Chapter 415 The Prince Wakes Up

"This time I asked Qin Xing to investigate this matter. Does anyone else know about it?"

The eldest princess shook her head solemnly: "Don't worry, auntie, Qin Xing knows that this matter is of great importance and involves key matters, so he went there by himself. Only the two of us know about it."

Song Qingyan nodded again: "Qin Xing is a stable person."

Apart from the incident with his cousin earlier, nothing had gone wrong.

"Xingruo," Song Qingyan took Lu Xingruo's hand, "You and Qin Xing, just pretend you don't know about this matter. You must remember, no matter what happens, just pretend you don't know about it."

Seeing the eldest princess's puzzled look, Song Qingyan explained: "After all, this matter involves royal secrets, so the fewer people who know about it, the better."

"You're fine. If your father knew that Qin Xing was involved in this matter, he would be unhappy."

Knowing that the eldest princess has always cared about Qin Xing, Song Qingyan deliberately mentioned Qin Xing.

As expected, when the eldest princess heard that this matter involved Qin Xing, she became alert.

He nodded quickly: "Aunt is right."

Song Qingyan looked at her with a smile and added, "There are many things going on in the palace now, so you don't have to stay in the palace. I will find someone to escort you back to the palace personally."

"Don't go to your brother's place. Go there next time."

"You should also prepare a wedding gift for your brother."

"Of course!" The eldest princess was extremely happy when she mentioned the prince's marriage. "I have already started preparing with Qin Xing."

"A woman as good as Miss Han deserves the best."

When mentioning Han Xiyue, Lu Xingwan thought of another thing.

[Mother, do you think Queen Shen...has done a good job in preparing for my elder brother's wedding?]

[She was busy assassinating her father, murdering her grandmother, and secretly poisoning the crown prince.]

Now, in Lu Xingwan's eyes, the Queen is already the mastermind behind the assassination of his father outside Dingze City, without any doubt at all.

[Looking at her attitude, it is clear that she wants to destroy the entire harem. How could she still bother to work hard for the Crown Prince? ]

[I’m afraid that my mother will be busy from now on. ]

Song Qingyan felt her mind was in a mess.

After sending the eldest princess out of Qingyun Palace, he returned to his room alone, refused to let Jinxin and Jinyu in, sat opposite Lu Xingwan, and began to think about the current situation.

"Jinyu," Soon, Song Qingyan spoke and called Jinyu in from outside.

Since the day I sent Jinyu out of the palace to the Shen Mansion, I have not seen her since, nor have I heard her talk about her conclusion.

Jinyu and Jinxin came in together.

Jin Xin knew that the queen was anxiously waiting for her news, so she quickly said, "Your Majesty, I went to the Shen family to ask, and Mrs. Shen didn't recognize either Yue Ran or Yun Zhu."

Because Qin Xing acted quickly and things were almost clear, Jin Yu's current news was just the icing on the cake.

With Jinyu's information, Song Qingyan was more certain that this matter must be consistent with the previous analysis.

"Mrs. Shen did tell me a piece of news. She said that Shen Ning had been playing around in the past and accidentally left a scar on the palm of her hand. Although it is not noticeable now due to age, you can still see it if you look carefully."

"I want to..."

Jinyu was a smart woman and had guessed what her queen was suspecting, but she didn't say it out loud.

"This is evidence." After some time to calm down, Song Qingyan's mood has now calmed down, so when she received such news, she was very calm.

There was silence in the room for a moment, and then Jin Xin said, "My lady, Yunlan came to see me at midnight yesterday."

"Yunlan?" This was something Song Qingyan had not expected.

At this time, Yunlan didn't think about how to comfort her queen, but even had time to come to Qingyun Palace to find Jinxin.

"Yes," Jin Xin nodded, "Yun Lan is not very popular in Jin Xiu Palace now, so she trusts me a little."

"Yunlan just wanted me to help her find a way out, but she accidentally let it slip that a man seemed to have been in the Empress's palace yesterday."

"It is said that when Deputy Commander Zhu of Zhu Gushan went to Jinxiu Palace to capture Miss Yue Ran, Yunlan seemed to hear some noises in the Queen's room, and even some strange smells."

[She actually dared to have an affair! ]

Lu Xingwan was stunned.

[Isn't it too unfortunate for the emperor? First there was that Helian Zhuli who cheated on him.]

[I originally thought that Father had been able to avoid the fate of being cheated on by catching Helian Zhuli in the act this time, but I didn't expect it to be like this.]

[And this time, the one who cheated on him was the queen.]

[What kind of sin is this? I finally chose a queen, but she turned out to be a fake. It’s fine if she’s a fake, but she even cuckolded my father. ]

[Mother, tell me, before entering the palace, did Cheng ever think that she would become the empress in just half a year? ]

Song Qingyan was naturally stunned.

She had thought that the queen might harm others because of power or status, or because of family or national hatred, but she had never thought about love.

So, could that person be the prince that Yunlan mentioned before?

Taking a step back, could it be that Eunuch Lin, who is hiding in the Empress's palace, has any connection with this person?

Or maybe it's the same person.

Seeing that Song Qingyan didn't say anything, Jinxin continued, "Yunlan didn't say anything useful. She just said that the queen was very worried after Yueran was captured."

At this time, a silent battle was taking place in the harem of the Great Chu State.

Although it appears calm on the surface.

But in reality, Longsheng Palace, Qingyun Palace, and Xingyang Palace are not stable.

For two whole days, Lu Xingwan felt as if the sky above Qingyun Palace was shrouded in a dark haze that would not go away.

Fortunately, two days later, news finally came out.

The prince woke up.

The person who heard the news the most was naturally the Emperor of Great Chu, as there was still no clue about the Empress's case.

He has been very anxious in the past few days.

"Good, good, good. Miss Qionghua's medical skills are indeed amazing." The Great Chu Emperor clapped his hands happily in Longsheng Palace and turned to look at Meng Quande: "Meng Quande, prepare some gold and silver and send it to Qingyun Palace."

Meng Quande was naturally happy: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I will arrange for someone to prepare it."

"But the most important thing for your majesty right now," Meng Quande said with an undiminished smile, "is to go to Xingyang Palace to see His Royal Highness the Crown Prince."

"Yes, you are right." The Emperor of Great Chu was a little busy and confused these days because he was entangled in Shen Ning's affairs.
