Quick Wear: The Development of a Pure Cannon Fodder

Now seeing that Concubine Wei actually lied in front of the Crown Prince, Xiao Cui felt a twisted sense of pleasure when she thought about how the Crown Prince would deal with Concubine Wei later.

Shao Lian looked at Concubine Wei, who was lying to him without knowing the situation, and was almost amused by her stupidity. "You're trying to deny everything, but your personal maid Xiao Cui told you before you came that you knew about the costume poisoning Concubine Liu. How dare you say you knew nothing?"

Concubine Wei looked flustered, but she forced herself to suppress it. Her expression was so indescribable that it was hard to describe it in words.

But she didn't dare to admit that she lied, nor did she want to admit that she had poisoned Concubine Liu. She could only go down this path and say, "This is all slander! Your Highness, I absolutely did not harm Sister Liu! This lowly servant is the one who is blaming me!"

"Your Highness's teachings on harmony in the backyard have been kept in mind. Since entering the mansion, I have been setting an example for the sisters in the backyard, treating them like my own sisters and never hurting them. They have never had any problems before. Your Highness, you know all this!" Concubine Wei wiped her tears.

Seeing that she refused to admit it, Shao Lian put the medicine bottle on the table, making a loud noise. Concubine Wei and Xiao Cui, who were kneeling below, couldn't help but tremble.

Shao Lian coldly asked, "Wei Wenhan, how many things have you done in this backyard? How many big and small things have you stirred up? Do you really think I don't know? I thought Madam Yun's fate would have made you calm, but I didn't expect you to still be stubborn."

Concubine Wei's eyelashes trembled, and her fists tightened under her sleeves. "I, I don't know what Your Highness is talking about. I haven't done anything I haven't done. Your Highness, you can't just believe what others say!"

She had heard it, but she was afraid that the prince had no evidence at all, only the fact that Xiao Cui destroyed the poison. That was not solid evidence. As long as she refused to admit it and put all the blame on Xiao Cui, the prince would have no evidence and could not convict her or do anything to her.

As for the things that happened in the past, as long as Shao Lian didn't say which one it was, she wouldn't be stupid enough to respond.

Shao Lian also knew what she was planning. "You think I can't do anything to you without evidence, right? But what evidence do I need? You and I both know who ordered Xiao Cui to destroy the poison. We know whether you were involved or not, so I don't want to see you in the future."

Concubine Wei looked up in surprise, unable to believe that the prince would treat her like this!

Indeed, she and the prince both knew that she was not innocent behind this matter, but she did not expect that even so, Shao Lian would still punish her.

If Shao Lian doesn't want to see her, it means she has fallen out of favor, and she can no longer change the situation. Even if Shao Lian ascends the throne in the future, her fate will be similar to that of Nuo Ge who was sent to the cold palace, and then her life will be really over.

Concubine Wei immediately knelt and crawled to Shao Lian's side, grabbing Shao Lian's clothes, crying, "Your Highness! Your Highness! You can't do this to me! I really didn't harm Sister Liu! All this was done by that lowly maid. I have nothing to do with it! I have been in the Crown Prince's Mansion to accompany Your Highness since I came of age. I am the person who has been with Your Highness the longest. How can you not trust me at all! I am sincere to you and will never tell a lie!"

Shao Lian coldly pulled his clothes from her hands. "Wenhan, you've been with me the longest, so you should know that I wouldn't deal with you this way if I hadn't found anything. So, don't feel wronged. Report this to the Wei family. Even if there's no evidence, I'll tell them the whole story, and they'll know how to handle it."

"But you should also think carefully about what will happen to you and the Wei family if you make this a big deal. I still want to preserve some face and reputation for the Wei family. Your brother will get married in the future, so I will only punish you. If you stay quietly in the yard and don't cause any more trouble, that would be the best. Otherwise, I can't guarantee how the Wei family will be affected by you.

Concubine Wei fell to the side, her expression blank and her face covered with tears.

She was filled with dissatisfaction and resentment, but she couldn't vent it. Just as the other party said, even if the prince had no evidence, her personal maid did something to harm Concubine Liu. In addition, this damn girl had exposed her before she came. Even if she didn't say that she was the mastermind, anyone with a little bit of common sense would know what was going on, and she couldn't deny it.

When she thought that the Wei family would become the focus of discussion in the capital in the future because of her, and it would be a negative one, she couldn't bear to think about how much her parents would hate her. Without her natal family, Concubine Wei would be truly isolated and helpless.

Concubine Wei dared to be so arrogant in the backyard of the Prince's Mansion before, not only because she was the first to enter the backyard, but also because of her good family background. But if her parents knew what she had done, they would definitely announce to the outside world that they would break off the relationship with her. In order not to affect her brother Wei Zhe's marriage and future, they would definitely abandon her. By then, she would very likely become an existence even more miserable than Madam Wen.

In the end, Concubine Wei had no choice but to give up and swallow all the bitter pills herself. Then she quietly retreated into her own yard. Even if someone came to visit her, she would not see them. She just said that she wanted to eat vegetarian food and chant Buddhist scriptures and did not want to be disturbed by anyone.

As for Xiao Cui, she was dragged away and beaten to death.

Many ladies felt something was wrong, because Shang Liang did not hide the fact that he had captured Xiao Cui, and many people saw it. Moreover, when Concubine Wei hurriedly ran to the Prince's study that night, she did not hide it, so many people speculated what happened to Concubine Wei that night. Unfortunately, they could not find out anything. Even if they knew that Xiao Cui, who was beside Concubine Wei, was executed, they did not know why.

When Madam Wen came to visit Yu Ziyin, she told Yu Ziyin about this strange thing. She herself did not know that Concubine Wei and Xiao Cui had poisoned Yu Ziyin, and Yu Ziyin could not tell her. This matter was a scandal of the Wei family after all. Shao Lian told her that according to his investigation, the Wei family did not know about it, and these poisons were obtained secretly by Concubine Wei, so it would be detrimental to the Wei family who supported the prince to publicize it, so only Concubine Wei was dealt with.

Yu Zinyin naturally would not vent her anger on the Wei family. She was very happy that Concubine Wei could stay quietly in her own yard. After all, the other party had poisoned her quietly before, which really scared her. If Yan Yue had not discovered that something was wrong with her, she would have been in trouble.

Speaking of Yan Yue, Yu Ziyin was curious about the current whereabouts of this white moonlight of Shao Lian in the original book, so one day she asked Shao Lian about it. Shao Lian didn't hide anything and said, "I guess she's on trial now?"

It was a fact that Yan Yue rebelled. Not to mention Shao Lian, even the emperor would not let her go easily. Even though she later saved the prince with her medical skills, she still touched the emperor's bottom line. The emperor was unwilling to let her go easily. The officials under him received the emperor's instruction and directly ordered her to be executed in the autumn.
