness, I found a packet of poison in the small kitchen of Xiangxieyuan. It was Quan Mingfu. Not only that, I also found this under the concubine's pillow."
Liu Qi asked someone to bring the things up.
The guard held a tray with a doll pierced with silver needles and Feng Shuyao's name written on it.
Xie Yan's pupils trembled violently, and everyone else in the room gasped.
Zhinan knelt down with a trembling voice and said in panic:
"Your Highness, it was a spell of curse. The concubine actually took advantage of the concubine's illness to curse her in secret. No wonder the concubine's poisoning has not healed. It turns out that the concubine not only poisoned her, but also did such a vicious thing. Fortunately, it was found out. Your Highness, please take charge of our young lady!"
The moment she saw the doll, Feng Shuyao burst into tears:
"Sister Concubine, I have always respected you and do not want to conflict with you. I have also been persuading the prince to spend more time with you. You hate me so much that you want to kill me. It really makes me feel disappointed."
She cried and complained about her grievance. Xie Yan's anger instantly reached its peak and he slapped Di Manli in the face:
"You vicious woman, it's not enough for you to harm the king, you also want to harm Shu Yao, the art of exorcism is a forbidden art in Daxia, you even use this kind of thing in the backyard of the king's mansion, I think you don't want to live!
Liu Qi, lock up the concubine in the cold garden. She is not allowed to step out of the cold garden without my order. Take her away!"
