No matter how many times she said it, Su Jinyun was still like a possessed person, and was in a state of panic all day long.
Later, Su Jinyun began to pull her hair and scream at the slightest movement.
She caused chaos in the Ruiping Palace.
Rumors spread in the mansion that she was the disaster star of Ruiping Palace.
On the day that Prince Ruiping married her, Princess Ruiping died. After the princess was buried, she went mad again. What a disaster!
Later, the maid who served Su Jinyun personally accidentally revealed Su Jinyun's secret one day.
"After the Concubine fell asleep, she kept talking in her sleep. I overheard her one time, and she kept begging for mercy. She asked the Princess to spare her, saying that she had put drugs in the fertility soup..."
"Oh my God?" Someone covered his mouth in surprise.
"Don't say anything careless. This matter is of great importance and should be reported to the prefect."
"I dare not, I won't go." The maid waved her hands and left in a hurry.
Recently, the prefect has been investigating the cause of death of the imperial concubine. Many maids and servants were locked up in the woodshed in the backyard, without food or water, and were in a very miserable state.
At this critical juncture, only those who are careless would dare to come forward.
However, there is no wall that is impenetrable, and Su Jinyun's mumbling soon reached the ears of the prefect.
There were already many doubts about where the aconite that appeared in Madam Li's room came from, and Su Jinyun's mumbling at night was undoubtedly a confession.
The prefect immediately came to the Ruiping Palace and asked to see the concubine.
"Sir, my prince is not at home, and the concubine is not feeling well and cannot meet guests."
The wet nurse replied to the prefect with dark circles under her eyes.
Since Ji Xingyao was buried, Li Heng went to the cemetery every morning and returned home in the evening.
After returning home, they went to Yaohua Garden. The wet nurse asked to see the prince several times, but was told that the prince would not see anyone.
Su Jinyun is acting crazy, the prince comes and goes without a trace, and has no interest in the affairs of the palace. The Ruiping Palace is leaderless and in chaos.
The prefect looked around and made up his mind.
"I'm waiting for the prince here. Someone, guard the gate of Ruiping Palace and don't let anyone leave."
"Yes."
The prefect came prepared and brought yamen runners with him. The main gate and side gate of Ruiping Prince's Mansion were quickly guarded.
The palace steward saw this and said, "Sir, I will go and ask the prince to return to the palace."
The prefect nodded in agreement, and the steward hurried out the door.
It was already noon when Li Heng returned to the palace.
The winter sun is weak and there is no warmth at all.
In the courtyard of the palace, a row of slaves knelt.
"Your Highness." The prefect bowed to Li Heng.
"You don't have to be so polite, Prefect. The housekeeper said you found the real culprit who poisoned the princess?"
The prefect stood up straight and said: "This is just my guess, and I need His Majesty to witness it."
"it is good."
Li Heng was invited to the main seat by the prefect and called over the maid who served Su Jinyun.
"Tell the prince the truth, what did the concubine say in her dream?"
The maid knelt on the ground trembling, shaking for a long time, and could not utter a word.
The prefect shouted sternly:
"You are so bold! Do you know that harboring a criminal is equivalent to being an accomplice? Tell me what you know without hiding anything. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless and torturing you."
The maidservant was terrified, afraid to hide it any longer. "The Concubine had a nightmare in the middle of the night and was delirious. She kept apologizing, saying sorry... sorry, Princess. It was she... who ordered... who ordered Lady Li to put drugs in the fertility soup."
The maid's voice was as soft as a mosquito's, but the prefect and Li Heng could hear it clearly.
"Crack!" The armrest of the blood-sandalwood chair on which Li Heng was sitting was suddenly crushed to pieces.
"Your Highness, please spare me, Your Highness, please spare me. What I said is all true, not a single lie." The maid begged for mercy desperately in fear.
The wood chips pierced Li Heng's palm.
Tick.
Blood dripped, staining Li Heng's wide robe red.
A dark cloud floated over the horizon, covering the sickly sun. The sky became gloomy, covering the Ruiping Palace and making it hard to breathe.
"Where is Su Jinyun?"
Soon, Su Jinyun was "invited" out of the house.
