Marrying Wife and Concubine Together: After Rebirth, I Remarried the Scumbag's Father on the Sp
Chapter 828 Stubbornness
She was silent for a moment and then asked worriedly, "Is it because the emperor is alienated from you?"
The Queen's tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. She could never forget the scene of Emperor Sheng An and that woman appearing in front of her.
Yu'er's life is hanging by a thread, how can he be entangled with another woman?
That's his biological son!
She choked up and murmured, "Yu'er had a high fever. I was very scared and ran to see him. But Li Delu stopped me at the door. When I rushed in, I saw him sleeping on the same bed with a woman. No one could bear such a blow, right?"
Lin Yiwan really sympathized with the Queen. If Zhan Yan dared to do this, she would not be so heartbroken that she would hang herself. She would have to hang him up and beat him!
Of course, the emperor is the ruler of a country, and no one dares to hang him up and beat him.
Not to mention the timid queen, who could only lick her wounds alone in self-pity.
She said in a serious tone, "You just can't let it go. Why are you still caring about him now? Aren't Yu'er and Lin'er the ones you care about the most? Have you ever thought about what would happen to them if you died?"
The Queen hesitated: "I have entrusted them to Concubine Rong!"
Lin Yiwan interrupted without hesitation: "After all, Concubine Rong is just a concubine. How long can she protect the two children? If the emperor has a successor, do you think they will still be good?"
The queen gritted her teeth, her face filled with regret and guilt.
Lin Yiwan didn't want to provoke her any further, so she stood up and said, "For now, we should quickly find out the real culprit behind this. It seems that the murderer is Yu'er's wet nurse, but how did the fire phosphorus powder get into the palace? We have to find out!"
The Queen asked cautiously, "Wanwan, all the clues have been cut off. I really don't know how to investigate. Can you give me some clues?"
Lin Yiwan lowered her eyes and pondered, "Is there anyone in the palace who is very close to Yu'er's wet nurse?"
The queen naturally didn't know about this, but she could ask the maid in charge of the palace.
Soon the housekeeper found some clues and came to report: "Reporting to the Queen and the Marquis, the wet nurse is not close to anyone. On the contrary, she has an enemy!"
Lin Yiwan was the first to ask, "Who is it?"
The housekeeper looked embarrassed, and after a moment she answered cautiously, "It's Li Delu, the eunuch Li who serves the emperor!"
Lin Yiwan couldn't help but take a breath. After investigating for a long time, she even found people around the emperor.
The queen was also extremely shocked. She really didn't expect that Yu'er's wet nurse would have a grudge against Li Delu.
How to check this?
Her relationship with the emperor had already become strained, and if she were to interrogate his personal eunuchs now, it would surely make him even more furious.
Just as she was hesitant, Lin Yiwan spoke first: "I'll go ask Li Delu. You're still injured, so rest first!"
The queen looked at her back as she stood up and left, feeling extremely guilty!
She murmured in a trembling voice: "Wanwan, I'm sorry, I'm afraid I will never get your forgiveness in this life!"
Lin Yiwan had heard the Queen's confession, but she didn't want to turn back.
Some feelings are hurt and can never be repaired.
She tried so hard to find the real culprit behind the scenes, ultimately it was for the innocent Yu'er. The poor little guy was almost burned to death, and she felt very sad.
She hurried to the imperial study and saw Li Delu dozing off at the door.
It was the first time that Lin Yiwan looked at him so carefully. Only now did she realize that in the entire palace, apart from the emperor and empress, he was the one with the most power.
It’s terrifying to think about it. If he wants to do something, it will be very easy to accomplish.
Thinking of this, Lin Yiwan's brows were tightly knitted together.
Li Delu seemed to notice that someone was watching her, and subconsciously looked in the direction of the gaze.
When he saw Lin Yiwan, he immediately smiled ingratiatingly, "Madam Hou, you're here? Has the Empress been settled?"
Lin Yiwan walked up to him casually and said, "Li Delu, I just heard some news on the way here. It's about you. Do you want to hear it?"
Li Delu narrowed his eyes and said, "Of course I want to hear it. I'm actually very curious about what people are saying about me outside."
Lin Yiwan chuckled calmly, "It's not a big deal. You just said you had a grudge against the wet nurse who was burned to death earlier. I was wondering, with such a good temper, why would you get into a conflict with someone?"
Li Delu was stunned at first, and then cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He whispered, "Madam Hou, who is spreading gossip about me? I serve the emperor wholeheartedly every day, so how could I do such a mess? You don't suspect that I am the real culprit behind this, do you?"
Lin Yiwan shook her head. "Of course I won't doubt you. I see your unwavering loyalty to the Emperor. However, if rumors like this spread, it will inevitably have a huge impact on you!"
Li Delu is not an ordinary person. Since he has been able to stay with Emperor Sheng An for so long, he has naturally developed a slippery personality.
He could now guess that if any rumors reached the emperor's ears, he would inevitably be suspected.
By then, his position in the palace would be in jeopardy.
Thinking of this, he knelt on the ground and begged, "Madam, you can't just ignore me. Considering how much respect I have for you and even for Marquis Zhan Yi, you have to help me!"
Lin Yiwan frowned and said, "What are you doing? Who told you to kneel? If you don't explain the situation to me, how can I control you?"
Li Delu took advantage of the fact that no one was around and invited Lin Yiwan into the teahouse.
He said helplessly, "The wet nurse who fed the Second Prince was actually my cousin. We were engaged back then, but something happened at home when I was six, so her family called off the engagement. With nowhere else to turn, I went to the capital to become a eunuch. I never imagined that I would meet her again in the palace one day!"
Lin Yiwan didn't expect that there would be such a complicated story. She had to sigh that the world is really too small.
Li Delu said to herself, "Ever since we met, she's been a little restless, always asking me about the Emperor's affairs, which really disgusts me. I scolded her to do her duty as a wet nurse, but she turned a deaf ear to me!"
Lin Yiwan couldn't help but frown. Why would she inquire about the emperor's whereabouts?
She was the second prince's wet nurse, so naturally it was impossible for her to help the queen inquire.
Or is there another master?
Suddenly, a sentence the queen said emerged in her mind. She saw with her own eyes that the emperor was sleeping on the same bed with another woman. Who was that woman?
She immediately asked Li Delu, "Hasn't the Emperor been arguing with the Empress these past few days over a woman? Who is that woman?"
