They are all concubines, so of course they choose the future emperor.
Chapter 14 Unexpected
There was no panic on Jiang Wanyue's face, but instead there was surprise and anger.
She fell to her knees.
"Princess, please understand. This matter has nothing to do with me. Although I don't know who reported me, this is definitely a slander! I have only been in the palace for less than half a month. I don't even know everyone in the palace. How could I possibly harm Aunt Luo?"
"Besides, I have only met Aunt Luo a few times and have never had any conflicts with her. Why would I want to harm her?"
The princess actually didn't believe that it was Jiang Wanyue who did it.
Just like she said, she had only been in the palace for less than a month, and the only person around her was the maid named Xiuchun. But Xiuchun was an outsider, and the servants in the palace were a mixed bunch, fighting among themselves, but they were all very xenophobic. What could Xiuchun, an outsider, do?
The princess was quite confident in her ability as a housekeeper. She didn't believe that a young concubine who had just arrived could do such a thing under her nose without being caught.
So, the princess softened her attitude.
"Get up! I know you have always been obedient and well behaved. I didn't suspect you, but someone sued you, so I called you here to question you according to the rules."
Jiang Wanyue pursed her lips, gratitude showing in her eyes.
"Princess, you are very observant and will not be deceived by a villain. I just feel sorry for Aunt Luo. I heard that she was pregnant for less than two months and the child is gone. I don't know how sad she must be."
Having said this, she lowered her head and wiped the corners of her eyes.
The princess actually didn't care about Aunt Luo's child. It was less than two months old and hadn't even taken shape yet. It was just a lump of flesh and blood. If it was gone, it was gone.
"She is unlucky, so she can't blame others."
The princess said lightly, and her eyes turned to look at Xie Lanxi.
"Aunt Xie, what else do you want to say now?"
Xie Lanxi was anxious. How could the princess believe Jiang Wanyue's casual words?
"Princess, I have evidence! Jiang Wanyue's maid went out of the palace several times a few days ago and went to the clinic to buy medicine. The palace doctors said that Aunt Luo took the wrong medicine and had a miscarriage. Who else could have gotten the harmful medicine except Jiang Wanyue? She was favored by the prince when she first came. After Aunt Luo got pregnant, she took the prince's attention away. She must have been jealous and attacked Aunt Luo."
Jiang Wanyue narrowed her eyes and suddenly asked back.
"How did you know that my maid had been to the clinic outside?"
"Of course someone saw it!"
"Who saw it?"
"My maid."
Jiang Wanyue smiled suddenly.
"Did your maid see it? That means your maid, Aunt Xie, has also been to the clinic. Then what makes you say that I am the only one who can get the medicine from outside?"
Xie Lanxi opened her mouth, but for a moment she couldn't say anything to refute.
Jiang Wanyue snorted softly.
"Aunt Xie, are you crying thief?"
Then she turned to explain to the princess.
"My maid Xiuchun did go to the clinic, but she didn't go to buy medicine, she went to ask for a prescription. I used to have irregular menstruation, and it's embarrassing to tell others about a woman's illness, so I thought of asking the maid to take the old prescription to ask the doctor. She just asked for the prescription and didn't bring any medicine back. Your Majesty also knows about this."
The princess did not say anything immediately, but glanced at the court doctor.
"Show it to Aunt Jiang."
The court physician lowered his eyes, walked up to Jiang Wanyue, and took her pulse.
"Mrs. Jiang has a cold body and will indeed have symptoms of menstrual disorders. She needs to take medicine regularly, otherwise it will affect her offspring."
When the princess heard about the impact on her offspring, her brows relaxed, then frowned again.
"Aunt Xie, do you have any other evidence?"
Where does Aunt Xie have any other evidence?
She looked to her good sister Guan Rou for help.
Guan Rou seemed not to see it.
The princess clapped the armrest.
"Since there is no solid evidence, you are making a false accusation! The prince usually dotes on you, but I cannot tolerate any sand in my eyes! Aunt Xie slandered Aunt Jiang without any reason. From now on, you will be fined six months' salary and confined to reflect on your mistakes for three months."
Xie Lanxi's face changed drastically.
She doesn't care about the fine, but she has to reflect on her mistakes behind closed doors, which means she can't have any contact with Prince Jing. How can she get pregnant?
She plopped down on her knees.
"princess……"
But as soon as she opened her mouth, she was interrupted by Jiang Wanyue.
"Princess, I wonder what the maid of Concubine Xie is doing in the clinic? Concubine Xie is in good health and doesn't seem to have any hidden illness. The doctors in the mansion are very skilled. Why did she let the maid go to the clinic outside? I heard that Concubine Xie and Concubine Luo entered the mansion at the same time. They have a good relationship, and Concubine Xie is more favored by the prince than Concubine Luo. But now Concubine Luo is pregnant first..."
Jiang Wanyue directly stabbed Xie Lanxi with the boomerang.
Didn't you say that my maid was suspicious when she went to the clinic? Didn't you say that I was jealous and that's why I attacked Aunt Luo?
Now the question is thrown to you, how are you going to explain it?
Xie Lanxi naturally couldn't answer this question.
She sent the maid to the hospital to verify the secret recipe, but she couldn't say this!
In a hurry, she couldn't think of any other suitable reason. She hesitated for a long time, and her eyes became more and more panicked.
The princess glanced at her with disdain, and then ordered people to search Huanxiyuan.
No matter how Xie Lanxi struggled, it was useless.
Not long after, the old lady came back with a bunch of medicinal herbs.
These medicinal herbs were obviously the secret recipe for having a child that Xie Lanxi asked her maid to buy secretly.
The princess was very strict in managing the backyard, and the procedure for hiring a palace doctor when someone was sick was even more rigorous.
As a result, she didn't expect that the dumbest Aunt Xie had secretly hidden so many medicinal herbs under her nose.
The princess was so angry that she asked the court doctor to check.
Fortunately, the local doctor found out that these were fertility-aiding drugs and would not harm pregnant women.
Therefore, she was cleared of the matter of murdering Aunt Luo.
But it is a foregone conclusion that Jiang Wanyue was framed and drugs were hidden.
The princess gave an order directly, and the maidservant beside Xie Lanxi was beaten half to death and thrown out of the palace.
She was also punished to copy "Female Commandments" and "Internal Training" every day, and she was not allowed to stop until she could recite them by heart.
No matter how Xie Lanxi pleaded, it was of no use.
She was dragged out crying and shouting and put in solitary confinement.
Jiang Wanyue thinks.
The world is finally quiet.
I don’t know what Prince Jing likes about Xie Lanxi. She is so stupid. I can’t have her even if she is so beautiful!
After the princess quickly resolved these issues, she comforted Jiang Wanyue with a few words and let them leave.
After the group left the main courtyard, Aunt Luo suddenly spoke.
"Aren't Sister Guan and Sister Xie very close on weekdays? They get along like real sisters. Why didn't Sister Guan say a word when Sister Xie got into trouble today? It seems that the relationship between sisters is just like that."
Guan Rou smiled very reluctantly.
She didn't know that Xie Lanxi would suddenly do this!
So stupid.
How can you succeed in framing someone without any evidence?
At least get some decent evidence and put it in Wutong Courtyard, so it looks like the truth!
For the first time in her life, Guan Rou felt what it meant to have a bad teammate.
