Chapter 135 I Wasn't the One Who Hurt Cousin
Chapter 135 The person who hurts my cousin is not me
Song Baoling did not sit still and waited for death. She looked for an opportunity to change the things in her sachet. She thought she could escape this, but not long after, Song Baochai was completely unwell and finally fell into a coma.
"The Lord is here!"
The palace ladders knelt down to greet him, and Song Baoling, who was guarding the inner hall, was also among them. She looked up and saw Jun Tingsheng coming, and couldn't help but feel a little strange.
"How is Concubine Song?"
"Sir, the Empress suddenly fell into a coma for some reason and has not woken up yet."
Jun Yelan had already walked to the bed and looked at Song Baochai who had closed her eyes, "What happened? Why did Concubine Song fall into a coma?"
Before the imperial physician could reply, Song Baochai's personal maid Lin'er suddenly pointed at Song Baoling: "It's her, it must be her conspiring to murder my empress."
Song Baoling pointed at himself with a puzzled look on his face, "Did you say I was murdering my cousin?"
Seeing this, Jun Tingsheng, who was standing beside him, said sternly: "This matter is of great importance. Don't talk nonsense in front of the saint."
"I don't talk nonsense, I'm just saying it's true."
Song Baoling raised his eyebrows and eyes lightly. Although she had guessed that she would be plotted, she was too lazy to argue with Lin'er now.
"It's not me who hurt my cousin, but... Concubine Leng."
As soon as these words came out, Jun Yelan was shocked, "What's going on?"
"Master, I..."
Unexpectedly, as soon as Song Baoling said that Lin'er knelt forward, she crawled forward: "Master, this is the sachet my aunt carried with me. It has never happened before, but..."
"But the Lord Jingling changed the contents in the sachet. It was because of this that my Empress fell asleep and asked the Emperor to make the decision for the Empress."
Upon hearing this, Jun Yelan's eyes swept towards Song Baoling like a sharp blade, "Is what she said true?"
Song Baoling bowed without being humble and arrogant, and explained calmly: "When returning to the emperor, Concubine Song would fall into a coma, not because of the sachet, but because of the bead hairpin given by Concubine Cold."
When Lin'er heard this, she immediately denied: "You are talking nonsense! It's clear that you are jealous of my concubine and secretly replaced the sachet!"
"I said, your empress is sleeping because of the bead hairpin, not a sachet."
Both sides had their own opinions, and Jun Yelan was upset when he heard this, so he directly shut up.
"Doctor Wang, you can check these two things to see which makes Concubine Song have symptoms of sleepiness."
"Yes, Lord."
Doctor Wang took both items and then began to check them one by one. During this period, Lin'er kept staring at him nervously. On the other hand, Song Baoling stood there with a calm look on his face.
Jun Yelan saw the changes in their expressions. Since Song Baoling performed a scene of saving his father in front of him last time, he felt that this little girl was not simple.
"After Master, after inspection, the bead hairpin was covered with medicine powder, and this medicine powder could penetrate into the body of Concubine Song from the scalp, causing the empress to fall into a coma."
The words of the Imperial Doctor Wang shocked Lin'er, and she shook her head in panic, "Impossible! How could it be a pearl hairpin? It's clear that there is something wrong with the sachet, it's impossible..."
Seeing this, Jun Tingsheng ignored Jun Yelan's presence and asked directly: "Tell me, who instructed you to frame the Lord Jingling?"
"Concubine Song is pregnant with the priest's descendants. If there is a half-thinking mistake, she will definitely not be able to spare you! Why don't you tell me what you know!"
Jun Yelan, who was sitting aside, was staring at Lin'er, and his expression seemed to have guessed something on his face. Song Baoling glanced at him and didn't say anything.
"Tell me quickly, who did you have instructed me?"
Faced with Jun Tingsheng's aggressive questioning, Lin'er just stared at Song Baoling with reluctance, and bit her tongue and committed suicide before everyone could react.
"Stop her!"
Song Baoling hurriedly stepped forward to stop him, but he was still one step too late and could only watch Lin'er fall in front of her.
Once Lin'er dies, it will be difficult to find out the real murderer, and the matter may be related to the empress dowager, which is even more difficult.
"Master, since the imperial physician has found out that there is something wrong with the pearl hairpin, why not call Concubine Leng to confront her in public."
However, Jun Yelan did not seem to be in a hurry to find the real murderer. He just asked the imperial physician Song Baochai about the situation, and then asked someone to carry Lin'er's body down.
"I know everything about today. Now your suspicion has been ruled out, and I have my own arrangements for the rest."
"But it is related to the priest's descendants, I think it's better to find out as soon as possible. Just ask Concubine Leng to come over and ask."
"I know you care about Concubine Song, but you heard what the imperial physician said just now that Concubine Song was not seriously injured, so you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, I will deal with it."
Seeing that Jun Yelan said a few words to make a big deal smaller, Song Baoling wanted to fool things up, and now he wanted to fool them directly. He was a little anxious: "Master, this matter is clearly..."
"Ling'er!"
Jun Tingsheng suddenly stepped forward to interrupt her, then leaned over to Jun Yelan to salute: "The Lord of Justice forgives his sins, Ling'er is a little stubborn, and she accidentally bumps into the Lord of Justice."
"But I seem to be shocked when I see Ling'er. When I entered the palace today, I met Mr. Xuanping again by chance. He was very worried about Ling'er. I wonder if the emperor would ask me to send Ling'er back to the Song Mansion to visit my family?"
Jun Yelan looked back and forth on the two of them, and after a moment, he whispered: "Marquis Xuanping misses his daughter, why can't I be polite? Just send the Lord Jingling back to the mansion to stay for one night."
"I thank the priest for your kindness."
The situation is not delayed at the moment. After receiving Jun Yelan's permission, Jun Tingsheng immediately took Song Baoling away.
After the two of them came out of Baohua Palace, Song Baoling was still a little angry, "Why are you stopping me?"
Jun Tingsheng stopped and turned around, looked at her indignant look, and sighed helplessly: "You were too reckless just now. Didn't you see that the emperor was interested in killing?"
Upon hearing this, Song Baoling subconsciously was stunned, "What's the intention to kill?"
"Even if the matter today was done by Concubine Leng, the power behind her was difficult to defend. The emperor had to take care of the court, and it was even more impossible for Song Baochai to touch her just because of her."
"So even though the emperor already knows that the master behind the scenes is Concubine Leng, it is because of her power that she doesn't want to continue pursuing?"
"Not only that, when the maid pointed out that there was something wrong with the sachet, I saw that the emperor was not surprised at all. Obviously, he knew who this play was for today."
After Jun Tingsheng reminded him, Song Baoling suddenly remembered that the sachet was given by the empress dowager. Jun Yelan could not have known about this matter, so he didn't want to investigate again. Could it be for the empress dowager?
If you continue to investigate, you will inevitably find the empress dowager. At that time, it will probably lead to rumors and affect the government.
"Okay, don't think so much. I'll send you back first, and I'll talk about everything when I go back."
Unexpectedly, before they could return to the Song Mansion, the empress dowager's verbal decree came, and Xuan summoned the two of them to the palace immediately.
