Her eyes rolled back and she fainted instantly.
When she woke up, she found Lin Yiwan sitting beside her, and Nanny Jin was also standing beside her with red eyes.
*** suddenly remembered something and asked in surprise, "Where's Xiao Ke'er?"
Lin Yiwan pointed at the two figures kneeling on the ground and asked, "Your Highness, are you calling him, or him?"
***Then he saw clearly the two people kneeling on the ground. In addition to Pei Ke, there was also a rough-looking man. Apart from his appearance, his other clothes, accessories and hairstyle were all similar to Pei Ke!
She asked in a trembling voice, "Who are you? Why are you in the princess's palace?"
The man lowered his head and did not answer. Only Pei Ke, who was kneeling beside him, was trembling all over.
*** forced herself to stand up, raised her hand and slapped Pei Ke hard in the face: "Tell me, who is he? Why is he in the princess's palace?"
Pei Ke panicked and argued, "Your Highness, I don't know either. I was just knocked unconscious, and then the Marquis's wife and Nanny Jin rushed in. They wanted to frame Ke'er. Please, Your Highness, help Ke'er!"
Nanny Jin angrily accused, "Your Highness, don't listen to his nonsense. When the Marquis's wife and I came in, he was watching that man bullying you and even putting that dirty thing in front of you!"
"Ugh!" Shocked and angry, *** fell on the couch and began to dry heave.
Pei Ke!
How dare he do this to her?
He obviously looks so well-behaved and obedient, and he obviously cares about her so much!
It turns out it was all fake!
Pei Ke denied anxiously: "Your Highness, this is not true. Nanny Jin must have been bribed by the Marquis's wife. She deserves death the most. Your Highness, please deal with her quickly!"
*** roared: "Shut up!"
She quickly stood up and raised her hand to pinch Pei Ke's chin. She stared at him and asked, "Tell me the truth, was it you or him that night?"
Pei Ke answered directly: "It's me!"
"Swish!" *** directly took off his clothes.
Lin Yiwan subconsciously turned her face away. She didn't want her eyes to be dirty by the dirty things.
Pei Ke's eyes widened in horror, and he froze on the spot like a clown.
***'s face was full of disgust, and he directly picked up the teapot on the table and poured it on his waist.
"Ah!" Pei Ke screamed in pain from the burns.
*** was terrified. Fortunately, she didn't let him go to the Ministry of War, otherwise, she was afraid that it would cause a big disaster.
She recalled her first meeting with Pei Ke, and a hint of murderous intent flashed in her eyes.
She said in a cold voice: "Come here, tie up Pei Ke and interrogate him to find out who instructed him to approach this princess intentionally!"
"Yes!" Two guards stepped forward and dragged the disheveled Pei Ke away.
Suddenly, the man was the only one left in the hall. Even though Pei Ke was taken away, he remained calm.
*** said: "Are you Pei Ke's bodyguard? What's your name?"
The man did not answer, but continued to kneel in front of her with his head lowered.
Lin Yiwan asked curiously, "Huh? Is he deaf and dumb?"
*** didn't hesitate and reached out to pinch his chin.
Seeing that his mouth was empty, I immediately realized that his tongue had been cut off and he couldn't speak at all.
The man looked at *** with pleading eyes, and his expression finally showed a slight change.
*** frowned and looked at Lin Yiwan: "He can't listen and can't speak. He must be just a tool found by Pei Ke!"
After several attempts, Lin Yiwan was sure that he really couldn't hear any sound.
She then sighed, "How does Your Highness plan to deal with him?"
A complex expression flashed across ***'s eyes, and after a long moment, she let out a sigh: "This is the best outcome, right? Let him stay by my side!"
Lin Yiwan had no say in her decision. All she could think about was that the ointment had to be developed as soon as possible.
Soon the guards had the results of the interrogation. It turned out that Pei Ke felt that his status was low and there was no hope for him to make a breakthrough in the Pei family. That's why he found a disabled person to deliberately approach the queen, hoping to get an official position by relying on her favor.
It seemed like a simple scheme to gain power through nepotism, but Lin Yiwan was still a little worried.
Why did you go to the Ministry of War?
There are so many official positions in the court, and Pei Ke doesn't like them?
When she got on the carriage to return to the Marquis' Mansion, she still felt uneasy.
She quickly instructed Zi'er: "Go check Pei Ke's mother and see where she came from."
"Yes!" Zi'er took the order and left.
Before Lin Yiwan received the news, Lin Su suddenly returned from the palace.
She looked a little tired, with red eyes, as if she had been crying.
Lin Yiwan was very confused. Her mother was taking care of Prince Li in the palace. He must have been pampering her. How could he let her suffer any grievances?
How could she cry?
Thinking of this, she went straight to Lin Su's yard.
Since she came back, she arranged for Tang Qizhen's sick son Tang Mingxuan and Lin Su to live in the Marquis' Mansion.
Lin Su's door was closed. She reached out and patted it: "Mom, it's me. I'm feeling a little unwell and want to talk to you!"
Sure enough, Lin Su not only opened the door, but also asked in panic, "Wanwan, what's wrong with you?"
Lin Yiwan felt vaguely guilty and thought she shouldn't have lied to her mother.
She could only answer, "I don't have much of an appetite, so I wanted to ask where my mother found the spicy and sour bok choy we ate before. I'm ravenous right now!"
Lin Su thought carefully for a moment before mumbling, "That's a specialty of Cangliang City. It's no longer sold in the capital. I don't know where the old lady found it!"
Lin Yiwan's eyes lit up. "Mother, isn't Cangliang City the residence of Prince Li? He must know where it is. Let's go into the palace and ask him!"
Lin Su's expression suddenly changed, and she quickly said, "You go if you want to go. I'm a little tired and want to have a good sleep!"
As he said that, he curled up in bed, like a wounded kitten licking its wounds alone.
Lin Yiwan was about to ask more when she heard Ling'er calling from outside, "Madam, Prince Li from the palace has been brought into our mansion. He said he wants to see you for a consultation. Will you come?"
Hearing this, Lin Su instinctively buried herself in the quilt.
Lin Yiwan didn't dare to be negligent. After all, he was the Prince of Li, so she had to go out to greet him quickly.
When she came outside, she saw two tall and mighty guards carrying Prince Li, who was leaning on a soft pillow. He was raising his head with difficulty to look behind her.
She quickly stepped forward to greet him: "Your Highness, your Highness!"
Prince Li gave her a resentful look and said, "Wanwan, where is your mother? She may have some misunderstandings about me. I need to explain to her!"
Lin Yiwan was just about to ask what was going on. Why did he run back feeling aggrieved after just one night of taking care of her in the palace?
Seeing her complicated expression, Prince Li reminded her, "Can you please place me first?"
