" No, Lan 'er, you don't know how good you are in my heart." Ye Linfeng had completely put away the frivolity in his eyes at this moment, and all that was left was sincerity." You don't fight for anything, you have a cold personality, you know when to retreat, and you even have a good culinary skill that has brought a whole new world to this king. Lan' er, as long as you are willing, this king is willing to give you a lifetime, and I will not let you down in this life!”
"Your Highness, are you serious?"
"Of course!"
"Good!" Liu Weilan smiled." When Your Highness can call himself 'me' instead of 'this prince' in front of me, I will give you an answer. How about that?"”
Ye Linfeng was stunned and frowned slightly." Me? Not this king? Is there a difference between the two?"
Liu Weilan nodded solemnly and did not say anything else. She pushed Ye Linfeng away and went back to her own courtyard, leaving Ye Linfeng stunned on the spot, his eyes constantly changing.
Time passed, and in the blink of an eye, the moon rose above the willow branches. A gentle breeze blew past, and it was quiet. However, a scream instantly broke this beautiful scene.
"Ah! Not good, Miss Liqi has been poisoned! Not good, someone come quickly, Miss Liqi has been poisoned!”In an instant, the quiet Imperial Residence became noisy.
"Zi 'er, what happened?" Liu Weilan rubbed her brows. She didn't know why, but she felt uneasy.
"Reporting to Madam, something happened to Miss Liqi. It is said that she was poisoned and there are doctors who are trying to save her, but I heard that Miss Liqi is already incurable.”
"Liqi?" Liu Weilan frowned, lifted the blanket and got out of bed." Zi 'er, help me dress up. Let's go take a look."”
"Yes, Madam."
When Liu Weilan arrived, Ye Linfeng was also there. His gloomy face was expressionless. Liqi's room was filled with crying. Many of Ye Linfeng's concubines were crying like pear blossoms in the rain, especially Yun Ying. Of course, it was hard to say how much of this was true or false.
"My poor little sister Liqi, you're still so young, how could you leave just like that? Which slut poisoned you? When I find out, I'll definitely tear her into pieces to avenge you!”
Yun Ying cried as he peeked at Ye Linfeng. Seeing that Ye Linfeng did not express anything, he moved in front of Ye Linfeng and knelt down with a plop." Your Highness, it's all this concubine's fault. It's this concubine who did not take good care of Little Sister Li Qi and did not handle the relationship between the sisters in the residence, causing Little Sister Li Qi to die a tragic death. It's this concubine's incompetence, I beg Your Highness to punish her."”
"You seem to know who the murderer is?”Ye Linfeng did not pay too much attention to Yun Ying's crying and directly grabbed the main point of Yun Ying's words.
" This…" Yun Ying stole a glance at Liu Weilan and said hesitantly,""It's hard to say."
Ye Linfeng frowned impatiently." What's so hard to say? Speak!”
" This..." Yun Ying was still hesitating. The concubine who was crying loudly but did not shed a single tear rushed to speak," Sister Liqi drank the rose tea that Liu Weilan gave her and died of poisoning.”
"Boom!"
As soon as she said this, the crowd immediately exploded into a commotion. There were all kinds of discussions, but most of them were pointing at Liu Weilan. There were also a few who were just watching the show. Liu Weilan's heart thumped. At this moment, she seemed to have sensed something and looked up to the right. There, a woman dressed in a unique style smiled at her, her eyes filled with friendliness.
Fengli.
A name flashed across Liu Weilan's mind. This woman was not simple!
Liu Weilan nodded her head politely and looked away. She didn't have much contact with Feng Lizuo. She wasn't stupid enough to trust someone in this kind of open and secret competition in the Prince's mansion. Moreover, it was such a sensitive moment. If she didn't do it well, she might lose her life here.
"Shut up." Ye Linfeng spoke coldly, and everyone immediately fell silent. The huge room was instantly silent.
"Madam, what do you think?" Ye Linfeng looked at Liu Weilan, but his eyes were warm in an instant.
"It wasn't me." Liu Weilan said these three words softly and did not say anything else. Ye Linfeng nodded," I also believe that you are not that stupid.”
" But Your Highness..." Yun Ying spoke anxiously, but was interrupted by Ye Linfeng." As for Ying 'er, as you said, there was indeed a mistake. You don't have to participate in this matter anymore. I will leave this matter to Lan' er to take full responsibility. "Remember," Ye Linfeng raised his voice,"Liu Weilan is the concubine of the Prince's mansion, this Prince's only concubine!"”
"Your Highness!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many concubines immediately cried out in surprise. As everyone knew, although Ye Linfeng had many concubines and had always been known as a beauty, he had always been evenly distributed and had never been overly concerned about any woman. Even Yunying did not have a relatively high status because she was the Prime Minister's Di daughter, but she had never obtained Ye Linfeng's sole favor.
Liu Weilan looked at Ye Linfeng in surprise as a warm current flowed through her heart. In her previous life, she was betrayed by her best friend and her boyfriend. In this life, her heart was filled with the hatred in the original owner's memories. Ye Linfeng, with just three simple words, actually believed her without hesitation and even gave her a high position, giving her a lot of glory and favor. Although she believed that Ye Linfeng's actions were definitely not purely because he doted on her, there must be another motive behind it. However, it still felt good to be trusted so much.
Ye Linfeng swept his gaze around. Wherever his gaze landed, no one would immediately keep quiet out of fear. Ye Linfeng smiled slightly, but his tone was faintly cold." Does everyone have any objections?”
"Wangye, wouldn't your actions be unfair to little sister Liqi?”Yun Ying gritted his teeth and said.
"Oh?" Ye Linfeng stared at Yun Ying with slight impatience in his eyes.
Yun Ying's hands gripped the hem of his clothes fiercely, but he still opened his mouth and said,"Just now, the doctor had already checked. Little Sister Li Qi died because she drank rose tea. It's not that I don't believe Madam Liu, but if Madam Liu doesn't give everyone an explanation, I'm afraid that it will be unfair and make all the little sisters feel disappointed! Moreover, Liqi and ChenQie are like sisters. If Qie wants her to die in such an unknown way, it would be better to die in front of Liqi's younger sister's bed. On the road to hell, I would have a companion!”
At the end of his words, Yun Ying's voice was filled with tears. The few concubines who were usually on good terms with Yun Ying immediately went forward to comfort him. At the same time, they echoed Yun Ying's words." Yes, Your Highness. Your Highness's treatment really makes all the sisters feel disappointed!”
"Ha!" Hearing this, Liu Weilan sneered. She didn't want to explain further, but she didn't want to see these brainless women with fake expressions anymore. She said,""Dare I ask if Sister Liqi was the only one who received her rose tea? And dare I ask if Sister Liqi was the only one who drank my rose tea? Or to take a step back, I was in the kitchen when I made the rose tea. There were no less than a hundred people in the kitchen at that time. If I had the intention to harm people, why would I choose such a crowded place? Moreover, your highness has tasted the pastries I made, so why is your highness still standing here?”
