Chapter 210 Empress Chen will protect you

"What!" Shen Ning was stunned. This was the Sixth Princess's self-directed and self-acted drama again. Wasn't it enough that she had suffered enough in the past? Why was she doing this again...

When the fifth princess said this, everyone was shocked.

However, there were also people who disliked Song Qingyan and began to question her, such as Concubine Yao.

At this time, she was waving the round fan in her hand and looking at the Fifth Princess kneeling on the ground. She said sarcastically: "Fifth Princess, you should not go astray at such a young age. Could it be that the Royal Concubine used her power to pressure the Fifth Princess to lie?"

The Fifth Princess raised her head and looked at the Queen: "Mother, I don't have any."

Song Qingyan turned to look at Concubine Yao and stared at her straight.

Concubine Yao tried hard to calm herself down and looked at Song Qingyan.

[Look at the way she waves the fan, so contrived.]

[It’s not even midsummer yet and we’re already fanning ourselves. What will we do in the summer? ]

Song Qingyan stood up, walked a few steps and came in front of Concubine Yao. A "pop" sound was heard in the hall.

Concubine Yao was stunned.

The queen was also stunned.

Even Concubine Lan and Concubine Wen were stunned.

Only Le Guiren and Yue Guiren, who were hiding in a corner, came together and said, "The Imperial Concubine is so cool. I really want to see what she looks like on the battlefield."

Lu Xingwan had good hearing, so she could hear every word of their conversation.

[These two nobles of my father are quite interesting! ]

[Just mother! Were you really taken away today? Why are you so fierce all of a sudden? ]

[Although I like you like this, this is really too sudden. ]

When Lu Xingwan said this, she reached out and gently patted Jinxin's face.

[Look, my sister Jinxin is so frightened. ]

Song Qingyan then looked at Concubine Yao and continued, "This is also considered as using power to suppress others. What, Concubine Yao wants to fight back?"

Yaopin glanced in the direction of the empress, but saw that she had no intention of speaking for her, so she knelt down hurriedly and said, "It was I who was disrespectful to Your Majesty, please punish me."

He turned around, looked in the direction of the empress and said, "Your Majesty, you should be tougher and not let these people bully you."

Shen Ning just smiled awkwardly: "Your Majesty, you are too kind."

Song Qingyan stopped answering her and looked at the Fifth Princess kneeling on the ground. She was still with her head bowed. "Xingyun, keep talking!"

The fifth princess looked up at Song Qingyan before continuing.

"Later, my sixth sister saw me looking at her and warned me not to tell anyone."

After Lu Xingyun finished speaking timidly, he suddenly raised his head and looked towards the Empress: "But mother, Empress Chen has always treated us children very well. I really don't want to see Empress Chen framed innocently, nor do I want to see my sixth sister go astray."

After the fifth princess finished speaking this time, no one dared to speak.

There were only the faintest sounds of whispering.

Shen Ning pondered for a while, and finally spoke, looking at Song Qingyan: "Royal Concubine, although this matter is in the harem, His Majesty specially appointed the Third Prince to investigate..."

"Since the Empress cannot intervene in this matter," Song Qingyan glanced at the Empress calmly, "then I will investigate it myself."

"No..." The queen was about to open her mouth to explain, but was blocked by Song Qingyan's words.

"Jinyu, go check who the Sixth Princess had contact with before and after the palace banquet, and where she got the medicine from. There must be a source."

After saying that, she stood up and helped up Concubine Lin and the Fifth Princess, mother and daughter: "Xingyun, Empress Chen wants to thank you very much."

"Thank you for being willing to tell the truth for Madam Chen."

Although Song Qingyan had been acting today, she was surprised and moved by Lu Xingyun's honesty.

The last time I saw her, her attitude towards me was still arrogant and domineering. I didn't expect it to change so quickly.

The fifth princess just lowered her head and said nothing.

When Concubine De was still in power, she was always taken to Concubine De's palace to play from time to time. Although she didn't know whether Concubine De was pretending or was sincere, in her eyes, Concubine De loved her.

In her eyes, Song Qingyan was nothing more than a favored concubine who entered the palace by relying on her family's power and status and who looked down on little girls like them.

But a few days ago, she heard her mother talk about past events, and then she had a different opinion of Song Qingyan.

But he still played with the Sixth Princess.

After all, they are playmates who grew up together.

But the reason she really wanted to stay away from the Sixth Princess was when her elder sister fell in the palace.

That time the Sixth Princess ran away in a hurry, and then there came the news that the eldest sister had been frightened by Xing Hui's cat and fell down.

She knew that Lu Xinghui must have done this on purpose.

The eldest sister has always treated her younger sisters very well. Even though the second sister used to quarrel with the eldest sister all day long, the eldest sister still introduced the second sister to a very good husband's family.

Even though Xing Hui was disrespectful to the elder sister every time, the elder sister never bothered with them.

The eldest sister’s husband’s family is a merchant family, and they always have some rare things shipped in from other places, and the eldest sister always brings some for her younger sisters.

Although the elder sister is very fierce.

But the elder sister is very nice.

Lu Xingyun was a little afraid of the eldest princess, but she respected her more.

She really couldn't forgive Lu Xinghui for doing this to her elder sister.

That's why she stood up to protect Empress Chen.

Even if Xing Hui targets her in the future, she will be brave this time.

When he looked up at Song Qingyan again, there were tears in his eyes.

Although Song Qingyan didn't understand her grievances, she felt distressed when she saw her tearful eyes.

Without hesitation, he went up to her and hugged her, whispering in her ear, "Xingyun, don't worry, Empress Chen will protect you."

After Song Qingyan said this, Lu Xingyun's tears burst out even more violently.

Concubine Wen was a sensitive person, and seeing Xingyun like this, she couldn't help but shed tears.

Shen Ning maintained a dignified look.

But my heart is filled with speechlessness.

My Jinxiu Palace is not for you to be sentimental.

With the testimony of the fifth princess, the matter was investigated quickly.

Jinyu was not stupid, so she would not investigate the matter herself, nor would she entrust Mei, Lan, Zhu, and Ju to investigate it.

We can't expose them under your Majesty's nose.

After leaving Jinxiu Palace, I went to Longsheng Palace.

When she saw the Emperor of Great Chu, she reported everything that happened in Jinxiu Palace to him without missing a word, and then said, "Your Majesty, our queen meant that the Sixth Princess should not be wrongly accused in this matter, so she thought it would be better to investigate the source of the poison so that there would be an explanation."

Before Jinyu could finish her words, the Emperor of Great Chu had already thrown the pen in his hand to the ground.

Meng Quande hurried over to pick up the pen, and when he saw the dirty spot on the ground, he felt a pang of pain in his heart.

This carpet was just replaced today, and I'm afraid the ink stains on it can't be washed off.

Looks like it's going to be wasted again.
