Except for Ruan Mianmian, everyone present was from the royal family. Li Ying had not been a normal child since she was two or three years old. The doctors were also helpless. She never went out or even got close to others, so she was so close to Xiaotuanzi.
It quite surprised them.
"Li Ying, come to this palace." The Empress tried to wave to Li Ying, but she shook her head to refuse, and pulled Ruan Mianmian's sleeve tighter, and her expression was nervous and undisguisedly wary.
looking at them.
Afraid of embarrassing the empress, the emperor came to the rescue and said, "That's all, Li Ying likes Mianmian, just let her follow."
"Ruan Mianmian, does Minghui say that wise things have anything to do with you?" Li Gong exuded majesty from head to toe.
The King of Southern Xinjiang is of noble origin. Over the years, his status in Southern Xinjiang can be said to be that of an emperor. After entering the capital, he has always been low-key and restrained, but now he is spreading it out without any concealment. It can be seen that this matter forced him to even bother to cover up.
Not available.
"Your Majesty, your question is very strange. I have no interaction with him." Ruan Mianmian looked at Li Gong calmly, "His affairs have nothing to do with me."
It's rare to see someone who can act as if nothing happened under his majestic suppression, especially when the other person is only a five-year-old baby. If Li Gong didn't believe what Li Minghui said before, now he is somewhat dubious.
Ruan Mianmian saw through Li Gong's thoughts, but she was not willing to hide it. Although her grandfather did not say anything explicitly about the grievances between Li Gong and the emperor, he did say that the emperor was right.
He raised children like Li Mingzhi and Li Minghui, which shows that he is nothing.
"You've got it right." Li Gong turned to Li Minghui, "Do you have any evidence to testify against Ruan Mianmian?"
"Your Majesty, Minghui has a witness." Li Minghui pointed to the maid kneeling by the wall, "Princess Linglong soiled her clothes. Chunhong took her to change her clothes. After examination by the imperial doctor, she found that she had been exposed to Mongolian sweat medicine and there were bruises on her neck.
She was knocked unconscious."
"Based on this, you testify against Mianmian? Ridiculous." Li Yu couldn't help but mock, "I'm still testifying against you."
Chunhong knew that she and Li Minghui were tied together, so she was quite clever: "To inform Your Majesty, this slave was indeed knocked unconscious outside the door. When she woke up, she found herself lying on the ground in the house."
"Also, Gu Ling'an is from the Ding'an Hou Mansion. She must be with Ruan Mianmian, so she is eager to excuse her." It must be said that Li Minghui's mind was spinning very fast.
Ruan Mianmian calmly defended: "Your Majesty, it's because of Gu Ling'an that I soiled my clothes. Yes, it was this maid who took me to change clothes, but I came back after changing clothes."
"Yes, Mianmian took me back." Li Ying suddenly interrupted.
The emperor looked at Li Ying with some surprise: "Have you always been with Mianmian?"
"Yes, I want to follow Mianmian." Li Ying found that everyone's eyes were focused on her and shrank behind Ruan Mianmian in fear, "Mianmian still wants to take me out to play?"
"Ying'er, did you see her just now?" The emperor pointed towards Li Minghui.
"I saw it." Li Ying's eyes were as clear as a clear spring.
The empress and Li Gong immediately understood what the emperor meant. If Ruan Mianmian could lie, then Li Ying would never lie.
Ruan Mianmian glanced at Li Ying. After all, she was careless, but she was not worried about what she would say.
The emperor asked softly: "What did you see her doing?"
"She, she is not aboveboard." Li Ying frowned for a moment but said this.
Li Minghui jumped out and was about to retort, but she didn't expect the emperor, the queen and her father to all look directly at her with sharp eyes. She could only tighten her mouth and dare not say any more.
The emperor continued to ask: "Why is it not just and aboveboard?"
"She and that Miss Gu are here to steal something." Li Ying said while imitating Li Minghui's movements.
"She's talking nonsense." Li Minghui couldn't bear it anymore, "She's a fool, you don't listen to her."
As soon as she finished speaking, Li Minghui knew that she was wrong. Not to mention the emperor, even the empress who had been nice to her before showed a displeased look.
Li Gong sighed in his heart, after all, this daughter was spoiled by him, and he always thought she was smart, but on this occasion, she was clearly a brainless person when she said this in front of the emperor.
Li Minghui didn't know that just because of such a casual remark, her status in her father's mind had dropped sharply.
"Ying'er, tell me, what are they trying to steal?"
"I don't know either, Mianmian dragged me away."
At this point, everyone present could guess that Ruan Mianmian went to change clothes, but after changing, she left with Li Ying.
Not to mention the emperor, even the queen and the king of Nanjiang believed in Li Ying's statement. Anyone could lie, but she would never do it.
Ruan Mianmian snickered secretly. She didn't want Sister Ying to see those unbearable scenes, so the two of them left early, but that was just to bring everyone to watch the show.
Since Li Mingzhi and Li Minghui wanted to ruin her reputation, Ruan Mianmian decided to treat them in their own way.
Ruan Mianmian secretly ordered Jiu'er to make Li Minghui and Gu Ling'an faint.
After questioning, Ruan Mianmian knew that Hong Yu was capable and that Li Mingzhi could not kill him, but poisoning him made him a cripple. From then on, he could only think but not do anything, just like a purified eunuch.
After everything was arranged, Jiuer dragged Li Minghui, Gu Lingan and Chunhong into the house.
Before leaving, Hongyu gave Li Mingzhi another aphrodisiac, and then woke everyone up. Before they opened their eyes, Jiuer flew out of the window with her and fled.
Ruan Mianmian planned a good show and killed two birds with one stone. He not only avenged himself, but also defrauded the King of Southern Xinjiang, Li Gong. However, the appearance of the emperor and the empress was unexpected.
"Your Majesty, Sister Ying is my witness. Besides, if I want to do something, will I take her with me?" Ruan Mianmian asked confidently.
Li Gong, the King of Southern Xinjiang, looked at Ruan Mianmian. He tried to read the clues from that little face, but no matter how he looked, he could not see anything unusual. Maybe this little baby was a newborn calf and was not afraid of tigers. After all, what she said was reasonable.
"The Yi Shou Garden has just been built, so the people inside are inevitably mixed." The emperor turned to Li Gong, "This matter must be investigated to the end."
At this point, Li Gong could only bow his hands and salute: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Seeing that her father no longer wanted to pursue Ruan Mianmian, Li Minghui felt unwilling to do so.
"Uncle Huang, father, is Ruan Mianmian." Li Minghui glared at Xiaotuanzi, "Our brothers and sisters have not made enemies with anyone since we came to the capital. There is only you, and it must be you."
