Chapter 57 The Secret of the Second Prince's Mansion
When the three of them walked down the stone steps of the city tower, there was already a person waiting in front of the four of them.
"Huang Ming, why is it you?" Xiaohua was also very surprised as to why Huang Ming, who had always been with the prince, was abandoned. Huang Ming is five or six years older than Xiaohua. When he was a child, his elder brother named Huang Ming was always there. He taught him martial arts and knowledge. Therefore, the two sisters always treated Huang Ming as their biological brother.
Huang Ming nodded and did not reply to Xiaohua's question but told Shen Qianfeng the reason. It turned out that the identity of the maid named Ximei sent in today had been found out. The identity of this person was very surprising.
"Who said that? This Ximei died ten years ago." Shen Qianfeng was startled and immediately looked at Feng Qianqian, thinking that all the things in Ximei's memory had been extracted by Feng Qianqian and handed over to her. People from the Shengge.
"Let's get on the carriage and talk!" After saying that, Shen Qianfeng was the first to get on the carriage. She didn't care too much about riding in the same carriage with the mistress of her family. However, she still sat on the side in a polite manner. , just like a good and obedient student. He listens to the teacher’s instruction in a good manner, just like an older child.
When the carriage started moving, big beads of sweat were already rolling down Huang Ming's forehead.
Shen Qianfeng couldn't laugh or cry: "Relax, I'm not a cannibal devil. If you are like this, how can you introduce the situation of the Second Prince's Mansion?"
Feng Qianqian burst out laughing: "I really have never seen you like this. Is Xiaofeng more weird than Mr. Xingyun?"
"You can't say that about Huang Ming. His problem is not so terrible?" Shen Qianfeng had an idea when she first met Huang Ming, but at that time, the matter between him and Chunying had not yet been settled. Now. The affairs of the two have been settled and they haven't gotten married for several months, so it's time for some treatment. Shen Qianfeng handed over a bottle and said: "There are ten pills here, which are specially designed to treat your physical condition. First, Eat one, and you won't stop sweating when you meet the opposite sex." Huang Ming took the elixir sheepishly, and Shen Qianfeng murmured again: "I'm really curious, what's the reason for your illness? I got it. If you have time, it’s better to study it carefully.”
After taking the elixir given by Shen Qianfeng, Huang Ming's voice finally became much calmer. Only then did Situ Yue suddenly understand that many strange diseases that had disappeared in the legends of previous lives would appear one after another in such a different world. .
"Her disease should be heterophobia in dense spaces!" Situ Yue shook her head: "This is much better than Mr. Xingyun's life."
Shen Qianfeng said with a smile: "There are ten pills in this bottle. After eating one pill a day, you will no longer be afraid of women!"
When the carriage started moving, Huang Mingcai regained his former composure and began to tell the unknown secrets of the second prince's residence.
It turned out that the second prince had a concubine, but four years ago the head of the astrology clan predicted that a girl with the destiny of the Wind Queen would come from the Shen family. The original second prince's concubine was found to be pregnant the next day except for an accident. He was found living in the western suburbs of the imperial capital.
There is a chaotic area in the western suburbs of the entire imperial capital where only gangsters, hooligans and ruffians live. So when the second prince woke up, she was directly killed in the western suburbs. Although the second prince had tried his best to deal with the aftermath, this The second prince's mother's family is very impressive. Secondly, in order to stabilize the power of the second prince's mother's family, the younger sister of the original second prince's concubine was brought into the second prince's mansion half a year later.
In the days that followed, the sister quickly became the second prince's concubine after entering the second prince's mansion. In the days that followed, another family of the second prince, the He family, also sent a girl to the second prince's mansion. This woman was very Soon, the only concubine was in charge of all the daily affairs of the second prince's house. This was equivalent to what the principal concubine and the mistress of the first house had to do.
"The one who got into trouble this time is Xue Yanyan, the sister of the former second prince and the princess!" Huang Ming continued: "The power of the Xue family is very important. Half of the money transactions in the entire empire are controlled by the Xue family's bank. Although the household department There is no direct bloodline of the Xue family, but there are several most important official positions, almost all of which are sons-in-law of the Xue family. This time something happened to Xue Yanyan, the Xue family did not agree to the reconciliation terms given by the second prince, so they went to the second prince's mother and concubine."
