"But the princess is lying on the bed now, and she still has the diagnosis and treatment of the imperial doctor!" Yu Qiao said urgently, pointing to Li Wanwan excitedly, "We just found the little maid next to this woman in the warehouse. , she secretly went into the warehouse and exchanged the princess’s medicine, wasn’t this intentional on her part?”
Hearing this, the woman who was sobbing on the bed was obviously stunned for a moment.
Yu Qiao didn't give her a chance to make excuses, and sternly asked the maid behind her to bring the little girl caught in the warehouse.
When the little girl was brought over, her cheeks were already purple from the cold, with two traces of tears hanging on her face, and she looked very miserable.
"elder sister……"
She saw Li Wanwan and struggled to crawl over.
On the way here, Yu Qiao had already told her that Li Wanwan was not a lady, but the daughter of a shop owner in a small town.
A few months ago, Li Wanwan was spotted by a large local landowner on the street. The landowner was over fifty years old, fat and had just married his eighth concubine. Naturally, Li Wanwan was not willing to marry someone like this. When they resisted, their parents were injured.
A relative of Gu Xuanyi happened to be going to the capital for business. Seeing how miserable Li Wanwan was, he took Li Wanwan with him to the capital. He originally wanted to report to the government, but unexpectedly he ran into Gu Xuanyi.
After learning what happened to the Li family, Gu Xuanyi personally went to the government to handle the matter.
After everything was settled, Li Wanwan didn't want to go back and stayed in the capital on the grounds of being unwell.
Li Wanwan and Gu Xuanyi were neighbors when they were children. The two were childhood sweethearts. When he was a child, Gu Xuanyi had a naughty temper. He could not calm down and study hard at all. He often sneaked to the back hill to play. If he came home late, he would be scolded by his parents.
Li Wanwan felt sorry for him and often went to the mountains alone to look for him. Once, in order to save him, he accidentally fell into a river and almost drowned. From that time on, Li Wanwan's status in Gu Xuanyi's heart was different. He had also vowed to marry Li Wanwan when he grew up. Later, when he got the imperial examination, he was favored by Princess Anyang, who was favored in the palace, and ignored him. He wished to ask the emperor for marriage, which ended all his hopes.
Although there is no possibility between him and Li Wanwan now, he is certainly more willing to believe in his savior than the unruly princess who ruined his future.
"Brother Gu, I really don't know anything."
Li Wanwan's eyes were filled with tears, "The warehouse is an important part of the princess's mansion. How dare I sneak in? Xiao Ke... Xiao Ke is even less afraid."
When she said this, she looked a little hesitant.
Xiao Ke saw the look in her eyes and immediately knelt on the ground and begged for mercy, "Sister, I really didn't change the medicine. I, I just went in to take a look. I woke up this morning and found that the door over there was not closed, so I wanted to take a look. Look where it is, and after I entered it, I realized it was a warehouse."
"Sister, everything I said is true!"
"You still dare to lie!?" Yu Qiao was about to be killed. She really didn't expect that these people were so thick-skinned and could deny any evidence!
She took out the evidence and said, "How do you explain these? Doctor, come and tell the consort, have these medicinal materials been changed? The princess was vomiting blood precisely because of eating these medicinal materials, and the medicinal materials were replaced by this cheap girl!"
Xiao Ke's face suddenly lost all color, and his eyes were filled with fear.
Li Wanwan bit her lip lightly, glanced at Xiao Ke quickly, and put on a pitiful look, "Xiao Ke, what on earth did you do? Didn't you tell me that you were going out to get breakfast?"
When Xiaoke heard her asking, her eyes became even more desperate.
Li Wanwan asked because she had no intention of helping her.
She and Li Wanwan are not in a master-servant relationship. Li Wanwan's parents are both good people in the town. They adopted her when she was an orphan and almost starved to death. Over the years, she has been serving Li Wanwan sincerely. Wanwan wanted to repay the Li family's father for his upbringing in this way.
Naturally, Li Wanwan hinted her to change the dressing, but she didn't say it explicitly.
Although Xiao Ke has never been to school, she also knows that the government will pay attention to evidence when handling cases. She has no evidence and no one will believe her no matter what she says.
Even if she had evidence in her hands, she wouldn't be able to betray Li Wanwan. Li Wanwan is the only daughter of Daddy Li. Daddy Li has given her life-saving and nurturing grace...
Thinking of this, Xiao Ke had already burst into tears, trembling and afraid to speak.
Li Wanwan had long thought that Xiao Ke didn't dare to say anything at all, so she lowered her head and raised the corners of her lips slightly. Looking up again, there were tears in her eyes, "Xiao Ke..."
Hearing her voice, Xiaoke trembled even more, but still dared not say a word.
She knew that no one in the princess's palace liked Li Wanwan, and she was afraid that if she said too much, she would make many mistakes. Anyway, the crime was already pinned on her head.
"You still haven't said who instigated you, right?" Yu Qiao saw her appearance and immediately thought that this little girl would sacrifice herself to save Li Wanwan.
Thinking of this possibility, her indifferent tone was filled with anger, "Conspiracy to murder the princess is a serious crime that affects the nine clans. Do you think it's okay if you don't say anything?"
"Kill the Nine Tribes?" Xiao Ke suddenly raised his head, but soon muttered with a gloomy look, as if he was relieved, "But I am an orphan, I don't have any relatives at all..."
"you--"
Yu Qiao was about to be pissed off. Just when she was about to say a few more words, Gu Xuanyi, who was standing next to her, said coldly, "I will hand this matter over to the government. If Xiao Ke really did something to murder the princess, the government will naturally handle it." , Yu Qiao, you are just a maid, do you care too much?"
"What does Prince Consort mean?"
Yu Qiao's eyes turned red with anger.
She was indeed a maid, but Princess Anyang treated her very well and never treated her as a servant. No one had ever spoken to her like Gu Xuanyi.
Judging from this man's tone, he had no intention of finding out the matter for her princess at all. Such a person turned out to be the prince's consort!
Princess Anyang used to like Gu Xuanyi and follow him wherever he went. She always secretly inquired about his preferences and then made arrangements for him.
It's just that Princess Anyang forgot that she was the most favored princess in the palace, and even the emperor regarded her as his own sister. Her pursuit of Gu Xuanyi all day long was quickly reported to the emperor.
Thinking that Princess Anyang was already of marriageable age, and that the general's description of Princess Anyang and Gu Xuanyi were too ambiguous, the emperor granted them marriage with a wave of his hand.
Her princess mistakenly thought that it was the emperor who Gu Xuanyi had taken the initiative to find. When she knew the truth, Gu Xuanyi was already kneeling in the imperial study room begging the emperor to take back the imperial edict.
But the imperial edict has been issued, how can it be easily withdrawn?
Princess Anyang is also a proud person, how can she allow her engagement to be annulled like this? She found the emperor, accepted the imperial edict, and held a wedding ceremony with Gu Xuanyi.
