I just want to live a good life

Chapter 304: Strike first to gain the upper hand

Su Nuan arranged Leng Yue to live in Luoyingxuan just to disgust Dong Jingshu, and now being pointed out by Leng Yue in person, she felt a little embarrassed.

He gave a dry laugh and quickly changed the subject.

"Xun Zheng has arrived and is staying in the mansion."

"I know."

"But she doesn't want to see you."

"I expected it. I didn't come here today just for her."

"Oh? This means you have something to talk to me about?"

"It's to send the good news to Concubine Xia first."

"What good news?"

"Concubine Dong has been confined by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"why?"

"Why is Concubine Xia asking me about her own handwriting?"

"My handwriting?"

"Yes, didn't Concubine Xia have someone find out about Concubine Dong letting the cat commit murder?"

"Are you saying that His Highness confined Dong Jingshu because he knew that Black Cat was manipulated by someone to hurt people?"

"Exactly."

"How did His Royal Highness know about this?"

"This morning, Imperial Physician Yao brought a black cat to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. Didn't Concubine Xia know about this?"

Su Nuan looked at Leng Yue thoughtfully. This woman was not a good person either. She stayed in Luoyingxuan all day and never went out, but she knew everything that happened in the Prince's Mansion.

But the news she brought was really useful to me.

No wonder Mu Yunting asked me that question out of the blue. It turned out that he not only knew that I had asked Doctor Yao to examine the black cat, but he also knew the result of the examination long ago.

There must be something wrong with the black cat, that's why Mu Yunting punished Dong Jingshu.

Dong Jingshu could do such a thing, but it was a bit stupid to do it with her own cat.

Also, what Imperial Doctor Yao did was not right. I clearly asked him to secretly send the test results to me, so why did he just so carelessly send the results directly to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?

Is it to seek credit?

No, Doctor Yao is not that kind of person.

There must be something I haven't figured out.

"Don't Concubine Xia find it strange?"

Leng Yue suddenly asked.

"what do you mean?"

"Why would Concubine Dong suddenly attack Xun Zheng, and in front of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince? Whether she succeeds or not, it will not do her any good."

"You mean she's innocent?"

Leng Yue replied decisively: "Yes."

Su Nuan continued to ask: "Who do you think was behind this? Or do you think it was just a coincidence that the black cat hurt someone?"

"Based on the reaction of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, it is no coincidence that the black cat hurt someone, which means someone is behind this. As far as I know, there were only three people at the scene yesterday, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Concubine Xia, and Xun Zheng. So we can tell who is behind this by looking at who benefits from this incident."

"Dong Jingshu was punished by the crown prince, and it seems that I am the biggest beneficiary."

"Yes, so the person most likely to have tampered with this matter is you, Concubine Xia."

"But I didn't do it, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince would never do such a thing. So you mean that Xun Zheng was the one who did it behind the scenes?"

"She's capable of doing this."

"I don't doubt it, but she just entered the palace yesterday, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince was always by her side. Didn't she have a chance to take action?"

Su Nuan expressed the doubts in her mind and waited for Leng Yue's answer.

But Leng Yue did not answer her. She just said calmly, "This is the terrifying thing about Xun Zheng."

If Xun Zheng was the one who did this, then her methods were indeed very clever. The black cat's target yesterday was me. What would happen if I was disfigured by the black cat?

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will severely punish Dong Jingshu for this, and she will also be disliked by the Crown Prince because of the scar on her face.

She got rid of two thorns in her side at once, and no one would suspect her.

Su Nuan felt a chill on her back.

"So Concubine Xia, you can't let her gain a foothold in the Crown Prince's Mansion. If you really let her become the Crown Princess, you can imagine what kind of life is waiting for you."

"Then what do you think I should do?"

"Strike first and get rid of Xun Zheng."

Su Nuan's heart was pounding. Leng Yue once said that she wanted to seek revenge on Xun Zheng, but she never said how she was going to do it.

It turns out that Leng Yue's goal all along was to kill Xun Zheng.

And at this moment, because of the same interests, Leng Yue wanted to turn himself into a knife in her hand.

Su Nuan remained calm and asked calmly, "Why do you think I have this ability?"

"Concubine Xia just didn't put all your energy into dealing with Xun Zheng. Otherwise, with your intelligence, you are fully capable of dealing with her."

"Why are you so anxious?"

"What?" Leng Yue was puzzled.

"Why are you so anxious?" Su Nuan said word by word, "Didn't you say you would help me become the Crown Princess?"

"It is precisely because I want you to take the position of Crown Princess that I want to get rid of Xun Zheng! The Xun family's case has been overturned, and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has taken her into the Crown Prince's Mansion. Do you want to watch the Crown Prince marry Xun Zheng and watch her take the position of Crown Princess?"

"I don't want to see her become the Crown Princess, but I don't want to get rid of her either. It won't do me any good."

After a moment of silence, Leng Yue said, "I understand what Concubine Xia means. I will do what you don't want to do. I don't ask for your help, I just ask you to turn a blind eye."

Su Nuan frowned: "I advise you not to act rashly. She was able to frame Concubine Dong on the first day she entered the Prince's Mansion. She must have helpers in this mansion."

"Thank you for the reminder, Concubine Xia. Leng Yue will take her leave!"

After seeing Leng Yue off, the person who was sent to Yao Taiyi's residence to gather information came back to report.

Liao Xinyi did not leave and was still in Yao's mansion.

This made Su Nuan feel relieved.

But the next piece of news shocked her greatly. The reason why Doctor Yao directly told the prince the results of the black cat examination was because he received the news from Su Nuan this morning.

Su Nuan was sure that she had never told him such a message, that is, someone did this in her name.

This person not only knew what happened in the Prince's Mansion, but also knew that Su Nuan asked Doctor Yao to examine the black cat.

Su Nuan carefully recounted what happened last night. Mu Yunting wanted to beat the black cat to death on the spot, but she asked someone to do it outside on the pretext that the black cat had soiled the room, and asked Chun Liu to rescue the black cat.

She originally wanted to send the black cat far away and release it, but later she changed her mind and wanted Doctor Yao to help check if there was anything wrong with the black cat.

The cat was put into the medicine box and taken away by Yao Taiyi's medicine boy. Only a few people in Duiyueju knew about this process.

Until Doctor Yao left the Prince's Mansion, the only person in the mansion who knew that Su Nuan had saved the black cat was the guard who was about to kill the black cat, apart from the few people in Duiyueju.

But the guard only knew that Concubine Xia's people rescued the black cat, and he could not have known that Imperial Physician Yao examined the black cat.

So Su Nuan guessed that the person who leaked the news was around Doctor Yao.

Could it be that Xun Zheng's hands have reached so far that even Doctor Yao is under her control?
