Chapter 240 Chu Li Drugs Chi Yan
Chu Li was shocked. Who was the woman that Ye Hanting slept with that night?
The flower of Gaoling, Ye Hanting, has slept with a woman? When did it happen and where?
Chu Li held his breath nervously.
Could it be that the woman at the palace banquet more than three years ago was her?
All the questions suddenly popped up in Chu Li's mind.
Chi Yan said as he worked: "It's been so long, why did you suddenly think of this?"
Chu Li pricked up his ears. Ye Hanting had slept with a woman and it had been a long time since then. Could it really have happened on the day of the palace banquet?
"I'm just a little curious." Lan Yi chopped off the newly brought wood with an axe.
Chu Li continued to listen to the conversation between the two.
Suddenly, Kong Wu came to her side and said, "My lady, the palace guards came to report that Eunuch Li is looking for you everywhere."
When Lan Yi and Chi Yan saw the prince, they immediately shut up, and Chu Li left in frustration.
She sat in the carriage on the way back to the palace and thought to herself: I must find out today whether Ye Hanting was the man that night.
If he is, then Xiao Yueyue and Xiao Ming's father is Ye Hanting.
Chu Li was extremely confused. He followed Kong Wu away and immediately returned to the East Palace.
When Eunuch Li saw Chu Li, he spoke with great respect.
"Your Highness, His Majesty learned about the Imperial Guard Ji Xueying this morning, and asked this old servant to pass on his message. His Majesty is worried that Ji Xueying is up to something, and he might even want to murder the King, so he specifically asked me to tell you that this case is yours to investigate thoroughly."
Chu Li nodded, "Please tell my father, Eunuch Li. I will investigate the case thoroughly."
Eunuch Li withdrew respectfully.
Chu Li thought about it and realized that the most important witness in Ji Xueying's case was Ji Changqing. As long as he woke up and identified Ji Xueying, the case would be easy to handle.
Her father asked her to check whether Ji Xueying had other matters, and that she needed to investigate slowly.
A desperado like Ji Xueying probably would not confess if he was interrogated, so it would be better to start investigating others.
......
Ji Xueying was imprisoned in a large prison. His eyes were dark as he thought about how to get out of here.
He gritted his teeth secretly. If Xuanying hadn't known the prince, he wouldn't have ended up like this.
He thought of Yun Wanying, the prince, and the prince's illegitimate son.
Why would the prince secretly raise a child outside the palace? This matter could be a big deal or a small one.
If it is a serious offense, it can be considered as deceiving the emperor; if it is a minor offense, it can ruin the reputation of the prince.
He only needs to fabricate a story that the prince has an affair with some woman of lowly status, and that child will become a stain on the prince.
Now, Xuanying has currying favor with the prince, but he is now locked up in prison. Since he is not having a good life, neither Xuanying nor the prince will have an easy life.
When the prison boss Lao Chen walked past him, the two men exchanged glances.
When the others were gone, Ji Xueying took out a hundred taels of silver and gave it to Lao Chen, "Old buddy, help me pass a message to someone."
Old Chen quietly accepted the banknote, listened carefully to Ji Xueying's words, and went out.
Yun Wanying has been feeling uneasy these days. Ever since she had physical contact with Brother Han Ting that day, she went to look for Ye Hanting for several days in a row, but he was not in the Taifu Mansion.
Even Chi Yan and Lan Yi were not there.
He was often not seen in the court.
Although she hated the fact that the prince possessed Ye Hanting, she also knew that the matter of the prince raising an illegitimate child outside the palace could be a big deal or a small one.
Unless it was absolutely necessary, she didn't want to harm the prince.
At the beginning, she was just tempted by the conditions offered by Ji Xueying.
Thinking about it now, she regretted agreeing to Ji Xueying.
If she went to His Majesty to report the Crown Prince, Brother Han Ting would definitely hate her if he knew about it.
Yun Wanying was in mixed mood and paced back and forth in the room.
She regretted it. She regretted being so impulsive that day and doing that thing with Ye Hanting.
Ye Hanting must think that she is a casual and frivolous woman. Brother Hanting avoids her. Is it because he despises and looks down on her?
Yun Wanying burst into tears. She just liked Brother Han Ting too much and she was unwilling to lose to a man.
Originally, she just wanted to take advantage of Brother Han Ting's drunkenness that day to express her feelings to him.
However, after Ye Hanting kissed her, she had an idea that she wanted to compare herself with the prince.
She didn't believe that a woman's body would be inferior to a man's. That was because Brother Han Ting didn't know the benefits of women.
So, she became impulsive and obsessed, and did everything she could to please him.
Now think about it, what did she do? Not only did she lose her virginity before getting married, but she also made Brother Han Ting look down on her.
Yun Wanying played the piano in a distracted mood. Her mother was coming to see her in a few days. How would she explain it if her mother found out that her uterine blood was gone?
Do I really have to force Brother Han Ting to marry her?
The maid Xiaodie brought in someone.
Yun Wanying scolded Xiaodie, and when Xiaodie quietly told her that Ji Xueying had sent someone to come, she immediately met with Lao Chen secretly.
After hearing what Ji Xueying asked Lao Chen to convey, Yun Wanying said awkwardly, "Go back and tell him. I'll think about it."
......
Chu Li helped Ji Changqing with acupuncture at Liuhemen.
She wanted to wake Ji Changqing up as soon as possible and make Ji Xueying confess his guilt as soon as possible.
However, compared to Ji Xueying's case, what she was most concerned about was the conversation between Chi Yan and Lan Yi today.
Who did Ye Hanting sleep with?
Chu Li returned to the house he bought, went back to his room, took out a small pill, and said to himself: I'm sorry, Brother Chi Yan.
Chu Li saw Ye Hanting going out to do some work, and Lan Yi followed him out as well.
She smiled slightly, everything was ready, only the east wind was missing.
Chi Yan was supervising the carpenter's work. Chu Li handed Chi Yan a cup of tea and said, "You've worked hard. Have some tea."
Chi Yan took a sip and put it down. He put his hands on his waist and said, "Your Highness, these craftsmen work very quickly. I estimate that your house will be repaired in a few days."
Chu Li smiled, "That's good."
Chi Yan took another sip of tea, and after a while, he felt dizzy and a little tired.
"Your Highness, it's getting dark. I'm going to rest first. You should also rest early."
Chi Yan went back to rest.
On the bed, Chi Yan was sweating profusely, as if he had entered a nightmare.
Chu Li pushed the door open and came in. She had given Chi Yan a drug that would make him lose his mind.
She stood beside Chi Yan's bed and asked him straight to the point.
"Chi Yan, when did Master Taifu sleep with a woman?"
Chi Yan's vision was blurry and he couldn't see clearly the person in front of him. His brain was completely out of control.
What he said seemed to pour out from his consciousness.
"The master had a fever attack at a palace banquet. Lan Yi didn't have time to send medicine to suppress the toxicity. The master was afraid that others would find out about his strange illness, so he went to the Yunguang Palace to rest..."
Chu Li's pupils shrank suddenly. Ye Hanting really went to Yunguang Palace!
Could he really be the man that night?
She asked anxiously, "Did Ye Hanting go to the Yunguang Palace three and a half years ago?"
