Chapter 208 Even My Own Brother Was Lied To
Nanny Su was right. The Sixth Princess is indeed much better now.
Now I'm just putting on an act to make the Queen Mother feel sorry for me.
As they were talking, Aunt Sun came back.
The Queen Mother saw her hesitated to speak, turned her head to look at Lu Xing lying on the bed and said, "You should have a good rest. The Royal Grandmother will go back first."
"Goodbye, Empress Dowager." Lu Xinghui bowed politely again, but after the Empress Dowager turned around, a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
But this smile fell into the eyes of Nanny Su.
Nanny Su's face darkened instantly, but she just followed the Queen Mother with her head down, not saying anything.
After the Empress Dowager arrived at the palace and sat down, Nanny Sun told her in detail what she had just heard in Yu's study.
"Prince Pei brought something in, saying it was some kind of poison that could cause abdominal pain."
"I think it was the Sixth Princess who was poisoned."
At this point, Nanny Sun's voice gradually became quieter: "I heard from Prince Pei that it was found under the Royal Consort's desk."
"Qingyan?" Upon hearing this, the Queen Mother raised her head in shock and looked at Nanny Sun, unable to come back to her senses for a moment.
Nanny Sun and Nanny Su looked at each other and neither of them said a word.
Nanny Su suddenly remembered the appearance of the Sixth Princess just now, and a trace of doubt flashed through her mind.
Before he could open his mouth, the Crown Prince came in from outside in a hurry: "Greetings to the Empress Dowager."
Then he looked at the Queen Mother with anxiety: "Grandmother, I heard that Xing Hui was poisoned. How is he now?"
The Queen Mother saw the Prince's concern for her sister and smiled, "Don't worry, Jin Yao. The doctor has prescribed medicine and she is much better now."
"How could he be poisoned?"
Hearing the prince's words, the queen mother recalled what Nanny Sun had said just now. However, because she was in front of the prince, she did not say anything: "Xinghui is still a child after all. I think he ate something bad."
The Crown Prince shook his head and said, "Grandmother, there is no need to hide this from me. I have already heard from Prince Pei that poison was found under Empress Chen's desk in Yu's study."
When the prince said this, he respectfully bowed to the queen mother and bent down without getting up: "Grandmother, although I trust Empress Chen, I still need to be careful at this time."
"If it really has something to do with Madam Chen, I am willing to take the blame for her."
The Queen Mother was moved when she heard the Prince's words. She stood up with the help of Nanny Sun and helped the Prince up: "Jin Yao, don't worry. As long as this matter has nothing to do with Qing Yan, I will definitely clear her name."
After a pause, he added, "I also believe in Qingyan's character and believe that she would never do such a thing."
Song Qingyan originally intended to make a big deal out of this matter.
Not to mention that there were people who were dissatisfied with Song Qingyan and secretly helped her.
The news spread quickly in the harem, causing a huge uproar.
Concubine Lan in the palace was very worried and hurried to Qingyun Palace.
It happened that Concubine Wen was also in Qingyun Palace.
The three of them looked at each other and then laughed.
"The whole palace is in chaos, but you are the only one who is so leisurely in the palace." Concubine Lan was anxious at first, but when she saw how leisurely and happy Song Qingyan and Concubine Wen were, she calmed down.
"Don't panic, Sister Lan," Concubine Wen stood up and poured a cup of tea for Concubine Lan, pushed it in front of Concubine Lan, and spoke softly, "Sister Chen has always had her own ideas."
"I don't think it will go wrong."
Concubine Lan then turned to look at Song Qingyan, waiting for her to explain.
Song Qingyan looked at her and chuckled, "I don't know what's going on."
"But if it's placed under my desk, it must be directed at me. In that case, I might as well make a big deal out of it."
"I want to see who is behind this."
This time, not only Concubine Lan, but even Concubine Wen was shocked: "It was your suggestion?"
[That's not true. Mother is so excited! She told Jinxin to spread the news everywhere!]
[It feels like the palace will be very lively from now on! ]
[So exciting, so exciting. 】
[I must let Sister Qionghua know so that we can watch the show together.]
While Lu Xingwan was daydreaming, Qiong Hua suddenly pushed the door open and came in. After seeing Concubine Lan and Concubine Wen, she was stunned for a moment and bowed slightly: "Your Majesty."
Song Qingyan looked at her and waved to her: "Come here."
Pointing to the wine that had been prepared on the table, he said, "This is the wine that His Majesty sent just now. You didn't get to drink it just now, so take it back and try it."
Qiong Hua did not hesitate to pick up the jar and bowed to Song Qingyan: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
"Then I'll go back first." Then he left the main hall without looking back.
Concubine Lan was shocked when she saw Qiong Hua's appearance: "My sister's maid in the palace is..."
Concubine Lan felt that the phrase "no rules" was not quite appropriate.
Song Qingyan didn't care: "Qiong Hua is not a maid in my palace, but a female doctor I hired. She has excellent medical skills. I'm afraid she can open a clinic outside."
"It's a pity that she is in my palace."
"It's hard to find people with the temperaments of you two, master and servant."
The three of them drank tea leisurely in Qingyun Palace for the whole afternoon, but the palace was quite noisy.
The Third Prince followed His Majesty's orders to investigate the matter, so he came to wait outside Qingyun Palace early the next morning.
Song Qingyan deliberately delayed for some time before going to see him.
"Since the Third Prince is waiting outside, why don't you go see him earlier?" Jin Xin asked softly while helping Song Qingyan to do her makeup.
Song Qingyan, however, looked completely unconcerned: "Jinxin, you said that His Majesty handed this matter over to the Third Prince yesterday, so why didn't he come yesterday?"
Jin Xin still looked very innocent: "I guess I went to investigate yesterday."
Song Qingyan couldn't help but glance in the direction of Lu Xingwan, thinking to herself, Jin Xin's brain is even worse than that of a child.
Lu Xingwan naturally never lets his mother down.
[I understand! How could the Third Prince not understand his sister? I'm afraid this is most likely Lu Xinghui's idea.]
[So this night, I went to Tonglu Xinghui to confirm this matter! ]
【Only by knowing yourself and the enemy can you fight a hundred battles without danger. 】
Song Qingyan smiled and told Jinxin what Lu Xingwan said: "Of course I have to confirm with his sixth sister whether this was her doing."
"If it was really her work, he should have left some room for maneuver."
Jinxin still seemed to understand, and Song Qingyan didn't want to explain any more to her.
Silly Jinxin.
"Let's go," Song Qingyan stood up and walked out with Jinxin.
But after walking a few steps, he turned around and pointed at Lu Xingwan: "Hold Wanwan!"
Lu Xingwan also followed Song Qingyan happily.
But what no one expected was that the Sixth Princess even deceived her own brother this time.
