Chapter 134: Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace: Wei Yanwan. 54
After much investigation, Bai Xi finally found out everything. Bai Xi found out the calligraphy copy of Qingying font that Zhenshu had secretly copied from her. Then Bai Xi gave the carnelian to Zhenshu for identification.
After everything was investigated, Bai Xi brought all the evidence to Wei Yanwan. Wei Yanwan took advantage of her boredom and said to her, "In this case, when the emperor is free in the afternoon, ask Concubine Xian and Concubine Jia to come to the Yangxin Palace."
As she spoke, Wei Yanwan placed the things Bai Xi had given her on the table and said to Jinzhong, "Have you resolved the issue with Suo Xin?"
"Don't worry, Imperial Noble Consort. Although Suo Xin has been tortured, the situation is far from irreversible."
"That's good."
Jinzhong obediently stood at the door and talked about what happened that day. Jinzhong took Jiang Yubin into the Ministry of Punishment.
The environment inside the Ministry of Punishment was damp and dark. It could be said to be the most feared place in the imperial palace. It was a good thing that Suo Xin was not scared to death by the people here when she came in that day.
Jiang Yubin felt something was wrong when he saw this environment, but he was really frightened when he saw惢心, "惢心!"
Jiang Yubin wanted to go in but was stopped by the guards at the door. Jinzhong approached slowly from behind and said, "According to the order of the Imperial Concubine, we are here to see Miss Suo Xin."
The guards then let the two in. Jiang Yubin went in and took the whip from the punishment nanny. Looking at惢心, who had almost no good flesh on her body, his voice was trembling. Seeing that she seemed to be motionless, Jiang Yubin called her carefully: "惢心?惢心...can you hear me?"
Suo Xin saw him in a daze, and said with a little joy and hope: "It's...it's Concubine Xian..."
When Jiang Yubin heard her words, he looked at her angrily, "You risked your life for her, but there is still no news from Concubine Xian! It was Eunuch Jinzhong who brought me in, not your good master!"
Jiang Yubin knew that he couldn't resent Concubine Xian due to his position, but he just couldn't control himself. Concubine Xian had done something wrong because of her own fault, so why did she have to humiliate his heart...
The hopeful eyes of Suo Xin gradually dimmed. Jin Zhong looked at the maids and said with a smile, "Madams, the Imperial Concubine sympathizes with your hard work and specially asked us to come and take a look. Since Miss Suo Xin has not changed her words, she must be unaware of the situation."
"The Imperial Concubine means that there is no need to torture Miss Suo Xin anymore. Just wait until the case is over, and then the Imperial Concubine will decide where to send Miss Suo Xin."
"Well, since it is the Imperial Concubine's wish, we will certainly obey. However, as for the Emperor..."
Jinzhong nodded, "Don't worry."
As he spoke, he placed a few silver bills in her hands. Since it was the Imperial Noble Consort's intention, they would just do so. There was no need to go against the future Queen. Besides, Eunuch Jinzhong was a man in the imperial court, so the Emperor must have meant the same thing.
If that’s the case, why not do it?
After Jinzhong dealt with the matter here, he walked up to Suo Xin, looked at her embarrassed appearance and whispered: "Miss Suo Xin, Concubine Xian is still in the palace thinking about having an affair. This was reported by her maid herself."
"Moreover, Concubine Xian has not had any intention of finding out the reason for you in the past few days. Don't you have any ideas in your mind?"
Jinzhong seemed to know that this would not sway her attitude, and he looked at her with a wicked smile on his face: "Even Imperial Doctor Jiang has been asking around these past few days, but Concubine Xian hasn't made any movement at all."
"As a human being, you should think more about yourself, don't you think so, Doctor Jiang?"
Jiang Yubin remained silent. Suo Xin looked at Jinzhong. Although she was extremely disappointed, she was still a servant after all, so she said stubbornly, "I am just a humble servant, why would I not consider it?"
Jinzhong ordered the nanny to take the person inside and lock him up. Jiang Yubin carefully supported her on the side. Jinzhong said with a playful smile: "Yes, I am a worthless life. In the eyes of many masters, my life is worthless. But you still have to think about the important people around you. Is your sacrifice worth it?"
"If a servant has done what he should do, then he will die a worthy death. But it also depends on which master he is serving and whether he is worthy of your loyalty."
Jinzhong then sighed again, "Others don't treat you as human beings, but the Imperial Noble Consort couldn't bear to let a girl like you die here, so she specially asked us to take a look. Don't worry, the Imperial Noble Consort is virtuous and will definitely not let anyone be wronged. You just wait and see what your master can do for you."
Jinzhong said as he left, looking at Jiang Yubin and said with a smile, "Let's go, Doctor Jiang."
Jiang Yubin held Suo Xin's bloody hand and looked at her with tears in his eyes: "Suo Xin, don't worry, I will definitely rescue you. Concubine Xian has no ability and she is definitely unreliable. Even if she is convicted, I will ask the Imperial Noble Concubine to release you."
As for how to beg, Jiang Yubin has not thought about it yet, but even if he has to give up all his wealth, he has to save惢心.
Even if it means being loyal to the Imperial Concubine!
When Jiang Yubin said that he wanted to be loyal to the Imperial Concubine, Jinzhong suddenly laughed and looked at Jiang Yubin as if he was looking at a fool. He patted his shoulder with pity and said, "Doctor Jiang, the Empress doesn't need you to do anything. You just need to wait."
You still want to be loyal to the Imperial Concubine? You? There are so many people who want to join the Imperial Concubine. What are you doing as a doctor with nothing? Are you dreaming?
He has finally secured the position of the second most popular person in front of the Imperial Concubine. Who do you think you are to dare to compete with us?
Jinzhong went back without saying much. It must be said that Jinzhong was indeed a good instigator. Although Suoxin was tough just now, she still listened to what was said.
After following Concubine Xian for so many years, she suddenly realized that she didn't need to suffer so much.
Jiang Yubin, who was so grateful to Concubine Xian at the beginning, now says that she is unreliable, which shows how disappointed Concubine Xian is with him.
She looked at the airtight cell, into which not a single ray of sunlight could penetrate. A little thought that had arisen in her mind a few years ago gradually took root in her heart. Now, the dark environment and the pain in her body seemed to be the sweet rain that nourished the growth of this desire. Her heart became more and more uneasy.
……
Speaking of惢心, Wei Yanwan wondered if the girl was suffering from a mental illness. After so many years of suffering, she got such a seemingly happy ending.
But she could never go back to the way she was before. Without her intervention, the Ministry of Punishment would have destroyed her body. This was irreversible. In such an era and environment, how could she have a good life?
