Shen Wan was a little confused about Cheng Wang's approach.

The palace maid has no grievances against Crown Prince Cheng. She must have been instructed to poison Crown Prince Cheng. If she wants to avenge Crown Prince Cheng, she must follow the clues and find out the person behind it and bring him to justice.

When King Cheng interrogated the palace maid, there were only two results.

First, the palace maid was stubborn and did not confess. King Cheng wanted to keep her and slowly extract a confession. It was impossible to kill her and cut off the clues that were finally found.

Secondly, since the palace maid confessed, it is even more important to keep the palace maid alive. Otherwise, once the palace maid dies, she will die without any evidence.

Regardless of the outcome, King Cheng should not have killed the palace maid in Huguo Temple.

unless--

A suspicion flashed through Shen Wan's heart, and she said in disbelief, "Would King Cheng want to protect the person who poisoned him?"

Shen Wan thought this was impossible.

King Cheng had only one son, his son. It was heartbreaking to be born weak, and he was poisoned all the time. Even if the father didn't love his son, he would never allow others to bully his son like this.

Xie Jingyan said thoughtfully, "Maybe King Cheng doesn't want to make the matter public and wants to deal with it privately."

But this is also cover-up.

Murdering the crown prince is a capital crime for the Nine Clan.

If the evidence is conclusive, no matter who it is, the emperor will punish him severely.

What else can be said about Prince Cheng's apparent cover-up of the matter in private? It can only be said that Crown Prince Cheng has had such bad luck with such a biological father for several lifetimes.

Soon Shen Wan knew that it was not only Prince Cheng who was unlucky, but also the Queen Mother.

The next day, after Shen Wan and Xie Jingyan finished breakfast, they had just put down their chopsticks when Dong'er came in and said, "My lord and princess, the Queen Mother is sick because of anger..."

Shen Wan sighed inwardly.

What the Queen Mother hoped for most was that Prince Cheng's debilitating disease could be cured. As a result, Prince Cheng was poisoned, causing him to be unable to heal for a long time. It was the palace maid she sent who actually put his hand around her to harm Prince Cheng. , how could the Queen Mother not be angry when she found out?

The Queen Mother must have wanted to find out the person who ordered the palace maid to be poisoned. As a result, King Cheng killed the palace maid. I don’t know if the Queen Mother asked King Cheng why he killed the palace maid...

Shen Wan was curious, so she heard Dong'er say, "The Queen Mother called King Cheng into the palace last night and asked the maid to confess who instigated her to poison her. King Cheng said that no one instigated the maid, and the maid could not see the Queen Mother becoming the crown prince of King Cheng every day. He was worried about his illness, and he couldn’t help but see that Prince Cheng was looking for famous doctors to treat his illness. He didn’t care about the affairs of the court, so he wanted to poison Prince Cheng to death, causing them long-term pain rather than short-term pain..."

"King Cheng was so angry that he broke the maid's neck on the spot."

Shen Wan's mouth and eyes twitched when he heard this.

The maid was loyal to the Queen Mother and King Cheng, so she poisoned the Queen Mother's most beloved grandson and King Cheng's only son all the time?

The Queen Mother is truly blessed to have such a loyal maid.

Even if King Cheng protected the person behind the scenes, he also put the blame on the Queen Mother. The maid in her palace was bribed to poison her grandson, which caused her grandson to be ill for a long time. The Queen Mother blamed herself. As a result, The palace maid still harmed the crown prince under the guise of being good for the queen mother. The queen mother couldn't even find anyone to avenge her grandson, so she could only keep her regret and self-blame in her heart.

Shen Wan was really curious about who harmed the crown prince. Prince Cheng not only protected her, but also protected her to the point where he didn't even care about the Queen Mother's body and bones.

Does King Cheng have any fatal clues in his hands?

You can let King Cheng do this, and secretly poison King Cheng's son. Why not just let King Cheng poison his son to death? Why waste such effort.

Shen Wan was as curious as a cat tickling her, and Dong'er withdrew after she finished her report.

Dong'er retreated here, and Chun'er came in and said, "Princess, the Queen has summoned Princess Huai'an to enter the palace."

Shen Wan frowned.

Why did Empress Song ask her sister-in-law to enter the palace?

Intuition told Shen Wan that nothing good was going to happen.

Shen Wan immediately asked the maid to go to the big kitchen to send a message and asked Li Yuchu to make some special snacks. After lunch, she asked Haitang to be sent back to the Marquis Mansion and asked about it. In less than half an hour, Princess Huai'an came to Prince Ling's Mansion.

Hearing that Princess Huai'an was coming, Shen Wan got up and went out. At the entrance of the courtyard, she saw Princess Huai'an coming with her maid from a distance.

