"I believed such rumors before, but when I grew up, I felt that the words were unfounded. As long as there is no empirical evidence, I will not believe that it was the imperial grandmother who killed my mother and concubine." Princess Yonghe lowered her eyebrows: "Mother
I was still young when the concubine passed away, and it was Wang Zhaoyi who raised me later. But within a few years, Wang Zhaoyi also passed away for no apparent reason."
At that time, she heard people say that she was a bad guy and that everyone close to her died in vain.
Wang Zhaoyi was obviously fine before his sudden death, and there was no problem with his body. However, after he woke up from sleep, he was dead.
Although she was very young at the time, she felt that there was something fishy about Wang Zhaoyi's death.
In order not to involve anyone else, she later asked her father for permission and planned to live alone. So his father vacated a villa and renamed it Yonghezhai, allowing her to live alone here.
Years passed by, and both the death of her mother and concubine and the death of Wang Zhaoyi became knots in her heart that she could not untie.
She wanted to find out the truth, but she didn't know where to start.
Qin Zhao suddenly inquired about this matter, which made her feel hopeful.
The first impression Qin Zhao gave her was that he was very capable. The only person who could fight Concubine Wu out of the palace was Qin Zhao, right?
If Qin Zhao is willing to help her find out the truth about the death of his mother and concubine, will his hopes be greatly increased?
"Have the Queen Mother ever caused trouble to the princess in these years?" Qin Zhao asked.
Princess Yonghe shook her head hurriedly: "No! Because I heard that the Imperial Grandmother didn't like me, I never appeared in front of the Imperial Grandmother. This is the first time I have eaten with the Imperial Grandmother in my life."
The imperial grandmother was different from what she had imagined. She seemed kind and amiable.
"It must not have been the Queen Mother who killed Concubine Wan. If the Queen Mother had killed Concubine Wan, based on her position in the harem and her methods, there must have been a way to avoid leaving any trace, right? Why are there no other suspects?
A name pops up, but it is the Queen Mother who was rumored to have killed Concubine Wan?" Qin Zhao expressed his doubts: "I think the real murderer wanted to divert the trouble to the east, and second, wanted to separate the Queen Mother from the princess.
, isolate the princess, and kill two birds with one stone."
Princess Yonghe's isolation in recent years has a lot to do with the rumors in the harem that Princess Yonghe is a taboo that the Queen Mother cannot mention.
The other party's goal of isolating Princess Yonghe has also been achieved. As long as Princess Yonghe does not come to power, it will be difficult for Princess Yonghe to find out the truth about Concubine Wan's murder.
"Liangdi's analysis makes perfect sense!" Lu'e listened intently and couldn't help but give Qin Zhao a thumbs up.
Princess Yonghe was also amazed.
She had never thought about the mystery of this, but Qin Zhao thought so deeply that she was amazed.
"Then do you have a way to find out the truth about the death of my mother and concubine?" Princess Yonghe asked eagerly.
"I can only start the investigation if the princess has evidence. Whether it is a witness or physical evidence. If there is nothing, it will be difficult to find out the truth." Qin Zhao did not dare to give hope to Princess Yonghe.
After all, it happened fifteen years ago, and Princess Yonghe was so young at the time. If no clues were left, it would have become a headless case.
Princess Yonghe's heart dropped when she heard this: "I don't have any evidence in my hand."
By the time she found out, it had been many years since her mother-in-law's death. How could she have evidence on her hands?
Seeing Princess Yonghe's eyebrows dimming, Qin Zhao couldn't bear to see her disappointed, so he said, "I will ask the Queen Mother about it then, and maybe I will gain something."
But this matter is also related to the Queen Mother. It was also rumored that the Queen Mother was the murderer of Concubine Wan. This must have made the Queen Mother feel uncomfortable? Otherwise, she would not be reluctant to see Princess Yonghe.
"Will the Royal Grandmother be angry? I'm afraid it will hurt you." Princess Yonghe expressed her worries.
Qin Zhao smiled heartily: "No, the Queen Mother is very angry, why should she be angry? Anyway, I will find the right time, don't worry."
Princess Yonghe's eyes lit up when she saw Qin Zhao's bright smile.
When everyone gave up on her, only Qin Zhao was willing to approach her. Such a friendship was something she had never dared to imagine before.
Before Qin Zhao left, Princess Yonghe specially gave her some snacks she had made. Because Qin Zhao said they were very delicious, she made some temporarily.
On the way back to the East Palace, Qin Zhao sighed while eating snacks: "I can eat snacks made by Princess Yonghe herself, and I am the only one in the harem."
"Yes, Liangdi is amazing." Baoyu said specifically what Qin Zhao loved to hear.
Qin Zhao was happy after hearing this and gave some snacks to Baoyu.
After returning to Wangyue Residence, she was still thinking about how to find the Queen Mother to ask about the truth about Concubine Wan's death.
Or maybe she shouldn't be too anxious. Today, there is room for a change between the Queen Mother and Princess Yonghe. It's not good for her to ask the Queen Mother about Concubine Wan's death so quickly.
She thought about her thoughts all the way and returned to the East Palace. She never expected to meet Xiao Ce, whom she had not seen for some time.
Xiao Ce seemed to want to leave the East Palace. His eyes were sharp and his expression was cold. The moment he saw Qin Zhao, his expression became somewhat frozen.
Qin Zhao, who was not mentally prepared at all, didn't know how to express himself at this moment.
She quickly reacted and stepped forward to salute Xiao Ce.
Xiao Ce responded slowly and walked away without looking back.
Qin Zhao looked at Xiao Ce's back and wondered how long he would continue to be angry with her.
She just said something from her heart that day. People like Xiao Ce will get married sooner or later, and he doesn't have a relationship with her. If he is more than just a responsibility to her, maybe she will have a reason to fight for it.
.
When Baozhu and Baoyu saw this scene, they looked at each other, both afraid that Qin Zhao would be sad.
"The snacks made by Princess Yonghe are so delicious." Baoyu said exaggeratedly, trying to divert Qin Zhao's attention.
Qin Zhaochi stood there, feeling a little uncomfortable.
"If it's delicious, eat more." Qin Zhao said, and gave Baoyu the remaining snack box in his arms.
Baoyu looked at Baozhu for help, and Baozhu whispered: "Liangdi is in a bad mood. Let's just not bother Liangdi and let Liangdi relax by herself."
They also heard what happened that night.
It can only be said that Qin Zhao's calm attitude at that time made His Highness uncomfortable, right? His Highness originally said that the marriage would be postponed, but Liang Di was encouraging His Highness to get married.
Your Highness is such a proud person, how can he endure Liangdi saying these words?
But she could actually understand Liang Di's mood.
His Highness said that the postponement of the marriage is only temporary. Sooner or later, His Highness will still have to get married. Even if His Highness himself does not want to get married, the Emperor and Concubine Shu will always urge this matter to be carried out.
For Liangdi, it doesn't make any difference whether it's half a year earlier or half a year later. It's better to facilitate this matter early.
With such a status as the Crown Prince, it is impossible for him to never get married.
