A wicked mother swaps her son and sucks his blood? The true legitimate daughter is reborn and goes o

Song Qingning's voice was soft and gentle, and everyone looked at her.

Su Ling felt a sense of unease just from hearing her voice.

She didn't know how Song Qingning would try to stop her this time, but she was determined to marry Xie Yunli today!

Xie Rouan was feeling angry and helpless when she heard Song Qingning's words, and hope rose in her eyes.

"Fourth Sister-in-law..."

Fourth Sister-in-law will definitely have a solution!

She wanted to ask her fourth sister-in-law for her solution, but Su Ling couldn't hold back any longer.

"Your Majesty, what do you mean by that?" Su Ling blinked, and in an instant, her eyes welled up with tears. "I know Your Majesty doesn't like me, but I truly love Sister Rou."

Do you like Sister Rou?

Everyone present could see that she didn't actually "like Sister Rou" at all!

She desires the position of the mistress of the Prince Li's mansion!

Not only that, she even dared to act coy and affected in front of the Empress, which was nauseating.

Song Qingning's smile grew even colder. "I don't like you. Do you know why? You appear pure and innocent, but you are actually vicious. You seem untouched by worldly affairs, but you are full of desires."

"Such hypocrisy is worse than being completely open and honest. If you want to be a princess, just say so. It's so boring to use some seemingly innocent reason to cover it up!"

She said she was vicious, hypocritical, and boring!

Su Ling's expression darkened slightly, and she was about to argue.

Song Qingning didn't give her a chance.

"As for your question about what I meant by what I said just now?" Song Qingning smiled slightly and gave Hongling a wink.

Hongling immediately clapped her hands, and then two people walked in.

A man and a woman, dressed as servants of the Prince's mansion.

Everyone present was puzzled, including Su Ling, who had no idea why Song Qingning had summoned these two servants from the Prince's mansion.

"Tell me everything you've seen." Having spent so much time by Song Qingning's side, Hongling had already adopted the demeanor of a nanny in charge.

She gave the order.

The maid spoke first, "I am the incense attendant of the Prince's Palace. I am responsible for taking care of the incense burning in the masters' rooms and the sachets they wear."

"This morning, Miss Su came to me and said she wanted a sachet. I went to get it and when I came back, I saw her looking at the sachets that I was going to send to the masters today. I asked her a question casually, and Miss Su seemed a little guilty."

As the maid lifted the sachet, a fleeting look of panic crossed Su Ling's eyes.

As soon as the maid finished speaking, Su Ling immediately retorted, "Why would I feel guilty? I was just curious about what kind of incense Sister Rou was using, and after watching for a while, I was accused of feeling guilty. Your Majesty, I know you don't like me..."

"I don't like you, and you don't need to keep emphasizing it. As for whether you're curious about Rou'an's sachet or the Princess Consort's sachet, listen again, and then you can argue!" Song Qingning said.

Princess Consort Yu, Xie Rou'an, and even Xie Yunli all looked at their sachets without prior arrangement.

Xie Rouan and Xie Yunli's sachets were still hanging from their waists.

The sachet that Princess Yu used to wear at her waist has disappeared.

Princess Yu's expression changed slightly. "I... I remember wearing a sachet this morning."

After glancing at his personal maid again, the master and servant exchanged a look, both confirming that she had worn a sachet that morning.

The ladies present also reminisced.

"During the previous flower viewing banquet, I also saw that the Princess was wearing a sachet, which had a pattern of five blessings surrounding longevity embroidered with gold thread cloud design."

"Yes, yes, I saw it too."

The sachet was still on Princess Yu's person at the previous flower-viewing banquet, but it is now gone.

Was it because of the commotion when the princess fainted, or something else?

Everyone present sensed that something was amiss.

Thinking of the sachet, Su Ling quickly suppressed her worries.

The sachet was torn off Princess Yu's waist during the chaos of being taken back to her room after she fainted.

She threw the sachet into the lake in the palace.

She had surveyed the lake and found that there were undercurrents flowing into the Jinghe River outside the mansion. That was why she chose this method to destroy the evidence.

The sachet is now nowhere to be found.

Even if they suspect the sachet, without evidence, it's all for nothing.

Su Ling glanced at Song Qingning, not believing she could come up with anything.

But Hong Ling, who was standing next to Song Qingning, clapped her hands again.

Then another maid from the Prince's mansion came up carrying a tray.

The tray was covered with white silk, so you couldn't see what was on it.

Everyone was very curious.

At this moment, the servant beside the incense-serving maid spoke up, "This servant also saw Miss Su acting suspiciously today, throwing something into the lake."

Upon hearing this, Su Ling's expression changed drastically.

sneaking?

When she went to dispose of the body, she carefully looked around to make sure no one was there before she threw it away.

Where did this lackey come from?

The servant's voice continued:

"Out of curiosity, I jumped into the lake and fished the thing out."

Su Ling's face turned pale, and she had a bad feeling.

It was at this moment that Hongling lifted the white silk covering the tray.

A sachet is exposed to the air.

"Was it this sachet that you fished out?" Hongling asked.

"Exactly!"

And that sachet...

"This is the sachet I wore this morning," Princess Yu recognized it at a glance.

The personal maid of the Princess Consort Yu nodded in agreement.

Even the noble ladies present recognized him.

"It was worn by the princess today. Although it's wet, the gold thread pattern is still correct."

How did the sachet that was originally worn by Princess Yu end up in Su Ling's hands?

She also furtively threw the sachet into the lake.

Almost everyone sensed something unusual.

"How did my mother's sachet end up in your hands?" Xie Rou'an demanded angrily, a bad feeling creeping into her heart.

Su Ling bit her lip, "Sister Rou, I, I am..."

She wanted to say that she found it.

But Song Qingning interrupted her before she could speak.

"Imperial Physician Liu, since you're here, could you please take a look and see if there's anything wrong with this sachet?" Song Qingning gestured to the maid to bring the sachet over.

Everyone looked in that direction.

Physician Liu took the sachet, opened it, poured out the dried flowers inside, and examined it carefully. Suddenly, he saw something, and his expression turned frightened. He actually knelt on the ground.

"This, this is clematis!"

Clematis is poisonous, so how can it be used to make incense?

The expressions on everyone's faces changed.

"If I'm not mistaken, the Princess Consort's fainting and unconsciousness today may be due to this clematis," Physician Liu realized the seriousness of the matter.

If that's the case, then it means that the person has been poisoned.

Unfortunately, the symptoms of poisoning are not easily detected.

If that's the case, then who poisoned them?

Everyone, without prior arrangement, instinctively looked at Su Ling.

Amidst the suspicious gazes, Xie Rouan was already trembling with anger:

"Su Ling, what exactly is going on?"
