Rebirth and Revenge: The Imperial Master’s Pampering of Me is Addicting Me

Chapter 73 I am just giving him a taste of his own medicine

Things turned out to be just as they had guessed. The Queen had a thorough investigation of a group of palace maids in the palace, and they only found out that it was Concubine Ying's subordinates who had tampered with the wine, targeting Mu Qingli and Prince An. They even arranged for people to catch the adulterer.

Unfortunately, something went wrong with the wine given to Mu Qingli and she didn't seem to drink it. In the end, the glass of drugged wine was found at her seat, and Mu Qingli's suspicion of being the cause was completely cleared.

Concubine Ying wanted to make some excuses, but unfortunately the Fifth Princess was a fool and did not hide her actions, revealing too many flaws. She could only pretend to be ignorant and put all the blame on the eunuchs. In order to prove her innocence, she even specifically instructed the people from the Ministry of Punishment to interrogate her thoroughly.

Who knew that as soon as she left, all the young eunuchs were poisoned to death in the Ministry of Punishment. Before they died, they were still shouting that they were framed, which made Concubine Ying very angry.

But the queen was even more angry. She arranged this palace banquet just to see if the idiot Third Prince would do anything when drunk. She had already set up the stage, but she didn't expect that the Third Prince would be late and instead of indulging in beauty, he would make things difficult for the Seventh Prince.

She never expected that her son had been poisoned. Fortunately, he met someone from the Gu family on the way and sent him back. Otherwise, if Prince An was caught committing adultery with those young eunuchs in the palace, her position as queen would be over!

The scheming instead left a loophole, giving the imperial concubine's men an opportunity to attack her son. The queen was so regretful and angry that she almost had a falling out with imperial concubine An in the hall.

Concubine An thought about it and concluded that there was nothing wrong with her plan, except that there was a problem with the wine. However, the people arranged for the banquet were all her people except the Queen. If the Queen had not made any move, how could a little girl who had just come of age escape this plan?

Unexpectedly, she worked so hard to lure Prince Ting and his attendants over, but in the end only the attendant was tricked, while more than a dozen people on her side were killed. She didn't believe that the Queen had no hand in this.

Both sides suspected each other and parted ways almost unhappily, returning to their respective palaces.

Concubine Ying was worried and followed Concubine An back to the palace, her eyes full of worry.

"Your Majesty, I never imagined the Queen would resort to such drastic measures, using a close attendant to discredit His Highness Prince An. Although there's no trace left on the jade pendant, if word of this reaches His Majesty...

I'm worried that Your Majesty will think this matter is related to His Royal Highness Prince An, but now those people are dead, there is simply no evidence."

What she was more worried about was that her daughter would impulsively involve the little girl from the Mu family and accidentally ruin the Imperial Concubine's business. What if the matter became a big deal and the Empress Dowager pushed all the blame on her?

Concubine An didn't even need to turn her head to look at her to know what she was worried about. She waved her hand impatiently, with a cold look between her brows.

"Didn't you say there's no evidence after death? Then who can prove this is connected to Prince An? Didn't my son's jade pendant get lost? If the Queen wants to fish in troubled waters and frame him, His Majesty will have to believe her."

After she said this, Concubine Ying felt much more at ease. Just now in the hall, she was forced by the Queen to admit the crime of not governing her subordinates strictly. If she had been charged with one more crime, she might have lost her position as a concubine. Fortunately, the Queen was in the Emperor's favor.

Concubine An put her mind at ease and waved her hand to let her leave. She also reminded her to take good care of her daughter and not to embarrass her.

Concubine Ying felt a little uncomfortable when she heard this, but she didn't dare to disobey. She could only agree with a wry smile, then turned around and left back to her palace.

Who knew that as soon as she entered the inner room, she saw her daughter smashing things in the hall, which made her feel so distressed.

Her family is not like that of the Queen and Concubine An, one of whom has the support of a family and the protection of the emperor. She got the position of concubine by relying on the Concubine, and it cost a lot of money!

"Why are you so angry again? Can you control yourself a little? Do you know that you almost ruined the Empress's plan this time?"

But Lu Yao had no idea what was going on, let alone what big deal she was talking about. Her heart was filled with anger and jealousy.

"Why do I have to be more restrained?! It was that little bitch from the Mu family who insisted on competing with me for the person I like! She insisted on competing with me for the one I like!

I just like Gu Luoheng, I won't marry anyone else, Mom, please think of a solution for me!"

Concubine Ying now felt a headache when she heard the three words "Gu Luoheng", and there was a hint of impatience between her eyebrows.

"How many times have I told you to stop thinking about him? He is the eldest son of the Gu family and the grandson that Grand Tutor Gu values ​​the most. Do you think they will let Gu Luoheng marry the princess?

How could he, a man favored by His Majesty and with the full support of his family, ruin his future just for a princess like you? Moreover, he has a childhood sweetheart, can you please use your brains?

But Lu Yao had been spoiled by her since she was a child, so when she got angry, she didn't care about anything else and immediately sat on the couch and started crying.

"I don't care, I don't care. I just like him. I won't marry anyone else except him. If I can't marry that little girl from the Mu family, then forget about marrying him!"

Not to mention how noisy Ying Fei's palace was tonight, Mu Qingli had already returned to Li Garden and was not surprised to see Mu Fushu waiting for her in the pavilion.

Qixue had been waiting in the Li Garden. She had tactfully asked the other maids in the yard to go downstairs to rest, leaving the space for the brother and sister to have a good talk.

Mu Qingli glanced at Qiu Jin, smiled and asked her to prepare a pot of calming tea before sitting down in the pavilion.

"Brother, are you here to talk to me again today? I've already told you everything. I'm just giving you a taste of your own medicine."

Mu Fushu pushed the pastries on the table over and tried to keep a straight face but it fell through as soon as he opened his mouth.

"You didn't eat much at the banquet. Eat something first. What if you have a stomachache at night after drinking so much fruit wine?"

Being cared for so much by her brother, Mu Qingli felt in a very good mood. She smiled slightly, raised her chin, and raised her eyebrows slightly, with a bit more cuteness between her eyebrows.

"So, brother is here to show concern for Ali? Brother is really becoming more and more considerate. My sister-in-law will be blessed from now on. I wonder when brother will find a sister-in-law for Ali?"

Mu Fushu was suddenly teased by his sister. He looked away with a little embarrassment, and then he deliberately frowned and knocked on the table as if he thought of something.

"Stop changing the subject and tell me exactly how many people you have planted in the palace? If you wanted to deal with Concubine An, why did you involve the Queen's people? Or are you aiming to deal with the entire royal family?"
