Chapter 135 I Wasn't the One Who Hurt My Cousin

Song Baoling didn't just sit still, she found an opportunity to change the contents of the sachet, thinking that she could escape the catastrophe, but it didn't take long for Song Baochai to feel unwell, and finally fell into a coma.

"Holy Majesty!"

The palace people knelt down to greet him, and Song Baoling, who was guarding the inner hall, was among them. She looked up and saw Jun Tingsheng also came, and she couldn't help but feel a little strange.

"How is Concubine Song?"

"My Majesty, the empress suddenly fell into a coma for some reason, and she hasn't woken up yet."

Jun Yelan had already walked to the bed, looked at Song Baochai who had her eyes closed tightly, "What happened? Why did Concubine Song fall into a coma?"

Before the imperial physician could reply, Lin'er, Song Baochai's personal maid, suddenly pointed at Song Baoling: "It's her, she must have murdered my mother."

Song Baoling pointed at himself with a puzzled face, "Are you saying I murdered my cousin?"

Seeing this, Jun Tingsheng on the side said sharply: "This matter is of great importance, so please don't talk nonsense in front of the Holy One."

"The servant is not talking nonsense, what the servant said is true."

Song Baoling raised her eyebrows slightly, although she had already guessed that she would be tricked, but now she is too lazy to argue with Lin'er.

"The one who hurt my cousin is not me, but... Concubine Leng."

As soon as these words came out, Jun Yelan was shocked, "What's going on?"

"My lord, I..."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Song Baoling said the words, Lin'er knelt and climbed forward: "My lord, this is the sachet that my mother carries with me. It has been fine before, but..."

"However, County Lord Jingling changed the contents of the sachet. My mother fell into a coma because of this. I beg the Lord to make decisions for my mother."

Hearing this, Jun Yelan's eyes swept towards Song Baoling like sharp knives, "Is what she said true?"

Song Baoling saluted neither humble nor overbearing, and explained in a calm tone: "Returning to the Holy Majesty, Concubine Song's falling into a coma is not caused by the sachet, but because of the pearl hairpin presented by Concubine Leng."

Upon hearing this, Lin'er immediately denied: "You're talking nonsense! It's clear that you were jealous of my mother and secretly changed the sachet!"

"I told you, your mother fell asleep because of the pearl hairpin, not the sachet."

The two sides insisted on their own words, and Jun Yelan was upset when he heard it, so he directly told them to shut up.

"Physician Wang, it's up to you to check these two things and find out which one caused Concubine Song to appear drowsy."

"Yes, my lord."

Imperial Physician Wang took both items, and then began to inspect them one by one. During this period, Lin'er stared nervously, while Song Baoling stood there calmly.

Jun Yelan saw the change in the expressions of the two of them. Since Song Baoling staged a scene of saving his father in front of him last time, he felt more and more that this little girl was not simple.

"My lord, after inspection by the minister, the pearl hairpin was smeared with medicinal powder, and the medicinal powder could seep into the body of the concubine Song from the scalp, causing the empress to coma."

Lin'er was shocked by Wang Taiyi's words, and she shook her head in panic, "Impossible! How could it be a pearl hairpin? It's clearly a problem with the sachet, it's impossible..."

Seeing this situation, Jun Tingsheng asked directly regardless of Jun Yelan's presence, "Say, who ordered you to frame Jingling County Lord?"

"Concubine Song is pregnant with the Holy Majesty's heir, if something goes wrong, she won't be able to spare you! Hurry up and tell me everything you know!"

Jun Yelan who was sitting on the side was staring at Lin'er, with an expression on his face that seemed to have guessed something, Song Baoling glanced at him and did not speak.

"Tell me, who exactly have you been instructed by?"

Facing Jun Tingsheng's aggressive questioning, Lin'er just stared at Song Baoling unwillingly, biting her tongue and killing herself before everyone could react in the future.

"Stop her!"

Song Baoling hurried forward to stop her, but it was still a step too late, and he could only watch Lin'er fall in front of her.

Once Lin'er died, it would be very difficult to find out the real culprit, and the matter might be related to the Queen Mother, making it even more difficult.

"Your Majesty, since the imperial physician has found out that there is something wrong with this pearl hairpin, you might as well bring Concubine Leng to confront her in public."

However, Jun Yelan didn't seem to be in a hurry to find the real culprit. He just asked about the situation of the imperial physician Song Baochai, and then asked someone to carry Lin'er's body down.

"I know everything about today. Now that your suspicion has been ruled out, I will make arrangements for the rest."

"But it's about the heirs of the Holy Majesty, I think it's better to find out as soon as possible, as long as I invite Empress Leng to come over and ask."

"I know that your heart is for Concubine Song, but just now you heard the imperial doctor say that Concubine Song is fine, so you don't have to worry about this matter anymore, I will take care of it myself."

Song Baoling saw Jun Yelan's three or two words trying to make the big thing smaller, and now he wanted to fool it directly, so he was a little anxious for a while: "My lord, this matter has clearly..."

"Linger!"

Jun Tingsheng suddenly stepped forward to interrupt her, and then bowed to Jun Yelan to salute: "Your Majesty, forgive me, Ling'er is a bit stubborn, so I didn't intend to offend the Holy Majesty just now."

"However, I think Ling'er was taken aback. When I entered the palace today, I happened to meet Xuan Pinghou. He was very concerned about Ling'er. I wonder if the Holy Majesty would let me send Ling'er back to the Song Mansion to visit his family?"

Jun Yelan looked back and forth between the two of them, and after a while, said softly: "Xuan Ping Hou misses his daughter, how can I not be considerate, you can send the county master Jingling back to the mansion for a night."

"Thank you, Lord Long En."

The current situation cannot be delayed. After getting Jun Yelan's permission, Jun Tingsheng immediately took Song Baoling and left.

After the two came out of Baohua Palace, Song Baoling was still a little bit aggrieved, "Why did you stop me?"

Jun Tingsheng stopped and turned around, looked at her face filled with righteous indignation, and sighed helplessly: "You were too reckless just now, didn't you see that the Holy Majesty has murderous intentions?"

Hearing this, Song Baoling was subconsciously stunned, "What killing intent?"

"Even if what happened today was really done by Concubine Leng, the forces behind her are difficult to defend. The Holy One has to take care of the whole court, and it is even more impossible to touch her just because of Song Baochai."

"So even if His Majesty already knew that Concubine Leng was the mastermind behind the scenes, it was because of her power that he didn't want to continue to investigate?"

"Not only that, but when the maid pointed out that there was something wrong with the sachet, I saw that the Holy One wasn't surprised at all. He obviously knew who the show was for today."

After being reminded by Jun Tingsheng, Song Baoling suddenly remembered that the sachet was a gift from the Queen Mother. It is impossible for Jun Yelan not to know about it, so he didn't want to investigate further. Could it be for the Queen Mother?
If the investigation continues, the Empress Dowager is bound to be found, and I'm afraid it will cause rumors to spread and affect the government.

"Okay, don't think about it so much, I'll take you back first, and we'll talk about everything later."

Unexpectedly, before they rushed back to the Song Mansion, the Queen Mother's verbal order came, calling the two of them to enter the palace immediately.
