She went to the East Palace to be a eunuch, and the prince became her subordinate.

Chapter 453 Complicity
As soon as the people left, Concubine Lin called the palace maid outside in, "Go and see where she went?"

She really didn't expect what happened today, and what Ye Xuwan said just now was also weird.

It was indeed not her who hired the killer, but she couldn't figure out who else in the palace would target her.

Could it be Ye Qingwan? Could she be so capable?

Concubine Lin frowned, perhaps this matter was really as she expected, and the one behind the scenes was her.

"Her Royal Highness the Crown Princess returned to the East Palace and never went out again."

Went straight back? She left the East Palace just to see him?
Well, what happens next depends on what the prince does.

Mo Yunzheng immediately stepped forward to greet them when he saw them coming back. Ye Xuwan sighed tiredly, her face was about to break from laughing, it turned out that a fake smile could be so uncomfortable.

"It's done." Ye Xuwan spoke slowly, and immediately asked the palace maid to carry a large box of night pearls to Concubine Lin.

The night-shining pearl she brought was the largest one. These others were small, but when accumulated, these night-shining pearls were also very valuable.

"Let someone spread the news."

Mo Yunzheng spoke slowly, and now it depended on how Concubine Lin would clear herself of the suspicion.

"You really don't even let me go." Ye Xuwan said helplessly. Once the news got out, she and Concubine Lin would be in cahoots.

The murder was committed by Concubine Lin. Although the deceased was her niece, she never visited her but only asked a palace maid to send some things over.

"Wan'er, I've wronged you."

The news immediately spread in the palace, saying that the Crown Princess colluded with Concubine Lin and hired someone to kill someone behind the scenes. It was also said that the Crown Princess had just entered the Eastern Palace and had no one to guard her, and only Concubine Lin had the ability to do this.

Rumors spread quickly in the palace.

"What did you say? How did the Imperial Concubine get involved in this matter?" Ye Qingwan looked puzzled. Things seemed to be developing beyond her expectations.

"It has spread everywhere outside." The palace maid spoke immediately. Even those at the lowest level had heard the news, not to mention the imperial palace.

I'm afraid the news has already spread outside the palace. If the imperial concubine doesn't speak out, it means she has tacitly acknowledged the relationship.

Ye Qingwan frowned slightly. What tricks was Ye Xuwan playing? She really didn't understand this step she took.

As women, they naturally value reputation the most, let alone women in the palace. They definitely want to leave a good reputation, but does Ye Xuwan really not care about these things?
It doesn’t matter if she doesn’t care, but does the prince also not care?
All this was really confusing, she needed to take another look.

"What? What did you say!" The teacup in Concubine Lin's hand fell on the table, and the tea in it also spilled on the table.

The maid was so frightened that she fell to her knees and said, "Your Highness, please calm down."

The news has spread everywhere, and they don't want to gossip about it, but since it spreads from person to person, the news can't be stopped.

"When did I become involved with Ye Xuwan!" Concubine Lin demanded angrily.

What is the purpose of this move? Does she really intend to use these rumors to pull herself down from the position of imperial concubine?

Concubine Lin's delicate face was filled with anger; she had never expected things to develop like this.

The real murderer was still behind the scenes and had not been caught. Unexpectedly, she became the murderer and also a shield. "My Lady Concubine, people in the palace said that the Crown Princess sent a lot of night-shining pearls to me. They were tributes sent from the Western Regions."

The palace maid whispered that the tribute from the Western Regions was so precious, and the Crown Princess sent boxes of it to the Imperial Concubine. The relationship between them was self-evident.

Concubine Lin frowned. She guessed that Ye Xuwan had no good intentions, but she didn't expect that this would be plotted against her.

"Bring out those night-shining pearls."

The eunuch immediately brought out the night pearl that Ye Xuwan had sent, opened the box, and an unusually bright light shone from inside.

This thing was a tribute from the Western Regions. How could she have so much?

Concubine Lin picked one up at random and took a closer look before she discovered something inside. "This is not a night-shining pearl at all."

She threw the beads on the ground angrily, and they immediately shattered into pieces.

The sparkling thing here is not the light of the night pearl, but a kind of luminous powder. I didn't expect Ye Xuwan to use such a thing to fool me.

"Royal Concubine, do you want to send these back?" The palace maid asked in a low voice. The Crown Princess was passing off inferior items as good ones, which was a big taboo. She even dared to give them away, which showed that she did not take the Royal Concubine seriously.

Concubine Lin sighed deeply and then shook her head.

It would be hard to explain if she sent this thing back, so now she should think about how to resolve these rumors.

"Your Highness, the Young Master requests to see you."

The palace maid came in hunched over and reported that they had to be extremely careful right now, otherwise their lives would be in danger.

Shao Qing? What is he doing here?
This Shaoqing is the elder in Concubine Rong's family and also a fifth-rank official. His daughter died in such a good way, so he came to seek justice.

At first, they thought that their daughter would have peace of mind in the future after recognizing Concubine Lin as her aunt. However, she died on her wedding night. How could they, as a family, swallow this?

Concubine Lin frowned, but the person was already outside the door, so she had to invite him in.

"Your Highness, you are really good at using my daughter's life to please others. It depends on whether I am willing or not."

As soon as Shaoqing came in, he started talking in a sarcastic tone. Of course, he had heard the news.

If his daughter was really killed by Concubine Lin and the Crown Princess, he would never let it go.

The maidservant at the side immediately stepped forward to pour hot tea. Concubine Lin raised her lips and said immediately, "Those are all false news. My Lord, please keep calm. I will definitely avenge Rong'er."

At first, she thought this family was easy to control, but who knew that Rong'er was not so lucky. She also did not expect that she would be assassinated.

"I'm afraid the Imperial Concubine doesn't take my daughter seriously. If her life is really related to the Imperial Concubine, I will naturally not let her go."

Shaoqing spoke immediately, speaking righteously. In fact, he didn't love his daughter at all. He just thought that since she was dead, it was time to make use of her last bit of value.

"Sir, please don't laugh. This assassin's confession did not include me. Besides, this is the harem. How can I tolerate you making a scene here?"

Concubine Lin's tone became more serious. She originally wanted to persuade the other party with kind words, but the other party insisted on doing so. She was not a fool. How could she allow others to manipulate her status as a concubine?

"My Lady, Rong'er calls you Aunt. I naturally don't want to hear such rumors, but My Lady should also show some attitude."