"In other words, if there is no explanation, the second prince's money bag will belong to someone else?" Shen Qianfeng immediately grasped the key to the problem.
"Yes, the prince just wants to go through the motions. The prince does not want the princess to get involved in the disputes between the second prince's family in public. After all, there is no other possibility for him to take the throne except rebellion."
Shen Qianfeng agreed very much with this, but it was not Shen Qianfeng's character not to solve the case when she encountered it. So she said in a low voice: "Let's take a look. In the past year, many things have pointed to the second prince. .This opportunity to find out the details of the Second Prince's Mansion is also a good opportunity. By the way, who is the current mistress of the Second Prince's Mansion? No, she is not a mistress. Now she is just a mistress. Are you in charge of things well?"
When Huang Ming mentioned the concubine Qin Mian who was now in charge of the second prince's residence, Huang Ming was full of praise. However, he was a little confused about the origin of this woman.
"Do you have evidence to prove that this concubine of Qin is the eldest daughter of the Qin family in Xiyue?"
Although Shen Qianfeng should never think about these things when the things that have been confirmed came out from Huang Ming's mouth, she was still trying her best to analyze the things inside.
The Qin family of Huashan Kingdom has inherited the position of prime minister for three generations, but the noble daughter of the Qin family is the one that all the famous families in the entire continent are vying to marry. But why is the noble daughter of the Qin family willing to be a prince's concubine? No one knows the true intention of sleeping here.
Half an hour had passed when the carriage stopped. When the carriage driver Xiaotian arrived with a silly sound, he heard the sound of people kneeling outside.
The concubine of the second prince's house sounds nice, but in fact it is just a man's possession. But now Shen Qianfeng is a real princess, or a princess with a different surname who is engaged to the third prince. Of course, these people will treat her like a concubine. Do enough work to save face.
Qin Mian was dressed in gorgeous clothes, with a silver double-flowered jade hairpin stuck in the bun on her head. There was a small phoenix head engraved on the jade hairpin. Qin Mian really looked a little bit fancy. I was angry with myself for actually daring to openly wear an ornament with a phoenix on my head.
There were three concubines in the second prince's house, and about ten concubines, all of whom knelt obediently at the door of the house to welcome Shen Qianfeng.
Why didn't Shen Qianfeng understand Qin Mian's sinister intentions as soon as he started this battle? Could it be that this beauty Qin had killed Xue Yanyan's child? She then took a closer look at Qin who was bowing her body and making a salute. Brother Mian understands everything. It’s not that this person can’t have children, but that he is willing to have children. The inference he made at that moment was completely and ruthlessly shattered.
Shen Qianfeng waved her hand: "Everyone, get up!"
When everyone stood up, Shen Qianfeng observed Qin Mian's condition attentively. He found that there was some deficiency in her body, which should be caused by the lack of proper balance in the room. And the moment she stood up, her face turned pale. Somewhat scary.
After Qin Mian stood up, she forced a smile and said, "Your Highness, the Princess, has invited someone. Master Yin Liu Kun and Master Liu of the Imperial Capital are waiting for the Princess inside!"
Shen Qianfeng didn't pay attention to what he said and did let Situ Yue listen. Then everyone came to the outside of the most luxurious courtyard in the second prince's house. After looking at the carved beams and paintings in front of the door, the exquisite rockery was just to set off the courtyard. The scenery outside the courtyard. Shen Qianfeng somewhat despises the second prince's lavishness. Others don't know the current situation of the empire, but Shen Qianfeng knew it very clearly. Almost half of the empire's financial power is in the hands of major aristocratic families. Rather than in the emperor's treasury.
At the entrance of the small courtyard, there were already official guards from the Imperial Government Office. When they saw someone coming, the two official guards knelt down and saluted: "Your Highness, join us. Thousand years old, thousand years old, thousand years old!"
Shen Qianfeng waved her hand: "Pingshen!"
When the people in the room heard the voice, they hurried out and knelt down again, but were stopped by Shen Qianfeng. After hearing too many flattery words, Shen Qianfeng's brain was almost rusty. The princess also has the helplessness of a princess, She finally understood what her dear cousin was living every day.
After being brought into the room, an old man with a gray beard was checking the wounds on Xue Yanyan's body. However, the old man's eyebrows furrowed more and more tightly, and finally he shook his head helplessly: "What's going on like this?"
