"Of course I can understand. Master Li is doing this to seek justice for Editor Lin as soon as possible. But I have been feeling cold recently and have been taking medicine at home. If you don't believe it, you can ask the aunt at home.

Mom, I really can’t stay here for too long.”

The jailer replied: "Don't worry, princess, Mr. Li will be here soon."

As the jailer was talking, two jailers nearby went to ask Li Yuan to come over. If something happened to Xu Ruyi in their place, they would not be able to bear the responsibility.

Sure enough, within a short while, Li Yuan walked quickly towards where Xu Ruyi was.

Xu Ruyi knew that she was relying on the power of Empress Dowager Jiang and was a prominent figure in the harem. These people did not dare to do anything to her without conclusive evidence.

Li Yuan saluted Xu Ruyi, sat down opposite Xu Ruyi respectfully, and said: "Princess, you are really flattering me to come to a place like this."

Xu Ruyi said with a sad face: "I also hope to be able to help. After all, I have visited Editor Lin twice in the past few days at the order of the Queen Mother. Maybe I can provide some clues."

Xu Ruyi's proactive attitude made Li Yuan feel a lot more at ease. After all, he was worried that if these nobles were not guilty, he would offend them if he was not careful.

"First of all, I am very grateful to the princess for her understanding and cooperation." Li Yuan thanked him first, and then continued: "Then, could you please tell me, princess, how you met with Editor Lin these two times?"

Xu Ruyi explained seriously: "When I went to see editor Lin for the first time, I went to the garden with him on a whim. At that time, we admired the flowers and wrote poems together. I also gave him some questions for his poems. At that time,

We were drinking tea together. The tea was newly bought by Editor Lin. I took a sip and it was quite delicious. At that time, I just wanted to enjoy the scenery and talk with him. Seeing that he was in good condition, I also

I can give the eldest lady an explanation. Unexpectedly, before the view was over, someone in the house ran to tell the three consorts. At this point, I have to say that these servants of their family really didn’t give anything.

I left a trace of goodwill in this palace. I am afraid that the words that spread out may have added fuel to the fire. The three princes got angry and came to the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion, but the servant refused to open the door. There was some conflict at that time and the door of the Prime Minister's Mansion was broken. By the way.

Prince Jing was also in the garden at that time. He has been staying with Editor Lin in the Prime Minister's Mansion recently. He can testify that what I said is the truth."

The jailer beside Li Yuan quickly recorded Xu Ruyi's words, and Li Yuan continued to ask: "What's next? What kind of conflict happened after the door was broken?"

Xu Ruyi replied: "That's a misunderstanding. The third prince-in-law also heard the slander and was afraid that something would happen to me in the house. He is just a child, reckless and willful. Editor Lin is also a generous man and did not argue with the third prince-in-law.

, the two quickly reconciled. So we went back with Prince Jing."

Li Yuan nodded and said, "Go on."

"After returning home, I always felt that the three consorts were too rash. You can't just smash the door of the prime minister's house just because you are jealous! The more I thought about it, the more uncomfortable it became. This was really rude, so I went

I asked Prince Jing when he was going to the Prime Minister’s Mansion. If we went together, the Third Prince Consort probably wouldn’t have so many worries. Then, one day later, I and Prince Jing went to the Prime Minister’s Mansion together.”

Li Yuan interrupted her and asked suddenly: "In other words, when you went to the Prime Minister's Mansion these two times, Prince Jing was always by your side?"

Xu Ruyi responded: "Yes, he has basically never left my sight. When he left, he came back with us."

"Then why does he come back with you? He is different from you. You are just visiting, he is investigating the case, there is no reason for you to go together."

"I don't know much about this. I just felt that I was on the way, so I came back with him. And when I went there for the second time, I thought that Prince Jing always ran to the prime minister's house anyway, so why not go with him?

Go, lest the prince-in-law would get angry at home. Who would have thought that even if he went with Prince Jing, he would not agree and went on a hunger strike at home. At that time, I was angry and had no other choice, so I simply went back to the palace and told the eldest lady that I had no choice.

I visited him again. At this time, Editor Lin said that he was almost ready to go to court, so I handed over the report directly. I don’t know what happened next, but I have been in Ci’an Palace for the past two days.

"

The jailer nodded while recording carefully.

At this time, Xu Ruyi suddenly remembered something again and continued: "By the way, sir, you should know that Editor Lin has always come to Ci'an Palace to pay his respects to the Empress in recent years. The Empress is a talented person, and Editor Lin

He is a talented person with a three-level degree, so whenever the eldest lady's writings, calligraphy and paintings require quotations from scriptures, she will have Editor Lin mark them for appreciation. Although the eldest lady did not say anything about this, she felt sorry for it in her heart.

Yes, she didn't sleep all night last night, and I had to ask her to take some soothing medicine. So if you have anything to ask, just ask me. Don't disturb the queen these two days.

.”

"Princess, don't worry, we still know this."

Xu Ruyi nodded and continued: "That's probably all I know. There are some details that I may not be able to think of. You can remind me and I'll think about it better."

Li Yuan looked at the book that recorded Xu Ruyi's confession and said, "Did the princess see Editor Lin during the two days he returned to the court?"

"I met him once. When he came back, he paid a greeting to the eldest lady. At that time, I was placing the goldfish sent to the eldest lady in the backyard, and I met him once."

"Did the princess see anything during that meeting?"

Xu Ruyi thought about it carefully and then said: "When he came, he stopped using crutches. When I saw him before, he had a cane ready. If he couldn't hold it anymore, he would use it. It looked like he didn't need to use crutches at that time.

Yes, I thought he was cured."

Li Yuan nodded again: "We haven't seen each other since?"

"Never seen it before."

Li Yuan responded, and that was probably all the confession Xu Ruyi could give now.

Li Yuan carefully read the confessions and said nothing for a long time.

Instead, Xu Ruyi took the initiative and asked, "Will you investigate the Third Prince Consort later?"

Li Yuan replied: "Everyone who has had contact with Editor Lin recently needs to be investigated."

"Then I'll wait here for the prince-in-law. He is a coward and very timid. He had a conflict with Editor Lin at that time, and he must be afraid of being wronged. But I still want to say something for him. If he knows

Poison can kill people, why would he go to the Prime Minister's Mansion to make mischief before poisoning? Is he afraid that if something happens, others won't suspect him?"
