Chapter 112 The Queen's Suspicion
"Ever since the assassination of Prince Qi on the pleasure boat, when Su Yuheng came to see your father in the imperial court, the Queen Mother has been suspicious of her identity."
“It just hasn’t been confirmed.”
"I wanted to hold this banquet today to test her, but I didn't expect her to be so calm and composed."
Prince Rui frowned and looked at the queen.
He didn't expect that his mother had already suspected Su Yuheng?
It was only after his death in his previous life that he learned that Su Yuheng was the legitimate daughter of the Shen family and had been raised in the Dingbei Marquis Mansion.
In his previous life, Su Yuheng died in a very tragic way. He was killed by having hot oil poured into his throat and his body was thrown into a dry well.
In this life, when she met Su Yuheng on the pleasure boat, she always felt that Su Yuheng, like him, was a person who was living a second life.
Thinking that she had her own purpose in staying in the Su family, she did not reveal her identity.
She never even thought of using her own blood to detoxify Shen Wan.
Now, his mother has doubts.
Prince Rui looked displeased and looked at the Queen.
"Mother, even if you doubt Su Yuheng, why would you risk Wan'er?"
"In the final analysis, you just learned the dirty tricks of the harem and used them on your own people."
His face was cold as he stood up from his chair and glanced at the queen.
"If anything happens to Wan'er, don't blame me for severing the mother-son relationship with you!"
Prince Rui shook his sleeves and was about to step out of Fengyi Palace when he heard the Queen's faint voice behind him.
"Doesn't Huaijin want the two sisters to recognize each other?"
"Now that only Shen Wan and Old Madam Shen are left in the Shen family, do you really not want your Wan'er to live openly with her sister?"
"Don't you want to find out about Madam Shen's childbirth? Or do you think Shen Wan doesn't care at all?"
"And the whereabouts of Shen Wan's mother so far, don't you want to know?"
Prince Rui paused and his expression suddenly changed.
He turned around and looked at the queen in disbelief.
"What does this mean, mother?"
“What do you mean by the whereabouts of Shen Wan’s mother? What did the Queen Mother know?”
The queen raised the corners of her lips slightly, reached out to pour a cup of tea, and pushed it onto the table opposite her.
"Huai Jin, have you forgotten that Chen Wan's biological mother, Zhao Yurou, and I are close friends?"
Prince Rui strode to the Queen's side and slowly sat down on the chair opposite the Queen.
"What does the Queen Mother know? The Queen Mother means that Shen Wan's mother is still alive?"
The Queen sighed and said, "I only got a glimpse of information, I don't know the details."
"When Shen Wan's mother was pregnant, rumors spread throughout the capital that she was carrying the child of Qin Prime Minister Minglang. This palace is really curious, then, is Su Yuheng the daughter of Shen Li or the daughter of Qin Prime Minister?"
"If her heart blood can cure Shen Wan's poison, it proves that she is Shen Li's daughter. If it can't, she is the daughter of Qin's Prime Minister Minglang. This woman cannot be kept."
The more the queen spoke, the more deeply Prince Rui frowned.
Ultimately, this is a gamble with Shen Wan's life.
"Mother, do you know where the general's wife is now?"
The queen smiled and said, "It's just a rumor. She has become the canary in the cage of Qin's Prime Minister Minglang."
Prince Rui was somewhat incredulous.
Even in his previous life, he didn't know the whereabouts of Shen Wan's mother and Shen Tingzhou before he died.
Now, in Qin?
"I understand. I will find a way to get Su Yuheng to detoxify Wan'er, and I will also find a way to rescue Madam Shen."
"But if your Majesty Queen poisons Wan'er again or uses her again, I will no longer recognize you as your mother. Don't blame me for not thinking of the mother-son relationship!"
Prince Rui said this indifferently, shook his sleeves and left Fengyi Palace.
The queen looked at Prince Rui's receding back and sighed deeply.
