The Mystic Princess is Too Invincible! The Abstinent and Cruel King Breaks His Rules and Pampers Her
Chapter 78 The Imperial Concubine is a Monster
The Regent's carriage drove out of the city.
inside the carriage.
Looking at Murong Yan's pale and tired face, Jiang Ling poured out two pills and handed them to him, saying, "These are red ginseng pills that I made. They will invigorate you and replenish your energy."
"Thank you." Murong Yan bent down, his thin lips slightly parted, and used the tip of his tongue to take the two red ginseng pills from Jiang Ling's palm.
He did it so naturally.
Jiang Ling was stunned and didn't react. She only felt an amazing burning sensation on the spot on her palm where the tongue had licked her!
"You!" Jiang Ling withdrew her hand, making a loose grasp.
I don't dislike it, it's just a feeling I can't quite put my finger on.
"Yun Jiao is gone?" Murong Yan swallowed the red ginseng pill, and his face visibly regained its color. He looked at Jiang Ling with a smile, casually and lazily starting a conversation.
Jiang Ling pursed her lips and nodded, "A-Jiao went to take care of some business."
Murong Yan was in a great mood!
With a wickedly pleased smile, Murong Yan deliberately asked, "Will he be able to attend our wedding?"
"I don't know." Jiang Ling didn't think Yun Jiao wanted to participate.
She stared at Murong Yan, looking him up and down, and couldn't help but ask, "Murong Yan, are you very concerned about this wedding?"
"Of course! Getting married is a major life event! I only have one in my life! Although time is tight, I will do my best to do my best and not let you down." Murong Yan said, looking at her with his phoenix eyes, which were hot and eager, showing his deep concern and care.
Jiang Ling felt a little uneasy.
She married him to keep her vow.
She had no feelings for Murong Yan, and she was unwilling to admit that Zaizai and Baobao were his children.
Murong Yan, however, gave his true feelings.
"Jiang Ling."
Murong Yan's deep, alluring voice interrupted her thoughts. He looked at her with a smile in his phoenix eyes and said sincerely, "Thank you for accompanying me out of the city. I'm very happy."
"Hmm, where are you going out of the city? Who are you going to see?" Jiang Ling stopped her wild thoughts by following his words.
Upon hearing this, Murong Yan opened the window and pointed in a direction.
His gaze was dark and cold as he explained, "Go to Willow River Village ahead to see an old eunuch. He's the only survivor of the incident where my mother gave me poisoned wine; he might know the truth."
Liuhe Village.
Located near the capital, the village is bustling and prosperous, comparable in size to some small towns.
The Regent's carriage, luxurious and grand, attracted the curious stares of many villagers as soon as it entered the village. A group of children, unafraid of people, chased after the carriage. Murong Yan made a gesture, and immediately the Blood Eagle Guards dismounted and distributed candy to distract the children.
Jiang Ling was surprised by this, "I didn't expect you to like children so much."
"Mm," Murong Yan replied guiltily.
He doesn't like it!
The child just cries and fusses, which is very annoying.
But after having a baby, he wanted to accumulate some good fortune.
Before long, the carriage arrived at its destination.
When Jiang Ling and Murong Yan got out of the carriage, the person inside had already come out to wait for them. It was an elderly man with completely white hair, wearing a silk robe, and with a hunched back, who was frail and sickly.
Upon seeing Murong Yan, the old eunuch immediately trembled and tried to kneel down to pay his respects: "This servant greets the Regent!"
"No need to be polite."
Murong Yan stepped forward to stop the old eunuch and said directly, "I have a few questions, and I hope you can answer them truthfully."
At the same time, Bei Yan stepped forward and opened a small wooden box, which was full of gold ingots.
The old eunuch waved his hands in astonishment, "This servant wouldn't dare! Your Highness, please ask, this servant will answer to the best of my knowledge!"
"Go in and talk."
They entered the old eunuch's house.
