Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp

Could it be the queen?

Thinking of this, Lin Yiwan's heart sank.

Defei played a big game. She released Rongpin from the cold palace and instigated her to kill herself. If she succeeded, she would naturally get rid of her anger, but if she failed, it would be a setback for the Queen.

When Concubine Rong wakes up, she will definitely keep dwelling on the matter of the child. At that time, the emperor will remember what the queen had done before, and I am afraid that a rift will surely arise between the two of them.

It has to be said that this incident really caught Lin Yiwan off guard.

Rongpin saw the struggle in her eyes and couldn't help asking, "What's wrong with you? You haven't told me yet, who are you? Since you live in Tingyu Pavilion, you must be of noble status!"

Lin Yiwan slowly replied, "I am the wife of Marquis Zhan Yi. My name is Lin Yiwan!"

Dai Rong's eyes lit up. "You are Doctor Lin's granddaughter, right? I remember when I came to the palace for a banquet before, I made a wreath for you!"

Lin Yiwan also remembered that she felt the banquet was too boring, so she secretly ran out to the imperial garden to pick flowers.

There happened to be a very pretty little girl who was also making a wreath, so I gave her one. Unexpectedly, it turned out to be her!

But, the appearance is completely different!

The little girl at that time was slim and graceful, but now her hair is all gray and she looks like an old woman.

It’s only been a few years!

She subconsciously grasped Rongpin's cold fingers and asked, "Are all those who knew about what happened back then gone?"

She shook her head bitterly: "No, actually, I guessed it. There is no matter in the harem that the emperor can't find out. Since he refuses to give me an explanation, the person who exchanged the child is very important to him, and he doesn't want to punish her!"

Lin Yiwan spoke without hesitation: "Princess Rong, do you believe me?"

Rongpin looked at her in astonishment: "What are you going to do?"

Lin Yiwan took a deep breath and said, "I'll give you an explanation. Give me two days and I'll help you find out the whole story!"

Rongpin's eyes immediately turned red. She bit her lips tightly and didn't say a word.

Lin Yiwan said with a complicated expression: "You understand the emperor, and you have thought of who that person should be, but I don't agree with you taking revenge on her, because based on my understanding of her, she would never do that!"

Rongpin wiped the tears from her face and sneered, "No wonder, you wanted to protect her, but she also lost her child at that time. She couldn't bear to see someone else give birth to the emperor's child. It's very likely!"

Lin Yiwan shook her head firmly: "No, she wouldn't, and I'm not protecting her. I just want to get to the bottom of this matter, not let you resent it indiscriminately and wrongly accuse a good person!"

Rongpin sarcastically retorted, "Do you think there are still good people in this harem? Madam Hou, don't be naive. I will avenge my own vengeance myself. You don't need to meddle in my business!"

After she finished speaking, she stood up and left quickly.

Lin Yiwan didn't dare delay and quickly chased after her, pleading, "Rongpin, think carefully about how you escaped from the cold palace. Are you willing to be used by others?"

A hint of coldness flashed in Rongpin's eyes, and she interrupted without hesitation: "I should thank her. It was she who allowed me to meet you, cured my madness, and made me remember the hatred of the past!"

Lin Yiwan grabbed her wrist and said gloomily, "Then you should also know that just as I can make you sober, I can also make you crazy again!"

Rongpin was so frightened that her whole body froze. She shouted defensively, "How dare you deliberately murder a concubine in the harem!"

Lin Yiwan frowned and reminded him, "You were already a lunatic to begin with. If I change you back, it wouldn't be considered murder!"

Just one sentence made Rongpin's face turn pale and ugly. She gritted her teeth and said, "Okay, I'll give you two days. If you can't explain it to me, I will go and settle the score with her myself!"

Lin Yiwan nodded. "I will never break my promise. However, before I do this, I can't be taken advantage of. Tell me, who persuaded you to come to Tingyu Pavilion and kill me?"

Rongpin had no choice but to answer: "It was Madam Hu, the guard of the cold palace!"

At this time, in Concubine De's palace, she and Madam Du drank several bowls of tea in succession.

However, there was still no news from Tingyu Pavilion.

Madam Du couldn't help but ask, "Could it be that the madman's assassination attempt failed?"

Concubine De shook her head firmly: "No, even if she fails, there will be another result in the end, so let's be patient and wait a little longer!"

Mrs. Du was about to speak again when she heard a sudden commotion outside.

Then Lin Yiwan dragged Madam Hu, whose face was covered in blood, into the hall, which frightened Concubine De so much that her face turned pale.

She shouted, "Lin Yiwan, what are you doing? This is the harem. How can we tolerate you being so unruly?"

Lin Yiwan said innocently, "Empress Defei, please don't make false accusations against me. I was living peacefully in Tingyu Pavilion, taking care of the Holy Maiden of Li Country, when a mad woman suddenly escaped from the cold palace and stabbed me with a knife. Of course I have to find out who is behind this!"

Concubine De retorted with an unpleasant expression, "Why did you come to my palace to investigate the mastermind behind this?"

Lin Yiwan kicked Aunt Hu and said, "You tell me?"

Madam Hu spoke tremblingly, "Empress Defei, you can't just stand by and watch her die. It was because I saw your token that I secretly let Concubine Rong go!"

De Fei angrily shouted: "Nonsense, why would I give you a token? Am I stupid?"

Madam Hu immediately took out a jade pendant and said, "Isn't this it?"

Concubine De was shocked all over. It was indeed her jade pendant. She didn't expect that it would fall into the hands of Matron Hu and be used as evidence by her.

Now, she had no idea how to pick it.

She took a deep breath and said, "Madam Hou, don't believe her lies. I don't know how the jade pendant fell into her hands, but I would never harm you so blatantly!"

Lin Yiwan sighed helplessly, "Look, Madam Hu, if Concubine De doesn't protect you, then I can only send you to the Emperor and let him deal with you. You should also know that there is a high probability that you will die!"

Aunt Hu was trembling all over. She hadn’t lived long enough, how could she die?

Concubine De is so cold-blooded that she dares to watch someone die without helping!

She said quickly, "Madam, I dare not lie. As the head of the cold palace, how could I let this crazy woman go so easily? It was Concubine De who gave me this jade pendant, which is hers. I only obeyed your order!"

Concubine De angrily denied: "This is not my jade pendant, you have made a mistake!"

Matron Hu frowned and retorted, "How could that be? Her Majesty the Virtuous loves orchids the most, so everything that belongs to you has orchid markings, including this jade pendant. How could I have made a mistake?"

Lin Yiwan said sarcastically, "It seems that Concubine De will not admit it, but it doesn't matter. Let the emperor investigate, and he will definitely give me an explanation!"
