Chapter 70 It seems to be getting chaotic

Concubine Chen did not speak for a long time, and the palace fell into silence for a while.

"This is just my guess," Concubine Chen looked at Juying again, "We need to investigate Zhao Saiyuan further to see who he has been in contact with recently."

"Father trusts him too much. I'm afraid I can't convince him. You go! Go to my father and keep an eye on Zhao Saiyuan. Let Lan Ying go with you."

After Juying left, Jinyu walked up to her and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, are you suspicious of the Third Prince?"

Concubine Chen nodded: "Jinchen's change was too sudden, which makes people suspicious."

Jinyu nodded and poured another cup of tea for Concubine Chen Gui: "But the Cui Mansion has been destroyed now. The Third Prince has no one to rely on, right?"

Lu Xingwan couldn't help but get involved in this brain storm.

[The Third Prince went to tell Concubine De to keep Lady Fang well, as she would be useful in the future.]

[De Fei began to get close to Concubine Fang, but she didn't expect that a young palace maid appeared from nowhere and said something to Concubine Fang, who suddenly went crazy and killed De Fei.]

Concubine Chen Gui listened to Lu Xingwan's inner thoughts and couldn't help but blurt out: "Yes, I think so too."

The Queen suddenly said this, and Jinyu was confused for a moment. What was the Queen thinking?

Lu Xingwan, who was standing by, didn't realize it and was actually echoing Concubine Chen's words in her heart.

[Right, the daughter is smart, right? She is connected to her mother! ]

Concubine Chen suddenly realized that she had said something wrong, and quickly said, "If that's the case, I'm afraid there is someone behind Jinchen who is giving him advice. With Jinchen's personality, he can't plan for such a long-term goal."

After saying that, he looked at Jinyu again and said, "Go and invite the Crown Prince and the Second Prince."

Jinyu took the order and left, and then told Jinxin: "Go and invite Prince Pei as well."

When no one was in the room, Concubine Chen Gui nudged Lu Xingwan who was standing beside her and said, "Look, Wanwan, this palace seems to be in chaos."

Lu Xingwan couldn't help but stretch out her little hand to touch Concubine Chen Gui, muttering something in her heart.

[Don't worry, mother. The Crown Prince will definitely protect us. The Third Prince is just a grasshopper in autumn. He won't be able to jump for a few days.]

[My mother is now helping my grandfather, so he will be alright.]

[When Wanwan grows up, take your mother away from this den of tigers and wolves, okay? ]

Concubine Chen Guifei held Lu Xingwan quietly, looked out the window, and did not speak a word.

Since Pei Chuyan now lived in Qingyun Palace, he was the first to arrive, and he hurriedly bowed and asked, "Does the noble concubine have any instructions?"

Concubine Chen Gui just smiled and said, "Please sit down first. Jin Yao and Jin Yu will be here soon."

Pei Chuyan saw that although Concubine Chen had a smile on her face, the smile was not reflected in her eyes, so he knew that she must have something important to say. Thinking that the matter in the harem in recent days was nothing more than the death of Concubine De, he became serious for a moment.

"How come Empress Chen is free today?" The Second Prince has always been a cheerful person, and his voice was heard before he even entered the palace.

Pei Chuyan hurriedly stood up and greeted.

When Concubine Chen Guifei saw the three of them coming, she didn't exchange too many pleasantries. She only told Jinyu and Jinxin to leave before she spoke.

"Have you heard about Concubine De's death recently?"

"How could I not know? Father made such a grand display that he was impeached by the censors." This time it was the crown prince who spoke.

"Your father, he is just..." Concubine Chen was afraid that the Crown Prince would be sad, so she wanted to explain a few words on behalf of the Emperor of Great Chu. But when she opened her mouth, she didn't know what to say. Was she just feeling sorry for Concubine De?

【It's just a memorial for his dead love.】

Concubine Chen felt that her own Wanwan's summary was very accurate, but she couldn't tell the Crown Prince exactly as it was, so she let it go: "Forget it, let's talk about business."

"Empress Chen, did Concubine De really die because she ate the wrong thing?" The Second Prince couldn't help but be curious.

"I asked you to come here today to talk about this matter." Concubine Chen Gui said seriously, "But remember what I said today. Once you leave the gate of Qingyun Palace, just pretend you have never heard it."

When the three of them saw Concubine Chen like this, they nodded in agreement.

"I asked someone close to me to do a thorough investigation. The Third Prince went to the Puwen Palace a few days ago, and then Concubine De started to contact Noble Lady Fang, with the intention of seducing her."

"I checked Fang Guiren again. Fang Guiren's father was a deputy general under my father. He was ambitious but incompetent. He was a greedy and reckless person."

"Empress Chen is suspicious of the Third Prince?" the Second Prince asked.

Concubine Chen nodded: "I have this thought."

The prince stared straight ahead, his eyes seemed distant and confused, as if he was hard to understand, but for a moment he gave people a sense of the aura of an emperor: "The change in the third brother's behavior this time was so sudden, we should pay attention to it."

Then she turned to Concubine Chen and asked, "Aunt, do you think that the Third Prince asked Concubine De to pull Concubine Fang under his control in order to pull the deputy general under his control?"

Before Concubine Chen Gui could speak, the Second Prince's eyes flashed, as if he understood something: "Is his goal the Marquis Dingguo?"

"This is the worst plan. I have already sent someone to inform father," Concubine Chen said succinctly. "I asked you to come here today to tell you that if this is really the case, the Third Prince must have someone behind him to guide him. You must take good care of yourselves."

Seeing that Concubine Chen was worried about them, several people hurriedly thanked her.

The prince said in a deep voice: "Jin Yu and Chu Yan, you must pay attention to safety when you inspect various places this time. The sudden passing of Concubine De has disrupted the third prince's move. If he refuses to stop, he will definitely attack the second brother. Why not..."

"Royal brother, I'm fine. I can't let you protect me all my life." The second prince spoke in an anxious tone but with an excited look on his face.

Lu Xingwan, who was standing by, couldn't help but grumble when he saw this.

[Have I really not transmigrated into the wrong book? The sinister and ruthless second prince in the story is actually a man obsessed with his brother? ]

[Looking at him jumping up and down, he doesn't look steady at all. I find it hard to imagine him as a male protagonist.]

[Does Sister Rong really not mind him being like this? ]

[Could it be that in the story, he was controlled by the elder sister of the Rong family? Is he actually just a young man who is ignorant of the world? Or, is it because his brother and father were killed that he showed a different personality? ]

While Lu Xingwan was imagining things, Pei Chuyan spoke up: "Don't worry, Your Highness, I will definitely protect the Second Prince."

Lu Xingwan couldn't help but look at Pei Chuyan again.

[Pei Chuyan is going too? To protect the second prince? Isn't he only eight years old? He can go on a national inspection at the age of eight? Isn't that too exaggerated? ]

[He is the hero of this book, right? I think my second brother is a bit older than him, but he is a bit silly and not as smart as Prince Pei! ]

"Cough cough cough..." Concubine Chen interrupted Wanwan as she listened to her thoughts going further and further away.
