Chapter 234 What a plot
At this point, if Jiang Wanyue still doesn't realize that she has fallen into a trap, she will have lived her life in vain.
It was obvious that someone had deliberately placed the piece of paper in Li Chengye's hand, waiting for someone to wake him up and then reveal the paper. If someone else caught her, she would not be able to explain herself even if she had a hundred mouths.
There were no outsiders in the courtyard, and there were only three servants in the room. Although it was not a case of men and women staying alone in a room, it was almost the same. These three people were either her confidants or the prince's confidants.
If Hongying got the paper, she would be the witness who discovered her affair with the prince. If she took action against Hongying at this time, someone with ulterior motives would think she was guilty and wanted to kill her to silence her.
What a vicious plan.
Such deep thoughts.
Everything was linked together. He had figured out what Fu Nian and Yun Lan were thinking, knowing that the prince would be drunk, and he had also figured out her thoughts, knowing that she would definitely come over to help the situation.
In fact, the person behind the scenes knew her very well and knew that she would try her best to make the matter as small as possible and leave the palace maids and old women outside.
She also knew Wei Fuxue's identity and taboos, so she specifically asked Princess Ding to come and expose them.
No, this should not have been done by Princess Ding.
There was no need for her to take the risk of offending herself and make this trip in person.
Jiang Wanyue looked coldly at the maid named Hongying.
"Who instructed you to frame me?"
While she was speaking, Princess Ding had already walked up to her. When she heard this, she stopped and looked at the maid who was half-kneeling at the head of the bed with a look of surprise on her face.
Princess Ding was about to ask when she saw the maid suddenly turn around and pounce towards her.
"Princess Ding, please save me! Please save me!"
She cried and kowtowed.
"I really don't know anything! Queen, today's incident has nothing to do with me!"
Her face was covered with tears and she was trembling, as if she had been greatly frightened.
But even so, she still held the paper tightly in her hand.
Jiang Wanyue's face was as gloomy as water.
Princess Ding obviously also noticed that something was wrong with the maid, and her eyes turned to the piece of paper.
The next moment, her pupils shrank.
In an instant, Princess Ding made a decision.
She waved her sleeves and ordered the maid behind her: "Gag this maid and tie her up."
The people she brought with her were all her own servants, so naturally, they listened to her the most.
A maid immediately stepped forward and grabbed Hongying's arm, and the rest of the people gagged her or tied her hands. In a blink of an eye, Hongying was subdued.
Although no one knows what exactly happened, the Dingbei Palace here is full of Tujie people. If this scandal gets out, it will greatly damage the reputation of the Great Zhou.
Princess Ding glanced at Jiang Wanyue and spoke carefully.
"Your Majesty, this maid is outspoken and I don't know what provoked her. I will take her away first and send her back to the palace for punishment later."
After saying that, she knelt down towards Jiang Wanyue, and without waiting for Jiang Wanyue's consent, she waved her hand and had Hongying taken away.
Jiang Wanyue's expression didn't change at all, she just gave an order.
"Please ask the imperial physician to come and check on the prince. He has been tricked and has not woken up for so long. I don't know who is so vicious as to plot a plot against him during his wedding today."
Having said this, she paused and asked Princess Ding in a hesitant tone.
"Why is Mrs. Wang here at this time?"
Princess Ding looked surprised.
"Your Majesty, doesn't the Queen know yet? Something has happened to the Crown Princess."
Jiang Wanyue's eyelids twitched.
"what happened?"
"I don't know exactly. Just now, a servant from Prince Yong's mansion came to tell me that the Crown Princess was frightened and had signs of miscarriage. That person wanted to go see the Crown Prince, but somehow he was thought to be someone with ulterior motives and was driven away. He had no choice but to find us. I was a little worried, so I took the initiative to come and deliver the message."
Princess Ding explained what happened in a few words.
The more Jiang Wanyue thought about it, the more frightened she became.
The Crown Princess showed signs of miscarriage... The messenger was stopped...
It was not surprising that Princess Ding would come to report the news. Now that Prince Ding was the only one left among Li Ce's brothers, Princess Ding's status had risen, and it was most appropriate for her to come forward for such a matter, as others might not be able to see the Crown Prince.
Is the person behind the scenes trying to kill two birds with one stone?
Who is it?
Is he someone from inside the palace or outside?
Jiang Wanyue narrowed her eyes slightly, thoughts flashing through her mind.
Soon, Princess Ding's servants called a doctor over.
At the same time, Mier found the others and led them into the yard to protect their master.
Surprisingly, there was an exception among these people.
"Princess Yunlan?"
Jiang Wanyue raised her eyebrows as she looked at Princess Yunlan who was captured by Qiongzhi and the others.
Princess Yunlan avoided Jiang Wanyue's gaze.
Xing'er leaned close to Jiang Wanyue's ear and whispered, "We found Princess Yunlan ahead. She was holding a strange bottle in her hand. When she saw us, she quickly threw it away. I thought it was strange, so I used the name of the queen to scare her and brought her here."
Jiang Wanyue's thoughts turned, her brows suddenly relaxed, and she began to smile.
"Princess, please go to the side room and rest for a while. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is unconscious and the doctor is treating him."
Princess Yunlan’s eyes widened.
"Ah? What happened to the prince?"
I haven't even given him the medicine yet, and the prince has already fallen down?
Did your brother do this?
No, if my brother did it, he would not have failed to tell me.
Princess Yunlan wrinkled her tall nose and her face was full of confusion.
Jiang Wanyue just looked at her like this, and when she saw the guilt in her eyes turn into confusion, she knew that this matter had nothing to do with her.
No, it’s not that she is unrelated. She must be part of the plan behind the scenes.
Jiang Wanyue raised her hand to gather her hair at the temples and asked the palace maids to take Princess Yunlan to the side room.
She has calmed down.
"Xing'er, go to the front and find Lord Wang. Tell him that the Crown Prince and I are in trouble and ask him to ask the Emperor to come over."
Jiang Wanyue gave orders in an orderly manner.
"Fangzhi, go find Madam Qian right away and ask Captain Ma to check the background of the maidservant named Hongying who is by the Crown Princess' side."
"Lizhi, return to the palace immediately and have the nurses send Xu'er to Concubine De."
"Mi'er, before the emperor comes, go interrogate the eunuch in the room and find out the whole story."
As she finished speaking, the palace maids all looked stern, nodded and left.
Jiang Wanyue took the others and went into the side room to talk to Princess Yunlan.
In the main chamber, Princess Ding sat in the outer room, feeling a little bit awkward and difficult to describe.
Mier bowed generously.
"Princess, that eunuch Hua is about to wake up. Our queen is not in a position to come over, so she ordered this servant to come and question him."
Her frankness made it impossible to refuse her.
Eunuch Hua was originally a eunuch from the palace and a female official beside the queen, so he was qualified to interrogate.
So Princess Ding waved her hand.
"Go!"
Mi'er didn't avoid people. She walked up to Eunuch Hua and spoke directly to him.
"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has been plotted against and is still not awake. You eunuchs should be punished severely!"
Eunuch Hua had just opened his eyes and his mind was still a mess. When he heard these words, it was as if a basin of cold water was poured over him, chilling him to the core.
