Chapter 246: Yan Wan is protected by the cubs
Yan Wan was shocked. She really didn't know Jing Se had done such a thing.
Just as she was about to speak, the Queen Mother secretly signaled Yan Wan to shut up.
Then Fuga came with mushrooms in his hands.
The Queen Mother pointed at Hongmei and said:
"Is this the mushroom you are talking about?"
Hongmei nodded without hesitation and said:
"Yes, that's it. When the princess found out, she specifically told me about it. She said she would investigate it more carefully. Who would have thought that the imperial concubine poisoned the princess first?"
Hongmei spoke with sincerity and cried bitterly. In addition, she was old now, with gray hair, which made this old slave look so pitiful.
Yanwan sat on a small stool, her mind in a turmoil. She never thought that she was plotting against Jingse, but who would have thought that it was Jingse plotting against her.
Yan Wan couldn't bear it this time and wanted to explain, but she heard Yong Yan's voice.
"Royal Grandmother."
"Eniang."
Yongyan came in at some point. After greeting everyone, the empress dowager nodded at him and asked him to come over.
Although Yongyan was only three years old, he was more sensible than most children. He said to Hongmei with dignity and righteousness like a little adult:
"You said that my mother poisoned the princess, and you also recognized that this mushroom is poisonous.
I guess you are also very clear about the process of Auntie being poisoned?"
Hongmei didn't take the three-year-old Yongyan seriously, but Yongyan was standing at eye level with her while she was kneeling, and the seriousness in Yongyan's eyes made Hongmei dare not underestimate him.
Said a word.
"Yes."
Yongyan nodded and sat on the small stool prepared by the empress dowager. When Yongyan sat down, he pulled his clothes and sat upright, just like a prisoner being interrogated.
"Then tell me what happened."
"When you point out someone, there must be a process."
Yongyan mentioned the Empress Dowager. Although Hongmei was afraid of Yongyan, she still looked at the Empress Dowager. She cared more about the Empress Dowager's attitude.
The Queen Mother said calmly:
"Go ahead. I want to hear it, too."
Hongmei responded silently, thankful that she had prepared. So she was about to speak. Just as Hongmei was about to open her mouth, Yongyan asked first.
"When did the plan start?"
Yongyan remained silent after asking the question. Hongmei saw that the empress dowager had no other intentions, so she had to answer according to Yongyan's question.
"The plan started three years ago. Three years ago, after Ling Yunche's death, Ulanara's mental state became unstable.
It was also at that time that the Ulanara family could drink mushroom soup or dishes every day. "
"At first, it was just one mushroom, then I slowly increased the amount to three, four, and finally five."
Yongyan hummed in response to Hongmei's words and continued to ask:
“Who is involved in the plan?”
Hongmei thought about it for a moment.
"The imperial chef who prepares food for Ulanara and the guards of Yikun Palace. The imperial chef is the Imperial Concubine's man. The guards are being used."
The direction of Hongmei's words was very clear. Yongyan asked calmly.
"Those guards also secretly withheld food from Ulanara. Did you know, aunt?"
"know."
Hongmei gave the answer without hesitation.
Hongmei said this very naturally and did not notice anything strange in the empress dowager's eyes.
Yongyan suppressed the turmoil in his heart and continued:
“How was the plan implemented?”
"The people in the imperial kitchen fed Ulanara too many mushrooms, and took advantage of the drunken guards to give Ulanara a chance to escape. That's why Ulanara went crazy and killed the princess."
Hongmei was very excited when she said this, and her body stood up straight with excitement. She looked at Yanwan.
Yan Wan loosened the handkerchief that she had tightly grasped in her hand, and a smile appeared on the corner of her lips.
Yongyan ignored Hongmei's excitement and took advantage of her excitement to say:
"Why do you have to choose this day to do it?"
Hongmei didn't understand why Yongyan asked this question. She didn't answer this question. After hesitating for a while, she said:
"Maybe, maybe today is a special day."
"What special day?"
Yongyan's questioning made Hongmei's eyes evasive.
"My servant, I don't know."
Yongyan sneered.
"Don't you know? I remember it very clearly. Today is the anniversary of Seventh Brother's death.
You are the one serving the elder sister, how could you not know?
If you didn't know, how could you be dressed in white? And my elder sister, who usually likes luxurious people, is also dressed in white today.
Isn't this specially done for Brother Seven?"
Hongmei's body began to tremble uncontrollably.
After so many years, many people in the palace have forgotten about this incident, but how come Yongyan, a little kid, remembers it?
Hongmei refused to admit it.
"I don't know what the Fifteenth Prince is talking about. I am old and don't like bright clothes. As for the princess, she can wear whatever she likes.
Fifteenth Prince is overthinking.
Isn't it disrespectful to Prince Daomin for the Fifteenth Prince to mention him on a day like this and to question him?
Prince Daomin is the seventh brother of the fifteenth prince."
"Well, if you say it's not, then it's not.
I thought that my eldest sister missed her seventh brother and asked the lama to prepare the ritual in Anhua Hall. Now it seems that I misunderstood. I told the lama not to wait. "
"you……"
Hearing that Yongyan was going to offend Yongcong, Hongmei subconsciously spoke out in anger. But the next moment, Hongmei realized that something was wrong.
"Fifteenth Prince, even if the princess is concerned about Seventh Prince, it is her duty. It has nothing to do with what happened today.
The Seventh Prince is someone who has long been forgotten. The princess wants to pay tribute to the Seventh Prince, but she doesn't want the emperor to be sad, nor does she want others to know. This is always possible."
Yongyan looked at Hongmei with interest. She reacted very quickly and stopped calling Yongcong "Prince Daomin" so quickly.
"Indeed, Yongyan didn't say that this incident had anything to do with my elder sister's murder. I just discovered this incident and wanted to offer my condolences to my seventh brother."
Hongmei was silent. Yongyan asked a question that was not related to the matter for a long time. It seemed that she was excited. Hongmei gradually calmed down and did not speak, just waiting for Yongyan to ask again.
Yongyan saw that Hongmei was on guard, so he reached out and took the mushroom that Fujia had asked her to identify at the beginning.
"Aunt, you're saying that it was these mushrooms that made the Ulanara family crazy, right?"
Yongyan held the mushrooms very close to Hongmei.
It was so close that Hongmei could smell the faint Tibetan fragrance on the mushrooms.
Hongmei frowned, knowing that something bad was going to happen.
With a roll of her eyes, Hongmei stood up and was about to crash into the pillar beside her.
"Fourteenth brother, sixteenth brother, she wants to commit suicide, stop her."
Hongmei failed to commit suicide, but Yanwan's children, Jingyun, Jingyun, Xiaoshisi and Xiaoshiliu all came.
The person who spoke just now was Jingxuan, and the ones who held Hongmei down were the Fourteenth Prince and the Sixteenth Prince.
Jingyun walked up to Hongmei and pinched her.
"Mammy, you want to harm my mother, but you can't."
"Yes."
Yan Wan and the other children followed suit and smiled at Yan Wan.
Yongyan looked at his brothers and sisters' performance and a trace of helplessness appeared on his little face.
Righteous words and Hongmei said:
"It's time for you to tell the truth."
