PNB Chapter 195: Kill Her
Chapter 195: Kill Her
"Su Wan, how many bottles of beauty serum did you give to the Imperial Concubine? Why did the Imperial Concubine's situation get worse again because of the one you gave her?"
The emperor's angry question frightened Su Wan, "Your Majesty, I am innocent."
"Except for that bottle of beauty serum, I didn't give the Imperial Concubine anything else. As for why the Imperial Concubine's condition has worsened, it must be because someone wants to use this to frame me."
Su Wan's eyes were red and her voice was choked. She didn't know if it was because of the pain from the collision or because she was really wronged, but tears fell down.
"Sister, the beauty serum originally belonged to Huichuntang. Why did you put all the blame on me when something went wrong?"
"I was wrong in the past and shouldn't have argued with you, but why are you still unwilling to let me go now?"
Facing Su Wan's accusation, Ye Qingluo remained calm as if he had expected it.
"Su Wan, do you mean to say that I planned all this?"
"Isn't it? You knew that the Imperial Concubine wanted beauty serum, and you also knew that I couldn't produce such a thing, so a series of things happened."
Su Wan said in a sad tone, "It's fine if you just plotted against me, but you shouldn't have plotted against the Imperial Concubine as well. Can you really live with your conscience like this?"
“What about essential oils?”
Ye Qingluo's words made Su Wan's pupils shrink, and she subconsciously avoided it, "Sister, I don't understand what you are saying."
"Su Wan, the reason why the Imperial Concubine's condition worsened is because she used the essential oil you gave her. How dare you say that you didn't know about this?"
"There is no such thing as essential oils for sale in Huichuntang."
"I……"
Su Wan's heart skipped a beat. She felt inexplicably scared when being stared at by so many people. She had taken the essential oil from the Shangshu Mansion, and her father would never harm her.
Could it be that the person who was involved in this was...Su Yun!
Su Wan secretly resented that she was so focused on dealing with Ye Qingluo that she forgot that there was a troublesome person named Su Yun in the Shangshu Mansion. She must have made the substitution on purpose under the pretext of checking on him that day.
"Su Wan, why don't you tell the truth!"
"Your Majesty, I got that essential oil from a miracle doctor. I have used it before and did not experience any symptoms."
"Someone must be trying to stir up trouble. Your Majesty, please investigate."
In the imperial study, besides the emperor, Ye Qingluo and Su Wan, there were several ministers standing nearby. Seeing this, they bowed and reported, "Your Majesty, as far as I know, the beauty serum of Marquis Pingyuan's wife was also obtained from a miracle doctor. Now, could the essential oil of the second wife be from the same person? The other party's purpose is probably to create panic and profit from this."
"Ye Qingluo, how much do you know about the miracle doctor who sells beauty serum in Huichuntang?"
The emperor looked at Ye Qingluo, obviously suspicious of the minister's words.
Ye Qingluo secretly thought that this was not good. The so-called miracle doctor was something she made up in order to avoid attracting attention.
As for what Su Wan was talking about, it was most likely the man named Lu Ling, and now they are connected together by coincidence.
"In reply to the emperor, that person was a traveling doctor. He left the capital when he handed the beauty serum to me."
"What a traveling doctor!" One of the ministers questioned Ye Qingluo fiercely, "Madam Pingyuan Hou, the beauty serum has such a miraculous effect, why doesn't he sell it himself, but give it to you?"
"You are so hesitant, could it be that the itinerant doctor is fake and all this is made up by you?"
"Your Excellency must have proof of what you say. The reason why the traveling doctor gave me the beauty serum was because he trusted the medical skills of Huichuntang, and also because of the plaque bestowed by the emperor."
"Could it be that you have objections to what the Emperor has given you?"
"you……"
The minister who was questioned was angry and anxious, but he did not dare to refute. He threw his sleeves and said angrily, "I will not argue with a woman like you."
"Your Majesty, it is true that the Imperial Concubine was poisoned one after another. Whether it was Su Wan or the wife of Pingyuan Marquis, it was all caused by the beauty serum. Both of them are suspects."
"Perhaps the matter is really as Su Wan said, that the two of them had an argument, and the wife of Pingyuan Marquis planned this with the intention of harming them."
The emperor said nothing. His face was gloomy and he glanced at the people present with a serious expression, appearing more and more unfathomable.
At this time, a young eunuch came in and said, "Your Majesty, Marquis Pingyuan is waiting outside."
"Let him in!"
Mr. Hou?
When Su Wan heard the news that Chu Beiyu was coming, she felt as if she had seen a savior.
As long as the Marquis is here, he will definitely rescue her from the prison!
When Chu Beiyu entered the imperial study, he saw Su Wan kneeling on the ground, and his eyes paused for a few seconds.
It’s only been a few days since they last met, how come his Wan’er has become like this?
Looking at Ye Qingluo standing there, he looked very decent, not affected at all. It was really unfair!
"Marquis Pingyuan, the recent events were all caused by your backyard. Do you have anything to say?"
The emperor's tone was cold, and he looked at Chu Beiyu with impatience in his eyes, as if he was going to hold him accountable in the next second.
"Your Majesty, I really didn't know about this. Ever since I returned from the expedition, Ye has repeatedly behaved in a hostile manner. She also relied on the plaque you gave to Huichun Hall to ignore everyone. I can do nothing about it."
Chu Beiyu's tone was full of accusations against Ye Qingluo, and every word he said was meant to put her to death.
"When the assassin held Su Wan hostage and asked for the beauty serum, I still spent 1,000 taels to buy it from Ye, and then Ye said that the beauty serum had problems again."
"During this period of time, I have thought that perhaps the assassin later knew that the person who was injured was His Royal Highness the Regent and became afraid, so he left the beauty serum behind, and Su Wan happened to get it."
"No matter who has the problem, it's a life. Your Majesty, although Ye is my wife, I am ashamed of what she did. But Su Wan once saved my life. She has a gentle temperament and has never hurt anyone. Please show mercy and release my concubine."
"My Lord..." Su Wan's eyes were filled with tears, and she was deeply moved by Chu Beiyu's words.
Ye Qingluo looked at the two of them coldly. What a Chu Beiyu, he put all the blame on himself as soon as he opened his mouth.
In order to save Su Wan, you are willing to give up your reputation?
Since this bastard is going to such an extent, it’s not her fault!
"My Lord, why didn't you say these words before? Why did you choose to say them now?"
"During the past three years when you were away on the expedition, I took care of the Marquis's residence and took care of my mother, so that you had no worries. I was looking forward to your return. When you asked for a concubine, I did not stop you. When you asked Su Wan to be the housekeeper, I also gave up all my power."
"Isn't this enough to satisfy you?"
"As for what you said about me relying on the Huichun Hall's plaque, Lord, have you forgotten about the silver? That day you brought people to Huichun Hall. If His Royal Highness the Regent had not happened to pass by, the hall would have been in a mess. But you..."
