Chapter 258 What happened to Leng Rumin?
Luo Nianxi officially recognized King Sang and Queen Chun. This not only allowed Queen Chun to resolve the regret she had felt for many years, but also made Pingyang and Xuanyuan the two closest countries.
Not only that, the three children were also loved by King Sang and Queen Chun. They made an agreement with them to go to Xuanyuan City to play whenever they had time, which made the three children very excited.
After staying in the palace for three days, King Sang and Queen Chun were about to set off for their country.
Before leaving, she reluctantly held Luo Nianxi's hand.
"Cao'er, don't forget what you promised me. Bring the children to Xuanyuan Country during the New Year. I will be waiting for you."
Luo Nianxi smiled and nodded heavily.
"Okay, how dare I forget what I promised you? You and daddy should take care of your health."
"Alas! Mother really can't bear to leave you and the children, but the country cannot be without a king for a day. Your father has to go back to handle court affairs. Mother really has no choice!"
"Mom, we have known each other now. Xuanyuan City is only a month's journey from Pingyang Country. You can come whenever you want. If you miss me, just write to me at any time and I will find a chance to visit you."
"Okay, okay, I really don't want to stay with you!"
At this point, Queen Chun began to wipe her tears. Seeing this, King Sang hurried forward to comfort her.
"Okay, it's getting late. We should get on the road. Don't cry in front of the child. It will burden the child."
Queen Chun then forced a forced smile, hugged Luo Nianxi again, and then hugged the three children in turn, then waved to them.
"Goodbye, kids. Grandma is waiting for you in Xuanyuan Country."
The three children also waved goodbye to her and nodded.
"Don't worry, grandma. We will come to find you. You and grandpa should take care of yourselves."
Looking at the three lovely children, Santun and Queen Chun got on the carriage with satisfied expressions and waved goodbye to them.
After the people from Xuanyuan Kingdom left, the imperial palace of Pingyang Kingdom finally returned to peace.
In the Yangxin Palace, Leng Yiyan sat in the main seat, listening to Su Yi coming forward to report,
"Your Majesty, we have verified that Leng Rumin went to the Yangxin Palace the night before the late emperor passed away. Your Majesty fell ill after eating the food she brought."
Leng Yiyan's face turned ashen in an instant.
He clenched his fists and snorted.
"No wonder my father told me not to punish her no matter what before he died. It seems that my father already knew why he died. He was deliberately protecting Leng Rumin."
"So what is the Emperor going to do?"
"Where is Lin Ming? Does he know about these things?"
"He has already left the palace. It is said that he has greeted the Queen."
"Oh? Go and ask the Queen to come over."
These days, she has been accompanying her biological mother, and they haven't sat together and had a good talk for several days.
After Su Yi received the order, she turned around and left. A deep look appeared in Leng Yiyan's eyes, and his fingers kept tapping on the table in front of him.
After a while, Luo Nianxi came quickly.
Even if Su Yi didn't go looking for her, she was going to look for Leng Yiyan.
There were so many things going on these days that she hadn't had time to tell him in detail.
Seeing her come in, he sat up from his chair and went to greet her.
"Madam, Eunuch Lin is gone. Did you know about this?"
"I know, I was so busy these days that I forgot to tell you."
"What did he say before he left? Did he mention what happened on the night of my father's death?"
When she saw him asking, she guessed that he might have found out something.
She nodded solemnly.
"He said that night, Leng Rumin brought dinner to the emperor for the first time. The emperor was very happy and drank some wine. After Leng Rumin left, the late emperor fell ill. The imperial physician came but could not find the cause. The late emperor did not allow him to tell anyone that Leng Rumin had come. It seems that he was intentionally protecting Leng Rumin."
"Father wanted to protect her, but after he died, she didn't even come to pay her respects. She didn't even show up at his burial. Why did Father want to protect such a heartless person?"
"If she had any intention, she wouldn't have done that to her own father."
"In this matter, my lady, what should we do?"
After she pondered for a while, she said:
"Before his father passed away, he not only asked Lin Ming to protect her, but he also used his last breath to ask you to do so. Since his last wish was not to pursue the matter, there is no need for you to pursue it."
"So are we going to let her get away with it? Who can guarantee what a vicious person like her will do in the future?"
His worries were not without reason. If she let him get away with it easily this time, then next time, she would attack anyone she disliked.
With such a big harem and three children, it's impossible to guard against it at all.
Thinking of this, she said with some concern:
"Even if we don't punish her, we should at least give her a warning and let her know that her crimes have long been discovered. We can't let her think that she can do whatever she wants in the harem."
Leng Yiyan nodded in agreement.
"You're right. I never thought that someone like her, who usually keeps quiet, would do such a cruel thing."
From childhood to adulthood, Leng Rumin gave him the impression of being a quiet and gentle person who never had conflicts with others, but he really couldn't understand why she would do such a thing as patricide.
When the two of them arrived at the bedroom where Leng Rumin lived, they heard a burst of cursing before they got close, and Leng Yiyan's brows tightened instantly.
The moment he opened the door, he saw Leng Rumin being grabbed by the hair by a nanny, lying on the ground, chewing the grass.
This scene made him instantly furious. Even if Leng Rumin was wrong in many ways, she shouldn't be bullied by a nanny.
He was so angry that he jumped up and kicked the nanny to the ground.
"You little dog slave, how presumptuous."
As he said this, he looked down at Leng Rumin and saw that she did not get up, but continued to lie on the ground and chew the grass.
"Leng Rumin, what are you doing?"
He shouted angrily, Leng Rumin raised his head, grinned at him, and laughed "hehehe".
"This grass is delicious, try it..."
Leng Yiyan turned to look at the nanny who was kicked to the ground by him and asked harshly,
"How is this going?"
The nanny crawled over from not far away and said aggrievedly:
"Your Majesty, I am innocent. How dare I bully the princess? It is the princess who keeps shouting that she is hungry, but she refuses to eat the food she is given. She insists on eating the grass on the ground. She also says that she is a little lamb who likes to eat grass. If I try to stop her, she will bite me..."
Looking at Leng Rumin who was still lying on the ground chewing the grass, Leng Yiyan believed what the nanny said.
He asked in a deep voice:
"When did she start to be like this?"
"After Consort Xian died, she stayed in her room all day and didn't come out. She could only eat one meal every three days, and she only ate one steamed bun. She suddenly became like this after the emperor passed away."
"During this period, has anyone come to see her?"
Mammy just shook her head.
"No, Concubine Xian is gone, and her status in the palace has plummeted. The servants are avoiding her as much as possible. Who would come to see her?"
"Then...she went out the night before the emperor passed away?"
"He went out and didn't let my old slave follow him, but he came back soon."
Listening to the nanny's answer and their investigation, they can roughly judge that Leng Rumin poisoned the late emperor without being instructed by anyone, it was her personal behavior.
