Chapter 408: Let’s take over a mountain
Thinking of the lively prince that day, Song Qingyan felt a sense of guilt in her heart.
[Mother, you are not feeling guilty, are you? ]
As if seeing through Song Qingyan's thoughts, Lu Xingwan muttered to himself.
[What are you feeling guilty about? It was the prince and the second brother who cheated people together, not mother.]
[Even if an apology is needed, it should be the Crown Prince and the Second Brother who should apologize. ]
[Mother, why do you like to be the one doing the cooking? ]
Song Qingyan was stunned when she heard what Lu Xingwan said.
This is indeed a big problem of mine. I often take things upon myself, and I still need Wanwan to remind me!
But in the end, she still had to comfort Concubine Lan and Concubine Wen: "Don't worry, sister, Qionghua's medical skills will definitely be fine."
"It's just that Qiong Hua needs a few days to develop the antidote, and Jin Yao has to rest for the next few days!"
Concubine Lan nodded: "That's good, His Majesty has also issued an order that no one is allowed to approach Xingyang Palace."
After they talked for a while, Concubine Lan and Concubine Wen went back to their own palaces.
That evening, Meiying came back.
[Mother, mother, sister Meiying is back. Hurry up and let me hear what news sister Meiying has.]
Song Qingyan was packing something when Lu Xingyan grabbed the corner of her clothes and dragged her over.
[Mother, mother, please hurry up, Sister Meiying is waiting anxiously.]
"Alright, alright," Song Qingyan gently comforted Lu Xingwan, "Mom will be here soon."
It was also a matter of laughing and crying. It was not Meiying who was anxious, but Wanwan, the gossipy kid, who was anxious.
Perhaps because the matter was almost investigated, Mei Ying no longer had the nervousness she had when she saw Song Qingyan yesterday, and she picked up Lu Xingwan from the ground.
"Young lady, do you miss Sister Meiying?"
[Of course there is! ]
[Sister Meiying brings Wanwan big news every time she appears! ]
When Lu Xingwan said this, he leaned over and kissed Mei Ying.
Mei Ying looked at Song Qingyan in surprise: "Miss, look!"
Song Qingyan couldn't help but laugh and said, "Wanwan is a very gossipy child. I'm afraid she likes you and brings her gossip every time you come!"
"Miss, the little lady is less than one year old!" Mei Ying looked at Song Qingyan with a smile, "How can she understand what I say?"
Song Qingyan smiled, but of course she wouldn't tell the truth.
Wanwan can not only listen, but also speak!
"Hmm!" Lu Xingwan hummed heavily, which scared Mei Ying. She quickly hugged Lu Xingwan into her arms and sat on the chair.
【I also like Sister Meiying calling me Little Miss. 】
[Every time Sister Meiying calls me like this, I feel like I’m the granddaughter of the leader of some sect! ]
[Why don’t my mother and I rent a mountain in the future and create a school of martial arts, called... Song School! ]
[Isn't that a bit unpleasant? I should change my name.]
[But what is the best thing for our sect to do? Cultivate immortals? ]
While Lu Xingwan was daydreaming, Mei Ying had already started talking to Song Qingyan.
"I followed your instructions and checked the Queen's movements these days."
"After the young lady and His Majesty left the palace, the Queen did go to the Queen Mother's palace every two days. But about half a month later, the Queen found the carpet from the warehouse and sent it to the Queen Mother's palace."
"Since that day, the Queen has never appeared in the Queen Mother's Palace again."
[Sure enough, there is cat peeping, it must be Shen Ning's work? ]
[How can she be so vicious? It's so scary. She was so kind when she first entered the palace.]
[Now I see that her face seems to have changed a bit, so scary.]
"All the processing of this carpet was carried out in Jinxiu Palace. I have no idea about this matter."
Jin Xin, who had been following Song Qingyan, suddenly spoke up: "My queen, I seem to have heard Yun Lan talk about this matter. She said that the queen wanted to take a medicinal bath in the past few days and prepared a large amount of herbs."
"Because Bai Ling and Yue Ran were busy with other things, it was only Yun Lan who was busy inside and outside."
"She was very surprised at that time, and asked why the Empress, since she was taking a bath, didn't she throw away the things after the bath?"
"So..." Jinxin paused here.
Song Qingyan replied, "So she wasn't bathing, she was soaking in the carpet."
Speaking of this, Song Qingyan even felt a surge of anger in her heart, an anger that was difficult to control.
Although he felt that there was something fishy about Shen Ning, he thought she was just vying for favor.
I didn't expect that she would not only attack Wanwan, but now she even dares to attack the Empress Dowager.
It was a waste of the Queen Mother's love for her.
The Queen Mother had always been very fond of Shen Ning because she had been her doctor in the past, and she would always think of her no matter what happened.
Even though she noticed that His Majesty disliked her, she still supported her with all her strength.
But what about her?
This is how she repays the Queen Mother.
Not to mention, now she is also involved in the murder of the Emperor of Great Chu and the Crown Prince.
Thinking of this, Song Qingyan took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down, looked at Mei Ying and asked, "Your Majesty's matter..."
Mei Ying shook her head: "Miss, I haven't found out anything about His Majesty's assassination."
"However, Yingyi beside your Majesty is investigating this matter, and I cannot interfere at this time."
"Okay." Song Qingyan nodded. Perhaps because of the Queen Mother's matter, the gloom in her heart had not yet dissipated, and her tone was not very happy.
Lu Xingwan struggled to jump out of Mei Ying's arms and threw herself into Song Qingyan's arms: "Mother."
He also patted Song Qingyan's arm as a way of comforting her.
[Don't be angry, mother. She approached you with a purpose in mind, so there's nothing to be sad about.]
Lu Xingwan could understand Song Qingyan's mood very well. It felt like she had made a wrong friend!
Although I had let it go in the past, now that I find out she is such a wicked person, I think my mother will not be able to accept it.
Song Qingyan held Lu Xingwan in her arms without saying anything.
He just looked at Meiying, waiting for her next words.
Yes, there is one more thing!
Mei Ying sorted out her emotions and continued, "I have also investigated the matter of the Crown Prince being poisoned."
"At the time, there was no direct evidence, but we could infer that it was indeed the Queen's doing."
"Because the Queen Mother has suddenly taken a liking to making snacks recently, she asked the servants around her to go to the Yu Kitchen to get some of the things she needs and make them in the small kitchen in Rongle Palace."
"That day, I was going to make lotus cakes for His Royal Highness the Crown Prince. His Royal Highness the Crown Prince likes lotus cakes. This matter only requires some research, which is not difficult."
"The most important thing is, I have inquired and found out that the maid who went to the kitchen to get something that day met Miss Yue Ran on the way."
