The concubine is also very good today

Chapter 53 Confession
"Of course I can understand. Master Li is also trying to get justice for Editor Lin as soon as possible. It's just that I've been feeling chills recently, and I've been taking medicine to recuperate at the mansion. If you don't believe me, you can ask the lady Hua at the mansion. Mom, I really can't stay here for too long."

The jailer replied: "Princess, don't worry, Master Li will be here soon."

As the jailer was talking, two guards nearby went to ask Li Yuan to come over. If something happened to Xu Ruyi, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Sure enough, after a while, Li Yuan quickly walked towards Xu Ruyi's position.

Xu Ruyi knew that she was relying on Empress Dowager Jiang's power now, and she was also a prominent figure in the harem. These people dared not do anything to her without conclusive evidence.

Li Yuan bowed to Xu Ruyi, sat down respectfully across from Xu Ruyi, and said, "Princess, it's really an honor for the officials to come to this kind of place."

Xu Ruyi said with a sad face: "I also hope to be able to help. After all, I have visited editor Lin twice a few days ago at the Queen Mother's order. Maybe I can provide some clues."

Xu Ruyi's proactive attitude reassured Li Yuan a lot. After all, he was also worried that if these nobles were innocent, he would offend them if he was a little careless.

"First of all, I am very grateful to the princess for her understanding and cooperation." Li Yuan thanked her first, and then continued: "Then, please tell me about the process of meeting Editor Lin twice?"

Xu Ruyi elaborated earnestly: "The first time I went to see editor Lin, I went to the garden with him on a whim. At that time, we admired the flowers and wrote a poem together. We were still drinking tea together. The tea was newly bought by Editor Lin. I took a sip and it tasted quite mellow. At that time, I only wanted to enjoy the scenery and talk with him. I can give the aunt an explanation. Unexpectedly, before the scene was finished, the mansion ran to tell the third son-in-law with a broken mouth. Speaking of this, I have to say, these servants of their family really didn’t give Bengong left a trace of goodwill. I am afraid that the rumors that have been spread have added fuel and jealousy. The third son-in-law was angry and came to the door of the Prime Minister's mansion, but the servant refused to open the door. At that time, there was a little conflict and the door of the Prime Minister's mansion was smashed. By the way , Jing Shizi was also in the garden at the time, and he has been staying with Editor Lin in the Prime Minister's Mansion recently, and he can testify that what I said is true."

The jailer beside Li Yuan quickly recorded Xu Ruyi's words, and Li Yuan continued to ask, "What's next? What kind of conflict happened after the door was smashed?"

Xu Ruyi replied: "That was a misunderstanding. The third son-in-law also heard the slander at the time and was afraid that something would happen to the palace. He was just a child, reckless and rash. Editor Lin was also generous and didn't care about the third son-in-law." , the two quickly reconciled. So we went back with Jing Shizi."

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Go ahead."

"After returning home, I always felt that the third son-in-law was too reckless, and I couldn't just smash the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion just because I was jealous! The more I thought about it, the more I felt bad, it was really rude, so I went to Ask Jing Shizi when he will go to the Prime Minister's Mansion, if we go together, the third son-in-law probably won't have so many worries. Then, a day later, Bengong and Jing Shizi went to the Prime Minister's Mansion together."

Li Yuan interrupted her, and asked suddenly: "That is to say, when you went to the Prime Minister's Mansion these two times, Prince Jing was always by your side?"

Xu Ruyi replied: "Yes, he basically never left my sight. When he left, he also came back with us."

"Then why did he come back with you? He is different from you. You are just visiting, and he is investigating the case. You have no reason to travel together."

"I don't know much about this. I just thought I was on the way, so I came back with him. And when I went there for the second time, I thought that Jing Shizi always ran to the Prime Minister's mansion anyway, so why not go with him?" Go, lest the son-in-law lose his temper at home. Who would have thought that if he went with Prince Jing, he would not agree, and would go on a hunger strike at home. At that time, Ben Gong was angry and had no choice, so he simply went back to the palace and told the eldest lady that there was nothing the palace could do. Let's visit him again. At this time, editor Lin said that he was almost ready to go to court, so I went directly to the palace. What happened later, I don't know, anyway, I have been in Ci'an Palace for the past two days. "

The jailer nodded and recorded seriously.

At this time, Xu Ruyi suddenly remembered something again, and continued: "By the way, my lord, you should know that Editor Lin has always gone to the Ci'an Palace to pay his respects to the aunt, and the aunt is a treasurer of talent. He is a talented person with three elements, so if there is anything that needs to be quoted from the scriptures in Da Niang's calligraphy and painting, Lin will be edited and marked for appreciation. Although this kind of thing happened, Da Niang didn't say it, but she felt sorry for it in her heart. Yes, she didn't sleep the whole night last night, and Ben Gong had to ask her to take some soothing soup. So if you have any questions, you can ask Ben Gong as much as you can, and don't disturb the aunt these two days .”

"Princess, don't worry, we still know this truth."

Xu Ruyi nodded and continued: "That's about all I know. There are some details that I may not be able to think of. You can remind me. It's better for me to think about it."

Li Yuan looked at the book that recorded Xu Ruyi's confession, and said, "Did the princess see Lin Xiuxiu during the two days when he returned to court?"

"I've seen it once. When he came back, he greeted the eldest lady. At that time, the palace placed the goldfish sent to the eldest lady in the backyard, and met him once."

"Did the princess see anything during that meeting?"

Xu Ruyi thought about it carefully, and then said: "When he came, he didn't use crutches anymore. When I saw him before, he prepared a crutch, and if he couldn't hold it anymore, he used crutches. Seeing that he didn't need crutches at that time. Oh, I thought he had recovered."

Li Yuan nodded again: "Haven't we seen each other again?"

"I haven't seen it before."

Li Yuan responded, that's probably all the confession that Xu Ruyi can give now.

Li Yuan carefully read these statements, but did not speak for a while.

It was Xu Ruyi who took the initiative to ask: "Are you going to investigate the third son-in-law later?"

Li Yuan replied: "People who have been in contact with editor Lin recently need to investigate."

"Then I'll wait here for my son-in-law. He's cowardly and very timid. He had a conflict with editor Lin at the time, so he must be afraid of being wronged. But I still want to say something for him. If he knows Poisoning can kill people, so why go to the Prime Minister's mansion to mess around before poisoning? I'm afraid that after the accident, others won't suspect him?"
