Li Sheng was called over soon. He was originally busy counting things outside. The eldest son of the Li family had been accompanying the hunt these days, and had gained a lot, making a name for himself among the sons of the nobles. He was busy counting, packing and distributing the things according to the eldest son's instructions. When he heard that it was the princess looking for him, he came immediately.
Princess Mingchang asked him bluntly: "Where is your brother?!"
Li Sheng was still bewildered: "He went out to meet his friends... Your Highness, is there anything you need from him?"
Princess Mingchang suppressed her anger and asked coldly, "He told you that he went out to meet a friend?! Don't you know who your brother is following?!"
This question was obvious enough. It was Li Sheng who reported Li Jiamin to Princess Mingchang. How could he not know that Li Yun had called to serve Li Jiamin again? When asked by Princess Mingchang, he knelt down hurriedly: "Your Highness, please forgive me. It was Li Yun who said that the young master felt too bored and wanted to go to the nearby forest farm. I thought that he was going to the distant forest farm anyway, and he had to go out of the camp, not in the hunting ground, so I gave them the token to enter and exit."
Of course, it is not that easy to enter and exit the camp, but this is just the tent of the nobles, not a palace, and it is not heavily guarded, but only guarded by guards. You can enter and exit with a token. Generally, if you have a token, the guards will not check you too much.
It seems that he really went out!
This evil creature!
Princess Mingchang cursed Li Jiamin countless times in her heart for being so audacious. She closed her eyes, her heartbeat quickened, and leaned back on the chair with her hand. She sneered angrily, "Okay, okay! You all ignored my orders! You must have thought that I'm old and dying, and that the one who will be in charge of the palace in the future will be that evildoer, so you all ignored my orders and ganged up on me!"
Li Sheng did not expect Princess Mingchang to react so violently. He was frightened and kowtowed in denial: "Your Highness, Your Highness, I dare not have such thoughts. How dare I? Yes, Li Yun said that the young master felt that the previous thing did not work out, and he was very angry..."
What happened before
Princess Mingchang's heart skipped a beat, and she almost lost her balance. She asked sharply, "What happened before?!"
Just as Li Sheng was about to speak, Madam Li's panicked voice came from outside: "Mother! The Imperial Concubine wants you to come over!"
Princess Mingchang's ominous premonition became stronger and stronger. She clenched her fists and tensed up. She wanted to ask first, but Madam Li outside was urging her more and more urgently. She had to take care of Concubine Pang first. She walked out of the tent with an unpleasant look and asked Madam Li in a cold voice: "What are you shouting?"
Madam Li naturally noticed her mother-in-law's dissatisfaction and indifference. She was somewhat helpless and carefully explained: "Mother, Aunt Cui from the Imperial Concubine's side came and urged you to go over quickly. She said that she had something urgent to discuss with you. My wife, my wife, has no choice..."
Princess Mingchang broke free from her, her heart skipped a beat. She became more and more confused and felt that Concubine Pang's urgent cry might be related to Li Jiamin's matter. However, she still held out some hope. After all, Li Jiamin was not a fool, so she couldn't have been caught, right
With a lot on her mind, Princess Mingchang absentmindedly went to the other palace. She walked around the garden and ran into Su Yao, who was walking with the Eleventh Princess, in the passage. She was stunned for a moment and asked with a frown, "Didn't you go back to the capital?!"
Just yesterday she cried and shouted that she wanted to go back to the capital early, and we even went to great lengths to send someone to send her back early. But why is she here again now
So who left yesterday
Su Yao smiled and raised his eyebrows and replied, "Your Highness, I was feeling a little unwell, so I didn't leave at the last minute."
There are so many things to do.
Princess Mingchang snorted in her heart, but she was concerned about the presence of the Eleventh Princess, so she did not say anything unpleasant. She just ignored her and went straight to Concubine Pang's Qingchi Palace.
There was not only Concubine Pang in Qingchi Palace. Emperor Yuanfeng was also sitting in the main seat, listening to what Eunuch Xia was saying.
At this time... ..Emperor Yuanfeng should have gone hunting. Princess Mingchang suppressed her confusion, stepped forward and bowed, then asked Concubine Pang: "I wonder why the Concubine summoned me so urgently?"
Concubine Pang glanced at Emperor Yuanfeng and said in a leisurely voice, "There is something... My sister should know that the horse that the Mongolian king gave me yesterday suddenly had a bloated stomach and almost died of it."
Princess Mingchang certainly knew about this, but she didn't understand why Concubine Pan singled it out for her, and she was a little annoyed for a moment: "Yes, I heard about it, but hasn't the Ministry of Punishment already been handed over to investigate this matter? You..."
When she said this, she couldn't help but be stunned. Something flashed through her mind, and all of a sudden, all the blood in her body rushed to her head. She felt dizzy and almost couldn't maintain her expression. But she finally reacted and asked with an ugly face: "Do you think I want to kill a horse?!"
She tried to act angry, and Concubine Pang smiled and comforted her: "Don't worry, sister. We didn't mean that. It's just that the Ministry of Punishment has tortured her and found out that it was Xiao Wen who was in charge of guarding the Ferghana horse. Xiao Wen insisted that he didn't feed her any food that shouldn't be fed. It's just that he left the stable for more than half an hour because of abdominal pain that day..."
The Eleventh Princess and Su Yao had already arrived, but Concubine Pang ignored them and continued to look at Princess Mingchang: "The only person who went to the stable during that time was a eunuch named Xiao Jiazi. Xiao Jiazi has confessed that he got a favor from a man named Li Yun in your house, so he found a lot of sweet osmanthus to feed the horses. Sister, do you know where this Li Yun is?"
The ominous premonition she had had before was finally confirmed at this moment. Princess Mingchang was really furious this time: "What little clamp? What Li Yun?! I don't even know who they are, let alone this matter. How could I have ordered so many people to harm a horse?!"
Concubine Pang smiled and comforted her calmly, "Don't worry, sister. I didn't say you wanted to poison the horse. But after all, we have found out what happened. Nowadays, there are many bold servants under us, and the reasons for harming people are endless and unimaginable. Even if it is really someone from your house, it doesn't mean that it is definitely related to you."
Having said that, if there is no problem, you should be open and honest and let people investigate. Otherwise, it proves that you have something to hide.