"What a lovesick person."
"It seems that the truth behind Yu Rou's childbirth should be uncovered."
The other side.
Under the protection of several palace servants, Su Yanqiu changed into eunuch's clothes.
He followed a young eunuch to Chengxiang Hall where Concubine Gao was.
When Su Yuheng saw Su Yanqiu leave, he quickly got up from his chair and asked Huo Xingzhi's men to find the palace maid's clothes.
After she changed, she held a glass of wine and secretly followed Su Yanqiu.
Su Yanqiu has never liked these royal banquets, but he came today, which made Su Yuheng a little suspicious.
She looked at Su Yanqiu, who was dressed in eunuch's attire, in front of her and followed carefully behind him.
After following for a distance, Su Yanqiu went to a bedroom.
Su Yuheng raised his eyes and looked at the plaque on the bedroom.
There are three big characters "Chengxiang Hall" written on it.
Therefore, the person Su Yanqiu wanted to see was Concubine Gao.
The Prince of Qi is now imprisoned. Could it be that Concubine Gao and Su Yanqiu are still thinking about releasing the Prince of Qi?
Just as Su Yuheng was thinking, he suddenly heard footsteps behind him.
It was the footsteps of the palace patrol guards.
Su Yuheng quickly turned around, lowered his head, and walked towards the patrol guard without even daring to breathe.
The patrol leader stopped, looked at her back, then turned back and continued walking.
When Su Yuheng thought he was free, his wrist suddenly tightened and he was pulled directly to the west side of Chengxiang Hall by a big hand.
"Heng'er."
A man's deep voice came, and Su Yuheng subconsciously raised his eyes and met Huo Xingzhi's eyes.
"king……"
Just as she was about to speak, Huo Xingzhi reached out and covered her lips.
"Be good and listen carefully."
Su Yuheng broke free and whispered, "Your Highness, why are you here? Is there anyone coming to the west of Chengxiang Palace?"
Huo Xingzhi said, "Probably not. Su Yanqiu is currently discussing important matters with Concubine Gao in this bedroom, and the palace maids and eunuchs are guarding the front yard."
Su Yuheng patted his chest and said, "That's good."
She held her breath, put her ear to the window, and listened carefully to the movements in Chengxiang Hall.
In Chengxiang Hall, Su Yanqiu handed a letter to Concubine Gao.
"I, your humble servant, have come here at the behest of the Princess to offer advice to the Imperial Concubine."
"The Princess said that this plan will definitely allow the Imperial Concubine to help His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi make a comeback."
The flamboyant handwriting on the letter made Concubine Gao's lips curl up: "Prince Su, you and the eldest princess are really bold. You can even come up with such a plan."
"However, for my Jing Che and for Da Qin, I am willing to give it a try."
"For the Qin Dynasty?" Su Yanqiu frowned.
Concubine Gao smiled and deliberately avoided his question.
"Princess, are you okay now?"
Su Yanqiu nodded: "The princess did not go to Lingnan. She is now in Yanjing and everything is fine."
"I have already asked someone to introduce Yu Wushuang, Jiangdong's top strategist, to His Royal Highness the Prince of Qi. The rest is up to Her Majesty the Imperial Concubine."
Concubine Gao nodded: "I understand."
"Prince Su, there is something I need you to pass on to the princess on my behalf."
After Concubine Gao finished speaking, she waved her right hand.
A little palace maid brought out a box.
After Noble Concubine Gao had the box handed to Su Yanqiu, she said, "Now, I will act according to your plan, and Prince Su must not reveal himself."
"Yes, my lady."
Su Yuheng and Huo Xingzhi overheard the entire conversation between the two people in the bedroom.
Su Yuheng whispered, "Is the Princess still in Yanjing?"
"Your Highness, what does Concubine Gao mean by the Great Qin?"
"Could it be that Concubine Gao and the Princess are both from Qin?"
