Chapter 811 Denying it to the Death!
Li Wanhe never expected things to turn out this way.
How did she become the villain who plotted against and harmed her elder sister? It was clearly the Crown Prince who was plotting against her; when had she ever plotted against Li Wanhua?
But now, no one will believe anything she says.
How could this be?
"No! I didn't. Sister, believe me, I really didn't."
At this moment, how could Li Wanhua dare to believe her half-sister's words? Just thinking about how she had almost been violated by that Prince Consort Luo, her eyes immediately filled with disgust and wariness when she looked at her sister.
"I have always treated you with all my heart. In the manor, whether it was food, clothing, daily necessities, or maids and servants, Mother has never mistreated you in the slightest. Why do you have to treat me like this? I am older than you, and it is only natural that my cousin is worried about my marriage. Why do you have to force me like this? Li Wanhe, have you lost your conscience? You really have a way of thinking to frame your own sister!"
"No! I didn't, I really didn't."
"It seems you won't give up until you've hit rock bottom? No problem, since things have come to this point, let's just get to the bottom of it."
As soon as Mu Xin Nuan finished speaking, she looked directly at the girl and asked, "Are you going to tell the truth yourself, or will I have someone torture you first before you speak?"
The girl was terrified and blurted out, "No! You can't torture me! I'm from the General of the State's Mansion, not the Crown Prince's Palace. You can't do this!"
"Heh, no? You're right, you're not my maid, but this is the Eastern Palace. If you dare to cause trouble here, I can order your entire family to be exterminated, and no one will say a word."
Aunt Fang shook her head. This master is stupid, and the servants are stupid too. "Guards, drag him away."
"No, no! Miss, please save me! Please, Miss, I did everything you asked. The incense in the incense burner was given to me by you too!"
"What fragrance?" As soon as Aunt Fang raised her hand, the two palace servants immediately stopped and questioned her.
Li Wanhe glared at her, "What nonsense are you talking about? When did I give you any incense?"
"Miss, you can't do this. I still have a family to support. Miss, things have come to this, so please accept it."
Mu Xin Nuan chuckled lightly, "You're quite clever. Since that's the case, fine, then you tell me. Explain the whole story clearly, and I might consider being lenient with you. But if you dare to utter even a single lie, I will make sure you die a horrible death."
"Yes, Your Highness, I will tell you everything."
The girl glanced at the incense burner with trepidation. The incense inside had long since burned out, and only the burner remained.
"The Fourth Miss gave me two small pieces of incense. I added one piece shortly after the two young ladies came in. This incense can make people drowsy. The young lady and I had already taken the antidote beforehand. The other two palace maids were standing at the door, far from the incense burner, so they were not seriously injured."
The maid glanced cautiously at the Third Miss, "But the Third Miss was closest to the incense burner, so she soon began to feel tired and weak all over. That's why the Fourth Miss called for someone to help the Third Miss away."
"And then? After that, I don't know anything else."
It must be said that this girl was quite clever. She didn't reveal Li Wanhe's later plans.
Or perhaps, this girl herself doesn't know what Li Wanhe's plan really is.
"Didn't you say you were given two spices in total? Where's the other one?"
"There was another piece, which I put in the place where the Third Miss was resting. Because the Fourth Miss was worried that the Third Miss had inhaled too little sleeping pills and would wake up too early, I put it in the incense burner over there."
"Aunt Fang, take a royal physician and go examine her."
"Yes, ma'am."
Soon, the imperial physician who came to examine the incense burner gave his conclusion: the incense burner had indeed been filled with incense containing sleeping potions, but it seemed that the amount was not large.
The result that Aunt Fang brought from another place was exactly the same as here.
Lady Liu frowned deeply. "If that's the case, then it's impossible for Consort Luo to have done something so disrespectful in the Eastern Palace."
Mu Xinnuan raised her eyebrows slightly, understanding that she meant that no aphrodisiac drugs were found here.
Then Steward De came in to give his report.
"what happened?"
"Your Majesty, this is the tea that Consort Luo drank half of earlier. It was originally going to be cleared away, but His Highness the Crown Prince instructed me to bring it here to you."
Mu Xin Nuan turned her head slightly, "Imperial Physician, please."
"Yes, ma'am."
Li Wanhe's heart clenched. At this moment, she finally understood that she had been tricked by the Crown Prince. She was certain that there was something wrong with the tea, but she really couldn't understand why the Crown Prince would do such a thing to harm her.
"Your Majesty, it is indeed true that an aphrodisiac has been added to this tea."
What else don’t you understand?
Li Wanhe was speechless this time, while Li Wanhua staggered, her face turning ashen.
"Someone, help the Third Miss to a quiet place to rest and take good care of her."
"Yes, ma'am."
Li Wanhua was helped out, while Madam Xu glared at Li Wanhe kneeling on the ground with resentment, wishing she could go up and skin her alive!
"Alright, the truth has come to light. Second Aunt, why don't you go and keep Third Cousin company? I think she's quite frightened."
"Yes, then I shall take my leave for now. But what about here?"
"Don't worry, Grandmother will naturally have someone take her back."
Madam Li truly felt ashamed to remain seated in the East Palace. Her granddaughter had actually done something so shameless on her granddaughter's turf. She had completely lost face.
"Let's pick a day later and send it to the Luo family."
"No! Grandmother, I have been wronged. I did not frame my elder sister. You cannot convict me based on the words of these servants."
Li Wanhe knew that her becoming a concubine in the Luo family was now a fact that could not be changed, but she could not just go to the Luo family like that. In the future, she would still need the Luo family to rely on.
"What are you trying to say? The facts are clear. Would even your personal maid frame you?"
The old lady felt a little tired. "Take all the maids around the Fourth Miss back to the manor, lock them up, and deal with them after we get back."
"Yes, old lady."
Inside the room, only Mu Xin Nuan, the old lady, Liu Shi, and Li Wan He, who was kneeling on the ground, crying as if she were going to die, remained.
