Chapter 404 The Queen's Secret

[This person is indeed very powerful, but his brain seems to be not very useful. ]

"When I went to chase him, he reacted quickly and hid directly in the Queen's bedroom, so I don't know what he looked like in the end."

"There are many people coming in and out of the Queen's palace every day, so no one was caught."

When Mei Ying said this, her eyes were filled with disappointment.

Song Qingyan said to comfort him, "It's okay. After all, the truth has been revealed."

"I called you here because I have something else to tell you." Song Qingyan discovered that many things in the palace now were related to the Empress's palace.

I don’t know if someone did this on purpose to point all the clues to the Empress’s palace.

Or maybe the Queen had something on her mind and was getting anxious, so she gradually revealed her true colors.

"First, the previous assassination of His Majesty outside the palace has clues pointing to the palace, which needs to be investigated."

"Second, check whether the Queen has been going to Rongle Palace frequently recently. Also, see if she is making medicine or something besides handling daily palace affairs."

"Third, I suspect the Crown Prince's poisoning is also related to the Empress' palace. We need to investigate."

"The prince was poisoned after he ate the snacks sent from the Queen Mother's palace."

"Miss, I'll do it right away!" Mei Ying stood up and prepared to leave.

Song Qingyan spoke again: "Lan Ying and Ju Ying have nothing to do now, let them rest for a day, and you can go and do your work. Is Zhu Ying back?"

Mei Ying shook her head: "I did receive a letter from her a few days ago, saying that she had found out something and had already returned. She should be arriving in the next two days."

Song Qingyan nodded and said nothing more, motioning Mei Ying to leave.

After Meiying left, Jinxin walked up to Song Qingyan, hesitated for a long time, and finally spoke.

"My lady, I have also gained something."

【It is right to keep our sister Jinxin in the palace.】

[I wonder how many gossip stories Sister Jinxin has heard in the past month. Tell me about them! ]

Lu Xingwan looked at Jinxin with great interest, her eyes full of anticipation.

Song Qingyan also spoke quickly: "You say."

"Not long after the Queen left the palace, I was punished by the Sixth Princess. It was because Yunlan came to talk to me in the palace and was seen by the Sixth Princess."

"Because she was afraid of the Sixth Princess, Yunlan did not speak for me."

"It is precisely because of this that Yunlan felt more and more guilty towards me, and she would go to Yanhe Palace every day to talk to me."

"So after all this, I have heard some things."

Jinxin has always been a good storyteller. While she was talking, the others kept staring at her without interrupting her.

Waiting for her next words.

"This Yue Ran seems to have known the Empress in the past. Yun Lan said that sometimes she would hear them talking about the Prince."

[Prince? There is no mention of a prince in this sentence, right?]

[King Rong and his men have all been imprisoned by our father! So, shouldn’t our father make my second brother a prince?]

[Could it be that Shen Ning is Prince Rong's man? Did she enter the palace to avenge Prince Rong or something? ]

"Then there's Bai Ling. They say that the Sixth Princess listens to Bai Ling the most. It's Bai Ling who takes care of the Sixth Princess on weekdays."

"It is said that one time I heard the Sixth Princess and Bai Ling say, 'Don't do it again.'"

Jinxin couldn't figure out the whole thing, so she tried to tell Song Qingyan word for word what she heard from Yunlan.

"There is another thing, which is the most terrifying. Yunlan said that when she was up at night, she saw a man in black entering the Queen's palace, but she was too scared to follow him."

"But Yunlan is certain of one thing. It is that man. Yunlan has met him before. He once had a secret meeting with Yunzhu, who was beside the queen."

Song Qingyan was a little confused for a moment.

Yunlan knows quite a lot on a daily basis!

The fact that she had a secret meeting with a man outside her family would probably be enough to nail Shen Ning to death.

[I can't believe this Yunlan has anything special! ]

[But, why...why does she seem a little silly? Why would she tell such an important thing to Sister Jinxin?]

[Could it be that the Queen arranged this? ]

Song Qingyan also raised this question at the same time: "Could this be a trap set by the Queen?"

Jin Xin shook her head: "Probably not."

"She didn't tell me all these words all at once. She said them sporadically when she was wronged by Yue Ran or Bai Ling and came to me to cry."

"He doesn't look like a liar."

"Now that there are maids like Yue Ran and Bai Ling serving the Queen, there is nothing left for her to do."

Song Qingyan nodded: "Yes, it is indeed difficult for a little girl from the laundry department to be reused."

[Speaking of which, the man Yunzhu had a secret meeting with appeared in the Queen's palace. ]

[This means that Yunzhu knew Shen Ning in the past.]

[Maybe this man planted him next to Shen Ning, or maybe Shen Ning gave him to her? ]

Lu Xingwan shook his head, trying to sort this matter out.

"Jinyu, please go to the Shen Mansion."

Jinyu, who had been listening carefully to Jinxin's words, did not react for a while.

"Jinyu." Song Qingyan spoke softly again.

Jinyu came back to her senses and asked hurriedly, "What did the queen say?"

Song Qingyan couldn't help but laugh: "Now our Jinyu is probably going to get married, and she has learned to be distracted."

When Jinyu heard this, her face turned red and she lowered her head in embarrassment.

Jin Xin noticed her difference, and looked at Song Qingyan in surprise, then looked at Jin Yu, and asked in surprise: "Jin Yu is getting married?"

[Oh, mother forgot to tell Sister Jinxin about this! ]

[Mother, mother, I’m afraid Sister Jinxin will be sad! ]

[Mother, you should find a suitable husband for Sister Jinxin as soon as possible. ]

Song Qingyan nodded, her eyes still full of smiles: "Yes, after going out for a while, I saw that the commander of the Yulin Army, Wei Cheng, was a man who understood how to be kind, so I brought them together."

When she heard it was Wei Cheng, the smile on Jin Xin's face suddenly froze.

"Wei Cheng, he..." Jin Xin hesitated to say something, but considering that the queen might have already decided on the matter, she smiled and said, "Commander Wei is very good."

Seeing Jinxin's thoughts, Song Qingyan quickly explained: "Don't worry, Jinyu has been with me for so many years, I will certainly not treat her badly."

"Are you afraid because of the rumor that Wei Cheng is unlucky in marriage?"

Jin Xin nodded, shook her head, sighed, and said, "My queen, if it weren't for the rumor that she was unlucky in marriage, how could Commander Wei be interested in us, Jin Yu?"