While the old man was dazed, Situ Yue came to the cold corpse on the bed and asked. Already having a clue in her heart, she turned around and retreated to Shen Qianfeng's side and whispered something in a low voice. Then she glanced at To those who were in a daze, if Lao Zuo really told the truth about such a big matter, it would be difficult to leave the Second Prince's Mansion today. She was waiting for Lao Zuo's next move.
Liu Kun became impatient again after waiting, and asked in a cold voice: "What on earth did you see? If it doesn't work, pack up your bed and go back to your hometown to work on the farm tomorrow."
The old man's eyes were almost congested with blood, but he finally gritted his teeth and said: "Concubine Xue Fang was not pregnant. Her death was caused by someone adding poison to her food. The blood from the miscarriage on the bed was actually poison. The phenomenon of leakage. And..."
Qin Mian shouted: "That's enough, someone here will pull this old naughty slave down and behead him! How dare you speak ill of the Second Prince's Mansion again."
As soon as the guards swarmed in, the old man was finally captured. One of the guards pulled out a knife on the spot and was about to kill someone. At this moment, the guard with the knife just stood there stupidly and didn't move. Until Shen Qianfeng's voice sounded slowly: "Qin Mian, do you think this is still your Xiyue Kingdom? Even in the Xiyue Kingdom, it is impossible for the King of Xiyue to let a little girl with no official position kill him at will. Let the imperial court appoint officials!"
A man was convicted of murdering a court official. Even her father in Huashan could not save her. So he waved his hand to let all the guards go down, but the guard who just raised his sword to kill the old man still raised his sword. Standing there motionless.
Qin Mian said: "Your Highness, please raise your noble hand and place it on the next code."
As soon as Shen Qianfeng thought, the guard fainted on the spot. The next moment Tianjun appeared with two secret guards and caught the guard. Their master said: "Wait for interrogation." !”
When giving orders to Tianjun, Shen Qianfeng made sure of one thing. Qin Mian had nothing to do with this case, and the purpose of the guard's murder just now was another matter.
Shen Qianfeng found a clean chair and finished it. Then she heard someone outside saying that the Xue family came to the door. They said that they must ask the Second Prince's Mansion to give an explanation to the Guo family. This is really weird every year. Especially this year. Shen Qianfeng glanced at Qin Mian who was still standing and said: "I just followed the instructions of our prince to find out the truth about Xue Yanyan's death. If there is a murderer, I will teach him in a short time." You, as for the affairs of the Second Prince's Mansion and the Xue family, I will not interfere in any way."
"I'm afraid you can't do it if you don't intervene, because at the palace banquet at the end of the year, the second prince will present his father's request to marry the third young lady Shen Qianbi." Qin Mian smiled a little dryly: "Be the second prince's true concubine!"
Shen Qianfeng smiled bitterly: "The Shen family's affairs have nothing to do with me. My family is the Situ family." Their eyes only met for a moment, but Qin Mian was completely defeated in this confrontation. She felt guilty. He finally gave in: "Okay, I'll deal with the Xue family. I'd like to help Her Royal Highness to investigate."
"Go ahead, maybe the answer is about to come out." Shen Qianfeng suddenly smiled, looking at Qin Mian leaving, she finally sighed: "The royal family also has the sorrow of the royal family, I think I should be the lucky one Come on!"
Liu Kun hummed: "Why does Her Highness the Princess say that?"
"The guard just now had an indescribable aura in his big eyes. It is very likely that he has some hidden secrets about this girl Xue Yanyan." Shen Qianfeng then asked the old man: "Senior, although I can see that Xue Yanyan The pregnancy is fake, but have you ever suspected that this corpse is also fake?"
This sentence almost made everyone around him weak in fear. Then Shen Qianfeng came to the female corpse lying on the bed. He untied her lower body clothes and then called an old man to step forward: "Senior, I understand. Do you mean what I said?"
The old man's eyes were full of light and he kept nodding his head: "I understand, this is what it is like?"
Being able to imitate a person like this must have wasted a lot of heart. This person just wanted to replace the real Xue Yanyan, but what he didn't expect was that the second prince could shamelessly save the third prince. I don't know. Is it God's will, or are the two destined to have no fate?"