The room was clean and simple, and very tidy. The old eunuch humbly explained, "This servant has adopted a godson and daughter-in-law, and I am very grateful for their care. We don't have any good tea at home, so please forgive us, Your Highness and this young lady."
"It doesn't matter."
Murong Yan, being in a wheelchair, did not need a seat.
He waited until Jiang Ling sat down before calmly following her. Bei Yan, ever observant, moved a chair so that Murong Yan could sit next to Jiang Ling as he wished. The old eunuch looked up and couldn't hide his surprise.
Murong Yan looked calmly at the old eunuch with his phoenix eyes: "I heard that when my mother was still a palace maid, she worked under you. Later, when my mother became a concubine, you continued to serve her until the late emperor gave her poisoned wine."
"That night, all the palace maids and eunuchs around my mother were sentenced to death, but you were the only one who was spared because you had been flogged by my mother a few days ago and sent to the laundry department."
"I remember when I was young and confined to the cold palace, lacking food and clothing, someone secretly brought me clothes and food. That person was you!"
The old eunuch was terrified and trembled as he tried to kneel down, but Bei Yan pressed him back down.
Murong Yan shook his head: "Don't be afraid. You have done me a favor, and I will not punish you. I only want to know why my mother was given a death sentence?"
The old eunuch's wrinkled face twitched. He looked at Jiang Ling hesitantly, his eyes trembling.
Murong Yan: "She is my queen consort, listen."
Jiang Ling glanced at Murong Yan, then waved her hand, creating a barrier that enveloped the entire room. With a smile, she reassured the old eunuch, "What you say today, no one but us will know. Speak with confidence!"
The old eunuch gripped the fabric on his legs tightly with both hands, his pupils trembling, and his lips quivering for a long time.
He finally opened his mouth, his voice so soft it was almost inaudible, and said, "Because the Imperial Concubine is a monster."
The room fell into an instant, deathly silence and oppressive atmosphere, making it hard to breathe.
Murong Yan's pupils were as black as ink, and his tone was terrifyingly cold: "What evidence do you have?"
"The servant was originally dead."
The old eunuch had a mournful face. "That day, I offended a noble lady in the palace and was thrown into the lake in the dead of winter. My soul almost left my body. It was the Imperial Concubine who saved me and gave me wealth and honor."
“This servant knew back then that Your Highness was not human. This servant thought that this secret would be kept to the grave! Who knew that someone would expose the Imperial Concubine’s true identity.”
"Her Highness the Imperial Concubine had a premonition and sent me away in advance, instructing me to hide and protect you."
The old eunuch recalled the past, tears streaming down his face, his body trembling uncontrollably.
He was filled with hatred, resentment, and fear, and choked out, "Your Majesty is so cruel! One day you made vows of eternal love to the Empress, and the next day you changed your tune and wanted to kill her!"
Jiang Ling's expression also changed.
It is now 100% certain that Murong Yan's mother is Aunt Mei!
Jiang Ling's voice was icy cold as she angrily pressed, "Who betrayed us?"
The old eunuch shook his head. He was just a servant who had been driven away beforehand, so he didn't know much.
Murong Yan said with a cold and fierce look in his eyes, "It was Consort Zhao! Before I was taken away, Consort Zhao was standing next to him."
Jiang Ling: "Then let's go find this Consort Zhao!"
"She's dead. The year after my mother was ordered to commit suicide, she suddenly fell ill and died. Because she was His Majesty's birth mother, after His Majesty ascended the throne, he posthumously honored her as Empress Dowager Zhao." Murong Yan said, clenching his fists in resentment.
They're all dead, and he can't even avenge his mother!
Heart hurts!
So unwilling!
"Empress Dowager Zhao did not die of illness."
The old eunuch huddled up in terror, trembling as he said, "This servant has seen Empress Dowager Zhao's body. She was hanged. I heard that she became a ghost after she died, and she keeps wandering around the palace crying, refusing to be reincarnated."
Jiang Ling's eyes lit up, and she clapped her hands, saying, "That's great! I can summon the soul!"
