Chapter 1562: Chapter 1557 Want Li Yunshu

"I know, aunt, you’ve said these words so many times already."fre.eweb(n)ovel\.c om

Unaware of the unusual emotion in the maidservant’s demeanor, Rong Yun covered her ears; she was almost afraid to hear these words anymore.

She also wanted to have a son, but she just hasn’t conceived yet!fre\e(w)ebn ov.e l\. co.m

Once noon passed, someone came to take the maidservant away. As she was leaving, her gaze was very calm, asking them not to wake up Rong Yun who was still napping.

She was thrown into the imperial prison, where Qin Rulie and others in the Empress Dowager’s palace were discussing how to execute her.

"This despicable maid, she’s absolutely hateful, she actually... actually forced Yunshu to drink an entire pot of safflowers, she was trying to kill her!"

Qin Ge paced around in the Empress Dowager’s palace, horribly shocked when she heard the news!

She hadn’t expected Rong Yun, who usually seemed so gentle and cute, to be capable of such a cruel act!

Simply detestable!

"Mother, this matter has nothing to do with Jingjing, it was that maid’s doing, do not direct your anger towards her," Qin Muyan quickly kneeled down to explain.

He absolutely did not believe that Rong Yun had instigated this.

"And you still defend her! On the surface, Yunshu harms her more, but this time... Yunshu was almost killed by her actions!" Qin Ge anxiously paced, her heart filled with fury.

She had originally favored Li Yunshu slightly, she had watched her grow up since childhood, she admitted she was somewhat biased and also unfair to Rong Yun.

But she didn’t expect Rong Yun to strike so harshly this time, actually attempting to kill Li Yunshu.

"Do you even know what safflowers are!" Qin Ge was furious and exasperated.

Qin Muyan’s expression was somber; being a man, he wasn’t very knowledgeable about such matters.

The Empress saw his confusion and stepped forward to explain, "This is a drug that causes infertility in women; the empress in the previous dynasty used it to prevent other concubines from continuing the emperor’s lineage. It was later abolished by the retired emperor, and it is banned both in the palace and among the civilians."

She had previously found such substances in the harem, and those involved were severely executed by her.

The harm it does to women is simply too great!

This time, she heard that the maidservant by Rong Yun’s side had fed Li Yunshu a large amount of safflower soup...

When Qin Muyan heard the Empress explaining, he was slightly shocked, but he only felt discontent towards the maidservant’s actions, he did not really pity Li Yunshu, he gravely said, "The maidservant was assigned to Rong Yun by Imperial Consort Beiling, she is scheming and her actions are overly harsh, she indeed is guilty. But this matter absolutely has nothing to do with Jingjing, Jingjing is pure, she might not even know what safflowers are, she definitely did not instigate this."

"Pure? Was she ’pure’ when she seduced you to do such a thing in the palace last time?" Qin Ge was very dissatisfied with Qin Muyan’s attitude of protecting Rong Yun.

"Mother!"

Qin Muyan’s face turned cold, "That time was my fault as a son, Jingjing is just an innocent and cute girl, please don’t always be prejudiced against her, she’s not as capable as Li Yunshu at handling affairs, nor is she as scheming!"

The more Qin Ge criticized Rong Yun, the more it provoked Qin Muyan’s protective instincts towards her.

He was well aware of the temperament of the person by his side, and he would not allow even his own mother to slander her.

"Mu Yan, you..."

"Enough!" The Empress Dowager rebuked coldly, her voice weak and lacking strength, "You are just Mu Yan’s mother, why do you meddle so much in the affairs of his inner court? Now that Yannanny has hurt Li Yunshu, just bring her to the palace for questioning, and let the empress handle it, ensuring fairness to all involved."

The Empress Dowager looked at the empress, "You are capable of managing affairs, so please take extra care of this matter for Mu Yan."

The empress immediately knelt down in obeisance, "Yes, I shall heed the imperial grandmother’s command and fetch the person from the imperial prison immediately."

The empress assigned her most trusted nanny to go, and also gave Qin Muyan a meaningful look, "Mu Yan, have Wei Jue accompany my nanny."

"Why?" Qin Muyan was confused, but seeing the serious look in the empress’s eyes, he didn’t ask any further questions and immediately ordered Wei Jue to escort the nanny to fetch Yannanny to the palace.

While Qin Ge was still serving in the Empress Dowager’s palace, the empress had already begun walking towards the imperial study with Qin Muyan.

Throughout the journey, the empress’s expression never lightened, and she told Qin Muyan, "This matter is no longer just about your inner court."

"What do you mean by that, Imperial Sister-in-law?" Qin Muyan suddenly sensed the seriousness of the situation.

He had known early on that Li Yunshu’s injury would not be easily settled by the Li family, but he hadn’t expected the matter to be so grave.

Unexpectedly, the empress said in a heavy tone, "The old Duke Li has returned to the capital, after they took Li Yunshu back, the emperor summoned the old duke, but he did not enter the palace."

"The old duke is back?" Qin Muyan clenched his fist tightly, astonished that he had received no news of this before.

Just yesterday, he didn’t care about Li Yunshu’s life or death at all, and he hadn’t even paid much attention when the Li family took her back. Now, it seemed... things were about to become troublesome!

Qin Rulie was waiting for Qin Muyan in the imperial study. When the empress arrived with him, Yannanny had already been brought into the palace by Qin Rulie.

Seeing the bloodstains in the imperial study not yet cleaned up, Qin Muyan unconsciously tensed up, "Imperial Brother, what has happened?"

Qin Rulie, hands propped on the imperial table, knitted his brows tightly, "That Yannanny’s life was nearly lost, I had to replace a batch of palace guards in the imperial prison."

The empress instantly understood the worry in Qin Rulie’s eyes, "Did the Li family act against her so quickly?"

Qin Rulie looked at the empress and nodded.

The empress sighed deeply, "I had just asked Mu Yan to have Wei Jue and my people go to the imperial prison to fetch her, just in case something unforeseen happened. Fortunately, this nanny’s life was saved. If she were to testify anything, the relationship between Great Wei and Beiling City might just be destroyed."

Great Wei had just accepted salt and iron from Beiling City, and Li Yunshu had always been in conflict with Rong Yun. Li family must avenge Li Yunshu, by torturing Yannanny severely, or even killing her, and then frame Rong Yun. Rong Yun would then be hardly able to escape the blame.

Qin Muyan first went to check on Yannanny’s injuries in the side hall’s warming chamber.

She was beaten to her last breath, her body covered with severe marks of punishment from the prison, it seemed she had already predicted her own fate and was indifferent to her injuries, but upon seeing Qin Muyan, she immediately grabbed his sleeve, "Princess... The princess doesn’t know, it was all... done by me alone."

Qin Muyan felt a mix of emotions, "Your Highness knows she was deceived by you, but why put yourself through this? Isn’t it worth more to stay by Jingjing’s side rather than lose your life like this?"

Yannanny coughed up blood, smiling bitterly and shaking her head.
