Pregnant Before the Royal Marriage

Chapter 548: Chapter 548: Husband and Wife are One

Jiang Ning was greatly astonished.

“Huang Ying, you must remember clearly, this is not a trivial matter.”

“Yes, this slave had also been unable to recall it before. It was not until just now that I saw General Mu by Crown Prince’s side that I suddenly remembered that incident.” Huang Ying’s expression was very serious, “I feel that the elegant handwriting I saw at that time is very similar to the one I just saw on the letter. However… after all, too much time has passed, and whether they are the same or not, I cannot be sure. Perhaps I remembered it wrong, or maybe…”

She was afraid that her memory might have made a mistake and wronged a good person.

But this matter concerned her Master’s innocence, so she had to reveal it.

She believed that her Master was a clear-headed person who would investigate thoroughly and not wrongly accuse others.

Watching her Master trapped in the East Palace every day being stripped of her rights by Concubine Li and enduring the Crown Prince’s indifference, she felt more miserable than anyone else.

Jiang Ning didn’t think as much as she did.

She only had one thing in mind.

If Mu Jian was really Denghua’s lover, and the one who instigated Denghua to harm Concubine Jin, then… the real mastermind behind all this would be Li Hongyuan, wouldn’t it?

Mu Jian was Li Hongyuan’s confidant, which was well-known to all.

Could Li Hongyuan be the one who poisoned Concubine Jin?

This speculation made Jiang Ning hardly dared to believe it.

Although the relationship between Concubine Jin and her son Li Hongyuan was not very close, there was no grievance or conflict between them in daily life. Most importantly, why would Li Hongyuan harm his own mother?

Concubine Jin might have been a bit lazy and indifferent, but she had always stayed away from the Imperial Court and never intervened in anything.

No matter how she thought about it, Li Hongyuan had no motive to harm Concubine Jin.

Seeing her serious expression, Huang Ying said softly, “Master, this matter needs to be investigated slowly and verified. After all, there are many people who can write similar handwriting. We must keep this matter a secret for now. You and Crown Prince must not have any friction.”

“With the way he treats me now, do I still have to be polite to him?” Jiang Ning sneered, “If he really is behind this, he shouldn’t expect any mercy. I will repay him what he did to me.”

“Master, please don’t be angry. Now you are Princess Consort, and you and Crown Prince are one. If anything happens to Crown Prince, can you be alright? If not for anything else, just look at the little Crown Prince and Princess.” Huang Ying was really afraid that she would reveal this matter because she held a grudge against Crown Prince.

Jiang Ning said, “That’s a future issue. Right now, I need to find a way to obtain Mu Jian’s handwriting for comparison. However…”

She hesitated, “If it really was Mu Jian, could he and Denghua have really kept their liaisons so well concealed?”

Huang Ying thought about it carefully and said, “After all, Mu Jian is always by the Crown Prince’s side, frequently following him in and out of the Splendid Palace, so he would have many chances to see Denghua. It’s not impossible for the two of them to get involved.”

“There are chances, but…” Jiang Ning thought of Rui’er she saw last night.

She was also a member of the Splendid Palace and was a spy arranged by her uncle. Judging by her appearance, she seemed to be as capable as Gucheng.

Could she really have not noticed the exchanges between Denghua and Mu Jian?

This made Jiang Ning doubt her own judgment again.

Maybe it was just a similarity in handwriting?

Jiang Ning’s mind was a little chaotic, and she pressed her temple, saying, “Never mind, let’s not think too much about it for now. The priority is to find some way to get Mu Jian’s handwriting.”

“That’s easy.” Huang Ying was confident this time, “There must be some at General Mu’s residence. Young Master and Old Master can help you get it.”
