Chapter 220 Sun Liangyuan's Affair
Queen Gu was furious and yelled, "Crown Princess, is it so difficult for me to ask you to do something? You are reluctant to ask me a question. Are you afraid that I will ask you something bad?"
Lu Lingxi replied calmly, "It's not like my daughter-in-law is having an affair here, so how could you give me an answer that is unfavorable to me? I just don't know where to start asking, and what questions can satisfy you. Otherwise, you can give me a demonstration this time, and next time I will definitely ask you something that satisfies you."
Queen Gu was getting so annoyed after all the twists and turns, but there was no progress at all. She had no choice but to compromise and said to Concubine Shang, "Shang, you go and ask. Find out when this pair of bitches met, and how they made an appointment to come here and do such a shameful thing without telling anyone."
Concubine Shang took over Queen Gu's words and said to Sun Liangyuan, "Sun, are you listening carefully to the Queen's question? Answer quickly."
After a long discussion, the matter was finally put on the right track. Sun Liangyuan quickly fell to the ground and shouted, "Empress, Crown Princess, Concubine, I am innocent! I colluded with the concubines to have an affair with this lunatic here. I am being persecuted."
Concubine Shang turned her head to look at Queen Gu and continued to ask, "Oh? You were caught on the spot, your clothes were in disarray, what injustice did you suffer? Tell me about it."
Sun Liangyuan said anxiously, "I don't know this lunatic. I was knocked unconscious and brought here. This is my first time in the palace. I don't even know the way. How dare I run around by myself? If I bump into some important person, I'm afraid I won't be able to get out alive. What's more, I would never dare to do something like having an affair even if I die a thousand times."
Concubine Shang: "You said you were knocked unconscious. There were so many people at the banquet just now, who could have knocked you out and taken you away without anyone noticing? And if you were knocked unconscious, you should be lying down and unable to move, but looking at the marks on the madman's body, it doesn't seem like you were motionless."
After hearing what Concubine Shang said, Lu Lingxi looked in the direction she pointed. He saw the naked madman kneeling not far away, his strong chest exposed to everyone without reservation. A closer look revealed that, as Concubine Shang said, there were several obvious scratches on his chest, which crisscrossed and seemed to tell of a fierce fight or some kind of fanatical passion. On his thick neck, several bright red kisses were clearly visible, dotted like blooming flowers.
Seeing this scene, Lu Lingxi couldn't help but think to himself: Well, Sister Shang is really observant!
Sun Liangyuan lowered her head and rolled her eyes around, explaining, "After I was drugged, I didn't faint immediately. Instead, I followed the person who drugged me in a daze. I did whatever he said. After I came to this room, I was drugged by the aphrodisiac incense. Under the effect of the drug, I became like this... like this..."
It was difficult for Sun Liangyuan to avoid using the adjective at the end, and everyone understood. Concubine Shang did not wait for her to finish and reported to Queen Gu, "Queen, Sun Liangyuan said that she was first drugged and then aphrodisiac. We don't know if it's true or not. We need to ask the imperial physician to examine her to confirm whether she is lying."
Queen Gu said to Nanny Li, "Go and get a doctor who is more tight-lipped."
Concubine Shang then asked the kneeling lunatic: "Who are you? Why are you doing this with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's Sun Liangyuan?"
As soon as Concubine Shang finished her question, the madman twitched and foamed at the mouth, then fell to the ground and couldn't get up. After falling to the ground, he twitched a few more times and then became completely motionless.
Sun Liangyuan, who was closest to them, was so frightened that she quickly crawled to the side, and the others were also frightened and scattered.
The eunuch beside Queen Gu felt the pulse of the madman and replied, "Reporting to the Queen, the madman has died."
Queen Gu nodded to the young eunuch and motioned him to leave: "Leave it there, and let the imperial physician come and take a look at it later."
No one spoke for a while, and the interrogation did not continue. Concubine Wang stepped forward and asked Sun Liangyuan: "You said you were knocked unconscious. Who did it? Did you see it? Why did so many people at the banquet target you alone? Did you offend someone? Was it deliberately retaliated? Or is your priceless treasure being plotted against? There must be a reason, right?"
Sun Liangyuan first looked at Lu Lingxi timidly, and then said timidly: "I am a nobody in the Prince's Mansion, and I act cautiously and low-key. I have never offended anyone, and I don't have any priceless treasures worthy of others' attention. It's just... just..."
Concubine Wang glared at Sun Liangyuan, "Just what? If you have anything to say, just say it quickly. Queen, Crown Princess, we are already doing you a great favor by listening to your nonsense. We don't have time to be shy with you. If you don't want to say it, you can just punish me directly!"
Sun Liangyuan was so scared that she kowtowed and begged for mercy, and she spoke faster, "Queen, spare me, Crown Princess, spare me, I'll tell you, I'll tell you right away. It's just that a few days ago, I joked with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince in front of Changqiu Palace, and Miss Liu Lu, who was beside the Crown Princess, saw it. After giving me a cold look, Miss Liu Lu said a few words to me that were "seductive and charming." "
After Sun Liangyuan finished speaking, the whole audience fell into strange silence and no one spoke for a while.
Queen Gu was waiting for Sun Liangyuan's next words.
Concubine Wang secretly glanced at Lu Lingxi, and then at Queen Gu. She thought to herself, this is not good, is this to bite the Crown Princess, what is the Queen trying to do? She doesn't know how important the Crown Princess is in the heart of the Crown Prince. She knows that she will have to make a living in the Crown Prince's Mansion in the future, so she dare not offend the Crown Princess openly. She said that she has not targeted anyone excessively, so she should not meddle in it.
I saw Lu Lingxi's beautiful eyes turn slightly, and her smart eyeballs instantly rolled up, revealing a large area of white in her eyes. She couldn't help cursing in her heart: I said it was fine, why did you call me here? I thought I was just a spectator to watch the fun, but I didn't expect that I would not only watch the show here, but also have to perform with them in person! Even Liu Lu, who was not present at all, was involved. I really don't know what's in this person's mind. It's really unbelievable! Humph, I am very curious. I really want to hear what kind of outrageous plot she can make up next.
Concubine Shang glanced at Lu Lingxi, and seeing that Lingxi didn't say anything, she didn't respond either, and decided to wait and see what happened first.
