Chapter 567 The Legend of Zhen Huan An Lingrong 24

"Su Peisheng, investigate for me! Investigate thoroughly! I want to see who is so vicious in the harem!" Yinzhen stood up suddenly, and the fine purple clay teapot broke into pieces on the ground, and the tea splashed everywhere.

An Lingrong was startled and huddled in Yinzhen's arms, looking pitiful. "Your Majesty, calm down. It's important to take care of your health. Noble Lady Fucha is blessed by heaven and will be fine."

Yinzhen took a deep breath, suppressed his anger, and gently patted An Lingrong's back.

Yinzhen already has a suspect, the Queen!

If he had found out what she had done over the years, he would have killed her immediately if he hadn't been afraid of the consequences!

"Your Majesty, what's wrong with you?" An Lingrong noticed the change in Yinzhen's mood and asked softly.

Yinzhen came back to his senses, hiding the fierceness in his eyes, replacing it with a gentle expression, and gently stroked An Lingrong's hair: "I'm fine, I'm just thinking about how to find out the mastermind behind this and give an explanation to Noble Lady Fucha."

An Lingrong snuggled in his arms and said softly, "I believe that the emperor will find out the truth and give justice to Noble Lady Fucha."

"Of course," Yinzhen said firmly, "I will never let go of anyone who dares to stir up trouble in the harem!"

An Lingrong's eyes flickered, and she asked casually, "Your Majesty, who do you think it could be?"

Yinzhen stroked An Lingrong's hand and said meaningfully, "I already know what's going on."

An Lingrong's heart tightened. She knew that Yinzhen was suspicious and meticulous. If he suspected her, the consequences would be disastrous. She smiled calmly and said, "I believe that the emperor is wise and will be able to see through everything."

Yinzhen didn't say anything else, but just hugged An Lingrong tightly, as if he wanted to rub her into his body.

In the next few days, Yinzhen launched an investigation with great vigour, and everyone in the harem was worried about getting into trouble.

Su Peisheng was very efficient and arrested the young eunuch in just a few days. This young eunuch was usually unknown, and who would have thought that he would dare to participate in such a conspiracy.

When the young eunuch was brought before Yinzhen, he was so frightened that his face turned pale, his legs went weak, and he fell to his knees with a plop, begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, please spare me! Your Majesty, please spare me! I was just confused for a moment and was deceived!"

Yinzhen sat on the dragon throne, looking down at him, his eyes as sharp as a knife, his voice icy cold: "Tell me! Who ordered you to do this?"

The young eunuch was trembling all over, but he didn't dare to hide anything, and confessed everything at once: "Reply...Reply to the emperor, it was...it was Baojuan. Baojuan gave me a packet of medicine powder and asked me to mix it with the nobleman's pregnancy-preserving medicine..."

"Baojuan?" Yinzhen repeated the name, a hint of doubt flashing in his eyes, and then turned to An Lingrong, with a tone of inquiry: "Rong'er, this Baojuan is..."

An Lingrong's face turned pale instantly, her body trembled slightly, tears welled up in her eyes, and she choked and said, "Your Majesty...I...I don't know...Baojuan is my personal maid, I treat her well, why would she...want to harm Noble Lady Fucha..."

She cried so hard that her eyes were filled with pity, as if she had suffered a great blow.

Yinzhen looked at her like this, and his heart softened. He held her in his arms, gently stroked her back, and said softly, "Don't be afraid, Rong'er. I believe you have nothing to do with this matter. I will investigate this matter thoroughly and clear your name."

An Lingrong leaned on Yinzhen's chest, her tears soaking his dragon robe, but her heart was filled with turmoil. Baojuan was hers, and now that this had happened, she couldn't escape responsibility.

Could it be the Queen? Did the Queen want to take this opportunity to get rid of her?

"Your Majesty, I... I'm scared..." An Lingrong's voice trembled as she clutched Yinzhen's clothes tightly, as if she had grabbed a life-saving straw.

Yinzhen hugged her tighter with heartache and whispered in her ear: "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

His tone was firm, as if giving her unlimited strength.

Then, Yinzhen ordered Baojuan to be brought up. Baojuan was dragged in by the guards, her face was pale and her whole body was trembling. When she saw An Lingrong, a trace of fear and help flashed in her eyes.

An Lingrong turned her head away and didn't look at her, as if she didn't know her. She knew that at this critical moment, she had to draw a clear line between herself and Baojuan in order to protect herself.

"Baojuan, do you admit your guilt?" Yinzhen's voice was cold and without a trace of emotion.

Baojuan fell to her knees with a thud, and kept begging for mercy: "Your Majesty, spare my life! I know my crime! I deserve to die! I was confused for a moment and was deceived by someone!"

"Being deceived? Who deceived you? Tell the truth!" Yinzhen shouted sternly.

Baojuan hesitated for a moment, her eyes flickering, not daring to look directly at Yinzhen.

Baojuan's lips trembled like a leaf swaying in the wind. She secretly raised her eyes to glance at An Lingrong, but saw that she still had her head down, and her tears fell on Yinzhen's dragon robe. She looked so weak and helpless, like a boat drifting in a storm.

Baojuan's heart shuddered, the Queen's threat was still ringing in her ears, but An Lingrong's tearful look made her feel sorry for her.

"Speak!" Yinzhen shouted loudly, frightening Baojuan to death. She suddenly lowered her head and her forehead hit the floor tiles heavily, making a dull sound.

"Your servant... Your servant..." She stammered, with cold sweat on her forehead.

"You are so hesitant! How can you be so disrespectful?" Yinzhen frowned impatiently, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, as if he wanted to see through her.

Baojuan was crying out in pain. The Queen Mother threatened the lives of her family and forced her to say that it was An Lingrong who ordered her to poison. But now Yinzhen was furious, and if she made random accusations, she would probably die a more miserable death.

"Your servant... Your servant was confused for a moment..."

"Confused? How dare you use such an excuse to fool me!" Yinzhen laughed in anger and slammed the table so hard that the teacups in the hall clinked.

Baojuan was so frightened that her whole body trembled. She fell to the ground and shivered, not daring to say another word.

Seeing her like this, Yinzhen was even more certain that there was something else going on. He stood up and walked to Baojuan, looking down at her, and said in a low and dangerous voice: "I will give you one last chance. Who ordered you to do this?"

Baojuan bit her lower lip, blood flowing down the corner of her mouth. She glanced at An Lingrong, and a trace of despair flashed in her eyes.

"Yes... yes..." Her voice trembled, as if all her strength was exhausted.

When An Lingrong heard Baojuan's voice, her body stiffened suddenly. She clenched the handkerchief tightly in her hand, her knuckles turned white, and her heart was beating like a drum.

"Yes... yes..." Baojuan pressed her forehead against the cold floor tiles; sweat and blood mixed together, blurring her vision.
