These two people really couldn't keep their temper. They couldn't wait for the emperor to deal with their little brother before the right and wrong were found out. Ruan Mianmian could see through the thoughts of the queen and the noble concubine Xian.
"Your Majesty, can I wait outside for my little brother?" Ruan Mianmian's eyes wandered.
"We may have to chat for a long time, so you'd better go back first." The emperor advised.
At this moment, Ruan Mianmian is just a willful little baby: "I don't want it."
Next to him, Eunuch Kang was shocked: "Princess! Don't make any mistakes before the Emperor."
The emperor's expression changed, but when he saw Ruan Mianmian's tearful expression but stubbornness to endure his grievances, he couldn't bear it, and even his words were extremely gentle.
"Little brother doesn't want you here."
"Then the emperor will let my little brother come in. If he lets me leave, I will leave immediately." The meaning of Ruan Mianmian's words was obvious.
Concubine Xian couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, are you just going to let this little kid do whatever you want?"
"Your Majesty doesn't allow you to mess around." Ruan Mianmian retorted unceremoniously.
Hearing this, a smile flashed across the emperor's face, and the little doll actually spoke his mind.
"Forget it, let Yu'er come in." The emperor said as he led Ruan Mianmian to the chair, "Sit down, don't interrupt, and wait obediently."
"Okay, thank you Your Majesty." Ruan Mianmian gave the Emperor the brightest smile.
He smiled with tears still in his eyes. The emperor couldn't help but sigh, the little baby is so innocent and cute.
After Li Yu entered the door, he was stunned for a moment when he saw Ruan Mianmian, and then he came back to his senses and respectfully saluted and said hello.
"Little brother, don't drive me away." Seeing Li Yu turning in his direction, Xiao Naituanzi said first.
Originally, Li Yu wanted to find a reason to send Ruan Mianmian away. She was still so young and he didn't want her to see all the ugliness in the palace.
When he noticed that Xiaonuituanzi was winking at him, Li Yu thought about it and gave up.
The emperor glanced at Li Yu and said, "Really, there is nothing you can do if you meet a little baby."
"Put aside the unimportant matters for the time being. Is it time for His Royal Highness to give an explanation to this concubine today?" Concubine Xian couldn't help but stand up. Her precious son was still awake.
"Concubine Xian, let me say it again, the poisoning of the eldest brother has nothing to do with me. I have never thought about it, let alone harmed my brothers and sisters." Li Yu said with his head held high.
Ruan Mianmian said nothing. She sat obediently on the chair and observed everyone's expressions.
"The poison that your eldest brother was poisoned by, the poison in the hands of the poisoner came from the young eunuch of Yongtai Palace." Concubine Xian accused fiercely.
"The young eunuch of Yongtai Palace is dead." Li Yu was very calm.
"Yes, there is no proof. Even though His Highness is young, he is really cruel and ruthless." After speaking, Concubine Xian glanced at the Queen, intentionally or unintentionally.
Ruan Mianmian was keenly aware that when the Queen heard the four words "cruel and ruthless", she looked at Li Yu with complicated eyes, mixed with deep disgust.
Li Yu turned to the emperor and said: "Father, everything must be done with purpose. The eldest brother and my son have no conflicts or disputes."
"You are just jealous of your eldest brother." The noble concubine blurted out without thinking.
Li Yu straightened his body: "What the noble concubine Xian said is wrong. In terms of status, qualifications and even knowledge, although Yu'er may not be better than others, but compared with the eldest brother..."
He hesitated to speak, but everyone present understood what Li Yu meant.
Phew, Ruan Mianmian couldn't help but laugh. The little brother was so tough. These words were clearly a response to the fact that the eldest prince was not as good as him in anything, so there was nothing to be jealous of.
The laughter of Xiaonuituanzi fell into everyone's ears, and both the emperor and Eunuch Kang couldn't help but smile.
The empress looked at Ruan Mianmian, and she had to admit in her heart that what Li Yu said made some sense.
Concubine Xian suddenly turned to look in the direction of Ruan Mianmian, but said nothing.
"My dear concubine, before my father, you must have evidence when you speak." Li Yu's eyes suddenly became sharp.
His Highness the Crown Prince has always given people the impression of being a soft persimmon. Suddenly seeing his sullen face and even his eyes looking majestic, Concubine Xian couldn't help being shocked. There was a child less than ten years old in front of her. He was clearly a child.
The Crown Prince.
Only then did the Queen speak: "Since I am a young eunuch in your palace, it is unreasonable to say that I have nothing to do with you."
Ruan Mianmian frowned, the Queen was holding her little brother back, and her little brother could not be bullied.
"Little brother, how long has the little eunuch been serving you? Do you know who he interacts with on weekdays?" Ruan Mianmian asked with curiosity on his face.
"That little eunuch has just been in Yongtai Palace for a few months." Li Yu shook his head, "I don't know who he interacts with on weekdays, but he was from Lingfang Palace before."
"Has your Majesty asked someone to check on this little eunuch?" Xiao Tiao Tuanzi's soft and cute voice was completely inconsistent with the sophistication in her words.
The emperor nodded slightly, suddenly feeling that the little doll was not all nonsense, and the question was a bit interesting.
"You have to ask Eunuch Kang about this. He is the chief steward of the palace."
Eunuch Kang took a few steps forward and said loudly: "I have checked. The young eunuch Shunzi has only been in Yongtai Palace for half a year. Before that, he served in Lingfang Palace. He was punished for making mistakes. The eldest princess disliked him. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince passed by to see him.
It was a pity that he stayed with me."
"It turns out to be a story about a farmer and a snake, and it seems he deserves it." Ruan Mianmian said with a smile.
The little baby is really in the way. No matter whether Li Sheng's matter is related to Li Yu or not, Concubine Xian plans to rely on him.
Throughout the dynasties, either heirs or elders were established, but Li Yu was Li Sheng's biggest rival. Sensing that the emperor's expression changed again and again, Concubine Xian couldn't help but make a note of Ruan Mianmian's thoughts.
The empress did not expect that the young eunuch would get involved with Lingfang Palace. She said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, Ling'er has been thinking behind closed doors recently and has no idea about these messy things."
"Really?" Li Yu said in an aggressive tone, "The imperial sister has not left Lingfang Palace, but she is very well-informed. After her mother visited her yesterday, she went to Yongtai Palace to investigate the crime."
Yes, Li Ling did tell her the news about Li Yu's murder of Li Sheng. An idea flashed through the queen's mind, but she immediately denied it and ignored it.
Did the little brother suspect that Li Ling was doing something, or was it confirmed? The little girl noticed that the corner of Li Yu's mouth was slightly taunting.
"After finding this little eunuch, the clues were interrupted." Eunuch Kang bowed.
In the palace, there are many such things. Anyway, there is no evidence to prove it, so it can't be settled.
"Your Majesty, Sheng'er hasn't woken up yet. I implore you to severely punish the person behind the scenes." As she spoke, Concubine Xian's eyes were fixed on Li Yu, and the implication was obvious.
Li Yu calmly took a step forward: "Father, the little eunuch is dead, and the clues are interrupted. However, I think the poison that the eldest brother was poisoned by is a bit strange, so last night I asked Wan Mo to conceive Wan Shenzhen.
Entering the palace quietly, we can find out some clues."