Shen Wan smiled and greeted her, "Why is sister-in-law here?"

The princess of Huai'an said with a gentle face, "I haven't come to see you these days during your pregnancy, so I came here today when I have free time."

Shen Wan invited Princess Huai'an to go to the flower hall to talk.

After the two sat down, Shen Wan asked, "How is the old lady doing lately?"

Princess Huai'an shook her head, "It's not good. Shen Ying was demoted from the principal concubine of the Jin Dynasty to the side concubine of the Jin Dynasty. The child in her belly was also changed from a legitimate daughter to a concubine. It was a huge blow to the old lady. The old lady has been very sick these days. I can’t even get out of bed.”

Shen Wan didn't feel sorry for the old lady. What she was worried about was, "The old lady didn't make things difficult for you anymore, right?"

The Princess of Huai'an shook her head. The maid Zisu who followed behind her had her mouth pouted high. Shen Wan asked Zisu, "Tell me."

Zisu couldn't bear it anymore. When Shen Wan asked, Zisu said, "The old lady blames the princess. She is annoyed that the princess should not tell the emperor that the concubine of Prince Jin made you faint, Princess Ling, because of the Liangjiang salt policy..."

I have never seen such an unclear old lady. The person asking the question was the emperor. Her princess told lies, which was the crime of deceiving the emperor. The concubine of King Jin almost pointed at her princess’s nose and scolded her. The old lady actually had the nerve to blame the princess for not helping to cover it up. Her princess did not add insult to injury because it was because of the prince's face that she would not cause trouble for the prince!

Not to mention Zi Su being angry, Shen Wan was also furious. These people would only blame others for their faults. Don't even think about expecting them to reflect on themselves.

Shen Wan took a deep breath, suppressed her anger and said, "The family will be separated soon. From now on, the Marquis Mansion will only have one house, so there won't be such troublesome things."

Princess Huai'an nodded.

She is also looking forward to the separation of the Hou Mansion.

Shen Wan changed the subject and said, "Why does the queen want her sister-in-law to enter the palace?"

Princess Huai'an was surprised, "You knew so quickly that the Queen wanted me to enter the palace?"

It was no small matter for the queen to ask her to enter the palace. She knew it was not normal. Why was she so surprised?

Thinking that Princess Huai'an came directly from the palace to Prince Ling's Mansion, but she didn't mention a word...

Shen Wan said, "Is it related to me that the queen asked you to enter the palace?"

Princess Huai'an didn't want to tell Shen Wan, but Shen Wan asked. If she didn't tell, Shen Wan would definitely send someone to the palace to inquire.

After all, she couldn't hide it, so the Princess of Huai'an stopped trying to hide it. She said, "After Shen Ying was demoted, she has been depressed these days. The imperial doctor said that her pregnancy was unstable. The queen asked me to come to the palace because she wanted to Let me advise you, one of the sisters in the same house is in trouble and the other is demoted, which makes people laugh. She can't persuade the emperor to reinstate Shen Ying as the princess of Jin, so you can go and ask the emperor. "

Shen Wan laughed.

Because she was pregnant, Empress Song did not dare to come to her directly, so she took a roundabout way and put pressure on Princess Huai'an to come to her.

Princess Huai'an didn't want to be forced by Empress Song, but she didn't dare to openly disobey her, so she came anyway, but she was here, thinking that she wouldn't know about Empress Song finding her and entering the palace so soon, so she wanted to go through the motions and deal with it. Queen Song, she didn't expect Shen Wan to know so quickly and not hide it from her.

Shen Ying plotted against her again and again, and still wanted her to care about her sisterhood?

Row.

She just cares about it.

I hope she, Queen Song, will not regret it.

Shen Wan said, "It always puts my sister-in-law in trouble."

Princess Huai'an shook her head, "I'm just perfunctory, there's nothing embarrassing about it. But you are pregnant, so don't worry about these things."

Shen Wan nodded.

After Princess Huai'an left, Shen Wan went to the study to find Xie Jingyan, "I want to enter the palace, you go with me."

Xie Jingyan looked at her, "What are you doing in the palace?"

Shen Wan said, "The Empress of the Song Dynasty went to Princess Huai'an and persuaded me to put in a good word for the concubine of King Jin and let the emperor restore her position as the main concubine. I went to the palace to ask the emperor to come."

Yinshuang's eyes opened wide.

I want to know if what my princess is saying is true or ironic.

Xie Jingyan saw through what Shen Wan was going to do at a glance, and said helplessly, "You're pregnant, so don't bother. If you don't just go to the palace to 'beg for mercy', I'll just go for you."
